ACID THRowER A SUICIDE.
Woman Victim Says c. e. Green Shot
Himself.

IOLA.-C. E. Green was killed here
In the room of Mrs. Joseph Honore,
supposed wife of a travelling man.
Whether he committed suicide or was
killed by the woman is yet to be de-
termined. Mrs. Honore says he threw
carbolic acid in her face, hit her over
the head with whisky bottle and
then shot himself. There were no
powder burns on his face His revol-
yer was found in his room, where Mrs.
Honore says she took it. Her clothing
shows that she had been close enough
to him to get blood stains all over her.
There were no witnesses to the shoot
ing.
Mrs. Honors is severly burned with
caroblic acid. Her head is bruised
where Green hit her with the whisky
bottle. The coroner will hold an in
quest. Green was formerly waiter
in a restaurant but has been out OF
employment for some time. Mrs
Honore is living with Joseph HonOre,
a travelling man. although letters
found in her room indicate that they
had never been married. Honore left
lola Sunday night for Illinois.

NEARLY STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN
Democrats Will Have Few Members
of Kansas Legislature

TOPEKA.-The Republicans claim
thirty-seven of the forty senators.
The three Democrats are Bailie Wag-
gener, w. F. Benson, and George
Hodges. Senator Frank Sponable, of
Johnson, was defeated by Hodges. j. B.
Adams, of Butler, was defeated by w.
F. Benson.
More than half of the new senators
are well known in state politics.
Among the old senators returned were
Porter, Miller. Smith, Fulton, Bus
chow, Fitzpatrick, Simons and Noftz-
ger. Hoffman was a surgeon in the
Twentieth Kansas and Martin was a
major of that regiment. Benedict,
Hayden, Dolly, Peck, Tucker, Griffin,
and Waggener have served in the
house.

Had a Niqh tShirt Parade.

EMPORIA.-The students of the col
1ege celebrated their defeat at the
hands of the Normal with a night
shirt parade through the main streets,
winding up with a serenade in front
of the homes of President Wlikerson
of the Normal and William Allen
White. There were fifty men in the
gang and they gave all the college
yells and a free entertainment on the
streets. The police made no effort to
stop them, as the Normal people made
no attempt to interfere. The streets
were crowded at the time and the pop
ulation is scandalized at the lack of
modeSty shown.

Its platform promises must all be full

Wants 5000 Damages.

SALINA-The Central Kansas Pub
fishing Company. S. Cobb, owner,
and C. M. White, manager-has been
sued in the district court here for
$4,000 damages by Thomas Martin, of

published an article October 81 that
libeled him and hurt his business.
Martin is a travelling solicitor and
issues rural route directories. The
article stated that Martin got the
names of rural route patrons and then
sold them to Eastern mail order
houses.

One Lyon County Courts Test Case OF
The Truancy Law.

One Lyon County Courts Test Case OF
che Truancy Law.
EMPOR1A.-The state truancy law
received the first test in a Lyon coun-
ty court last week, when the Rev. T.
w. Johnson was tried before Justice
Mccain, because he refuses to send
his children to the public schools His
son, Theodore, is IL years old and
never has attended public school, but
has been taught at home by his moth
er. The boy was examined by the
county superintendent some time ago
and found to be lacking in knowledge
for an 11-year-old boy, and the super
intendent decided that the mother was
incompetent to teach him. The jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty. The
court held that a jury can judge the
competency of a teacher. The courts,
ruling in that particular was contrary
to the decision of both the attorney
general, c. c. Coleman, and the state
superintendent, Mr.. Dayhoff, who de-
cided that the county superintendent
and the board of examiners have pow
er to determine the competency of a
teacher.

MANHATTAN.-An J. Mead,
whose death occurred at Yonkers, N.
Y, was a member of the Cincinnati
and Kansas Land company and came
to Kansas in 1855 from Cincinnati on
the steamboat Hartford by way of
the Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and
Kaw rivers. In the same year he
helped to found Manhattan and be-
came it's first mayor in 1857. While
holding the office of territorial SEN
ator in 1858 he was elected state treas
urer. He went to New York in the
early COS, but has always taken great
interest in Manhattan and was a lib
eral giver to the free public library
just built here.

len, where he is reported. is about

len, where he is reported, is about
the same as Cook. To the Repub-
licans it indicates that the whole state
ticket except Walbridge is not far be-
hind Roosevelt They believe the ma
jority of the ballots that went into the
boxes on election day were Republi-
can, and that it was Republican vot-
ing for Folk that beat Walbridge.
Democrats try to figure that possibly a
great many Democrats scratched Cook
and Allen and that the rest of the
state ticket can land.
