DEvINNY LOST OUT.
Railroad not Responsible for Person
al Quarrels.

W. DeVinny, who ran the Democrat
awhile but is now printing little
paper at Barnard, lost case in su-
preme court Saturday. He had
trouble with a Missouri Pacific station
agent at Ames, Kas., year or so ago.
The station agent slapped him. De-
Vinny sued the company for $4,000
damages, claiming that the acts Of
the agent were the acts Of the COM
pany. The district court gave him
$40 damages. The supreme court
Saturday reversed the lower court,
holding that the company was not re-
sponsible for the conduct Of its sta.
tion agent. Had the alteration been
caused over company's business the
court held it might be different, or il
the assault had been made by a con-
ductor. But as it was purely per-
sonal row between DeVinny and the
agent the company was not to blame.

SHIPPED A TRAINLOAD.
Continental Creamery Fills a Large
Order for NAVY,

On Saturday night, July 5, the
first train load OF butter that has ever
left Kansas was shipped to the New
York navy yard from the plant OF the
Continental Creamery company at
Topeka. The train consisted OF
twelve cars and the aggregate net
tonnage was 100000 pounds at an
approximate value Of $4,000. The
butter was all Kansas product, made
from cream gathered from 200 plants
which the Continental Creamery com.
pany has scattered over great part
Of the state, The shipment was to
cover y contract with the United
States government for butter to sup
ply the New York navy yard and was
by far the biggest contract ever filed
by q single creamery. Dickinson
county furnished some Of this butter.
The Union Pacific now runs a refrig-
orator car on the midday plug train
TO carry cream for the company.

JUDGE TAFT'S MISSION.
Considerable DifIiculty Continues to Arise
About Withdrawing the Friars from
the Philippines.

Rome, July s.-A member of the
committee of cardinals which is ex-
aiming the propositions submitted
to the vatican authorities by Judge
Taft, governor of the Philippine is
lands, with regard to religious af-
fairs in the archipelago, has official
ly informed Bishop O'Gorman, Of
Sioux Falls, S. D., who is o member
Of Judge Taft's party, that the COM
mittee expects to be able to reply to
Judge Taft's propositions submitted
July 8 by next Thursday night. The
note to be given by the vatican to
Judge Taft, as did Judge Taft's note
to the vatican, contains sort of con-
tract, with clauses Of agreement to
be signed by both parties.
Great difficulty continues to arise
as a result of Judge Taft's request
that the friars in the Philippines be
withdrawn, the cardinals especially
insisting that the friars of other than
Spanish nationality, although they
may belong to the four religious or
ders, remain, as well as sufficient
number of Spanish friars to teach the
Spanish language in the universities
in the island.

ENIL GR0SSBR FOR REPRESENTATIVE AFTER THE TRUSTS

they are designed. But the most es'
sential qualification Of a member OF a
legislature is ability to get such laws
as be desires enacted into law by the
legislature. A member may have a
measure that is ever so meritorious,
and yet if be does not know how to
get it considered by the legislature,
he will probably introduce it, and have
it referred to a committee in whose
hands it will remain until the
legislature adjourns.
The members OF the Kansas legisla.
ture who do things, who shape and
control legislation, are generally men
Of large experience in legislative
bodies-men who have been members
OF the house or senate continually or
periodically Tor years, and who
through experience have become
thoroughly acquainted with all of the
methods by which legislation is ac'
complished and laws are made, And
it is also true that there are few
men in every Legislature who shape
and control about all that is done by
such legislature.
Emil Grosser, representative from
Dickinson county, is that kind Of a
man. He is recognized as q leader
and representative who shapes
things. He is the kind Of represen.
tative Dickinson county needs in the
house.

CONSOLIDATE G. A. r. POSTS.
Proposition Under Consideration to
Have County Posts.

"a proposition is under considers
ton for the wholesale consolidation OF
G. A. R. posts in Kansas" says the
Kansas City Journal. During the
past five years the order has made no
increase in Kansas. Only by the
most untiring efforts on the part OF
its officials has it held its own.
From now on it will oe impossible to
hold up the membership. The old
soldiers are dying of or getting too
old to take interest in the lodge work.
The easiest way to decrease the ex.
pense Is to cut down the number OF
posts and increase the membership Of
the remaining. So a proposition to
consolidate all posts in each county
and make one large county post is be-
ing considered. This would give
Kansas lO6 posts instead Of more than
$780,"

GETS ANOTHER TRIAL,
McDermott Case Reversed by the

The supreme court on Saturday re-
versed the case Of John McDermott

it back for a new trial. McDermott
sued the receiver for share OF the

ground that be was not properly a
creditor Of the bank, but that his rela.

Mr.. Kirby was not responsible for
any losses. The district court de-
cided for the receiver and the heirs oil
McDermott, who has died since the
litigation was begun, carried it to the
supreme court. 1t will now have an
other trial.
The final settlement OF the banks
affairs is delayed by this suit and an

A COUNCIL OF WAR.
