along smoothly with its case and the
next witness called was Roland Jones
Bailiff Holman went to the witness
room for the young man and he was
not there. Then Anthony Youngfleisch
was called. He was likewise missing.
The court began to get impatient. 1t
was explained then that the two young
men had not wanted to testify in the
first place and when subpoenaed had
demanded their fees to get out of It:
The fees had been paid and then they
had disappeared. Judge Taylor at once
issued an attachment for both of the
recreants and the sheriff was ordered
to 60 out and bring them in. The Of
fense is a serious one and both boys
are liable for contempt of court. The
case was stopped while the sheriff and
his deputies searched for the lost wit
nesses.

And Permitted the Building to Stand
Just Where IL Was.
CLEVER BIT OF BADINAGE
INDUCED in By the oficiais and Then the
Sheriff Departed--City Solicitor win
File Necessary Pleadings to
Take the Case to
Higher Court.

Just before dinner Tuesday morning
Sheriff Zaiser appeared at the city hall
armed with a writ of execution against
the city for the collection of $1,50O The
writ was issued at the insance of Judge
Thayer, attorney for the Shock Bros,
in the case in which they had secured
judgment for that amount at the last
term Of court because the citizens drank
up the water Of the Nimishil,en creek
and spoiled their water power.
The sheriff presented the writ to
Mayor Robertson and City Solicitor
Smith, both of whom happened to he
present, and made a demand for the
$1,50O. Neither the mayor nor the So
licitor had that amount of loose change
about their persons and they told the
sheriff that they could not pay it today
The writ was of the usual type of ex-
ecution which provides that in case
the defendant does not pay the claim
the property found by the sheriff shall
be attached and sold to satisfy the
judgment. This being true the sheriff
suggested that he supposed he would
have to levy on the city hall and sell
it out to the highest bidder to get the
money. The city officers told him to
take the building along. Mr.. Zaiser had
no place to put it so he decided not to
remove the building but suggested that
they should turn over the keys. The
mayor told him that this was not their
day for turning over keys and pleaded
for more time.
The mayor has just gotten his office
all fixed up and did not want to move
out and then the other city officers OBJ
jected also to being thrust out upon
cold world in the dead of winter.
After considerable good natured bad
image on both sides the city solicitor de-
clared he would file a supersedeas bond
to stop the whole proceeding till he
could get chance in circuit court.
The city solicitor had filed his bill of
ready to go up but had not filed his
bond nor petition in error. He agreed
! to do so, however, and the sheriff de-
cided to let the city have it's city hall a
while longer.
Judge Thayer said he had the writ
of execution issued to compel the city
| to get to work and either pay up or go
up with the case. He said
1--WE want this matter settled. If tho
| city intends to take it to the circuit
court we want them to get their papers
filed and try it at the coming term of
| circuit court, If they do not mean to
take it UP we want the judgment paid.
We took this action to force them to do
| one thing or the other"

TO FIX A PENALTY.
Bill Has Been Drawn Up Cover
ing a Certain Crime And
Its Punishment.
Special to News-Democrat.


Columbus, Feb. 13.-DurIng the past
week Mr.. Griffin received 81 letter and
a petition from reformer in northern
Ohio, asking him to introduce bill
to make emasculation a penalty for
criminal assault. A copy of the pro-
posed bill accompanied the letter and
petition. Such a bill was introduced
in the house two years ago by Repre-
sentative Swingle, Of GAINESVILLE. 1t was
prompted by the "Click" Mitchell out
rage at Urbana and was seriously ad-
vocated by some people, but it was
laughed out of countenance and Mr..
Swingle did not hear the last of it to
the end of the term. Mr. Griffin advised
the petitioner to call public meeting
in the town hall and promised that if
5000 or 1900 should assemble together
and a great outcry should be made for
such a measure he would introduce the
bill. 1t is more than likely the bill will
remain in his desk till the end of the
session and then go into the waste
paper basket.

To Step In and Defeat the Clark
Ward Option Bill.
PRESIDENT MKINLEY IN 1T.
He and Nash Are Importuned to Take a
Hand In the Fight at Columbus
and Redeem the PROMISES
That Were Made.

Columbus, Feb. 13.-The situation in
Ohio from Republican standpoint has
become acute. The Republican politi-
clans believe they see breakers ahead
and a whirlpool forming in the rear.
The Legislature is on their hands. This
explains much of the difficulty, but not
all. The Legislature is just now playing
with fire in the guise of reform bills.
The Russell antitrust bill and the Cox
bill have been veXatious matters, but
nothing like the Clark bill has darken-
ed the door of the G. o. p. for many a
day, The liquor men have become so
Thoroughly aroused that they have de-
manded that the state and national ad-
ministrations take a hand and defeat
this bill. The demand has grown to a
threat. The liquor people say they will
have 10000 votes to deliver this fall and
will hold the Republicans responsible
for the Clark bill and throw their votes
accordingly. All this has caused much
anxiety among the party leaders, and
last night John II, Malloy was called
to Akron to confer with General Dick
on line of action to be pursued by the
administration. 1t Is known that Gov
Nash does not entirely share the views
of some Of his advisers, that the passag'
of the Clark bill will injure the party
Yet the pressure is strong for him to in
terfere and kill the bill, and one Repub
lican senator stated emphatically today
that the governor asked him to Vot'
against the Clark bill and for the Coz
bill

Miriches, L. l., Feb. 13.-The steamer
Gate City, which went ashore last week
in Great South Beach while on a trip
from Savannah to Boston, is in danger
of breaking up. A gale and high sea set
in last night and the stranded ship be-
gan to pound heavily and was thrown
further up on the sand. At 10 o'clock
this morning the steamer was broad
side on the beach pounding heavily.
She will probably be total loss If the
gale continues.
The crew and officers were taken off
of the apparently doomed ship at an
early hour this morning. They came
ashore in Breeches buoy. The trip was
perilous one and time and again the
men on the buoy were submerged by
the high seas. Al hands, however, were
safely landed by the lifesavers.

TEDDY PLAYING
BIG POLITICS
Using Nicaragua Canal Blunder
and Kentucky Episode
TO FURTHER HIS CHANCES.
His Friends Think the South May Revolt
and start Stampede That VIII
Land Him the Nomination
at Philadelphia.

News Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
New York, Feb. Ex-Governor Roose-
velt's Nicaraguan canal statement,
showing that he is at odds with Presi-
dent McKinley's administration, follow
ed as it was in few hours by an en-
phatic avowal that under no circum-
stances would he accept a nomination
for the vice presidency, has set politi-
clans of both parties guessing. They
are wondering if Roosevelt has an eye
on the Republican presidential nomina-
ton in 1900. 1t has all along been un-
derstood that the governor was in train
ing for the nomination in 1904, but that
is long way off and politics is decided
ly uncertain.
His term as governor, if he is re-nom-
mated and reelected, will expire in
1902 and in the interum between that
and the next national Republican con-
vention many things may arise that
would be fatal to his chances. Roose.
welt today is one of the most popular
men in the country, and stampede for
him for the presidency at the Philadel-
phia Republican national convention, IL
is asserted, is not impossible. 1t is
pointed out that the canal question is
not only the one on which Roosevelt
disagTees with President Mckinley.
He was outspoken and positive regard
ing the situation in Kentucky and con-
tended that Taylor ought to be sus-
tained by all Republicans. 1t is known
here that the governor received many
kilograms and letters from Kentucky
and the south, thanking him for his
expressions of good will. The incident,
the politicians say, has not at all hurt
him with the rank and file Of the party.
Roosevelt it is almost certain, win now
be renominated for the governorship
of New York state at the April couven-
ton. Events may make his nomination
for the presidency more than possible.

Frankfort, Feb. 13.-For a while last
night it looked as if war might break
out. The unknown man lurking in the
alley opposite the executive building
fired three shots at the guards. They
aimed 70 kill, and two Of the bullets
barely missed the human targets. The
guards opened fire as their assailants
van through the alley discharging seven
balls, none of which is known to have
taken effect.
Officers in charge complain bitterly
about the occasional firing on the SOL
diers from the outside, as they say they
cannot help the situation, being simply
under orders from their superiors.
Governor Taylor spent last night at
the executive mansion. There is a be-
lief that the troops are being with
drawn from the Capital 20 make way
for popular uprising. The Republican
program, as outlined by Taylor's advis-
ors, and on which Taylor mustered the
courage to reconvene the legislature
here, is to allow the Democrats to oust
Taylor and preserve the minor offices
as nucleus as a political machine, and
10 use as campaign material in the
next gubernatorial election the unseat-
ing of the chief executive by the Dem
Ocrats in the face of the returns.
The temporary political martyrdom of
Taylor will react in favor of the Re-
publican party, they claim, and by vir-
tue of the reaction the Republicans ex-
,pect TO elect not only a governor but
TO enjoy also majority in both leg
islative branches. Once in power, they
will remove the Capital permanently

HIGH SCHOOL FIGHT.
Elk County Continues to Battle Over
the Proposition.

Elk county is getting ready to renew
the fight for a county high school. The
friends of the project fear that the law
passed by the legislature will be repealed,
thus making the erection of their high
school impossible.
An organization has been formed to pre-
vent the repeal of the law and members
of the legislature are receiving the fol-

gagged in a. high school fight. Possibly
you may know something of these con-
tests, since, if our information is correct,
very few county high schools have been
established in the state without fierce OPP

legislature q. law was enacted establishing

seat Examine pages and of the
pamphlet which we herewith inclose you
A fight was organized against the school,
especially in the southern part of the
county, and the two county commission
ers from that part of the county, being in
point a board of trustees for the school.
The supreme court, in an action to COM
law valid in all respects, and granted the
relief. See 81 Kan, page 80. Then the
appointed trustees who were also antag-
onistic to the school and they refused to
select a site or certify a levy to the
commissioners, and proceedings are now
pending before the supreme court to COM
pei acton at the hands q TINS Dqaru-
ever, the trustees have selected a site and
the city OF Howard mas conveyed inc
same to the county.
Howard is located in the center of Elk
county. on the Emporia branch of the
A, T. & S. F.. which intersects the South
ern Kansas at Moline. nine miles south.
The Southern Kansas runs through the
southern part of the county, east and
west. and this road are located five
small towns, of more or less Importance.
From these towns and that part of the
county, you can readily see. comes the
principal part of the opposition to this
school. Naturally a few oppose it from
the standpoint of taxation.
An effort will be made in the coming
legislature to repeal this law, and the peo-
pie of Elk county who are in favor of edu-
cation and of progress along educational
lines, through this committee, desire to
ask that you use your influence in sup
port of this law and that you vote against
its repeal The county needs the school
and is amply able to support it. You will
be convinced of this if you have the time
and inclination to look over the little
pamphlet heretofore referred to, and es-
pecially the last six pages.
Give this school your support, and FIVE
years after it's establishment ten men will
not be found in the county averse to ex-
tending you a vote of thanks.
Trusting that, in the cause of educa-
ton, you will not lose sight of this mat
ter, and the request here made, we beg
