A. W. SMITH DENIES.
Mcpherson Statesman Making Repu-
tation in New Line

A W. Smith of Mcpherson on his
return home sent to Topeka a denial
of the report that he had had a dis
pute with Governor Hoch about the
appointment which Hoch rendered
him. Farmer" Smith very kindly
gives the State Journal the exclusive
credit for printing the story of this
affair, though it appeared in nearly all
the daily papers, including the one in
which his denial was printed.
This story was told to the State
Journal by Captain P. H. Coney, who
is A. w. Smiths particular friend here
in Topeka Smith was with Coney
most of the time during his visit to
Topeka, both before and after his call
upon Governor Hoch. Captain Coney
was told all about the row by Smith
himeslf. Either Smith was mistaken
when he talked to Coney, or was ms
taken when he talked to the newspa-
per man at Mcpherson.
It will be remembered that when
the State Journal printed the story of
the fuss between Hoch and Stubs, all
the Organs" came out with vigorous
denials that there was a particle of
friction. Since then they have all
come around to the State Journal S
version. The State Journal prints the
news.
It now is probable that Governor
Hoch viii allow T. B. Gerow to remain
In the Office of free employment agent.
When the Mcpherson people heard
that Smith had declined the place,
they started a movement to land John
Van Nordstrand in the job. They
talked to Hoch about it over the tele-
phone, and he told them that since
Smith had declined the place, he did
not consider that a vacancy in the
office existed.
Farmer" Smith, in his wrath. I'M
mindfully makes the somewhat self
conflicting statement that there was in
the incident an attempt to bulldoze
and insult me- by the offer of the sub
ordinate position.

MIR, PATTIsoN ON DUTY.
Takes Charge of the Sanitary Depart
ment Today.

J. D. Pattison this morning assumed
the duties of sanitary sergeant in place
of r. P. Pay who failed Of a reappoint-
ment. Pattison is an experienced Off
Ger and served in his present position
while DR.. Peers was city physician and
also when DR.. H. B. HogeDoom was
formerly city physician. The mayor is
thinking somewhat of having the SAM
tary sergeant take charge of the free
employment bureau now maintained in
the office of the Commissioner of cleo
tions.
Mayor Davis is against the plan of
retaining a deputy commissioner of
elections if it is possible to do away
with the office. Under the laE passed
in 1901 the city is obligated to take
care of the free employment bureau
and in case there is a failure to make
provision for the bureau the city clerk
is required to take charge of it. The
bureau however can be handled more
readily in another office and the mayor
thinks that the sanitary sergeant can
probably take care of 1t as well as any
one.
With the employment bureau switch
ed to another department there will be
no excuse for appointing a deputy com
missioner of elections.

Buffalo Jones Files a Complaint at
Washington.

Washington, May buffalo Jones'
chief game warden Of the Yellowstone
National park, plainsman and person
al friend of President Roosevelt, has a
grievance. He has been cruelty wrong
ed. He jOurneyed all the way to
Washington in March to see his
friend inaugurated president, and dur
ing his absence from the park his pet
mountain lion was kidnapped and ship
ped east. Buffalo Jones yearns for his
lion; also for reimbursement for GER
tain pecuniary OUTLAWS to which he
was put as result of the miXup.
These yearnings he has set forth in de-
tail in letter to Secretary Hitchcock
of the interior department. Dthidence
kept him from going direct to his
friend, the president, with his troubles.
But 1t is apparent that he relies on Mr..
Roosevelt's learning of the case and
seeing that justice is done him.
According to Buffalo Jones story
the mountain lion was an unusually
fine animal, and he was strongly at
tached to 1T, because he had captured
st single-handed and with no weapon
save a lasso, several months ago He
was GU ton the reservation, saw the
lion in a tree, IassOed it, pulled it to
the ground. and after rough-and-
tumble fight succeeded in tying 1t up
so he was able to take it back to camp.

IMPORTANT TO BANKERS.
Mr. Kelly Calls Attention to Judge
Smart's Decision.

State Treasurer T. T. Kelly said this
morning that the decision of Judge
Smart at Ottawa last Saturday as re-
ported today in the State Journal, is
one of the utmost Importance to the
bankers of the state.
Judge Smart held" said Treasurer
Kelly, that the money and securities
of banking institution can not be as
sessed at 30 per cent of their value,
while other property is assessed at only
20 per cent. He ordered the county
treasurer to refund to certain taxpay-
ers the sum of $19, 275 "a which had been
overpaid by some of the banks.
This condition is not merely of local
importance. 1t extends throughout the
state. In a great many counties it has
been customary to assess money and Sc
curities held by banks at so per cent,
and all other property at only % per
cent or some similar ratio. Under the
decision which Judge Smart has render
ed, all of these banks will have good
grounds for suit against the county
where the money was Illegally collected.
expect that the decision will result in
a large number of other suits to recover
money from the various counties of the
state"
It is understood that Judge Smart's
ruling will not catch Shawnee county.
The practice of the Shawnee county as
SCISSORS has been to assess all property
of whatever nature on the same basis.

that Randolph could have bought ice from
other concerns in Topeka and Hutchinson
when the Mutual failed to live up to the
