tisement of the Eureka & Palisade Rail.

An Overloaded Floor wrecked.
Last Saturday afternoon about eighty
tons OF wool belonging to the Ford Live
Stock Company, temporarily stored on
the first floor Of the Smith Ricka rd
building. immediately in the rear Of
Wells. Fargo & Co.'S Office, caused the
floor to crash down into the cellar. The
accident was due to . miscalculation ss
to the weight-bearing capacity Of the
floor. Several years ago . FIRE charrsd .
number Of joists supporting the floor.
and some Of these, which seemed badly
burned, were %supplanted by new ones;
the others appeared to be in sound con-
dition, and probably would have with
stood any ordinary weight. Carpenters
have been at work during the week re.
pairing the damage. It is understood
that the wool will remain where il now
is until sold.

honored him, the assassin killed him
The cruel. murderous anarchist shot
William Mckinley even as his hand was
extended in friendly greeting, but the
bullet wasintended to destroy the life Of
the republic whose protection he had
enjoyed and whose blessings he had
shared. These melancholy reflections
not only heighten the waves Of desola-
ton that sweep over the length and
breadth of our beloved country, but
they impressively remind us Of a duty
too long neglected. This country is the
asylum of liberty, not the asylum OF
license. 1t is the home Of free thought
and free speech, but 1t is not the home
of Infamous conspiracies and cowardly
assassins. 1t welcomes unlimited dis
cussion for the betterment of the gov
eminent, but 1t will not tolerate any
society that has for its object the cub
version of the government. There is no
room under the Stars and Stripes for
the anachist, whatever be his method
of warfare, and he must either change
his mind or his place OF residence.
BY the dead body OF William Nc
Kinley the millions of American citi-
zens have sworn to do justice upon the
men and women and the teachings
which brought him to death, and as
surely as God relgns they will do IT.:
they will do 1t speedily and they will do
1t effectually."

A large number of newspapers make
the mistake of printing the nome Of the
new commander in chief of the G. A. r.
as ELI" Terrence. His first name is
Ell. The writer knew him in boyhood
and has been acquainted with his ca
reer since and bears cheerful testimony
to his entire worthiness of the honor
that has come upon him. He was a
gallant Union soldier and is one of ma
lures noblemen.
REPUBLICAN, AND DEMOCRATIC
[Eagle Grove Eagle.]
Iowa is out of debt as a state and
has $1,500.000 in the state treasury. her
government administered by republic
ans; Missouri has to pay $1,5oo,0o0 as
interest on her state debt. her govern
ment run by democrats.
The republicans OF Iowa welcome a
campaign on state issues or any
other issues the democrats may wish
to raise. The republicans have nothing
to dodge. They are proud Of their
record, both state and national. The
republican party has never got itself
into predicament where to reafiirm
its previous platform meant sure re-
pudiation by the people.

DR.. FISK ELECTED
Popular Preacher Goes to
Washburn College.
Accepts Position of Field Secre-
tary at So, 900 Per Year.

DR.. D. M. Fisk, pastor of the First
Congregational church. has been elected
to the position of field secretary of
Washburn college and has accepted. He
will also occupy the chair of professor
of sociology. He will resign the pas
torate, of the First Congregational
church. The salary of the new position
is 81, 900.
DR.. Fisk has been pastor of the Con-
gregational church for two years. Re-
Gently there has been some dissatisfac-
ton in the church, and there was strong
probability that a fight would have been
made on the reelection of DR.. Fisk to
the pastorate.
During the past year, Dr. Fisk has
been giving a series of lectures of soci-
ology at the college, and has demon
strated that his services as professor of
this subject would be of value to the
college. Under the terms of his en-
ployment by the college, he will work
over the state raising money and solic-
iting students. in addition to his work
as professor.
Before coming to Topeka, DR.. Fisk
was pastor of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional church of St. Louis, Mo. Prior
to that he was in Toledo, Ohio He was
for several years a professor in Hills
dale college.

RUNAWAY BALLOON.
Returns to Land After Trip Far
Out to Sea.

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-The nine oc-
cupants of the car of the balloon which
escaped from this city yesterday after
noon landed safely today. The balloon
was landed near PeScadero, 80 miles
from this city, and but a short distance
from the ocean. The balloon was in the
air nearly two hours. and at one time
was out at sea. but was blown back
over the land Those who made the in
voluntary trip were: A. L. Dodge, I'D
Foster, Jr., Walter Leon, c. P. Vildecoq,
]. F. Leonard, NJ. L. Howarth, John A.
NJ. Swift and Mrs. J. p. Gunsaulus.
When the balloon broke it's bonds it
sailed away in a SoutheaSterly direc-
tion. South of Redwood City it struck
another air current which took it
toward the ocean over the summit of
the coast range
Nineteen miles from La Honda, and
about six miles from Pescadero lies
Beatty ThomSon'S place. Thomson was
up and out when the balloon came
along by Wurrs mill, and the grap-
and raked along bruShy patches of
ground By this time much of the gas
had been let out of the balloon. and
the power was weak. The rope that
had snapped and caused the captive to
become a runaway was sweeping along
the ground when it came within Thom-
sons reach. He grasped it and bore
down with all his weight. This stopped
the flight. Soon the balloon was
brought to the ground, and eight over
joyed passengers and. the aeronaut
alighted and took supper with Thorn
son.
A L. Dodge one of the passengers
describing the trip, said that the balloon
first started toward Oakland. and af-
ter circling about for time, drifted
southwark. and became stationary for a
short period. Then, in response to a
breeze from the eastward it sailed over
the San Mateo hills and stood far out
over the ocean. The hearts of all Of
the occupants of the wicker cage were
filed with fear as the prospect of being
dumped into the ocean stared them in
the fact Twice, according to Dodges
story, the balloon dipped close to the
surface of the water, but rose again
each time to considerable altitude.
Finally breeze from the sea caught
the balloon and carried it back over the
land, and, after dragging the cage
through the tops of a grove of trees,
landed on a side hill six miles from
Pescadero.
1T was a terrible adventure said
Dodge, "and 1 would not undergo the
same adventure again for any consid-
Grafton. Everybody was more or less
shaky, while the lady passenger and
two or three men were SO sick that
they sat in the bottom of the basket
throughout the trip. We were all pretty
glad when we finally landed without
sustaining any injuries except from
fright

QUAYLE AS COMMISSIONER.
One of the Candidates to Be Voted
For Tuesday.

William Quayle, who is a candidate
for county commissioner in the Third
commissioner district, which includes
the Fifth and Sixth wards of the city
of Topeka, Oakland and all the terri
tory south of the Kansas river, is rec
Ognized as one of the most successful
farmers and stock raisers in the county
He has lived in Shawnee county for %
years, and during all that time on his
farm five miles south of Topeka, al
though he has property interests in

Mr.. Quayle was born in Pennsylvania

knows the meaning of push and energy.
for oil south of Topeka. A week ago he
saw his efforts crowned with success
when the last of the necessary $5, ZOO
was raised Work will soon be COM
menced on the well which Mr.. Quayle
thinks may prove that there is oil un-
der Topeka as well as elsewhere in the
state.
While Mr.. Quayle's name appears on
the Democratic ticket, his candidacy is
receiving the support of many men of
all parties who believe that the county
commissioners should be chosen on a
business basis and should be careful
and successful in the management of
their own affairs to be safe guardians
for the interests of the county. Mr.
Quayle has never been candidate be-
fore, and he probably would not be now
had not his friends, who think he would
make good county commissioner,
forced him into the race.

act an offense which the legislature has
not declared to be an offense.
1t was argued on behalf of the re-
SpOndent that it was the intention of
the legislature to make the failure to
obey the subpoena of the assistant at
tOrney general an offense, and that tilis
intent can be inferred from all the leg
islation on this subject. But it is a
universal rule OF construction in penal
statutes that the court must find the
intent of the legislature in the statute
which is under consideration.
In this case it is not a question of the
authority of the assistant attorney gen
eral or that of the county attorney but
the question involved is beyond that.
The legislature may confer authority
upon different officers to perform the
same act and may provide that the
failure or refusal to obey the authority
of only one of them would be criminal
And while the legislature may have au-
thorized both the county attorney and
assistant attorney general to issue
subpoenas, yet it has only made it GRIM
ina1 to disobey the process of the county
attorney.
With these views entertained by the
court, it is unnecessary to decide the
constitutional question raised by the
petitioner
The court holds that the failure to
obey the subpoena of the assistant at
torney general does not constitute an
offense. and the petitioner must be dis
charged
