BULLET CAUSED DEATH

With bullet wound in bis left breast,
Israel v. Cornell was found dead in the
parlor of his home No. 207 Jefferson
street, Wilmington, Wednesday morning
about $50 o'clock, by his sister, with
whom he lived. The wound had caused
death, but when it was inflicted is I'M
known. A mysterious feature Of the
case is that the revolver from which the
fatal shot was fired cannot be found. It
is believed that Cornell shot himself, then
hid the revolver, and lay down in the
parlor to die. Coroner's Assistant Chand-
Ter searched for the revolver, but was un-
able to find it. Cornell had arisen early
and dressed himself, and it is supposed
he killed himself about $50 O'Clock.
Where the bullet penetrated his breast,
his clothing was scorched indicating that
he held the revolver close to himself.
He had been in i'll health for sometime
and was addicted to melancholy spells.

a PANAMA CANAL

The Isthmian Canal Commits
sion after carefully considering
the proposition of the French
Canal Company to sell all it's
rights and franchises for $4O,-
600, 900 has reported to the Pres
ident that in its opinion, "the
most practical and feasible route
for an isthmian canal, to be un
der the control, management and
ownership of the United States"
is that known as the Panama
route. This recommendation
does not settle the question but
transfers the decision to Con-
gress. The House Of Represen-
tarives has already passed bill
providing for a Nicaraguan
route, and a large majority of
the Senate has been in favor of
that route. But the changed
conditions have caused the Sena-
tors to halt and examine. The
adoption of the Panama route
would probably cause a certain
amount of delay for legal ques-
tions TO be'settfedd and ttrea ties to
be made. The sentiment appears
to be growing to leave the matter
largely in the hands of the Ex-
ecutive. The plan is to, have
Congress formally authorize the
construction of o canal, and
leave the selection of route to
President Roosevelt. This will
enable him to fully satisfy him
self and the country on all legal
and international questions and
still not delay the project.
For great amount of preliminary
work must be done that can be
started and fitted to either route.
One thing is reasonably certain.
A canal wiz be authorized either
by one or the other route, or by

DEUCE Taxes A TRICK

The Supreme Court has decid-
ed that Mr.. E. r. Cochran, Jr., is
entitled to the Municipal Judges
ship instead of Mr.. P. @. Church
man. Ordinarily four beats two,
but in this case the two, Chancel-
lor Nicholson and Judge Grubb
have decided that they are wiser
than the four, Chief Justice
Lore, Judges Spruance, Penne-
viii and Boyce. Without in any
way meaning to impugn the mo-
tives of the two, it is singular
that they are both representa-
tives of the old regime when
judges were appointed as o re-
ward for political activity. Three
of the four judges are direct re-
suits of the new constitution,
having been chosen by the Gov
ernor after the adoption of the
new constitution. Still the de-
cision of the Supreme Court
points out way by which the
can be placed un-
der the constitution. This can
be done by the Legislature re-
the present law and pass
ing new act requiring the con-
of the Senate to the |
Governors appointment of a
Judge. This can be done by a
special session as well as by the
regular session and would make
the law certain. AS it now
stands there is a great uncer-
5ainty in the public mind.

rHr ArrrnAYIT QUESTION

At last Tuesdays session OF
the Levy Court, the four mem
bers elected by the people out
voted the three members ap-
pointed by the Governor. The
question at issue was resolution
offered by Mr.. Ewart but faith
cred by Mr.. Willis requiring
that all claims exceeding $5
should be accompanied by an
affidavit as to its correctness. 1t
would probably be a wise pre-
caution to take but not necessar-
ily a safe one. The evidence in
the Lynn case shows that men
who would deliberately present a
false claim would not hesitate to
swear to it's correctness if neces-
sary. It is one of the unfortu-
nate things in life, that reform
ers frequently carry their re-
form ideas to an extent thai is
almost visionary, and thus give
the practical politicians a chance
to again "get in" This was
well illustrated by the Strong ad-
ministration of affairs in New
York City. Not every man can
be a reformer and at the same
time practical. This is one of
President Roosevelt's strong
claims on public confidence. He
recognizes that the machine" is
entitled to consideration, but in
sists that the recommendations
shall be of good men and me-
thods.. The majority of the Levy
Court and particularly the three
men appointed by Governor
HUM have a delicate, as we'll as
an important, duty to perform.
It rests with them to bring this |
county out of the mire of loose |
methods to the solid ground of |
honesty in all things. They will |
not be able to do this in one week
or one month, nor by the adop- |
ton of any such drastic meas
ures. It will rather come grad |
ually and as a result of careful
investigation of all claims and a
strict following of the letter Of
the law. A vast Improvement
has already been made and the
people naturally expect more,
but safe rule is to ''make haste
slowly"
One Improvement that can be
made is to pay all bills promptly.
This way of holding up one bill
until all others of the same char
acter is in to compare charges is
not business like. Men who
do work for the county, whether
it be shovelling dirt on a cause
way or publishing advertise
ments should have their claims
promptly audited and allowed. If
the claim is just pay it, if unjust
refuse to pay it. But don't de-
lay matters. It is this method
that is partially responsible for
all :of the county work getting
into the hands of few men, as
not every man can afford to wait G
On the convenience Of the Levy
Court for his money. The busi-
ness people who furnish material
Ind work at honest prices do so
IN a small margin Of profit. :
Those who are required to wait '
AVE to add a percentage to cover

Dispute About a Crowd.

Ed Healy is OF the opinion that thirty
thousand people Witnessed the roping con
test at tse stock yards last week. Thorn
ton Sargent thinks that there were not
more than ten thousand people there.
The size Of a crowd is always theme for
discussion and both Mr. Healy and Mr.
Sargent have adherents. the latter the
most Pat Healy splits the difference
between his brother and Mr.. Sargent and
his guess is twenty thousand. Ed Healy
says that sheep takes up more space
than man and he says he has seen
So,e90 sheep together and they didn't cover
any more ground than the people who
watched the roping contest. In opposition
10 this il is stated that while a sheep COW
ers more ground than man. number Of
men, in an open field. will cover more
Sround than an equal number Of sheep
as they do not crowd up so close to one
another as sheep do. 1t is the hardest
thing imag inable 10 estimate q crowd of
people and people win be differing on the
subject till doomsday. If all the adult
residents Of Sedgwick county including
Wichita. would get together they would
make a whipping big crowd. hut there
would not be 5000 there. 4 regiment of
soldiers make a great crowd, but-the en-
tire United States army before the Span

ing contest ring and yet there would not
be $4,000 people there. Fifteen thousand
