The Supreme Court of Kansas last
week decided an important case for
Rocks county that will be of great in
terest to many towns in Kansas. w.
B. Ham enjoyed the treasurer of
Rocks county from selling for taxes
a tract of land located south of Stock
ton in what was once Woods addition
to Stockton. The legislature of 1895
vacated the addition. Mr.. Ham
bought the tract. S. N. Hawkes., as
attorney for the county, instructed
the treasurer and clerk to make up
the tax roll based on the city levies
Mr.. Ham refused to pay the city tax,
and made tender of the amount
that would be due, based on town
ship, state and school district levies.
The treasurer refused the amount and
advertised the land for sale. Mr..
Ham got permanent injunction
from the district cotrt, but Mr..
Hawkes. appealed to the supreme
court, with the result that the injunc-
ton was. dissolved, and the act of the
legislature vacating Woods addition
to Stockton was declared unconsti-
tutional. Now, if this act is uncon-
stitutional, it is likely that all other
acts of the legislature vacated town
sites and parts of townsites are also
unconstitutional. As this vacating
townsite business has employed
much of the time of legislature since
the boom days of twenty years, ago
this decision will be very far reaching
in its effect in Kansas. -Rnssell

Roberts has been the prince of COM

the inventor of more shots (for use in

superiority over other players.

Kams to the tune of 8 to 1.
There was good crowd present.
The first game was a most interest
ing one. but the second was slow and
ola the whole lifeless.
The Honolulus played ball yesterday,
in places. and are drawing up to the
leaders. who view the rapidly decreas-
ing gap between them and the Reds
with ill-disguised feelings of apprehen-
sion.
After winning yesterdays game, the
Honolulus have a good chance to take
the series and the pennant. Last Sat
urday weeks tie game between the
Rams and the Punahous will be played
off on date yet to be decided.
The Oahus put Rowland a recent
importation from Vallejo, in the box
to pitch. His work was nice and
steady.
Johnny Williams pitched for the Pu-
nahous up to the seventh, when Eddie
Desha was substituted. Williams was

hits were made in the eighth innings
and one run. There would have been
more runs made in this innings If

The score should have been about
two for the Colts. Right Fielder Nc

BRITONS AND
THE TURF

Horse racing has so strong hold on
the average oIt-of door Erglishman that
when Derby Day ceases to be a great
popular festival it may he taken as a
sign that the security Of the empire is
in danger, remarks the London Daily
Express in a leading article. 1t would
be impossible for an. imperial race to
maintain its ascendencv in all regions
and climates if its rank and file had no
vlrlle occupations or pastimes in time
of peace. and in small country like
this, packed with its forty-four millions
of people, these virile conditions of life
can only be continuously assured by the
pursuit of hardy, open-air sports. Row
ing, football, cycling. running and
motoring all have their devotees, whose
sinews are toughened and whose lungs
are expanded by their favorite exercise.
AS for horse racing, it is a sport of an
other kind-one which, as Lord Bea-
consfield recognized, stands alone in
honor with the British public. 1t
would be a mistake to suppose that rae
ing could be eliminated from English
life without any great resultant loss;
and it would be equally wrong to inn
agine that the majority of its follow
ers are either brutal or corrupt. Ger
tain features of the sport are open to
severe condemnation, but these are ex-
crescences on a wholesome body, and
horse racing is by no means the only
institution on which parasites
fatten. The truth is that Englishmen
obtain from racing and other open-air
pastimes the outlet for humanity IS ma

An excursion party bound for the
Manchuria wreck yesterday had some
pililia and lost all interest for some
hours in the stranded steamship, trou-
bles of their own keeping them busy.
The party of four, Skipper Kruse in
charge. sailed in the morning in the
yacht Malolo. Off Diamond Head the
steering gear of the yacht got out of
working order and the little vessel be-
gan to drift towards the Colonies. A
japanese fisherman was hailed and the
yacht taken in tow of a sampan, which
brought her abreast of the harbor late
in the afternoon
Here she had to be set adrift again,
the sampan being unable to tow her in
against the wind. A note was sent in
by the Jap to Young Bros, Will Young
starting out in pursuit of the drifting
yacht with the Waterwitch. The party
was towed in about nine o'clock last
night. being caught up with about half
way to Pearl Harbor.
