SMALL BOUND OVER.
Policeman Held for Smashing
John B0wen's Head.

Ewing Small, a colored policeman.
was bound over in the city court this
morning on $1,000 bond to stand trial
in the district court on the charge of
assaulting John Bowen with intent to
kill.
Officer Small and two other police
men attempted to arrest Bowen on
the charge of running a joint From
the evidence no legal arrest was made.
Bowen left his place of business and
started for Ed Moeser's office. He and
the three officers had an argument, and
when Bowen ATTEMPTED to enter
Moeser's office they tried to prevent
him. A blow was struck and Bowen
staggered into Moeser's office. Moeser
caught him and kept him from falling.
The officers claimed that Bowen tried
to draw a revolver and shoot. Bowen
testified that he did not consider him
self legally under arrest, and that he
tried to hand his revolver over to
Moeser to keep the officers from get
ting it. and that they prevented him
from giving it to Moeser, and that
then he tried to throw the revolver on
a desk. and the officers prevented him
from doing that, and that Small struck
| him with his club, inf1icting four Sc
we're wounds on his head. Bowen s
testimony was substantiated by Ed
Moeser and Sylvan Kline. Bowen was
in a hospital for two weeks and his
skull was treohined. Small will be
tried in the district court on the charge
of assault with intent to kill.

HILL CLIMBING CONTEST.
Automobiles Will Journey Up MT
Washington.

New York, March 19.-Plans are be-
ing gradually perfected for the great
automobile hill climbing contest this
summer up Mount Washington in the
White mountains. The main difficulty
has been to get permission to use the
mountain road for such purpose. Ne
gotiations to this end have practically
been closed
The present intention is to hold the
contest during the latter part of June
or early in July. The start will be made
near the foot Of the mountain and the
contest, which will virtually be an en-
durance test, will last two days. The
machines, with their operators, will
rendezvous at one of the hotels near the
middle of the mountain and only those
vehicles that have come up to a re-
quired standard will be allowed to con-
tinue on the second and deciding day of
the ascent The test will be one of the
most ambitious yet attempted by auto
mobi1ists

MAY GUST THE MAYOR.
Old Soldier Law Causes a Commotion
at Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, Kan, March 19.-Unless
he is persuaded not to do so, there is
a probability that Geo. Pond, who was
an applicant for the position of chief of
police last summer against w. 1. Men
denhall, will institute legal proceedings
against Mayor Congdon compelling him,
under the old soldier law, to give him
the preference. Mr. Pond was prompts
ed by the recent decision Of the supreme
court to look into the matter. The re-
port is that he would file proceedings
to GUST the mayor, but under the law
there is no provision for this. The only
recourse that Mr.. Pond has is to cause
the mayors arrest on misdemeanor
charge and compel him to give the old
soldier the preference. Mayor Cong
don is not fearful that there will be
any bad results. In fact he does not be-
lieve that Mr.. Pond will resort to this
method.
Mr.. Pond is quoted by several par
ties as saying that he intended to
bring such proceedings and that he
had retained Biddle and Lardner to
draw up the papers.

this would seem to be the inference
from the number of times the Kansas
representative is being called to tile
chair by the speaker. Only a short
time ago, Mr.. Campbell was called up
on to preside in committee of the
whole during an entire afternoon, and
on Saturday he was called to the chair
by the speaker, and was speaker pro
tempore while 800 pension bills were
passed. The Washington Post says:
Speaker Cannon has discovered a
new presiding officer in one of his
boys" as he calls the younger mem
bers of the house. Last Saturday,
when about 800 pension bills were to
be put through in the shortest posi-
BILE time, he called to the chair Mr..
Campbell, of Kansas, who is serving
his first term and who is one OF the
youngest members of the house.
Mr.. Campbell had never in his life
presided over a legislative body, and
he was thunderstruck when he heard
the speakers summons. But he girded
up his loins, and with at least an out
ward show of compoSure undertook the
task In ten minutes he was putting
his bills through at a rate that Uncle
joe could never have hoped to equal.
The 300 bills were disposed of in less
than three hours. Speaker Cannon
publicly congratulated Mr.. Campbell
on his success in the chair.
Representative Bowersock is again in
his seat in the house after an absence of
several weeks Mr.. BoWerSoek says he
is confident that his name will go on
the official ballot as the regular nominee
of the Garrett convention. The action
of the state convention in recognizing
his convention at Garnett he regards as
a good omen. Il think there is little
doubt of the result when the case is
taken up by the state contest board, .
he said yesterday. Il certainly have
every reason to feel confident
Kansas newspapers are usually fairly
accurate and reliable, but some of them
are badly mixed just now, as is shown
by the agitation for q battleship to be
called Kansas. Such a battleship is now
being built, the secretary of the navy
having accorded Kansas the honor at
the solicitation of the members of con-
gress from the Sunhower state. 1t is to
be one of the largest in the navy.
Representative Scott has returned to
Washington, accompanied by Mrs. Scott,
who went with him to Kansas. where he
was unanimously renominated for con-
gressman-at-large by the state conven-
ton. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott stopped in
Kentucky, and were for several days
the guests of x-Representative and
Mrs. Moss of that state. Mr.. Scott pre-
diets an enthusiastic campaign in Kan
sas and an unprecedented majority for
the Republican ticket.

Grip runs into
Chronic disease

You can't afford to fool with it. Peo-
pie of 80 and over rarely recover from
its effects if it is allowed to run. Half
the deaths among mature persons may
be traced directly back to an attack of
grippe. 1t is just as much to be dread
ed as typhoid fever. If it gets a hold on
the system it is the hardest thing in the
world to dislodge. And yet the doctors
seem to do it mighty little good. Every
person can call to mind dozen of his
neighbors who haven't gotten over
grippe, although they have had the best
of medical attention. There is only one
thing than can be depended upon.

Congressman Ask for Adjust

Mr.. BOWersock Is Back in Seat
in the House.

Washington, March 1S.-Several days
ago 2 story was sent out from the
White House to the effect that at a
conference between the president and
representative Sullaway of New Hamp-
shire 1t was decided that no service
pension legislation should be enacted
at this session of congress.
Representative Calderhead, the Kan
sas member of the committee. was
asked today whether there was any
truth in the reported decision of the
president and Mr.. Sullaway, and re-
piled that there was no truth whatever
in the rumor. Mr.. SullaWaY has au-
thorized me to say that the story is
absolutely without foundation said
Calderhead said that he personally
believed a service pension bill would
be re3orted. There is no change in
the situation from a month ago, SO far
as I can see" he said. A month ago
Mr. Calderhead said he was of the
opinion that a general service pension
bill would be reported to the house at
this session of congress, and he is of
the same opinion still.

ton in congress have united in an
appeal to the house committee on war

The bill provides for the extension

now ready to take advantage of the
former law, but is barred owing to the
time limit A hearing will be given

What Has Become of It.

Now that the spring poets, the spring
buds and the spring birds are at hand
the question arises: What has become
of the Usage county coal trust case,
which went to the supreme court last
fall?
County Attorney Hungate would like
to hear from the case. So would the
people who burn coal. As there will be
no regular jury at the April term of
court it would be a good time to try the
case there, if the supreme court could
hustle a little and arrive at a decision
before hot weather.
