Laws in Harmony.
Mr. Wilson declared that the Kenyon
law and the previous statutes and the
common law are auxiliary and not op-
posed 10 each other The only question
involved, he said, was whether Congress
intended by Implication to repeal pre-
vlous laws. He then quoted several au-
thorities which held that it was not
enough that two laws be different in or
der for the latter to repeal the former
hy implication, unless they were ire
concilable
Lawyers for the defense argued that

twice for the same offense. Mr.. Wilson
declared that at the time the Kenyon
Till became effective 1t was possible to
proceed in three different ways for the
abolition OF a disorderly house-namely.

lSes and in the court of equity for abate-
nent Of the nuisance These methods

Senator Mcmillan.

Senator Meek, of Nemaha county,
will be able to attend the opening ses-
sion of the state legislature, according
to a statement today by Senator Harry
Mcmillan. chairman Of the Democratic
senatorial caucus. Senator Meek, who
has been seriously sick for several
weeks. is now greatly. improved and it
is believed that he will be in attendance
at the coming session of the legislature.
The serious sickness of the Nemaha
county member was a matter OF grave
concern to Democratic leaders of the
senate. With a clear majority Of one,
the upper house Bourbons feared that
the absence of Senator Meek might
seriously endanger their control of the
senate during the session.
LAS chairman of the Democratic SEN
atorial caucus. I received a letter from
Senator Meek only two days ago in
which he stated that he was greatly
improved and expected at that time to
be able to attend the opening session. -

Element unless shown that the alleged
deficiencies were due to errors of the
cOunty's officers by reason OF which
county funds were benefited. In other
words, this latter class of counties as

responsible for any deficiencies unless
such amounts be traceable directly to
county funds. The theory upon which
settlements were sought from the coun-

In the cases of several counties,
officials have died, records in county
court houses are destroyed and in
some instances shortages occurred in
the accounts of former officials and
the state failed to collect the money
due from sale of school lands. The
state accountant found 6,83O.76 due
from Is counties. Settlements have
been made with five of these counties.
Edwards county paid $646.16, Geary
Jewell $1,244.18, and Wabaunsee ST.

Vienna Admits That Along Drina They
Never Retreated.

fetal statement issued today. This is
territory along Southeastern Bosnia.
The situation in the Carpathians is
unchanged" the statement asserted.
Our forces were forced to withdraw a
little before the Russian attacks be-
tween Zrynanow and the Tuchow, in
the Galician Carpathians. The enemy's
attacks on the lower Donajec and lower
Nida failed. Battles in the neighbor-
hood OF Tomazow continued.
Balkan territory belonging to the
dual monarchy. with the exception of
altogether unimportant frontier re-
gion of Bosnia, Herzegovina and
southern Dalmatia, Is clear of the
enemy.
"a narrow strip Of land called Stir
zabudna has been occupied by the
Montenegrins since the beginning Of
the war. Their attacks on Dachedi-
kataro failed completely. AS the
bombardment by the French fleet on
the coast fortress also failed, the ma
val harbor is. therefore, securely in
our hands.
There are some Montenegrins in
Herzegovina territory and there are
some Servian forces on the eastern
line of the Drina from Focha to WISE
grad that have not retreated even
during our offensive"
