AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN.

The legislature has added to the
trials and troubles of the county
commissioners throughout Kansas.
A law was passed last week max
ing it the business of the county
commissioners to vacate townsites
when sufficient showing is made,
if in their judgment it is the wise
thing to do. At present that duty
devolves upon the legislature and
it has gotten many representatives
and senators into trouble. For that
reason, primarily, the solons saw
fit to throw the responsibility on
the commissioners in the respective
counties, although the reason given
on the floors Of the house and sem
ate was that these matters consume
too much of the legislatures valu-
able time.

SrATEHoOD-pERHApS.

The U. S. senate last week pass
ed the bill granting statehood to
Oklahoma and New Mexico by an
almost unanimous vote. A rider
was tackled on giving Oklahoma
prohibition for a period of 21 years.
This feature has enraged the poll
ticians of Oklahoma and they are
going to put up a fight in the house.
Many of them declare that they
would rather have a territorial gov
eminent all their lives without pro-
hibition than to have statehood
with it.
The bill is now in the hands of
conference committee selected from
both branches of congress where
the prohibition clause may be elm
mated, although the temperance
people are fighting hard to retain
it, with chances greatly in their
favor. The conference may also
eliminate New Mexico before they
get through. Arizona has no
chance to get in at this session.

ROBERT HAMILTON HURT.

On Monday afternoon Robert
Hamilton had runaway and was
thrown out of his buggy and very
severely bruised about the face and
head. The team got the better of
Mr.. Hamilton on Kansas Avenue
in front of the Index office when
he started home. When they turn
ed north on Walnut street chunk
of ice kicked up by one of the hors-
es struck the other, which started
them into a run, and at the foot of
the hill they turned east and ran
into Capt. Titus north fence, throw
ing Mr.Hami1ton against post and
on the ground. 1t rendered him un-
conscious for awhile but as soon us
he gained sufficient control of his
mind to realize his condition he
walked up town as far Lindley's
Office where he again tainted. By
this time a crowd had gathered
and he was assisted into DR.. Ko-
cielrs office where his wounds were
dressed. An examination revealed
no broken bones and DR.. Kociell
says there are no serious internal
injuries.
Mr.. Hamilton's adopted son was
with him, but he was thrown out
of the buggy before the team had
gone far and was not hurt. The
team was not injured at all and
there was no damage to the buggy
except broken tongue. Mr.. Ham
ilton is quite we'll along in years
and not very strong at best, and the
accident is very severe on him. He
drives very spirited horses which
is rather risky business for even a
younger and stronger man in ex-
treme weather. He will be remov-
ed to his home east of town today.
We hope to see him up soon.

STATE OIL REFINERY.

The state oil refinery bill passed
the senate last week and there is a
good prospect for its going through
the house this week. 1t was made
a special order for considera-
ton in committee of the whole to-
day. Speaker Stubs is opposed to
it but it is not thought that he can
command sufficient influence to de-
feat it. The Standard Oil Com
pany has threatened to gather up
its doll rags and leave the state if
the refinery is put in but that bluff
has only added fuel to the flames
and served 20 line up some mem
bers who were opposed to it. The
administration tried to defeat the
measure when it came before the
senate but the politicians heard
from the people in such an emphat-
ic tone that most of them subsidized.
The Standard Oil lobby, however,
is still at work and its passage and
signature by the governor are by no
means assured.
