ALLHALLOW EVE,

The observance of Al.halIow eve,

church observance Of the ensuing day
of All Saints to have originated such
eNwaordmary notions as are connected

Influences prevail 1t is the night set
apart for the walking abroad of spirits,

HOCH JUST WENT TOSEE
Governor Hoch Did Not Investigate
Charge at Hutchinson Reformatory.

Governor Hoch was at his Office in
the state house this morning, having
returned last night from Hutchinson
where he visited on Sunday and Mon
day in company with John @. Royce,
the state bank commissioner.
It was thought that the governor
might possibly have gone to Hutchinson
to make an unofficial investigation of
the charges of possible mismanage-
ment of the state reformatory there
which have been intima ted by some of
the ministers of Hutchinson The gov
eTnor visited the 1eformatory but his
visit was not in the nature of an in
vestigation. It was more of a trip of
inspection, SO that he could familiarize
himself with the workings of the insti-
tuition 1t was the same sort of a trip
that he made to the state penitentiary
the week before. And it is the COVER
nOr's intention to visit as many of the
state Institutions as will be possible
legislature so that he can personally
famfliarize himself with all of the de-
tails connected with their management.
While in Hutchinson on SUNDAY even
ing Governor Hoch delivered an address
at the first meeting of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood of that city, which was
held during the evening. The Hutchin-
son News says.
with great frankness the governor
took up the question of prohibition.
He said that the prohibitory law had
never really had a fair chance, but
that there were more cities towns and
counties in the state where the law is
enforced now than at any previous time
since the enactment of the law. He
referred to the difficulties the constant
violation. the presence on every border
of states whose laws recognized the
liquor traffic. He alluded to criticisms
coming from Missouri and suggested
that they should clean up their own
state first. He stood for temperance
and law and predicted that in COM
paratively short time the people would
look upon the idea of a legalized saloon
as we now DO of human slavery-hardly
believing that it could once have ex-
listed in a civilized and Christian coun-

merce and labor to investigate the
causes of high prices of lumber in
various stages of manufacture for the
purpose OF ascertainfng if these high

II It IS found that prices are being

ods are to be inquired into, the facts
disclosed to be reported TO the house.
A story came from Leavenworth yester-
gay to the effect that Dan Anthony Of
Inat city Is an active candidate for Unit
60 states marshal to succeed w. H.
Mackey. Anthony has made no mention
OF such aspiration in his paper, the Leav-
enWorrh Times, but it is said that he mas
been in the race since Senator Long left
Kansas Tor Washington two weeks ago
According to the story, w. J. Bailey
met senator Long in Kansas City while
the latter was on his way to Washington
urged Long to intercede in AnthOny's be-
half And it is said that he received
considerable encouragement. There are
already two candidates in the race. Andy
Mackey, the present United States mar
shal. 1t has been the general opinion
among politicians that Long would back
richards, and Richards men have been
pretty confident of his success. Bailey
and Mackey are not the best of friends,
politically, and it was only natural that
Bailey should bring out candidate
against Mackey.
The question with Senator Long is
which appointment will do him the most
when he is a candidate for reelection to
the United States senate.

JURY EVENLY DIVIDED.
Jacobs Case Ends in Disagreement and
Will BE Tried Again.

After five hours of fruitless deliber-
alton, the jury in the $4,000 damage
suit of Joseph Jacobs against the
board of county commissioners, sent
word to Judge Dana late Monday after
noon that they were evenly divided, and
1t would be impossible for them to rem
der a decision in the case. The jury
was therefore excused, and the case re-
set for the next term of court.
Joseph Jacobs, a farmer living three
miles north of Rossville, sued the coun-
ty for alleged damages resulting from
a bridge over a small creek through his
farm. In his petition he stated that he
had been damaged to the amount of
$4,000 by reason of overfiows of the
strna nj caused by the obstruction Of
the piers of the bridge and the grade
leading 10 it from the ends.

from his attitude that e. r. Richey.
who was chief clerk in the treasurer s
office during the Grimes administra-
ton, is the one Mr.. Grimes suspects for
part of the shortages.
Mr.. Richey is at present engaged in
the Texas land business. He was at
Artesia, N NJ. for some time. but has
left there and now makes his head
quarters in Kansas City, though a great
portion of the time is on the road, tax
ing parties of prospective investors out
to see the Texas lands for which he is
agent.
There is a suit pending in the Shaw
nee district court between Grimes and
Rfchey. At the time the Abilene short
age was discovered, Grimes, Richey
and Kelly had conference. and
Richey gave a note for the amount of
the shortage. which was $1,175- He
paid 0ne-third of the note in cash, and
claims that the understanding was that
Kelly and Grimes should each pay a
third. Grimes claims that there was
no such understanding. and has
brought suit in the Shawnee county
district court to recover the balance
due on the note.
The case was called for hearing at
the last term of court. but owing to
the fact that Grimes attorneys wanted
time to amend their petition, the hear
ing was continued until the January
term.
