GOES TO The JURY.
BolIack Murder Case Reaches the
Final Stage.

The. Bolfack murder case went to
the jury this afternoon at 1880
o'clock, the forenoon having been
taken up in the reading OF instruc-
lions by the court, and the argument
of the attorneys. The jury is
equipped with three alternatives, q
conviction for murder in the second
degree, one for granddaughter in the
first degree and another for man
slaughter in the fourth degree.
The efforts of the defense were di-
rected mostly toward showing the
jury that the defendant was guilty
only of manslaughter in the lower
degree, having killed his neighbor in
a drunken fight. without premedita-
ton. The court room was filled with
interested Russians during the argu-
ment today It Is said that nearly
every resident of Little Russia" the
North Topeka settlement where the
killing of Andrew Mauer by Joseph
Bollack occurred last summer, Is a
partisan who is either for or against
Bollack with all his heart.

is HOCH WAITING.
Believed in Washington Announcement
VIII Come After Long Votes.

| Washington, Feb. 2S.-The opinion
prevails here among Republicans that
Governor Hoch is merely waiting for an
| issue, for something specific, in order
to enter the race for United states
senator. 1t Is presumed that he would
| like to have this to use against Sena-
tor Long.
The vote on the Aldrich currency bill
will be taken perhaps this week, and
certainly early next week 1t is the
impression here that Governor Hoch is
waiting to see If Senator Long votes
against the guaranty amendment TO 70
this bill, and, if he does. to use 1t as
experimenting the issue he already has
in the state on this subject.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, has an
amendment to the Aldrich bill seeking
to guaranty deposits in national banks.
This is one of many amendments to the
Aldrich bill. These amendments VIII
come up first being considered and de-
bated in the senate, and votes taken on
them, before the bill proper Is taken
up The vote on the amendments, In
Guiding the Nelson amendment, will be
record votes, of course, and there Will
be another case Of the famous roll
CALI used so extensively by Senator La
Toilette in his campaign on the Cnau-
tauqua platforms against various SEN
ators, including Senator Long, follow
ing the passage of the Hepburn rate
law
Senator Longs stand on the question
of guaranty of national bank deposits
is well known. When he was in Kan
sas during the holidays, and the mat
ter was at whitehead preceding the ex-
traordinary session of the legislature
which Governor Hoch convened with
guaranty as an emergency, Senator
Long in an interview declared there
would be no legislation by congress
guaranteeing deposits. Since that time
he has written many letters on the SUD-
ject, stating his views.
1t is therefore probable that, When
the amendments to the Aldrich Dill are
voted upon, Senator Long will not only
vote against the Nelson amendment
and any other seeking to guaranty ma
tional bank deposits, but may make
few remarks upon the subject.
In this connection it is not amiss to
note the stand of the Kansas deIega-
ton individually on this subject. Sena-
tor Curtis, Representatives Campbell,
Scott, and Reeder are strongly in favor
of guaranty. Senator Long. and REPRE-
sentatives Calderhead and Anthony are
as strongly opposed to such legislation
So far as known, neither Mr.. Miller nor
Judge Madison has declared himself on
this subject. Mr. Murdoch has been
quoted on both sides, and has also rail-
ed to declare himself.
1t may be that the vote on the Mel
son amendment by Senator Long may
be the deciding point with Governor
Hoch as to whether he will enter the
race for senator against Mr.. Long and
Mr. BriStow.

Have Quit Making Whisky.

Aurora, Mo-, Jan. 20,-Every dis-
tillery except one In the Southern
Missouri district, which includes
eighteen counties, has been forced
out OF business by the spread OF the
prohibition sentiment which has
causedpraciically the entire southern
portion OF the state to become "dry"
territory. The one distillery still
running Is at Verona, In Lawrence
county. Before the spread OF the
prohibition sentiment there were
eighteen dlstiller!es in this part OF
the state. Nine OF them have now
ceased operations, while the other
are only storing whisky until they
con dispose OF it to the wholesalers
and quit.
In the same territory there vii
have been seventy saloons forced oul
of business " hen the law goes into
effect in all OF the towns andcounties
which have voted Tor prohibition.
As the time approaches for the
nomination for city, county and
state officers the question OF prohi-
bition Is entering more largely into
the question OF the availability OF
candidates Tor office, and it is going
TO be extremely difiicnls for any man
who does not believe in strict law en-.
iorcement TO ge5 u nomination for
any office.
