FORT. SCOTT POLICE COURT.
Fatal Error Discovered in the Law
Creating 1t.

Fort Scott, Kan, March 29.-An error
which is probably fatal, has been dis
covered in the law passed by the last
legislature creating a city court in this
city. A carbon copy of the bill as pass
ed shows the twenty-second section to
read: THE governor shall appoint and
commission a judge and clerk for said
county hereby created, whose term of
Office etc. 1t has just been discovered
that the word county" in this section
is improperly substituted for the word
court" and it is claimed by RepubH-
cans who are displeased with Governor
Stanley's appointments to the offices Of
judge and clerk, well as by some at
torneys who have investigated the facts
that the bill passed gives the COVER
nor no authority to appoint a judge and
clerk of the court. Other serious faults
are found with the bill and il is intima-
ted that the court itself is beginning to
doubt it's own existence.
The police department has not yet
recognized the new city court. Owing
to a dearth of business matters the city
court nor the police court, which the
city court bill purports to abolish, has
had an opportunity to assert their dis
puted authority. Police Judge Slater
still contends that the city court can
not crush his office, and he insists that
the police shall continue to bring de-
PENDANTS before him.

Can Count on the Support of Southern
Populists-

Montgomery, Ala, March 29.-The

to name delegates from the state at
large to the constitutional convention to
be held next August. The action late
last night in refusing to the POpuliStS
the number of delegates proportionate
to the number of state senators-seven
gave the Democrats clear majority
Their plan is to submit the constitution
which they have prepared to the people
for ratification. The Republican OppoSl-
ton Is not very strong.
The illiterate white farmers are to be
provided for by an amendment proVid-
zng when one can not read or write he
shall be allowed to vote if he pays taxes
This would give practically every white
man the right to vote and eliminate
only the illiterate negro OF the farming
belt. The convention was called to or
der by ex-CongreSSman w. &. benson,
temporary chairman.

brought out strongly.
A state convention Will be called in

as good condition today as it ever was
and that all indications point to the
Populists being able to carry the state.

ATTEMPTS AT BRIBERY
On the Part of Quay's Friends
Sworn to by Legislators.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 29.-The legisla-
tive committee investigating the charges
of alleged bribery in connection with the
consideration by the house of the McCar-
rell jury bill and the ballotting for United
States senator, held sessions yesterday aft
ernoon and evening, and some intereS ting
testimony was presented.
Several of the members admitted that
offers had been rendered them for their
votes.
Representative Kendall of Somerset tes-
titled that a resident of Bedford county,
not a member of the legislature, had told
him that if he could see his way clear TO
vote for Quay for United States senator
he would receive 5000 He declined to
name the man Representative Iaubach
of Philadelphia testified that a man named
Frank Jones of Philadelphia told him that
If he would vote for Quay he CAaubach)

vention and vote for Quay the price would
''be altogether different" All the offers
were refused Mr.. Brown declined to give

HOW IT WORKS.
Explanation of New Regulations Re-
garding Postal Clerks.

washington, March ga recent cir
cuIar issued by Acting Postmaster Cen
eraI Heath constituting the act of con-
gress making Sundays and holidays ex-
elusive of the annual leave of clerks in
the executive departments to also in
clude the clerks at all first and second
class postoffices has produced a host of
queries from other employees. The clerks
at the first two classes of offices were
held to be included because the postof-
flee department has full Jurisdiction
over them. Mr.. Heath however holds
that the law does not apply to clerks at
the third and fourth class offices, as
they are hired and paid independently
by the postmaSters, nor does it apply to
letter carriers because statute provision
fixes the number of hours per day they
shall work, which being construed to
mean so many hours in fact per year,
cannot be reduced by any department
regulation.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Western Roads May Put In
Some Low Rates.
The Northern Pacific Starts
the Ball Rolling.
WILL ONLY COST $500.
To Ride From Chicago to Kan
sas City.
And From Chicago to Denver
to Cost $I5.
WILL ONLY COST $500.

Chicago, March 29.-Western passen-
ger men will decide today whether they
will put into effect some very low rates
which they were considering yesterday.
If they decide to make them effective
travel in the west will be cheaper for a
time then it has been for many years.
The rates under consideration are:
Chicago to Missouri river points.$ 500
Chicago to Colorado points ........ 1900
Chicago and Utah points .......... $500
Chicago to Montana points ...-.... 29.00
At the present time the rate from
here to Colorado points is $3.50; from
Colorado points to Utah points, $21. so,
and from Ogden to Montana points, $1S,
making a total fare from Chicago to
Montana points OF $50. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific recently
have put into effect a rate of ST. so from
ST. Paul to Montana points. The rate
from this city to ST. Paul Is $11.50.
Roads leading to Montana by way of
the Missouri river gateways must meet
this $29 rate if they desire to secure any
of the business. The northern lines
rates are for second class tickets only,
but lines via the Missouri river and
Colorado points have no second class
tickets, hence the situation so far as
they are concerned is more complicated.

POLISH JEHUS.

GF'rom the Woman's Home Companion I
To drive slowly over cobbIestones is
not a joy, but to drive four Russian
horses at a galIop over cobblestones
was something to make you bite your
tongue and to break your teeth and to
shake your very soul from its socket.
most solennly assure you it was any
thing but a simple drive to one fresh
from the asphalt of Paris, for like Jehu,
they drove furiously. Their horses are
all wild, runaway beasts, and they drive
them at an uneven gallop resembling
the gait of our fire engine horses at
home, except that ours go more slowly
Sometimes the horses fall down as they
drive across the country, or stop only
for stone walls or meats. The carriages
must be built of iron, for the front
wheels drop a few feet into a burrow
every now and then, and at such times
an unwary American is liable to be
pitched over the coachman's head
Hold on with your hands, shut your
eyes and keep your tongue from be-
tween your teeth would be my In
StructionS to one about to take a
drive In Poland.

THE FRAIL SOCIETY WOMAN
IFrom the Philadelphia Times.l

LFrom the Philadelphia Times.l
It has drifted into tradition that
people should praise the good old
times" and that the man or woman
should revile that which is present and
praise that which is past, but honesty,
candor and absolute sightednesS
force one to the opinion that never in
any age that has Joined the shadowy
has been were there ever women or
such vigor and fortitude as today live
and have their being in our social ranks.
The mothers of heroes in the revolu
ton or duty bound SerVitOrs of the re-
bellion could not vie with the debutante
of today, who proves the wonderful
power of her constitution as well
that of her country'S by enduring
and never tagging strength that many
a man might envy.
The routine of a day in her life is
enough to stagger most men. One or
two lunches, a half dozen teas, a din
ner, the opera and ball ending at day
break with a chatting dish repaSt is a
programme sufficiently severe to wear
veteran, yet which apparently has no
power to phase dozens of delicately
reared, delicately built women.
Have women stronger constitutions
than men? Is the modern code of ath-
letic indulgence the secret of women's
physical present day superiority over
that of our mothers and grandmotherso
Is the race being vitalized by the de-
mands of social life? These are ques-
tions hard to answer but the fact re-
mains that the society woman of today
can endure more and look less like one
having undergone an ordeal than all
the women put together who figured in
sized as being part and parcel of the
good old times.
