MANY JUSTICES QUIT.
Governor Bailey Has Received 70
Reservations.

Within the last 80 days Governor
Bailey has received the resignation of
20 justices of the peace. Some assign
one reason and some another, such as
moving out of the township in which
they were elected. but the majority just
resign without giving any reason at all
Governor Bailey says he does not see
why it is. There are, of course, frequent
designations of this character, but the
numbers which have been coming in
recently are Unprecedented so far as IS
known. There is little compensation for
the average justice of the peace, and it
is quite likely that most justices are too
busy with other things to bother with
the duties of a magistrate.
A justice of the peace is judicial Of
ficer, and the constitution provides that
oil vacancies in all judicial offices shall
be filed by appointment by the COVER
nor. So while a county treasurer may
be appointed by board of county COM
rnissioners, or a county attorney by a
district judge, all justices of the peace
must be appointed by the governor.

DYKES MAY TRY.
Rumor That He Will Oppose Linton
for Legislature.

Smith Center, Kan. Nov. 2S.-J. A
Wright, secretary of the Smith County
Peoples party committee, will issue a
call soon for a meeting of the Populist
central committee. This call is made in
pursuance of a letter from w. J. Babb,
chairman of the Populist state commit
tee, saying that so far as he is concern
ed there will be a Peoples party state
convention called. Mr.. Babb goes on to
say:
1.-The late elections undoubtedly favor
the plutocratic element in the Demo-
cratic party I do not think the Bryan
element can possibly control the conven-
ton. So let US. regardless of what Dem
ocrats may do, keep up our organlza-
ton
From 1892 to 1902 there were three
Populist papers in Smith county. Since
then two have gone Democratic while
the third one gave up the ghost ana
quit rather than go to either of the old
parties. -
1t is understood among the Republic
cans of Smith county that L. NJ Lin
ton, present member of the legislature,
will be a candidate for denomination 1t
is also hearsay that DR.. John b.. Dykes,
candidate for congress on the Popullst
ticket in the Sixth district. in 1900, viii
be the choice of his party to make the
race against Mr.. Linton.

SAWED A BAR.
Four Prisoners at the City Jail
Escape.
Albert Beigley, Held for Grand
Larceny, the Leader.

Four prisoners escaped from the city
Jail Sunday night or early this morn
ing, after saving off a bar in window
on the north side of the cell room The
prisoners escape was not discovered
until $50 this morning, when some one
inquired about one of the men.
The leader of the gang is said to be
Albert E. Beigley, who was held on
the charge of grand larceny. Beigley,
it is claimed, stole a valise from the
Santa Fe depot several days ago, which
contained valuable jewelry. The valise
belonged to a travelling man named T.
S. Holingsworth. Beigley was captured
Saturday evening. The other prisoners
who escaped were Hayti Weatherly, who
was held on the charge of disturbing
the peace, and Joe Dwiggins and Grant
Jones, two boys who were arrested on
the charge of stealing brass.
The bar on the window had been
sawed off near one Of the cross braces
not more than ten inches wide and six
teen high. Beigley. the ringleader, is
husband No. of the woman who at
tempted suicide about a week ago at
her home in the east part of town. She
was at the Jail visiting her husband
Sunday afternoon, and it is supposed
that she handed him the saw through
the door.
Within twenty minutes after the de-
livery was discovered, Detective John
Gardiner came in with Hayti Weather
ly, whom he found at the county court
house. Hayti admitted that he crawled
through the hole in the window, but de-
MED that he had anything to do with
the cutting of the bar. His statement
is liable to be true, as he was not
brought in UT i 1890 last night, when
he was arrested by Officer Hendricks
for threatening to carve a man with
a pocketknife. When asked about the
escape the other prisoners denied know
ing anything about it, but when several
of them were ''sweated' they admitted
that they knew what was going on, but
being in for minor offenses did not care
to follow the example of the others. 1t
is believed that all the prisoners were
in the plot, as they spent the afternoon
in vigorous singing, presumably to
drown the sounds made in cutting out
the bar.
When Weatherly was brought in this
morning he was consigned to the pen
u dark cage in the basement. At noon
Beigley had not been recaptured.

COULDN'T FOOL HIM
Doctor Was Firm and Was Right.

Many doctors forbid their patients to
drink coffee, but the patients still
drink it on the sly and thus spoil all
the DOCTORS efforts and keep them
selves sick Sometimes the doctor
makes sure that the patient is not
drinking coffee, and there was a case
of that kind in st. Paul where bust
ness man said:
After a very severe illness last Win
ter which almost caused my death the
doctor said Postum Food Coffee was
the only thing that 1 could drink, and
he just made me quit coffee and drink
Postum. NV illness was caused by in
digestion from the use of tea and
coffee
THE state of my stomach was so
bad that it became terribly infiamed
and finally resulted in rupture
had not drank Postum very long be-
fore my lost blood was restored and
my stomach was well and strong. and
I have now been using Postum for
almost a year. When I got up from
bed after my illness l weighed 50
pounds. and now my weight is 120.
There is no doubt that Postum was
the reason for this wonderful improve
ment, and shall never go back to tea
or coffee but shall always stick to the
food drink that brought me back to
health and strength" Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.

Florida
East Coast

which is at once a compendium and
guide for the tourist and wfnter yisi-
tor.
The booklet contains one hundred
pages with the cover beautifully illus
trated, the front page being a represen~
tation of the old city gates of ST. Au-
gustine with the legend: THE East
Coast of Florida is Paradise Regained."
The back cover illustrates the sunny
side of the earth and the inside OF the
cover contains distinct maps of Florida
and the adjacent coast states.

as it gives a description of each place
on the East Coast, the distance, rates of
fare and a complete list of hotels and
boarding houses with the daily ana
weekly rate of each, which ranges from
eight dollars per week up. The idea that
only wealthy people can afford to visit

winter tourist season is a mistake.
