NO INTERVENTION.
Interference in Kentucky by U.
8. Is Not Warranted by
the Situation.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE official view
is that the present contest in Kentucky
is purely a state matter and up to this
moment, it has presented no features
that would warrant the Intervention of
the United States government. The ex-
act functions of the United States army
when acting within a state have been
most carefully defined and set out in
general order 26, promulgated July "a,
1894
Under the terms of this order the
government of the United States can of
its own volition, use the federal troops
within a state only when instruction,
domestic violence, unlawful combina-
tons, or cOnSpiracieS in any state so
obstructS or binders the execution of
the laws thereof, and of the United
States as to deprive any portion, or
class of the people of such state, of any
of the rights, privileges, or immuni-
ties, or protection, named in the con-
stitution and secured by the laws for
the protection of such rights, privileges
or immunities and the constituted auth
critics of such state are unable to pro-
tect, or from any cause, fail in, or re-
fuse protection of the people in such
rights
It does not appear to the officials here
that the conditions described in this
statute now exist in Kentucky.
Another case in which the United
States troops might be employed is set
out III section 0ZSl h. D, authorizing
the president to employ troops in case
of an insurrection in any state against
the government thereof, on application
of the legislature of such state, or of
the executive thereof, when the legis-
lature can not be convened"
1t will be noticed in the cases above
cited in which troops may be employed
the president is allowed to exercise his
discretion in meeting the request; it is
not mandatory upon him to accede to 1t.
Were this not the case upon the DreSi-
dent, after all, might be placed response
bility for a decision between the rival
claimants for the gOVernOrShip.
Assuming that the legislature has been
legally adjourned by Governor Taylor and
that it can not be recOnvened before the
date specified in his proclamation. either
of the persons claiming to be governor
dent for troops, and thus oblige him to
decide the issue, he'd he not the reserved
right to decline to meet either request.
A like situation might arise should the
two legislatures be organized, cOnting-
ency which is looked upon as extremely
probable by the officials here.
So it may be stated that the position
of the administration in its decision to
refrain from Intervention in Kentucky
mains mistaken by any of the events of
the past "a hours and in all likelihood the
only happening which could induce the
an assault upon UrrTed States property
and courts, or mails, and Interstate COM
merce, and even in such cases it is pri-
vateiy declared on the highest military
authority that the troops would not be
used to further any interests in the state
or to NEEDLE in its politics, or for any
other purpose than the defense of the
United States interests

EMPoR1A DISCUSSED.
Because She Didn't Ask Carnegie For
$4,000 Instead of $50, 900 For
q College

Emporia, Feb. 1.-At the regular
meeting of the trustees of the College
of Emporia, in session here Wednesday,
a new light was thrown on the Carnegie
library gift to the college.
1t appears that the college in expect
ing an endowment for the library of
$50, 900 was mistaken. Some time back
two plans for the library building were
drawn up and forwarded to Andrew
Carnegie for approval. One was a
building to cost $4,000, the other $4,000.
Mr.. Carnegie accepted the $4,000 plans,
and ordered work started. He stated
however, that the college was mistaken
in the idea that he intended to endoW
the college; that it must get others to
do this. The trustees feei chagrined
over the matter and the way it was
handled. They believe a plan for $4,000
would have been accepted as readily
as $4,000, and that the matter of en-
dowment should have been a settled
fact before it was given out, because
as matters now stand the college has
been placed in false light.

PHONE FOR FARMERS.
Line to Be Built Across Country From
Great Bend to Stafford.

Great Bend, Feb. 1.-The south side
farmers held an informal meeting here
recently and discussed the feasibility
of esta blishing a farmers telephone
line to connect with the system here.
The plan is to run the line from town
south to within three miles of Stafford,
or possibly to that place, using fence
posts trees, barns. etc, to string the
wires on. A large number of farmers
will be given service enabling them to
call physicians, keep posted on market
reports and keep in touch with the
world generally, besides having the adj
vantage of long distance telephone con-
nection. A sufficient number of farm
ers expressed a willingness to
subscribe stock, so that the enterprise
will be undoubtedly carried out A
meeting has been called for next Sat
urday, when a company will be Toned.

a KANsAN IN ENGLAND
Writes of the Depressing Effect o.
English Defeats in Transvaal

Wichita, Feb Nv. ]. L. Millar, a
retired capitalist, who had Leen in Lon
don for year, has written a letter to
his son, Bertram Millar, a Wichita boy
describing the effect of the Boer war
on business in England. Mr. Millar
says no intelligent conception of the
state of things can be formed from
what is printed in English papers. Mr..
AIillar says in part:
This war is killing business of all
kinds and the price of everything is go
ing up Coal is $7.S7 a ton, and if this
war lasts much longer goodness knows
where it will end. Provisions and. all
else are going up to famine prices. Mr..
King, the gunmaker on King street,
Hammersmith, told me today that he
of them are talking the same way"

A NERvY TEACHER.
Young Lady Refuses to Resign When
Discharged by the Board.

Abilene, Feb. Banner City has been
having a peck of trouble over the
school. Last fall Prof. Stegman was
employed as principal of the school and
Stella DeWolf was placed in charge of
the primary department.

ed the two teachers to resign, alleging
that the school was a failure
Mr.. Stegman promptly resigned and
Dan Hornaday was employed to take
his place. Miss Edna Close was en-
ployed to take the place of Miss De-
Wolf, and here is where the trouble be-
gan. She kept on teaching and was
called on by the board and ordered to
quit.
County superintendent Humbargar
investigated the affair and ordered her
to cease, but she still refused. On last
Friday she opened up school with but
two pupils. Now the county superin-
tendent says that unless she does stop
her Certificate will be revoked.

George F'ulmer of West Cherry town
ship, commenced proceedings in the

Leavenworth Christian Scien-
lists Make Trouble
For the School Board Over a
Vaccination Order.
REFUSE TOOBEYORDER
Nine Pupils Will Not Have Arms
Scratched.
Morally Afraid of Possible Re-
suits of Such Work.

Leavenworth, Feb. 1.-The question
of the enforced vaccination of pupils
attending the public schools is still I'M
der discussion and the board of educa-
ton will probably decide next Monday
night what course they will pursue.
Considerable comment has been made
on the stand taken by the Christian
Scientists of the city, but Miss Dolphin
stated yesterday that only nine of the
fifteen unvaccinated children came
from the families of Scientists. She
stated that no final measures had been
taken regarding the barring of the
schools to these children. They have
been allowed to remain in the schools
until after the semi-annual examina
tons, which ends Friday, and have
been notified that the time of grace ex-
pires then.
E. H. Reach. reader for the Chris
tian Scientists, said yesterday: Some
of our members have presented old GER
tihcateS of unexpired vaccination and
so remained in the schools. and others
have felt forced to comply with the
edict. There are different degrees of
acuteness of conscience and some of us
have stronger convictions than others.
1t is a matter of principle.
mo plan Of action has been made
should our children be forced out of
the schools. We feel that we have a
right to stand by our honest convic-
have scruples against vaccination, as
there are many morally and mortally
afraid Of it and its possible results,
which are sometimes fatal
In California there was a state law
passed several years ago demanding
the vaccination of all those connected
in any way with the public schools.
Last spring, during a small smallpox
scare, the question was widely agita-
ted. Many of the leading lawyers pro-
nounced the law unconstitutional, but
it was not tested, as the matter was
droppsd when the scare WAS over.

Hutchinson. Feb. 1.-The jury in the
Turon creamery case tried in the dis
trict court here last week, have been
discharged after reporting that they
could not agree upon a verdict. The
suit was to collect on a note of 81, 500

the company received ne benefits from

authority to borrow the money without
the consent of the stockholders. Short
