The County Wins.

Sometime ago this paper told of a case
brought by L, A. Bigger against the
county treasurer in the supreme court to
compel him TO issue assignment OF tax
sale certificates TO him for certain lands
which were bought by the county at tax
sales. Under the provisions Of the law
the county cannot gain title to such
lands, but the county commissioners
considered that It would be better for
the county to accept the offer OF Messrs
Casner and Bunker for all the land the
county held to be taken in block than
to sell some OF the choicest tracts to
Bigger and to have the poorest stuff
left on hands, all parties paying the iull
taxes, interest and costs. Mr.. Bigger
then went to the supreme court as above
described with an action for mandamus
TO compel the county treasurer to issue
assignments for the lands upon which
he had picked and for which he had
made a tender In his case he also at
tempted to prove the law by which the
commissioners are empowered to have
the county treasurer buy in all the lands
sold for taxes, declared unconstitutional.
But last week the court handed down
its decision and it was "lennst" Mr.,
Bigger, If such an elegant legal term
may be emloYed.

Tho sneoIaI Election.

The election OF successor TO Repre-
sentative Wise passed of so quietly last
Wednesday that nearly everybody Tor
got to vote, The republican majority
last fall in this district was about thous'
and, and OF course there was no hope OF
electing anyone in opposition to the re-
publican nominee, But some of the
people interested on the other side felt
that we should not lie down in front OF
OF the enemy, and should be represented
on the ticket, And thus Mr.. Hopkins
was nominated. But the feeling among
the rank and file of the voters
was that AS there was no hope of cleo
ton and nothing 10 be Accomplishment II
we could win, it was not worth while to
leave work, or take the trouble to go
several miles as they would often have
to do, TO vote, The absurdty oil calling
this election is shown by the fact that in
some precincts the votes cast cost more
than dollar a piece in election ex-
penses, The new re preventative will
scarcely have time to find out what kind
Of body he is member Of before the
final ad jourment. The commissioners
met Friday and canvassed the vote.
The official count showed it to be as fol-

PRACTICALLY all the railroads in this
country according to the Chicago Re-
cord are embraced in five great groups
each respectively dominated by some
one man or family Of capitalists, There
are yet only few outside these five
great groups and they are in process Of
either forming another group or Of be-
ing swallowed by some of these, Won
ders in the process Of consolidation have
been done in the last few months and it
is suggested and it is evident that these
great group will seen begin to COM
bine with each other The Rockefellars
of the Standard Oil Co, are the central
family in one Of the groups. Word was
given out last week that Carnegie, the
steel king had sold out to these peo-
pie for SS6,oooooo. 1t is also said that
the Rockefellars have secured large
blocks Of stock in the salt trust operat-
ing here. How true this is we do not
know. But all these things show how
rapidly all the great properties are pas
sing into the hands of few families
who have more power than the landed
barons of the dark ages. The moderate
capitalist seems to be as much in the
way Of determination as the small pro-
ptietor But let it go on, we might as
well. 1t will whether or no. We can
have 1t to remember that industrial
power as well as political power is more
in danger when it is absolute than when
it is limited, We are either at the
threshold Of better and brighter times
than the world has ever seen before
when these utilities have been taken
into the possession and keeping of the
people whose labor created them, to be
owned by the people and operated for
the people, or we are entering upon a
period of the darkest and most damning
oppression since the gray dawn of the
first day-when everything is owned by
few, worked by the many for the bene-
fit of few.

SENATOR Smith of Edwards county

SENATOR Smith Of Edwards county
has introduced and secured the com
mittee approval of bill repeating the
law which was enacted by the popu.
lists providing that in contempt cases
the accused may have a jury trial. As
it was before any angry judge could
fine at his pleasure and from his deci-
sion there was no appeal. A law SINH
lar to the one now on the statute books
was enacted about the same time,
largely through the efforts OF Senator
Harris If we remember correctly. Un-
der the old arrangement some Of the
district judges became petty tyrants
that terrorl2ed litigants and the law
y yers at the bar, using their power to
build up one set of men and destroy
another. One of the most flagrant
cases Of this sort was that Judge Van
divert in whose favor Senator Smith
basked and throve. 1t is perhaps moth
ing wonderful that he should wish for
"the good old times"

both county and State have recommended
certain school supplies adopted by the
State, but they do not say that districts

School officers should visit their
schools and notice the condition of the
school apparatus, see whether or not the
floor is dirty, the maps and charts are
poked away under a bench, or not. It
Is your duty to do this, DO you find
the accumulated dirt Of weeks under the
benches and in the conersl If so you
should demand that such a condition
should end at once, Cleanliness should
be insisted upon in the school room as
everywhere else,
The real skill OF a successful teacher
Is no where manifested than in her abil-
ily to utilize every means within her
reach, She uses the charts, the library
etc IN tact all apparatus. She makes
every instrumcntality contribute to the
success Of her school. She does not
roll up the chart and put it under
seat 1t may cast little preparation
on her part, but she is faithful to her
trust, Let us have more such faithful
servants

THE great morality party and the
railroads have been accused at var
ious times Of using about every infu-
ence on earth to accomplish their pur
poses, but the charge of using prayer
paid for at the expense of the State
comes from Lincoln, Neb. where sena-
lorial contest is on with a railroad can
didate in the lead. The chaplain Of the
house prayed the other morning as fol-
lows; Almighty God, we thank thee
that the members Of the Legislature have
the privilege Of returning to their homes
and spending period olrecreation with
their families at no expense TO them
selves, and we earnestly hope, Almighty
Father, that they will not forget TO rem
der unto Caesar the things which right
fully belong to Caesar"

Time To Protest,

The latter part of last week it was an
nounced through the News and the Bee
that there would be rare sport at thepark
on the following Tuesday when there
would be a wolf and rabbit bait within
the confines of the big tight board en-
closure. One Of the notices pictured
the sport in the following language.
"A very live and very active wolff has
been secuyed and will be turned loose
in the park with number of large jack
rabbits, A cash prize will be offered
the owner OF the doff catching the wolf,
and smaller prize will be offered the
dog catching each rabbit The park
fence will be tight, so that the game will
not escape. The chase promises TO be
full Of excitement and large crowd is
expected from the country, An ad-
mission fee of twenty-five cents will be
charged at the gate"
Now it may be sport to some to shut
up wolf or rabt in a tight inclos-
ure where it has no chance for life,
where its swiftness or it prowess in the
fight count for naught where the odds
against it are everything to nothing, but
to one who loves fair play it is as shame
lessly cruel as the Spanish bull fight,
Aye, even more For in them the mata
dores do run some risk. The tormen
tors of the brutes suffer some chance oi
punishment. We do not deny that
rabbits and wolves are pest and a
chase in fair field on their own range
is justifable. But such exhibitions
as this for the filthy lucre it bring is in
violation of the laws for the prevention
of cruelty to animals and should not
be permitted.
When the chase came off about fifty
or sixty dogs were turned loose after the
wolf, He managed to clear the fence
The dogs finally caught him and he was
brought back. Next time they finished
him. At least this is the way it is re-
ported. 1t seems not to have been very
heavily patronized, be it said to the Gre
dit of the community.

Anothar sudden Death,

Another death as sudden as the one
chronicled last week occurred in this
city on Tuesday afternoon, Mrs, W.,
D. Wiu,ers who lives on Second Ave
nue. west had been down town to do
some shopping, feeling as well as usual.
She had been troubled somewhat with
the prevailing malady but had appar-
emily recovered, On the way home she
met a neighbor and talked few NOM
en,s with her, She went into her front
room, sank into chair and called for
help, then sank back died Immediately,
She was expiring when her family
came to her side, The deceased leaves
a husband and three children to whom
her death comes as a terrific sorrow.

the republicans would not only gerry
mander the State into new congressional
districts, but would also do the same as to
the legislative and senatorial districts
A reapportion5mcn bill has been re
ported from the house concerning the
legislative districts, The changes rec
commended for this county would put all

Born Unlucky

Hutchinson has at least one man who
has had more than his share of hard
luck. 1t is ex-policeman Joe Hobson.
1t would be useless to attempt to tell the
story of his misfortunes from the begin
ming, so it is sufficient to say that about
a year ago his home with about all its
contents was burned. Friday of last
week he was at work at the Morton salt
plant mining salt" That is he was
digging it out and carting it away from
the drying room which in fact is work
very much like mining, the piles of
salt are so large and are packed so
hard. All at once and without warning
there came slide" of salt and pinioncd
him down and nearly crushed him. His
left arm was broken and two or three
ribs were fractured. Notwithstanding
his injuries he walked 10 buggy which
took him home But his injuries though
probably not endangering his life are
very painful and will cause him to loose
much time and put him to considerable
expense. Other workmen have at var
ious times been injured in the same
way.

termed After the South Carolina Law
"lnqulsltlon" ISlll Passed.

perance question. Representative
Green, Of CowleN has introduced a

liquor sold and will compel state dis
pensing officers TO purchase the best
liquor in the market, by eliminating
profit Mr. Green expects 1t to be
easier to drive out joints and saloons
Temperance sentiment in the sem
ate is about equally divided and SEN

perance committee, only succeeded in
getting prohibition bills before that

bills: Creating Il state board of medi'
cal registration and examination;

For a Sunday Rally.

There is now an agitation started
among the law and order people TO hold
a big meeting in this city next Sunday
to take action similar to that taken in
Topeka last Sunday in which they "read
the riot act" to the officers and the joint
lists and gave the latter so many hours
to shut up shop and get their stuff out Of
town, The implication was that should
they not do so about 1000 Mrs. Nations
would be turned loose with their little
hatchets, In Topeka it seems to have
been very effectual, at least for the pres
ent time, The meeting is to be held
