Some Court Methods.

Congcstcd Courts and special
Judges are making Courts and Court
practices too common. Tho feeling
Of intelligent laymcn will soon
reach the point of contempt. Law
ycrs are to blame with long drawn
out cases. If one will listen care
fully to The examination aud cross
examination Of an immatcrial witness
he will hear at astounding number
OF unnecessary questions. What The
lawyers need is a school wherein they
may learn how to examine Il witness
and get essential facts by Il few qucs-
tlons. AZ times a truthful witness
will make clear statement Of the
facts bearing on case aud tell all he
knows. There will follow long Sc.
rics OF questions that tend TO con
fuse the witness and obscure the
truth. Then when four lawyers in
sisL on speaking on n small case in
volying little money and not touch
ing the character Of the litigants, il
is very absurd. Whatis is needed is Il
Judge who will restrict the time al
allowed for argument. Intelligent
jurors who are honest are not in
ilucnccd by these long arguments.

INSURANCE IS ALL GOOD.
Topeka City Policies Not Impaired by
Baltimore Fire.

IN order to determine whether the in
surance on the buildings owned by the
city or Topeka has been affected in any
way by the Baltimore fire, in which
case additional insurance would have
to be taken, City Clerk Squires sent out
yesterday % copies of the following let
ter to all local agents who have writ
ten insurance on any city buildings:
As some Of the fire insurance com
pan1es- that you represent are now car
ry1ng insurance on city property and
as number of companies have lost
heavily in the recent fire at Baltimore
L would be pleased to know at your
earliest convenience if you consider the
companies that were carrying heavy
insurance at Baltimore and are now
carrying insurance on city property
here are in your opinion perfectly
safe.''
Replies have been received to about al
third of these inquiries and the general
opinion of the insurance men seems to
be that there is no trouble with the
Insurance carried on the city build
ings.
One insurance man says: ''The only
companies which have been affected
by the Baltimore fire are the Firemen's
OF Baltimore and the Greenwich The
former has insured its Kansas risks
with the Providence of Washington.
and the latter with the Commercial
Union, both of which are perfectly sol
vent. If the city is insured only in
companies legally entitled to do BUSH
ness in this state, I think there is no
question but what it is amply pro-
tected.''
Another insurance man says: "The
Liverpool, London and Globe lost ST.
100000 at Baltimore, but it has assets
OF 100000 and the surplus of 81, 500, 900,
so it is not affected"
Another says: 1.-The Phoenix and
North British Mercantile both of Lon
don, sent funds here from London to
settle these fire losses so the American
resources are not crippled in the least. -
The agent for the Commercial Union
says that his company drew on London
for $450,000 to pay its Baltimore loss,
and it is not crippled at ALL
1t is evident that the city of Topeka
is not going to take any risks with its
own property in the present crisis. Ii
is going to see to it that all the city
| property is properly protected.

WARNING FROM BELOIT.
A Few Remarks About T. T. Kelly's
Actions.

The Be1oit Daily Call publishes the
following:
Frank Grimes somewhat tardy and
labored defense of Thomas T. Kelly is
one of the very funny things that this
remarkable Republican state campaign
has so far produced. AS a matter of
fact the rank and file of the Republican
voters have soured on Kelly, and sue
cesSive attempts to endorse him in their
several county conventions of late have
been received with derision In Repub-
lie county, on Saturday, the man who
helped to raise the assessment of either
real or personal property in nearly
every county in the state except his
own, and those of the other two mem
bers of the state board of equalization,
was present, but the convention that
was being held, refused to hear him,
and sent delegation to Wichita OPP

county on the same day an attempt
to rush a resolution through, in it's
county convention, endorsing all the
state officers who are candidates for re-
nomination and reelection. created such
disturbance that it was finally knock
ed out. What we want the Republican
party to do is to try and be honest in
its actions, and we distinctly affirm that
in turning down a decent and honest
man, as politicians go, like Governor
Bailey, and endorsing one like Kelly
who has always sought office for per-
sonal revenue reasons, they are not act
I'VE know it to be a positive fact
that there is widespread riscontent-
and it is. not unknown in Mitchell coun-
ty-am5ng good, square, honest Repub-
licans, in regard to Kelly's course as a
state officer, apart from his previous
unsavory reputation, and it won't
down, however much the bosses may
seek to keep it from rising to the sur
face
THE gentleman in question is proba-
bly, headed this way, and it is just
possible that he will be in Beloit this
week For this reason the Call writes
this article as a warning, which it
would be as well for the local Repub-
licans to take to heart, that if they
continue to countenance politicians
whose names are inseparably and eter-
naIly linked with transactions of a
shady and unworthy nature then all
their talk about going through a re-
filming process, and having all the inn
purities separated from the true metal
in transit, cannot be taken otherwise
than q travesty of such transmutation,
rather than anything that is genuine
in it's intent or purpose"

JAPANESE HANGED.
Russians Caught Them Trying to
Blow Up Railroad Bridges.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24-The ,Japa-
nese who were hanged by Russians in
Manchuria for attempting to blow up
the railroad bridge over the Sagarf
river were disguised as coolies. They
were arrested just as they were about
to make the attempt. Inquiry revealed
that they were Japanese officers of the
general staff, namely, Col. ASSaSi of
the engineers, and Lieutenants Zone
loiascha and Kaeurta of the sappers.
They were at once hanged from the
girders of the bridge.
The newspapers of Port Arthur
dated February 4 reached ST. Peters,

Military men desiring to accompany

PANIC AT PINeYANe.
First Important Battle Likely to Be
Fought There.

London, Feb. 24--Cabling from Che
foo a correspondent of the Morning
Post says 10000 more japanese troops
have landed at Chemulpo, and that he
has received confirmation of the re-
port that some japanese have landed
at Pigeon bay, others at Talienwan,
and that an engagement occurred the
night of February IL.
The correspondent at Seoul of the
Daily Mail reports a panic at Ping
yang, Korea, which is regarded as her
aiding the approach of the opposing
armies.
According to the Standards CORE
Spondent at Seoul the japanese bonn
barded Port Arthur at intervals be-
tween the 9Th and 14th of February,
causing however only slight damage.
The report is confirmed, this CORE
spondent continues, that 20 miles of
bridges have been destroyed between
Hardin and Vladivostock.
If the latter report is true, it would
be a great advantage for the japanese,
as Vladivostock is known to be very
badly supplied and it therefore could
not long resist japanese attack.
There is still, however, no news of
actual operations of any kind.
Special dispa tcheS from st. Peters
burg give various sensational reports
of a political nature. The Telegraph,
for instance, says the Russian govern
ment has ordered its ambassador at
Constantinople to obtain the permits
sion of the porte for the exit of the
Black sea fleet, but Zinovieff, the am
bassador, declined to make this re-
quest and was able to give the Russian
foreign Office reasons for his refusal
A correspondent of the Times at Wei
Hal Wei says he hears that all the
mechanics at Port Arthur, Dalny and
Vladivostock are Chinese, and that it
is impossible for the Russians to re-
pair their damaged warships.
In a dispatch from Toxic a CORE
spondent of the Times says some hun
dreds of Cossacks reached Chenju, 30
miles south of the Yalu river, the af-
ternoon of February 20. Thirty troop
ers crossed the river at Kazan the
same evening. thus arriving within "A
miles of Pingyang. Korea. It is under
stood the japanese diet will meet the
middle of March for the introduction OF
war budget.
The rumor that the Russian Vladi-
vostock squadron has again put to sea
lacks confirmation.
