CANNOT GET HONE.
Probate Judge Dolman In Quaran-
tined Territory.

If anybody in Shawnee county wants
to go insane or do anything else re-
quiring the services of the probate judge,
other than securing a marriage license,
he had better postpone action for the
present until the probate judge of Shaw
nee county can be located and it is as
certained whether or not he can get
home.
The friends of Probate Judge Dolman
are somewhat worried about him just
now. He is away from home and they
are afraid he can not get back sThis
fear does not come because they think
the judge may be broke" because they
could easily remedy that. The trouble
is that he is in the Indian Territory and
several places in the Indian Territory
are under a quarantine, and no one is
allowed to come from them into Kansas.
Judge Dolman went down there on a
hunt several days with no thought of a
quarantine, expecting to return about
next Sunday. Just about the time that
he had got away from any telegraph
station on his hunting trip the quaran-
tine was established to keep the small
pox out of Kansas. Mrs. Dolman at
once telegraphed him to come home i'm
mediately, but he evidently did not re-
ceive the message, for he did not reply.

DAN CASEIN No DANGER.
Says Black Death Is Under Control
In Honolulu.

The following is from a letter writ
ten by Dan H. Case, at Honolulu. Jan
uary 5:
Il suppose the papers on the main
land, especially the Frisco papers, are
full of Honolulu bubonic plague. True,
we have it, and that quite bad, but you
must remember that its ravages are
spent almost entirely upon the Asiatic
element. But one white person, a, girl
who lived in the dangerous section Of
the city, went barefooted and bought
some candy of a pa-ke (Chinese) store
keeper at the most dangerous period,
has died of the disease. The city is
now under full quarantine regulations.
No one can pass the lines without a
permit, and only after fumigation.
Wherever victims have dided the build
ings have been destroyed by fire. You
don't need to fear this paper and en-
velop. It's fumigated thoroughly, and
you will not get the black plague"

LINE OF BATTLE.
Disposition of Buffers Army Moving
Toward Ladysmith.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
If General Hildyard's brigade follows
LyttIeton's across at Potgieters there will
be two divisions beyond the Tugela about
six miles apart, but separated by a long
loop of swollen river and confronted by
an enemy strongly intrenched in line
of hills five miles away. The first defen-
siVe line of the Dutch allies, running II
miles from Springfield to Hlawgwana
mountains, has been turned but there has
been concentration of the Boer forces
on the new line westward, and II Is I'M
certain whether General Warren has gone
up the river far enough to flank the in
trenchments and whether both divisions
will not be compelled to attack them in
front in order to break their way through.
The press dispatches received until
late hour served to throw little light upon
this military problem The only direct
reference to it described the Beer posi-
ton as running laterally with the river
and having SpiOnkop for its center. That
mountain lies at least five miles west of
richards drift As the enemy's guns did
not reply to the British artillery fire, the
extent of their defensive position could
not have been accurately known. The
Daily Mail correspondent describes Gen.
Warren as occupying one side OF Spion-
kop.
tratfon is not explained as that is secret
closely guarded by the censorship. Bar
tons and Harris brigadeS are not report
ca IN LIle upper Iugela dlsLrlct, ana nave
probably been left at Chieveley and
Frere Camps, with work in reserve for
them in front. of Colenso, General Butler
has two divisions available for attacking
the enemy's positions beyond the Tugela
and one, of them is fresh from England
with full ranks. Whites garrison being
fifteen miles from the scene of operations
will also be in reserve for cooperation
with Buffers forces.
Mastery combinations which will re-
trieve Buffers reputation, are confidently
expected here, although there is not a
trace of boastfulness, The truth has been
taken to heart that war with a white
race is full of surprises and miscalcuIa-
lions and that the Dutch strategists have
an awkward way of turning up where
thew least eXneCted and he
best laid and most scientific plans There
was most hopeful feeling in the clubs
at midnight that in the course of the next
"a hours the entire aspect of the cam
paign in Natal and South Africa would be
transferred and the demoralized British
ministry be stiffened up so as to meet
parliament in good fighting form.

RICHARDS MAY QUIT.
Indications That He Will Give Way
to Wilder Metcalf

The candidacy Of Gen Wilder S. Met
calf of Lawrence for delegate at large
to the Republican national convention.
announced in the State Journal last
week, threatens to make a change in
the plans of the politicians in the Sec
ond congressional district.
This change is likely to be brought
about by J. H. Richards of Fort Scott
who will retire from the race for dele
gate at large and become a candidate
for delegate from the Second district.
Mr.. Richards was early in the field
for delegate at large but the fact that
Metcalf is a unanimous choice of the
members of the party in that section of
the state; and the further fact that he
is not the representative of any faction,
causes the politicians on all sides of the
various controversies to be for him.
Metcalf is likely to have a walk-away
and his friends say he is now as good as
elected.

Shot a Negro.

Jefferson Dewey, notorious col
ored character of Keytesville. beat his
way from Salisbury to Keytesville
station last Friday, and had a quarrel
with Brakeman Chas. Kimmer after
reaching the station, resulting in the
brakeman rushing into G. L. Sisters
house and coming out with shotgun,
which he discharged at Dewey, while
seated On Mrs. A. D. Taylor's fence,
some 90 or IS yards distant.
Three or four No. a shot took effect
in the back part of the negro's head
and neck, producing but slight
wound.
1t is said that Dewey vowed he
would kill Kimmer, but Kimmer met
his death at Missouri City Tuesday by
falling between two freight cars.
Unless Jeff Dewey mends his ways
it is only question of time as to when
somebody will make corpse of him.
Although young in years he is al
ready noted thief and is about as
toughfa citizen as can be fonnd.

1t touches
the SpOt@

When person gets up in the
morning there is always a longing
for something inwardly. Some men
go out and get an "eye opener"
while others wait for cup of cof-
fee at breakfast. If the coffee hap
pens to be bad, the man starts in
his days work feeling mean toward
everything and everybody. Don't
blame the man for it. Blame the
coffee.
The peculiar goodness of
Blankets Coffee hes IN the fact that
it is pure-just as pure as can be.
1t is roasted by people who know
how to roast it just exactly right.
When a cup or two is taken in the
morning it satisfies and delights,
because 'IT TOUCHES THE SPoT," "
touches that inward longing.
Blanke's coffee is the best in the
world. We have this at our gro
cery at 1-2 pounds for ST..

Killed by the Cars.

Chas. Kimmer, a Wabash brake
man on the local freight between Mo-
berly and Kansas City, met tragic
death at Missouri City Tuesday morn
ing while his train was en- route from
Kansas City to Moberly. In climb
ing from a fat car to a box car, both
of which were wet from rain, KIM
mer's foot slipped and he fell between
the cars, the fiat car and the caboose
passing over his PROSTATE body,
mangling it horribly and producing
almost instant death. Kimmer was a
young man who stood well with his
associates, and his untimely taking off
IS deeply deplored by them and his
wife, to whom he had been married
only two months.
