Topeka, July Every soon after the LIST
of August there Will be new turn In the
controversy concerning the location Of
the asylum at Parsons. In this proceed
ing Parsons will be the aggressor and a
vigorous contest is assured. The new
litigation will be mandamus proceedings
to compel the state board Of charities
and the state officers to Issue vouchers
in payment for the land which was pur-
chased by the committee appointed to To-
cate the institution. The time fixed by
law for the board Of charities and other
officials to pay for the site expires
August /. In the meantime the board
has been enjoined. yet Parsons processes
no alarm at the proceedings and the at
torneys representing that city are conf
dent that the temporary injunction will
be dissolved. In view Of these facts the
city of Parsons proposes to take steps to
prevent the state auditor from carrying
out his intention to turn down the
vouchers for the land when they are pre-
scented, and the mandamus proceeding
has been selected as the course to be pur-
sued. The papers for the mandamus pro-
ceeding are now being prepared and will
be fled regardless of the injunction pro-
ceeding which comes on for hearing be-

CHARGES AGAINST BARNES
It IL Stated viii be Taken Up Soon
Fight on Outcalt.

Guthrie o. T., July ga dispatch from
Washington says: cit was learned today
that the secretary Of the interior will.
within the next two weeks, take M the
charges which have been filed at the in
terror department against Governor
Barnes of Oklahoma Nothing can be
learned officially at the department con-
corning the matter. but politicians here
who are watching the case believe that
the secretary has been convinced that
Barnes administration has not been con-
Quoted as it should have been conducted
and that he will ltake cognizance of the
charges. Definite action is not expected,
however, until the president returns. The
charges against Barnes have been accen-
tuated. 1t is said. by the appointment by
the governor of William Walker to be ap-
praiser Of school lands in Oklahoma.
Walker was formerly Kiowa and Com
anche Indian agent and his record as
such the secretary was not satisfied with.
His appointment by Barnes has been re-
ported to the interior department. Secre-
tary Jenkins of Oklahoma, Is in Wash
ington to prevent, If possible. the appoint
ment of George A Outcalt as supervisor
of the census there. outcaIt was Endorsed
by Governor Barnes and Delegate Flynn.
Jenkins, it is understood. also attended
this meeting. but would not agree to the
selection of Outcalt. He saw Director
Merriam today and stated that outcalt
was incompetent and asked that he be
turned down. The director stated that
Outcalt had been regularly Endorsed and
that he would in all probability be ap-
pointed. Mr.. Merriam agreed, however,
to notify Barnes and Flynn of the charges
which jenkins had made and sent them
kilograms to this effect this afternoon.
The director says If Barnes and Flynn
will answer the charges satisfa ctorily,

the doctor as eating dinner tn. jokeIs
took down the wad of gum and deposited
in 1t the head Of a parlor match. The
loaded gum was then put back on the
side of the tree and the young people
about the house were secretly notified to
take their position on the porch to watch
the explosion of fireworks. A committee
had been appointed to gather mp the frag-
ments. The porches were crowded with
a silent mob awaiting with suppressed ex-
element and laughter the result OF the
first crunch upon the gum. Either there
was a knockef In the crowd or the fates
favored DR.. Creditor and saved him from
a disaster individually worse than that
which overlook the Maine. Be that as
it may, DR.. Creditor forgot his gum. The
projectors of the joke were paralyzed.
Suppressed laughter had given way to
groans as DR.. Creditor sailed away on his
bicycle with his molars as firmly set and
his lower jaw as intact as they were be-
fore dinner. The gum was left sticking
on the tree in the hope that the doctor
would return and take 1t down after sup
per but he had missed his gum when he
got to the Office and supplied himself
with new chew. The boys had simply
wasted the match.
