n1gnt, ana were heavily armed lOr their
own protection against the mob of five
hundred armed Missourians who would,
it was rumored, accompany the judges
when they came to hold their session.
They saw no such demonstration, and
stayed on for two or three days. Ma
tives gathered around and laughed at
them. Then on the second day the
news was broken to the weary mar
shals. On the morning of May l, two
of the judges, Thomas hewitt and Da-
vid Walker, in SLOUGH hats and old
clothes, had walked boldly up the steps,
past the officers, and into the court
house. They went to the clerks room,
transacted routine business for mo-
ment, while apparently conversing with
him, and adjourned to meet at the call
of the chairman. Then they went out,
lounged around a little, and skipped for
the woods again. The town laughed at
the marshals and told them what had
happened,
Then one Of the county officials
stepped out on the upper portico and
his voice rang out in rich monotone:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable coun-
ty court Of St. Clair county is now in
hiding."
Il guess there amt much doubt
about that" laughed the marshals, and
they continued their watch.
In the evening the county clerk left
town on horseback, taking with him
large bundle of manuscript-busines
for the consideration of the county
court, which he met somewhere in the
,l, l,n1e j1t, 1aI m, cnn
the minutes, but the clerk refused. He
stated, however, that at the unnotced
meeting the tax levy for the year was
made and the years business can go on
regularly.
The marshals stayed the week out and
then sent word to the judge at Kansas
City: Cannot find the judges. What
shall we do?" The answer was, Come
back" and again the federal court was
defeated
There are three classes Of men In the
county-those who want to compromise
the debt at almost any figure to wipe
out its evil stain; those who would settle
for two hundred and thirty-one thou
sand dollars and the face of the bonds
those who would not settle at all. They

Statisticinn Makes unique Calcutta
don OF the boys and Girls
Born Every Year.

1t has been computed that about
36.O00O0O babies are born into the
world each year, says Woman's Life.
The rate Of production is. therefore,
about 70 per minute. or more than one
for every beat of the clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar. but ii is not
everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find, on
the authority of well-known statisti-
clan, that could the infants of year
be ranged in a line in cradles. the era
dies would extend around the world.

in more picturesque light. He i'm

TWO NIX. STRINGS.
Strange Coincidence I'm Names OF

There were two men of the same name

Soon after the regiment arrived at
Montank Point. Sergt. Spring began to
get very fiattering litters from young

we're none the less welcome for being
unexpected. At the same time Private
spring was deciding that he must be
able TO charm at distance. because
Massachusetts girl was writing TO him
in particularly affectionate strain. and
wanting to know if there wasn't some
thing she could send him.
Private Spring thought of a lot Of
things that he could use if he had them
but as the fair correspondent had
omitted 10 sign her last name. it didn't
seem feasible TO write for them. Pres
emily both Springs began to get letters
complaining that no answer had been
received to questions asked in the
writer's previous letters.
AT the height of the tangle Sergt.
Spring was walking along the road one
day. when n comrade called his name

M KINLEY SEES NO ONE
Except the Secretary of the
Navy on Business.

Washington, April 25.-The president
was feeling better this morning, though
he still suffered from the attack of neu-
ralgia which compelled him to deny
himself to callers yesterday. The regu-
lar cabinet meeting was held as usual,
but before the cabinet assembled the
president remained in his private apart
ments and to several visitors who
called, including Senator Thurston and
Representative Mercer of Nebraska,
Gen John B. Gordon of Georgia, eX-
Representative Cultivate of Ohio and
Senator Proctor of Vermont, he asked
to be excused.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy AL
len, who called upon departmental bus
mess, was the only visitor he saw. The
neuralgia attack from which the preSi-
dent is suffering is not expected to in
terfere with his trip to Philadelphia to
attend the ceremonies in connection
with the unwilling of the Grant monu-
ment on Thursday. The party will con-
sist of the president and Mrs. McKin-
ley, Secretary and Mrs. Gage, Secretary

Griggs, Secretary Hitchcock, Capt. AL
gernOn SartOriS, grandson of Gen.
Grant Assistant Secretary Cortelyou,

family servants. The president will not
speak at any of the functions.

TO OWN ITS CAR LINE.
Mayor of Emporia and Editor w A.
White Favor Municipal Ownership.

Emporia, April 25.-Mayor Morse and
the councilmen who have been talked
with are heartily in favor of a street
railway, run by electricity and operated
by the town. They have talked the
matter over together, and are getting
figures to ascertain whether the electric
light plant owned by the town would
have to be enlarged to run the street
railway.
Mayor Morse says that it is his am
bition to see an electric railway run
ming in EmpOria before he leaves office
In this connection Editor w. A. White
of the Gazette says: Those in favor
of the railway have the best of the ar
gument. There is not town in the
state the size of EmpOria that is not
traversed with a car line. Next week
there will be thousands of people in
Emporia and there will be no way to
carry them over the city except in car
riages. ]. w. Boright one of the stock
holders of the metropolitan railway of
Kansas City has written repeatedly to
the town authorities asking to come
here and figure on putting in electric
railway. If the town doesn't want to
do it why not let some one else have the
franchise? But the thing is for the
town to own the railway

SETS HIS
FOOT DOWN.
Governor Stanley Will Not
Dispense PardOns
To Everyone Who Wants to Get
Out of the Penitentiary.
SAFER IN THAN OUT
Is the Way the Executive EX-
pressed Himself
On the Application of Harry
Stops of Chicago.
SAFER IN THAN OUT

Harry Stops, the Chicago man who
was sent to the penitentiary from Shaw
nee county for three years, having been
convicted of abduction. has been max
ing strenuous efforts to secure a par
don but without avail
Stops attempted to secure his liberty
through executive clemency from Gov
ernor Leedy but failed. He has recently
made another application to Governor
Stanley but again failed. Governor
Stanley in taking action on the applica-
ton turned Stops application down in
a manner described in ordinary YER
nacular as very hard
The representation has been made to
the governor that Stops should be
given his liberty because the girl in the
case was bad woman This PROPOSE
ton was dwelt upon until Governor
entire proceedings. He made a careful
investigation of the affair, at the
conclusion of which he said:
IF Stops remains in the peniten-
tiary he will not bother girls good or
bad 1 will not give his application for
pardon any consideration whatever
until he has served two years of his
sentence of three years. Then if, he
comes in with an application for a par
don and new evidence 1 will give him a
hearing"
Stops has served about one year and
a half. The case in which he figures
was unusually sensational He took
Marjorie Wallace to Chicago where a
mock marriage was performed. Stops
then fed to escape the officers and kept
the woman in hiding. The girl was
FOUND and brought home and several
weeks elapsed before Stops was appre-
hended. He was then brought back to
Topeka and convicted in the district
court.
