wfched together to make regiment.
and under the orders of a colonel who
meant fight they threw up breast
work and waited for what was to come.
There was riffraff there in plenty, but
none In such contempt as the eighty
men of Company b. Little or nothing
was expected Of them, and they were
given the left flank.
At the end of two days, as divisions
and brigades formed In the valleys and
artillery galloped here and there to
crown the knobs and hills. the enemy
came marching down the pass, hoping
to find 1t unguarded. In this they were
disappointed; but, being FIVE to one,
they swept forward with yells and
cheers to brush the thousand defenders
aside. The fighting colonel watched
the onfall with heart In his mouth. A
thousand steady old veterans would
have given him confidence, but he was
looking at the backs of thousand
bummers. He cursed and prayed alter
nately as he heard the confident cheers
Of the enemy, but after the first grap-
pie he smiled. The bummers had held
their own and were cheering in def
ance.
"The next attack will be farther to
the left" unused the colonel as he saw
the enemy gathering again, land If
Company B fails me our whole line
will be swept away. 1t was shame
to send me such men,"
There was another hot fight and an
other fierce grapple, and when the hull
came the colonel threw up his hat and
cheered. The "B" men had not only
stood firm, but had shifted along with
out orders to take more of the brunr
of the battle. The orders to the 5000
men were to break through at all costs.
The orders to the 1000 We're to hold
the mouth of that pass to the last man.
The fight began when the sun had only
half an hour more of life, and it ragged
at intervals for three hours. Then
those in the pass and those behind the
breastwork slept or made ready for
daylight. The birds had hardly taken
wing before the musketry began to
volley again. Re-enforcements had
been sent for, but they could not be up
for hours. Meanwhile the thousand
must hold the pass.
1t is on record in history how the
thousand fought. From sunset to dark
ness, from daylight to high noon, they
crouched behind that wretched little
breastwork of logs and stones and gave
up their places only when they fell
back dead. The pass was held.
When the re-enforcements marched
up at last they found scarce 800 men
crouching there, but they were fight
ing yet-f1ghting and dying. And when
the enemy had made last charge and
been driven back to try no more the
colonel rode down the line to cheer this
and that company and to finally ask:
where Is B company? Every man
Of them has covered himself with glo-.

dropped up with his back to the breast

"Deadr' finished the colonel as the
man fell back. "And Drawer men Will

CHELE is ARRESTED.
Son-in- Law Held for Murder of
VIM. T. Smale.

Ed Chelf, the son-in-law of William
T. Smale, who was murdered at his
home five miles north of Harveyvillef
Kan, Monday night, was arrested last
night by Sheriff Fred Freye of Wa
baunsee county, charged with the muir
der. His father. Charles Chelf, was also
arrested
These arrests were made after care
full investigat ton made by the sheriff,
who found what he considered sufficient
grounds for suspicion. Young Chef has
been under suspicion since the tragedy.
and it was decided that his father was
implicated. A bitter feeling existed be-
tween the two families, owing to the
action of Mr.. Smale in causing his
daughter to leave her husband.
It is now the belief that a plot to de-
stroy the Smale family was in progress.
Last spring the little daughter of Mr..
Smale died suddenly under circum-
stances which led to the belief that she
had hydfbphobia. 1t is probable that
the remains of the child will be ex-
huned for the purpose of analyzing the
stomach for traces of poison. Several
years ago the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
Smale. died under suspicious circum-
stances.
father is very strong in the neighbor-
hood, and if further developments
strengthen the suspicion against them,
trouble is liable to follow.
At the inquest held at a school house
four miles north of Harveyville last
night, Ed Chelf and his father. Charles
-Chelf, were held on the charge of MUIR
der. in the sum of 81 900 each County
Attorney F. A Seaman. who conduct
ed the investigation. decided that the
evidence against the Chelfs was not
sufficient to hold them without bond.
The defendants have retained Judge
William Thompson as their attorney,
and he was present at the investiga-
ton. Both men gave the bond re-

and did not reach the scene, of the

BRYAN SAILS.
Leaves for Europe Accompanied
by His Son.

New York, Nov. l1.-William Jen-
nings Bryan will sail for Europe today
with his 13-year-old son, William j.,
jr.. on the steamer Majestic.
Mr.. Bryan had expected to sail sew
eral weeks ago, but was detained by
the Philo S Bennett will case. He is
going to Europe for the first time,
partly on business and partly for
pleasure and will take in the most of
England and a good part of the con-
tinent before returning. He will be
gone several weeks.
Before he sailed Mr. Bryan was
asked by an interviewer:
''Will the Democrats go to the polls
next year as a united party?"
81 think all Democrats will be united
at the polls. but not of course those
who are not Democrats. Those who
are not Democrats will not be with the
Democrats"
IF all agreed upon you would you
accept the nomination ?''
'I am not a candidate. 1 have said
this before. 1 repeat it. 1 am not a
candidate for the office.
"On my return I shall simply resume
my fight for Democracy, and what I
shall do can be gauged by what / have
done in the past. I hope to keep up
the fight for at least 20 more years
I will then be 6S years of age, and in
the meantime there will be six presi-
Dental elections. Even then / may
not be too old to continue the fight

Panama situation at this time

MUST PAY IN CASH.
Attorney General Holds That
Corporations Must DO So.

Assistant Attorney General Close has
rendered an opinion in response to the
request from the state labor bureau con-
corning the payment of employees with
checks by the packing houses and other
big corporations at Kansas City, th;lt
payment by check does not comply with
the law upon the subject. The complaint
came to the labor department that the
men are unable to get their checks CASH
ed without losing time from their work
since the saloons have been closed. 1t
has been the custom for the saloons to
cash pay checks in order to get tra,ie
from the laboring men.
If the Law were enforced to the letter
it would apply to all corporations except
railroads and creameries and cheese fac
tories, and prohibit them from paying
by check, and also compel them to pay
their wages weekly, not later than on
Friday following the week they became
due.
There are two statutes on the subject
of the payment of wages, one passed by
the legislature of 1898. and the other in
1899. The provisions of the 1898 law are
as follows:
''All private corporations doing busi-
ness within this state, except all steam
surface railways and except corpora
tiops engaged in the production of farm
and dairy products, shall pay to their
employees the wages earned each and
every week in lawful money of the
United States, and all such wages shall
be due and payable and shall be paid
by such corporation not later than Fri
day of each week for all such wages
earned the preceding week.
Whenever such corporation fails to
pay any of their employees as provided
in section 1 of this act, then penalty
shall attach to such corporation and be
come due to such employees, as follows:
A sum equivalent to penalty of per
ecent per month as liquidated damages;
and such penalty shall attach and be-
come a Judgment in any court of COM
petent jurisdiction, and the penalty
shall continue in full force and effect,
including all time intervening up to
time of final payment"
If this law is as bad as the language
in it, it isn't of much account.
The statute passed in 1899 provides as
follows:
any person, firm or corporation to any
person in their or it's employ in pay
ment of wages for labor, shall be dated
at the time of its issuance, and after
fifteen days from the date of issuance,
SHALL at the option of the holder there
Of be payable by the maker in lawful
money of the United States: Provided,
that nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to repeal any law now on the
statute book
There is some question about the con-
stitutionality of the 1893 law. The fact
that it excludes railroads and cream
cries from it's provisions may bring it
under the head of class legislation.
AS a matter of fact there is very lit
tie objection to the payment of wages
by means of checks, so long as the
bank account on which the check is
drawn is good. If the law is held to be
good and should be enforced to the
letter it would compel every corpora
ton to each week draw out of its bank
account enough cash to pay off it's en-
ployes in cash.

At Trinidad union headquarters lave

cials claim to have more men working
in the southern fields than on Monday
but the number of miners on strike in
that region is conservatively estima ted
at 1000. With 800 additional idle min

in the northern field the total number
of strikers in this state exceeds 10, 600

STILL WANT MEN.
Demand at Free Employment Office
Again Exceeds Supply.

The temporary rush of applications Of
idle men for places to work seems to

more Jobs on the books of the free em-

fill them. There are still a great many
men coming in to get work. but the
number of applications for help have
multiplied still faster until today the
employment agent has the following
positions open:
Twenty-Five men for pulling trees at
Watson's nursery and 10 men for the
same kind of work at Pughs nursery.
Also for a number of boys stripping
leaves from apple trees at nurseries
Ten men and teams are wanted by
the contractor employed on the excava-

church.
six applications are on file for farm

work offered is corn husking.
There are also the usual large number
of application for house girls-probably
a dozen good places are open.
There's a farmer living in a neighber-

AN EMPORIA LAWSUIT.
Heirs of the Baird Estate Again
Ask for Partition.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. lin the dis
trict court Attorney ]. G. Hutchinson.
for the majority of the heirs of John
Hardin Baird, filed a new Baird case.
This asks for a partition of the prop
erty among the III heirs and the ap-
pointment of receiver to look after the
estate. At present the administrator of
the estate is Howard Dunlap and he
has been looking after the rents of the
real estate and if receiver is appoint
ed this will be his work
The petition is presented by the same
plaintiffs, 112 in number, who brought
action for the contest of the will. The
defendants are those who refused to
sign the contest case against the will.
They are Alexander P. Baird, Harry O..
Clendenning, William Clendenning and
Mrs, E. J. Curtis.
In the partition it is mentioned what
each heir shall receive. The estate will
be divided into $500 parts; some will re-
eeive one of these parts and others win
receive many parts according to the
nearness of kin. The amount of prop
erty that is in litigation under the will
cannot be divided till it is settled in
court. A noticeable fact is that J. H
McDill. who was left $4,000 by the will,
is not an heir-at-law. His mother, Mrs
Curtis, however, is. Unless the will
stands in the supreme court, Mr. Nc
Dill will not get a share of the estate.
