his enemies, and when he sees a man
whom he thinks is playing into the hand
of man whom Bailey knows to be
crooked, applying for. of11ce, Bailey
strains a point and turns him down
even though he is an enemy. Probably
Mr.. Valentine would not step across the
dead line of factionalism to commend
Bailey, if Valentine did not believe
what he said; Valentine has just been
through a fight wherein Bailey might
have hurt him Apparently Bailey did
not do so, nor try to do so. Bailey has
not gone out of his way to hinder any
good man like Valentine who aspires to
office. Bailey has done exactly what
every full-blooded man would do Help
ed his friends and let his enemies rustic
for themselves.
He is abused because Tom Kelly and
the legislature raised the taxes. The
Kansas City Journal is authority for
the statement that Tom Kelly raised the
taxes of Kansas, by juggling with
the legislature added the other half.
Bailey has no influence over Tom Kelly,
and even his enemies will not accuse
him of having influence over but one
house of the legislature. One house can
do nothing. Bailey had no more to do
with the increased taxes in Kansas than
the Aquand of Swat had to do with the
propagation of the nebular hypothesis.
There is no doubt where Thomas
Kelly stands: he would push Ed Hoch
into the race and hang on to his coat
tails like a sick DUP to a hot brick II
he dared to do so publicly. But Tor
policy's sake'-sweet policy's sake
Thomas is as silent as clam-as
whole can of clans. He knows tnat
the minute he comes out for Hoch. the
dear little ring-tailed kittie will be out
of the bag! For it is to pull Thomas
through and hide his shortcomings that

absolutely sure of only Doniphan.
Here is what he says:
I'm a fight between Bailey and Hoch
the present governor is reasonably sure
of only three counties-his own and
reports from Nemaha county are to the
effect that Hoch clubs will be organ
lied there and that the governors s
home county will be stormed with
considerable hope of success. King
man, AlbaUghs county, is also apt to
go against Bailey. So you see what is
in prospect if the present fight is
kept up."

TO RUN WATER WORKS
City Council Proposes to Evolve
a Plan.

At the next council meeting, it is like
ly that a special committee will be ap-
pointed for the purpose of drawing up
a plan for the management of the city
waterworks when they pass into the
control of the city. this plan to be en-
bodied into an ordinance.
This is about the most important step
of all in the acquisition of the city
waterworks, for it is likely that upon
the plan now adopted, the waterworlxs
will henceforth be conducted. What the
city wants is an absolutely non-par-
tisan, non-political management of the
plant.
1t is believed by some members of the
council that the best plan is to govern
the waterworks by a board of three per-
sons who shall each receive a small
salary, and who shall elect the superin-
tendent. Some think that while the
city is about it, the electric light works
should be placed under the control of
the same board, and remove both of
these important municipal industries as
far as possible from political influence.
If this can be done it would dispose of
the perpetual rows which are originat-
ing about the electric light works jobs,
one of which has reached such magni-
tude that it is now in the supreme court.
If the city can keep politics out of the
waterworks plant, the city will make
money on the investment

SECOND SHOCK KILLED.
w. II. Ennis Put to Death in
Electric Chair.

New York, Dec. 14-William H.
Ennis, former Brooklyn policeman,
convicted of having murdered his wife,
was put to death this morning in the
electric chair in Sing Sing prison. Two
applications of the current were made.
The murder took place in January A.
1902, at the home of Mrs. Ennis
mother, in Carnarsie. The policeman
first attacked his mother-in-law, then
he shot down his wife, despite the
pleading of her sister.
Ennis is reported to have made a full
confession as the result of a remark
able experiment made by commits
sion of alienists.
Ennis, after his conviction, apparent
ly became insane. A commission ap-
pointed by the governor went to the
prison and found he had not only ex-
hibited signs of mental collapse but
his physical condition appeared to be
alarming. This suggested a test. An
ether cone was placed over his face
and just when the anesthetic was ad-
ministered to affect the mind to the
point of cloudiness, he was accidentally
thrown from the table to the floor.
Ennis alighted upon his feet. He
whirled about and walked across the
room. There was no trace of weak
ness or uncertainty. The doctors burst
into a laugh at the exposure and Ennis

A SHERIFF ROBBED.
Bandits Then Loot the Baxter
Springs Depot.

Baxter Springs, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE
st. Louis & San Francisco depot here
was robbed Saturday night by Clarence
Cunningham and an unidentified man
after they had held up and robbed
Charles Raines, sheriff of Cherokee
county. The robbery occurred about
midnight. Sheriff Raines left Galena
at 11:20 o'clock for Columbus. Between
Galena and this place he saw Cum
ningham on the train, who with half a
dozen others is wanted for breaking
jail in Columbus. When the train ar
rived here Cunningham got off and en-
tered the depot. Sheriff Raines follow
ed him. Inside the depot the sheriff
drew his revolver. pointed it at Cum
ningham, and said:
Cunningham, 1 want you"
Cunningham did not move, but a
pal at his side drew a revolver, and
pointing it at Raines told him that he
did not want him but to throw up his
hands. The order was obeyed. The
sheriff was robbed of his watch, re-
volver and 81. He was then marched
to the train by the ''holdups'- and after
being put on board, one of the men
said, Here, keep your gun; it's too
small for our business and he threw
the sheriff's pistol into the car to him
as the train pulled out.
The men then went into the depot
and held up the agent. One rified the
safe and took all the money it contain
ed while the other kept his revolver on
the agent. The two walked from the
depot down to a livery stable, and or
dered a team, saying they wanted to
look at some cattle about three miles
east and would return the rig by Z
o'clock Sunday.
A telephone message from Seneca,
Mo-, fills the description as to the team
and the occupants of the vehicle are
supposed to have taken a westbound
train into Indian Territory.

Jury Wilt Be Here at 8 O'clock
Tomorrow.

charge of numbering his wife, will be
resumed in the district court at 8
o'clock Tuesday morning. The jurymen
assembled this morning at 9 o'clock
and were dismissed until Tuesday by
Judge Hazen.
The trial was stopped suddenly Fri
day morning when the sad news was
conveyed to Judge Hazen that his wife
had been burned by gasoline and was
dying. AS to stop the trial would mean
a legal complication in the case and
would be hardship on the defendant
and increase the costs, Judge Hazen
determined to continue with the case
without further delay in order that
there will be no mistrial. When the
Lowe case is concluded there will be no
more court business for time as
Judge Hazen has declared all assign
ments off for the present. The Lowe
case will demand the attention of the

SAM PARKS MEN
Are Suspected of Trying to
Blow Up Building.

New York. Dec. 1.-Two mysterious
explosions have puzzled the police and
caused much excitement among the
first, which apparently occurred in the
basement of the Broadway tabernacle.
in course Of erection at Broadway and
F'ifty-sixth street, occurred during the
night and was audible for several
blocks The second occurred about
four hours later in a building in course
of erection at Broadway and Forty
third street The damage in each in
stance was slight. The explosive at
the second place. which is believed to
have been a dynamite bomb, was ap-
parentIy placed close to the engine and
ignited by means of a time fuse, a
fragment of which was found.
Nam bers of the new housesnith's S
union No. 1 have been employed on
both buildings, and the police believe
the explosions were the work of men
in the union formerly controlled by
Sam Parks.
