towns, and without regard to the
division of said counties into COM
missioners' districts, into not to ex-
coed Is road districts.
1t is proposed to amend section 8
so as to provide that where any
road and bridge improvement is
necessary that will incur an ex-
penditure of over $3.50 it shall be
done by contract, let TO the lowest
and best bidder on plans prepared
by the county surveyor; calls for
bids to be made by advertising In
the county official paper.
A provision is to be added to
section s for the holding of an
election in each of the road districts
for supervisors, which shall take
place on the first Saturday in
October of each year, between the
hours of 2 and 5 o'clock p, M.
The road supervisor shall be res
ident and taxpayer of the district
and shall hold office for one year.
1t is also provided that at the
annual election the voters shall levy
by ballot the amount of special tax
desired for road work during the
year, which shall not be less than
one mill on the dollar nor more than
ten mills.
Iii proposed to amend section IA
SO that the supervisors will be re-
quired to meet with the board of
county commissioners on the first
Tuesday in March of each year and
outline the road improvements to
be made.
BY adding to section II it is made
the duty of the supervisor to employ
the resident taxpayers of his dis.
trict in preference to any others to
perform the work required.
The compensation fixed for work
on roads is as follows: All persons
employed by the supervisors in
working on the roads and bridges
shall receive compensation of 20
cents per hour for each man and at
the rate of 40 cents per hour for

WOULD HELP DEVLIN.
Coal Company Employees May Pay $40
Each to Assist Him.

Pittsburg, Kan. July 29.-Miners en-
ployed by the Mount Carmel Coal COM
pany have not forgotten the strike of
1893, when c. ]. Devlin of Topeka was
the first operator to recognize the union.
To return the favor novel plan to help
him out of his present troubles IS being
agitated among them. They propose
that all of the miners employed in the
various mines belonging to the Devlin
interests pay $40 each into a fund to
go toward putting Devlin upon his feet
again They have so much faith in Dew
lin that they believe they would get
the money back again, or at least have
him back at the head of the work once
more. The Devlin mines are scattered
over Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Iowa
and the combined force of employees is
large.

CALLS 1T JEALOUSY.
Light superintendent Thinks There Is
No Electrical Graft.

Councilman L. A. Ryder of the First
ward says, with regard to the charge
made by one of the prominent council
men that there is lobbying in connec-
ton with the effort to award the con-
tract for new enclosed arc lamps to the
Warner Electric company: 1.-The coun-
Gilman who made those charges should
either back UP his statements with
proofs or lay down and keep quiet. If
he can't prove those charges he should
be compelled to make a public apology
to the members of the council. I know
of no grating or irregularities in con-
nection with the matter"
superintendent Goodrich of the city
electric light plant said: 'That simply
looks to me as if it were a quarrel be-
tween the two committees; a case of
jealousy. AS far as I am concerned
the whole question as to which is the
better proposition can be settled in a
very short time. 1 can make a prac-
tical test that will settle the dispute.
If they give me permission to place
100 lamps of the Warner make on
one of the circuits it will soon demon
strate whether their claims are good
or not If they are going to fall down
in their contract that will show it up
in mighty short order. The Warner
people are willing for me to make a
test of this nature. 1t would be a
practical and reliable test

TAFT LEAVES TOXIC.
Party Will Spend the Night at Kyoto
Before Sailing.

Toxic, July 1880 p. m-Secre-
tary Taft and party left for Kyoto by
special train this evening, amid most
enthusiastic send-off from all the dis
tinguished parties connected with the
court and the civil and military and
naval departments, also from the
bankers and other mercantile repre-
sentatives. In fact all the typical rep
resentatives of the city who had re-
ceived the party upon its arrival, again
assembled at the Shimbashi railway
station. The ladies' relief association

Among the delegates of the association
was Madame Togo, wife of the great
admiral, whose quiet unostentatious
manner attracts no small attention, as
rejecting the prominent characteristics
of her distinguished husband
Hearty cheers and banzais were
Joined in by usually undemonstrative
men of rank and position, as the train
pulled out of the station. Long before
the hour of departure the streets near
the station were lined with delegates
from the different sections of the city,
holding high lanterns bearing their
respective marks.
1t is seldom that any foreign party
has received so brilliant and hearty q
Send-off as that accompanying Secre-
tary Taft and another visit from it is
anticipated with great delight. The
feeling that more could not be done to
entertain the party, owing to the short
ness of its stay, is universal.
Secretary Taft and party will spend
a night at Kyoto, where the steamer
will be taken for Kobe.

GET LANDS BACK.
White Men Sued in Federal Court
Fraud Is Charged.

Suit was commenced in the federal
court this morning by the United
States district attorneys office against
J. H. Lynds, William Banks, William
Ogden, George Hall, V. B. Sheppard,
James Bliss, James Hatfield, Daniel
Ogden and R. H. Lynds.
The defendants in the suit are all
settlers in Brown and Doniphan coun-
ties who have formal leases of the
Indian lands. A formal lease is made
with the Indian direct, and not with
the sanction of the government agent
as the law directs, and usually the IN
dian receives small remuneration.
These lands are known as the Iowa
lands and are owned by the Sac and
Fox and Kickapoo tribes, and are
very valuable as they consist of many
thousands of acres of the best farm
ing land in the state. About 1000
acres are now Illegally held by right
of these formal leases. 1t is to restore
these lands to their rightful owners
and enioin further leases or occupancy
that this case is brought.

ASSASSIN'SWORK
Unknown Man Found at Silver
Lake Murdered.
Three Bullets Found in His
Brain.

Coroner H. H. Keith is now thorough
" satisfied that the man found dead be-
side the Union Pacific track near Silver
Lake Friday morning was murdered.
He reached this conclusion after per-
forming an autopsy last night, and dis
covering three bullets in the brain of
the dead man. Any one of the three
would have caused instant death, as
they passed entirely through the brain
and lodged against the skull in the
back of the head The mysterious part
of the find was made this morning, when
the bullets were closely examined, and
proven to be of different calibres. 1t
was noticed that one bullet was smaller
than the other two. and upon weighing
them on prescription scales, it was
found that two bullets were 38 Smith
and Wesson ammunition, and the third
a 50 calibre Colts bullet, of the cupped.
or. expanding type. This was proven
conclusively by comparing it with
Colts bullet taken from cartridge for
the purpose The smaller bullet weigh
ed Sc grains and the others Isl grains
The indications point to murder,
committed with a 81 calibre revolver
using Colt cartridges, followed by an
attempt to cover up the crime, nring
two more shots into the head of the
corpse at short range, from the dead
Sheriff Lucas can reach no other con-
clusion. DR.. Keith found but two holes
in the scalp of the corpse, but the skull
was crushed more around one hole than
the other. The explanation would be
that the first shot was made by the
expanding Colts bullet and that the
muzzle of the SO calibre was pressed
against the wound to destroy the mark.
No one has been able to identify the
dead man. Under Sheriff John Lucas
was in Silver Lake today subpoenaing
witnesses and investigating the case. IL
was reported that the station agent at
Menoken loaned tramp a lead pencil
to write a note Thursday evening. The
agent has been notified to come in and
view the corpse.
w. H. Smith, a farmer who lives on
the Howell farm, five miles north of
Silver Lake, saw the body this morning,
and said that he thought the deceased
might be railroader known as Mex"
who worked on the cutoff grade last
spring. Mr. Smith will show a photo
graph of the dead man to some of the
foremen on the grade.
The crew of U. P. freight No. 154, the
train which first found the body and
notified Coroner Keith, has been sub
poenaed to appear Monday at 1 o'clock,
when an inquest will be held.
No trace of the revolver which the
train crew reported as lying beside the
dead man has been found.

MORE WARL|KE.
Russian Government Is Being
Urged by the Newspapers
To Reject the Demands of the
Mikado's Empire.
ONLY AN ARMISTICE
Is Possible IF Peace Terms Are
Correctly Reported.
Fault Is Found With Taft S
Visit to Japan.

st. Petersburg, July 29.-The tenor
of the Russian press grows more war
like as the peace conference draws
nigh and the government on all sides
is urged to reject the demands at the
cost of continuing the war.
Peace on the Japanese terms as
outlined by Mr. Sato," says the Russ,
which is the first paper to comment
seriously on the Sato interview, "can
only be an armistice."
The Russ which has now the largest
liberal following thinks the japanese
demands far from moderate and sees
little chance for the conference ending
successfully, if the Japanese position
has been correctly stated.
The Sviet continues its fault finding
with the "tactlessness'' of the visit of
Secretary of War Taft and Miss Roose-
velt to Japan while the United States
is the host of the peace plenipoten-
tiarieS.
