COL. HARRISON WINS.
Won't Be Held for His Liability in
Capital Case.

The case Of the Remington Paper
company VS.. 7. W. Harrison was tried
in the district court Tuesday and the
day before. This litigation has been
pending in one form or another for sew
en- or eight years The Remington Pa
per company sued the Topeka Capitol
company and finally recovered Judg-
ment for S10.160. Fifteen or sixteen
suits were brought against the stock
holders to enforce their double liability.
Three such suits were brought against
Col. #. w Harrison who held Is shares
of the stock of $500 each one OF these
suits was dismissed after one of the
cases in the supreme court was affirm
ed. About a year ago one of the other
cases against Harrison was tried in the
district court and decided in his favor.
He then pleaded the decision in his fa-
vor in that case in the suit which has
just been tried and Judge Hazen held
that this plea was a good defense and
the plaintiff dismissed this case after
the evidence was taken and the case
ready for submission TO the jury.

Buffalo Bills Show Favorite With
the Royal Family.

London, March 25.-Queen Alexandra
has fallen a victim to the delights of
Buffalo Bills Wild West show. Twice
within six days her majesty went to
Olympia to see the Indians, cowboys
and rough riders of the world perform.
The only part of the show her ajesty
did not approve was the storming Of
San Juan Hill. The heavy firing of the
guns made her head ache So on both
occasions that spectacle was put first
on the programme and finished before
her majesty arrived Not only the
queen, but the Prince and Princess of
Wales, Princess Victoria and the Prin-
cesses Margaret and Patricia of Con-
naught went to see the show twice. The
king went only once. The tiny Princess
Mary of Wales had. the great treat of
accompanying her grandmother and
parents upon both visits

the senate today defending France s
naval policy said the United States fur
nished a lesson in naval construction
which France could follow with adj
vantage. He referred 10 the American
and German navies as being the two
most progressive of the present time
and said their strength was not through
the maintenance of d large. unWields
effective force during times of peace
but was due to a small peace eTectfv
force capable Of quick enlargement s
time of war. This permitted the ex
penditure Of large amounts of none
during periods of peace on dock yards
coaIing stations and new ships. instead
Of continuing expenditures on a costiy|
effective force. The minister declared
France should follow the same course
concentrating all her naval efforts on
construction.

At the meeting of the Building
Trades Association, held in Dana Hall
last night, the troubles between the

painters came up for discussion and
the association passed resolution to
back up anything that the boss paint
ers should do in regards to the settle
ment of the trouble.
The bosses have decided to notify
the painters that the strike must be
settled at certain date and the men
return to work, or they will use means
to settle the trouble. Most of the
boss painters are tired of the way
things have been going lately. Many
of the painters have decided to go in
to business for themselves and on
Monday new firm composed of jour-
neyman painters will commence busi-
ness and they claim they have received
plenty of orders and will be able to
put other painters at wok.

ONE DOG LESS IN
THIS CITY TODAY.
COnsta Ie SChant- Shot Animal Be-
longing to Mechanic Street
SaIOOnkeeper.

Constable Schantz shot the big dog
owned by John Gerba, the Mechanic
street saloonkeeper, this morning, be-
cause, he says, the animal tried to
bite him. According to number OF
people the dog has repeatedly jumped
at people and threatened to bite them
many times before this.
Mr.. Gerba told Officer McDermott
the dog was lying on the sidewalk
when Schantz shot him. When the
owner wanted to make trouble for
Schantz, McDermott told him the
most he could do was to go bury the
dog.
A large crowd gathered after two
shots had been fired into the dog and
for a few minutes there was lively
scene between Schantz and Gerba.
This was followed by the wailing OF
few and a general rejoicing by a
great majority.
