ANTHONY VS.. HOOK.
Fighting Leavenworth Editor
After the Federal Judge.

Col. D. r. Anthony is making a fuss
in the Leavenworth Times about Judge
Hook presiding in the next trial of the
Eillmon case. and an effort is being
made to drag the question into the SEN
atoria1 fight, to make capital against
Senator Baker.
Col Anthony alleges that Judge Hook
owns a controlling interest in the Leav-
enworth Standard, the Democratic pa
per which caused the defeat of An
thongs candidate for mayor of Leav-
enwOrth in the spring election, and this
is the cause of his grudge against Judge
Hook.
Col. Anthony claims that Judge Hook
purchased a controlling interest in the
Standard in the name of his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Staley, and that Judge Hook
and his law partner, John H. Atwood,
the we'll known Democratic attorney.
are the real managers OF the paper.
While the appointment of a federal
judge was pending, Col Anthony fought
Judge Hook on the ground that he was
the owner of a Democratic paper which
he used to fight Republicans whom he
did not like. But Hook was appointed
through the efforts of Senator Baker.
who refused the appointment for him
self. Anthony is a supporter of Baker,
which makes a complication.
Now Col. Anthony calls attention in
a double loaded editorial to the fact
that Mr.. Atwood, with whom Judge
been retained as one of the counsel for
the plaintiffs in the HiIlmon case, and
that the Standard has announced that
Judge Hook will try the case himself.
The editorial further says:
Judge Hooks newspaper has referred
many times to the Hillmon case within
the Ia ast year or two and has uniformly
spoken maliciously against the defend
ants and everyone who dared to QueS-
tion the legality of the claim
On account of these allegations An
thony claims that Judge Hook can not
give the insurance companies in the
In answer to the statement of An
thony that Judge Hook is running a
Democratic paper, the Standard says
that Col. Anthony himself tried to pur-
chase the Standard during the last
campaign, and stated that he would
place it under the control of a Demo-
cratic substitute, but the secretary of
the Standard company refused to fix a
price on it.
Now the Lawrence Journal tries to
| drag Senator Baker into the fuss by
calling attention to the fact that Ba-
ker once bOlted the Republican ticket
| and stumped the state for the Demo-
| cratic party.
IF Baker can openly fight the ticket
and then be rewarded with a United
| States senatorship," asks the Journal,
| ''why shall not Hook own a Democrat
| ic paper and fight Republicans he
| doesn't like?''

MEMORY OF A. J. ARNOLD.
Topeka Druggists Adopt Appropriat
Resolutions.

The Topeka druggists, at a meeting
of which A. B. WOOlvertOn was chair
man, adopted the following resolutions
in memory of the death of their cola
borer, A. J. Arnold:
Whereas, In the eventful course of
human existence it seems necessary for
the soul of man to ripen and in due
season take its departure for other
spheres, there to more fully expand in
to the perfectidea of the Infinite Creator.
and,
Whereas, One Of our craftsmen, Bro
ther A. ]. Arnold, whom we all re-
spected as a man of noble traits of
character, has finished his earthly la
bors and has gone to his well gained
quietude and peaceful hereafter; we,
his fellow craftsmen of the mortar and
pestle, will ever hold in fond remem-
brance his virtues as a brother, a citi-
zen, and a Christian.
Resolved, That we tender our SYM
pathy and consolation to his dear ones
who are left behind, believing that God
will be merciful to them as time goes
on and that they will fully realize the
great gain that has come to the one
they now mourn as dead.

WONDERFUL CIRCUIT.
New York, San Francisco, New
Orleans, Chicago, Topeka
and Thirty-Four Other
Cities Receiving News
at the Same In.
slant.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
State Journal was receiving Associated
Press news over one of the most re-
marl1able press circuits ever operated
in this country. 1t extended from New
York through the State Journal tele-
graph office to San Francisco, and also
down to New Orleans in the south, thus
putting the Journal office in direct COM
municatlOn with the Atlantic and IA
ciffc coasts and the principal lnterme-
diate cities, as we'll the larger cities
of the southern states.
At that hour connections were made at
Denver, Chicago and Cincinnati that put
5000 miles of wire into one circuit, with
thirty nine principal cities Of the United
States in direct communication with
each other.
After a few minutes preliminary ad-
justing of telegraph repeaters, the San
Francisco office told the operator at
New York that the Morse dots and
dashes were reaching him in good shape
and for him to proceed with the news.
''An right came back from New York,
quick as a flash Il have couple of
items 1 think will be of interest to San
several items about trusts. After this
our old friend, ''embalmed beef
bobbed up to harass about forty oper-
ators already tired from a hard days
work. This brought the experiment to
an end.
This is the longest press circuit ever
worked and was made possible by the
splendid copper wires used in the Asso-
ciated Press leased circuits and the fine
condition of the weather all over the
country
The following offices were copying the
news at the same time it was being re-
ceived in the State Journal office: New

SHE CURED A "HUGGER."
Miss Jonshone Pounded Him With a
Club Until He Surrendered.

McAdoo, Penn, April 26.-For some
weeks the town of COledale, near here,
has been greatly agitated over the an
tics of a man whose identity was a mys-
terry until last evening. The young
women of the community were repeat
edly accosted by the mysterious person,
who hugged and kissed them, then
quickly disappeared To the people of
the town he was known as Jack the
Hugger''
He ran against a snag last evening
when he attempted to crafty his
osculatory notions upon Miss Honore
Jonshone. The latter having occasion
to visit the outskirts of the town saw
a figure in the distance, and divining
his intentions armed herself with club.
As she turned a corner a man darted
from the shadows and tried to grasp
her. The club came down with force
upon his head. Miss Jonshone. who is
well built, applied the club with such
vigOr that her PROSTATE assailant was
forced to plead for mercy.
He proved to be Martin Kimball, a
young man of the village. and of good
connections. This disclosure was as
much of a surprise as the unexpected
curing of his hugging mania

ANOTHER IDEA.
@. a. Matthews Thinks Hamilton
Hall Should Be Utilized For
the Auditorium.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Dear Sir: I take it for granted that
1T is in order for every citizen to have
his say in regard to the location OF the
city hall.
I have a plan that think will prove
to be the most profitable investment for
the city and fill every requirement that
could be made, providing 1t could be
carried out.
Purchase Hamilton hall for, say, $20,-
600; then purchase the three lots where
the Model Supply store is for $4,000
more. Rebuild the entire portion where
the Model Supply store is and attach 1t
to Hamilton hall. This Will give the
city a building with splendid StoreroolnS
for rent on Sixth street with a large
amount of office room on the second,
third fourth and fifth floors facing
Sixth street. Also the best location for
the fire department in the city, as it
would give a downhill pull in every di-
rection, and with this location the JET
ferson street department could be con-
sOldated with the central headquarters
This plan would allow Hamilton hall
10 remain as it now is and could be cut
off with curtains from the galleries so
it could be used for moderate sized en-
tertainments and dances. In such a
building there should be an elevator;
there would also be plenty of space for
large exits.
The office and storerooms being To-
Gated on Sixth street and also being in
the city building would also bring in
large revenue to the city. No doubt
the city will have 100000 to put into
a property of this kind; if these two
properties could be purchased for $40,
600, this would leave $50, 900 to build the
building with, nearly One-half of it al
ready completed, as Hamilton hall could
be used almost as it stands.
The south wall would have to come
down to the second floor, the roof taken
off, the walls on the two ends and north
side built higher The details would
have to be worked out by architect.

BUNGLING BODIES
Kansas Legislature Fails In
Explicit Law Making,
But Succeeds Wonderfully In
Mad Blundering.
WALKS AND DRIVES
Will Receive Attention by EX-
ecutiVe Council.
In a Conference at Kansas City
Thursday.
Railroad Assessors to View
Railroad Property.

The state insurance department is in
deep trouble because the last legisla-
ture evidently crippled the power of the
superintendent of insurance in shutting
insurance companies out of the state.
Law-making is the function of the
legislature of Kansas but bungling
seems to be its principal characteristic.
Good laws have been ruined in the
madness caused by the amendment fe-
yer during the sessions and many good,
old reliable and important laws have
been virtually destroyed by the latter
day statesmen who, regardless of the
constitution and the advice of lawyers
plunged recklessly into them, striking
out important sections and inserting
provisions to apply to some individual
case.
This method of doing things is re-
sponsibIe for the destruction of a law
which prohibited unauthorized insur-
ance companies from doing business in
Kansas. This law was passed in 1871
but the legislature of 1899 passed a new
law, one section of which hits the old
law in the solar pleXus.
The old law says: 1T shall be unlaw-
full for any person, company or corpor-
alton in this state, either to procure, re-
ceive or forward applications for insur-
ance in any company or companies not
organized under the laws of this state,
or in any manner to aid in the tranSac-
ton of business with any such company
unless duly authorized by such COM
pany and licensed by the superintend-
ent of insurance in conformity to the
provisions of this act; and any person
violating the provisions of this section
shall be liable to a penalty of $500 for
each offense to be collected as other
penalties under this act"
This law imposed a heavy fine for the
writing of business for unauthorized in
surance companies in Kansas but the
last legislature comes to the front with
a new law introduced by Senator Hen
ry thinner of WyandOtte county
This law which was passed during
the closing hours of the session pro-
vides that persons procuring policies Of
insurance in companies not authorized
to do business in the state shall pay in
to the insurance department 10 per cent
of the premium thereon.
This law repeals all acts or parts of
act in conflict with it's provisions which
of course destroys in the old law what
ever provisions not in exact accord
with the later enactment. The rule Of
the courts in Kansas is that the stat
ute last enacted shall govern. This new
law works not against the unauthorized
company, but practically admits un-
authorized companies to do business in
the state and attaches the penalty for
such violation of the laws of business
and decency to the policy holder, the
insured, who is required to pay 10 per
cent upon his premium to the depart
ment.

SEIZE 5000 CIGARS.
Revenue officers Make a Capture of
Bogus Stamped Goods at
Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, April 26,-The internal
revenue officers yesterday and today
seized nearly five thousand cigars,
stamped with counterfeit stamps, that
were found in the city. The cigars were
manufactured by the Lancaster, Pa,
cigar manufacturers that have been
flooding the country with bogus cigar
stamps and silver certificates.
The cigars which were seized repre-
sent different brands, but all were man
ufactured by the same firm. They were
found in the possession of several diff
ferent business houses in the city.
