MAY. FREE MANY CONvIcTS.

Topeka, Oct. 1. An application
wasfiied in the supreme court to-
day for the release of ]. D. Norton
from the penitentiary on a writ OF
habeas corpus. Norton is a broth
er of ex-senator William Norton, of
Cherokee county. He was sent to
the penitentiary two years ago for
a term of fifteen years for killing
the marshal of Galena. He was
tried in the Cherokee.Cr Crawford
court of common pleas. Shortly at
ter his sentence the supreme court
rendered an opinion in another
case holding that the law creating
the common pleas court was uncon-
stutional. The court then went out
of existence. Norton now seeks his
release on writ of habeas corpus,
on the grounds that he was never
legally convicted, as the court
which tried him had no legal exist
euCCs 4uC oLhtC . aSpoAuSyO SteA-
that the court was defacto court,
and that 40 such it had jurisdiction
to try the case. The further claim
is made by the state that Norton is
barred from bringing such action
because he submitted to the juris-
diction of the court in the 6rst
place; that he did not challenge its
Jurisdiction when he wac tried.
Daring the existence of the court
Uncommon pleas, Judge Ed. Sapp
Gent about thirty other prisoners to
the penitentiary. The Norton case
will be made a test case, and If Nor,
ton secures his releas, then the 9TH
ere will have'to be turned out.
Argument was made In the eu.
preme court today on the motion
for a writ, and the court took the
matter under advisement.

Uncle TOMS Cabin never grows
old. There runs through it vein
of pathos peculiarly touching and
sweet. Like the kiss of a child, it
conquers by the very innocence of
it's breath. In the character of Eva
it is unique. Who does not cherish
in memory some sweet angelic
child, who seemed to touch this
earth only as a transient visitor,
which passed away with the dew of
childhood's morning, too good, too
pure for US? Was there ever child
like Eva? Yes, but her name is
written upon gravestones. This
good old play is unique because it
is the only one that portrays that
character. The John F. Stowe Un-
Gle Toms Cabin Company will ap-
pear at Baxter Springs Oct 10.
Prices Is and % cents.
Saturday morning the Frisco
agent received a telegram from
headquarters to not permit any
more system cars to be loaded with
ore at this point says the Galena
Times. This includes care of the
Frisco system, X. C. F. S. & N. and
Current River routes. A prominent
ore buyer says it is an injustice to
Galena. It has been hard for some
time to get enough cars to take
away the output and this order
coming on now will make the trans
portation of ore still harder. 1t lie
serious matter and some pressure
should be brought to bear upon
the Frisco to give us cars to move
our ore. Unless they can get cars
buyers will. be compelled to cease
contracting for ore.
