filed on an appeal from said order OF May
the 10th We do not think this cOnten-
ton is tenable. The undertaking refers
to the order appealed from as "the order
of said District Court, denying and over
ruling defendants motion for a new
trial, which said order was made and
entered on the llth day Of May, 1899"
There being but one order made and
entered overruling and denying defend
ants said motion by the District Court,
it is evident that the reference to the date
thereof as the 18th day of May, 1899, in
stead of tho 10th day of said month, was
and is simply clerical mistake aud does
not vitiats the undertaking. We do not
think that the mistake could avail the
the sureties as defense in an action
against them on said undertaking.
Sweeney VS.. Karsky, Pac. Rep,
The third ground given for the motion
to dismiss is. that the undertaking was
executed before the notice Of appeal was
filed. The statute requires that to render
an appeal etlectual for any purpose,
written undertake ing shall be executed on
the part of the appellant by at least Two
sureties That such under
taking shall be filed with the Clerk With
in five days after the notice ..of appeal IS
filed. 1t is true that the undertaking was
executed in one sense before the notice of
appeal was filed, that is, it was prepared
and completed ready for filing before
said notice was filed, and had it been
filed before said notice it would have
been nugatory. But it is not required
that the undertaking shall be thus ex
ecutad within FIVE days after the notice
of appeal is filed. but simply that the fill
ing thereof shall be made within that
time. The execution of the undertaking
was not completed until delivered It's

Senator King Nursing a Long
Cherished Ambition.
REMARKABLE CAREER
Has Served Four Terms In
State Senate.
Not a Man to Work For the
Nomination.
REMARKABLE CAREER

Among the Populist gubernatoria1
possibilities is Senator Louis P. King
of Cowley county. Senator King is the
only man in the Kansas senate who
served one term, four years, as Re
publican, and was reelected for four
years as a PopuIist, at consecutive cleo
tionS.
In 1888, long before he had an ambi-
tion to be a governor. King was elected
to the senate on the Republican ticket.
in the ensuing four years the Farmers
alliance and Populism swept the state
and King came back for a second term
by rousing Populist majority.
He has been member of the senate
since that time, having completed his
fourth term, and is the senior member
Of that body. Since 1892. the time the
Populists controlled the senate Mr..
King has been chairman of the senate
committee of railroads and last year
was especially active in pushing the
bill to reduce Pullman charges. Asked

SCALDED TO DEATH.
Two Women Dead as a Result of q
Drunken Carousal.

Chester, Pa, Jan. 19.-As a result of
a drunken carousal. Mrs. Ida Sible and
Mrs Mary Blizzard were so badly scald-
ed by falling into a vat in the dye
house of the South Chester Manufactur-
ing company last night that they died
today. William Bell, night watchman
at the dyeing establishment and Mich
olas Thomas, who accompanied the wo-
men to the place, were arrested but
were released after the coroner had in
vestigated the affair
Thomas and the two women had been
drinking heavily and during the night
visited the dye house on invitation OF
Thomas.
While romping around the place, it is
said that Mrs. Sible fell into a vat of
bHling water and that Mrs. Blizzard IL
attempting to rescue Mrs. Sible also
fell in.
Both women were gotten out by
Thomas, but the injuries of the women
did not receive medical attention until
considerable time had elapsed.

HUNTING A PEST HOUSE.
Building In Fair Grounds May Be
Selected

If the city board of health approves
of the plan one wing of the exposition
building at the fair grounds will be
used as a pest house for cases of Gu
ban chickenpox."
Councilmen Elliot and Benson with
Mayor Drew and City Engineer Wise
visited the fair grounds this morning.
1t was first intended to use the old din
ing hall or the agricultural building
It was found that the dining hall was so
badly in need of repair that it would be
as expensive to put it in shape for a
pest house as it would be to build a new
building The agricultural building is
occupied by the superintendent of the
grounds. The county commissioners
have agreed to allow the city to use
the exposition buildihs. If the board
of health approves of the plan Mayor
Drew will call the council together to
decide the question of moving the pest
house from East Fourth street to the
fair grounds. If the exposition building
is used it will have to be repaired and
papered inside and out at a cost of
about $500.

one day why the Pullman bill was be-
ing killed despite his efforts Senator
King said on the floor of the senate:
I don't know unless it is because
money and passes are stronger than the
demands of the people
Up to this time Senator King has dis
dained to notice the office of governor
having twice been voted for in the SEN
ate by the Populists for United States
senator. In 1895 when the Republicans
had the lower house and some members
of the senate, a majority on joint ballot,
Senator King received all of the Pop
ulist votes in the legislature for SEN
ator. In 1897 he was close competitor
for the place which finally went to w.
A. Harris.
Mr.. King has a wonderful faculty for
getting CLOSE" to things. He was be-
fore the Abilene convention as a candi-
date for governor and had 120 votes on
the first ballot. But the fight between
IeWelling and Breidenthal was so close
to abandon him in order to land effec-
lively in the rush which nominated
Leedy.
King was back in the senate last year
and at his old place, chairman of the
railroad committee, sitting at the same
relative position in the chamber which
he has occupied for several years. Be
fore going into the senate in 1888 King
served in the house of representatives
in 1885 and 1887.
It is said of King that had he remain
Ell in Doniphan county where he landed
when he was four years old he might
have been in any political position he
desired. He was Republican until ten
years ago, but has lived in southern
Kansas for twenty eight years.
There is one thing which may be said
about Senator King and that is he is a
conscientious Christian. He is a mem
Der of the church of that name and his
life is his conception of the faith. He is
a farmer and a school teacher He can
do a mans work behind a plow or a
professors work in school.
Mr. King was vice president of the
Kansas board of Worlds fair commits
sioners.
During his legislative career Mr.. King
always wore a long black Prince Albert
coat, giving unto him the air of a min
ister King seems to be as sincere in
politics as he is in religion, but he is
slow in making advances to people, a
fact which has given him the name of
being reserved and cold. Among his
friends he is jolly and entertaining. but
he would live many years without ac-
uuaintances were he required to make
the first advances. It is said of King
that the lobbyist with money to spend
never approached his desk.
