LOOKS LIKE A FARCE.
Expense Accounts of Candidates Are

Expense Accounts of Candidates Are
Fragmentary and Incomplete.
The election expense farce has ma
terialized to the extent that seventeen
participants in the late county contest
have filed their statement as required by
the law.
In it's literal sense the law is being
disregarded to an extent that is farcical,
hardly one out of the seventeen have
filed statements embodying itenized
accounts of expenses incurred during
the campaign. The committee touch
is one that all candidates have suffered
yet only aboutoone-ha1f the number men
ton it or the amount The filing of GER
tificates is another, possibly the most
common, yet few; have found occasion
to mention it in their list of items.
These are only a. few of the omissions
under the heads of items that are knGZn
to be necessary to an election campaign
yet they serve to show the righteousness
of the entire affair One candidate VEN
lures the assertion that If 1t was not
made mandatory upon the county auditor
to refuse an election certificate until the
ignored entirely.
Of those who filed expense accounts
yesterday Dr. Alexander J. Stone was
credited with the heaviest expenditure,
he naming $1O2 as the total.
D. w. Gray in the. race for county
commissioner, placed in active circulation
$S4. OF this amount the county commit
tee received SIS.
Gates A. Johnson Jr. is the first Of
those who met defeat at the hands of
the nomination conventions to step for
ward and comply with the law. He was
a candidate for county surveyor before
the Republican convention, and parted
with IS in an endeavor to land the prize.
John Beissel, candidate for county COM
missioner, reduced his cash on hand to
the extent of $3.50. "Sundries'' is cred
tied with the greater amount Of this ex-
penditure.
George B. Whitehorne witnessed the
departure of $S1, while George T. Umland
has lived to tell the tale as to how he
spent s77.T5. During the campaign his
money, figuratively, went up in smoke
he bought cigars.
The law provides that expense accounts
must be In not later than thirty days
after the regular election, and in view
of this, next week should see the fling
of the larger part of those outstanding.

very interesting account of Boxer
hold-up was related to a G 0 e repre-
sentative by Miss Rose Palmer, of Scran-
ton, Pa; who passed through the city
yesterday, on her way home from China.
For the past four years she has been
located at Shan ST, China, in the service
of the China Inland mission. AT the out
break of the recent troubles Miss Palmer
and her associates were requested by
Chinese officials to leave Shan 81 in order
to avoid possible unpleasant complIcd-
tons.
The missionaries, however, refused to
attempt a journey unless the officials
would provide them with military es-
cort. To this the authorities finally con-
scented, and the journey was begun, there
being fourteen in the party.
I'VE made the journey in CARTS said
Miss Palmer, land had proceeded unmo-
Tested for about two days, when, one
morning, we were surprised by a party
of Boxers, who bore down upon us in a
very lonesome and deserted locality.
We were rudely ordered from our
wagons, and, with feeling that the end
was near, stood by and watched as our
baggage was ransacked and all articles
of value confiscated. The work of de-
struction had not proceeded far when, at
given signal, Mr.. Dyer, an English
missionary, was seized by the hair and
bandits waved their swords about his
head In very menacing manner. After
considerable pleading and duplication
Mr.. Dyer was released, only to be seized
again in few minutes. This time they
seemed determined to have his life, but,
either from fear, or, possibly, pity, the
victim was again released. The same
proceeding was repeated a third and
fourth time
After awaiting themselves of everything
of value in our baggage, they finally
withdrew, leaving us with our lives and
with thankful hearts.
During the whole proceedings our mill
tary escort stood calmly aside and
watched the pillaging, as though thew
were taking pointers
After this experience we continued our
Journey without any serious interfer-
ence, arriving at Shanghai with a feeling
of much relief"
OUTBREAK WAS PREMATURE.
In speaking of the causes of the Chi
nese outbreak, Miss Palmer asserted with
considerable force that all of the trouble
is directly traceable to the empress
dowager. 80
II am sure" continued Miss Palmer
that the empress organized the BoxAr

permit him to do so would be to permit

Venetian Art was the subject of the
lecture, and most entertainingly was 1t

by the speaker.
Miss Phelan said that Venice had be-

reason that 1t was a Natural home of ar

seen in Venice at almost any time. There

PRICE WHEN DEMAND WAS MADE.
Judge MCGEE Decides an Important
Wheat Case.

Judge d1cUee OeC1ueS an
Wheat Case.
Judge MCGEE yesterday filed a decision
in case that is Of general interest to
grain merchants, elevator men and farm
ers In it he holds a third party re-
sponsible to the owner for grain in
country elevator and shipped by the
proprietor thereof to the third party, on
representation that the shipper owned it,
and he fixes the measure of damage on
the basis of the market price at the time
the zeal owner made demand for his
property.
The title of the case is Lucius P. DolAG
against Robbins & Warner The de-
PENDANTS are grain commission mer-
chants of Minneapolis, and the PLAINTIFF
succeeded to the rights OF persons who
stored about 1900 bushels of wheat In
the elevators operated by E. M. Wal
bridge at Echo and Bellevue, in this
state, between Aug. 9, 1899, and May 10
last.
Prior to the first date given, Walbridge
had been transacting his grain business
through the Van Dusen-Harrington COM
pany, but on that date he opened up
line of credit to the amount of $50 900
with Robbins & Warner, and they adj
vanced him $4,000 to pay up his indebted
ness to the other company, taking as Sc
curity thereof storage receipts of Wal
bridge for grain owned by him In various
elevators throughout the country As
the wheat was shipped in the defend
ants disposed of it without disclosing
the indemnity Of the shipper and honored
the drafts made by Walbr1dge in pay
ment therefor. Part of the grain ship
ped from the elevator at Echo and Belle
vue was the 1000 bushels involved in the
suit, which had simply been stored, and
when the owners made demand upon
Walbridge July l last he would not or
did not respond, SO action was brought to
recover from the purchasers.
The two important questions in the
case are: First-Did it amount to con-
version on the part OF the innocent pur-
chasers 2 Second-Should the measure of
damages be fixed by the price at the
time the wheat was shipped or that at
the time demand was made?
Judge MCGEE holds that it was con-
version, and in support of this view he
cites long line of decisions American
and English, quoting literally there
from, and dissects the one adverse de-
cision-Roach & Co. VS.. Turk & Haw-
kins-on which the defense relied.
The price of wheat being much higher
when demand was made in July last
than 1t was at the time the wheat was
shipped, the plaintiff demanded that the
measure of damage be based on the July
price, while the defendants insisted that

BROKER
DECISION IN A GRAIN CASE
Judge MCGEE Decides Third Party
Is Responsible to Owner for
Grain in Elevator and
Shipped to Him.

Charles e. Brame, the attorney, ap-
peared yesterday morning in the police
court in the case of a colored woman of
unsavory reputation, against William
Weismann, a pawnbroker, doing bust
ness at 224 Washington avenue south.
Brame went to the pawnshop for the
purpose of getting Mr.. Weismann to re-
turn certain articles of value which had
been left there as collateral by the wom-
an. An alteration arose, and Brame, it
is alleged, struck Mr.. Weismann in the
face. The latter thereupon swore out a
warrant for the attorneys arrest, and
the scene in the police court was the re-
suit.
Brame appeared in the Office of the
clerk of the municipal court with his
hand bleeding.
He will have to answer the charge of
assault and battery, but threatens to
bring suit for $4,000 damages against
Weismann in return.
