trying to break the drought in Kan

1t was to stop such violations OF the

reference with their beer wagons they
could secure a decisive victory over
Trickett on the ground that he was
interfering with interstate commerce.
Mr.. Trickett's explanation shows
clearly that he was nabbing the beer
haulers- on an entirely different basis.
This evidence will probably be pre-
scented fully to Judge Pollock at the
hearing of the injunction suit, which
was set for today, in the federal court,
but which has been postponed until
next Monday owing to the inability of
Judge Pollock. to reach Topeka today
Mr.. Trickett said in speaking of the
situation: Il wobrdf like to have it un-'
derstood that 1 have not interfered
with any business of the beer wagons
which may be done under protection
of the interstate commerce commission.
If brewer uses q conveyance engaged
in interstate commerce in which to de-
liver liquors ordered by people in KAN

deliveries can not be molested by the
state authorities. But the state has
of this liquor from making retail sales
from their wagons while in Kansas,
and it is to stop such practices that I
have caused the arrest of drivers of
these wagons Such sales are entirely
unlawful, and render the drivers of
the wagons liable to criminal prosecu-

Attorney General Jackson has not
claimed that any of the state officers
had authority to seize beer wagons
simply because they were delivering
beer on the Kansas side of the line
1t might be possible for the receivers
of the breweries to seize the liquor af-
ter 1t had been delivered, provided it
could be shown that it was still the
property of the brewery company. --

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
John w. Newell Takes Charge of
Bradshaw Harness Store.

Judge j. G. Slonecker, referee in
bankruptcy, yesterday appointed John
w. Newell, receiver for the George L.
Bradshaw Harness company of this
city. Mr.. Bradshaw who constitutes
the entire firm entered a petition of
voluntary bankruptcy and Judge
Slonecker granted the petition. The
assets of Mr.. Bradshaw are exceed
ingly small and amount to but a few
hundred dollars, while his liabilities
amount to nearly $4,000. There are
several creditors of the firm but Moth
ing will be done in the bankruptcy
proceedings until a meeting of the
creditors is held which will probably
be in about two weeks.
Mr.. Bradshaw has been having
great deal of trouble in a business
way lately and was also recently sued
for a divorce by Mrs. Bradshaw. At
the time of filing the divorce petition
Mrs. Bradshaw enjoined her husband
from disposing of any of his property
until the divorce had been passed
upon. As Mr.. Bradshaw's creditors
We're pushing him pretty hard there
was no way left for him to justify his
creditors except through the bank
ruptcy act which eliminated in the ap-
pointing of a receiver.

HE MAY BE INSANE.
VIM. ROthchilds. Who Burned w. F..

= William Rothchilds, the farm hand
who has been in the county Jail for
some time, charged with burning the
barn of w. F. Shumate. south of the
ciyt, and who acts as though he is de-
mented, was brought before Judge
Dana of the district court this morn
ing and insisted on pleading guilty to
the charge against him.
County Attorney John Schenck re=
fused to sanction the plea as he does
not went to send him to the peniten-
tiary if his condition is such that he
is not responsible for his acts and has
asked that an investigation of his
sanity be made. The court appointed
J. V. Abrahams as his attorney and
he will have a trial as to his sanity. 3
When asked by Judge Dana why he
burned the barn which contained 16
head of horses which persisted and
entailed a loss of about $1,000, he
said: "Shumate would not take care
of his stock and did not feed them as
well as he should and I got mad at
him. He wouldn't curry the cookie
burrs out of the tails of the calves
and he did not manage things the way
that 1 thought that he should and that
is what made me mad at him."

MICHIGAN's NEW DEAL.
Wolverines Will Quit BlufIing and
Re-enter Big Nine Circles.

Chicago, May 3.-"Michigan will
return to the big nine conference this
year This was the prediction of a
university of Michigan student during
the visit of the Wolverine ball team to
Chicago yesterday.
According to undergraduate reason
ing, the ve-game-a-season rule for
football will be eliminated. The
retroactive feature of the three-year
rule will be nullif1ed by June. when
the graduations occur. 1t is thought
over at Ann Arbor that at the Deem
Der meeting of the delegates to the
conference here in Chicago the move
will be made to adopt seven-game
schedule for the colleges.
With Michigan back in the fold,
game with Chicago is regarded as
certain for 1908. Should the changes
be made at the June meeting, there is
chance of squeezing in a game in
1907, although Michigan does not de-
sire this, it is said.

TIME IS FLYING

The month of May is almost half gone, and it is none too early to commence preparations for grand celebration of the Nations birth day, the glorious Fourth of July. To perfect the details of a success ful celebration of the Natal Day requires time, and there is no good reason why we should not com mence now, if we are to celebrate, 50 that the fact may be we'll adver- tised in the neighboring towns and villages.
 That Wrangell is capable of do. ing things on short notice was last year demonstrated, when she cele- brated with only two days time in which to arrange and finance the effort. But how many more peo- ple would have been here from the hear by towns and how much more finances could have been secured if the various committees had had month, instead of two days, in which to work and advertiser
 Let's get busy in this regard, and have rip-roaring celebration.
 Another, and still nearer, event which should have our immediate attention is the day on which, in every quarter of the globe beauti. lied by the Stars and Stripes, trib- ute is paid to the Nations dead. Decoration Day comes on the thir- tieth day of the present month. Twenty-one days, only, remain in which to prepare exercises for the fitting commemoration of the deeds of valor performed by that glorious band of heroes which prevented the lending asunder of this people. We must not be lax about this matter, nor let the press of business stand between us and a fitting demon stration of the deep regard in which we hold those who sacrificed So much and endured such hard Ships that the nation might live.

ETERNAL YOUTH

DesMoines comes to the front with a new fad. She has in her midst society whose cult is "eter- nal youth"
 The object is enticing, and the membership will not lag as long as faddists hold out. The purposes are to so live that disease shall be reduced to a minimum and death be discounted approximately. The members are fined, suspended and expelled for lesser and greater in- dulgences in the luxuries of illness, and their lives are to be regulated,

morally, physically and mentally,

morally, physically and mentally, so as to conform to this principle. On the face of it there is room for all manner of mockery, but under lying 1t there is a thread of real wisdom and common sense.
 The average American of today is living off his or her nerves to a tremendous extent, the pace of bus mess, social and professional life is so swift and exacting that few can stand against the demand and re- tain normal balances at all, and any scheme of human endeavor or interest that shall reduce the strain, must be welcomed as a direct and palpable benefit.
 The title the new society has adopted, is, of course, a misnomer, and as remote from realization as any other of the wild theories ex- tant, but it is within human attain ment to make the youth of man of longer duration and far greater joy than is permitted under the regi- men now accepted on all sides, and which tend to curtail the essence and vigor of the years allotted to that season. The club may break the ice and set the new rules that shall lend to the better achieve ment, but beyond this it can not accomplish much. Money, and the feverish pursuit of money, will so long as money obtains as the chief est of all aims and desires of the poor human mind, batter down the best and effective of all such hopes. When the moneyless day shall dawn, then will the life of man be prolonged by virtue of the disap- pearance of mans most damning and destructive agency.

THE PEACE OF NATIONS

Now that the incredible ginius of the peoples of the earth have wrought almost everything that can be turned to the comfort, con. yenience and happiness of man. kind, it is within the puryiew of the logical destiny of man that the era of universal peace should be ushered in to stay.
 We need the blessing of univer- sal peace to create a basis upon which all the good things of life above referred to, shall be better and more widely distributed and applied. As things stand now there is a carking realization that the good things of life are lilly, un- wisely and most unfairly allotted, and hence the dissatisfaction that calls for the peace conferences all over the world.
 If the great convention at the Hague can but round up the na- tions and commit them to the pol icy of amnesty and forbearance vnd quietude, We of the several countries will see to it that peace prevails at home, after the sitting at the Dutch capital, if we have to kill off a few hundred thousand of our own fool fellows to accomplish the desired end.
 We are for peace at any cost; and it generally costs more than any other commodity, only we do not realize what we are paying for it all the time. Just imagine the calm existence that will ensue when we disband our armies and navies, throw our prison doors wide open, turn our gun factories into gymnasiums and our courts are abandoned to the pacific tenancies of the educators and kindergartens, chuck our six-shooters and rifles and shotguns into the abysmal slough of forgotten wrongs, take up our peace pipes and admit no argu- ments to supervene. Then we will know what light taxation means, and knowing will make it lighter. The vist that is opened up by this dream of "the peace of nations" is rosy and romantic enough to in- spire another Don Quixote, with the table reversed, and quicken the possibilities of an abandoned grave yard. Peace We'll have it if we have to set the world ablaze with mortal horrors for centuries to come, and prove our faith by dying in pursuit of it.-Ex.
