The steamer Nippon Maru arrived at San Francisco yesterday from Hong Kong via Yokohama and Honolulu. The vessel was detained at Honolulu for several days on account of two deaths having occurred on the vessel from the bubonic plague. When the Maru entered the San Francisco port under the yellow flag the vessel was ordered to the quarantine station. All of the passengers were i.iuded on Angel island and neither doctors nor customs officers were allowed on board. The fumigation process was applied to some of her more important papers and they were -ent ashore. It is reported that a Japanese woman died two days ago from the plague after an illness of but a few hours' duration, but whether this report is true or not cannot be ascertained. The Maru will be kept In quarantine for some time, probably ssveral weeks. She carries fifty-five cabin passengers of whom six are Europeans, and 138 Japanese and Chinese in the steerage. Unconstitutionality of die legislature creating that tribunal. Some time ago the people of Ccrliss, Johuson county, filed a formal com plaint against the Santa Fe for not maintaining a telegraph operator at their town. A.J.Myatt, the state solicitor, held that the Corliss people uau a jusi cause of action, and at once filed suit in the court of vislta tion to compel the company to main tain an operator for their accommoda tion. Mr. Hard yesterday filed the com pany's answer in the form of a motion todismiss the suit, lies-aid: "The Atchison, Tope k a A Santa Fe Railway company protests against the jurisdiction and authority of the court or visitation aud the persons composing the same to hear, try and determine any complaint against the defendant under the provisions of an act of the legislature of the state of Kansas entitled, 'An act Creating a Courtof Visitation,declarlng Its juris diction and powers, and providing for proceedings and procedure therein,' approved January 3, 1899, for the reason that said act and each and every part thereof is in cootraventioB of the provisions of section 16, article 2, constitution of the state uf Kansas, and is void, and confers no authority or jurisdiction upon the persons con stituting said court of visitation to hear, try or determine the matters and things in said information set forth, or any of them." Section 16. article 2, of the constitu tion, to which Mr. Hurd refers, pro vides: "No bill shall contain more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title." Mr. Hurd claims that the court of visitation bill contains numerous sub jeets. 1 he company says that it does not maintain a telegraph agent atCorliss, for the reason that there is not suffl oitni uusiuess to jusiity the exptnse of such service. Corliss is a mile and a quarter from DeSota where the Santa Fe maintains an agent . How ever, the company has a depot at uiritssana a person who looks after the sale of tickets, and handles the freight. The motion to dismiss will be ar gued Monday, Mr. Hurd representing the company, aud Mr. Myatt, the state. If the court of visitation holds that it has jurisdiction the company it is understood, will commence an injunc tion suit In the supreme court to pre ?ent the visitation tribunal from proceeding with the case.

Someone played a low down, mean trick on Ed Tiukham last Sunday. Ed owns a private boat m81M creek and Sunday afternoon he look two young ladies to the creek for ebuat ride. Unnoticed that the boat was unusually hard to row. It Was all he could do to move it, but he laid it to the weight of the girls and mentally kicked himself for taking two of them. He taxed himself to the utmost to row the boat and the sweat rolled off him like water, with the thermom eter at 90 degrees m the shade. Finally, after he had about worn himself out. the boat snagged itself in the middle of the stream and the cause of the unusual weight gradually dawned upon him. He ran his arm under the boat and felt a rope drawn taut. It was all clear to him now. Someone had put a screw in the bot tom of the boat and attached a hun dred pound weieht. The rope was cut and the boat roed as easily as if noon men of oil. Ed is doing the detective act trying to find out who played the trick on him. Buy Plymoih Twine ol A. Graff.
