upon decision of the courts that the sem

Mr.. Leland had considerable trouble in
getting his men to pass the bill after it
had been introduced. He had brought
them to the point where they thought
they were right in resisting the senate
and it was hard for them to let go of the
idea.
There are, two ways of getting the mat
ter before the courts. One is to wait I'M
til attempt is made to get money from
the apprO pria ton, in which event Auditor
Cole will hold up the voucher and compel
a mandamus suit to be brought in the
supreme court similar to that brought on
the special session case But this would
not prevent the senate from trying the
contest before the supreme court could
hand down decision and uncOvering cleo

might better be kept secret. and to obVi-
ate any such calamity this it is prob
able that some of the witnesses SubpOe-
naed by the senate will refuse to appear
before it. They will then be arrested for
contempt and the question will get into
the courts in that way.
The entire scheme has been carefully
planned and will be carefully fought.
1t is not certain that Governor Stanley
will sign the bill a committee consist

companied by Senator Stocks, visited him
last night to consult him in the matter
but he would not say what he would do
and he was just as reticent with the Re-

POTWIN WILL VOTE.
Union With Topeka to Be Submitted
to the People.


At the regular meeting of the Potwin
city council last evening a resolution
was introduced by w. N. Tincher favor
ing the annexation of Potwin to the city
of Topeka. A majority of the council
men were in favor of the passage of the
resolution, and it could have been adopt
ed but as the citizens of Potwin had
never definitely expressed their sent1-
ments on the question, either by petit
ton or issue at any city election, and
the fact that the regular city election
occurs on the first Monday in April, it
was thought the more satisfactory plan
would be to submit the question to
vote of the people, and resolution to
that effect was adopted.
The present Potwin council is COM
posed of Mayor Hughes. and Council
men Allen, Hicks, Tincher, Stoker, and
Myers. The three last named are out
spoken in favor of the consolidation of
the two cities.
After the council meeting a number of
citizens organized and appointed a COM
nittee to call a general caucus for the
nomination of candidates for city Off

The following is taken from the OF

Marshal Smith was accosted yester-
day by a woman giving her name as
Mrs. Jessie Chambers of Topeka. She
said she was looking for her husband
and she knew where he was and asked
the marshal go with her.
THE marshal followed the woman
who went to the Barnhart residence on
South Locust, between Ninth and Tenth
streets. She told the marshal she had
reason to believe her husband was in

woman who denied all knowledge of
Chambers. The marshal made a search
of the house and found Chambers Sc

out and his wife pleaded with him to

and said he was going to remain. The

and he went away with the woman.

CASES OF MENINGITIS.
Cerebro-Spinal Fever Very Prevalent
In Kansas City.

Kansas City, March S.-Of the deaths
reported at the city health department
on Monday three were due to cerebro-
spinal meningitis. This called attention
to the fact that deaths due to this cause
have been growing steadily more num-
erous of late. During December there
were but two deaths from menin gifts
in Kansas City During January there
were nine. February'S records have not
yet been fully tabulated, but the deaths
from meningitis number about as many
as in January. And already this mont h
there have been four.
OF the victims of the dread disease
reported Monday one was a man of 81
years; one was a man of &c: the third
was a little baby girl of a year and a
half. The disease takes all ages.
1t is not generally known, but spinal
meningitis is really a malignant fever.

Meningitis is more apt to appear where
hygienic conditions are bad, but on the
other hand it often breaks out in spite
of the most careful sanitary care

DEFICIENCY BILL SIGNED
State House Employees Will Receive
Back Salary.

Governor Stanley today approved the
deficiency bill in which are appropria-
lions to pay the salaries of clerks and
assistant state officers who suffered a
reduction two years ago. This reduc-
ton in the amount of their salaries
was due to the fact that the legislature
failed to make sufficient appropriations
to pay the usual amount
An effort was made by Senator Jumper
to indulge in economy by cutting the
salaries of clerks and employees not fix
ed by law. The present legislature pays

Of about Is revolutions per minute.
Such an agitator will handle from Il to

three or four hours.
The part OF the process which most
surprised us, and we are of the opinion
that II differed materially from the prac

ness of the solution used. Only II;
pounds of cyanide to a ton of ore gave
the best results and the quantity Of so
luton to the ton varied from ton fol
