The trial OF the suit of Capt J. A.
Burriss against the city of Whining
ton, for $4,000 damages, was begun
in the superior court yesterday morn
ing, being the third big damage suit
called during the present term Of
court.
Besides the jurors summoned for
the day it was found necessary TO
summons an extra panel of forty
men and this panel was nearly ex-
hausted when shortly after / o'clock
both sides announced that they were
satisfied, the following having been
selected to decide on the issues:
Messrs. J. J. Allen, J. c. Loder,
D. H. Lee, Albert Solomon, Geo. A.
Diebert, J. T. Eagle, W. B. Chad
wick, Jos. D. Smith, L. NJ. LeGwln,
Calvin George, VIM. P. Duncan and
A. w. Clemmons.
The plaintiff in the case is repre-
sented by Hon. John D. Bellamy and
Son, and the defendants counsel are
City Attorn-y Marsden Bellamy, Jr.,
and former Judge E. K. Bryan.
The only witness put on the stand
aside from several character witness
es, was Captain Burriss, the plain
tiff, he testified as to the facts set
that his injuries are permanent and
that he is now prevented from do
ing any active work, although up to
the time of the alleged accident he
could make $500 per month.
AS usual on Saturday, the court
took an early recess, adjOurning at
2 o'clock until Monday morning,
when the consideration of the case
will be resumed.
It is certain that the case will con-
sumo all OF Mondays session and it
will prot bly, run over into Tues
day.
The action is as stated above, for
$4,000 damages, sustained early
on the morning of December 6, 1905,
by falling into an excavation, short
distance from Capt. Burriss' home,
on South Front street.
1t was before day when the plain
tiff left his home to go to the market
and in the darkness he fell into the
hole, sustaining serious and perma-
nent injuries, having his stomach,
an arm and a thumb badly hurt.
The complaint alleges that the city
permitted the hole, which was sew
era1 feet deep and several feet wide,
to remain without lights Or without
barriers, in the locality mentioned
from November until the time the
injuries were received.
The city answers that it was not
negligent and the plaintiff con-
tributed to his own injury, he having
known that the excavation was there,
and that by the exercise of proper
caution he could have avoided the
accident.
Before this case was called, Judge
Biggs heard argument as to the juris-
diction of the clerk Of the court in
| the matter of the will lof Nicely Carr
and he remanded the case to the
! clerk.
When court convened yesterday
the sheriff returned the following as
jurors summoned for the day:

! Schloss, G. Henny Harr, J. H. w

Walter Way and Louis Yates, two
young white men were arrested last
night in the vicinity of Fourth and
B1aden streets and taken to the city
prison, where they were locked up. IN
the mayors court tomorrow an eff
fort will be made to make out a case
of highway robbery against the men
The alleged attempt at robbery was
made on Mr.. c. T. Tumbley, an en-
ployee of the Chadbourn Sash, Door
and Blind Co. Mr.. Tumbley. who had
been at work in the store of the Will
mington Grocery Company, on Market
street, which is being remodeled, stated
that after finishing work, receiving
his wages for the week, and doing
some shopping, boarded car at Front
and Princess streets to go to his home
ON Rladen street. Getting on the car
at the same time were these two men,
Way and Yates They all stood on
the rear platform together and MI
Tumbley, on paying his fare, and that
of Yates and Way, pulled out his pay
envelope and they saw the money con-
IL,
the men followed him and when the
three got in theashadow of a store on
Fourth and Bladen, both men jumped
on him and he dropped his coat, which
he carried on his arm and ran. He
reported the attack to a police Officer
When he returned to the scene Of
the attack, Mr. Tumbley found his
coat hanging on post of a fence, but
all the money which had been con-
tanned in the envelope was gone.
After Way and Yates were arrested
they admitted having knocked Mr.,
Tumbley down, but they denied having
taken the money.
Y The arrested men will have the

they will be bound over under the Sc
rfous charge of highway robbery.
a rather similar hold-up, lacking
nothing for nerve displayed, occurred
shortly after seven o'clock, and the
fact that the guilty parties in this
instance were also two young white
men, leads the authorities to think the
: same men guilty.
A negro man, going north on Front
street, was hailed in front of the post
office by two white men and they per
suaded him to go into the alley which
leads behind the postoffice, when di'
rectly in the rear of this building the
men Jumped on the negro. He dropp'
ed a package Of laundry which he he'e
in his arm, and ran across the post

Putting Little Prince to Sleep.

During his short visit to Berlin
Prince Olaf of Norway was idolized
by his relations there. On the night
of the Norwegian royal family's de-
parture the correspondent was wait
ing at the railway station, two hours
before the time the train was to
leave, when a royal carriage drove
up. A lady and a gentleman stepped
out, followed by little boy-Prince
Olaf 1t was z o'clock-past the
usual bedtime-and the Prince had
to 60 to bed in the train. He stepped
into a compartment containing his
cot. Then the engine driver took
his post and moved the carriage slow
ly to and fro, thus rocking the little
traveller asleep.-Dagens Nyheter.

happy. The selfish man who pur-
sues the dollar with the ambition to
amass more wealth, unmindful of
his obligations to humanity and of
an honest purpose; who is not will
ing to sacrifice any of his time or
money in the interests of his city
or for the upbuilding of better things
for the common good, is not happy
man. His heart is too small. He
might have riches, power, fine homes
and all those things which look invit-
ing to the man who hasn't them, but
that does not bring happiness.
''The real happy rich man is the
one who is thrifty, mindful of the in
terests and the rights Of his fellow
man, makes money honestly and
conscientiously, steps out of his way
here and there to relieve suffering;
who looks to it that the interests of
his wife and children are protected,
but who is willing to give Of his
bounty for humanity, for good gov
ernment, and for the upbuilding of
his community. That is the thrifty but
unselfsh man. A man cannot sac
rifice the principles of square deal
and his conscience to amass wealth
and then buy happiness by giving to
the poor. 1t must be honesty and a
square deal all the way through.
'Selfshness and greed are danger
Gus things. When young people be-
gin life with the idea that if they
can only amass wealth they will be
happy, they make bad beginning.
They should be thrifty and saving.
and lay aside some each week or
month as matter of protection, but
there are other interests in life to
serve. 1t is right that the young
woman should be very careful to Sc.
lect the right kind of a man. But
IL he has education, character and
energy he has a fortune that all the
hardships in the world could not
bankrupt. The girl who marries him,
even though he has only fifty cents
in his pocket, is a fortunate girl. II
she is the right kind of girl they
will get along all right in this world
II will give an illustration. Mr.
P. w. Goebel, the president of this
bank. made his fortune in Kansas.
and is one of the successful business
men of the State. When he was
married many years ago he had just
fifty cents in his pocket after he had
paid the priest. That was all the
money they had with which to be-
gin life. Their wealth at that time
did not consist in money. Each OF
them had that loyalty of purpose,
that energy, determination and char
acter which furnishes solid founda-
tion for beginning. 1t Is what
wins. We should think of other
things besides amassing money for
ourselves and our children. 1t is
criminal to neglect the training of a
child in a struggle for money. Ed
ucation, character and energy are
the greatest inheritances that par
ents can leave children. That early
training is what counts. My obser-
walton has been that legacies OF mon
ey, on the average, do more harm
than good. They take from the lega-
tee the very incentive which makes
the parents succeed. Look at the
training and cultivation of character
in youth more than to amassing a
fortune to leave to the children.
Leave them something more than

social duties SO that life will be pleas
ant for her and relieve her Of the
monotonous part of humdrum

Are you looking for fool for a
wife," Mr.. Brokaw asked. "You
are not beginning with the right idea
for poor man. Amy woman who is
not willing to marry man Of good
character, education, and plenty of
energy, even though he has little
money in his pocket. is not the right
kind of woman. Lots of love and
fifty cents is all you need. II the
girl does not look on the practical

There are about twenty young
men employed in the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, and only two or three
takes much interest in the welfare
of the young men employed by the
bank. Mr.. Brokaw was until recent
ly president of the Kansas State
Bankers Association.
"The young man questioned
about getting married is just like a
great many Others" Mr.. Brokaw
said recently. "He had the idea that
money produces happiness and makes
things smooth in married life. 1t
is we'll to have money and to lay
aside some for rainy day. but the
man whose sole aim in life is to make
and accumulate money cannot be a
happy man, whether he is married
or single. He makes no return to
humanity and to the community for
the compensation he draws, and is
not the right kind of man.

the man who labors for few dol

of a man. There may be some bumps
and rough places occasionally, but
day in and day out that kind of a
man Is happier than the one who
has amassed wealth and is struggling
to take care of what he has and to
make more.

Residue of Henry Diekson's Wealth
Devoted to Charity,

The value Of the estate Of the late

tion OF the Washington Loan and Trust
Company and William King. trustees ard

for a citation for unknown heirs and next
Of kin to appear and file objection, II any.
The petition states that the personal
property consists of stocks and bonds OF
the estimated value of S5S5, 900. which esti-
mate is based upon the bid price upon
the local stock exchange. but that the
actual value is probably above this
amount. The testator also had $3.50 on
deposit in a local bank. The real estate
which is located in this city and in Nice
France, is stated to be worth $500 Mr.
Dickson left debts aggregating about $780,
coo, besides funeral expenses of 5000.
The petition states that Mr.. Dickson
was unmarried, and did not leave surviv-
Ing him father, mother, brother, OF sis
ter. The petitioners state that Mr. Dick
sons heirs-at-law and next of kin are un-
known to them, except that they have
been informed that three Of the iegatees
named in the will-Andrew A Lipscon1b.
Lisle S. Lipscomb. and Maud Llpsconb-
were in some way related to the deceased.
but the petitioners have grave doubts as
to whether they are his heirs or next of
kin.
1t was provided in the wifi that if any
Of the benefCiaries should attempt to
break it, such beneficiary should lose his
OF her share.
With the exception of about $4,000, the
