While the Denver lad is confident. he

In the first place, Hanlon had a

and had it not been for the fact that
Corbett held the title it is more than
likely that the referee would have

In the second place, Benny Yanger,

Corbett must be a better boy on the
night of December 20 than he was when
he faced Hanlon the last time, and fur

HAZEN Is FUNNY.
Starts Lawyers to Laughing About
Burton Case.

When Judge Hazen is humorous he
is humorous to a degree that generally
starts the majority of people in the
court room to tittering despite Bailif
Coyne's warning.
This morning Judge HaZen saw
chance and he did not miss it, A mo-
ton was made in some litigation in
which G.. G. Burton is interested Bur-
ton had a case in which he applied for
a change OF venue because he thought
Judge Hazen would not give him
new trial The change of venue was
granted. This morning an attorney in
the case wished Judge Hazen to allow
a motion Judge Hazen called atten-
ton to the fact that Burton had asked
for a change of venue and that he
Hazen) did not intend TO take any
hand in the case Since the case in
which Burton asked for a change of
venue, Burton brought another suit
against the American Book company
in Hazen's court. and received g, YER
dict for S175.
Burton has probably changed his
mind" said the lawyer in the case.
HE now thinks this court is all right y
Burton will have to file an affidavit
to the effect that he thinks this court
is just said Hazen- IF he wants me
to act in the case
From the fact that he won a case
and got verdict here since them
said the lawyer. "he probably thinks
this court is very just"
1T is not too late to grant a new
trial in the case in which he got iudg-
ment," said Hazen- The lawyers saw
the point.

Queer Find Made by a Coal Com
pany at Pittsburg.
Flint Arrow heads Buried Many
Feet Under Ground.
BELOW 2 BEDS OF COAL
In Rude Box Made of Bark and
SOlidly FOssilized.
How Many Years They Have
Lain There None Can Know.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 30.-In a shaft
being sunk by the Weir Junction Coal
company, find was made which will
attract students of archaeology A rude
box made CT bark about SKA inches was
soiidly imbedded in fire clay about so
feet under ground and was fossilized,
but the bark can be seen plainly on the
inside. Three arrowheads of flint were
found i'll the box and two of them are
diminished. The box and contents were
below two beds of COAL The coal had
not been disturbed.
Coal is believed by scientists to be
hardened beds of peat and vegetable
matter. AT the time coal was formed
the damDness and heat of the earth pro-
duced prodlgious masses of underground.
This mad its day and decayed and drop
ped to the wet earth. Layer after layer
accumulated and in many cases mixed
with the bark and leaves of oak trees
which contain tannin. This preserved
the veseIab bic matter and changed it to a
kind of coarse peat. 1t is supposed that
by volcanic disturbances. landsldes or
the accumulation of surface soil, these
deposits were covered, and the action of
the heat OF the earth combined with
pressure end age carbonized the mass
into coal. The age of coal is a matter
of dISpure among scientists. Some say
that the harder varieties have been in
the process OF IOTIndllOu millions OF
years.
The box found in the coal bed might
have been placed there while the coal
was in the soft stage, or even while it
was peat. Another possibility is that a
volcanic disturbance threw the coal bed
toward the surface and in some way
inclosed the box in the clay. It is be-
heved that there has been no great
disturbance of the Kansas coal fields
for thousands of years. In many mines
in these fields the layer of fire clay is
found to be Immediately under the coal.
The clay is dug from under the coal
with picks and the coal drops down
from above.
Anthropologists are gradually coming
to believe that man is of more remote
origin than was formerly believed. HUI
man bones have been found with those
of fossil species of the extinct elephant,
rhinoceros and bear. 1t is now estab
lished that man existed in the drift
period, when the great glaciers from the
north overran what is now the United
States. One piece of evidence is a rein
deer horn with a rude picture scratch
ed on it of mammoth. This carries
the age of man back tens of thousands
of years, but not as far as the period
of coal formation, which was thousands
of years before the drift period.

1T FELL BY WAYSIDE.
Editorial in Burton Machine Or.
gan That Was Suppressed.

The politicians are now wondering
whom the Topeka Capital, the Burton
organ in Kansas, is supporting for SUI
preme judge to succeed Judge Pollock.
Copies of an early edition of last Sat
urday's Capital have reached Topeka
containing a leading editorial endorsing
Case Broderick of Holton for the place,
but the editorial does not appear in the
other editions.
Why was this endorsement was sent out
into certain parts of the state but sup
pressed in later editions which circulate
in Topeka? the politicians are asking.
Was it to start a boom for Broderick
and encourage him to get into the race,
thereby keeping him out of the con-
gressional race against Mr.. Curtis? And
why was the editorial suppressed in To-
peka? Who ordered it's suppression?
Was it intended in good faith when first
inserted, and then suppressed when it
came to the knowledge of the powers
behind the management What is the
True Story ofzthe Suppressed Editor
ial? A73f
The editorial in full was as follows:
I'm appointing a successor to Justice
Pollock the governor will no doubt
make his selection from candidates on
friendly relations with the machine.
This is to be expected, and this being
the case a most appropriate appoint
ment would be that of Judge Broderick
of Holton, whose special fitness for the
place cannot be disputed.
1.-The first congressional district has
no representative on the supreme court,
though furnishing more important liti-
cation perhaps than any other district
in the state.
Judge Broderick settled in Holton
two years before Kansas became a state
and has retained his citizenship there
ever since. He enlisted from there in
the civil war, being mustered out in
August, 1865 Three years later he was
elected judge of the probate court of
Jackson county and held the office six
years. Two years later he was elected
county attorney and held the office four
years, and Immediately on retiring from
this position he represented Jackson
county in the state senate, and at the
President Arthur associate justice of the
he filled satisfactorily for four years, re-
Stunning in 1888 the practice of law in
Holton Except for the two years he
represented the First district in congress
after the retirement of Mr.. Morrill,, he
has since been steadily engaged in the
practice of law. Excepting repre-
sentative in congress and state senator
he has held no Office not in direct line
of his profession.
1.-THE Republicans of the First district
by putting up united front for Judge
Broderick should have a good chance
to win this appointment. There are po-
litical differences in the district, but
this is not political office. If the First
district hopes to have a representative
on the supreme court, as it is entitled
to have, it should put up a strong uni
ted endorsement for Judge Broderick.'
