TWO DRUGGISTS FREE.
Cases of w. Il. Gunther and w.
ii. KuntZ Thrown Out.

Judge Hazen this morning sustained
the demurrers in the case of w. +.
Gunther and w H. Kuntz, charged by
ex-Chief of Police Stah1 with illegally
selling liquor. The sustaining of the
demurrers in each case means that if
Judge Hazen's decision holding the
Hurrel law invalid is sustained by the
supreme court then the cases brought
against the druggists will not be tried
Gunther and Kuntz were arrested by
Stahl and charged with selling liquor
and maintaining nuisance. Thefe
were IA counts against Gunther charg-
ing him with selling liquor contrary to
the laws of Kansas and in allowing
persons to drink the liquor on the prem
ises contrary to the city ordinances, and
one count for keeping and maintaining
a place where liquors were sold. The
Kuntz case was the same.
The motion was made by the attor-
neys to quash the com plants against
both defendants In giving his decision
on the motion Judge Hazen said: In
each of the IA counts against Gunther
it is stated that he is a druggist and
has a permit from the probate judge to
sell liquors for mechanical medicinal
and scientific purposes. Each count Is
a duplicate of the other except as to
the time. F. NJ. Stahl complains that
the sales are made contrary to the
city ordinances. The state law has
nothing to do with it. There is no city
ordinance which makes it unlawful to
drink on the premises. I refer to the
ordinances as they stand under the
rulings of the courts. With these facts
there is little left in the complaint. 1t
is not necessary to decide the last count
now in light of decisions if it turns out
that he is a druggist. The last count
does not charge that he is a druggist.
The motion to quash all counts except
the last is sustained"
If the supreme court finds that the
Hurrel law is invalid then Gunther will
simply have to show that he is a drug
gist and the last count against him will
fall.

NEED NOT BE CHANGED.
Mr.. Long Says State Convention Will
Not Interfere With Memorial Day.

Congressman Chester I. Long does
not agree with Governor Stanley that
the date of the Republican state con-
vention ought to be changed in order
to make sure that it does not interfere
with Memorial day.
Il never knew a state convention to
last longer than two days" said Mr..
Long, and last year it lasted but one
day. The convention comes on Wednes-
day and Memorial day is on Friday, so
the delegates will have ample time to
get back home in plenty of time. L
don't believe it is good policy to change
the date. now that it has been settled
on
Governor Stanley's reason for believ-
ing that the convention may run over
into Memorial day if held on May % is
based upon the fact that there are near
ly twice as many offices to be filled this
year as there haye ever been before,
and there will be a hard fight over the
most of them. If the convention has
lasted two days in any previous year it
is quite probable that it may last three
days this year.

NO ICE TRUST CASE.
City Attorney Refuses to Try 1t,
Claiming Ordinance is Invalid.

The question of what shall be done
with the ice trust case came up in the
district court this morning.
The case brought by the city against
w. L. Dickey charging him with oper-
ating an ice trust is still on the dis
trict court records. Judge HaZen Won
dered what had become of or would be-
come of the case. The court asked City
Attorney Spencer the standing of the
case.
The ordinance under which it was
brought is invalid" said Mr.. Spencer.
Why don't you dismiss the case
then?' queried the court
Il want A. L. Williams, the attorney
for Dickey, to file a motion to quaSh, "
replied the city attorney.
Il don't intend to do that. We per-
fer to fight the case" announced Will
liams. The city is liable to bring an
other case as soon as hot weather
comes, and we want the matter set
tied
The laugh was on Mr.. Spencer. He
believes the city ordinance under which
Dickey was arrested and placed in jail
Tor operating a trust to be invalid, and
he thinks there is good to come in
trying the case as the city would lose it.
Therefore he does not want to try 1t,
but he does not want to dismiss it.
Williams is having the easy time and
no worry

LAURENs CITY SCHOOLS.
Session for 19O2.10O3 will begin Sep.
TENDER 1st..

The object of our public schools Is to
make more intelligent citiZens-for no
other reason Is the use of public money
for educational purposes justifable.
The cooperation of every citizen and
taxpayer Is. therefore, solicited in Sc
curing the attendance OF every boy
and girl in our district during the en-
tire nine months of next session.
Our course Of study compares favOra-
blyI with that of any other graded
school in the State. We do not claim
to be q preparatory school for any col
lege in the State. In using the public
money we feel duty bound to give the
pupils as complete an education as pos
sible In the ten years allotted to our
course-such an education that will
enable them to grapple with the issues
of every day life. We shall ever strive,
however, to inspire in u pupils a de-
sire to continue their education at some
higher institution.
Doubtless it will be of interest to our
friends to learn that during the sum
mer further improvements have been
made on the building. The halls and
rooms have been frightened up with
white wash and paint. New desks have
been ordered for one room. Shades for
the windows will add much to the APP
pearance of every room as we'll as add
comfort TO both pupils and teacher.
Our Mayor. Mr.. G. e. Gray, promises
to have the front yard leveled and
walks laid off before schnoll begins,
Sept. 1. The pupils will all hail this
news with Joy and delight.
Remember the date that school be-
gins and let every boy and girl who ex-
poets to attend during the session start
In on the very first day.
