The present understanding. perhaps alliance
between Great Britain and Germany calls TO
mind the interesting historical fact that almost
alone Of all Powers in Europe those two have
never been at war with each other Germany
has fought various others. and Great Britain
has at one time or another been at war with
most other Powers, but these two have never
vet crossed swords. The danger of their ever
doing so Is now greatly diminished.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.


They are waiting while others toll on
The men who want something for nothing:
They sigh for the days that are gone
The men who want something for nothing:
They curse the purse proud mionaire
They swear that his way unfair
The men who want something for nothing.
They steal and they burn and they slay-
The men who want Something for nothing;
They would sweep law and order away
The men who want something for nothing;
And wherever a ranter appears.
Preaching fatuous isms. he hears
An outburst OF ayes and Of cheers
From men who want something for nothing
They lag at the rear and they growl-
The men who want something for nothing:
There Is no kind OF weather hut foul
For men who want something for nothing;
And the swindler would long. long ago
Have taken aw or a hoe
And gone to work had there been
Poor fools wanting something for nothing.

CALLED ON NELSON.
State Superintendent Nelson Has to
Decide School Boundary
Dispute.
Superintendent Nelson go

Superintendent Nelson goes to White
water, Butler county, tonight, to settle an
appeal in a matter of school district
boundaries 1t is unusual procedure
for state superintendent to be called
upon to settle a dispute of this kind, but
in this case there is no other way in which
it can be decided.
c. F. Eaton lives in a joint school dis
trict part of which is in Butler and part
in Harvey county. He wants to have the
boundaries changed so that he will be
transferred into the Whitewater district
although he will then be farther from
school than he is at present, but his chill
dren will have a better school to go to.
There was objection to the change on ac-
count of the inequality of taxes in the
two districts.
AS it a joint district the matter was
brought before the superintendent of both
counties, who decided adversely to Mr.
Eaton. He wanted to appeal the case.
but the question was, to whom should he
appeal? If it had been a common school
district the county commissioners of the
county in which it lay would have decided
it, but being a joint district the commits
siOners of neither county had Jurisdiction
over it. 1t was therefore decided to refer
the matter to State Superintendent Nelson,
who will go down tonight to hear the
case

MAYETTA TRAGEDY.
Rejected Lover Shoots at the Young
Lady and Perhaps Fatally
Wounds Her Aunt

Mayetta, Kan, March 27.-Henry
Sanderson shot and probably fatally
wounded Mrs. John Fletcher late yes
terday afternoon.
Sanderson intended to shoot NADIA
Fletcher, q niece or the wounded wom-
an. but his shot missed her and took
effect in the abdomen of her aunt.
SandersOn is a nephew of Noah San
derSon, prominent farmer in Jackson
county. He has been paying attention
TO NADIA Fletcher and she refused to
have him continue and warned him not
TO call upon her. This is given as the
reason for his attempting to shoot her.
In company with a friend by the name
of DOnnelly, SandersOn drove in a
buggy from his home to the Fletcher
house and drew up near the fence.
NADIA Fletcher and her aunt were on
the front porch. Sanderson drew a re-
buggy. DOnnelly attempted to stop San
dersOn. but Sanderson pointed the re-
VOlver at him and warned him not to
attempt to stop him.
Sanderson commenced firing at the
women in the porch. One shot took eff
feet in Mrs. Fletcher's abdomen and the
rest few wide of their mark. After he
had emptied his revolver Sanderson
jumped into the buggy and drove to-
ward HoIton. Officers started after him
and caught him in the loft of a barn.
When they returned to Mayetta with
him a mob was waiting for him and
cries of Hang Him. were heard. A
train bound for Holton was standing at
the depot and the officers with their
prisoner boarded it and upon reaching
Holton placed their prisoner in Jail there
for safe keeping.
Mrs Fletcher lives in North Topeka
and was visiting in Mayetta-

HOBART'S CASE BAD.
The Vice President Is a Very
Sick Man.

Townsville Ga, March 27.-Vice
President Hobart is far from WE'LL and
it will not be a certainty that he will
leave here with the president until he
steps on the train. Care, attention and
a good long rest may bring him around.
President Mckinley and party leave
here at o'clock this afternoon by a
special train over the Plant system and
Atlantic Coast line for Washington.
The Associated Press dispatches from
Manila and also those from Gen. Otis,
which have been forwarded to the preSI-
dent the past few days, have been care
fully read, but the president has taken
no action or issued any instructions re-
garding the Philippine situation. Gen.
Otis, in the presidents opinion, has
handled matters ably, and will be al
lowed a free rein. The latest advices
show that our casualties are beginning
to run up, but also indicate that a crisis
may be approaching, as Aguinaldo him
self is commanding the FilipinOS, who
are being steadily beaten back. a hope
is entertained here that Aguinaldo, his
staff and some of his generals may be
captured. This, it is thought, might
cause a collapse of the Filipino msur-
gent movement.
The weather in Thomasville today was
quite warm, but the president and other
members of the party enjoyed final
drive.
The Cuban situation was gone over
pretty thoroughly with Postmaster Cen
eral Smith. The party which leaves to-
day will reach Washington about 8
o'clock tomorrow evening.
Besides President and Mrs Mckinley
the party will comprise Postmaster
General Smith, Vice President and Mrs.
Hobart, DR.. Rixey of the navy, Assist
ant Secretary COrtelyOu and Mr.. Barnes,
the White House stenographer
The president is greatly improved as
the result of his visit to ThOmasville,
and will return in something like ap-
preaching his vigorous health in the
early part of his administration.

LOSADO GOES TO SPAIN.
Aguinaldo's Agent Leaves London
For Madrid

London, March 27.-Losado, the Fill
ipino delegate has gone to Paris to
meet Agoncillo, Aguinaldos agent, who
is expected in London shortly.
The Filipino who was chief of the
European junta during Agoncillo's alb
sence in America suddenly started on
Saturday for Spain by way of Paris.
Unofficial Filipinos here assert that he
is going to Seville, on private business
and that he will return on April 16.
They admit however that he will confer
at Paris with Agoncillo, who is said to
have been in telegraphic communica-
ton with Aguinaldo in order to get the
latter to appoint a delegate to go to
Madrid on a mission connected with
the Spanish prisoners in the hands of
the Filipinos. 1t is therefore thought
probable that Agoncillo has instructed
the delegate to proceed to Madrid.
The Filipinos here assert that peace
was in sight before the recent fighting
but that now Major General Otis will
not treat for peace until MalolOs, the
Filipino headquarters is taken.
No Filipino accounts of the recent
fighting have been received and they
are not expected for some days to come.

A pitched battle was fought eight

They have been in hiding in this county
for some time past and were located

house they were met with a volley from
every window. They pressed forward
and at the time of Hendrickson's death
were engaged in a hand to hand con-
f1ict with the thieves.
Two were captured and five escaped.

ALIMONY REDUCED.
j. E. Dolman Will Pay $35 Month
to His Divorced Wife.

Judge Hazen today reduced the all
mony allowed to Mrs. John E. Dolman
and children from $50 a month to $35 a
month. He refused to change the GUS
tody of the two children from the moth
er to the father and Mrs. Dolman will
retain charge of them. Mr.. Dolman al
so asked the court to divide the alimony
so that it may be known what part goes
to Mrs. DOlman and what part to the
children but this Judge Hazen refused
to do
Mrs. Dolman's attorney resisted the
application for a reduction of the ali
mony but claimed that Mr. Dolman is
about 800 in arrears on the courts al
lowance of $50 a month. Mrs. DoIman
was a teacher in the city schools for
five years before her marriage and she
is determined to keep the children no
matter what amount of alimony is al
lowed She bears an excellent reputa-
ton both as a woman and teacher.
Judge HaZen ordered that Mr.. DOlman
be allowed to see the children every
two weeks.
