MOTIONlESS SOLDIERS.
Strict Observance of Military Disci-
 pline by Court Guards.

A Russian gentleman who not Ions ago visited America had many inter esting things to tell his American | friends of his experiences while a sol dier in the Imperial Guard. a corp. composed entirely of nobles, and o1 ! the trying hardships. not of warfare which his service entailed
 The czar was so constantly guarded and there were SO many court cere- monies and military or official occa sions when it was necessary to re- main in rigidly correct position, some times for hours at a time and OfteI with the mercury below zero, clad in a uniform gorgeous but overnight ana of an insufficient number of thick nesses. that it was often a question whether a man could maintain his post to the end without fainting oI freezing.
 Russian soldiers have since the days of Peter the Great enjoyed a reputa tion for military stolidity, if not pre- cision, eXcelled -only by the Germans Yet a recent gatherer of curious his torical anecdotes gives an instance of the admirable immobility of a soldier of the more excitable French. Nor was he one of the famous old Guard of the great Napoleon. but instead a mere palace guard of Napoleon the Little" in the heyday of the ephemer- al brilliance of the Second Empire
 He was posted on guard in a corri dor of the court. where he stood so perfectly still that the prince imperial then a child, was seized with an imp ish desire to stir him to human be- havior. and in the hope of doing so poured the contents of a bag of sugar plums suddenly into his boot. The man never moved nor so much as lowered his eyes.
 When the next day the story was told the empress she laid a wager with Col Verly, to whose regiment the stolid hero belonged, that she would succeed where her son had failed The colonel escorted her to the cor ridor, where she walked up to the man and endeavored by every means except of course direct address. to which it would have been his duty to respond. to attract his attention. It was quite in vain. He remained un- regarding, respectfully rigid and as if turned to stone. Moreover she ob- served Col Verly smiling at her dis comfiture It was too much. With characteristic impetuosity, she step ped close to the sentinel and boxed his ears. Not a muscle moved.
 The colonel had won his wager. The empress afterward sent the man a handsome compensation for the cuff he had received, but he refused to ac- cept it. declaring-and there spoke the unmistakable Frenchman after all that he had been already sufficient ly compensated by the touch of his sovereign ladys hand on his check Youths Companion.

Ostermann. former pres ident of Ostermann's Manufacturing company. was presented in evidence today in the Illinois Central car re- rair fraud case in municipal court.

Ewing.
 The defense fought the admission of each page Dolph testified that Hartman was paid monthly the sum of s2500 and that the late Ira G. Rawn was given a flat payment Of $20 car for each one received.

None of these items were per mitted in the court record.

Record Broken?

Has this paper broken the
record for Kansas? The News
has a subscriberIwhos. isIpaid up
for SO years, and another who
is paid up to 1886. We believe
the News holds the record for
Kansas. -
Down at Seneca, Mo-, several
years ago there was cloudburst,
and among the damage done was
the complete obliteration of the
plant of the Seneca Dispatch.
The editor was a poor man, and
of course he had a very bad case
of the blues. The food had
wiped him out of business. He
was moping down the street the
next morning when he met Jim
McGannon, the big hearted mer.
chant of Seneca. Approaching
the editor, McGannon handed him
a hundred dollar bill, saying:
Send me the Dispatch for one
hundred years." Others hearing
of the matter went to the editor
and paid a long way in advance,
and the result was that the Dis
patch was put on its feet, and is
running today, one of the best
country weeklies in the country.
But if there is any newspaper
in Kansas that can beat the News
record of having a subscriber
paid ninety-nine years in advance
we would like to hear of it.

Parole Revoked.

Last Saturday Judge Bulger
revoked the parole of r. ]. Bland,
who was convicted some time ago
of violating the prohibitory law.
Bland served a sentence in the
county jail, but there was a SEN
tence hanging over him, and he
was paroled. For the last couple
of weeks, however, Bland has
been acting up, and as soon as
the county attorney heard of it
he asked the Judge to revoke the
parole, and this was done last
Saturday evening. Deputy Sher-
if Hatton came down and took
Bland to Columbus Sunday.
Bland is a peculiar man. When
he is at himself he is a fine con-
versationalist. He is a very char
liable sort of man, and one of
his favorite pastimes is to sit on
the street and give nickels to the
children as they come along.
Only last week he heard some of
the little boys had organized a
foot ball team, so he bought
them a S. foot ball. Many a
child has gone to a show or en-
tertainment through his liberalio
ty and many a poor family has
received food and never knew
where it came from, for he never
paraded his good qualities.
But he persists in doing things
the law does not>countenance,
and as a result he is in trouble.

1t Proves Out.

1t has proven out, just as we
thought it would. We mean by
that that the appointment of Jim
Dunbar as assistant attorney gen.
eral for Cherokee county was en-
tirely unnecessary. There were
no open joints in Cherokee coun.
ty at the time the appointment
was made, but Immediately after
the appointment was made there
were several. Immediately after
going into Office, Mr.. Majors,
county attorney, made a general
and complete cleaning up of the
jointists, and had everything in
good condition, but some of his
political enemies thought it
would be a good idea to embar.
rasS him, so they got busy and
had an assistant attorney gener-
al appointed. Of course there
was nothing for the assistant to
do until a few joints opened up,
and it was not long until they
began to open around the differ.
eut coal camps, among the for
eigners!S Mr.. Majors had closed
everything up, mind you.
Since Judge Bulger has made
up his mind that the business of
the county attorneys Office shall
be conducted through that Office,
and has given Mr.. Marshall, first
assistant attorney general, to uu-
derstand this, Mr.. Majors no
longer has his hands tied, and as
a result the county is again free
from prohibitory law violators,
except, of course, the bootleg.
gers, which we all know is hard
to handle, as he has mo regular
place of business, and is hard to
catch. But even the bootiegger
is hard to find now.
The appointment of Mr.. Dun.
bar was unnecessary, and recent
events have proved it very COM
pletely.
