A. S. Brecht.
"The Mountain Labored and
Brought Forth a Mouse" The
Law and Order party has met and
nominated a ticket that insures
the reelection of Mayor Lindstrom
and very probably the entire Cit
liens ticket.
The Law and Order caucus was
called to order in the city council
loom promptly at 8 o'clock Mon
day evening by Chairman Cross.
Over 200 were present, a majority
of whom were apparently drawn by
curiosity rather than with any in
tent of taking part, as was seen by
the only ballot taken, in which but
| &C votes were cast.
There was a noticeable lack of
| enthusiasm such as might reason
ably have been expected in view of
the amount of dissatisfaction eNa
pressed over the platform adopted
and methods used at the Citizens
caucus Whatever plan, or slate,
that had been arranged, it was
plain that but few of those present
had been taken into confidence,
with the inevitable result that at
times the gathering resolved itself
into free for all jawfest that
somehow reminded one of an erst-
! while Populist convention.
The first business was the ap-
pointment of w. w. Anstie and
Jesse F. Murphy as tellers, after
agreeing to decide contests by bal
lot. Then Attodney E. J. Carey
placed r. N. Moody in nomination
for mayor in eulogistic speech.
This was seconded by Judge Pear
son, who acted major domo for the
occasion and Mr.. Moody was nom
mated by acclamation. Evidently
this action was taken without con-
sultation of Mr.. Moody, as he pos
itively declines the nomination.
For clerk, the house without
dissenting voice, favored the en-
dorsement of Peter F. Clark, the
popular present incumbent and
nominee on the Citizens ticket.
The selection of a candidate for
treasurer afforded the only excite
ment of the evening, and OCCASION
ed some differences as regarded
parliamentary law. J. c. Smith
moved the endorsement of Roy c.
Sargent, and DR.. Schumacher
nomination. An aye and nay vote
on the nomination of White was
uncertain, and division was call
ed for. This drew out running
debate, germane and otherwise to
the question, contention being
made that ballot should be taken
to decide whther the caucus would
nominate White or endorse Sar-
gent. Mr.. Sargent was present, and
in order to relieve the situation,
asked that his name be withdrawn
but this proposal was loudly re-
jected, and there is small room for
doubt that had the question been
put, the house would have been
found in favor of his endorse
ment. The nomination Of Sargent
was declared out of order, and the
contention Of Judge Pearson, that
White being the only name pre-
sented for nomination, one vote for
him would be sufficient to place his
name on the ticket, was accepted
by the chair, and White was de-
clared the unopposed nominee.
During a lull in the wrangle over
the nomination Of treasurer, Jesse

Made Member of Association of Amer
lean Law Schools.

At the annual session of the Associa-
ton of American Law Schools held
last week at Narragansett Pier, R. l..
Washburn college was admitted to
membership in the association. APP
plication for membership was made by
three law schools, the University of Ne
braska, the school of law of Trinity
college, North Carolina, and by the
Washburn law school. All three ap
plications were granted by the associa-
ton which is a department of and
conducted in connection with the
American Bar association.
The admission of the Washburn
school of law into the association will
not bring any advantages or privileges
to the school but will only give it a
better standing among other colleges.
ut only means that our course of
study has been examined and has been
found to be satisfactory said Mr..
Greenwood, a trustee of the college.
1.-THE association has Investigated our
requirements for admission and our
curriculum which they consider suf-
ficientIy equal in standing with the
other schools as to entitle us to mem
bership in the association. We expect
a good attendance at the law school
this fall and all the reports bear us
out in this respect

Fort Scott. Kan. Aug. 2s.-Ex-Rep-
resentative Jonathan Davis of this
county, who was swindled out of $4,000
by the notorious Buckfoot gang in a
fake foot race that was pulled off in
Webb City about four years ago, was
awarded judgment in the federal court
yesterday afternoon in the sum of
$6,216, inclusive of interest. The judg-
ment stands against ]. P. Stewart, cash
Ter of the Exchange bank of Webb
City, and against the bank as a cor
poration. Stewart was accused of be-
ing in league with the gang of swind-
Iers in Webb City, and also he made
representations that had their infiu-
ence with victims who were taken
there to be robbed Sc Moss, a
Texas sport, who was victimized. out of
$4,000 in practically the same man
ner as was Davis, was given Judgment
for $22,740, inclusive of interest. The
case will now go to the United States
court of appeals in st. Louis. tt was
tried before Judge Mcpherson in Jop-
lin and the taking of testimony con-
sumed three days. It was started last
Monday. Mr.. Padgett stated this morn
ing that he did not believe the circuit
court of appeals would reverse the
case.

THEY BROKE THE BANK.
Three Negroes Got Only. $3.50 and a
Charge of Burglary.

George Arthur, Will Waggener and
Len Williams, three young negroes,
were arrested Sunday morning on a
charge of burglary.
The negroes. it is alleged, went into
Bill Griffith's barber shop on East
Fifth street, and stole a small savings
bank containing $3.50. After the theft.
Waggener, who is employed as porter
in the barber shop and carried a, key,
went to Gfiffith's home and told him
that the shop had been burglarized dur
ing the night.
Upon examination Griffith found that
the back door had been forced to give
the appearance of burglary, but that
the lock had been broken from the in
side. Waggener was accused, and gave
away his assistants on the job. The
savings bank was broken open with a
hatchet and left in the shop after the
money had been extracted. The trio
were turned over to the state.
