This is not due so much to luck as to
his ability as a lawyer and speaker.
He does not get begged up in legal
complications, because he knows the
path and sticks to it. Therefore he
climbs in with impunity where older

escapes with the posy.
Being a home product, and young

a fast special train and railroaded
through both houses, with Stone push

the higher legal deciders of the state

WABASH OVERFLOWS.
One Thousand People Without Food,
Shelter or Clothing.

Terre Haute Ind, Jan. 22-The break
in the wabash river levee, a mile south
of this city, near the village of Taylor
vile, has widened from Is feet last
night to several hundred feet today and
the surrounding country for miles is
inundated. The river is still rising.
One thousand people of the villages
Of Taylorville and West Terre Haute
are homeless, the majority of them in
a pitiable plight with neither food,
clothing nor shelter.
The break came so suddenly that few
were able to get their belonging to high
ground. Hundreds of head of stock and
other domestic animals have persisted.
Driven from her room by the food
Taylorville woman went to the attic of
her home and there alone gave birth to
a child.
Charitable organizations are caring
for the homeless.

One of the duties of a second-term-
er in the legislature is to show the
first termers that they don't Know
Much. This is a laudable intention,
but it sometimes reacts. The new
ones frequently show the old ones
where kindness would have been bet
ter. Before the close of the session il
may become apparent that a little pet
ting, feeding and other attention
might help in the training of new
ones. Very unsatisfactory results have
appeared after a treatment consisting
of a slap on the nose or a kick in the
slats."' The New One is domestic
animal when properly handled, but Is
liable to bite when mistreated. A new
one should be allowed to sleep on the
rug in the front hall, and never be
chastised with an ak handle. Kind

FIRE AT PHlLLlPSBURG.
Plant of j. Q. Royce Included in the
100000 Loss.

Phillipsburg, Kan, Jan. 22.-Three large
business houses located in the old bank
block were burned out last night by fire
which started in the middle of the block,
in the dry goods store of Gebhart & Son.
John Q. Royce's printing office, where
the Phillipsburg Dispatch is printed, was
totally destroyed.
The block destroyed has a frontage of
70 feet, and is divided into three parts.
The basement in the corner is occupied
by the Dispatch office; the first floor by
j. o. loves real estate office, and the
second floor by r. w. Pope, a dentist.
The next building, where the fire started
at 10 o'clock last night, was occupied by
the Gebhart dry goods store. The second
floor was used by the Odd Fellows. Geb-
hart owned the building.
The third building was occupied by
Cummings billiard hall, and v. Cum
mings used the second floor as a dwell
ing. Cummings owned the building.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
total loss will probably be close to $780,
600. There is no fire department at Phil
lpsburg able to handle a big fire. A
space of % feet separated the burning
building from other buildings in the block
and a substantial fire wall kept the flames
from spreading.

Lincoln Dispatch Says Federal Court
Law is No Good.

j. w MCClary of Norfolk, deputy
federal court clerk stationed here, has
received no word as to what his duties
shall be. The two Judges Munger have
arranged court schedule. A dis.
patch from Lincoln says that Norfolk
and other court towns have been hand.
ed lemon and that no real sessions
of court will be held under the now
law. How true this Is must be dem.
onstratcd by experience In the court
business.
Under the arrangement all motions
or orders arising in Lincoln, Hastings,
Grand Island and McCool divisions
will be presented to and heard by
Judge T.. c. Munger at Lincoln, and
those arising in Omaha, Norfolk, Chad.
ron and North Platte divisions will
come before Judge James w. Munger.
This rule will apply at all times, ex-
cept In case of sickness or absence
from the bench, for other reasons of
either Of the Judges, when the other
Judge will hear the motion.
This is what the Lincoln dispatch
says:
Lincoln, Nobo March 15.-Lawyers
out in the state are beginning to sus-
pect that they have been handed n
lemon in the matter Of the new fedcr-
al judicial division bill of congress.
One of the complaints that has been
most frequent was that every lawyer
In the state, no matter where he re-
sided, had to try all of his cases In
Omaha. There was nothing in the law
that compelled this, but the judge and
clerks and the marshal, all of whom
reside in Omaha, have evidenced such
disinclination to journeyiug elsewhere
to hold court that as matter of dis
erection the lawyers have always con
scented" to trying their cases at Omaha
Notwithstanding that the law provided
for terms at Lincoln, Hastings and
Norfolk. In recent years the set terms
elsewhere than Omaha have become
regular farces, court meeting only to
adjourn,
| When the bin giving the state two
| judges and a redistricting was passed
the lawyers were gratitied to know
| that it provided that terms of court
should be held at eight different cities
in the state at which all the cases
originating in that district must be
| tried and that a clerk to keep the
records must be appointed in each
But they have already discovered that
| their dreams are over.
Clerk Thummel, of the circuit court
and Clerk Hoyt, OF the district court
have announced that they will appor
ton a salary of but $40 a month to
each of these clerks, except at Lincoln
where they propose to put in a, $50
man. These clerks will merely re,
ceive filings, rubber stamp them and
forward them to Omaha. This is TAX
en- by the lawyers to mean that the
clerks don't propose to do any more
travelling than they must, and that the
court term will be mere by-stations on
the round trip to and from Omaha.

HOUSE DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Blaze Causes Loss of About 5000 at
McComb House.

The home of w. F. McComb at the
Junction was damaged by fire Friday
morning. The blaze originated in the
upper floor of the house, which is a
story and half frame structure. The
Junction department extinguished the
fire before the city companies had
progressed far over the rough roads.
The damage to the house and contents
will not reach 5000, fully covered by
insurance. Mr.. McComb, who is a car
penter, is working at Oakland, Calf,
at this time, but his family were at
home.
