Report of the Leavenworth Horticul-
tural Society.

Leavenworth, March THE Leaven-
worth County Horticultural society met
at the court house Saturday afternoon.
The meeting was somewhat informal,
the all-important topic being, What is
the present condition of fruit trees and
plants?"
Their Investigations were as follows:
Strawberries made splendid growth
in 1898, and where covered have stood
the cold weather; unprotected plants
generally killed. Raspberries, both
black and red, nearly all killed. Black
berries, with the exception of the Sny-
der are dead.
Only few varieties of grapes exam
ined; the Concord and Victor all right.
Currants and gooseberries are unin-
jured.
Peaches and Japan plums nearly all
killed.
Apple trees injured, but retaining
sufficient vitality to keep on bearing,
with a good prospect for an average
crop this year.
The wood of the cherry does not seem
to have suffered.

March the various provinces excepting the
province of Santiago have made requisi-
ton for two million rations. Thus, in

woman reclining on an easy chair, with
pillows at her feet, with table at one
side with flowers on it, and the invalid
looking sweet and languid. But, heav-
ensi did you ever see the wrapper in
reality 1t is a sloppy looking kitchen
dress, and the legislature should pass
laws forbidding the making of such a
garment. As soon as a man discovers
that his brides outfit is to include a
wrapper, he has grounds for breaking
off the engagement.

HUNTING A HOME.
New City Court officers Looking For
aLocation.

The officers of the new city court are
now on the anxious seat. They are Won
dering where the new court is to be To-
Gated. Governor Stanley's appointment
of the nominees of the Republican pri-
mary will put the court into operation
as soon 1t can be organized. Judge A
J. McCabe thinks that he will be ready
for business some time this week, but
no room has been secured or furnished.
The location of the new court is left
to the board of county commissioners.
They furnish the rooms and make all
the necessary provisions for the COM
fort of the court. The board shows a
disposition to use a room in the base
ment of the new court house but the
proposition is being met with such a
storm of protests from every one con-
nected with the new court that the
board may make some other decision.
The court should have at least three
roons-one for the clerk and a court
room and jury room. At the court
house there is only one room unless the
clerk should have a room on the third
floor and that would be altogether too
announcement.
The lawyers want the new court To-
Gated on Kansas avenue where it will
be in easy reach of every one and that
is where it probably will have to be.

JONES MUST REST.
Democratic Chairman Is In a
Serious Condition.

Washington, March 7.-Senator ]. X
Jones of Arkansas is considerably i'm
proved today and no immediate danger
is apprehended- His last attack of
heart trouble, which came on yesterday,
while carriage driving, is ascribed to
over-exertion and over-confidence in his
condition.
The senator rested easy last night.
but it is stated that he will be subject
to periodic attacks unless he preserves
the utmost quiet and remains at home
for at least a month. Except upon an
unforeseen contingency, however, it is
thought there need be no alarm as to
the outcome of his illness.

ence" With That Result.

a year as state accountant for the past
two years, has resigned"
The office of state accountant is part

of the offices which Governor Stanley
announced that he would abolish as he
thought the work done by the late &C

as he did when Mr.. Leedy sat in the ex-
ecutive chair.
When Governor Stanley yearned that
Mr.. Riggs was still drawing his salary,
he sent for him to come to his room at

THE FINE SYSTEM
Is Condemned by the Topeka Minis
terial Union.


The Topeka Ministerial union at the
meeting Monday adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, By the Ministerial union of
Topeka that we congratulate the citi-
zenS of Kansas on the noble stand an
nounced by our present governor, w.
f. Stanley, on the full and faithful en-
forcement of all laws. not excepting
the proh1bitory law, and we here y call
upon all law abiding citizens 10 lid by
all ladable means the officers in the
enforcement of all the laws, and espec-
tally the prohibitory law.
Resolved, That we memorabilia and
petition the mayor, the city council,
the marshal and city attorney to see to
it hereafter that no moneys are collect
ed as fines forfeitS unless such fines
or bonds and forfeits are Imposed by
due process of law before a court of
competent Jurisdiction.
Resolved, That we protest in the
name of law and order and in behalf
of good citizens of our common country
against the practice. either hidden or
open, of collecting money for city or
other public uses by the pernicious
practice of taking money from the Vio-
laters of law as fines without legal trial
as cash bonds to allow violaters of the
law to escape trial, sentence and full
punishment by proper courts of Justice
and we protest in the name of good or
der and loyal citizenship against taking
blood money as a hoodwink by city or
der or authority to condone the crime
of violating the city ordinances or state
law by professional jointiSts as is shown
in Marshall Strauss January report of
So-called fines collected"
The resolutions also approve of the
defeat of the resolutions to resubmft
the prohibitory law.

BURNED THE JOINT.
An eye Sore" at Eudora Destroyed
Armed Men Prevented
Interference.

Eudora. Kan, March AT II o'clock
last night the joint just across the Kan
sas river bridge from this place, at the
edge of Jefferson county, which was
known as SANDY Hook was set fire
to and burned to the ground. Two men
with shOtguns guarded the north end
of the bridge and preveT Ted anyone
from the south side making an attempt
to save the building or to make a too
careful inspection of the work.
The place has been an eyesore to the
people of the north side as we'll as to
those of this place. The proprietor has
ofteen been threatened and had prom
ised to close the place several times, but
always failed to keep his promise.
The people of Fall Leaf on the north
side, have held several meetings to con-
slider some means of closing the place
and it is not unlikely that they have
at last resorted to this heroic method
of Kidding the community of it.
A man named Poleet is said to have
run the place.

bridge was not built by the county. but
by Oxford township, by voting $4,000
in township bonds. In 1877 high water
destroyed the structure and it was sup
planted by pontoon bridge until 1884,
when the county erected a pile structure
on the site of the present bridge.
Sumner county is now the possessor
of fifty bridges, including those con-
tracted for, the original cost of which
has been Sis, 1866. In the construction
of seven of these the additional sum of
$3.50 was contributed by private indi-
Viduals, who were particularly inter
ested in the building of the same. Add
to this an estimated expenditure of at
least $4,000 for the cost of repairs. and
it is shown that the people of this coun-
ty have expended SAC, 215 on bridges.

MAMMOTH RECORD.
Will Take Three Months to Transcribe
Evidence in Collins Case.

Stenographer Ralph Cav of the dis
trict court says that the attorneys for
John Collins have not yet ordered a
transcript of the evidence in the case,
though Attorney GODDARD has announced
that the case will be taken to the SUI
preme court.
The notes of the evidence fill IS ste
nographer books, total of $500 pages.
1t would take one man year to tran
scribe the evidence but if a record is
ordered Mr.. Cav will employ assist
ants and redictate much of the evidence.
1t is possible that with two three as
sistants the record may be completed in
three months. 1t will make four or five
volumes. 1t will cost about 81 900 to
secure this transcript of the evidence
so that taking the case to the higher
court will be an expensive proceeding.

phoned the police who, after a half hour 5
hunt in the crowded downtown streets,

HE GOT EVEN
And Now Lee Young Finds Himself
in Jail.

Lee Young, a farmer boy aged 10
years, who resides in the vicinity of OF
tawa, was brought to this city last night
by Deputy United States Marshal Aus
tin Prescott and lodged in the county
Jail on the charge of sending an i'm
proper letter through the mails. The
arrest of the young farmer seems to be
the result of a quarrel with his sweet
heart, Cora Bryson, a girl IA years old
who lives with her parents in Ottawa,
and the peculiar manner in which he
attempted to get even" with her. He
wrote her a letter, which among the
many questionable communications on
file as evidence in the office of the
United States district attorney, takes
a front place. The girls parents
cured the letter, and turned it over to
the postal authorities
Young admits that he wrote the letter,
but says that he was aided in its COM
position by another young farmer, who
mailed it for him. He will have his
hearing Saturday.

OUAY'S WITHDRAWAL
During the Week Is Ramored at
Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, Pa, March There are
rumors current here that Senator Quay
will withdraw before the close of the
present week and that George F. Huff
of Greensburg will be chosen his sue
cessor in the United States senate.
There is also talk that if Mr.. Quay re-
mains in the fight the Lancaster dele
cation will desert him on account of
the removal of a nephew of ex-Adju-
tant General Mylin of Lancaster by
Governor Stone from a subordinate
position in one of the departments. SEN
ator Quay's managers ridicule these re-
ports and insist that under no condi-
tions will he withdraw. They say their
lines are intact and rumors of further
defections in their ranks are absurd.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
Judge Hook Is Settling Down to
Work in Earnest

The hearing of the intervening petit
ton of Mrs. A. w. Dana, who was for
merly Miss Kate Whiting, in the fore
closure proceedings against the Topeka
Water company in the federal court to
recover a judgment of 81, 900, secured in
the district court, comes up before
Judge Hook this afternoon The judg
ment was rendered as damages for in
her mother in a runaway accident, the
horse taking fright at a stream of water
gushing from one of the cOmpany'S hy
drantS. 1t was affirmed by the supreme
court, and the intervening petition in
the federal court asks that the judg
ment be satisfied.
Judge Hook has continued the re-
straining order issued on petition of the
sheriff of Pratt county to prevent the
receivers of the Wichita &c Western
road from removing track material
from the abandoned line in Pratt .coun-
ty- March Is has been set as the date
of the hearing.
A Judgment of s4,315.50 in favor of
the plaintiff has been entered by Judge
Hook in the case of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance company against Joseph
7. Smith, and certain land in Clay
county is ordered sold if the judgment is
not paid in five days. A judgment of
81, 46425 in favor of the plaintiff has
also been entered in the case of p P.
Emery against T. G. Bowen, and GER
tain lands in this county are ordered
sold to satisfy it.
Judge Hook will open his first regular
term of the United States district court
at Wichita next Monday. Probably the
most important case on the docket is
the well known Rearick-Brown-Wi Wilson
prosecution for violation of the inter-
state commerce law. The three men
formed a combination to make for
tune in the purchase and sale of grain.
Brown was the Santa Fe agent at Pur-
cell, Rearick bought grain in northern
Kansas and Wilson stationed himself
in Texas to receive it, When the grain
in transit reached Purcell, Brown
changed the billings and it went
through to Wilson on the changed bill
ings. The combination was discovered
before it had been in operation long.
The following bankruptcy applicants
have been discharged from bankruptcy
by Judge Hook: James D. Roadhouse
and Charles Roadhouse, Fort Scott;
Eliza w. Osborn, Cherokee county;
Columbus Dunaway, lola; j. w. Car

day, directing the refunding to William
Rockefeller of taxes collected illegally

have it set aside. He paid his taxes,
however, under protest. A commission

ONE TRUST FAILS.
The American Cereal Has Gone to
Pieces.

Akron, O., March THE men who
bought the American cereal stock at
fancy prices with the expectation that
Promoter Eddys big $33, 0OO, 900 cereal
trust would be formed, have not aban-
doned hope of the ultimate consumma-
ton of the combine.
Publicity and injunctions according to
those interested is what wrecked the
project. The matter is to lie dormant
for while. when it will be taken up by
some promoter to be selected by the
Stuart combine people and the Cleve-
land-AkrOn syndicate. Some of the
smaller concerns upon which Eddy had
options will be left out, it is said and
there will be less water in the stock.
