Stuart's Witnesses to Impeach
Pool Grinstead
Not Allowed by the Senate to
Do So.
LAWYERS QUARREL.
OVermyer Shakes His Fist at
Waters and Says,
"YOu Are Hired by a Gang of
Political &c0undrnIS

The senate has had considerable trou-
BILE, all during the Falloon-Stuart an
vestigation, in hearing the witnesses.
Most of them refused to talk loud
enough, and every little while some SEN
ator would make a roar" because he
could not hear.
At last the situation was deemed ser
ious enough to demand a debate. Sena-
tor FOrney proposed that somebody
with strong lungs repeat the witnesses
answers after them. Somebody object
ed to this and several other plans were
proposed. One senator said if the wit
nesseS sat higher up they could be
heard. Acting on this suggestion the
senate bootblack's stand was brought
in and placed in the midst of the sena-
tors for the use of the witnesses.
L. n. Reed of Morrill,, stOckman,
was placed on the stand by the contes-
tee to impeach J. Pool Grinstead, who
testified that Mr.. Stuart paid newSpa-
pers for supporting him. Mr.. Overmyer
objected to impeaching a man. Veracity
in town where he once lived when he
had gained a new reputation at his
present residence.
Captain Waters asked for half
hours recess in which to cite authori-
ties contrary to Mr.. OVermyer The
request was granted, and when the SEN
ate reassembled the first argument over
the question of the admissibility of evil
dence occurred and during it Captain
Waters and Mr.. Overmyer engaged in a
tilt. Both had spoken several times,
when Captain Waters made plea for
fair play
You get up here and talk of honor
and ask for Justice said Mr.. Over
myer, shaking his fist in Captain Wa
ters' face. when you are employed on
the side of a gang of political scoundrels
such as never existed in Kansas"
A number of Republican senators had
come in, and there was a disposition to
support the conteStee in some of the
questions raised, but the motion to sus-
tain Mr.. Overmyer's objections finally
carried by vote of 10 to 10. Senators
Lewelling, Farrelly and several other
Populists voted against the motion.
AS the Morrill, witnesses to impeach
Grinstead were not allowed to testify,
neither side had any others present
Ray Aries had been brought to To-
peka by the sergeant-at-arms in the
morning, but he could not be found af-
ter dinner.
Mr.. Ryan, who had come down from
Hiawatha to assist Captain Waters.
asked that Grinstead be again called to
the stand for further SS-eXamination,
but he too, had gone home.
The senate then adjourned until this
morning, to await the arrival Of wit

motion of Senator Reser, but he after
wards told the conversation.
Judge Dreaming said he had invited
Judge Falcon to see his new house and
Falcon had told him that they had
port him, and asked his opinion of such
a move. Dreaming had replied that it
would be poor politics. No mention was
made of money.
On cross-examination Judge Falcon
asked if he did not tell the witness that
other parties were getting up a sub
scription to pay a mortgage of Grin
stead's and they intended to hold the
mortgage, but the witness could not re-
call any such a, conversation.
]. J. Baker, who was county attorney
up to the last election, but who was de-
feated for renomina ton, testified that
Grinstead had told him that Leland
had never promised him any portion Of
the county printing.
]. F. Harpster, cashier of the Wa
thena State bank. testified $500 had been
placed in his bank by different parties
to the credit of Grinstead. DR.. Willis
paid 1920, and Frank Elliott paid $780,
but there was no check of Falcon s.
There was nothing said about its being
for the support of Falcon.
1t was afterwards brought out that
Grinstead had told Harpster that he
could get 5000 from 1.-The other side" for
supporting them and he wanted Harp
ster to go and report the matter to
Stuart and Leland to make them keep
their promises. Grinstead had a mort
gage to be paid off or he would lose his
paper.

nent Pianist.

A splendid audience heard Leopold
Godowsky, the eminent Russian pianist,

peka-
Godowsky is decidedly plain in his APP
pearance. but as soon as he entered
into his first number the music loving
audience realized his capabilities as
pianist His varied programme gave
ample opportunity for a full display of
his remarkable ability, and each num-
Der was enthusiastically received.
AS a pianist Godowsky is probably
only excelled by PaderewsEi- He is won
derfuly artistic and easy in his execu-
ton, and he plays with rare delicacy of
feeling His appearance proved one of
the most thoroughly enjoyable events Of
several seasons.
The programme which delighted the
large audience at the Grand last night

COUNTING BALLOTS.
The Entire Senate Will Not Stay to
Watch the Proceedings.

w. H. Forncrook, county clerk of
Doniphan county. was placed the
stand to identify the ballots of that
county which he had brought with him
to be counted. On cross examination
he admitted that he was subpoenaed
to come to Topeka on the 21st, but re-
fused until Mr.. Stuart guaranteed his
witness fees, and that he had also gone
to Hiawatha to see Mrs. Leslie, county
clerk of Brown county, and in company
with Ex-Governor Morrill, had advised
her not to come to Topeka
The Doniphan county ballots will be
counted this afternoon and the Nemaha
county ballots on Monday.
BY common consent of the attorneys
it was agreed that the entire senate
should not be kept present, but only
enough to count the ballots.

WHEAT-Wheat. after sharp bulge of

day. It was notably case of short SELL

and the country bought generally. A good
indication of this condition is the fact that
the pit has fairly swarmed with traders
all day and houses doing a RECEIVING bust
ness We're especially active. The big hold
ers of wheat sold freely on the advance,
but were buying again on the decline.
World S shipments promise to be light, un

niffcant export business doing, but St.
Louis has taken practically all the red
be shipped there. While it is still early
to even guess at the extent of crop dam
age, the farmer seems to be sufficiently
convinced of damage. judging from the
light offerings. Winter wheat receipts
are extremely light and there are no ac-
still stronger than the futures. We think
the short seller will continue to be the
one to settle and favor buying on the
breaks.
