r ete of Several Amendments nooends
 on Rice.Palmer Case.

ln the case of R. R. Rioc N. I. D. Palmer, involving the qu s;t n as to Vno Is entitled to the onl5e of Jerk of Linccln county, and WI e VII Ee feard in the supreme cont when Chief Justice Hall returns from Ari 2cna next spring, is involved tha fate also of several important amenfmants 'o eAe state constitution, makin this or general interest 10 the peop'n ef Ar. kansas everywhere It is said that action has been postponed on this f'atter until the return of Ch'ei Jus. tee Hill, because the court feels that full bench should pass upon a case involving so much to the state.
 The plaintiff, R. R. Rice, was ap- pointed clerk of Lincoln county bv Gov. Davis after the death of B. A Meroney. As incumbent Pa1mor claimed that the office reverted to him until an election was held for his suc- cessor and denied the right of the
 '" 'i'hO ,lle dppOln J1ment. M"foney died after his election but before Palmer's time had expired
 This now celebrated case is civor local coloring by the fact that Jsdee a' 5. Grace of this city was called upon to hand down a decision in 1t A, circuit judge of this circuit. .1udge Grace, before whom the case w,s 6,st drought, held that the consti.utiou;.l amendment giving the governor ocr:. CT to make appointments to fill vac.n. c'es was not legally adopted, not hay. ing fecelved a majority of all the votes cast at the election. Upon that subJect Capt Rice, who is a noted 1urfman, appealed to the supreme court.
 federal JudgeTrieber, in another case, has also held that the amend. meht was not legally adopted. If the supreme court should agree with Judges Trieber and Grace and many other lawyers of note in the state several other amendments to the state constitution would be null and void
 The poll tax amendment, the amend. ment giving the counties right to lew road tax, the amendment authoriz. ing indemnity companies to make of. hc1al bonds and amendment Mo- 2 aiiowlng members of the legislature salary instead of per diem, were adopted by the same vote. as neither received a majority of all the votes at the election on that subject. For example, the poll tax amendment was submitted in 1892 and received 75.940 votes, while 56,6o1 votes were cast against it's adoption. The highest vote cast in that election was 156.- 6n votes for state land commission CT, and to have received majority of all tho votes cast. according to that contention, the amendment would have needed 7s,3O1 votes, instead of 75,94O, as the returns showed. !

GRAO|EG BEG|NS ON FOURTH AVENUE MONDAY PREPARATORY TO THE
 PAVING.
  When Improvements Are Completed Fourth Will Re Hanasomest
 Street in City.

Citizens along Fouth avenue will be slatified to learn that the grading O. that thoroushfare, preparatory to it's pavement, will commence Monday morning. The contractors are now, and have been for several days, busy in laying the tile drainage, and sev- eral blocks of this work have teen completed
 It is safe to say that few people really appreciate what the contem- plated improvements on Fourth ave rue really mean to that street. With tile drainage laid, graded and macad- am zed all the way out to the cross ing. dcubletracked by the Iron Noun tain, with an elegant new union depot located on South Common. it will pre- sent to the tourist as he enters the city on either railroad, one of the prettiest scenes that could be ob- tained in all the city. And these i'm provements are necessarily going to have their influence on property val ues along the street, and will make for its upbuilding clear from the cross ing to the downtown districts. Fourth avenue is an exceptionally wide street, the widest in the city, in fact, and this is an advantage that cannot be easily overlooked from beauty standpoint Once the Improvements are complet- cd it will be a sight worth seeing.

KAISER STUDIES AIRsHIPS
Emperor of Germany shows Much
Interest I'm Progress of Aerial
NAVIGATION.

BERLIN, April 7.-(special Cablegram TO
The Bee) 1.-The reports that the German
emperor has turned his attention to aerial
navigation are undoubtedly true. The
kaiser is said to have been stimulated 10
action byth announcement that the French
government had adopted a navigable air
ship invented by NJ Juliet a French engi-
neer, for use in war by the French army.
The emperor is said to have stated his con-
victions upon the subject to his military
advisers in the strongest and most en-
phatic fashion. During his conversation
with his advisers reference was made to the
plans - the French government In connec-
ton with the experiments of the Wright
brothers Of Dayton, o.. also the expert
ments now being made by Wellman in
planning for a trip to the north pole in
the interest OF the Chicago Record-Herald.
On account OF the large sums which he
has already obtained from the Reiehstag
for his army and naval programs the
kaiser openly declared that he did not feel
like again asking for appropriations espe-
cialy in a field so experimental as aerial
navigation. He therefore appealed to the
patriotism OF four Jewish millionaires who
are prominent in the commercial life OF
Berlin. Without hesitation they subscribed
10000 20 form a company to carry out
the experiments necessary to ascertain
which type of airship is most suitable for
military purposes.

attended. His first lecture in Glasgow was
upon the subject OF ireland Forty Years
Ago" under the auspices Of Branch Erie
oge OF the Sim Fein league. Mr.. ODono-
van Rosa, in his address, said that many
OF the friends that he made in GLASGOW
forty years ago he found were dead, while
many others were living in America. They
went over to ireland In '65 and 81 TO fight,
and, although there was no fight then they
had the same spirit still and he must say
that this spirit had been kept up mainly by
Irishmen, who had spent some Of their
youthful days in either England or Scot
land. In abiding TO two addresses which
had been presented TO him by two organi-
cations In Tyrone, one OF which was the
Land league. which expects TO get the free

He expressed a preference for the othe- ad-
dress. which began I'VE. the unconquered
hearts OF the planters and owners OF this

ments were the sentiments OF the Irish race

The lecturer dealt chiefly with his prison
experiences and the poetry he had composed
while undergoing Incarceration. He read an
extract from book which he had obtained
from the library OF an Atlantic liner, in
which he was described as a liar and bru-
ta' ruffian and most intractable person.

ROSA Is RAPIDLY
LOSING DAMAGED LOOK
Two Railroads Lend Their Aid In
Work of Renewing the
Heaps of Debris.


SANTA ROSA, May 19.-More than
1900 carloads of debris have been
hauled away from this city with the
assistance of the California North
western and Petaluma and Santa Rosa
railroads since the clearing began.
The railroads are running trains up
Fourth street with the motor, where
they are loaded and then taken by
locomotives to fills along the rights of
way Of the roads and dumped. The
two roads have aided materially in
getting the business portion of the city
into presentable condition. Their
work Is greatly appreciated by the
property owners and citizens generally,
as it has materially reduced the cost
of the work. 1t Is now believed that
another week will see all the debris
carried away and the sites all pre-
pared for rebuilding. Several perma-
nent buildings are already under
course Of construction, while several
architects are preparing plans for
others to be erected at once.
