SATURDAYS PROCEEDINGS

The trial of Ham Embree was finish
ed Friday afternoon in district
court and the case went to the jury.
A verdict was returned by the jury
finding Embree guilty of assault with
deadly weapon with intent to kill
Henry Franklin. Judgment of the
court was reserved, but as Embree is
not of age it is probable that he will
be given long term at the State Re-
form School.
The next case called was that of
State versus James Townsend. This
was the old scrap Of Townsend and
Jim Trine, being a question of fight
and threaten TO kill arising over a
farm and the possession thereof. The
jury brought in a verdict acquitting
Townsend.
The first liquor case on the docket
resulted in conviction. 1t was a case
brought against Jim Reedy, charging
him with operating a joint in the
building on lot l3, block 20, in Hum
boldt. Rev. l.. S. Jones is the prose
cutting witness and the suit was started
last October. The case was heard to-
day and the jury brought in verdict
finding the defendant guilty on one
count as charged.
Friday afternoon the court worked
on the suit of Bessie Saylor, a twenty
year.old girl from Leroy wko ran a
sewing needle in her hand. She says
she went to DR.. Cox of lola, that he
used his X-ray machine located and
removed the needle, as she supposed.
Later the hand panied her and she
went to Leroy doctor who removed
the needle again. The injury has
never fully recovered. She sued Dr.
Cox for $500 malpractice. The court
room was full of doctors who will be
called upon to testify in the case.
MONDAYS PROCEEDING
The arguments in the suit of Bessie
Saylor against DR.. Cox were finished
Saturday afternoon and the case sent
to the jury. The verdict of the jury
was that DR.. Cox pay damages to the
amount of $55, which covers the two
fees the Saylor girl paid out for the
two operations, and that he pay the
costs in the action.
The next case was that of the Pres
ton Cemetery Association against the
FIT. Scott, lola 81 Western railway.
This suit brings up a new point in
the local If not in State law. 1t is.
the question whether or not railroad
can condemn right-of-way through
land used or set aside for use as a
cemetery. The new road runs along
side the Missouri Pacific tracks which
bound the cemetery on one side and
so it occupies 100 feet of the land of
the cemetery, There are no graves on
the strip thus taken, but it is ceme-
terry land

VOTER, WHERE GOEST TROUy

The uncertainty as to their future
seems to be increasing among leading
Populists instead of diminishing. 1t
is almost case of every fellow for
himself and dell take the hindmost.
This divergence of plan is nowhere
better illustrated than by the manifes-
tos. of Senators Harris and Jerry
Botkih, recognized leaders.
Senator w. A. Harris, Populist,
writes from Washington that he will
certainly attend the state conference
of the Populist party and to the Tope-
ka Advocate he thus outlines his idea
Of the true policy of that conferences:
"In brief, what | believe the right
thing for the coming conference to do,
representing as it will the strongest
Populistic organization by far now
existing, is to declare the purpose of
the Populist party in Kansas to stand
by the Democratic party of today on
the high plane which it now occupies:
that they deserve our support and that
we will help them to maintain this
position as against all who seek to
bring them down to practically the
same position which the Republican
party has already pre-empted, and
which is that of a mere tool of the cor
porate interests.
1.-The convention should resolve, in
order to defeat the hypocritical and
unconstitutional legislation in Kan
sas by the Republican party, that all
our strength should be thrown to-
gether; that it should express this idea
to the Democratic nominating conven-
tion called for May 20 to recognize
this earnest purpose, and to hope that
that convention will prepare a plat
form in line with the platforms of 1896
and 1900, making it as broad and
liberal as possible, recognizing exist
ing conditions. that IL nominate a
ticket thoroughly representive of all
the fusion forces and elements hereto
fore cooperating in the state, and if
that is done, requesting the Populist
nominating convention, which should
be held on the same day to ratify and
indorse such action, and to urge the
solid support of the platform and
ticket so prepared, deciding it to be
inexpedient to nominote any separate
ticket
Jerry Botkin, formerly Congress-
man-at- large, and leading Populist,
in an interview among other things
says:
1.-TWO successive defeats for the
Democratic party under patriotic and
progressive leadership have served to
make eastern and southern and many
western Democrats exceedingly con-
servative. Bryan, great, patriotic,
beloved by great hosts of rank and
file Democrats, as we'll as Populists
and other reformers, will continue q
powerful factor in American politics
as an educator, but the days of his
party leadership are ended for the
present. We might capture the Demo-
cratic organization in Kansas, if we
had no scrup!es about stealing, and
could control it in state matters; but
such acourse would notadd feathers
weight to the influence of the Kansas

given public road.
