Sec. COBURN
DECLINES HONOR,

Topeka, Kansas, June H.
The governor is in receipt of the
acceptance of the appointment as
U. S. Senator, from A. w. Benson.
of Ottawa. Secretary Coburp,
who was first named to gil the
vacancy, filed his declination with
the governor Saturday, and
Governor Hoch Immediately
named Judge Benson for the place.
The new U. S. senator for
Kansas is an old soldier, man of
about 80 years of age, who stands
high in the community in which
he lives. He announces that he
will be a candidate before the
legislature the coming winter for
election for the six years term.

and The CORPORATIONS SCORE.

We we're inclined to give gov
ernor Hoch some credit for
political acumen when he ap-
pointed Secretary Coburn to the
position so long disgraced by J.
4. Burton. We thought he had
shown, by the act, that he was
willing a representative of the
better, interests of the state
should 60 to Washington. But
it appears that the whole scheme
has been thought out carefully,
and that the makers of the repub-
lican state ticket-the railroads
and corporations-.have scored in
the senatorial matters also.
Judge Benson, the appointee, was
doubtless selected for the honors
when Coburn was appointed, the
power knowing that it would
be made apparent to Mr.. Co.
burnithat there was no chance of
his election to the regular term,
andthat therefore he would de.
cline. Mr.. Benson is said to have
been a power against the state oil
refinery, showing that he was a
good man for the Standard Oil
interests; and good for the Stan
dard means good for the rail.
roads and all kindred corpora
lions. The "sinews of war" will
be the most forthcoming with a
man like Benson in Washington,
and we anticipate that there will
be little opposition to Benson in

party which is under the man.

attorneys are deprived of their
power to hold inquisitions" and
eaxmine witnesses in regard to
their knowledge of violations of
the prohibitory laws according to
an opinion handed down by the
supreme court Saturday. The
case in which the decision is
rendered is one instituted by f..
D. Mikesell, assistant attorney
general for Wilson county.
Mikesell issued a subpoena COM
handing B. F. Carter, county at.
torney of Wilson, to appear and
testify in regard to violations of
the prohibitory law. The
supreme court has held that Carter
could not be compelled to testify
for the reason that the amend
ment of 1901 to the general
statuets Of 1897 is invalid for the
reason that the compilation of
laws known as the General
Statutes of 1897" has not been
authenticated according to law
has not been adopted by the
legislature in a constitutional
manner, and that the laws contain
ed in the compilation are therefore
not to be regarded as the general
statutes of Kansas.

REPORT ON THE
SMOOT MATTER.

Washin gton, June 1.-THE
majority report of the. committee
on privileges and elections was
presented today. after an investi-
cation lasting two years. The re-
port says that Smoot is not emit
tied to a seat in the senate, and
contains the following:
In the judgement of this com.
mittee Senator Smoot is no more
entitled to a seat in the senate
than he would be if he were in
polygamous cobabitation with a
plurality of wives. The more
deliberated the testimony was
taken and considered during the
Investigation, the more irresistab-
ly it leads to the conclusion that
the facts as stated in the protest
are true, and that Smoot is one of
a self perpetuting body of men
kown as the first presidency and
twelve apostles of the Mormon
church, that these men control
the members of the church in all
things temporal and spiritual, and
that this authority is exercised to
encourage the practice of
polygamy in defiance of the laws
of Utah; that the first presidentcy
controls the political affairs of
Utah and have effected their
union of church and state contrary
to the constitution of the United
States: that Smoot comes here not
as an accredited representative of
Utah, but as the choice of an
hierarchy which. has usurped the
functions of the state of Utah.
The minority report states that
Smoot is not a polygamist, and
hence is entitled to his seat.
After the report was read Chair.

would call it up for action as soon

THE F|REMEN'S
Spring CARNIVAL.
The Shows We're a Success and the
People Well Pleased.
A FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

While the Fire Company has
not yet been able to straighten up
all matters pertaining to the Car
nival week, they have progressed
far enough to know that the affair
was a success in every respect.
There are still some pledges on
the bonus money which have not
been paid, but they feel that those
who pledged assistance will
willingly come up to their prom
ises, and leave a neat sum in
the treasury of the company.
Praise of the Parker Amuse-
ment Co. is heard on every hand.
The shows the company furnished
were all clean, interesting and
orderly. The gentlemen in
charge of the different attractions
were at all times courteous and
accommodating, and even the
concession men-those who con-
Quoted the stands and booths
were of a better class than is gen.
orally found conducting such
business.
With the thousands of people
who were on the streets every
afternoon and evening. some ex-
pected that there would be roudy-
ism and unpleasantness; but such
was not the case, and our citizens
are to be congratulated upon the
way our visitors and our town
people conducted themselves.
The city received about $50 in
license fees over the licenses for
the various shows and concessions
Of the Parker Co., and the Fire
men policed the city for the week
without expense to the city.
Up to the present time a state
ment of the financial results is as
follows,
