Is the Kansas City court of appeals
last week a decision was rendered in re
gard to the case of the State against the
National School of Osteopathy. The
evidence was that this school had sold
to Dr. William Smith of Kirksville a
certificate that he had completed the
full course of study in that institution.
For this certificate Doctor Smith paid
$150, and it was shown that he had
called at the school but twice. Judge
GUI decided that the violation of law
was that the certificate was issued when
there had been no personal attendance
for the time specified by the Missouri
laws; this was a legal wrong, but he
held that it was not sufficient to war
rant the forfeiture of the school's fran
chise. St Joseph News.

news that the city of Dawson has been
visited with a 300,000 fire, in which
40 buildings were burned, including the
new postoffice building and some of the
best buildings in the city. The fire took
place on the morning of Oct. 16. It
started in the Green Tree saloon as the
result of a tow between two women of
the town. Belle Mitchell threw a lighted
lamp at another woman. The lamp
broke, the oil spread and in a few sec
onds the building was on fire. The fire
started at 8:20 a. m. The fire of a year
ago was caused by this same woman,
who threw a lamp at a man with whom
she had a quarrel. A month ago she
tried to burn her own place on Third
avenue, in Dawson, by throwing a lamp
at a woman and nearly caused a con
flagration by again losing her temper
said wielding another lighted lamp. The
sews was brought out by several of the
miners who arrived in this city. The

WjJHnraTOV, Nor. 15. The Wash
ington Poat atate that the war tax will
aot be abolighed at the coming short
session of congress, that there will be
no revision of the tariff whatever. It
bases t" ansoosoement upon the posi
tive statement Bade by Chairman Ding
ley of the ways aad means committee,
who in an interview says:
"The government will seed for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Octo
ber the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by some $14,000,000, and
this month they will be 110,090,000 in
excess. This being the case, there will
be no changes at least this fiscal year.
The war revenue act will continue in
force and unchanged, except, perhaps,
in a few minor administrative features,
for at least two years.
'It is hardly necessary to add," con
tinued Mr. Dingley, "that there will be
no revision of the tariff, although I have
seen some statements to the effect that
such a revision is contemplated.
"The session is limited to three
months," he said, "and that short period
will be mainly occupied in passing the
appropriation bills, in enacting new
laws, the regular army and deciding
upon the legislation necessary for the
government of Hawaii. In addition to
these important matters, the usual num
ber of routine matters will arise.. From
the present outlook, the session will be
well under way before the treaty of
peace with Spain will be laid before the
senate and the ratification of that docu
ment may not be accomplished long be
fore the 4th of March arrives."
"Will that necessitate an extra ses
sion?" No Extra Session Neeassary.
"It is, of course, impossible," said
Mr. Dingley, "to know what will arise
between the 1st of December and the
4th of noxt March, but so far as the pre
sent outlook can form a basis for judg
ment, is to say that no extra session will
be necessary or desirable unless some
new question should rise. In the first
place, we shall not know until the treaty
of peace has been ratified what new pos
sessions we are to have and what legis
lation is necessary for them, and even
then we will be in no position to act in
telligently. I think that the military
administration ought to be continued
for at least longer. Military adminis
tration means the maintenance of order,
the establishment of sanitary regula
tions, the giving of assistance to those
who may need it. It will bring order
out of chaos and afford us time to deter
mine the wisest legislation. Time al
ways enlightens and certainly when
congress metts at its regular session in
December of next year we will be much
better equipped to consider the proper
method of dealing without new posses
sion." "For my part," added Mr. Dingley,
"I hope that the territory to be added
will be no larger than is absolutely nec
essary. I realize that in some cases it
may be easier to hold than it would be
to let go, but at the same time I hope
that the treaty, when it is presented to
the senate, will provide for the acquisi
tion of a minimum amount of terri
tory." Stewart Claims Elactloa.
Chicago, Nov. 15. United States Sen
ator Stewart of Nevada telegraphed the

two, who will undoubtedly act with the
Silver party. The Republicans have
elected 13, but two of their seats are
seriously contested. The Silver party,
in its convention, indorsed me for United
States senator and I shall undoubtedly
have two-thirds majority in the legisla
ture. It is not publicly known how the
Republicans will vote. No Silver party
man is running against me and no
straight ont Republican is seeking the
Republican vote. In 1892 1 received the

Hoxo Koko, Nov. 15. The Filipino
junta, together with representatives of
General Aguinaldo and the Filipino
government here, has drawn np what
t&y designate as aa "appeal to Presi
dent McKinley and the Ampiif peo
ple," but what is in realityrather in
the nature of an arraignment of Ameri
can actions in the Philippines. The
memorial says: "We, the Hong Kong
representatives of our countrymen, ap
peal to the great and good judgment of
President McKinley and the spirit of
faiwMwat and justness of the American
people as it is always shown in their re
sard ft the netitions of the weak aad
oppressed.
Daatra to Keaa Faacs.
While the fate of the islands is still
undecided and we are doing all in our
power to prevent a conflict between the
Americans and Filipinos awaiting pa
tiently the conclusions of the Paris con
ferencewe implore the intervention of
the president, -supported by the will of
the people, to end the slights shown our
leaders, soldiers and people by some of
the American military and naval officers,
although we do not wish to wrong Ad
miral Dewey or General Otis."
The memorial then avers that "false
reports are spread broadcast, alleging
that the Filipinos are responsible for all
the friction," and points out that "the
tension is greater every day and any
moment a shot maybe fired by an ir
responsible American or Filipino sol
dier leading to great moousnea, mu
beseeches the United States "to help
the junta to control our own people by
directing American officers to temper
their actions with friendship, justice
and fairness.''
"From the commencement of the
hostilities," continues the meaaoriaL
the Filipino acceded to all the Ameri
can requests, but after bottling up the
Spaniards at Manila, the Filipinos were
completely ignored when the Americans
advanced and thus deprived of the
fruits of victory. Now after months of
campaigning the Filipino troops have
been ordered beyond the suburbs, where
they have no quarters and where sup
plies are difficult to obtain.
Allourlauches have been seized be
cause of a foolish report that we would
attack the Americans, and when we
asked explanations we were not an
swered. The Spaniards have been
shown every consideration, while the
Filipinos, friends and allies, are often
treated as enemies."

the New Mexioo and Arizona railroad,
was attacked by some Mexicans, and in
defending himself shot one of them,
Juan Arvalla, fatally. ' This occurred
about 2,000 feet north of the interna

to his hotel, whieh is south of the line,
and was arrested by Mexican officers on
a charge of murder. The Mexican au
thorities refused to allow the prisoner
to be seen. United States Consul Dar

Hay wired the legation at Mexico to de
mand the immediate release of Temple.
As yet no word has been reesived from
the City of Mexico. Temple is in prison

The Election.
Charles Wooster was defeated for the
legislature in Merrick county.
Platte county was carried by the
fusionists by from 221 plurality for
Hollenbeck, up to 459 for Poynter, and
537 for Robinson. Moran's plurality
was 414, Tanner's 308, Dunn's 392,
O'Brien's 388, Supervisors-Goetz 14,
Diedrich 35, Carrig 44. A -great many
farmers failed to vote for some reason.
Fleeks Hale of Battle Creek was elect
ed state senator in the district north of
us by sixty plurality.
The World-Herald of Omaha, whose
proprietor was defeated for congress,
says that twelve out of every hundred
fusionists stayed away from the polls.
The Fremont Herald, (democratic), no
ting the above, says that in Cotterell
township, Dodge county, fifty of them
didn't go near the polls on election day
enough to have changed the complex
ion of the whole legislative ticket.
The Humphrey Democrat also noticed
the lethargy, thus: Never in our re
membrance was such a slight interest
taken in election as was manifested last
Tuesday. There was a big stay at home
vote. Locally the decrease in the vote
was about 20 per cent.
As we write this paragraph, Saturday,
complete returns are all in from all but
six counties of the state. These coun
ties last year gave Sullivan a plurality
of 411. If the same rate of gains for re
publicans holds good in these as in other
counties, Poynter's plurality in them
will not be over 860. It seems then that
a fair estimate is that Poynter's plural
ity is about 2,900. The probability is
that the remainder of the state ticket is
about the same.
The Lincoln Journal of Saturday says
that the republican state committee con
cede the election of the fusion state
ticket and announce more positively
than ever that the legislature had been
carried by the republicana "If, as is
claimed, the legislature is 13' majority
for the republicans on joint ballot, W. V.
Allen will not be re-elected r United
States senator.
Burkett in the First, and Mercer in
the Second, are the two republican con
gressmen elect in Nebraska, the other
four being fusion.
Montana goes democratic: '''Kansas
republican by about 13,000. Edwin
Bidgely of the Third district will be the
only populist among the congressmen
in the state.
The republicans will have a majority
of fifty-two on joint ballot in the legis
lature. Theodore Roosevelt, republican,
late colonel of the First United States
volunteer cavalry, has been elected
governor by nearly 20,000- Aliof Col.
Roosevelt's associates on the republi
can ticket are probably elected with him .
Stone, a ploraljty in Pennsylvania of
122,000.
South Dakota, Philips, republican
majority ior governor oy lyim.
Illinois, about 30,000 majority for re
publican. Ohio, claimed for the republicans, by
over 40,000 plurality. The congression
al districts remain the same, republican
eleven votes, democrats six.
North Dakota, the state ticket repub
lican by 4,000. Twenty-one .out of
thirty-one senators, republican, and
fifty-four out of sixty-two, republican
in the house.
Minnesota, John land, silver republi
can elected, all the remainder straight
republican. All seven congressmen re
publican. Delaware stands 29 in the next legis
lature for republicans and 23 for demo
crate. A republican senator to succeed
Gray.
Wyoming, republican, and a senator
to succeed Clark.
Nevada appears as" though McMillan
is elected governor, hut Senator Stewart
succeeds himself.
Indiana, a glorious victory, by 15,009;
republicans ahead on joint ballot.
California, Connecticut, Maesachu.
setts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey and Wisconsin weut republican.
Maryland goes ahead, for republicans,
and they will be able to elect a senator
to succeed Gorman.
The democrats and fueioniste elected
governors in 8outh Carolina, Tennessee,
Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska.
It xrza a famous victory, but we could
wish that some of the overlapping ma
jorities in the big states could have been
given, in part, to JSeDrasxa.

LIFE IT ALSACE.
Sunday Dinner at
Heme.
a Farmer's
Under ordinary circumstances, an invi
tation to dinner is not to be refused, and
when our old school-mate living in the
suburbs of the city, insisted on having
us partake of his hospitality, we accepted
with pleasure.
A lovely day with a cloudless sky, such
as is seldom seen in Alsace greeted us on
the appointed day, and as we followed
the walk that leads through the well
kept grounds to the dwelling-house, it
seemed to us we had never seen the
flowers bloom in such perfection, never
had the hundreds of trees which adorn
the grounds displayed their foliage to
bettor advantage. Getting closer to the
house, rustic benches presented an invit
ing appearance; rocks piled up as if
nature pad left them there in one of her
s'treaks of fancy and a few venerable
trees close by made a fitting prelude to
the entrance of the home of our hospita
ble friend.
Received with marked affability by
Mrs. de R, the governess, we were intro
duced to the heiress, who also quite
young, seemed to enjoy the procedure,
and were then ushered into the apart
ments adjoining the dining room and are
soon joined by Mr. S?, wftp has a few
orders to give yet to some of Us'sasn,'
We had only exchanged a few words I
when Mrs. de B. announces that dinner !
is ready and we take our seats at the
table. Mere is the menu:
Potas a la Julienne.
Boenf a la mode do Cat b.
. Brochet with saace mayoaaaise.
Poalet roti with salad.
Dessert, fraita, cookies, etc
Mrs. de B. evidently is a good cook
herself or else has her servants trained
to perfection; the soup is delicious and
after partaking of the well-done beef, we
are asked to sample some home-grown
wine. The next course of the dinner is
brought on, we try a bottle of another
kind of wine which adds to the flavor of
the fine fish and reminds us of by-gone
days;, while we part nice of the poulet
rbti, we see our friend uncork another
bottle of old wine, and did we not know
him so well, we would suspect him of
some wicked design, but as some fresh
wine glasses are brought around, and the
wine flowing out of the bottle presents
that oily appearance which is only
acquired by age, we are quite ready to
sample this home-grown product. It is
called vinde la Hart, and although some
what too strong for our individual taste,
we are convinced that Bacchus himself
would drink it with relish. Another and
another bottle of wine are brought up,
each of a different kind, and although we
remonstrate, it is of v.o avail; we are
simply reminded that it may be n long
time before we meet asain. Mrs. de B.
who is a charming hostess, adds to the
enjoyment of the occasion by her bright
conversation and her witty remarks, and
helps us in our work of sampling the
different wines. Dinner is at last over,
our friend is satisfied that we have done
justice to the product of his vineyards;
Mrs. de B. orders the table cleared and
the black coffee is served. We are asked
what kind of brandy wo take with our
coffee, and although we usually leave out
all liquors, we feel tempted to try the
home-distilled kirsch, whose fine qualitv
is vau nted by ou r f rien d. We hnd hoped
thus to escape the new ordeal, but Mr.
S. is supplied with a great variety of
home made brandies and insists on our
sampling them. Rather than be thought
unkind, we bravely go to work and after
we have tasted his pmnolle, his anisette,
his peach and grape brandy, etc., we feel
as if we could lift a mountain and write
poetry at the same time.
We now adjourn to the parlor whose
careful furnishing and tasteful adorn
ment testify to the good taste of the
departed mistress. In honor of her
memory the room is left as she loved to
see it during her lifetime; family por
traits and a few oil paintings adorn the
walls, a little bric-a-brac, a collection of
rare shells skillfully arranged on the
mantelpiece give the room a home like
and attractive appearance; a waxed oak
floor, that luxury so dear to the heart of
the Alsacian woman, gives one the feel
ing as if walking on silk, and so far as
cleanliness is concerned, is certainly
superior to the universal American
carpet.
Our friend now suggests that we take
a stroll through the orchard. Only set
out a few years ago, most of the trees are
already in bearing; apples, pears, prunes,
plums, peaches, apricots, almost every
kind of fruit is to be found here. Nor
has small fruit been lost sight of either,
strawberries, raspberries.currants, goose
berries cover part of the ground and
wherever there is a square foot of ground
not taken up, grape vines are planted
and are loaded with the luscious fruit.
Not a weed is to be seen in the whole
orchard, and apparently no one is ever
allowed to grow there. Mr. b s. brother,
Mr. G., who is something of a misan
thrope, worse than that almost a miso
gynist, is the one who looks after the
orchard, and failing to find an interest
in what ho calls depraved humanity,
devotes his time to the growing of
flowers, shrubs and trees, whose endless
variety adorning the gardens and the
grounds, puzzle the novice. Thousands
and thousands of varieties of flowers
shrubs and trees, no two alike, fill every
inch of available space in the grounds
facing the street; hundreds of different
kinds of cactus kept during the winter
in the hot bouse, now luxuriate in the
bright sunshine; some are growing np,
some are growing down, some resemble
a man stretching out his arms, each and
every one of the thorny plants seemingly
at home in its appointed place.
We now find a shady nook provided
with benches and a table. A gentleman
and his three daughters living in the city
soon join us; our friend sends for a few
bottles of beer, and as the conversation
progresses now in French, then in Gor
man, a la mode du pays, we feel quite an
interest in the three girls, the oldest one
of which has scarcely reached her teens;
bright, lively, full of mischief, they romp,
they play, they join in the conversation,
when suddenly our eccentric friend, Mr.
G. addresses them in English. Great
was our surprise to hear English from
bis lips; greater was it yet to hear each
one of the girls as addressed answer him
without hesitation in the same language.
Several times already we had met young
people who bad only enjoyed a common
school education and who surprised us
with their knowledge of English. Even
making due allowance for the thorough
ness of the German schools in all their
branches, might it not be that Germany
has some ambitious design in view. A
good many over sanguine and patriotic
Germans proudly assert that no country
on earth could resist an invasion of their
army, and is it possible that they could
be dreaming of making a conquest of
that island in tho North Sea, and are
already prep-iring their sons and daugh
ters by the acquisition of the language
to take possession at soma future time,
of the coveted country; it ia unreasona
ble to suppose such a thing after theit
bombastic bravado aud ridiculous pre
tensions at Manila.
Time passes quickly in good company;
it has seemed only a few hours and
nearly the whole afternoon has passed
away; we must bid our friendB good
evening and take our departure; but
Mrs. de B. strongly objects, positively
refuses to let US' go, and insists that we
must stay to supper; while we are trying
to convince her that it is impossible for
us to stay, Mr. S., who had been called
away for a few moments makes bis
appearance, and between his positively
expressed wish and Mrs. de B's. entreat
ies not to leave, we postpone our depart
ure for a few hours,
A careful survey of the yard, the
barns, the granaries convinces us that
order, cleanliness and precision are some
of the qualities of Mr. S., who not only
raises all kinds of farm products but
daily furnishes to his city customers
some hundred gallons of milk of first
quality. Scientific feeding with a great
variety of feed, absolute cleanliness and
a daily record of the quantity of milk
given by each cow undoubtedly con
tribute largely to the success of the
business.
An hour or so thus passes away and it
is time for supper. As is customary in
Alsace, this meal is a good deal simpler
than the first meal of the day; neverthe
less, it neither lacks variety nor tempting
dishes, and we also partake freely of
several kinds of wine. When the meal
is nearly over, our friend invites us to
take a cup of tea to finish off, a 1
Anglaise, as it were. But now we object
and feel that this indeed is an imposi
tion and that we must draw the line
somewhere. With true self abnegation
we sampled every bottle of Alsacian
wine offered us, we silenced our well
known temperance scruples and mani
fested as good appreciation of the qual
ities of the wine as any native could have
done; no son of Erin could have done
better justice to the fine brandies, we
drank beer with a gusto that would have
done credit to a full-blooded Teuton;
and now we are asked to ape the people
of the country across the 'Channel;
although' we love the English we posi
tively decline to partake of their national
beverage.
Mr. S. escorts us part way home, Mrs.
de B. offers to accompany us to the Land
of the Free; but it would be more than
wicked to deprive our friend of bis
capable governess; and Sunday ends as
pleasantly as it began, a day of bright
sunshine followed by a star-lit night.
