A number OF the mines Of the
Steeple Rock Development company
have been jumped since the first Of the
year, on the claim that the assessment
work had not been properly done.
The company claims that all the re.
quirements of the law have been full
alled, and 1t is prepared to give the
jumpers a hot whirl. The claims are
the Imperial, Grow, Gold King, Jun :
DO, Geronimo, Nugget, Great Eastern,
and Mcdonald. The Jumpers are Il.
e. Phillips, e. Phillips, al Bishop,
S lm Mcmillan, Jack EcAllister, Char
ley Wilson, Bob Williams, and John
Clay. Some Of these men have been
in the mine jumping business before,
and caused legitimate owners consid
lerable expense to regain possession of
theiF property. Sam Mcmillan was
working for the company up to the
day before he jumped a claim, and
quit work for the company to do this
jumping. 1t might surprise and dis
gust some Of these men If the grand
Jury should indict them for trespass,
and the court should call on them To
pay the penalty for trespass. 1t would
be a satisfaction to a great many
people to see q few cases OF trespass
properly punished in this county.

had no right to convene nor power to act.
Whether or not the courts will so de-
eide l., of course, am unable to say, but
the Importance Of this question to the
State Is of such magnitude, and the
claims presented to you for allowance
are Of such doubtful validity, that in
my judgment you should not issue any
warrants thereon until 1t is decided by
a court of competent jurisdiction that
you should do So"
OF course this did not please the Popu-
lists and Democrats, but 1t seemed to
please the Republicans even less. The
Topeka Capital felt obliged to defend the
opinion, though not very energetically,
while the Kansas City Journal came out
strongly against it in number of edi-
torials. The politicians who want to get
on the Court of Visitation were madden
than hornets. Republican lawyers, look
ing at the matter from legal point Of
view, were free in adverse criticism. At
torney General GODDARD himself, when an
application for charter was made un-
der the new Bush law, did not hesitate
to call a meeting Of the charter board
and preside at it In accordance with the
provisions Of the law, thus deciding for
his own Office that not "all OF the acts
of that legislature are null and void"
1t is expected that the supreme court
will shortly decide that it is for the gov
ernor to decide whether or not an ex-
traordinary occasion exists in case an
extra session is called, thus declaring
that the warrants for the expenses of
the special SESSION should be paid.

BY Senator Hanna: An act providing
that physicians shall be permitted to

cate by passing an examination before

said to be directed particularly against

GODDARD Thinks
1t Out of Order.
Attorney General Declares "All of the
Acts Of That Legislature Are
Null and Void"
HIS DECISION SURPRISEDTHEM

Attorney General GODDARD has issued
an opinion holding that the extra session
Of the legislature was illegal because
Governor Leedy exceeded his powers, in
asmuch as there was no extraordinary
occasion. His decision was in response
to an inquiry from Auditor Cole as to the
propriety OF issuing warrants to pay for
the special session.
In his letter, Mr.. GODDARD quotes Gov
ernOr Leedy's proclamation and the pro-
vision of the constitution which says
that the governor may on extraordinary
occasions convene the legislature by
proclamation" Then he says
''The people Of the State OF Kansas
have by their constitution provided that
the Legislature can meet only biennially
and on extraordinary occasions, and no
matter how great the need for legisla-
tion, no matter how important the ne
cessity may be to the State of Kansas,
there is no power in existence which can
call into legal extra session the legis-
lative branch Of our government, unless
the occasion be an extraordinary one.
"The governor, having attempted to
act under the provision of the cOnstitu-
tion above referred to, the question as to
whether or not he has acted within or
outside that power is now purely judi
cial one
1T may be claimed that it will be pre-
sumed from the fact that the governor
called the legislature to meet in extra
session that he deemed the occasion an
extraordinary one, and that his judg-
ment upon that question is final and
conclusive. Possibly such view might
be taken of his act if he had not stated
the reasons which led him to call the
legislature together; but having stated
his reasons, it should not be presumed
that the legislature was called for other
or different ones.
''It may be argued that the fact that
the legislature of the State convened in
response to the call Of the governor, is q
legislative recognition and ratification OF
his act in convening the extra session.
Such, however, cannot be the case, for IL
the governor had no power to convene
the legislature in special session, all of
the acts of that Legislature are null and
void. If he had the power, then its ratifi
cation or recognition is not needed to
give it validity.
ITO say that because the governor has
convened the legislature in extra session
is conclusive evidence of the fact that
he believed the occasion to be an extra
ordinary one, is to nullify the limitation
upon the power of the governor con-
tanned in the constitution. 1t must be
presumed, under the rules of cOnstruc-
tion above referred to, that it was in
tended that the language of the consti-
tuition should mean just what it says
clearly and unequivocally, and it is for
the courts to say whether or not the gov
ernor has acted within the meaning of |
that section of the constitution or
he is outside of it,
"In view of the matters and things
above stated, am inclined to believe
that the act Of the governor in calling
the special session Of the legislature in
1898 was invalid, and that this session |

QUEEN WiLHEL1INA'S TEMPER

A noble woman of the Court of Hol-
land. who lived for a long time among
the courtiers OF Wilhelm III, says that
Queen Wilhelmina adores fine clothes.
and relates an anecdote which implies
that she has also a fine temper. She
says that as Wilhemina grew to young
ladyhood the question of her toilets be-
came a burning one for the queen
mother, whose ultra simple tastes were
not i'm harmony with the tastes of her
child. One day (and ii was day not
very long ago. the two royal person
ages. mother and daughter were sitting
on the Veranda of the chateau when
merchant from La Hague arrived with
various stuffs selected from his stores
for the queen to choose from. Among
them there were some brilliantly beau
tiful dress goods. and the young queen
looked with longing eyes upon the SILK
en- dress patterns. which were spread
out TO display the artistic colors. The
queen mother has arranged piece or
heavy alpaca i'm stiff folds over the
back of q chair, and she said calmly:

calmly: 1--WE will take this"
The young queen bounded from her
chair. She pulled open the glass door
which opens from the veranda into the

threshold, she cried:
