He ISN'T SURPRISED.
Attorney General Coleman on Mayor
Roses Ambitions.

Mayor Roses determine ton to get
the office of mayor Of Kansas City, in
spite of the order of the supreme
court, is an act which it was natural
to expect from an officer who has pre-
viousIy manifested such contempt
for law"
This is what Attorney General c. C.
Coleman says about the dispatch
from Kansas City stating that the
Democratic executive committee there
the nomination to Mayor Rose, and
that he accepted.
rs not Mayor Rose already in con-
tempt of the supreme court by accept
ing the nomination ~ was asked.
i hardly think that the courts or
der could be stretched to cover what
Mr. Rose has done up to this time. He
IS not really having anything to do
with the office of mayor until he gets
votes enough to entitle him to the Of
fee, and attempts to take his seat
The supreme courts order is very
sweeping, and seems to contemplate
not only prohibiting Rose from hold
ing the Office, but also keeping him
out Of everything that has anything to
do with the office. It SAYS:
Wherefore it is by the court con-
sidered, ordered and adjudged that the
said defendant be and he is hereby
ousted from said office and that he do
not in any wise hereafter. interneddIe
hencefOrth and he wholly
excluded and ousted from ana dis
qualified from holding said office and
from concerning himself in any wise
IN ana about the holding of the said
once OF mayor of Kansas City Kan -
General Coleman returned Thursday
from Kansas City, where he has been
for several days taking testimony in
the Gibson custer suit He said in
speaking of the progress of that case:
"a far4 4f~,,r, -
all in Both sides have completed their
presentation Of evidence. / am very
we'll satisfied with the showing which
the state has made. We have a strong
case. We have shown that Mr.. Gibson
failed to prosecute cases properly: that
he did not attempt to enforce the pro-
hibitory law This was the principal
portion of our case against him. we
had considerable evidence, and some of
It very strong evidence, that he was
guilty OF accepting bribes, but most of
this evidence related to. Cibson's pre-
vious term Of office. What evidence. we
had touching his present term came
from a man who acted as agent for a
certain party. and we were not able to
clearly establish the relations of this
agent and his principal The special
master, Mr.. Larimer. therefore ordered,
and very properly, Z think, that all this
testimony relating to bribery be strick-
en- from the records. We shall rely for
q conviction on the evidence submitted
that Gibson failed to perform his duty
in the enforcement Of the prohibitory
law
After the transcript of the testimony
in the Gibson case is fled with the su-
preme court, and the findings of fact
made by the special master, It win be
up to the attorneys to argue the case,
and decide whether the evidence war
rants the ousting of the county attor-
ney.

NIARsHALL's BAND 10 PLAY.
And in Other Ways Elks' Ball Game
win Be Interesting.

The right really genuine big thing OF
the season as far as the CooleycroWs
are concerned will be their ball game
with the pick Of the drove of Topeka
Elks which will take place at the AS
sociation park tomorrow afternoon.
Realizing that the game Of tomorrow
may be their undoing in case that they
loose 1t, they have put in every possible
moment at practice, even refusing TO
seek shelter yesterday when the rain
came down upon them in torrents.
The members Of the team which has
been selected from among the ex-ball
players of the Elks have not been idle
by any means for they have practlced
twice day for the last week and as
long as the early evenings were moon
light the practice went merrily on at a
diamond located in an out of the way
place west of the city
So sure are they of winning that the
Elk team has agreed to a proposition
that the entire gate receipts shall be
used to defray the expenses of the Elk
aggregation to their annual meeting
which viii be held in Denver during
the first days of July.
Owing to dissensfon in the ranks OF
the Elk team, which the manager has
not been able to quell the aggregation
the players, which range from a little
Lord Fauntleroy suit, which Archie
Williams has borrowed from little
Johnnie Waters, to a full dress affair
men of Jay Elmer House insists on
wearing.
Inasmuch as Henry Ruff, who is an
Elk, is manager of the team and an
ardent supporter of the Elk bunch has
been chosen as umpire, there is but
little doubt as to what the result of the
game will be. Besides a mask, chest
protector and heavy gloves the umpire
has provided himself with a body guard
of twenty of the heavy hitters of the
Elk clhb and insists that his decisions
must not be questioned under any cir
cumstance.
MarshaH's band will be present te
/ do what ever they can to help the
cause of the Elks and any individual
who is caught roofing for the Cooley
crows Will be given a test of the first
degree in the Elk order. which con-
sists of a two-step from the home plate
to second base and return with the
music furnished by the bass drummer
of Marshalps band.
An earnest request is made that all
Elks be present as well as any one
else who has the price of admission
which has been reduced from one dol
| lar to the very reasonable admission
/ fee of two-bits, frequently referred tC
as 25- cents.

not the property of Dowie but was held
by him as trustee
It is also expected that application
viii be made for the appointment of a
receiver pending the settlement Of the
dispute as to the control of the prop

HIS STOMACH CUT OUT
Half of 1t Removed and He Is Regain
ing Health.

New York, April 13.-After having
half his stomach cut away and his in
testines connected in g. new place, Chas.
H. Gale of South Norwallk, Conn, Is
seemingly on the road to health after
ten years of sickness and pain. During
the past decade Mr.. Gale has been
treated for appendicitis, ulcers, cancer
indigestion and many other complaints.
Two weeks ago MI Gale was taken
to the Seney hospital in Brooklyn, where
he was starved and overfed alternately,
to watch results, but neither these ex-
periments nor the X-rays revealed any
thing. AS a, last recourse his stomach
was removed entirely. The experts were
astonished to find that the outlet of the
stomach to the small intestine was no
larger than the point Of a pencil, and
all of the food digested had to pass
through this. The result was q won
derful collection of foreign objects in
the stomach. Every seed that Mr.. Gale
had eaten since a boy was there ana
many other things. while the stomach
had been distended until it was more
than twice the normal size. Half of it
was cut away and the intestine was
connected in a new place, and now MI.
Gale is improving rapidly, with every
indication of having perfect health in
the future

 Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, who achieved prominence and reached the office of Governor and United railroad campaigns has met with a setback. He wanted his, particular friend Mir. Lenroot, Speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, nominated for Governor He spent weeks making speeches in his behalf and, toward the as four times a day The republicans of Wisconsin, however concluded they were not in need of advice from the Senator on political matters, and so they nominated Governor Davis, who was lieutenant governor when Senator LaFollette was Governor
 According to the dispatches the vic- tory of Governor Davidson Is an over whelming one Naturally Senator La Toilette takes the defeat of his friend much to heart Indeed, he recognizes it as a defeat for himself. He looked upon himself as practically the boss of the Republican party of his state, and he suddenly discovered that he is nothing of the. kind. that, in fact, he isn't of as much importance to the rank and file of his party as he had thought he was.
 It is probable that there will not be much if any regret among Wisconsin lette has received. He had been so un- interruptedly successful that he was beginning to be somewhat arrogant. He has been notified practically that he Is but a servant of the people, and that when he has anything to suggest approve 1t if they think 1t should be approved They won't accept it, how eVer simply because Senator LaFol- Iette recommends IT.
