I. Sixeypard today called attention to the fact that just such a judgment as Attorney General Coleman has asked to restrain the city of Leavenworth from collecting lieense from liquor dealers has stood against that city since 1887, and that all Cole man or anyone else need have done was to cause the mayor, cotraeilmen, policemen and other city officers to be cited to answer to the Supreme court for contempt. The same judgment stands against Topeka. Toe capital city has always sought to evade the judgment by refusing to collect, di rectly, any fines frcm the saloon keepers, but Leavenworth has openly fixed the price for selling liquor and has openly defended the policy of collect ing licenses each month. The action resulting in the judg ment against Leavenworth was brought on September 22, 1S96 and is exactly similar to that now brought by Coleman.

The prayer of the peti tions is for exactly the the same thing, and the judgment is exactly as the one Coleman has asked for. I was a suit by "The state on relation of the attorney general, afainst the city of Leavenworth, to forever oust city from exercising or attempting to exercise the power to authorize or license the sale of intoxicating liquors therein." In March, 1S87, the Supreme court rendered an opinion vhich In. effect permanently enjoined Leavenworth from collecting fines or licenses from saloons and subjecting the officers who did so to summary punishment for contempt. Notwithstanding this fact, the city government has for many years since that judgment was rendered, openly and notoriously connived with saloons. Only the other day the Leavenworth papers quoted the mayor as Issuing an order to sa-Ioonkeeprs not to permit women to loiter In their places.

Javenfle Paroled. Arthur Brown, 14 years old, who resides in Greystone Heights, was paroled by Juvenile Officer Charles S. Griffin this morning. The boy had been found guilty of tealing from car3 in the railroad yards and was sentenced to the reformatory. The Goods.

SMITH, Market Master, WESTERN TOWNS ALL HATE A -ROOT HILL'' NEAR BY. Where These Wh Lhed by the and Died by the Gnu Were Laid Away to Final Rest With Their Bopte On.

Every one of the little frontier towns of twenty years ago had is "Boot Hill, where those who lived by the gun and died by the gun were laid away with their boots on, but it is hard to find these unique and romantic burial places today, says the Butte Miner. The gun fighters cemetery at Dodge City, is now the' site of a fine schoolhouse and school children romp CTer the ground where many a eowiboy was burled at the time when the little town at the end of the cattle trails seldom saw a day pass without Its murder. But. at Billings, Mont, one carea to take a walk of two or three miles to a hill overlooking the flats of the Yellowstone, there is a frontier graveyard just as it was left years ago. -Boot hill" is a survival of the old town of Coulson, which was established on the Yellowstone about six miles above the site of Billings long before the hustling littre center of the wool trade was ever thought of.

Coul son was one of those wonderful mush- rom towns of the frontier. Steamboat traffic on the Yellowstone ended there. It was here Gen. Terry's boats were bound at the time of Custer massa cre an 1 at Coulson centered the picturesque life of southeastern Montana trappers, buffalo hunters, scouts, soldiers, friendly Indians, half-breeds, gamblers, and the riffraff that always managed to find its way to the outposts of civilization. Chief interest in Coulson's cemetery centers in the grave of the famous scout and marshal "Muggins" Taylor.

This grave is in the center of the cemetery, surrounded 'by the remains of a wooden fence. Taylor was cue of the celebrated characters on the frontier. He was a scout and indian fighter whose courage. was unquestioned. At the time Cusier made hh iil-consid-ered dash into the Big Horn country "Muggins" Taylor was one of the seouts.

At the last minute he went with Reno. After those terrible days of suspense had bean ended by the discovery that all of-Custer's command had been killed, Taylor volunteered 10 carry the news to the outside world. He made a record-breaking ride through a country infested with hostile Indians, all made bold by the victory over Custer. After killing several horses, Taylor arrived at Stilwa-ter scarcely able to sit in the saddle. Here he was dismayed to find the government wire down.

But Horace Countryman volunteered to carry Taylor's message to Helena, where he arrived haggard and "all in." From Helena the news was flashed over the wires and the country was apprized of the fact that the gallant Custer and his men were no more. Through the ride of Taylor and Couairyman th pews of the Caster battle was sent out a whole day in advance of the reports filed by the government scouts at Bis-rnark cn July 5. About rhis time the town was in need of a marshal who could bring order out of the frontier chaos. Shooting scrapes were so numerous that the most good-natured Montanans began to object. So "Muggins" Taylor was chosen town marshal and thing3 began to take on a different aspect.

As soon as a bully began to fortify hlmself with red liquor the preliminary of a quarrel "Muggins" camped ou his trail and took his weapons away, sometimes me scouu was snui at, but he generally replied so quickly that the gun man bit the dust, for the old Indian fighter was lightning with a Colt. After a few weeks of office-holding "Muggins' entirely changed the aspect of Coulson. The processions to Boo; hiir became few and far between. Put "Muggin career was brought to a sudden termination. A beardless youth, who thought it would bring hira much glory if he could kill Taylor filled up with whisky and began to "shoot up the town." Tae marshal approached to take the boy's weapons the youth shot the old scout through the heart Owing to the youth of the slayer he escaped without the customary frontier justice.

"Muggins" was buried in state on "Boot hill." Today "Boot hill" is in neglect. Most of the cedar slatos used to mars the graves have rotted. One or two remain, but the painted inscriptions have been so worn by wind and rain that they are hardly legible. At one end of the ground is a rock on which someone has carved "In Memory of the Dead." But She'd Need a Hat, Too!

Magnificent, comprehensive, eloquent, embracing much appropriate-uess of language, gratifying, delightful, pleasing all might be said in a feeble effort to do justice to Senator J. P. Dolliver of Iowa and his subject, "Public Virtue as a Question in Politics. But the right words to befit the need of expressive compliments are "power" and "statesman." Power, as it is construed to aneaa faculty of doing; force, with reserved quantity; strenth of brain and manhood, fed from the fountain inexhaustible, influence, by actmg bravely, thinking deeply and gently persuading by proof in argument, which is the virtue of a statement Power is sometimes defined as a "state."

He had not spoken five minutes until his hearers granted to him the position of one vested in authority, and he legally maintained himself In this esteem by bringing to us a thoughtful, scholarly message, backed by twenty years experience in the congress of our nation, doing things.
