As the Kansas Farmer Sees Il.

The Kansas City Times Friday
morning published the following
interview with H. A. Heath of
Topeka, one of the publishers of
the Kansas Farmer. under a
Washington date line as indicative
of the strength of W. A. Harris,
the Democratic nominee for
Governor:
| am a Republican" he told
one of the Kansans, but | am 90
ing to vote for Harris, and, mark
my words, the stock interests and,
generally speaking, agricultural
interests of the state will support
his candidacy. We have been
needing a man like Harris for
some time.
l know something about the
conditions in Kansas and don't
think there is any doubt abont the
election of Harris. The Populists
will vote for him just as they did
when he ran for conrgessman-at-
large and the Dem ocrats will sup
port him to a man. There is dis
with Hoch's ADM MIS-
tration and the agricultural popu-
lation is far from satisfied with
the political conditions, especially
in reagrd to the tariff. Topeka

The big difference in the score
does out say that the Heller boys
do not know the game, for they
tried to do their best, but it will
not hurt them if they would have
a little practice at home before
tsckling Olmitz again. Olmitz
had the same luck at Heller just
one week prior to this game.
The pitchers were for Olmitz
Vic. Holm and for Heller H Otte
both of the boys done fine work.
The field work could not have
been better on the Olmitz side,
there were made double plays by
the winners as fine as it could
have been done even by the fam.

A home run hit was made by
one of the Olmitz players. The
biggest score in one inning was
made by Olmitz 5 to Heller 9
While we are giving everybody
his dues we must not forget the

who deserves the credit of being
fair in his decisions not giving

COUNTY WINS SUIT.
Supreme Court Sends Down Decision
in Favor of Tax Sales.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 9.--The supreme court
has affirmed judgment for plaintiff in the
case of Chehalis county against Eugene
France. The county, in December, 1901 !,
filed list with the county clerk Of prop
erty delinquent for taxes of 1895 and
prior years, and some months later gave
summons by publication and foreclosed,
buying in the property. Later it was
discovered that the summons was incor-
rect, and new action was started, and
last year judgment was signed foreclos.
ing the county's lien on the property
Eugene France sought to set aside the
foreclosure decree, claiming that the law
required that proceedings to foreclose
should commence before January l, 1902
The supreme court holds that the filing
OF the list with the clerk was com.
mencement OF the proceedings and COM
pliei with the law.
Justice Rudkih dis~euts and contends
that the tax tuteclo-Iug is void, but the
majority of the court aud the judgment
of the tribunal is ior the other decision.
