He came to Kansas June 2, 1867, and
located at Atchison. He had been ad-
mitted to the bar in Ohio before coming
here and had practfced some at the town
of Mechanicsburg. He opened law
office upon mis- arrival in Atchison, and
was soon elected a justice Of the peace,
and served as city attorney from 1873
to 1876 In 1880 he was nominated for
judge Of the Second judicial district by
the Republicans and was elected. Four
years later he was renominated by ac-
clamation and elected without opposi-
ton.
It is the common opinion among law
yers and politicians that no other judge
of this district ever gave such universal
satisfaction as David Martin, and as a
lawyer and citizen he was held in the
same high esteem. Two years before
the expiration of his second term he re-
signed to become law partner Of b. p
Waggener and James W. Orr. The firm
was known as Waggener. Martin & Orr
Upon the resignation of Albert H.
Horton as chief justice Of the Kansas
supreme court Governor Morrill, APP
pointed Judge Martin to succeed him.
Horton took Martins place in the Atch-
ison law firm. which became that OF
Waggener, Horton e Orr. Judge Mar
tin became a candidate for the Republi
can nomination for chief justice at the
end of his appOintive term. He was de-
feated in the convention because Of his
famous mortgage decision, holding that
the law of 1898 was valid.
In 1882 Judge Martin was married to
o daughter of William 3. Kipp. one Of
the earliest settlers Of Atchison Mrs.
Martin is still living. No children were
born to them.
During the civil war Judge Martin
was a member of the 129th Ohio in
fantry which was a part OF the ninth
army corps under Gen. Burnside He
served in Kentucky, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, and was at the surrender Of Cum

not waging war against the inhabitants

CHILD LOST.

Early yesterday afternoon a two
years old child of Mr.. and Mrs Krue-
ger, living on the west side, strayed
away from home and became lost. The
little one was left to play in the yard
and duringan unguarded moment of the
mothers watchfnlness the little tot cot
outside of its bounds and wandered
away. When its absence was. first
noticed search was at once instituted,
neighbors joining in, and as the search
continued, the party kept increasing in
numbers until 500 people were engaged
in the work. The anxiety of the par
ents was intense, for it was feared that
the child might have met with some
mishap Git might have strayed to the
river or railroad tracks, and dark
visions fiOated before the eyes of father
and mother. However thorough
search was made and late in the after
noon the little one was found tangled
up in wire fence near the Poor resi-
dence none the worse for its experience.
The child was ut once restored to its
parents who were OverjOyed at its safe
return.

BASE BALL NOTES.

A new difficulty has arisen In the Wis
consin state league by the dropping out
of Stevens Point A meeting was To
have been held Thursday To decide on
plans but scarcely anyone attended.
and the president OF the league was
next morning notified that Stevens
Point could be counted ont OF the game.
While the Stevens Point people would
like to see base ball promoted in that
city the difficulty seems to have been
in securing a manager who would give
his time to the raising OF funds and at
tend to the business of the club during
the season. What will be done about
this vacancy is not yet known. Wheth-
er another city will be substituted or
one club dropped and the league play
the season as a six club league is now
being debated, but the probability is
that another good live town viii be
substituted.
Pitcher Mahaffery arrived in the city
last evening and will at once commence
practice with local talent.
Secretary Underwood is receiving
letters daily from players of reputation
who desire to play here. He is in cor
respondence with good catcher who
may be secured but as yet the make up
of the team is not definitely known.
Great interest is shown in anticipa-
ton of the opening game with the Daily
News team of Milwaukee in this city
on May 10Th, and it is evident that this
interest will not lag as the season pro-
presses.

No Tax Reform.

Every bill recommended by the tax
commission for increased taxes has
been killed by our republican legisla-
ture. The republicans of Wisconsin
are now afraid of nothing. With a
hundred thousand majority, which in
cludes large number of former demo-
Gratis who are as heartily in sympathy
with the trusts and corporations. as the
republicans are, the republican party
in this state sees in perspective a never
ending lease of power, the tenure of
which does not in the least depend upon
attention to the interests of the COM
mon people. Well, democrats have the
consolation that they have not brought
this condition upon the people of the
state; that they tried to avert it; and
that it does not hurt democrats any
worse than it hurts republicans. 1t
hurts all alike. If the large cOrpor
atiOns get off without paying a just
proportion of the taxes, every republi
can in the state who has property and
does not hold stock in the favored cor
pOratiOns must contribute his share of
the unjust burden laid upon the rest of
the people. 1t is well. 1t goes far to
console us;-the knowledge that every
business man in the state who through
ignorance of partisanship has helped to
give us an unjust state government
must have a pain in his pocketbook as

1t was moved to Scott street sometime

The BOer War.

A farcical piece of news arrived yes
terday from Capetown. 1t tells of an
encounter between 400 Beers and %
British soldiers. There was an eight
hours fight, during which the British
soldiers killed and wounded ever so
many Beers. The ammunition of the
red coats finally gave out and they had
to surrender The Beers Immediately
let them 90 free after disarming them
Not one of the British was hurt in the
fight. This is the sort of taffy the Eng
fish are being fed with to sweeten the
bitter pill of an $500, 900, 600 war bill and
n death list of over 10000 And still
anyone who will take the trouble to
look at the map will see that there is
more than twO-thirdS of the Transvaal
upon which no red coat has so far set
his foot, except as prisoner of war. 1t
is easily conceivable why the Beers set
their British prisoners at large after
disarming them. The British will make
no exchange of prisoners is one reason.
Another is that it is expensive to keep
prisoners. And another, and the most
important is that it would do no good
to keep them, rs their places would be
supplied by new levies. The money
expense of the war is the only thing
that can make John Bull stop. The
loss of human life has no effect what
ever And since the occupation of Pre-
toria the British have made not the
least progress. On the contrary they
have lost ground. The probable truth
about the affair above referred to is
that squad of British soldiers were
met by squad OF Beers, and Surren-
dered without shot. The whole his
tory of the war is proof that whenever
there has been fighting the Beers, be-
ing vastly superior as fighters and as
marksmen, have invariably inflicted
much greater loss than they have Suf-
fered Hence il would be impossible
TO get anyone outside of England to be-
lieve this story of an eight hours fight,
not an EngliShman hit and terrible loss
inflicted on the Beers. That was sim
ply the story concocted by the red coats
to account for getting back to camp
without their horses and unarmed

In order to complicate the Chinese
question still more, and render a settle
ment of it without partition of the en-
pire less feasible the Germans marched
north as far as the great wall to fight
Chinese army reported to be camped
there. The Germans attacked the
Chinese, but it does not seem that the
latter staid long enough to make ii
much of fight. They retreated across
the wall. A French column accom-
panied the Germans but as it took nc
part in the fighting it probably went
along for the purpose of watching the

THERE is a fair prospect that the
capture of Aguinaldo will result in the
early close of what otherwise might
have been an interminable war. The
Philippine chief has been, as it were,
out of the world for the last eighteen
months. His capture has brought him
back where he can see things as they
are. He can see that the conflict is a
hopeless one for his people, and that
the wise thing to do is to trust the
American people. There is probably a
majority of our people today who do
not approve the action of our govern
ment toward the Philippines. But
neither do we approve the action of our
government in relation to ourselves,
and the fostering of trusts. However
we do not take our guns and 90 to war.
That is the last remedy of ali. Most of
us still are kept from that by the hope
that a government by the people, of the
people, and for the people has not quite
persisted from the earth, rs yet. Per-
hapS the ballot may yet accomplish its
peaceful and benefcient purpose both
for the Philippines and for the Ameri-
cans.
