BUY HIM A HOME.
Old Soldier Suggests a Reward For
Gen. Funston's eGalIantrY.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE:
To the Editor of the State Journal.
Dear Sir:-As an ex-volunteer in the
civil war I appreciate the work of our
Kansas boys in the Philippines and be-
ton to gallant Gen. Funston would be
the right thing. But 1 assert that of all
useless articles ever invented and used,
a sword is the most useless. In a tight
place any general would trade a $4,000
sword for a 81. so revolver if the revol-
yer was well loaded. or even a hatful
of rocks might be better lin a pinch"
David's pebbles were mightier than
Goliath's sword. A valuable sword; too
precious for any pIebe to look upon
kept with anxiety under lock and key
must ultimately find it's rest in a pawn
shop or a glass case in the rooms of an
historical society, with little benefit to
any one but the maker. Gen. Funston
found a bride since he left US. A mar
ried couple should have a home. How
much better to present them with a
pleasant and useful home in beautiful
Topeka. than a useless sword. Let the
subscriptions roll in" and buy them a
home and then furnish it and put a
rig in the barn and money in the
bank for the little necessaries needed
until he is settled or fixed with an in
come Which shall it be? A home that
will bring him to city to live, or a
useless sword to rust in useless idle
ness? Respectfully submitted by
VIM. H. BARNES,
Secretary of Horticulture.

Another Chapter in Controversy

tory is printed by George w. Crane of
this city.
The commission has been in session
nine days, the time for the first legal

commission to avail itself of the law
providing for the calling of a special
session to begin Friday morning.
The work of the commission will not
be completed before the middle of next

been adopted is official and may be de-
pended upon.
There were other histories of Kansas
presented to the commission, but they
were not acceptable.

FOR PIXIES PEAK.
New Observatory, Showing Horizon
of $4,000 Square Miles.

Colorado Springs, May 1o.-The con-
tract has been let for the construction
of the observatory tower on Pixies
Peak, and work will be commenced this
week. The Hassell Iron works of Col
orado Springs will do the work with
the exception of the foundation and the
structure as high as the first story,
which are to be of stone.
Above this stone work the iron tower
will rise As feet in a style somewhat
after that of the Eiffel tower having a
little balcony at the top. The summit
of the tower viii be fitted with three
and possibly four, fine adjustable teIe-
scopes, which will bring into clear view
everything within a horizon marked by
Denver, Florence and Mt. Resale This
area is, approximately, $4,000 square
miles.
By the placing of the telescopes at
the top of this observation tower, one is
ena bled to see everything near the base
of the peak objects which are not Wis
ible with the present arrangement, I'M
less one makes the circuit of the II
acres at the summit of Pixies Peak.
It is the intention of the manage
ment of the accommodations at the
summit to rush the work to completion
by June l, although the time allowed in
the contract does not expire until June
Is. The observation tower will be an
accessory of the hotel on the summit.
The hotel is also to be enlarged this
spring.

DYING VERY HARD.
Effort Being Made to FOist Old
Justice Courts on City.

Those who have commended that the
law creating the city court of Topeka
is invalid or unconstitutional have
struck upon a new idea and now claim
that the bill was not properly passed
and recorded.
The claim is made that the senate
journal shows that senate bill No. Z,
the original bill creating two city
courts, passed the senate and that It
was allowed to die in the house and
that a substitute bill creating one court
was passed by the house and not by
the senate and that therefore there is
no legal city court.
Senator T. J. Anderson, who fathered
the bill, says that the law creating the
city court is valid. Senate bill No Z
was regularly introduced by me-" said
Senator Anderson. 1T provided for two
city courts and was passed. After it
had gone the rounds of the attorneys
in the city so many changes We're found
that a substitute was drafted ana
passed by both branches. If the clerks
failed to record it that is no reason
why the law should not be valid. Moth
ing but the substitute was printed"
Representative W. c. Stephenson
said: THE bill came back from the
senate and was passed by the house
When it came up there was some dis
cussion on the jurisdiction of the court
and limiting the bOundrieS of the justice
courts outside the city. The bill passed
both houses in regular order and if the
clerk failed to record it that should not
inValidate the bill"
Justice of the Peace A. F. Chesney
will commence habeaS corpus proceed
ings in the supreme court to prove that
the bill is invalid. Il was getting ready
to take the case up to the supreme
court on test case" said Judge Ches-
ney, when L found the mistake. 1t will
take two months to have the question
settled in that court. The senate failed
to pass the substitute bill but passed
the original bill The house passed
the substitute and not the orig
inal bill. The bills were different for
the original provided for two courts
and the substitute for only one. If the
law is invalid the state cases that have
been bound over will have to be tried
again before a justice. In the civil
cases the costs will have to be refunded.
I expect to present bill of particulars
before another justice and he will refuse
to issue on it Then I will bring man
damus proceedings in the supreme court
to compel him to and the case will be
settled"
This kind of business makes the peo-
pie very weary. For years Topeka has
grOaned under the injustice and rapaci-
ty of the justice courts and there was a
general feeling of relief when they were
abolished and a city court established
in their stead.
1t was expected that the officers who
have fattened off the people would do
all in their power to prevent this re-
form which puts a stop to fee era bling.
An investigation will probably show
that the bill regularly passed.

KANSAS ALWAYS LEADS.
President Mckinley Adopts Frank
Nelson's Suggestions.

Some weeks ago the Journal pub
lished interviews from the state officers
containing suggestions for the proper
reception of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment upon it's return from the Philip
pines. Among those who expressed
themselves on this subject was Frank
Nelson, state superint 9ndent. He sug-
gested that each soldier be given a
medal as a mark of esteem in which
Kansas holds the achievements of her
sons among the Malays
Early last week Adjutant General
Corbin made the same suggestion, ex-
cept that he wished to make it apply
to all United States soldiers now fight
ing the savages. A few days later the
matter came to the notice of President
Mckinley and he endorsed the sugges-
ton.
OF course it is matter of pride with
Kansas in seeking to protect her own
ideas, but no complaint will be made
at the action of Mr.. Corbin and the
president in accepting Mr.. Nelson S
ideas without giving him credit.
