If the Wyandotte crowd can land
Pocock, it will smooth over long

were victories for 1.-THE machine;" the
appointment of Judge L. C. True to

much per day, which Johnson delivered

lars that he delivered public addresses

ed from each member whose application

LETTER OF REGRET.
In Which the President Approves
Monument to Confederate Dead.

Washington, Feb. Elm expressing
regret at being unable to attend a
lecture on "Castles in the Air. to be
delivered here by Senator Taylor
(Tenn.) 70 rthe benefit of the monu-
ment to be erected to the confederate
dead at Arlington, President Roose-
veit today heartily endorsed the move
ment for the monument. His ap-
prevail was expressed to a committee
headed by former Secretary of the
Navy Hillary A. Herbert, and former
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia,
representing the Arlington Confeder-
ate Monument association. The presi
dent said:
LAS 1 have already told you,
for the reasons I then gave you, Mr..
Herbert, it is not possible for me to
attend. If 1 broke through my rule
i none case it would mean I would
have to break through in many others.
If there were any case in which L
could break through it it would be
this: For 1 wish to express my deep
est sympathy with and most cordial
approval of the purpose and the i'm
portance of what you are going to do.
The monument to the confederate
dead, which you will raise will COM
memorate among other scores of thou
my mothers half brother; and my
mothers whole brother, who went
down in the Alabama, having fired the
last gun fired from her, but was picked
up in the escape and lived for many
years afterwards.
when I was at Vicksburg I. was
taken out to see the battlefield, the
park as it now is, and 1 studied with
peculiar and reverentiaI attention the
inscription on the Pennsylvania
monument which you have just
quoted. 1 was taken up to see it by
a body guard composed equally of
union and confederate veterans 1
feel that among all nations we have
been blessed peculiarly beyond all
others, because now the memory of
the valor shown alike by the men who
wore the blue and the men who wore
the grey is a heritage of heroes for
the whole country. Not far from the
monument which will stand to COM
memorate the confederate dead. not
far from the many monuments com
memorating those who died in the
Union army at Arlington now stands
the monument to the soldiers of nv
regiment, who died at Santiago and
among those I should say there are
about as many whose fathers wore the
grey as whose fathers wore the blue
So in a sense that little monument to
those who died in the little war helps
to emphasize the reason for the monu-
ment to those who died in the great
war. wish you all success and 1 wish
that 1t were in my power to do more
and thus testify, as I am now testify
ing to my sympathy for the success
Of the patriotic endeavor in which
you are engaged"

ORDERS CASE REARGUED
Clay Center Light Case to Have
Another Inning.

The supreme court has called for a
reargument of the Clay Center electric
light case, which was presented at the
January term. This case involves the
right of the city of Clay Center to
build a municipal electric light plant
when a private corporation had one of
the self renewing" franchises such as
used to be held by the Topeka Water
company. The points upon which the
supreme court desires reargument in
dictate that they are questioning the
validity of the 1886 law which author
lied the construction of municipal
plants for various public utilities. The
points for reargument are as follows:
L. Did a city of the second class, on
February %, 1886, have the power to
provide electric light for the private
use of its inhabitants?
2. Did a city of the second class, on
February %. 1886, have power to pro-
vide by contract with an electric light
company for lighting its public streets,
lanes and alleys for a period of twenty
one years, and at the same time bind
expiration of such. period for another
term of twenty-one years?
g. Did a city of he second class, on
February p, 1886, have the power to
provide by contract with an electric
light company light for its public
streets, lanes and alleys and in the
same contract bind itself to purchase
a the end of that time, from such
company. the plant which was equip
ped for such purpose?
