HARRIS IN ACCORD.
He Is Expected to Garry Out Much of
PattisOn's Policy.

Columbus, O., June 19.-Governor An
drew L. Harris today declined to make
any formal statement regarding his
policy, but it is maintai1-ed at the state
house that he is in accord with the late
governor in many of the plans he con-
templated regarding state affairs. There
is naturally much speculation among
politicians as to what he will do re-
garding the few appointments that the
late governor has made The general
belief is that he will not disturb them
The many other appointments to be
made will, of course. be from a Repub-
ncan party standpoint. There is said
to be no doubt about that.
Only the appointments of the exeeu-
tive staff and that OF a state hospital
trustee have been confirmed by the SEN
ate. The others are merely on appoint
ment record and the appointees have
their commissions. Governor Harris
may send them to the senate when it
convenes or he may annul them and
send in other names. But as the Demo-
Gratis control the senate, such new ap-
pointments would probably not be con-
firmed and the appointees of Governor
Pattison being in would remain in.
No State Funeral.
Cincinnati. O., June 19.-The body of
the late Governor Pattison will not be
taken to Columbus for a state funeral
as was suggested last night. His wish
es and those of his family were for a
quiet service at home A public service
will also be held at the Methodist church
in Milford, of which Governor Pattison
was member.
Many kilograms of coincidence have
been received from all parts of the
country, business, social and political
acquaintance expressing regret at the
death Of Mr. PatfiSOn

Harrison street, attempted to commit
the old starch factory by taking car
bolic acid
Mrs. Spickard took the poison in
the presence of her husband, who
managed to get the bottle away from
her before she had swallowed the en-
tire contents. Prompt medical aid
was secured and at the last reports it
was thought that she would recover.
Her parents and husband can give no
reason for her action, as yesterday she
was at the home Of her parents during
the day helping put up fruit and at
that time seemed to be cheerful and
in good spirits

BURTON IN COURT.
Ex-senator Appears for His Brother
for Civil Suit

Ex-senator ]. r. Burton appeared in
the district court this morning as one
of the attorneys for his brother, T. T.
Burton, who has been sued on a $1,000
note by E. c. Manning, a capitalist Of
the northwestern section of the state.
The note involves the affairs Of the
Eureka Canal company which was one
of the boom schemes of that section
of the state and represents money loan
ed to the company Of which Z. T. Bur-
ton was one of the stock holders.
Ex-senator Burton sits directly back
OF his brother and is acting in the ca
pacity of an advisor rather than trial
lawyer in the case. He has had but
little to say and with the exception of
the fact that he so recently occupied a
position in the United States senate
would attract no more attention than
the ordinary Topeka lawyer who has
business with the court almost every
day of the year.

Damages Against DR.. Franklin
B. Smith for One Cent.

DR.. Henry G. Rndcliffe, who
sued DR.. FRANKLIN B. Smith for
So, 900 damages for alleged injur-
les received in being thrown from
a buggy as a result of his horse
taking fright at Dr.. Smiths au-
tomobile, was awarded cent
damages by a jury Monday after
noon.
Testimony in the case showed
that Dr. Radcliffe, who was in the
vehicle with DR.. Daniel Rams
burg, caught hold of the reins
as the machine passed and pulled
the horse to one side. At the
same time he was thrown from
the vehicle.
Opinions differ as to the Justice
of the verdict. AT one time it
had been thought that the matter
had been amicably settled. Some
persons who have expressed them
selves think that the verdict was
a peculiar one, inasmuch as it
acknowledged damages, but put
the value of them at one cent.
There was either injuries or
damages worth more than that
insignificant sum, or there was
none, and the jury should have
taken the bold step in the direction
indicated by the evidence. The
present verdict looks like com
promise and puts the costs upon
DR.. Smith.
