Kansas City, Mo-. Special. po-
Iitical pot here is boiling over with en-
thusiasm in these latter day. Speakers
Of every known party are exploiting
ths principles of their chosen oandi-
dates and of the party represented,
Roosevelt, Bryan, Debs, and others,
have spoken here to crowded houses,
receiving, each in his turn, the applause
Of the house. This week are highly
gratified to reosive IN our midst Mrs.
Ida Wells. Barnett who is conducting a
series Of meetings in the interest OF the
republican party. These meetings have
been well attended and have received
excellent press notices and comments.
The public schools Of the city have
started of this year with an unusual
amount of energy. The manual train
ing introduced few years ago through
the efforts of the Womsn's League, is
succeeding admirably, while the kind
ergartens established this year through
the agency of the Progress Study club,
constitute another step ahead of which
we are justly proud. Lincoln High
School under the management of Pro
fessor @. II. GTisham is full to overflow
ing and stands greatly IN need of a larg'
sr and more suitable building, and 1t is
hoped that at very early date the
school board Will respond to this ur'
gent need.
The addition of Miss O. Gross recent
Iva teacher in Central High School,
Galveston, Texas, to the faculty Of Our
High School is matter of much con-
graduation, as Miss Gross is a teacher

necessary TO those placed in charge of
our growing boys and girls, and expect
ed in measure at least to train these
young people for the noblest and most
important duties of citizenship.
Miss Anna Il. Jones, fresh from her
European trip, where she added fresh

becoming convention city, and since
the democratic convention no week
has seemed complete without the pies
ence OF some great national gathering
This week 1t is the National American

eral denOminational schools for Afro

MUST..PAY
SPECIAL LICENSE
IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE
LINDSAY REGARDING
LICENSE LAW.
LAW DECIDED TO
BE CONSTITUTIONAL.
Grocers Who Sell Liquors Must Pay
Special License for
Privilege.

Judge Lindsay has rendered decls-
ion in the case of the state against
Thomas F. Courtney. charged with nav
ing sold intoxicating liquors on gro
GERS license at his place OF business III
North Main street. The decision Is
against the defendant. and unless the
supreme court to which an appeal may
be taken, interprets the law relating
thereto differently to the construction
placed upon 1t by Judge Lindsay. he VIII
have to pay into the county treasurer
several hundred dollars back license.
The suit was commenced long time
ago, but for some reason it hung fire un-
til last winter, when the Retail Liquor
Dealers Protective Association rejuve-
mated it and forced it to an issue as
test case While this case was resting
in the balance other grocers in the city
were being arrested from time to time
for the same offense. but rather than go
to the expense and bother of fif1ghttng
the cases through various courts they
all pleaded guilty, paid fines and prom
ised to not sell any more houor wlthoout
a regular liquor incense in addition to
merchandise license. Mr.. Courtney's
case first landed in Justice Nichols court
and at Nne CONCLUSION t1 tiS tSStAhioiiAS
given at the trial the justice found him
guilty. An appeal to the district court
was taken, and last spring the matter
was submitted to Judge Lindsay on
briefs. The contention Of the defen\e
was that the law covering the subject
was conflicting and therefore unconstitu-
tional. but in rendering the decision
Judge Lindsay said the legislature evi-
IDENTIFY intended to require the payment of
a license not only by all persons selling
liquors in quantities of not less than
quart. but by all persons selling liquors
in any quantity and to require the pay
ment of a larger sum for the privilege
of dealing in intoxicating liquors than
for selling other articles of merchandise
usually vended ait stores or other places
of business. Taking the legislative in
tent says the court. "As criterion and
guide in this matter the conflict between
the provisions of sections 406 of the po-
litical code as amended by house bill 162
are so incompatible with the language Of
section 4O64 of the political code relating
/ to the sale of liquors that they cannot
! be reconciled and both allowed to stand.

KEEFE'S SIDE OF IT.
He Denies the Charges Made Recently
by His Wife.

Nettie Keefe appeared before Judge
Lindsay on Saturday afternoon and be-
gan telling the judge why Luke Keefe,
her husband, whom she is suing for a
decree of divorce, should pay her SIS
month while the suit is pending and give
her attorney $500 for prosecuting him.
Before she had finished the story, how
ever. the old clock on the wall hammer
ed out the hour of adjournment, and the
second chapter will therefore not be pre-
sented until o'clock tomorrow
The plaintiff is being represented by
Thompson Campbell and the defendant
by Judge Mediation. In her complaint
Mrs. Keefe made the allegation that one
stormy night her husband had driven
her from home and thus compelled her
to seek the protection of friends, but a
little questioning at Saturdays matinee
brought out the fact that she is still oc-
cupying the same apartments at the
house that she had used before the suit
was commenced. Judge Mediation en-
deavored to show that she was to blame
for the trouble. He asked her if she
had not, since the complaint was filed,
done everything she could to aggravate
Mr.. Keefe and get him to assault her,
but the court sustained an objection to
the question. She was then asked if she
had not gone into her husbands room,
taken seat on the bed and smoked a
cigarette, but she refused to answer.
Keefe has filed an answer to the plain
tiff's complaint. In the document he al
leges that instead of being cruel to her,
as charged, he has treated her properly.
He says further that since May is last
She has gone to balls and dances at Col
umbia Garden with other men and re-
turned home with them late at night. He
told her, he says, she should not con-
duct herself in such a manner,

knows. No fault can be found with the
United States government. The several
civilized governments maintain military
and naval attaches at the capitals of
other powers for the express purpose of
learning all that it is possible to learn.
1t is possible that France will never
make any inquiries Of the government
in the matter. M. ThieIbaut, the charge
d'affairs. is disposed to doubt that infor-
nation of this value has been obtained.
He has not heard from his government
in any way in regard to the matter.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles. president OF the board
Of ordnance and fortifications, makes
light Of the question.
1.-The representatives OF the United
States are continually at work improv-
ing and making scientific research"
1t is understood that First Lieut.. Mott,
7th artillery, military attache in Paris,
had no connection whatever with the
matter. 1t is intimated that the individ-
ual who disclosed the information ITO
General Miles is now in Washington, but
his identity is kept close secret.

TO SHUT OUT THE PR|VATES
ADJT GEN. C0RBN WANTS TO CUT THEM OUT OF CHANCE OF
PROMOTION IN THE ARMY.

New York. Nov. 12.-Adjutant General
Corbin, according to Tribune special
from Washington, has started move
nent to induce congress to remove from
the statute books a law that makes an
unjust discrimination against West
Pointers in the army. 1t is almost in
explainable. says the adjutant. that such
legislation should ever been enacted or
have remained in force for twelve years
as that which favors the promotion OF
enlisted men to commissions above the
young men specially educated at gov
eminent expense to fill commands.
In his current annual report, Gen.
Corbin devoted considerable space to the
act of June s, 1878. which provided for
the promotion to the grade of command
ing officer Of meritorious non-commis-
stoned officers who shall be found NOR

the necessary qualifications the privilege
of competing at prescribed examinations
for commissions.
That the law operated well in attract
ing to the ranks a superior class Of in
telligent young men was demonstrated
by the yearly increasing number who
obtained admission into the command
branch of the army. There were six in
1898 and sixty-eight in 1900. These men
were compelled to serve in the ranks
on two years under the law, and call
ing attention to this fact. Gen. Corbin
says:
Experience has shown that two years
is too brief a period in which enlisted
men can fit themselves for the important
duties of command officers. 1t is of lit
tie less than travesty to say that man
can qualify by serving as an enlisted man
man for two years. It is recommended
that the law be amended to read four
years instead of two. This will put ap-
pointment from the ranks and the Mill
tary academy on the same footing"

PLANS OF FRENCH artillery
THEIR SECRECY OF NO AvAL-U. S. WILL DUPLICATE THEIR
FINE GUNS-DREYFUS CASE RECALLED.

New York, Nov PA special dispatch
from Washington to the Herald says that
it was a decided surprise to the represen-
tatives of the foreign governments at the
capital to learn that an agent of the
United States had obtained such exact
and detailed knowledge Of the plans for
nem French field guns as to enable him
to construct such gun for the Unit ed
States. French field artillery is admit
teddy in advance of that OF any other
government in the world. There have
been important features about the guns
that have been for several years kept Sc
cret from the other powers.
1T was on a charge of having revealed
to Germany some Of the features of an
earlier type of this gun that Capt. Drey-
fus was sentenced to Imprisonment on
Devils Island. 1t was equally surprising
that the war department permitted this
information to become public, but no one
