THE PRIMARY

Itseems to bepretty generally agreed
among Democrats that there will be
no serious fight against the primary
plan OF nomination at the Roanoke
convention, although the dissatis-
faction against it is quite general in
the ranks OF the party. This only
means, I'm our judgment, that the pri-
mary plan has not quite worn itself
out as yet. Its days, however, are
numbered, and as soon as she vari-
Gus candidates for governor get
through with the hair pulling they
are now preparing to give each
other the Democrats of Virginia will
be glad TO bid it adieu. 1t is better
to let the primary plan kill itself. as
it win do. than to kill Is before a
great majority of Democrats become
convinced of its impossibility.
The primary plan of nomination
was inaugurated in Virginia by two
classes OF persons. Those who really
advocated the plan from principle.
and those who through it's opera
ton expected and desired TO elimi-
nate Senator Martin from politics.
Many OF the former class have be-
come convinced by the practical op-
Grafton OF the plan that its virtues
are wholly imaginary and theoreti-
cal, and they are prepared to repudi-
ate it, while all OF the latter class
have been convinced that senator
Martin is invincible before the peo-
pie, and many OF them, therefore.
have no further use for the primary.
While is still has some adherents,
both from principle and prejudice,
they are daily decreasing and its end
is in sight.

GETS HIS FARM BACK
j. b. Moore Wins Action Resulting
From Judgeship Contest.

Lakin, June PA jury in the case
of J. B. Moore against w. r. Hop
kins tried in the district court this
week returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff and set aside deed for
a $40 acre farm which was given by
Moore to Hopkins for legal services.
The case grew out of a controversy
which began during the campaign
which resulted in the election oc Will
liam H Thompson, a Democrat, over
w. r. Hopkins, the Republican cam
didate, for district Judge.
The campaign was a hot ore and
characters were assailed on all sides
and though the district Is Republican
by a large majority and the Repub-
lican nominee one of the Oldest resi-
dents of the county he was defeated
by Judge Thompson who had but re-
Gently moved into the district. ]. B.
Moore. who lived at Ulysses, was
one of Judge Thompson's supporters
and incurred the enmity of the fol-
lowers OF the Republican nominee by
publishing an affidavit rejecting upon
Hopkins. He was arrested for libel
and acquitted.
A barn belonging to w. o. Finch
of Garden City was set on fire one
night and completely destroyed with
its contents of considerable value.
A few days later ]. B. Moore was ar
rested charged with the crime and
nlDlOyGu W. IIOphAAAo e1o cIl az
torney to defend him. Although
Moore claimed that he could prove
that he was at Deerfield, 16 miles
west of Garden City, on the night of
the fire he was thrown in the county
jail and kept there for nearly two
weeks.
Moore has claimed from the first
that as his attorney Hopkins refused
to subpoena witnesses until he gave
him a deed to 320 acres of land in
Grant county and that he then re-
fused to subpoena them but secured
his release from jail
The case to set aside the deed was
tried by Judge Gordon L. Finley of
the Dodge City district, Judge
Thompson refusing to hear the case.
The jury found all of the issues in
favor of Moore which resulted in the
cancellation of the deco, without the
payment of a fee Of any kind as the
jury found that the deed was pro-
cured through freud on the part of
Hopkins and his associates.

AWFUL BIDDLE CREEK
City Must Look After It or Be
Sued.

Unless the city takes active meas
ures to properly impound and carry
off the flood waters from Biddle creek
it is going to be confronted with a
lawsuit brought by Indignant residents
living in East Topeka. They have
gone SO far as to consult three attor-
ed for this purpose.
The city council thinks that the east
side should pay for the work that is
necessary while some of the property
owners think that the city as a whole
should pay for the cost of the contem-
plated improvements.
AT a special meeting of the council
which will probably be called for next
Monday night the creation Of a benefit
district to pay for the riprapping of
the Biddle creek banks and the con-
struction of a concrete spillway will
be discussed. This will cost on the
engineers estimate $1,750. The paving
of Locust street from Eighth avenue
to Fourth street and East Sixth ave-
nue. from the viaduct to Locust togeth-
er with the change of grade Of East
Sixth avenue at Locust will also be a
part and parcel of the discussion Res
olutions to change the grades of the
two streets referred to were introduced
ing were given the approval of the
streets and walks committee.
People who drive horses and those
who ride motorcycles, or bicycles or
drive automobiles will have to slow up
when they come to street crossings
under an ordinance which is proposed
for passage. Horses will have to come
to walk and the other vehicles must
not exceed 4 miles an hour because of
the danger of hurting pedestrians. OF
course some discretion must be used
and the ordinance when it comes to
the suburbs will not be so rigidly ap-
piled. The fine for violation is from
SO to s25. For failing to stay on the
right side of the street the fine is 81
to 800.
A sidewalk petition for the east side
of Ash street from State to Chase
streets was recommended for passage.
The request of property owners to con-
struct a sidewalk on the south side of
Eleventh street from Clay to Fillmore
streets of some other material than
brick at their own expense was grant
ed. The street commissioner has been
charged with looking after the surface
water which floods West Sixth avenue

ATHLETES0FF FOREUR0PE
Will Compete i'm Olympic Games in
London

New York. June 27.-When the
steamer Philadelphia sailed for Eu-
rope today it carried practically all of
the American team of athletes who
are to compete in the Olympic games
at London. In many quarters it is
regarded as the strongest and most
representative body of athletes ever
sent from America to compete with
Europes pick. Thousands of enthusi-
asts crowded the pier long before the
steamer was scheduled to sail, and
several brass bands enlivened the
occasion.
Both Manager Halpin and Trainer
Murphy said the men will train all
the way over. They will use the poop
deck for the work and board will be
rugged up for running and jumping.
They will have special training
table and a gymnasium with all the
necessary apparatus aboard.
Two members of the team are so
anxious to compete in London that to-
day they began their trip across tie
Atlantic as stokers, one of them on

TESTING THE LAMPS
City Light Commissioners Trying to
Find Which Is Best.

Tests extending over several weeks
are now in progress by the board of
electric light commissioners who are
attempting to settle which of the new
types of street lights is the most eff
cient. The Westinghouse flame lamp
and the Magnetic lamp of the General
Electric company are the two lamps
now undergoing test. The two lamps
have been hung for the past several
evenings at Second and Jefferson
streets and tested with voltameter and
wattmeter to discover the amount of
current used by the lamps and also
their efficiency. The lamps will then
be hung beginning with Monday at
Seventh and Quincy streets where a
general test will be had, each lamp be-
ing hung in place for one week.
Both the lamps are practically of the
same type. The lamp which satisfies
the commissioners best will be recon-
mended to the council to be installed
as a part of the general system of i'm
provement upon which the commits
sioners are now working.

regiment will be held in Topeka on the
ninth and tenth of September, during
the state fair The event promises to
be one of the most successful ever
held and a number of special attrac-
tions are being arranged for the occa-
sion including a sham battle. The
medals which are to be distributed
among the members who served in the
Philippines. according to an act of
congress, have been cast and will be
distributed on this occasion.
Between seven and eight hundred
members of the regiment are living in
the state at this time and the reunion
will attract many others who have left
the state since the Spanish war and
the return of the regiment to Amerl-
can soil. A number of the more severe
battles of the Spanish-American war
were fought by this regiment after
the members were entitled to their
discharge.
This fact was called to the atten-
ton of congress and that body ap-
propriated money with which to pur-
chase medals to be distributed among
those VINO participated III lfleSe eHcHlS-
The number includes practically every
member of the fighting Twentieth
who fought in the Philippine islands.

Fifteen New York veterinaries
made the discovery yesterday that the
dose of anesthetic required to put a
rhinoceros to sleep Is a pound and
three-quarters of chloroform and
half a pound of ether.
This accession to veterinarian
science was made during an operation
to remove cataracts on the eyes of
Mogul, the Indian rhinoceros in the
Bronx Zoo. Mogul, after succumbing
to more than half a gallon of
anethetic, remained undeer its in
fiuence for an hour and at the end of
that time began to crunch hay as
though nothing had happened.
Through blow on the head in his
native jungle Mogul nearly lost the
sight of both eyes, and the operation
was agreed upon after careful exami-
