FOUGHT OVER AN OFFICE
Quarrel Over Road Overseer Brought
on Keehn-Bleisner Feud.

Corning, Kan. July 23.-Jealousy
over the Office of road overseer created
the feud between the Keehn and Bleis-
ner families which resulted in William
Bleisner, 80 years old, being shot and
killed by Frederick Keehn. AZ years
old, and Ferdinand Bleisner, 55 years
old, being probably fatally injured.
For twenty years the Bleisner and
Keehn families have lived on farms in
the same section of land. Both fami-
lies prospered until each was rated at
more than $4,000. In former years
they were friends and neighborS. Fred
erick Keehn was road overseer- Inen
one day an election was held and Will
lam Bleisner. son of Ferdinand. was
elected to the Office which had been
held by Ferdinand for ten years. The
Keehns stopped speaking to the Blels-
ners; insinuations were made by eacn
family about the other.
The Keehn children were ordered
sent home from the district school by
the trustees with the request that their
mother wash their faces, dress them IN
decent and clean clothes. This
aroused bitter objections from Fred
erick Keehn. who made open threats
to kill William BleiSner.
Keehn was deposed from the road
overseership last summer and when ne
surrendered the tools belonging to the
of keeping a new spade. Keehn called
Bleisner a liar. They were standing
in the road in front of the keehn
home when the accusation was made.
Keehn called to his sister Elizabeth,
Bring me my pistol; I will shoot this
two-faced dog" She refused ana
BleiSner went home.
Since that day last summer Keehn
has gone armed. He repeatedly threat
ened to shoot Bleisner, it is said, II th9
opportunity ever presented itself
Wednesday afternoon meeting or

the election of a teacher for the ensu-
| ino year. An argument arose about the
conduct of the pupils in the school,

SHOULDN'T BE A .F1GUREHEAD.
w. C. Austin Says State Printers
Duties Should Be Enlarged.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
My attention has been called to an
article in a recent issue of your paper
in which one of my opponents says that
county blank books cannot be made at
the state printing plant without an act
of the legislature. The people of KAN
sas are an intelligent people and are
familiar with the fact that the legisla-
ture makes all laws governing our state
institutions.
But to whom would the legislature
look for recommendations in regard to
printing if not to the state printer? I
take it that the state printer should be
more than a clerk or a figure-head.
take it that he should be practical
business man, and when he knows a
way to save thousands of dollars to
the taxpayers who are hiring him, it
is a part of his duty to tell the peo-
pie and the legislature how it can be
done.
Under the old plan of running things
the state printer made a cleaning of
about 100000 a year profit on the state
printing. The state invested 100000 in
printing plant, pays a state printer a
salary of $500 a year and saves over
$4,000 year or the investment. Was
that good business sense?
The state can take another step for
ward and have the state printing plant
make the blank books for the counties
and save more than $4,000 a year. which
now goes in profits to the blank book
trust. This book trust is anxious to
have someone elected state printer who

HAS FOUR MILLION SURPLUS.
State May Not Ask Minnesotans for
Any Taxes Next Year.

Minneapolis, Mimi. july 23.-Citi-
zens of Minnesota may not be called
upon to pay taxes next year. At pres
ent the treasury of the state is groan-
ing under the burden of a surplus
which never has been DUPLICATED. On
October l there will be nearly $4,000
900 in the state treasury. October 1.
1909, there was approximately $4,000
900 in the treasury.
The unusual amount of money in
the states cash box has come about
through the successful settlement OF
cases which have netted the common
wealth large sums of money. The lar
gest of these items came from the set
tlement of the lumber cases. the gross
earnings tax cases, the Kennedy inner
itance tax cases and others.
Not only have large sums of money
come into the treasury but they will
result in constantly augmenting
streams of gold in the direction of the
states Golfers. SO that Minnesota bids
fair to become a state unique in the
history of taxation-a state that may
find it not necessary, to tax its people
one cent for the general maintenance
of state government.

TWO THOUSAND STRIKE.
More Than 1000 of All Trades May
Go Out in Chicago.

Chicago, July 23.-More than 1900
men have struck on large buildings in
the course of construction, and be-
fore the end of next week it is predict
ed by labor leaders that more than
1000 men of all trades will have stop
ped work, completely crippling all con-
structing work in the city. President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is expected in Chicago
to take charge of the situation.
At a meeting held last night the
action taken by business agents in
calling out men on the Chicago &
Northwestern depot was ratified by all
the trades and the fight promises to be
one of the bitterest ever started in the
building trades of Chicago. As a re-
suit of last nights meeting 1900 men
did not return to work today on the
new Northwestern station.
The strike is the climax of a long
struggle between the elevator con-
structors and the Otis Elevator COM
pany, which has been employing ma
chinists to do the work of the other
organization. Some time ago Frank
Morrison, national secretary, directed
the Chicago central organization to
back the elevator constructors in the
stand which they had taken.

IF we had a state fair which would
be on a par with the agricultural prom

mean a daily attendance of $4,000 to 50,

MRS. BURDETTE VOTES.
Insists on Her Right and Is Permitted
to Cast Her Ballot.

Pasadena, Cal, July Establishing
on her rights as a large tax payer,
to vote at a bond election, Mrs. Rob-
ert Burdette, wife of the famous
preacher humorist, presented herself
at the polls yesterday and made such
a good argument that she was allowed
to cast her vote.
The officials mildly protested, but
Mrs. Burdette assured them that she
had sufficient education and sufficient
property and intended to cast her bal
lot, which she did. Mrs. Burdette is
a noted club woman and a firm be-
lever in woman's suffrage. She cell

CHILEAN PRESIDENT COMING.
Purpose of Long Trip to New York
Cause of Speculation.

New York, July 23.-The Spanish
American colony here has been spec
ulating for some time regarding the
visit which President Montt of Chile
is soon to make to this country. He
sailed from Santiago on July 6 and
will arrive here early in August. The
fact that no announcement was made
as to the exact purpose of the long
trip gave rise to many theories to ac-
count for the executives action. 1t
became known today, however, that
the truth of the matter is that Presi-
dent Montt is i'll and is going abroad
for treatment.
Just what ailment the Chilean chief
executive is suffering from or how Sc
rious is his condition is not known. He
will spend only few days in this city
on his way to Europe. On account
of the state of his health there will be
no elaborate entertainments in his
honor.

COLONEL SALES EIGHT YEARS
Of SERVICE.

Several days ago this paper com
mented upon the appointment Of Colo.
mel W. w. Sale. Of Norfolk. TO the
Office Of acknowledgement OF the
State, expressing regret that Cover
nor-elect Mann had seen fit TO put
into this important position a man
with no especial qualifications for dis
charging its duties. The Norfolk
Ledger Dispatch declares that the ap-
Monument OF Colonel Sale needs no
defense and says that Il is surprising
that some newspapers refer to the
colcnel as man without military
training, in view OF his eight years
of active service in the militia
This paper was not aware of the
fact that Colonel Sale had had eight
wears OF service in the militia. Ger
tainly he must have served in very
lnconspicuous capacity, as only the
Norfolk papers seem to have known
that he served at all. And it seems
that q term of service. possibly as a
priyate or as non commissioned Of
ficer. hardly would make a man es-
recially ut for the Office CT adjutant
