The rebel commanders offer large in

Americans are a reckless class, and in
a great part to their energy is due the

should not be added to the number of

The number of defective ballots
thrown out is 80. If they succeed in
having these ballots deducted from the

having the special act submitting the
question to a vote knocked out on the

Emporia, Nov. 23.-Dan Dryer, city
marshal, will bring suit against the
city to pay the fees of his witnesses in
the assault and battery case, in which
he was defendant at the last session of
the District court.
Dryer was convicted, in the police
court, of assault and battery, but ap-
pealed the case to the District court.
The jury, after being out a long time,
acquitted Dryer of the charge.
At the time Of the trial the marshal
had, of course, a number of witnesses
who testified in his behalf. The fees
of the witnesses amounted to some
thing over s34. He refused to pay the
fees, alleging that the city Is liable for
the witness fees Of both sides of the
case.
Accordingly, he presented a bill for
the amount to the city council, but that
body refused to allow the fees on the
ground that it was not liable for them.
