KNOWS HE Is BAD.
But Roy Daniels Thinks He Has
Been Misrepresented.

Roy Daniels was released last night
upon the payment of his old fine by Ed
TinOn He denies the story that he was
living with the St. Clair woman, or had
any interest in her house.
Il am not trying to justify myself"
said Daniels. I know am bad but
that statement is incorrect. am guilty
of a good many things. but not that.
Ny family knows that I lived at home.
1t is on account Of my family that I
object to getting any more than is com
ing to me They are not to blame for
my actions but have to suffer for them,
and also for the things 1 don't do and
am accused Of Yes. I should have
thought Of them before got into it
but ] can't help it now. AS to that story
about me smashing the woman, it was
greatly exaggerated. She bloodied her
own face by running it into hat
rack"
The St. Clair woman says she is going
back to Kansas City. and the police de-
vOutly hope she will.

A MILLION LOSS.
Cottonwood and Neosho Valley
Farmers in Despair.

Emporia, Kan. June Both the
Neosho and Cottonwood rivers are sub
siding today. The former estimated loss
of million dollars is still adhered to,
and now It is believed it may even go
above this The Neosho has subsidized
enough to clear some fields but all over
the flooded county a sediment was left
that will it is believed, xiii all crops,
including alfalfa.
The Santa Fe today is running trains
over the main lines. The Cottonwood
river, which was at its height last
night. has fallen three feet. The farm
ers along the Cottonwood are in as bad
a state as those on the Neosho. Their
crops are totally lost and many hun
dred cords of wood piled in the timber
have heen carried away.

TOPEKA JUDGMENTS.
City Owes over $4,000 as a Result of
Law Suits.

Topeka owes s3.s43.45 in judgments,
which are drawing 6 per cent interest
It also owes about 1920 in unpaid costs
in liquor cases and other law suits
This is the summary Of the report which
has been prepared by CT : Attorney
Spencer at the request of the city coun-
ell.
Mr.. Spencer today exploded a theory
upon which the council has been acting.
He said:
THE council seems to be of the i'm
preston that it can make special tax
levy to pay off these indebtednesses.
Such is not the case The city must
pay its judgments out of the general
revenue fund. That is supposed to be
one of the purposes Of that fund. The
law provides that when a city reaches
a population of 10000 it can issue bonds
to pay off judgments. Until Topeka
reaches that population, it will have to
continue to pay its judgments out of
the general revenue fund The city has
paid off q good many judgments recent
" and the amount now outstanding is
comparatively not large"
The following is a complete list OF the
judgments, and the accrued interest Is
not figured in arriving at the total:
Mary Noble, $500, personal injuries,
November %, 1898; interest paid to
March g. 1902.
elizabeth Myers. $500, personal dn-
1uries. April 2e, 1898; no interest paid;
D. NJ. Mitchell s145.45. services as
sanitary sergeant, September II. 1898;
interest paid to March g. 1902.
P. A. MulHn, $3.50, personal injuries,
February II, 1900, interest paid to March
s, 1902.
c. X Holiday, 81. 200. viaduct dam
ages. May II, 1900; interest paid to May
3. 1902.
D. NJ Mitchell, s648. services as SAM
tary sergeant, May 8, 1900; interest paid
to May g. 1902
Alice Tucker, $500, personal injuries,
June 26 1901; no interest paid.
None of these judgments are now
held by the original owner. Some are
held by the Bank of Topeka, one by
w B. kirkpatrick, one by W. r. Hazen
and one by a man named Turner. It is
a disputed law point whether the holder
of judgment against the city can levy
on city property for the purpose of col
Letting the judgment. Some think this
can be done. City Attorney Spencer
says:
4 used to think that city property
was exempt, but after looking into the
matter I am not sure about it."

OUTLOOK IMPROVED.
Business Prospects Benefited by
Peace in South Africa

New York, June 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
Peace in South Africa has greatly
improved the outlook. Foreign in
dustrial markets will quickly benefit by
the development of that country. while
a return to active gold mining will have
a helpful influence in monetary circles.
owing to the present exceptional home
consumption producers in this country
may not be able to take advantage Of
the opportunity Immediately. but even
the indirect effects must be beneficial
Domestic conditions still have but the
one drawback of labor disputes, which
have reduced the earning power Of
large force Outside the limits Of this
influence there is little cause for com
plant Orders are large and distribu
ton is less interrupted by the shortage
Of cars Railway earnings for May
show an increase of S. per cent over
last year and ia per cent over 1900
Contrary to expectations, the leading
producers maintained their conservative
position by making no advance In the
price Of steel rails for delivery in 1903,
Notwithstanding the very material rise
that has occurred in pig iron. Much
new business has been placed during
the week although consumers have
found difficulty in booking orders Tor
