William Manly Justifies Himself by
Saying She Stayed Out Late.

William Manly, who lives at 306 Monroe

at her, but said she stayed out nights and
needed to be shot at. He also accused
her of running bills at different stores and
leaving them for him to pay for.
Mrs. Manly complained that her hus-
band abused her, and besides shooting at
her took $500 of her money.
The Manlys are old married folks, have
a grown son and ought to know better.

Kansas Cannot Prevent 1t Being Sent
From the State.

Kansas City, June 6.-Judge William
Thompson, who was for several years a
district judge in Kansas, but is now a
practicing attorney here, says the state

try it and some lawyers have advised
that they can.

turn their attention to finding more gas
rather than in expanding their energies
in the vain attempt to bind by law any
ject of commerce, and thus keep it
within the state wherein it was discov-
cred.
Gas placed in a pipe for transporta-
ton TO another state is as much under
the exclusive jurisdiction of congress
in the exercise of legislation concerning
Interstate commerce as any other COM
modify which may be transported. It
is really a wonder to me that lawyers,
all of whom should know better, en-
courage the people to believe that state
legislation can avail to prevent trans
portation of gas across the state line,
for sucn matter has already been de-
cided by the highest tribunals and is
no longer an open question.
1.-The principle was decided long
ago in Kansas itself when its supreme
court in the case of state against
Saunders reported in the Nineteenth
Kansas. decreed that inasmuch as no
state can pass a law (whether con-
gress has already acted upon the sub
ject or not) which viii directly inter-
fere with the free transportation from
one state to another, or through a
state, of anything which is or may be
a subject of Interstate commerce, it
follows that a law allowing prairie
chickens to be killed, and thereby be-
come a subject of commerce, but pro-
hibiting their transportation to any
other state, is unconstitutional and
void. Had the law forbidden the
catching and killing. of prairie chick
ems and thereby indirectly preventing
their expectation, the law might have
been valid.

have to kill the goose which lays the
golden egg to prevent the egg from

Then, again, the state of Indiana, in
1889, passed just such law as the
people of the Sunf1ower state now de-

for the further reason that they are
impressed with the fact that the period
has arrived in the states history, when
it should have some distinctive recog-
milton by the Republican party.
In 1860 it stood near the bottom
of the list of states and territories in
population and wealth, but since then
it has made such rapid strides that it
passed upward from the thirty-eighth
place to the tWenty-seventh, has out
stripped in its growth such states as
West Virginia, Maine, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and
Vermont, and is ahead of twenty-five
other states and territories in the
American union. For thfrty-seven
years it has been a state in the Amer
lean republic, yet 1t has never been
recognized by the national Republican
party in any substantial way. The
other states of the union have, at
some time or other, all been recog-
nized by some high elective or APP
pointfve Office 1t would take a whole
catalogue to name the persons from
such states as New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and Iowa
who have been justices of the supreme
court, United States circuit judges,
members of the cabinet, or foreign
ambassadors. No other state in the
union of the age, size, wealth and
population of the state of Nebraska

button of party favors-

the Republican party went on valiantly
fighting its battle without asking any
special assistance or recognition at the
hands of the national Republican par
ty. In the campaign Of 1900, the Re
publican party brought the state back
into the Republican column without
asking any special assistance or recog-
milton on the ground that it was a
doubtful state but fought it's political
battles on principle and out of a sense
of duty.
In the political warfare that has
gone on in the state of Nebraska for
the last ten years against the vagaries
of Popullism and the teachings of Will
liam Jennings Bryan, no man has done
stronger and more earnest and contfn-
uouS self-sa crihcing work than John
Lee Webster, and no man is entitled to
more credit than he for bringing the
state back to the Republican household.
What we now ask is but a proper
recognition of his services. We ask it
not only on his account but because
we believe the Republican party of the
state of Nebraska is entitled to re-

can party

The little home where Marion and

we were up, and dragging the long
chains of violets from the wet moss
where they had been packed, We were
looping them through the faint-lit
room. 1t was an old fashioned room,
a rather plain room, in fact, but we

The Nebraska delegation argues that

while nearly all other states have at
tanned some of these honors.
AS a matter of course Mr.. Webster
is native of Ohio. He was born in
Harrison county in the buckeye state

Colonel Younghusband's Letter Is Re-

The present intention of THE Thibe-

thousands of people, who occupied
every advantageous point of view
within several blocks of the State

cheer after cheer in appreciation.
The pyrotechnics were signalized
with the firing of the bomb batteries
which broke loose shortly after half
past 10. Red and green fire was
started on all sides of the dome and
the Roman candle squad at the lower
tier of windows began their part of
the melee. In few minutes after the
men got warmed up to their work the
show was in full blast.
The discharge of mines, bombs,

for miles especially towards points
