HUNGATE'S NEW MOVE.
County Attorney Quietly Holds In
QUESTION of His Own.

There is unusual activity in joint and
drug store prosecutions at present and
While the police department is doing
nothing the district court, probate
court, sheriff's force, county attorney
and the State Temperance union are all
busily engaged in waging war on the liz
quor sellers.
County Attorney Hungate, who has
had warrants issued in the district court
joint keepers and who reSOrted to new
form of attack by fighting ali replevin
suits brought to regain the liquors and
bars captured by the sheriff, has again
resorted to the system of inquisitions.
County Attorney Hungate did not
herald the fact that he would or that
he had held inquisitions but neverthe-
less early this week Mr.. Hungate de-
cided to hold an inquisition and he quiz
city directed Sheriff Lucas to bring be-
fore him certain witnesses whose names
he gave the sheriff. Sheriff Lucas
brought the witnesses before County
Attorney Hungate and they were ex-
anined as to what evidence they can
give regarding the illegal sales of Ii
quor. So far no warrants have been is
sued as a result of this inquisition but
as it would be impossible to hold an
inquisition without stumbling across
some evidence warrants will likely be
forthcoming.
County Attorney Hungate's inquisi-
tion was held secretly and the names
of the witnesses he examined have not
been divulged but the county attorney
directed his questions especially toward
securing evidence against some lower
Kansas avenue resorts.
The cases brought by Frank H. Fos-
ter, for the State Temperance union IN
the district court have been compile
ted. The last case tried was against
DR.. H. H. Keith, owner of Keith's drug
store. Probate Judge Hayden was call
ed upon, by the prosecution, to testify
that certain persons who had bought
beer and signed the application blanks
had given as the need for using the
beer as stomach trouble. AS these in
valids bought dozen and half dozen bot
tie lots every day or two the prosecu-
tion thought that they were using too
much stomach medicine and that there
fore an injunction should be issued.
Judge Dana, however, refused the in
junction.
Probate Judge Hayden was in the
district court room and heard the evil
dence against Lee Jones, which was
rather damaging. Secretary Dexter filed
a petition in the probate court, imme-
diately after Judge Hayden heard the
| evidence, calling for the reVoking or
| Jones' permit and the same evidence
will be heard by Judge Hayden again,
| this time in his own court.
| Judge Dana has taken the liquor in
| junction cases under advisement and
! will hand down his decisions in all of
| the cases, still pending, in a few days.
Sheriff Lucas has not yet reported
| to Probate Judge Hayden as to the con-
| ditions he found when he visited the
/ drug stores, at the order of Judge Hay
| den to report any evidence of violation
of the law When he does Judge Hay
den will take action on the report.

ELEVEN MEDICS FUNK.
Prospective Doctors Don't Know Much
About BacterioIogy-

Out of 81 candidates who took the
state medical examination at the state
house this week, IL failed to pass. This
is an unusually large proportion, and
the weakness seems to have been prin
cipally in the bacteriology examination.
Some of the applicants made grade of
only 10 out of q possible 100 in bacteri-
ology.
The honor man in the examination
was w. o. Thompson of Dodge City,
whose general average was SO. Mr..
Thompson did not fall below 80 in any
branch. The more important branches
covered by the examination were anat-
omy and histology, chemistry, obstetrics
and gynecology, materia medica and
therapeutics, pathology, bacteriology,
theory and practice, physiology and
surgery.
The candidates who failed to pass will
be given another chance. They will be
granted temporary certificates until
next October when they must again
present themselves for examination be-
fore the state board. Some of those who
took the examination say that the state
board gives a much more severe ex-
animation that that given by the medi-
cal colleges for Graduation.

HE'LL DIG A CIsTERN.
Young Man in Fashionable Attire
Undertakes the Task.

Clad in the latest creation of the
tailor's art, with immaculate linen, a
tie that represented the latest import
ing, and the whole ensemble climax
of fashion, young man entered the
office of Tom Anderson at the Com
mercial club rooms and applied for
work-a job as a farm hand!
The major cleared his throat in an
effort to spar for a little more time
to gather his scattered wits, and
finally managed to gasp that he was
very sorry but there was nothing of
that character listed, but if he cared
to apply at the state employment
agents office Gerow might be able to
take care of him. The young man
had scarcely left the Office when
farmer appeared and asked the
major if he had any farm hands
81 have got just the thing for you"
said the major; "a young man left
here just this minute to go over to the
state house. I'll catch him by phone
If you just wait"
The major found the young man,
and in a short time the immaculate
one put in his appearance at the Com
merciaI club.
.'This mans got a job for you."
The Topeka state journal., 1905-07-14

briefly explained Anderson to the
young man. "AH right" said the lat
ter, and the two, the farmer and the
young man, started to haggle over the
wages.
'Can you work?'' asked the farmer
obviously as he viewed the clothes
of the gentleman from the east

youth; 81 have got muscle of IRON"

"One dollar and half a day and

'WelI, I am your huckleberry,"
came the quick rejoinder.
'-If you show up pretty well on that

steady job this fall as a farm hand"
said the farmer.
Whats the figures %
''Well, I can't pay s1.50 day, but
I will pay you about $25 or $50 a
month and board"
''That looks pretty good to me- I
guess I will hitch right up with you"
was the satisfied answer which the
impromptu cistern digger gave.
when will you be ready? % asked
the farmer.

to the Hotel Throop with you and we
will get my grip" said the newly en-
gagged farm hand.
This capped the climax. Major
Anderson went into cataleptic state,
and the farmer climbed into his
wagon in a blue daze, pinching him
self to know whether he was or had
been.
The young man didn't give his
name, but simply stated that he was
from Ohio.
