NEW SERGEANT APPOINTED
Prof. G. c. IsIey Got Highest Grade IN
Competitive Examin alton


At the regular weekly drill of company
A., K. n. c., Thursday night the result
OF the competitive examination for the
position of sergeant of the company, was
made public. Prof. c. c. Isely. president
O; Paramount college, received the highest
grade and was given the appointment.
The local company is making prepare
tons to go on the rife range the first day
oe September, when the target season
opens. Last year this company stood
second in the regiment and this year they
expect to be first place, as the boys have
had great deal more practice with their
guns.
The last of September the company,
with every other company of the Kansas
Guard. as well as part of the Nebraska
and Arkansas Guards, will meet in Fort
Riley and in conjunction with the regu-
lars Tnobolized there, viii have ten days
of the regular field maneuvres of the
United States army. This is the forerun-
ner of many like mobilizat tons and drills.
On the last night of the last congress
the house passed the Dick bill, which
places the National guard Of all the
| states under the management of the war
| department. The men will receive all
/ equipment from the regular army stores
and will be paid by the government, but
will remain under the direct supervision
of the states Owing to the late hour at
which the bill passed the house, it could
not be acted upon by the senate, but ii
viii be taken up early the next session
and passed. The government will make
appropriations for the maintenance of
| the guards and provide for the encamp-
ments. After the passage of the bill the
encampments will no longer be state af-
fairs, but the guards will be modelled
at some fort and will have ten days field
work with the regulars.
In many of the states the guards re-
ceive large appropriations each year and
are maintained at high standard, while
in other states the appropriation is small
and the guards amount to very little and
are poorly equipped. The government viii
give each state enough money to main
| tain a good guard and the state can add
as much more as they see fit and thus
make it that much more efficient, but the
| appropriations from the general govern
ment will be enough to maintain a first
class guard. The men will be equipped
with the same uniforms and guns as the
regulars and each year will have the
same kind of practice.
The target practice this year has beer
held up on account of the inability of the
government to furnish the new Krag
Jorgenson rifles, with which the regu
lars have been equipped. 1t was though
that each company would receive its full
quota OF these lighter and better guns
early in the spring, but the rifles failed
to appear and now it has been announced
that the company can go on the rang,
and shoot with their old Springfield rife
this year after the first of September
and the local company viii begin worl
on Labor Day. when the entire compan,
will go to the California section and shoe
AT a target.

London, April 23.-From one of the

new transatlantic shipping arrange

All shippers, travellers and all per.
sons whose interests, directly or indi-

or travelling will be benefited by the
introduction of business principles into
oceanic transportation. This is the
end, the whole and sole end, contem-
plated. Mr.. Morgan never did, and
does not now, cherish the foolish no
ton of attempting to raise freight
and passenger rates above their
proper economic level. Nobody knows
better that he that such an endeavor
could only result in disaster to those
making it.
"Mr. Morgan wishes to- promote
travel and commerce and not to re-
strict them. Hitherto freight and pas
senger rates have luctuated widely,
to the great loss of ship owners and
the great confusion Of the public on

ISAAC L. BROOKS DEMANDS
TITLE TO REAL ESTATE.
READY WITH THE MONEY
Levi l.. Field and u. e. FrizeIIe Nam.
ed as Parties Holding
Back.

4lOAA quay . O0AAy o0ASNISs
Another suit to compel compliance
with the conditions of a contract for
a deed to real estate has been be-
gun in the district court.
The plaintiff is Isaac L. Brooks and
the defendants are Levi L. Field and
U. e. Frizelle.
In his complaint Brooks alleges
that May 1, 1900, he and the defend
ants entered into a contract by which
defendants agreed to sell to him the
southwest quarter of section SO, town
ship 1, range 25, east and that by
virtue of the contract he Immediately
entered into possession Of the land
and is still sc possessed; that he
made improvements thereon of the
valhe Of $1,000, and that in every re
spect he has faithfully complied with
therequirements of the contract so
far as it applies to him.
Tender Is Rejected.
April II, 1902, he continues, he
made tender to the defendants Of the
sum of $2,015, being the amount Of
the principal and interest due, as
full compensation and payment and
demanded a deed. The demand, he
alleys, was refused and no objection
made to the tender, nor was any rea-
son or cause advanced by defendants
for such refusal, and that he is now
still ready and eager to make the full
payment and secure the deed speci-
fed in the contract.
Has Another Grievance.
AS another grievance the plaintiff
alleges that he has also repeatedly
asked the defendants to clear the
title to the property by procuring a re-
lease Of a mortgage executed on the
same by William H. Ross in favor
of Herman H. Mund and to cause to
be recorded proper proof Of the status
Of one Henry N. Plat, as to whether
he was a single or married man at
the time he executed a mortgage on
the premises and in favor of Mund.
He furthermore alleges that he was
obliged to incur an expense of Sc to
clear the title and that at the time
of the execution of the contract
there was and Is still due the sum
Of $61.4S as delinquent taxes on the
property, added to which are the
usual penalties and interest, and that
defendants refuse to pay such de-
linquent taxes and accrued interest
and penalties.
Judgment Demanded.
In consideration of all he has
shown in his complaint, plaintiff de-
mands Judgment for $500 as plenary
damages and a decree ordering the
defendants to execute and cause to be
given to him a deed for the premises
in dispute.
The Contract.
Attached to the complaint is a copy
of the alleged contract. 1t provides
for the payment of the sum of $4,000
and interest at the rate of 10 per
cent per annum, payment to be made
in 10 insta'lments, the first on or be-
foae December 1, 1900, and the last
on or before April 1, 1905. The first
nine payments r to be in the sum
of $3.50, each, while the last specified
is to be $3.50.

OF ABSENCE REFUSED
captor Too Free in His
Criticisms Of Senators Of
the United States.

Washington, April 23.-By direc-
ton of President Roosevelt, Acting
Secretary of War sanger has ad-
dressed the following letter to General
Frederick Funston:
"Wai Department. Washington,
April 21.-sir: l am directed by the
president to instruct you that, he
wishes you to cease further public
discussion of the situation in the Phil
ippines and also to express his re-
gret that you should make a senator
of the United States the subject Of
discussion or criticism. Very re-
spectfully,
WILLIAM CAREY SANGER.
acting Secretary Of War"
At a banquet last Saturday night
of the Colorado Sons Of the Revolu-
ton, General Funston is reported to
have said Of Senator Hoar:
II have only sympathy for the SEN
ior senator from Massachusetts,, who
is suffering from an overloaded con-
scienco."
Probably what caused the issue of
this presidential letter was an appli-
cation rom General Funston for leave
of abseace in order that he might at
tend the banquet in Boston given by
the Middlesex club.
II was understoond he was tn de-
liver another address there, and as
the president ~deprecates the discus
sion Of public matters in this manner
by United States officers, the letter
was sent.
The request for a leave of absence
was refused.
A copy of Mr.. Sanger's letter was
forwarded to Senator Hoar.
