NOT RELATED POLITICALLY
Secretary of State Clark is Cousin of
Adlai Stevenson.

The executive council held special
meeting this morning to hear charges
against George Clark, secretary of
state. The principal charge is that Mr..
Clark expected and had fully made up
his mind to vote for his cousin. Adlai
Stevenson, for vice president this fall.
The charge was made in the presence
of the governor, who summoned the
associate officers of the administration,
comprising the council. to make an OFF,
cial inquiry into the matter.
When the members of the council
drew up chairs and sat down solemnly
and the charges were stated, Mr.. Clark
lighted a fresh cigar and looked out of
the window. This performance lasted
several minutes. The governor. Frank
Grimes, Frank Nelson and George Cole
hitched their chairs and seemed to be
nervous over the pending proposition,
Mr. CIarl1's silence and evident inten-
ton of ignoring them. causing the un-
easiness-
Mr.. Stevenson was a candidate for
vice president some years ago." said Mr.
Clark. Il did not support him them.
I have not since changed my views"
Call again. gentlemen said Mr.
Clark, resuning the dictation of a let
ter which had been interrupted.
AS the officers punched in the door.
each trying to be first out of the chilly
atmosphere, Mr.. Clark said:
Mr.. Stevenson is a cousin or a Sec
ond cousin of my father. But we are
not related politically"

NO ACE LIMIT.
Persons Convicted of Murder in
First Degree Not Exempt.
Death Sentence Must Be I'm
posed Irrespective of Age.
CASE WAS APPEALED.
That of a Boy Only 16 Years of
Age.
Must Go to the Penitentiary For
Life.
CASE WAS APPEALED.

The supreme court has held that per
sons convicted of murder in the first
degree, without regard to age, must
suffer the sentence of death, which in
Kansas amounts to Imprisonment for
life
This decision was rendered in muir
der case which was appealed to the su-
preme court from Harper county. It
was known as the Kernstett case, in
which a boy 16 years of age killed his
cousin
In the appeal the attorneys for the
defendant sought to have him escape
with a sentence for one year, contending
that the severest penalty which could
be passed was imprisonment for one
year, owing to the age Of the murderer
who was eligible. it was claimed, only
to the reformatory or Jail sentence
The supreme court of Kansas, fol-
lowing q decision Of the Missouri su-
preme court affirns the judgment Of
the lower court and holds that age has
no significance and is no bar 70 the full
penalty and thereby sends the defend
ant to the penitentiary for life. He was
convicted of murder in the first degree
The Kansas criminal code was taken
from Missouri, so the decision OF the
supreme court follows that of Missouri,
interpreting the same law in the same
manner
This is the first time this question
has been raised in Kansas

LETTER FROM CHINA
Throws Some Light on the Situation
in that Country.

Chicago, July 1O-Chicago Cinnamon
are beginning to receive by letters and
papers the first news from home OF the
trouble now existing in the northern
provinces of their native land.
One or the most intelligent Celestials
in Chicago is in receipt of a letter from
his brother, who is an officer in the Chi
nese navy Although the letter was
written several weeks ago, at the first
outbreak Of the trouble, much that was
written as to what would probably take
place has transpired.
In regard to the contents of the letter
| he said:
That the bloodiest war known in its
history is now brewing in China I have
no doubt The man who is now in charge
OF the military affairs in the region
where the boxers abound is well versed
in the arts of modern warfare Before
this war ends I would not be surprised
If 100000 Cinnamon were killed. How
many foreigners will meet death I can
not conjecture, but the number will be
great. Ever since the Chinese learned a
lesson from Japan they have been train
ing themselves in the arts of warfare.
They have as fine guns as any govern
ment and well trained men behind them
My brother writes me that the great
majority of Chinese in the southern pro-
vinces are against the ruling powers and
the boxers There is a large class in
China called pensioners, who will be
with the government and as they are
we'll trained soldiers they will do terri
BILE execution
II would like to see the trouble settled
without war but if it must come, it will
be good thing for the future of China
The ignorant Chinaman is of the BELIEF
that the missionary is sent there to rob
him of his land and consequently this
war will be for the home. The Chinanan
has seen where Russia, France and Ger
many have taken parts of their country
and the taxes greatly increased under
European rule. He is going to fight for
his home and his life and he will not
fight with knives or swords, as. a great
many people suppose. The Chinaman is
slow to anger but when once aroused
nothing can stop him.
China needs a change, a good religion
to sweep away all those old supersti-
tons I believe the day is not far distant
when the southern part of China at
least will be Christianized."

AFTER TAX DODGERS.
Wyandotte County Making Things
Lively For Them.

The tax war in wyandette county
is assuming increased proportions. the
officials now devoting their energies to

gas company, which with a capital of
$50. 900 and an annual output of $50, 900
has been doing business in Wyandotte
county without the payment of taxes
for twelve years.
The county has retained John H. At
wood, of Izeavenworth, to assist in the
litigation which has been started.
Some of the corporations which were
being closely pursued by the county off,
Gals have made application for an in
junction against the officials, the case

THE SWAMP ROOT FIRE.
The Company Ready For Business
the Following Day.

The fire which destroyed the Immense
Swamp Root medicine plant OF DR.. Kill
mer & Co. July 1, was the most dis
astrous which has ever occurred in
Einghamton. However. the Kilners re
stunned business next morning, though
not at the old stand, which is a heap OF
smouldered ashes. While the firemen
were yet pouring water on the burning
Chenango Street establishment the Kill
mers were arranging to do business
somewhere else.
That this great industry might not
be crippled for a moment, through the
courtesy of other prominent firms and
citizens, the large factory and adjoining
buildings on South street were vacated
for the benefit of the Swamp Root peO-
pie, and possession was taken immed-
lately, and here. by Monday, July 9, this
new, temporary factory was turning out
Swamp Root. the great Kidney Rem
edy, in quantities OF about $4,000 bottles
per day, and in two or three weeks
time the full capacity of more than four
times that amount will be produced.
The immense demand for Swamp Root
will thus in no way be interfered with.
On the old site. with adjoining prop
erty which has just been purchased, viii
be erected Immediately an absolutely
fire-proof siX-story structure, plans for
which have been nearly completed.

BUSES START AGAIN.
St. Louis Strikers Have SO and Will
Buy More.

ST. Louis, July fluctuations for the
fund to buy wagons for the strikers
bus line are again being vigorously
solicited, and bus line headquarters in
the Fullerton building is a busy spot
Before the strike was declared off %
said Treasurer ISaacs, of the executive
board. we had thirty-five wagons in
commission. We have not disposed of
a single one of these and we expect to
largely increase this number as soon
as the subscriptions begin to come in
again.
I'VE have decided to buy wagons very
much like the carettes that were used
so successfully in Chicago. These do
not cost an exaggerated amount, and
they are as comfortable as street car.
They are light, but are large and
airy. They can be closed up in bad
weather just as can a street car, and
very good time can be made in them.
The wagons that we now. have will
continue to run ana we will give the
public as good service as possible, and
we will charge only five cents fare.
Each wagon will bear a sign pronli-
nently displayed to show that it is
owned and operated by the union.''

Three Days of Agony.

Paris, July 10.-The Paris newspapers
give CHASTITY descriptions of the hor-
Idble agonies of a mother and son who
died of rabies. although. after being
bitten, they received the full treatment
at the Pasteur institute.
This is said 10 be the only case in
two years where in the Pasteur serum,

gave no morphine. though the fortunes
lasted three days This is now de-
nounced as criminal cruelty.

SANDWICH WAS A DEAR ONE.
The Railway EatinE-House Morscl Cost Kansas City Man
 $171.50.

Tn the matter of expense this is probably the record sandwich. It was paid for by Edwin R. Kimball, wealthy business man of nansas City, recently, says a Chicago paper.
 Mr. Kimball was in Leavenworth, bound for Omaha, and it was impera- tive that he should reach his destina- ton in the morning. When his train pulled into the station at Leaven- worth he was hungry and he hastened into a lunchroom for sandwich be- fore the train pulled out again. He was still eating when the train rolled out of the depot. By the time he reached the platform the colored lights on tue rear coach seemed to wink at him from distance, as if in mockery of his discontinue. His only way out of the difficulty was to tele- graph ahead to friend on the train to make deposit with the conductor sufficient to cover the expense of a special. An engine and coach were sent down from the Missouri Pacific yards in Atchison and Mir. Kimball was promptly conveyed to Omaha, happy in being able to meet his ap- pointnent despite the fact that the Leavenworth sandwich cost him 3 sum representing one dollar mile for the entire distance, plus the price of his refresh shments, which was $17l.5o.
