COURT TROUBLES.

Another imitation of a trial
was held in Judge Lambert's S
court Tuesday afternoon. The
arguments Of the defense in the
case were uncalled for, and unbe-
coming, to any person claiming
to belong to the better. element of
society. Judge Lambert after
h caring the abuse, insults, etc.
offered soon rendered his verdict,
discharging the defendant and
retaining his reputation a. being
just and right in his capacity as
Justice of the peace. Such cases
as this one, could in our opinion
be better settled at home thus
saving the publicity etc. which
is acquired when entered in
court.

garding the incident floating
about the city and the impression
got out at first that it was a cold
blooded murder. There was a
report to the effect that Schmalse
had telephoned the sheriff S
Office giving himself up.
When Sheriff Wells reached
the scene he found that q cor
oners jury had already exhon-
Grated young schnaalse and upon
further examination ascertained
that the1old man had died pre-

Some prominent Topeka people went
duck hunting the other day and had
no more than put their decoys in place
when a farmer came riding along on
horseback. He stopped and then went
galloping away only to return shortly
with his son also on the back of the
steed. With guns in hand they crawled
along on their -stomachs for matter of
300 yards and fired II voIleys at the
decoys, sending heads and tails flying
in all directions. When the would be
hunters realized their mistake they
made their exit at breakneck speed.

HE WRITES A LETTER.
Tells Sec. Baddors Delighted to
Come to Topeka.
Had Wide Experience and is an
Eloquent Speaker.

1t is not often that as distinguished
a speaker as. John Barrett is Sc
cured for a Topeka gathering. The
Commercial club is fortunate in Sc
curing a man of whom it might be
said as it was of the illustrious Cecil
Rhodes that he thinks in con-
tinents.'' The z o'clock "John Bar
rett' dinner at the Commercial club
on Wednesday evening will be the
most brilliant affair that has been
held in the clubs new quarters.
"Our Sister Republics; Wonderland
OF Opportunity and Progress will be
the title of Mr.. Barrett's address, 1t
will deal especially with the relations
of the United States to the republics
of South and Central America and
their relation to each other. It is a
subject that the people of Topeka
know but little about and there is
probably no one better qualified to
handle the subject than Mr.. Barrett.
At the present time Mr. Barrett is
director of the International Bureau
of American Republics, and has been
United States minister to Siam, to
Argentine, to Panama and to Colom-
bia: commissioner general of foreign
affairs of the st. Louis worlds fair,
and special plenipotentiar of the
United States to the Pan-American
conferences. The press often speaks
of him as the. Nations Peace
Maker" He is tall and imposing in
appearance, and is said to be bril-
liant speaker.
Mr.. Barrett is looking forward with
pleasure to his visit in Topeka as is
shown by the following letter which
was received by the secretary of the
Commercial club who was successful
in securing him to speak before the
members of the club:

of meeting your representative men. I

atty but to interest in the expanding
influence of our great nation-I feel
that shall be abundantly rewarded in
going to Topeka and endeavoring to
awaken the interest of your city and
state in our vast opportunities and re-
Sponsibilities in our sister republics.
II can not at this moment tell just
what train will bring me into Topeka,
but I will let you know not later than
the 18th, either by letter or telegram.
I shall make it point to get there in
time to see something of your city. and
would greatly enjoy an automobile ride
through it's residential and business
sections. Yours very cordially,

HERE is A HARDSHIP.
Children of Edmond Have to Carry
Water to School.

Now comes E. J. Launcelot of Ed
mond, who says that on account of the
new drinking cup law he is forced to
send his little girl many miles to
school, trudging with a huge water
jug. There is no well in this district
and all of the school children have to
carry their water or die of thirst.
Mr.. Launcelot has written to the gov
ernor of his troubles and he deserves a
hearing. He says that every day the
children have to sit in school with
heir dresses and clothing soaked with
water spilled from the jugs and pals
they have to carry their drinking
water from their homes. In cold
weather Mr.. Launcelot sees grave dam
ger in a damDness of this kind.
He stated to the governor in his let
ter that the school board has plenty of
money on hand and they should dig a
we'll. This seems to be the only way
out of the trouble and the governor
has referred the letter to Superintend-
ent Fairchild for authority. Mean
while the little children are drinking
their own we'll water out of their own
pals and their own drinking cups.
This is loyalty to Kansas laws and DIR.
Crumbine thinks the children should
be rewarded for their patriotism.
