MARTIN TO CONTEST.
Judicial Fight in Shawnee
County Not Settled.

Judge John Martin has filed a contest
suit with the secretary of the senate
against e. T. Hazen, who was declared
elected judge Of the Shawnee county
district court. The suit was fled late
yesterday afternoon and asks for a re-
count of the votes.
The petition alleges as a basis for the
contest the use of money. whisky. beer
and cigars particularly in the First and
Second wards in the city of Topeka, ana
also pleads negligence on the part Of
election boards in the different precincts
in the county According to the official
returns Judge Hazen received majori-
ty Of 377 over Martin whose name ap-
peared on the ballot three times, being
in the Populist, Democratic and indie
pendent column where it was placed by
petition.
Fraud against the election boards is
not charged, but Mr.. Martin says that
they were unfamiliar with their work
and that they did not do it in correct
manner They were inclined to hurry
and neglected to count the votes for him
on the Independent ticket. He says that
he knows of from 300 to 400 votes that
went wrong because the judges were
not up to their work. The First and
Second wards are the only places where
Judge Martin charges that votes were
corrupted with money and whisky.
HAZEN COURTS INVESTIGATION.
Judge Hazen, in speaking Of the con-
test proceedings brought by Judge
Martin to contest his election as dis
trict judge said "I have not had any
official notice of the contest. All know
is what I have heard. 1 certainly do not
intend to lie down. 1t is somewhat
curious to me that Judge Martin should
select the First and Second wards as
places where liquor was used It is a.
little strange that he should complain Of
the count in the country precincts where
he got the heaviest vote. 1t seems as
be against me- The opposition had the
organization at every voting precinct in
the county and city I don't know what
he can claim. What I heard last night
was my first intimation from Martin or
anyone else that the election was not
properly conducted. It seems to me to
be the old story of q. dying man catching
at straWs. I think it was conceded that
the election was one of the most quiet
and orderly ever held in the county.
There were no disturbances nor Wrang
ling whatever. The only complaint arose
from the fact that the regist-a ton books
were imperfect, and that has nothing to
do with this case. 1 don't understand
why Judge Martin thinks there was a
miscount. have no fear of tlae result"
J. E Larimer, chairman of the Re
publican county central committee, said:
Nothing win come Of this contest. All
know about 1T is what / have heard
The election was held in a straightfor-
ward manner, and there is no chance
for a contest"
A d. Bauer, ex-chairman of the COM
mittee. said: 1T was the cleanest cleo
ton ever held in the county. There is
no chance for a contest ?"

viii You give me some space in your
paper to show the injustice in the med
icaI bill to the osteopathists of Kansas
The, bill looks very fair to anyone out
side Of the medical profession. You will
see by reading the bill that it admits
osteopathists to practice in Kansas, pro-
vided they have at this time or after
January l. 1902 attended a regular
chartered school of osteopathy of not
less than four terms of five months each,
attended four terms Of five months
EACH but did it in two years. The
NJ D. s knew this when the bill was
framed last summer, and that is the
trick they work IN every state: They
know that eight states have given us
laws, and in the last few months the
supreme court Of Kentucky has given US
Z. perpetual injunction against the state
board of health. They know that the
courts of Ohio have always decided
against their boards of health and have
also said that osteopathy IS not the prstc-
tice of medicine They have no right to
try and regulate any practice excepting
their own, that of medicine They give
pOisOns and should be good chemists
before they are NJ. DIS. We ask no
class legislation, but would like a law
that would make an osteopath send his
diploma to a board of two or three reg
ular graduates of a cUllege of osteOp-
athy who will, without any cost to the
state, pass upon the diploma. We

A magnetic healer, magnetic and so
on. I don't believe the legislature will
pass the medical bill as it is because
it is class legislation and defective as
it IS printed. Read one and you can
see. The people Of Kansas always

prove it now. do not think any school
should have the right to say who you

ALARMING RUMORS
Regarding Queen VictOria's
Health Declared GrOundless.

London, Jan. 18.-3:18 Q. m.-Alarming
rumors were circulated today to the
effect that Queen Victoria is seriously
i'll and that her family had been sum-
moned to Osborne. They are ground
less. Inquiries by the Associated Press
at Osborne at 3 o'clock this afternoon
ELECTED a fiat denial Of the reports.
The Prince of Wales is now at Marl-
borough house, where no news has been
not enjoying her usual health
ham this afternoon.
In spite Of the deniaIs from Osborne
and Marlborough house, the rumors
about the queens illness have alarmed
the public and adversely affected the
stock exchange.
According to early Cowes kilograms
the queen was not well yesterday and
had not improved today, but later news
from Cowes says the queen had been
suffering from insomnia but was better
this evening.
Sir Francis Laking, surgeon to her
majesty, has been called into consulta-
ton with Sir James Reid, her majesty's
resident physician.
The Associated Press communicated
with Osborne house at s O'Clock this
evening and the master of the queens
household, Lord Edward William Pei
ham Clinton. replied that he was unable
to discuss the matter further but that
a statement on the subject would ap-
pear in the court circular tomorrow

LAST DAY.
Trial of the MenAccused of KILL
ing Jennie Bosschieter
Is Drawing to a Close at Pater-
son, N. J.
THREE MONTHS AGO
The Tragedy Occurred Which
Shocked the Whole Country.
Great Crowds Gather TO Witness
the Closing Scenes.
THREE MONTHS AGO

Paterson, N. J., Jan. 1S.-It was gen
orally expected today would be the last
of the trial of Walter c. NcAlister, WrE'-
A. Death and Andrew J. Campbell for
the murder of Jennie Bosschieter.
It was just three months ago today
that the girl met the men in Saal's sa-
loon and started for the carriage ride
which ended in her death
Another great crowd gathered outside
the court house this morning but as on
the preceding days OF the trial. only
limited number of persons were admit
ted to the court room The defenae nts
were brought into court shortly before
10 o'clock and took Lneir usual seats
beside their counsel
Former Judge VIM. T. Hoffman began
the closing address for the defense as
soon as Judge Dixon took his seat on
the bench. Mr. Hoffman briefly ex-
pressed his pity for the fate that had
befallen Jennie Bosschieter, sympathy
with her parents, and hoped that the
accused would not be found guilty of
the girls murder. A point which IN Mr..
HoHman's opinion had not been su1fi-
GENTLY emphasized by his associates in
the defense was that a defendant is not
but the state must prove his guilt.
Counsel said:
Whatever view is taken Of the law,
if it can be shown that Jennie Bos-
lenee, then this case failed. There is no
legal proof that she died from chloral
poison, or that an assault was commit
ted. Choral as I understand it is a
drug used almost universally for benef1-
cent purposes as medicine. The state
charges that this defendant '(pointing at
McAllister) put chlOraI into the girls
drink that night. If he had choral,
where did he get it? The state used all
its machinery to find out. If no
chloral was found in the body, she did
not die from it. DR.. Todd said she died
from choral poisoning; so did DIR.
Terriberry. These statements have no
force in. this case. Then there is Dr.
Witthaus Who is he? He is called a
chemical expert, and his business IS that
Of a. teacher and witness in cases like
this. He is not -infaHibIe. and there
have been cases where the jury dis
agreed with him It is a. species of tes-
tinony that is useful, but not a GER
tainty- It is a series Of experiments.
Such a witness is brought here to send
three men to their death"

Implement and Vehicle Dealers Pass
Strong Resolutions.

Kansas city, Mo, Jan. 1S.-A resolu-
tion directed against trusts was ador t.
ed at the annual convention of the
Western Implement Dealers associa-
ton. It reads:
owing to the operation of trusts In
many forms of business, prices being
decreased and our profits cut off. to the
great detrimant Of dealers and consun-
ers alike; and realizing that if the trust
system is allowed te grow it will be only
a short time until it viii reach US, not
only in cur business directly, but by
depriving the agricultural classes Of
their just dues, it is resolved that this
convention condemns such trusts and
their methods and we ask from our rep
resentatfves in congress that they take
such action as will prevent the forna-
tion Of trusts or properly regulate
Them
The resolutions adopted endorse the
resolutions of the National Retail deal
ers against catalogue houses, condemn
the action of manufacturers ard job

PLAN OF WORK.
House Republicans Adopt New Order
of Business

1t was decided to give preference in
this order to election, railroad, reap
portionment, assessment and taxation
legislation, at the joint caucus of the
Republican members of the legislature
last night. This decision was arrived at
in adopting a. resolution offered by Ma
lengthy discussion. The resolution
carried an understanding that appro-
priation bills would take the lead Of
everything else under the rules.
Representative A. G. Mead, of Nit
cheIl, introduced a resolution the first
thing declaring that railroad, election
and taxation matters should be consid-
cred first Senator Stewart thought that
local bills should all be rushed through
at the beginning. McKeever thought no
preference should be given to any meas
ure; that the legislature should grind
away as speedily as possible on all
that railroad, taxation and election mat
ters should be given the road. Cubbison
Of Wyandotte, held another view He
claimed that the appropriation bills
were the most important and moved
that the two ways and means commit
tees be instructed to prepare at once all
appropriation bills so that they could be
gotten out of the way. He thought
these bills could be prepared within ten
days if those committees would work
He called attention to the fact that ap-
preparation bills always drag to the last
half of the session and then crowd other
important measures. Chairman Fran
els, of the house ways and means COM
mittee, said he would push things as
rapidly as possible Senator White
claimed that the railroad bill was the
most important and should be given
precedence. Senator Codding took is
sue with him, asserting that there was
no danger concerning railroad legisla-
ton; that the danger was in pumping
the treasury dry. Morehouse, of Norris
'contended that the election bill was the
most important; that it was the one
which would be fought the most bitterly
and that the fusionists We're already
marshaling their forces and would de-
wise every possible scheme to defeat it.
The Republican rank and file want fu-
sion killed. he said. and that bill should
go first. Geissler, Of Logan, suggested
that the two committees on elections
hold a, joint meeting at once and forrnu-
late an anti-fusion bill and present it
to the Republican caucus The caucus
could then make it a party measure and
rush it through both houses without de-
bate. He also suggested the same plan
in reference to a railroad bill
