APPEAL STILL HIGHER.
Two Kansas Gases App called to tn
United States Suprsme Court.

The supreme court clerks today COM
pleted the records in two cases which
go to the United States supreme court.
They are the first cases which have
ever come from the court of appeals to
the state supreme court, and then have
been carried to the United States su-
preme court after having been decided
in the state courts.
One of them is suit of Ira Steinberg
against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad for damag eS because his apple
orchard was burned up in a fire that
started on the railroad right of way.
The railroad company appeals the case.
The other case came originally from
Wyandotte county and only small
sum, comparatively, is at stake, but it
is said that a much larger suit depends
upon its decision. 1t is a suit brought
by Otto j. Morash against Newman
Erb, as receiver of the Kansas City,
Wyandotte & Northwestern, for dam
ages for the death of MOrash'S little
daughter, who was killed by train
The case was decided In favor of
Morash in the court Of appeals, and
Judge Horton, as attorney for the rail-
road, filed a motion in the supreme
court for an order to certify the case
up to be reviewed by the supreme court.
The supreme court refused to make the
order, and Judge Horton appealed the
case as a matter of right, claiming that
there were both state and federal con-
stitutional questions involved.
Associate Justice Smith wrote an
opinion stating that it came within the
province of the court to decide whether
or not constitutional questions were in
volved, and after an investigation of the
record in the case the court decided
that there were no such questions in
controversy. 1t is upon this decision
that Judge Horton carries the case to
the United States supreme court.

Even If the Senate Should
Unseat Stuart
1t Might Not Place Falcon on
the Bench.
ERROR ON BOTH SIDES
If Willis Precinct Is Thrown
Out In Falcons Favor,
Mistakes In FairvieW Precinct
Will Give Stuart Advantage.

Although it IS quite probable that the
Fanoon-Stuart investigation may re-
suit in the unseating of Judge Stuart,
it is by no means certain that such an
action would place Judge Falcon on
the bench. Mr. Stuart may be unseated
on the ground that liquors and cigars
were used to secure his election, but
this would simply make a vacancy on
the bench to be filled by appointment of
Governor Stanley, who could reappoint
Judge Stuart if he saw fit to do so.
Before Judge Falcon can gain the
bench it will be necessary for him to
prove that he secured a majority of all
the legal votes cast in his district last
fall. 1t was expected to attain this
object, by proving that the elections in
Troy and Highland Station precincts
were conducted in such a boisterous
manner, with Intoxicating liquors IN
connection with them, as to invalidate
them. 1t was also expected that the en-
tire vote of Willis precinct in Brown
county would be thrown out on the
ground that the numbers were not clip
ped from the ballots before they were
placed in the ballot box. By throwing
out these three precincts Stuart's ma
jOrity would be destroyed and Falcon
would have small majority
But a new and unexpected cOntin-
gency has arisen. 1t has been discover
ed that in Fairview precinct, Brown
bered nor clipped. The same ruling that
would throw out Willis precinct would
also bar Fairview from being counted
Fairview gave Falcon a majority of
IS, and if that is thrown out it will still
leave Stuart a small majority.
The recount of the DoniPhan county
ballots gave Falcon a gain of IS. 1t
was agreed among the attorneys that
ballots which were slightly defective
on account of being marked with pens
or indeIible pensils. should be count
ed Falcon had u such votes which
had been thrown out on the original
count. Stuart also lost one, making a
net gain of 10 for Falcon.
1t was expected to count the Nemaha
county votes this morning, and the SEN
ate met at 8 o'clock for the purpose, but
the county clerk had not yet arrived
with the ballots and a recess was ia
ken to await the arrival of the Rock
Island train on which the ballots were
coming. The senate waited until nearly
II o'clock. when it was announced that
the ballots could not get here in time
TO begin the count this morning, and a
recess was taken till after dinner.

BROWN co. BALLOTS.
Going Through the Senate Counting
Machine This Afternoon.

A. G. Sanborn, county clerk of Mem
aha county, reached the state house this
afternoon with trunk and a valise full
of ballots to be counted. He was placed
on the stand to identify the ballots, and
Mr. Overmyer took occasion to ask him
why he had not appeared before the
senate when he had been first sub
poenaed.
Mr.. Sanborn answered that he did not
intend to come until he was assured
that his expenses would be paid, and as
soon as he received that assurance he
packed up his trunk and came.
At o'clock the senate began to count
the ballots and will put in the afternoon
on them.

STILL DRAGGING.
Judicial Contest May Last All of This
Week.

The Falloon-Stuart investigation may
drag through another weary week. The
case has started off this week with an
other delay because the witnesses are
not here, and it is not likely that a de-
cision will be reached till towards the
close of the week, at any rate.
NJ. A. Householder, president of the
senate. said: After the Nemaha coun-
ty ballots are counted the contestee
states that there will be a number of
witnesses to examine. 1t is not stated
how many, but it will probably take a
day or so. Their testimony will prob
ably have to be rebutted by the other
side, and then will come the arguments
of the attorneys. I think the attorneys
want to get through this week, ano
the senators are determined that it
shall close this week any way. We
are getting tired of staying here"

Breaks Out in the Chicago City
Hall

Chicago, March Differences re-
garding politics, precipitated small
sized riot in the city hall today. AS a
result Charles Biedenweg, a bailiff, is

OBSERVANCE OF HALLOWEEN
Many Merry Makers Seen on the
Street Last Night.

Halloween was quite generally OBJ
served about the city last night. Many
socials and gatherings We're held ana
the thoroughfares of the city We're dot
ted with grotesque looking individuals,
out to enjoy the merry season.
Most of the small street urchins OF
the city were on the avenues, thor
oughly enjoying themselves. The GUS
tomary nuisances of gate lifting. bean
throwing, etc, seemed abandoned, and
instead the small boys We're out, re-
splendent in borrowed glory. Here were
two small negroes, the one with n
huge paper bonnet on his head, the
other attired in a glarng saffron-husd
gown, la the yellow kid. In another
place a whole band Of boys were gath
cred attired in dresses and garments
secretly abstracted from their mothers
or sisters wardrobes.
One young fellow caused much
amusement. by tripping gaily around
the central city. garbed as a young
woman, with a hideous black false fac4
on and light veil over it.
In still another part a crowd Of
young gamins with faces powdered AMI
painted, like clowns, amused and en-
teTtained the bystanders. as likewise
did stubby fellow, made up to rep
resent a knight Of the road. A battered
hat was on his head, the inevitable to-
mato can dangling from his belt, and
his general makeup was clever in the
extreme.
One of the brightest turnouts of the
evening however was a wagon drawn
by a diminutive mule, and containing
a party Of four made up variously as
an Irishman, darkey ana a Weber
and Fields German. A person was with
them also, in the garb Of female. but
whether it was really a member of the
gcntlcr sex. or an embryo female inn
persOnator, was not obvious.
