Several fights took place last night in the Old Kentucky saloon on Brew cry avenue. some of which developed into free-for-alls. No one was serious ly hurt.

The Real Estate AGENT.

The Garden City Herald upholds
the established real estate agent in
the following language:
The active real estate agent is the
man who is doing more for his town
and country than any other trade or
profession, and really has more to dis
courage him than does the man in any
other business. 1t is the real estate
agent who advertises and develops
and first introduces the outside world
to the country. But the real estate
agent is not appreciated as he should
be by the business men of the town,
for instead of the business men say
ing a good word to help along the
man who is spending his money freely
to advertise and build up the country,
they themselves too often join the
ranks of the curbstone gang and
knife the real estate man for selfish
motives. The business man of the
town asks protection from outside
peddlers, while he leaves even the
clerks in his charge to engage in the
real estate business to the detriment
of the agents who are spending their
money for the up building of the
country.

Topeka, July 16.-The recent de-
cision of Judge A. w. Dana, of the
district court of Shawnee county, in
the suit brought by Attorney General
Coleman to recover funds which it
was alleged that the state treasurer
aad failed to account for, is not only
a complete victory for Treasurer
Kelly but it also effectively answers
the charges made against the pres
ent republican administrator as the
result of the treasury scandals and
the two expert examinations of
Treasurer Kelly's records. Attorney
General Coleman brought the suit
against Treasurer Kelly under the
orders of Gov. Hoch.
Gov Hoch wanted the fullest and
most rigid Investigation possible
made The accountants report
charged Kelly with differences, dis
crepancies and irregularities" aggre-
eating approximately $11 900 during
his term of Office as state treasurer.
The suit just decided in Kelly's favor
was based on these findings. During
the trial Kelly proved that he had
accounted for every warrant, bond,
interest coupon, or other cash item
that was in his official custody and
the evidence shows that he had ac-
counted for an overpayment of $40
in the interes on an issue of Leroy
township, Coffey county, bonds. Judge
Dana's decision, which was in writ
ing, is to the effect that in no case
had Kelly been shown to be short.
When the accountants StCnpaHted
their investigation and filed their re-
port democrats aRd other enemies OF
Kelly insisted that Gov. Hoch sum-
marily remove Kelly and criticized
the governor because he refused to
do so. They said the governor was
favoring Kelly. Gov. Hoch stated
in returning Kelly's escrow resigna-
ton that he had read the report
carefully and that no jury would find
Kelly guilty of wrong when the evil
dence was all considered and that in
his judgment no court would sustain
such a verdict if returned The de-
cision in Kelly's favor has vindicated
Gov. Hoch's judgment
In response to the persistent de-
mand in certain quarters that the
treasury controversy be finally set
tied in the courts the suit against
Kelly was started. Gov Hoch took
the same view of the matter. In
prosecuting the investigation and
pushing the suit based on the ac-
countants' report the administration
has redeemed promises made to the
voters two years ago and has effec-
tually quieted the state treasury
scandals. While it may be unfor-
tunate, from a democratic stand
point, that Col. Harris, of Chicago,
has been robbed of campaign issue
the people of the state generally will
be pleased that the matter is at end.

w. Y. Morgan. of Hutchinson, has
written letter home telling of cross

Here is one story he heard in the
smoking room: A wealthy man died
and in his will appointed four sxscu-
tors, a German, an Englishman, a
Frenchman and a Yankee. He pro-
vided that they should be well paid
for their work, but an eccentricity
cropped out in a codicil that each one
of the executors should put 800 int
the coffin to be buried with him.
After the funeral was over the exec
1tors met and the conversation turn

my 500 into the coffin in gold conn.,

in the coffin in silver" said the

quietly remarked: Il put In my per-

The old stone school house at Mound
City, the historic county seat of Linn
county. Is to be RACED and the ma
terials in its walls used to improve
the public highways says the Wilson
County Citizen. The building was
erected about the beginning of the
rebellion, probably in 1861. The only
conflict between regular Federal and
Confederate troops from on Kansas
soil and called a battle, occurred on
Mine creek, near Mound City, Oc-
tober %, 1864. The school house TO
be dismantled was used as hospital at
the time of the battle, ambulancea
from Mine creek carrying both Union
and Confederate wounded soldiers to
the shelter of its walls for care and
treatment, number of them dying
in the building.

c. H Luling, superintendent of in

man, will be succeeded by Charles W.
Barnes, who is thoroughly conversant
with the insurance needs Of the state
Mr.. Luling has recommended for the
consideration of the legislature a
number of measures which will be OF
benefit to the policy holders of Kan
sas One of these measures provides
for the enactment of a law requiring
the insurance superintendent to pub
lish once every quarter in three or
four weekly newspapers in each con-
gressiona1 district in the state the
names of all insurance companies
authorized to do business in the
state together with concise state
rnent of their financial condition
The expense of the publication would
be small and the people of the state
would be protected against fraudu-
lent concerns which might be at
tempting to do business in the state
without authority from the insurance
department

Horace Keefer, of wallulla, popu-

Horace Keefer, of Wallulla, popu-
list candidate for governor Of Kansas,
was in Leavenworth yesterday on
business and incidentally called upon
the politicians in the court house. OF
his campaign he said:
IT do not know yet when l will
start out; will have to wait until
the chairman of the central COM
mittee tells me. You know / have
to wait for him now. / will make a
school house campaign. Colonel An
thony used to refer to me as 'Shot-
Gun" Keefer because of my cam
paigns.
II do not think many of our old
time populists will stay with Harris
in this race. / went to the conven-
tion at Topeka, but / did not seek
the nomination for governor. There
were many old time popUlists there,
and some were partial to Harris.
They held a conference and called me
into it. l told them what / knew of
Senator Harris and they told me
was the one to make the race SO 1 got
into is. I convinced some of them
endt IldIIlS was uoe sue Soeu iHdH nc
was painted.
isn't it strange that Harris now
talks of railway legislation? When
in Topeka didn't he kill every bill af-
festing a railway? He comes out
after two-cent fare when the farm
ers pay $40 freight for every two
cents they pay for riding on trains.
That's where he is not consistent.
And did you notice the men Har-
ris picked out? He wanted Ryan for
chairman and Farrelly for attorney
general. Those were the men who
aided him in killing every bit of rail-
way legislation needed in this state
i could not stand for anything like
that"

DEMOCRATIC DISTINCTION.
Reason. why Populists Do Not Like
w. A. Harris.

Topeka, July 1S.-Kansas populists
will undoubtedly relish the spirit il
which the democrats are receiving the
action of the populiSt state convention
in refusing to endorse Col w. A
Harris of Chicago as a gubernatorial
candidate because of his aristocratit
pretensions and all round lack of sym
pathy with populist principles Since
July democratic organs have beer
filed with insulting references to the
populists. PopulistS have always beer
ridiculed by opposition newspapers
but never until this year have demo
Gratis permitted themselves to express
their actual opinions of members Of the
peoples party. This year the demo
Gratis are running an Illinois man fol
governor of Kansas. The Kansas CITY
Star, Missouri newspaper which
never grows tired of speaking of Kan
sas in patronizing terms, is the CHIEF
organ of the Harris candidacy. How
will populists like the following para
graph printed in the Star following
the adjournment of the populist state
convention? Appended is comment
from the Topeka Herald
"Of course, if Colonel w. A. Harris
chewed tobacco in public places and
allowed dandruff to accumulate on his
collar, and cultivated granulated eye
lids, and had his acquaintance call
him BILL the populist state conven-
ton would not have branded him as 8
Southern aristocrat. kansas City

Circumstances certainly do alter
cases. If the populists, in convention
had heartily endorsed Col. Harris and
the democratic ticket, the Star would
have given them unstintea praise
instead of insinuatins that they were

What Really Counts.

A young man told his fellows yes
terday. relates the Wellington News,
that, although he tried his best,
someone is always "talking about
him" Actually chatting because re-
marks are being made abont him.
What folly. Young man, give little
heed to reputation, hut much to
character. The first is what people
say you are, the latter is what you
are, The first is in the hands of
Others, the last only in your own it
you build your character as you
should, and as you know how to build
it, what someone is saying about you
will give little worry. See to it that
all derogatory statements are untrue
and you can afford them better than
he who makes them. II you reach
mature years without being assaulted
by the tongue of malice, you have
cause to be ashamed such attacks
being but the price of success. An
ounce of character is better that a
ton of reputation. Be strong in re-
sisting evil, strive only for the right,
and talk will not bother The
tongue of the gossip and idler is never
still-never was and never will be till
the day Of torment.
