HANSON PUSHING CASE.
Lindsborg Attorney Who Is Suing Su-
preme Court for $685. Keeps Busy.

A demurrer to the petition of John F.
Hanson in his suit against the Kansas
supreme court judges for $4,000 damages,
was filed in the district court this morn
ing. Argument of the demurrer will be
heard by Judge A. w. Dana probably a
week from Saturday.
James A. Mcclure and Clad Hamilton,
two young lawyers of Topeka, filed the
demurrer for the supreme bench and will
conduct the defense. Their appointment
by the highest tribunal in the state is
looked upon as the conferment of a great
honor The Shawnee county bar recent
ly made q formal offer of service to the
justices, asking them to make a selection
from their number to fight the Lindsborg
attorney with the heavy grievance. The
two young men appointed were taken
from justices chambers. J. A. Mcclure
is secretary to Chief Justice w. J. Johns
ton and Clad Hamilton secretary to JUS
tice Henry F. Mason.
The Lindsborg attorney, Hanson, sues
for damages on the ground of libel for
failure to commend his action of refus-
ing to answer questions in the Mcpherson
probate court and for neglect of duty in
failing to admit him to bail when he had
been committed to Jail for contempt of
that probate court.
The demurrer simply alleges INSULT
cheney of the petition for action. Hanson
has been confined in Jail some eight
months He now has suit pending in the
supreme court on a writ of error in his
case.

his death was caused by an attack of
apoplexy.
Relative to the suggestion that the
narcotic might have been taken with
suicidal intent, is too absurd to be
considered at all, as he called at this
office few hours previous to the time
he was found, and explained his alb
sence for that day, and informed US
that he would be at work in the morn
ing, and at that time he was in his
usual pleasant and happy mood. AS a
mechanic and employee he was of the
first rank, and always dependable, and
was held in the highest esteem by all
with whom he came in contact.
In order that his family and friends
should know the facts in this matter,
I ask you to please publish this letter.
Very truly yours,

GAS EXPLOSION CASE ON.
Luengene Is Suing Gas Co. for Dam
ages From Capper Explosion.

Trial of the case of Charles S. Luen-
gene against the Consumers Light,
Heat & Power company was resumed
again today in district court after a
postpOnement over election day. Prog
ress in the trial is slow owing to the
bearing the outcome will have on a
number of other cases pending and
about to be prepared relative to other
gas explosions occurring about the
same time last winter.
The testimony of the plaintiff prob
ably will be finished by night and the
defense will begin tomorrow. The
testimony today consisted in evidence
of the presence of gas under the sur
face of the city during the time of the
Capper explosion in December last and
regarding the extent of Luengene's in
juries.
Excavation Inspector ShuItz, who
during that month tested for gas at
openings and manhoIes and drove
holes in the pavements searching for
the explosive, testified that he had
found it in many places along Kansas
avenue, Eighth street and in the re-
gion of Jackson and Seventh streets,
sions were most violent.
Ex-Mayor William Green took the
witness chair to tell of notifying Man
ager L. G. Treleaven of the gas COM
pany to hasten repairs of the leaking
mains. DR.. c. M. Hensley to whose
office near the corner of Eighth and
Kansas avenues Luengene was hurried
after being burned in the explosion of
the Capper building explained the ma
ture of the injuries. Luengene himself
told on the stand of his position be
fore the accident and that he had been
blown off his feet, and his clothing and
hair set on fire. DR.. HenSley said his
burns had been severe and extended
over his head and arms and parts of
his body
Former city employees told of the
laying of the water and gas mains and
connections made along Seventh street.
1t will remain for the defense to show
by photographs and section of broken
gas pipe where the water main crossed
the gas main, and, they allege, broke
the gas carrier, allowing it to percolate
into the telephone conduits through
which 1t flowed into the opening in the
basement of the Capper building.

Beautiful Hair Comes
With Dry Shampooing
(From Woman,s National JournaI.)

(From Woman's National Journal.)
Dry shampooing always has been
and always will be popular with the
woman who takes pride in long,
abundant and glossy hair. The dry
shampoo does away with so much of
the inconvenience and bother accom-
panying washing the hair-eliminate
the long drying hours and abolishes
the danger of catching cold-indeed
is so all-around satisfactory, that one
wonders why soap and water, eggs, etc,
can find any followers whatever.
Dry shampoos certainly stimulate
the growth of hair. There can be no
doubt as to that. Just mix four ounces
of powdered orris root with four
ounces of therox, sprinkle a table
spoonful of this mixture upon the
head, brush the powder well through
the hair; do this two or three times
a week for while and see the results
for yourself. This will keep your hair
light and fluffy, and beautifully lus-
trous. 1t corrects the conditions of the
scalp that causes hair to become
streaked, dull, colorless, coarse and
brittle.

ADJUSTMENTS.
..Under Southern Skies" Tonight.


The appearance of Lottie Blair Park
er's delightful play, Under Southern
Skies,' is an event that should be look
ed forward to with interest by our
theatergoers.
The company is a large one, number
ing twenty-three people. The scenery
is beautiful, everything used in the
representation, being carried by the
representation being carried by the
pretty, the gowns being of airy summer
stuffs, made in the fashion of 1875,
which is the period of the play. A Hal
loween celebration during which a
pumpkin dance is introduced, is one
of the lively features of the perform
ance, and never fails to delight an
audience. Beautiful southern melodies
are introduced throughout the play
with great effect. The story Of the play
is both strong and interesting, and is
relieved with much comedy which is
contributed by the darky servants and
by their masters and nistresses, who
are of the southern aristocracy.
Under Southern Skies is one of the
big successes of recent years and no
one who enjoys a first class play, pre-
scented in a first class manner, should
fail to see ''Under Southern Skies" at
the Grand tonight.

- UR most appreciated blessings
are seldom the ones that are
closest at hand. Just as the
country bred boy sometimes
gets an idea that he has a genius too
broad to be confined between the bound
aries Of his fathers farm. so the girl
who has grown up in the country
sometimes gets longing for glimpse
of the unknown world within the city's
walls. The imaginative girl often feels
that her talents will be more appre-
ciated in the city than in the little
