New Senators Laugh at Silence Rule

ALL the new members of the senate
"A seem to have Tit talkin'." as the
southern mountaineers say of a gar
rulous stranger with a ready flow of
conversation In other days it was
considered the proper thing for a new
senator to sit in silence through his
first term of six years
1t is only a few years since a lot
of precedent-bound senatorial digni-
taries expressed their indignation at
the intrusion of new members by
walking out of the senate chamber
when Beverage began to talk a few
days after taking his seat The same
treatment was given La Toilette, who
remarked as the coat tails of his
colleagues vanished through the door
that they would come back and lis
ten, and that he probably would be

been retired.

when a heavy rain came on, and he
accepted an invitation to pass the

townsmen- Observing the preachers

out of which the minister was to be
invited to read a chapter before the
family went to bed.
She was not, however, in a very
amiable frame of mind, for careful
housewives are likely to be put out of
sorts by the advent of unexpected
company. Seeing the revivalist In his

for her husband, and as he passed In

According to an Atchison man who
claims to have access to the facts,
more than 100000 of assessable prop
erty was covered up by tax dodgers
in that county last year. That coun-
ty assessor, Robert Forbriger, has
discovered many instances where
citizens made false returns is shown
by the number of large late returns
which have been made after an in
vestigation had been instituted by the
assessor. A rich Atchison man ac-

and raised his assessment $4,000.
County Attorney Moxcey has come to
the assistance of the county assessor

been issued, and unless their tax re-
turns are corrected and given ia full

Jail Delivery Frustrated.

A wholesale Jail delivery was frus-
trated at Winfield by Sheriff Bran
son and his deputies when they
searched the prisoners and quarters
in the county Jail and found several
instruments for cutting out. Two
of the steel bars in the window in the
main cell had been sawed about half
through and the gashes filed with
soap. The saws. files and punches,
which were found secreted in the
main cell, or bull pen,' had been
passed into the cell through a small
slit in the window screen by outside
confederates. Sixteen prisoners are
involved in the attempt. The county
attorney said warrants will be fled
in the district court charging each of
them with a felony for having at
tempted to break jail.
