NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Both Sides Were Dissatisfied With
the V1rdict.

Judge Hazen today granted a new
trial in the suit brought against Peter
He'll by the Vermont Farm Machine
company. The case was tried at the
last term of court and q. verdict was
returned by the jury for the plaintiff,
but both parties were dissatisfied with
it.
The Vermont company brought the
suit for $S17.62. which it claimed Mr.
He'll owed it on an open account. In
the answer filed by Mr.. He'll he said
that the items over which there was a
dispute We're hand creamery separa-
tors and that he had simply acted as
the agent of the Vermont company in
selling them; that the machines which
he still had on hand belonged to the
company and were subject to its order,
and that the company owed him $3.50
as commission on machines he had al
ready sold, for which amount he asked
judgment against the company
The case was tried before a jury, and
the jury returned a verdict of 1857. 81
for the plaintiff Judge Hazen was as
much dissatisfied with the verdict as
were the parties to the suit, but he let
it pass, and a motion for new trial
was filed in due time.
The motion came up for hearing a
few days ago, and some of the men
who had sat on the jury which returned
the verdict were summoned to tell how
they arrived at the verdict. From their
story it seemed that they couldn't agree.
Finally they decided to cast a ballot
on which each juror should state how
much he thought the judgment ought
to be, and they would then take the
general average for the verdict.
One ballot was taken in this way,
but some of the jury were not satisfied
with it, and another was taken with
the same result This also caused dis
satisfaction because some of the jury
thought Mr.. He'll ought to have his $3.50
commission.
They finally agreed to cast the third
ballot as they had the others, and then
take from the average amount $3.50 to
represent Mr.. HeiIs commission and
render a verdict in favor of the Yer
mont company for the balance
In rendering his decision this morn
ing Judge Hazen said:
4 want to state that I will never
lend any encouragement to this way of
finding a verdict I was very much dis
satisfied with it. 1t should have been
either verdict for the defendant or
verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount. That method of finding a YER
dict does not come within the law and
it does not represent the minds of those
juryTnen. 1 shall take pleasure in
granting a new trial in this case, es-
pecially as both parties have filed mo-
tions asking for it

PRETTIER SCHOOL ROOMS.
That Is What the Women's Fedora
tion Is Working For.

Saturday afternoon there was a
meeting Of the Federation of women's
clubs at the Unity church and two in
teresting subjects were discussed. Ow-
ing to a mistake which was made the
teachers who were expected to be pres
ent at this meeting, could not attend
Mrs A H. Thompson, president. called
the meeting to order. The object of the
meeting was to consider the subject of
each club of the federation presenting
a picture to be placed in the school
rooms of this city. Mrs. Thompson gave
brief talk upon the work that had
been done at the high school and at
Lincoln school Much more could have
been done to improve the rooms had
they been provided with money with
which to carry the work on. The Kel-
lam Book and Stationery company have
kindly offered to make an exhibit of
appropriate pictures at the October
meeting of the club.
It was thought best that the presi-
dent should appoint a committee to be
made up of members of the federation
one member to have charge of each
school.

MEET THURSDAY.
Meeting of Commercial Club Post
poned One Day.

time for holding the September meet
ing of the Commercial club but there
will be no meeting on that date Major
Anderson is busy today sending out no
tees to that effect, and stating that
the meeting will be on Thursday even
ing instead
The reason for this change is the
circus. Wednesday the circus win be
in the city and there will probably be
too many children who viii have to be
taken to see the elephant to secure
good attendance at the Commercial
club meeting, and for that reason II
was postponed
There are a number Of important sub
jects to come up at the meeting. The
committee on the reception TO the
Twentieth Kansas viii be expected 70

discussed The proposition Of the
butchers and grOcers to give the bar
becue to the soldier boys Will be pre-
seuted- This plan would relieve the
Commercial club Of much Of it's work
in connection with the reception
It is probable that the question OF
celebrating the semi-centenniaI of
Kansas will also be taken up at this
meeting, as the matter was laid over
from last month.

Violin.

w c. Stenger. of Topeka, has a
violin he prizes as a real Francesca
Ruggeri made in Cremona, Italy, in
1880
An uncle of Mr.. Stenger. John Stem
ger, was travelling in California and
at an old monastery he found the in
strument and learned its history. A
monk, who came to this country and
settled in California before the gold
craze in '49, brought the violin with
him. Living around the old monastery
were old settlers who remembered
about the monk and his death.
In rummaging over the effects Mr..
Stenger brought out from pile of rub
bish this old CremOna- It had been
kicking around there for years and no
one knew its value. It had fallen to
pieces. Mr.. Stenger secured the pieces
and sent them to his nephew who sent
them to Chicago and had the pieces re-
glued. There are two other violins of
the same make in this country for sale.
The price of one is $500 and the other
81 500.

BONDS NOT REGISTERED.
State Treasurer Finds $4,000 Unac-
counted For.

In checking up the bonds owned by
the state school fund and deposited in
the vaults of the state treasury today,
ten bonds were found which are not
registered with the state auditor and
there seems to be no record of their
SiOnerS
The bonds in the sum of $1,000 were
issued by school district No. is, Allen
county, in 1897 and were presumab bly,
purchased by the POpulist school fund
commissioners
A legal requirement of the law gov
erning the purchase of bonds is that
they must be registered with the state
auditor whose certificate is a guaran-
tee of the correctness and legality of
the purchase
Treasurer Grimes has asked the at
torney general if he has authority at
this time to return the bonds to the
state auditor for registration.
