3a&. 8 DARED NOT READ IT WAR BULLETIX SUPPRESSED AT KAXSAS DEMOCRATIC "FEED." IT DID NOT FIT THE SPEECHES IOTP PROBLEM OP GETTING RICH OS $3,000 A YEAR IS SOLVED. Solution Xot Made Public, but Result Ik In Evidence Leluiid and Wag- - KfiiT Vot PlnliiK In Each Other' Unck lard Any More. TOPEKA. April 1. (Special.) The Repub- licans of Kansas will not ask for a better thins next year than for the fusionlsts to conduct Hi campaign on the issues mapped out by Colonel Bryan and other Demo- cratic leaders at the Jcftersonlan banquet, held In the state house Thursday night. The Democratic orators spent the entire evening denouncing the war policy of the administration. Not a good word for it was bald by anyone. Strange as It may seem, the names of Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Lee, Sbafter and Otis were not mentioned once during the evening. Not a single refer- ence was made to the splendid victories of our army and navy. An Associated Press bulletin was received during the progress of the "feed" announcing a big victory of the United States troops over the Filipinos and telling of the gallant conduct of the Twentieth Kansas. It was handed to Toastmaster Johnson to be read. Johnson showed it to Bryan and, after a brleT con- sultation, it was smothered. They were afraid to turn the information loose on the crowd for fear that It would offset in an In- stant the effect of all their talks against the army and the administration's policy. The Democratic banquet will go down in history as the only Important political gathering held since the naval battle at Manila bay during which the name of Dewey was not mentioned. Once upon a time the "downtrodden" farmers of Kansas became dissatisfied with the existing order of things and picked up a horse trader and made him governor . of the state. He was nominated and elect- - . ed because he represented the very essence of calamity and despair. He .was poor and In debt. The octopus had ground him un- der its heeL The coupon clipper had reached out and raked in his weedy farm. He had made a failure of farming and of everything else. For these reasons, "the mortgage ridden fanners thought he would make a good governor a governor in sym- pathy with the poor. During the campaign for election he was "staked" by his friends. He was elected. "When he went into office he had several hundred dollars less than nothing. He had no income from any outside business. He was stamping due bills "not paid for want of funds." The salary of governor Is $3,000 a year. During ""Hs'ferm 6t office his family lived in fine style in a university town. He. himself, put up at a J2 a day hotel In Topeka. He had no railway passes, and paid his way everywhere he went (that Is, he said he did). He was on the move a good deal. He took his family on a trip to Ohio and New York. He met the usual drafts that ire made against the governor for charity and political holdups. He passed through the second campaign, spending his own money for expenses, including car fare. He donated a liberal amount to the state cam- paign fund. He was defeated. After do- ing this on $5,000 or two years' Salary he still has money to burn. He Is buying up newspaper properties. Is making large In- vestments in minlrg lands near Galena, is figuring on forming some kind of a syn- dicate to operate In Cuba, and Is still living In luxury. It is on the programmcfor him to make a b'g strike with his mine or sell It In a few months and become Immensely wealthy all of a sudden. McNall will be out McNalled. Associate Justice W. R. Smith Is always getting off good stories on some of his friends, and. he generally takes a story told on himself good naturedly, but one was sprung on him here the other day that he did not seem to appreciate. He Is a resi- dent of Kansas City. Kaa At the recent Republican primary another lawyer by the name of J. A. Smith was running for city was dereajed. The two Smiths are not the most ardent friends.

TOPEKA, April 1. (Special.) The Kan- sas supreme court, at its sitting next week, Rill be called upon for the first time to rule upon the question as to whether a member of the bar may insult a trial judge in an appeal brief. The question will come up In the case of the state against W. G. Pace, convicted of bastardy in the Pawnee county district court. In the brief filed In the supreme court In the appeal, Page's attorney. G. Polk Cllne, of Larned, used some language which Attorney General Go- dard claims is a gross insult to the trial court In order to settle the question as to whether a lawyer can deliberately insult the trial judge in a brief, Mr. Godard to- day filed a motion to have the brief strick- en from the records. Cllne will probably come in to defend his position, and a lively time is expected. Judge J. E. Andrews is the judge Insulted. That portion of the brief which the attor- ney general declares Is offensive starts out: "In the language of A. L. Williams. 'In order that this document will not be lo.--t sight of to posterity, I copy the same in full and make It a part of this brief.' " Cllne then gives in full one of the instruc- tions to the jury to which he objects, and adds: "This Instruction is on a level with the instructions in a large number of oases tried in the Twenty-thir- d judicial district when the Hon. V. H. Grlnslead was wear- ing the judicial ermine. The court will take judicial notice", of the fact that the V. H. Grinstead referred to above and the V. H. Grinstead who prosecuted this case are idem sonans. Now. were it not for the high and lofty opinion I have of the abil- ity, integrity, discriminating powers and fairness of the county attorney (Grinstead) l would say that the Instructions com- plained of. taken in connection with other things plainly to be read between the lines In this case, clearly demonstrate the fact that he Is not capable of instructing wit- ness. Judge or jury. Like Ananias, he is short on conscience, and, like necessity, he knows no law. Like Richard, he 'seems a saint when most he plays the devil.' Now Kentucky whisky. It Is said, improves with nee. but this is not true of any old thing that comes from Kentucky. Were it not for the fact that the Hon. J. E. Andrews Is the peer of such men as Sir "William Blackstone. Lord Bacon, Coke. Chief Jus- tice Marshall and other eminent jurists, I would say to him. In the language of the Holy "Writ: 'If the blind lead the blind, they will all get- - It in the neck." But as there Is nothlnKin this bill of exceptions to show who is the father of this legiti- mate child, and as the records import ab- solute varlty. you will have to presume that Judge Andrews Is the guilty party." In his motion to strike the brief from the record, the attorney general calls the court's attention to the offensive language and the insult offered the judge who orig- inally tried the case. Mr. Godard argues that the court-woul- d not only be justified in throwing out the brief, but would be warranted In disbarring Cline from prac- ticing law In the state. This question has never before been be- fore the supreme court. The court of ap- peals In the Southern department passed upon It last year. An attorney had offered an Insult to one of the district judges In a brief filed In the appellate court. That tribunal struck the brief from the record and warned the offending party that, were It not for the circumstances his family were In, It would disbar him from practice. NEW OIL INSPECTION LAW. Inspector Spencer "Will Put the Xew System Into Operation To- morrow. TOPEKA. April L (Special.) State Oil Inspector Spencer will begin operations Monday under the new law regulating the Inspection of oil and gasoline. For the first few days only three of the deputies at large will work, on account of the short- age of instruments necessary to Inspect oil and gasoline. A supply has been or- dered from New York. Under the new law, oil companies must pay an inspec- tion fee on gasoline as well as on oil. leretofore only oil has been Inspected. In order to facilitate matters the new law provides for a local inspector at each dis- tributing point. This will make places fcr about seventy men. They will make from $3 to $50 each In fees a month. They can do this work and at the tame time hold other positions. Inspector Spencer has divided up the state by districts for the inspectors at large. He will be at the head of the de partment, and his deputies at large will supervise tne work of the local inspec- tors of their respective districts. The state Inspector will also have charge of the First district personally. The state Is divided as follows: First district, under the supervision of State Oil Inspector Spencer Fort Scott, Mound City, Paola, Olathe, Lawrence, To- peka, "Wamego, Manhattan. Junction City, Abilene. Sallna. Minneapolis, Iola, Pitts- burg, Eureka, Howard, Eldorado, Armour-dal- e. Second district, under supervision of L. C. Weldy Galena. Chetopa, Coffeyvllle.

Leavenworth Senator Telia "Why It Is Important That Repnb- -' llcans Win. LEAVENWORTH. ICAS., April 1. (Spe- cial.) In talking with Senator Baker to- day he said: "Kansas Is thoroughly Republican. The election of the Republican ticket last fall did much to restore confidence. Our stand- ing y Is excelent, our prosperity known and favorably commented upon by all. We must hold what we have gained. While the municipal elections are local, yet they are of much Importance in demon- strating that the state will take no back- ward step politically. "The sooner we establish the fact that the state is thoroughly In harmony with the national administration the better t wll be for us. Republican victories in our municipal elections will do much toward permanently establishing our credit and en- hancing our prosperity." STATE'S MONEY COUNTED. Kext Time Treasurer Grimes 3Iunt Produce All That Has Been on Deposit In Bank. TOPEKA. April 1. (Special.) The gov- ernor, secretary of state and state auditor to-d- finished counting the money In the state treasury, as they are required to do every quarter. They found the accounts absolutely correct. A question arose as to how the money which the treasurer had on deposit in the banks should be counted. It was finally agreed to accept the bank's books as correct. However, the officials notified Treasurer Grimes that, when they made the next examination, they would expect him to have all the money in the treasury, so they could count it there. Statistics of Kansas Doctor. TOPEKA. April 1. (Special.) Secretary Gill, of the state board of health, y Issued a circular giving the number and kinds of physicians in the state. Accord- ing to it. there are 1,467 allopaths, 191 homeopaths. 261 eclectics and Si miscella- neous. Forestry Commission Named. TOPEKA. April 1. (Special.)

GRAND JURY TO RESUME WORK BEGINS PROBING INTO BOODLING CHARGES AGAIN Sensation Promised When Oklahoma Cltynns Who Have Been Sum- moned Take the Stand Many Politician Are on the Anxious Seat. GUTHRIE. O. T., April L (Special.) Rep- resentative Wails, under Indictment for bribery, appeared before Judge Burford, of the Logan county district court, y, and pleaded not guilty. His case went over for hearing at the next term of court. Mr. Wail has proved to be a most loqua- cious individual, and the fact that he has confessed to newspaper men that he did oflr money to Councilor Frank Hutto is not likely to prove a point In his favor. Wails came to Guthrie yesterday and stat- ed that he desired an immediate hearing, but as he made no such demand y. It is apparent that he has been prevailed upon to listen to the advice of his attor neys. When he was arrested, the repre- sentative, true to his Populistic principles, boasted that he would have none of law yers, but soon saw the error of his ways. He is now prepared to accept legal ad- vice. After a recess of two weeks the Logan county grand jury will resume operations next Monday, and politicians hereabouts are feeling uneasy again. It is expected that there will be no dearth of sensational developments, and It Is hinted that people In high places may be treated to some dis- agreeable surprises. The testimony most greatly feared and which will probably be productive of the most interesting features will be that of live prominent Oklahoma City citizens, who have been summoned to tell what they know about the expenditure of $1,330, which the city council entrusted to their keeping. They formed a lobby sent here ostensibly to kill the public buildings bill, but their statement of expenditures was not satis- factory to men who raised the purse. Some of these witnesses have boasted that they will give testimony incriminating well known Gutlirieltes and this is expected to partake of the nature of a well developed sensation. Auditor S. N. Hopkins has been summon- ed to produce the vouchers and war rec- ords of former Quartermaster General Phil C. Rosenbaum, who is charged with hav- ing padded his accounts. Rosenbaum is now considered a back number, politically, as he was several months ago relieved of his straps by Governor Barnes. A CITY IN THREE MONTHS. Thriving: Oklahoma Municipality Now "Where a Corn Field Was In December. GUTHRIE, O. T.. April 1. (Special.) Governor Barnes to-d- received an appli- cation from the town of Weatherford, in Custer county, to be declared a city of the first class. He will Issue a proclamation in a few days. All records at city building have been broken in Oklahoma, but not since the year of the opening have towns risen to positions of importance and prom- inence with the speed with which Weather-for- d has grown. That part of Custer coun- ty, now occupied by the town, was a corn field last December when the Choctaw Railroad Company announced that it pro- posed to build an extension westward into the county. Settlers from other points were early on the spot and drove stakes and set off lots at the proposed terminus of the railroad. To-da- y, less than three months from the founding, Weatherford is a live town of 2,620 souls, equal In a business way to any other Oklahoma town of equal popu- lation. Brick buildings are being reared, sidewalks have been laid and a flro de- partment has been established. It has a ineaier, two Danks and several factories, and now It proposes to be called a city of the first class, for It has 120 more inhabi- tants than are necessary to attain this end. Corn still grows on some of the side-stree- but this will be cut down when the city government has had time to resolve itself into working order. Weatherford is a fait town in a double sense. Variety theater "artists" and "prima donnas" will tell the strangei that It Is the best theater town In the territory, which is saying a good deal, for the Okla- homa "woman actor" always draws well, either in Guthrio or nilnhnm, -- ... Weatherford has two "Honk-a-tonks- ." the name by which the Oklahoma "free-and-eas- playhouse is officially known, and .standing room only" signs, hoisted wher- ever "Black Diamonds." "The Dai tern Boys." is billed for rendition, testify to the love Weatherfordians have for high class "wild and woolly" drama. Weatherford. three months' time, appears to have about as well as the best of them, and Gov! theTask."163 " e'V6 thm the "tactton OKLAHOMACATTLE. Losses, It Is Declared, Will Be Less Than lO Per Cent on Ranges. COUNCIL GROVE. KAS., April Frank Lower, one of the leading cattlemen of Central Kansas, has just re- turned from a trip through Western Ok- lahoma and the Panhandle country, visit- ing many ranches'. He says: "The" cattlemen agree that the winter has been the worst since, the plains were settled, but stockmen are so much better equipped for handling their stock than formerly that their losses will be com- paratively light. While in some localities it has been large in others where shelter and feed were abundant it has been almost nothing. The average is probably less than 10 per cent. The cattlemen there count on 2 to 3 per cent for an average winter, and of course feel the losses severely. The storm of Monday was severe in Oklahoma and Texas, and was hard on range cat- tle." The Josses in this vicinity among the feeders have been less than was expected. One feeder, with many Southern cattle, has lost heavily, but In general the losses have been very small. Farmers have plenty of feed to last until grass, and stock will go on pasture in good shape. ANOTHER WARRANT UNPAID. Deputy Auditor McCabe Tarns Down a Claim Because of the Clarke Bill. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 1. (Special.) Sidney Clarke's warrant bill was respon- sible for the turning down of another ap- plication for territorial money y, the role of watchdog of the treasury being this time assumed by Deputy Auditor E. P. Mc- Cabe. In the absence of Auditor Hopkins, Mr. McCabe received a cUim of $1,500 for support of the territory's blind during the first quarter and he promptly refused pay- ment. "I don't know whether the Clarke bill became a law or not." said McCabe, "but I don't propose to risk my head by taking any chances." The territory his no blind asylum but as- sumes expenses Incurred in the care of its blind. JONES' DEMURRER ALLOWED. Jada-- e Strans; Scored Against In RIs Fight for Office at Guthrie. GUTHRIE, O. , T., April 1. (Special.) In the case of Strang against Jones. Judge Burford to-d- granted the demurrer of Edgar W. Jones, the Logan county prose- cutor, who is the defendant. On the face of the returns as convassed after the last county election, Edgar W. Jonas was elect- ed county attorney over the then incum- bent, Judge J. C, Strang, by a majority of 93. Strang set up general .charges of fraud and petitioned the court to oust Jones. Jones filled a demurrer, which was accept- ed y. Judge Strang was given thirty days in which to prepare his case for the supreme court. OBJECT T0ALL0TMENT. Delegation of Comanche, Kiowa and Apaches Appear Before Sec- retary of Interior Hitchcock. WASHINGTON, April 1. A delegation of thirteen Comanche, Kiowa and Apache In- dians appeared before Secretary Hitchcock, of the Interior department, to-d- In re- gard to the allotment of lands in their res- ervation in the southwestern part of the Indian Territory. Headman Saddle Blanket explained that the tribes Interested did not desire to have an allotment made at this time, as they were not prepared for such a change, but thought the next gen- eration would probably be educated up to looking after the individual Interest-,- . There is a proposition before congress providing for the allotment. HE KILLEDAN EDITOR. Trial of Clarence Dona-las- at Pur-cel- l, I. T., Is Attracting Wide- spread Attention. PURCELL, I. T., April L (Special.) The United States court here Is now trying Clarence Douglass for the murder of Edi- tor Williams, which occurred at Ardmore something over a year ago. It is attract- ing widespread attention because of the prominence of both parties. Douglass is a prominent attorney and Williams was the editor of an Ardmore paper. The cause of the tragedy was a newspaper article. Both men were Pythians. Douglass' plea Is e. The case will go to the jury Oklahoma Finances. GUTHRIE, O. T., April 1. (Special.) The quarterly statement of the territorial treas- urer was made to the auditor y. It shows receipts aggregating JU8.636.70 since December 1, the sums being collected from the general revenue and the various school funds. Since January 1 there has been paid in government funds on the secretary of state's order the sum of $19,690.27. This included the per diem and mileage of mem- bers and employes of the legislature, and the cost of a part of the legislative fur- nishings. Fight on Grimes Begun. GUTHRIE, O. T.. April -(- Special.) Republicans who are unfriendly to William Grimes, chairman of the territorial central committee, commenced a fight on him In some of the weekly papers this week. As yet, no opposition candidate has appeared, Oklahoma Notes. Oklahoma Is a great country for slot ma- chines. There are six In one Guthrie hotel. The house of representatives of the Fifth assembly held its sessions in a grocery storeroom. The registration books are closed, nnd Oklahoma papers are "leading " all thelr stuff to fill space. The Territorial Federation of Women's Clubs will hold its annual convention at Norman, May 6. According to the Cordell Messenger, dug- outs are giving way to frame dwelling houses in Washita county. Deputy State Auditor E. P. McCabe ia taking an active part in the Republican municipal campaign at Guthrie. The man who has the contract for carry- ing the mail between Cloud Chief and Weatherford receives $444 a year. The candidate of the Republicans of Guthrie for city clerk Is a colored man named Capers, and he Isn't a cutter either. Frank Greer and W. H. Coyle, the Dem- ocratic candidate for mayor, once tried to run a territorial fair at Guthrie. They lost. Tommy Wyant, a precocious youtl of Ardmore. I. T mistook castor beans for bull nettle and lunched on them the other day. Medical science came to his rescue and he lived to tell the story. Charles Laux, the Democratic candidate for city clerk of Guthrie, was formerly first lieutenant of the First regiment. Okla- homa national guards, and his candidacy has been indorsed by the company. There were two towns in Woods county that wanted to be named Dewey, and the one that put In ,lts application first was successful. The postofflce department de- cide to call the 'Qther one Yewed. This was rather a back-hande- d compliment. The Evening Leader, of Guthrie, fell down terribly In its telegraphic service Thurs- day night. It printed a dispatch from Topeka telling about the entry of Jennings Bryan Into the city, but didn't say a word about the reception which must have been accorded Sidney Clarke when he broke into town. The second annual tournament of the Ok- lahoma and Kansas Sportsmen's Associa- tion will oe held at El Reno, April 2. Competition for the Oklahoma champion- ship gold medal, now held by F. M. John- son, will be a feature of the first day's pro- gramme. Twenty-tw- o events will be shot off during the tournament. The twelve good men and true who voted to convlet Boggs, of Shaw- nee, of Interfering with the mails, will feel very small now that the apocalyptic angel and the local paper have arrayed themselves against them. The Shawnee News speakB in this wise of Boggs and his defenders: "The holy joys are his of know- ing that the apocolyptic angel flying In the midst of heaven joins hands with us in proclaiming his Innocence." MISSOURI CROP REPORT. Average Condition of Wheat Estima- ted at CO Fruit Very Seriously Damaged. COLUMBIA, MO., April 1. (Special.) The Missouri state board of agriculture Issued y, through its secretary. Colonel 3. R. RIppey, its monthly crop and stock re- port for March. The report is as follows: Wheat Condition estimated at 66 per cent of average. Estimated that 19 per cent will be planted to other crops. Some fields are completely killed, while others where there was snow protection are in fair condition. Late sown fields are generally conceded to be worthless. Many farmers are of the opinion that the present plant is so ser- iously Injured that it will not make the usual vigorous growth upon the appearance of favorable weather. Higher temperature, however, may materially change estimates by the 1st of May. Sixteen per cent of last year's crop Is still In the hands of the producer, held largely for home consump- tion. Corn Estimated that 23 per cent of last year's crop Is In the hands of the pro- ducer. This will be used largely for feed and seed. Clover Badly frosted out of the ground and some fields are said to be dead, but generally in fair condition, considering the unfavorable winter. The condition of the state is 71 per cent, against 76 last season. Oats Estimated at 83 per cent of last season's acreage, but cannot be accurately obtained. Apples Sixty-nin- e per cent of buds said to be alive, against S9 per cent last sea- son. With future conditions favorable, how- ever, and with perfect fertilization of the live buds there may yet be an abundant crop. Peaches and small fruit Only 3 per cent of peach buds said to be alive, against 8 per cent last month, and 77 per cent for April, 1898. Small fruit of last season placed at 88; y. 58. Strawberries, last season, 81: 60. Horses In good condition; unusually free from disease; 44 per cent of mares will drop foals, against 41 per cent for 1898. Cattle In good condition; shortage of numbers being fed in some localities and late feeders of' large bunches have had great difficulty In getting feed to their lots. These and other unfavorable condi- tions have rendered results not so success- ful as usual. Hogs In fair condition; 9 per cent,of dis- ease reported, against 10 per cent last sea- son. Pigs, estimated at 81 per cent of last year's crop. A large number of pigs and lambs and a few foals and calves that were dropped In February and March were frozen. Sheep and poultry In good condition. "Wants f30,OOO for Her Husband. SOUTH; M'ALESTER. I. T.. April 1. (Special.)

A large number of tents have been erected there for the safe- keeping of the remains until arrangements have been perfected for their Interment. There are about 350 of these bodies to bo buried at Arlington. The funeral train, aft- er discharging at Rosslyn, will return to New Tork and receive the remainder of the bodies. It is expected hat the ship- ment will be completed by Tuesday after- noon. In case arrangements can be perfected by that time, the funeral ceremony of tho en- tire number will be held at the cemetery next Wednesday. There Is an Impression at the department, however, that the ar- rangements can not be concluded In time to permit of the funeral before Thursday. Full military honors will be paid to the memory of the patriots who lost their Uvea In the West Indies. Orders have been is- sued for the participation of Troop H, of the Third cavalry, at Fort Myer, and three batteries ot artillery from Washington bar- racks, together with the band of the Fourth artillery. The military escort will be in command of Colonel Frank L. Guenther, of the Fourth artillery, and includes all the available regular troops In the vicinity. The president has under consideration a proposition for the participation of the Dis- trict National guard In the funeral cere- monies next week, and it la probable that It will be ordered out for duty on that occasion. In special recognition of the oc- casion, and in order to permit tho govern- ment employes to assist in doing honor to the memory of the soldiers who lost their lives for their country, all the govern- ment departments will be closed at noon on the day set apart for the funeral Jfew Position of Santa Fe.

The mean temperature was nearly seven degrees be- low the March average, only two Marches on our thirty-tw- o years' record having had a lower mean. There were fourteen win- ters days, with a mean temperature be- low the freezing point. This Is twice the average number and more than for any preceding March. Only two March days in the past thirty-tw- o years have been colder than the 6th, with a mean temperature ot nine degrees. The mean temperature or the second half of the month was several degrees below that of the Hrst half. "The total depth of snow for the month was nine and a half inches, which ls six inches above the average, and, with one exception, the greatest for March on rec ord.

TOPEKA. April 1. (Special.) The Repub-licans of Kansas will not ask for a betterthins next year than for the fusionlsts toconduct Hi campaign on the issues mappedout by Colonel Bryan and other Demo-cratic leaders at the Jcftersonlan banquet,held In the state house Thursday night.The Democratic orators spent the entireevening denouncing the war policy of theadministration. Not a good word for it wasbald by anyone. Strange as It may seem,the names of Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Lee,Sbafter and Otis were not mentioned onceduring the evening. Not a single refer-ence was made to the splendid victories ofour army and navy. An Associated Pressbulletin was received during the progressof the "feed" announcing a big victory ofthe United States troops over the Filipinosand telling of the gallant conduct of theTwentieth Kansas. It was handed toToastmaster Johnson to be read. Johnsonshowed it to Bryan and, after a brleT con-

sultation, it was smothered. They wereafraid to turn the information loose on thecrowd for fear that It would offset in an In-

stant the effect of all their talks againstthe army and the administration's policy.

The Democratic banquet will go down inhistory as the only Important politicalgathering held since the naval battle atManila bay during which the name ofDewey was not mentioned.

Once upon a time the "downtrodden"farmers of Kansas became dissatisfiedwith the existing order of things and pickedup a horse trader and made him governor

. of the state. He was nominated and elect- -. ed because he represented the very essence

of calamity and despair. He .was poor andIn debt. The octopus had ground him un-der its heeL The coupon clipper hadreached out and raked in his weedy farm.He had made a failure of farming andof everything else. For these reasons, "themortgage ridden fanners thought he wouldmake a good governor a governor in sym-pathy with the poor. During the campaignfor election he was "staked" by his friends.He was elected. "When he went into officehe had several hundred dollars less thannothing. He had no income from anyoutside business. He was stamping duebills "not paid for want of funds." Thesalary of governor Is $3,000 a year. During

""Hs'ferm 6t office his family lived in finestyle in a university town. He. himself,put up at a J2 a day hotel In Topeka.

He had no railway passes, and paid hisway everywhere he went (that Is, he saidhe did). He was on the move a good deal.He took his family on a trip to Ohio andNew York. He met the usual drafts thatire made against the governor for charityand political holdups. He passed throughthe second campaign, spending his ownmoney for expenses, including car fare. Hedonated a liberal amount to the state cam-paign fund. He was defeated. After do-ing this on $5,000 or two years' Salary hestill has money to burn. He Is buying upnewspaper properties. Is making large In-vestments in minlrg lands near Galena,is figuring on forming some kind of a syn-dicate to operate In Cuba, and Is still livingIn luxury. It is on the programmcfor himto make a b'g strike with his mine or sellIt In a few months and become Immenselywealthy all of a sudden. McNall will beout McNalled.

Associate Justice W. R.

KANSAS JUDGE INSULTED.

Attorney General Godard AsUh toHave a Lawyer' Brief Mrlckr

en From Record.TOPEKA, April 1. (Special.) The Kan-

sas supreme court, at its sitting next week,Rill be called upon for the first time torule upon the question as to whether amember of the bar may insult a trial judgein an appeal brief. The question will comeup In the case of the state against W. G.Pace, convicted of bastardy in the Pawneecounty district court. In the brief filedIn the supreme court In the appeal, Page'sattorney. G. Polk Cllne, of Larned, usedsome language which Attorney General Go-

dard claims is a gross insult to the trialcourt In order to settle the question asto whether a lawyer can deliberately insultthe trial judge in a brief, Mr. Godard to-

day filed a motion to have the brief strick-en from the records. Cllne will probablycome in to defend his position, and a livelytime is expected. Judge J. E. Andrews isthe judge Insulted.

That portion of the brief which the attor-ney general declares Is offensive starts out:

"In the language of A. L. Williams. 'Inorder that this document will not be lo.--t

sight of to posterity, I copy the same infull and make It a part of this brief.' "Cllne then gives in full one of the instruc-tions to the jury to which he objects, andadds: "This Instruction is on a level withthe instructions in a large number of oasestried in the Twenty-thir- d judicial districtwhen the Hon. V. H. Grlnslead was wear-ing the judicial ermine. The court willtake judicial notice", of the fact that theV. H. Grinstead referred to above and theV. H. Grinstead who prosecuted this caseare idem sonans. Now. were it not for thehigh and lofty opinion I have of the abil-ity, integrity, discriminating powers andfairness of the county attorney (Grinstead)l would say that the Instructions com-plained of. taken in connection with otherthings plainly to be read between the linesIn this case, clearly demonstrate the factthat he Is not capable of instructing wit-ness. Judge or jury. Like Ananias, he isshort on conscience, and, like necessity, heknows no law. Like Richard, he 'seems asaint when most he plays the devil.' NowKentucky whisky. It Is said, improves withnee. but this is not true of any old thingthat comes from Kentucky. Were it notfor the fact that the Hon. J. E. AndrewsIs the peer of such men as Sir "WilliamBlackstone. Lord Bacon, Coke. Chief Jus-tice Marshall and other eminent jurists, Iwould say to him. In the language of theHoly "Writ: 'If the blind lead the blind,they will all get- - It in the neck." But asthere Is nothlnKin this bill of exceptionsto show who is the father of this legiti-mate child, and as the records import ab-solute varlty. you will have to presumethat Judge Andrews Is the guilty party."

In his motion to strike the brief from therecord, the attorney general calls thecourt's attention to the offensive languageand the insult offered the judge who orig-inally tried the case. Mr. Godard arguesthat the court-woul- d not only be justifiedin throwing out the brief, but would bewarranted In disbarring Cline from prac-ticing law In the state.

This question has never before been be-fore the supreme court. The court of ap-peals In the Southern department passedupon It last year. An attorney had offeredan Insult to one of the district judges Ina brief filed In the appellate court. Thattribunal struck the brief from the recordand warned the offending party that, wereIt not for the circumstances his familywere In, It would disbar him from practice.

A question arose as tohow the money which the treasurer hadon deposit in the banks should be counted.It was finally agreed to accept the bank'sbooks as correct.

WAILS IN COURT

PLEADS NOT GUILTY AND BIS CASEGOES OVER A TERM.

GRAND JURY TO RESUME WORK

BEGINS PROBING INTO BOODLINGCHARGES AGAIN

Sensation Promised When OklahomaCltynns Who Have Been Sum-

moned Take the Stand ManyPolitician Are on the

Anxious Seat.

GUTHRIE. O. T., April L (Special.) Rep-

resentative Wails, under Indictment forbribery, appeared before Judge Burford, ofthe Logan county district court, y,

and pleaded not guilty. His case went overfor hearing at the next term of court.

Mr. Wail has proved to be a most loqua-cious individual, and the fact that he hasconfessed to newspaper men that he didoflr money to Councilor Frank Hutto isnot likely to prove a point In his favor.Wails came to Guthrie yesterday and stat-ed that he desired an immediate hearing,but as he made no such demand y. Itis apparent that he has been prevailedupon to listen to the advice of his attorneys. When he was arrested, the repre-sentative, true to his Populistic principles,boasted that he would have none of lawyers, but soon saw the error of his ways.He is now prepared to accept legal ad-

vice.After a recess of two weeks the Logan

county grand jury will resume operationsnext Monday, and politicians hereaboutsare feeling uneasy again. It is expectedthat there will be no dearth of sensationaldevelopments, and It Is hinted that peopleIn high places may be treated to some dis-

agreeable surprises.The testimony most greatly feared and

which will probably be productive of themost interesting features will be that oflive prominent Oklahoma City citizens, whohave been summoned to tell what theyknow about the expenditure of $1,330, whichthe city council entrusted to their keeping.They formed a lobby sent here ostensiblyto kill the public buildings bill, but theirstatement of expenditures was not satis-factory to men who raised the purse. Someof these witnesses have boasted that theywill give testimony incriminating wellknown Gutlirieltes and this is expected topartake of the nature of a well developedsensation.

Auditor S. N. Hopkins has been summon-ed to produce the vouchers and war rec-ords of former Quartermaster General PhilC. Rosenbaum, who is charged with hav-ing padded his accounts. Rosenbaum isnow considered a back number, politically,as he was several months ago relieved ofhis straps by Governor Barnes.

A CITY IN THREE MONTHS.

Thriving: Oklahoma Municipality Now"Where a Corn Field Was In

December.GUTHRIE, O. T.. April 1. (Special.)

Governor Barnes to-d- received an appli-cation from the town of Weatherford, inCuster county, to be declared a city of thefirst class. He will Issue a proclamation ina few days. All records at city buildinghave been broken in Oklahoma, but notsince the year of the opening have townsrisen to positions of importance and prom-inence with the speed with which Weather-for- d

has grown. That part of Custer coun-ty, now occupied by the town, was a cornfield last December when the ChoctawRailroad Company announced that it pro-posed to build an extension westward intothe county. Settlers from other points wereearly on the spot and drove stakes and setoff lots at the proposed terminus of therailroad. To-da- y, less than three monthsfrom the founding, Weatherford is a livetown of 2,620 souls, equal In a business wayto any other Oklahoma town of equal popu-lation. Brick buildings are being reared,sidewalks have been laid and a flro de-partment has been established. It has aineaier, two Danks and several factories,and now It proposes to be called a city ofthe first class, for It has 120 more inhabi-tants than are necessary to attain thisend. Corn still grows on some of the side-stree-

but this will be cut down when thecity government has had time to resolveitself into working order.Weatherford is a fait town in a doublesense. Variety theater "artists" and "primadonnas" will tell the strangei that It Isthe best theater town In the territory,

which is saying a good deal, for the Okla-homa "woman actor" always draws well,either in Guthrio or nilnhnm, -- ...Weatherford has two "Honk-a-tonks- ." thename by which the Oklahoma "free-and-eas-

playhouse is officially known, and.standing room only" signs, hoisted wher-ever "Black Diamonds."

OKLAHOMACATTLE.Losses, It Is Declared, Will Be Less

Than lO Per Cent onRanges.

COUNCIL GROVE. KAS., AprilFrank Lower, one of the leading

cattlemen of Central Kansas, has just re-turned from a trip through Western Ok-lahoma and the Panhandle country, visit-ing many ranches'. He says:

"The" cattlemen agree that the winterhas been the worst since, the plains weresettled, but stockmen are so much betterequipped for handling their stock thanformerly that their losses will be com-paratively light. While in some localitiesit has been large in others where shelterand feed were abundant it has been almostnothing. The average is probably less than10 per cent. The cattlemen there count on2 to 3 per cent for an average winter, andof course feel the losses severely. Thestorm of Monday was severe in Oklahomaand Texas, and was hard on range cat-tle."

The Josses in this vicinity among thefeeders have been less than was expected.One feeder, with many Southern cattle, haslost heavily, but In general the losses havebeen very small. Farmers have plenty offeed to last until grass, and stock will goon pasture in good shape.

ANOTHER WARRANT UNPAID.

Deputy Auditor McCabe Tarns Downa Claim Because of the

Clarke Bill.GUTHRIE, O. T., April 1. (Special.)

Sidney Clarke's warrant bill was respon-sible for the turning down of another ap-plication for territorial money y, therole of watchdog of the treasury being thistime assumed by Deputy Auditor E. P. Mc-Cabe. In the absence of Auditor Hopkins,Mr. McCabe received a cUim of $1,500 forsupport of the territory's blind during thefirst quarter and he promptly refused pay-ment.

"I don't know whether the Clarke billbecame a law or not." said McCabe, "but Idon't propose to risk my head by takingany chances."

The territory his no blind asylum but as-sumes expenses Incurred in the care of itsblind.

MISSOURI CROP REPORT.Average Condition of Wheat Estima-

ted at CO Fruit Very SeriouslyDamaged.

COLUMBIA, MO., April 1. (Special.) TheMissouri state board of agriculture Issued

y, through its secretary. Colonel 3.R. RIppey, its monthly crop and stock re-port for March.

The report is as follows:Wheat Condition estimated at 66 per cent

of average. Estimated that 19 per cent willbe planted to other crops. Some fields arecompletely killed, while others where therewas snow protection are in fair condition.Late sown fields are generally conceded tobe worthless. Many farmers are of theopinion that the present plant is so ser-iously Injured that it will not make theusual vigorous growth upon the appearanceof favorable weather. Higher temperature,however, may materially change estimatesby the 1st of May. Sixteen per cent of lastyear's crop Is still In the hands of theproducer, held largely for home consump-tion.

Corn Estimated that 23 per cent of lastyear's crop Is In the hands of the pro-ducer. This will be used largely for feedand seed.

Clover Badly frosted out of the groundand some fields are said to be dead, butgenerally in fair condition, considering theunfavorable winter. The condition of thestate is 71 per cent, against 76 last season.

Oats Estimated at 83 per cent of lastseason's acreage, but cannot be accuratelyobtained.

Apples Sixty-nin- e per cent of buds saidto be alive, against S9 per cent last sea-son. With future conditions favorable, how-ever, and with perfect fertilization of thelive buds there may yet be an abundantcrop.

Peaches and small fruit Only 3 per centof peach buds said to be alive, against 8per cent last month, and 77 per cent forApril, 1898. Small fruit of last season placedat 88; y. 58. Strawberries, last season,81: 60.

Cattle In good condition; shortage ofnumbers being fed in some localities andlate feeders of' large bunches have hadgreat difficulty In getting feed to theirlots. These and other unfavorable condi-tions have rendered results not so success-ful as usual.

Hogs In fair condition; 9 per cent,of dis-ease reported, against 10 per cent last sea-son. Pigs, estimated at 81 per cent of lastyear's crop. A large number of pigs andlambs and a few foals and calves that weredropped In February and March werefrozen.
