ATCHISON MUST STOP.
Has Been Polluting Missouri River
Says Board of Health.

Naughty Atehison must quit Dump
ing its dead animals into the Missouri
river, or the state board of health will
fly into the city and hurt somebody.
This is the verdict which is an
nounced on the Atchison case A few
days ago, DR.. CTumbine, accompanied
by Prof. Hoad, the water expert from
the state university, went to Atchison
to investigate some reports about the
pollution of the river. They found
that the reports were true. Seven car
casses of cattle in various stages of
decomposition, were found in the
edge of the river, where they had
been dumped by a skinning concern.
This concern demonstrated to the
secretary of the board of health, how
ever, that the city didn't object to
this; in fact, there was tacit under
right The city's own special dump
was investigated, and there the con-
ditions were almost as bad as at the
skinning yards.
aren't you afraid this will pollute
the water of the river?" asked DR..
Crumb!ne
"Oh, Move have this stuff dump
ed down below our intake"
but what about Leavenworuh,
down below you?''
ooh, Leavenworth-well, Leaven-
worth will have to look out for ITSELF
was the complacent reply of the
Atchison people.
However, under the laws of the
state, no city can pollute a stream to
the menace of other cities, and Atchi-
son will have to find some other way
to dispose of its dead animals.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Depew Says Morgan and COrtelyOu
stopped the Panic.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Senator De-
pew today replied to a recent charge
made in the senate by Senator Culber-
son of Texas that during the recent
favored New York city in depositing
public money in national repositories.
The danger that was SO great, he
said, was avoided by the wise action of
the secretary Of the treasury, assisted
by that phenomenal genius, Pierpon,
Morgan, who, associating himself with
the bankers of New York, provided the
means by which the banks could be
saved
At the time of this utterance, Mr..
Morgan occupied a seat in the private
gallery Of senators and was a careful
listener to all that was said.

MAY COME TO Topeka.
Another Rumor That Union Pacific
Shops Will Be Moved.

According to a well founded rumor
which is gaining circulation along the
Union Pacific lines in Kansas, the shops
of this road which are now located at
Armstrong, a suburb Of Kansas City,
Kan, will be transferred to Topeka
within a short time. Other plans for
the reorganization of the operation of
the road on the Kansas division are
also rumored.
The run1ors probably have gained cir
culation through the announcement
that Salina would be made a division
point on the Union Pacific commencing
with March 4. This has been done to
shorten the freight runs. Ellis will
will Junction City, SO that Salina ap-
pears to have an entirely new division.
The force at Salina will be enlarged.
New sidings will be built and extra
switch engines will be added
With the creation of the Salina di-
vision it Is thought that the division
headquarters now at Ellis would be
transferred to Sharon Springs and it
might be that the shops and offices
promised some time ago and generally
moved to Salina that being a more CEN
trail point.
That the Armstrong shops would be
moved to Topeka has been generally
thought to have been the plan and has
never been denied by the Union Pacific
officials. Something is evidently in
store for Topeka along this line as the
road has been buying land and has Sc
cured large amount along the west
ern borders of the city. A tie treating
plant has been started but the land of
the company there is too large for this
purpose.
The Union Pacific shops at Kansas
City are too small to care for the bust
ness of the company. The shops are
located between the north bank of the
Kaw river and some high bluffs on the
north so that 1t will never be possible
to enlarge the shops without enormous
expense. The land that is now occu-
pied by the Armstrong shops is also
badly needed for terminal facilities.
Topeka has also at various times been
considered as better place for the
shops on account of the new Union
Pacific line to the north. The rolling
stock on this line cannot be cared for
except by a haul to Kansas City. The
line through Onaga when extended to
Marysville win add a large amount of
rolling stock to that line which could
be better cared for here than by use
| less haul to Kansas City and return.
All the Union Pacific officials in To-
peka are out of the city today so that
no confirmation or denial Of the current
rumors could be secured.

ENDS FAMOUS SUIT.
Action That Caused Kansas Land
Controversy Compromised.

BY vote of the state school fund
commissioners this morning 1t was
decided to compromise for $464, the
judgment which the state secured
against George K. Spencer for $3.50
in the famous Cove county land case.
Under this compromise the state
receives pay at the legal rate of SO
per acre for this tract of land, which
has been the basis for the most i'm
portant decision of the supreme court
ever rendered, so far as western Kan
sas land is concerned
1t was the lawsuit involving this
land which brought forth the decision
of the supreme court that the "orig-
inal certificate holder whose land
had been Illegally forfeited, might
come back and obtain possession Of
the land by paying up all deficiencies.
And it was also in regard to this
same tract of land that the supreme
court held that having set about es-
tablishing ownership under an "orig-
inal certificate" the claimant must not
enter into collision with the new pur-
chaser to buy him out and prove up
under the new certificate instead of
the old one.

POLLOCK TO MOVE.
' United States Judge VIII Live In Kan
sas City.

The official residence of Judge John
G. Pollock of the United States dis
trict and circuit courts has been
changed from Topeka to Kansas CITY
Kan, and as soon as Judge Pollock
and his family return from Mexico
they will go to Kansas City, Kan, for
a permanent residence.
Judge Pollock recently sold his
home in Winfield, and has been out
searching for new residence for
something like a year. Attempts were
made to dispose OF Topeka residence
property to him. but he has had a
feeling of partially for the city at the
mouth of the Kaw, though he has
also considered Leavenworth. Judge
Pollock has lived at the Throop Motel
while in Topeka and he intends to
take up his residence at a hotel in
kansas City, Kan, until he has Sc
1ected for himself a home. 1t is pro-
bable that he will build. The re-
moval means that special hearings in
the United States district and circuit
courts at Topeka will be thing of
the past with the exception of few
instances. 1t means that the attor-
neys who used to come to this city
from FIT Scott. Wichita and Kansas
City, Kan, as we'll as other cities will
go to the city where the court will
maintain its special residence. 1t rep
resents a loss of considerable amount
of money to the hotels and also q less
er degree to the merchants. AS an
instance in one case alone, there were
present in Topeka from Kansas City,
kan. % attorneys in special hear
ing.
There is a bill pending now in con-
gress to appoint at Kansas City, Kan,
deputy clerks of the United States
circuit and district courts which
would mean the removal from Tope-
ka of George Sharitt and the appoint
ment of a circuit court deputy here
for that is the intention of Mr.. Shar-
lit should the bill pass. This would
still further cut down the number of
attorneys who would be drawn here
to practice and spend their money.
