HERINdToN, Dec. ll.-Oflicers at
the National Soldiers home and Kan
sas politicians generally are interested
over the election OF new member Of
the board Of home managers to take
the place OF Sidney &. Cooke. There
has been additional interest within
the last two days over the news re.
ceived here that General Franklin.
president Of the board Of managers.
had sent in his resignation on account
Of i'll health.
A strong demand has been made on
the members Of the Kansas delegation
IN congress to have a Republican
elected to take the place Of Colonel
Cooke. 1t is said there is no politics
connected with the selecting Of the
managers, but Republicans recall the
fact that when the Democrats had A
majority in congress they failed to
re'elect Major E. N. Morrill,, but Sc
lected Colonel Cooke, a Democrat.
Among the candidates are
Ten. >. X. Hudson, Gen. j. c. Car

Chapman Starts a Movement for ,
Temperance Commissioner.

|
| CHAPMAN, Dec. 11.-There ha
been organized here club which will
endeavor to create popular feelin,
in favor Of the bill known as th
"North Dakota Temperance Commits
sioner Bill"
] The bill provides for state tenn
perance commissioner, appointed by
the governor, whose specific duty il
shall be to enforce the prohibitory
laws. His powers in this direction
are almost unlimited and with the
assistance Of a large corps Of salaried
deputies, who will work after the
fashion Of federal officers, it is ex-
pected that he could rigidly enforce
all liquor laws.
This bill which is intended to be
introduced at the next session Of the
Kansas legislature, also increases the
penalty for violations of the prohib.
itory laws and makes it much more
difficult to obtain druggists permit.
A permanent organization was eff
fected, the following officers being
chosen: President, Rev. Hull; vice
president, Prof. Carter; secretary,
Rev. Ritter; treasurer, DR.. McShea;
correspondent, Rev. Thackery.

TO TEST A LAW.
Salary Law Of 1895 Claimed to Be
y Invalid.

A suit was brought today against
the county commissioners by ex-
Treasurer Pattison to test the law OF
1895 which reduced salaries in this
county. Mr.. Pattison was then
treasurer and when elected the salary
was $4,000. During his term the
salary was decreased and he claims
that $2,7O2. Is is due him under the
old law. The petition claims that
the law was illes ally passed and is
unconstitutional. 1t is understood
that the claim OF unconstitutionality
is based on the ground that an
officials salary cannot be changed
during the time for which he was
elected. This case will also deter
mine the salaries Of other officers who
were holding office at the time the
law was passed.
