The case of Mounce against Kline for
the possession Of the building at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets, which is
now occupied by the defendant as sa-
loon, was called by Judge Langford this
morning. Kline, in the meantime, had
taken the case before Judge Steele of the
district court on question of jurisdic-
ton and secured writ of mandate
which in effect transfers the case to the
higher court. This will necessitate a
delay to the special term of court in May.
The defendant claims the right to pos
session of the premises under lease which
the plaintiff asserts has expired by limi
tation.

Salaries of County Officials.

The county commissioners, acting un-
der the new salary law fixed the salaries of
the various county officials this afternoon.
County Auditor Stookey having taken
his case to the courts to test the constitu-
ii onality of the new salary bill, Il e
commissioners were enjoined from fixing
his pay.
Following are the salaries for the re-
spective Offices:
Assessor ..... ...........,...,..,.,..,,., 1000
Probate Judge. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" 1900
School superintendent. 900
Soroher .........",........,,........ 2cU
surveyor ............................. 500
commissioners. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 500
These salaries are equitable and just.
The sheriff assessor and probate Judge
each received the maximum. The con-
ditions of this county, with the large
floating population and the relations OF
mixed citizenship, Indian and white on
the reservation, imposes onerous duties
on these offices especially. All the other
officials are given less than the amounts
paid in some other counties of the state
that rank with this in population. This
adjustment can but be generally satisfac-
tory.
The question Of deputies remained to
be settled late this afternoon. The pay for
this class of help will be in line with the
salaries paid under the old law.
The question of necessary expenses
will be vexatious one to be considered
at the end af the quarter when the bills
are prented.

MULES FOR MANILA.
Expert Boughman Will Take $40 to
the Philippines

Washington, Oct. 1.-Two hundred
and forty mules will be shipped tomor-
row from St. Asaph, Va, just beyond
the Potomac from Washington, across
the continent and then across the Pa
cific to Manila. Theodore Boughman,
who has been connected with the gov
ernment as scout and wagonmaster for
the past thirty years, has charge of the
mules. and says, barring the fact that
a majority of the animals are a little
too fat for a successful trip, everything
is in first class condition.
Last year BOughman, who is a splen-
did specimen of manhood, was employ
ed to organize mule trains in st. Louis
for seriVec in Cuba, and for the last
eight or ten months he has been ac-
lively engaged in handling these pc
culiar animals in Matanzas. He was
sent for to take charge of the train
which leaves tomorrow. 1t is under
stood at the Quartermaster's office that
the mules at st. Asaph are among the
very finest yet purchased by the gov
ernment.
By a new process of pressing hay, the
government has succeeded in putting
an ordinary bale of hay into a bundle
not much larger than a. Derby hat, and
yet the close pressing does not in any
way interfere with the nutritiVe quail
tiles of the hay One car of provender
win be sufficient to feed the mules for
several dayS.

GOEBEL REPUDIATED.

letter has begun bearing fruit No
less a Democrat than State Senator
Charles Bronston has been driven by
the evidences of GOebePs double deal
ing in 1896 to repudiate the King"
Bronston's declaration is the political
sensation of the day. The senator to-
day addressed a letter to ex-senator
Blackburn, in which he says in part:
I have just read the letter of Mr..
GoebeI to Mr.. Carlisle, of date May %,
1896, and knowing me as you do, it is
scarcely necessary for me to say that 1
cannot now speak for Mr. Goebel on
any conditions. To do so would be a
gross violation of all seIf-respect and a
sacrifice of all personal honor, and in
my humble judgment, would be disloyal
to the best interests of the Democratic
party.
I will not indulge the presumption
of even suggesting to you and your as
sociates that all self-respect. party
pride and personal honor demand that
Mr.. Goebel's name should by the party
organization be stricken from the ticket
and a loyal, upright, honest Democrat
and true man be put in his place.

Since leaving Home.

The regiment left Topeka on May Is, in

The regiment arrived in San Francisco

Preside. The volunteers were almost
naked. They had been urged, when they
started from home to Topeka not to take
their best clothes, as they would be sup
piled with regular uniforms soon after
their arrival there. They left their good
clothes at home. Their uniforms did not
show up.
The people of California took pity on
them and supplied them with shoes and
clothing. The papers all over the coun-
try roasted Kansas for sending out troops
in that condition. The troops themselves
