victory for the County.

The ruling of the supreme court In the
tax ferret case Of August Beresheim, guar
dian Of ]. B. Keeline. against County Treas
urer Arnd is a decided victory for Pott-
awattamie county. County Treasurer Arnd
assessed Beresheim as guardian Of j. b.
Keeline on $50, 900 for the years 1896, 1897,
1898 and 1899 and on $4,000 for 1900. act
ing on a report of Tax Ferret Cunningham
that he had unearthed property to this
amount which, had been withheld from as
sessment. Beresheim appeal to the dis
'trict court and the case was tried before
Judge Wheeler. who held that Beresheim
was only liable for the assessment for the
years 1898, 1899 and 1900. with interest
from the first OF January in each OF these
years. Judge Wheeler's ruling practically
was that the tax ferret law was not re-
troactive beyond 1898. While the supreme
court upholds the tax ferret law 1t modihes
Judge Wheeler's ruling by holding that
taxes can be assessed back to 1898, but
that no interest can be charged except from
the time that the county treasurer makes
the assessment.

Frisco Freight Agent Says His Road
Made Illegal Concessions
to Shippers.

ST. LOUIS. May ~. A. Middleton, gem
eral freight agent OF the st. Louis & San
Francisco railway, testified at a hearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce commission
in st. Louis that his road had given re-
bates on grain shipments in violation Of
the interstate m law, and 1t is ex-
pected that the commission will at once
ask for an injunction to restrain that rail-
road company from further violations.
The hearing was conducted by Special
Agent Marchand before Commissioners
Prouty and Fifer.
Mr.. Middleton's testimony was to the
effect that the Frisco. prior to January /,
1902, had made refunds to the Bronson
Judd Grain company and Langenberg Bros.
& Co.. on grain brought to the Mississippi
river. He stated that the Frisco had been
forced to this practice by the competition
Of other lines. which since have been en-
Joined.
ThS Frisco. according to the statement
OF a freight official, will make no objection
to an injunction; in fact, 1t is stated thai
the company would rather prefer to have
II. An injunction against the Frisco will
put all the roads in the grain territory on
the same basis.
The commission has concluded the hear
ing OF the case against the Mobile & Ohio
road. The testimony was TO the effect
that all shippers had been made acquainted
with the l1-eent rate on grain between
East st. Louis and Vieksburg. Complaint
had been made that this rate had been
given TO one grain Arm in discrimination
against another. The result of this hear
ing will be further instructions from the
/ commission in the matter Of making public
all rates. An order covering this subject
will be Issued al once from Washington, II

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-The entire time
Of the senate for the present week will be
devoted to the consideration Of the Phillip

son for changing previous predictions that
the debate upon that measure will practi-

postponing the final vote until the following

When Carl Herr entered his tailoring
shop at 621 West Broadway Sunday morn
ing he discovered that the place had been
visited by thieves during the night who
had almost depleted his stock Of goods, be-
sides carrying OF a number Of garments
which were ready for delivery. Investiga-
ton showed that the thieves had carried
away six pair Of trousers. four full suits,
two uniform suits and a large number
Of bolts of cloth. From the amount OF
goods taken, 1t is believed the thieves must
have hauled their booty away In a wagon.
They secured entrance to the building by
breaking in the back door.
The store is in the middle of the block,
Just west of the postofnce and next door

greater part OF the night. Herr left a

INCIDENTS OF CORONATION
Queen Mother Sheds Tears of JOY at
Ovation 10 Her Royal
SON.

MADRID, May 19.-Durlng the ceremonies
yesterday attendant on the attaining Of his
majority by King Alfonso the queen mother
was seen several times to wipe the tears
from her eyes when the king received the
ovations Of the people. A pretty incident
occurred while the royal procession was
passing through the streets of the city.
After the royal coach left the Chamber
Of Deputies a group Of young girls APP
preached the carriage and one of them
offered a boquet of roses and carnations
to his majesty, while her companions re-
leased a number OF doves. Several of the
birds few to the royal COACH, and one was
caught by the king. His majesty accepted
the boquet and warmly thanked the
donors.
The unusual event OF two bullfghts in
one day was Witnessed today. One fight
was held this morning and the other this
afternoon, and the Plaza del Toros was
filled each time.
The court and the diplomatic representa-
tives here attended the laying Of the foun-
dation stone of the first monument to
King Alfonso XII, the father of the present
king, in the Buen Retro gardens at
o'clock this afternoon. Ths was
performed by King Alfonso XIII.
MduTlu was generally Illuminated tonight
and fireworks were witnessed from different
points Of the city.
An address from the king to the army
and navy suitable to the present occasion
was issued this morning.
The Chamber of Deputies, where King
Alfonso yesterday took the oath to uphold
the constitution. was filled to its utmost
capacity. The brilliant uniforms Of the
princes. diplomatic and military and naval
officers. together with the toilettes of the
women, contrasted strongly with the even
ing dress OF the senators and deputies
present.
A touching incident occurred as the mem
bers of the royal party were leaving the
hall. All Of them had left the chamber,
with the exception Of the king and the
queen mother, when his majesty instinc-
lively stepped aside to permit his mother
to pass first. But the queen mother moved
back and motioned her son that 1t was his
place to go before her, now that her re-
gency had ended and he reigned as king.

MUSIC DRAWS A BIG CROWD
Several Thousand People Visit Paramount
Park During the Afternoon.
CONCERTS TO Be GIVEN EVERY SUNDAY
Park Commissioner Will EndeavOr to
PopuIarize the Place as Far as

The band concert at Paramount park Sum
day afternoon was listened to and APP
preciated by at least 1000 persons. The
park never looked prettier and the addi-
tionaI attraction OF Albin Huster's band
made IL doubly a drawing card yesterday.
Anticipating a big patronage the motor
company increased its service on the park
line and the traf1c was we'll handled.
The young people were out in full force
and the swings and other amusements pro-
vided for them were fully enjoyed. The
Zoo" proved Of much interest not only
to the children, but to the elder folk as
we'll.
During the band concert the hillsides ad-
jacent to the handsome bandstand were
crowded with people, the whole presenting
a decidedly picturesque and animated
scene. Yesterdays was the FIRST band con-
cert given by the Board Of Commissioners
since the grandstand was erected at con-
siderable cost nearly three years ago.
Lack of funds is said to have been re-
sponsible for the lack of music at the park.
Commissioner Graham is in favor Of having
these Sunday afternoon concerts, as they
have always been we'll patronized by the
public, and he stated yesterday that 50
long as the funds would permit they would
be continued this summer.

Defines Presbyterianism.

Rev. Dr.. Herrick Johnson of Chicago,
preaching In the Brick Presbyterian church
today, gave an exposition of Presbyterian
ism as understood by him. He said in part:
We heard from a Chicago platform, out
OF the mouth of an evangelical Clergyman
in good standing, that our orthodoxy stag
gers at nothing that will fill hell and Is
always facing a grave yard, looking at the
dead past. To vlndicate the PRESBYTERIAN
belief from the aspersions cast upon il
read the text: For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten son, that
whosoever believeth In Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life" There
Is the foundation of our theology. There
Is nothing Ola earth, nothing in hell, moth
ing in the whole universe, outside our own
hearts. that can prevent our being saved.
Thus, the Presbyterian orthodoxy Is trying
to fill heaven, while 1t is represented as
But what of election? Nothing. I be-
lieve in election. Suppose that zoo men are
in prison and announcement is made that
all have been pardoned and the doors are
thrown open and no man goes out. Then

loving violence persuade them to leave
prison; That is election but do I keep

NEW YORK, May 19.-The pulpits Of the
Presbyterian churches In Greater New York
were, for the most part, filled Sunday with
preachers from other places, all Of the
speakers being in attendance on the ses-
sions Of the general assembly.
Rev. Henry Van Dyke, d. D., the newly
elected moderator Of the assembly, preached
the assembly sermon at the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church. This is the largest
Presbyterian church In the country and its
capacity was taxed.
DR.. Van Dyke was introduced by Rev. ].
Ross Stevenson, D. D., the new pastor Of
the church. The moderator's sermon was
an appeal to Presbyterians to come from
behind their UNCONVENTIONAL barriers and
do battle for God. There is good fight
Ing" he said, "all along the line on Fifth
avenue. as well as on the lower East Side"
DR.. Van Dykes sermon was from the
text beginning:
Christ the Door.
II am the door," In one part Of It he
said:
Christ is the door of our faith. There
IS no advance IN religious knowledge, ex-
esspt through Him. There is no revision,
Without Him there may be change, but
the only possible Improvement is to tune
the keynote Of His name. Every forward
movement must be through Christ. His
word is our chart. His spirit is our guide.
His person is our star. Our motto is:
Not a new gospel, but more gospel"
Theology through Christ means the out
going OF the soul into life with God, with
unfolding every day. Beloved, now we
know In part. And the door that opens
before us into a wider, richer, truer knowl-
edge of God, is Jesus Christ, His only son,
our Lord. who is the b~lessedness OF the
Fathers glory and the express image of
His person.

He served seventeen terms in the Kan

more of the inside workings of both the

threatened to write book about his

that it never appeared gave rise to the

might tell things ION" them dissuaded
Legate from writing the book.
Legate IS a native of Massachusetts
and is now an old man. He came to
Kansas in 1854 and helped TO make"

ing of Lawrence and only escaped by
swimming the Kaw. He was the first
