SURVEY SET ASIDE.
Judge Hazen Undoes Work of Bung-
ling County Official.

Judge Hazen has set aside survey
that was made in the western part of
the county more than four years ago by
the then county surveyor, B. A. Bailey
The order was made as the result of a
suit brought by William NJ. Bruce
against the county officials, and the
people who were interested in making
the survey.
Mr.. Bruce owned a ten-acre tract
which was affected by the survey and
he claimed the county survey did not
follow the corners that were establish
ed il the early days by the government
surveyors and which had been accepted
as correct for twenty years. The new
survey took off a strip of his land, and
furthermore he was taxed SO as a spe-
cial tax on his ten acres to pay for the
survey.
Mr.. Bruce paid the tax under protest
and afterwards filed a suit to recover
the amount, making the county COM
missioners, county treasurer and other
county officials defendants, and also the
parties who had asked to have the sur
Vey made. He asked to have the sur
Vey set aside and after hearing the evil
dence in the case today Judge Hazen
decided the case in favor of Mr.. Bruce,
and ordered that the costs of the sur
vey be paid by the parties who had
asked for it.

COUNTY PAYS IT'S SHARE.
Contributes $4,000 to Rossville-
Maple Hill Bridge.

The county commissioners today or
dered the payment of the $1,000 which
was Shawnee county's portion of the
expense of building the bridge across
the Kaw between Maple Hill township
in Wabaunsee county and Rossville
township in Shawnee county
The total cost of the bridge was about
SO 600 The county commissioners of
each of the counties contributed $1,000,
and Maple Hill township voted $1,000
for the bridge, but Rossville township
defeated the proposition because the
bridge was to be placed too far west to
suit the Rossville people. Private sub
scriptions were then raised by the peo-
pie on the north side of the river, and
the other $4,000 was made up in this
way. The bridge has been completed
and is now open for travel.

Tho False Prophet.

In the light Of present substantial
prosperity. In the name OF all that Is
reasonable. how can the cleer-headea
citizen tackle to Col. Bryan who Insists
that there Is no abundance In the land.
and that the improved Industrial stun
ton and commercial supremacy. evil
denccd on every hand, are mere delu
sions. He has propnested without full
flllmcnt, and yet men cling to him as
they did to Baal in the days OF old. For
instance. In his own book on The Fins,
Battle" he quotes with assumed np-
prevail his remarks made at Baltimore
on September 10. 1896. when he sa!d
III we win this fight now. reform will
begin Mt once; II we are defeated In this
campaign, there Is nothing before the
people but four years more OF harder
times and greater agitation. and then
the victory will come. Our opponents
say they want to restore confidence, but
the Republican party cannot restore
prosperity in this country as long us
that prosperity Is doled out to us by
foreigners who prof, by our distress"
Later on in the same campaign he de-
llvered himself as follows: The gold
standard means dearer money; dearer
money means cheaper property. cheaper
property means harder times. harder
times means more people out OF work.
more people out OF work means more
people destitute. more people destitute
means more people desperate. more
people desperate means more crime"
Is not the prophet dlscredlted" Then
why should he attract the confidence OF
the people to-day in hnranguing them
about su-caiied imperialism and the
supposed woes of milltarlsm?
