JUDGE SCOTT OPPOSES
Files Objections to Expenditures for Extra
Cells at Police Court.
Petition for Better Quarters Sent to
CommiSsioners-COur officials
IndOrse the Protest.

Judge Scott of the Police Court has adj
dressed a letter to the District Commission
ers, suggesting that the proposed expendi-
lures for additional cells in the court build
ing is wholly unnecessary.
Il have been informed he wrote, that
some person or persons propose to eXpend
large sums of money on the Police Court
building by placing additional cells and wa
ter closets therein. 1 beg to suggest to
you, gentlemen, with due Difference to all
such persons thus moving, that, in my opin-
ion, such proposed expenditures for addi-
tlonal cells are wholly unnecessary, now
that the dock in the United States court
room has been enlarged so as to accommo-
date the United States prisoners and thus
relieve the cells now provided.
Il have been for months endeavoring to
break up and discourage the attendance of
large numbers of both sexes, who come
regularly to court simply to crafty morbid
curiosity, and I earnestly protest against
the further expenditure of public funds I'M
necessarily, and which can but result in
encouraging sucn attendance, and a conse-
quent nuisance. l think a temporary closet
might be placed in the basement for the
use of male attendants, but it need cost but
a small SUN.
I'm thus writing you 1 feel sure 1 voice
the views of all the officials of the United
states branch of the court who are COM
PEELED to remain in the building from
o'clock am. to o'clock pm, and often
later, and i feel that l am performing
duty in trying to save the unnecessary eX-
penditure of money where there are
many demands made that ought to be met
we all hope you will aid in securing for us
suitable quarters in the proposed new mu-
mcipal building, to the end that the bust
ness of the court may be speedily Dispatch
ed in an orderly manner, the expenses of
the court curtailed and the healtn of Off
Gals preserved -

| harem of hens while the brainer man
can scarcely keep house with one mate
unchecked.
This teaches US that the higher that
beings ascend the ladder of wisdom the
less they have to do with females
Indeed, Jesus intimates that in heaven
the folly of housekeeping is entirely
dispensed with.
By the same source, holy writ. we
are informed that in wisdom is grief.
| And the worlds observation crystalized
in an adage is. ''Ignorance is bliss.
Persian religions inculcate the doc
trine that goodness in this world is
rewarded by wives IN paradise: If good
three wives; if better more wives; and
if the best. then covy of fifty wives
which is the greatest happiness reserv-
ed for the faithful.
The inference is, be an angel if you
desire wisdom and grief: be Mussul-
man if you desire mere happiness; but
be rooster if you long for exaggerated
bliss.
Darwin in his "Natural Selections"
contends that the gaudy plumage of
the male bird is a painting by nature
to attract the eye of the whimsical
| female.
Such doctrine is contradiction to
his theory of the survival of che httest
| in that the latter makes might, not
beauty, triumphant. But nature may
have put bright feathers on weakling
| in an effort to spare him from annihi-
lation.
Upon which theory can you account
| for the present nominees of the human
race?
A pretty form and face Is a rarity.
Moreover, the race is growing weaker
| from age to age. We are advanced in
wisdom, but retrograded in physical
beauty
By and by we shall be so developed
| in wisdom as not to be able to propa-
gate our species at all, making a sort
of caponizing heaven of this prolific
earth.
We are developing too rapidly up
ward towards the ethical beatitudes.
Before the race became extinct from
wisdom, deformIty and sterility we
| would better go closer to nature and
study its method for the conservation
of energies.
Study the rooster.
The only remnant of his traits left
with super-trained humanity seems to
be his lea st merltorious habit of crow
ing over Indifferent successes.

EllinWood Mill Burned.

About 10 p. m. Thursday the Goth.
fire broke out in the large Touring
mill at Ellin wood, and all efforts OF
the citizens to subdue the flames
proved fruitless, the mill and all its
contents was burned to the ground.
We have been unable to learn even q
conjecture as to how the fire started.
The loss of the structure and its con-
tents is estimated at upwards OF
1900, $4,000 of insurance was
carried. The mill was built and
operated for many years by Chas.
Grant, now with the Larned mills.
At the time of the fire it Is said to
have been owned by Chas. A. Willms,
who has been operating it for several
years.
This fire will doubtless be another
object lesson to the citizens of ElIin-
wood as to the necessity of some ad-
equate fire protection.

From the amount OF dense smoke
that swept through the streets almost
sitting everything with breath, Friday
afternoon last, most people thought a
disastrous fire was in progress. The
fire alarm was sounded and the depart

lot of manure and rubbish in the north
edge of town had been set on fire and
the high wind was in a fair way to
sweep the fire through the town. If
this rubbish must be dumped so near
town, there ought to be some penalty
against setting it on fire in a high
wind.

The democrats of Kansas, and of
the nation for that matter, have been,
year after year calling the attention
of the people to the republican
methods by which trusts and COM
bintions of large wealth are being
fostered and built up through tariff
legislation, the republican manner of
constituting laws on money matters,
and that partys trucking in every
cam mpaign to that class NJ ost interest,"

republicans would not be convinced
because, forsooth, those great capi'
talists were "with 'em0 and furnished
sinews of war-the money with which
they have forced themselves into pow

epidemic" has become so monstrous

hedge. The Topeka Mail and Breeze

question. II met at Lexington Tuesday
aud by vote OF TO 8 sustained Dun
lap, the committeeman from this dis
trict voting against sustaining. The
chairman OF the State Central Commit
tee, Col. Z. Z. Johnson, broke the tic.
BY his enemies this is construed to be
a big throw down for Senator Goe5el,
because the new men appointed by Dun
lap are supposed to be against him, but
those who think that the Coviugton
man is side tracked will find out how
badly they are mistaken. The Louis

matter was fight between it and the

IL the report OF President Allen II. Car
