The decision of the United States Supreme court confirming the fnd- ing of the United States circuit court in the case of Senator Burton of Kansas, giving him sentence of nine months in jail and to pay fine of $2,500 and dcpriving him the right to holding office hereafter under the government, is entirely satisfactory to the people generally if it does not please the Kansas senator. Like all such grafters Senator Burton fights off to the last hour and moment the execution of his sentence, first by taking an ap- peal from the lower courts, and now asking a rehearing of his case.

The railroads, through certain machine politicians, elected Joseph Ralp Burton to the United States Senate. Burton's leading sponsors knew exactly the kind of man he was and elected him because he was that kind of a man. They did not expect him to bring an open disgrace on Kansas, of course and on them, too-but they expected him to be useful. "- Kansas City Star.

The non-unioa miners, 125 strong marched down tha hill toward the pits under heay, guard. They were greeted by fusil. Jade from the bushes. The bulls,s whizzed among the trees and imbeddes themselves in the coal cars on tb. Cleveland and Pittsburg railway sid. ing. The strike breakers hurried ,o cover. The union men, worried by tba unexpected opening of the mine hu, ried from the settlement and gatherss on the slopes above the mine. Their women folk who were picking up co.l about the pit entrances, were ordered away. After the women had gone here and there from among the bushes sounded the crack of reyolvers The men behind were invisible.
 A correspondent of the Cleveland News, driving into camp, was fired on from ambush outside the headline of the settlement. The bullets went high ! The fact that the hollow in which the mine is situated is heavily over grown with underbrush saved the guards and non-union men from harm as they were almost totally concealed If there is to be an actual battle i. will scarcely be before Thursday night when the non-union men leave tho mine. All preparations are being mads for active hostilities. Two great navy searchlights have been put in place one at the guard tent and the other at the coal tipple in the hollow. They will command three miles of surround. ing territory and are so arranged tha. they cover the sweep of the maxim gun.

TO BE FASTER THAN PATCH.
Moore Would Not Have Sold the Horse,
But For Horses Value.

Mr. Murphy was so anxious to Sc

Sunday forenoon in Columbus he hired
a team and drove to Madison. The
track was wet Monday and the horse
could not show his speed. Yesterday
was scarcely more favorable as only
a short eighth on the outer rim of the
Madison race track was dry. Notwith-
standing this disadvantage he showed
such remarkable form that the sale
was consummated. Mr.. Moore agreed
to show mile on the Madison track,
which is a half-mile ring, in 2:10 and
said he could have done even better
if the rain had held off. In speaking
of the sale Mr.. Moore remarked that
he sold the morse because he had all
his wealth invested in him and If he
had money to stake him in the grand
circuit would never have sold him.
Il could not afford to own him longer"
was his statement when interviewed
Il believe he will go faster than Dan
Patch before he reaches the limit of
his speed, but if he should sprain a

ECHO OF FRED HANS CASE.
Charles e. Lear Sues Brown County
for Pay, as Attorney.

Lincoln Evening News: An echo of
the Fred NJ. Hans murder case, which
has been in the courts for the past
three years, is found in the case of
Charles E. Lear against Brown county,
which has just been appealed to the
supreme court.
In his original petition Lear alleges
that in 1903 he was duly appointed by
the district court OF Brown county to
aid and assist the county attorney of
said county in the trial, preparation
and prosecution of Fred M. Hans, and
that he assisted in the prosecution OF
said case and in a second trial for
murder in 1905.
He brought action in the district
court for the alleged value of these
services and the defendant interposed
a general demurrer, which was over
ruled and judgment entered In behalf
of the plaintiff for the full amount
asked in the petition. From this judg-
ment the county appeals to the su-
preme court
The county bases its resistance of
payment OF the claim upon the fact
that the petition Of plaintiff does not

grounds. For their further safety Mr..
Rockefeller set a guard of armed men
and fierce dogs to patrol the grounds
from sunset until sunrise. "And by
his order, I, myself, provided the trus-

Some of the townspeople laugh at
Achilles stories and chaff him. Said

Achille, drawing a handful of silver
from his pocket. Look at all this
