FRANK JAMES, THE CUT-THRoAT.

The notorious Missouri outlaw, Frank
James, is now on trial at Gallatin, Missou-
ri. He who has made the business OF throat
cutting profitable, is now making the saving
OF his own throat profitable TO half dozen
lawyers. The papers report that two or
three thousand long-haired specimens of
Missouri's catfish have crowded into the
little town TO witness the proceedings and
lend their influence in behalf of the beast
who shot down men with less concern than
he would have shown in killing his own
dog. Jesse James, another OF the gang Of
murderers, was assassinated by a pal named
Ford some months since, and now the other
brother, Frank, Is being testified against by
still another penitentiary bird. by the name
of Dick Liddil. This beau-ideal BUSH
whacker told his tale on the witness stand
last Saturday, and told 1t straight no doubt.
He gave history of the entire movements
of this gang Of outlaws for several years
preceding the Winston train robbery, in
which the conductor was shot TO death.
skipping no detail, not even the division
of the blood-stained dollars the next morn
ing. The Kansas City Times prints a por-
trait of Frank James which tells for itself
what wretched being he is, still the Times
correspondent declares that ColonelC) James
sizes up well with the lawyers at the bar Of
the Gsllatin court. After reading the tes-
timony OF Dick Liddil. it does not seem
possible that any jury in America could
return verdict OF "innocent," but from
what we know Of the people OF country
which has been the retreat Of such breed
ms the Youngers, Andersons, Hites, Liddils.
Jameses and Qsantrells, we take no chances
in saying Frank James will be found mot
guilty,r

THOSE FINES.

Some few weeks since about two dozen or
more yiolators Of the prohibition law, old
and new, were arrested and fined each Sl00
and costs. The whole crowd refused TO pay
their fines and were ordered committed.
The commissioners refused TO so to the nee
essary expense TO fix up place TO hold and
board SO many, the jail being full; which
matter was set forth in their resolution re-
leasing the condemned from confinement.
This action was severely criticised by many.
Upon inquiry into the matter the chairman
OF the board said that the order was not
made for the purpose OF relieving the par
ties from the penalty Of the fine, but TO save
the county wha: would prove a heavy ex.
pensc; that the fine was not only lien up
on the property OF the offenders, but upon
the property which they occupied at the
time of the violation of the law, and that
the fines would all be collected IL not paid
voluntarily. We are informed that the fines
not having been paid, processes for their
collection have been issued. The county
has not been at cents expense. The costs
amounted TO $3.50, which were paid by the
defendants. The county attorneys fees
were about 5000. What il would have cost
10 fix up for and keep thirty odd prisoners,
can be figured by others as well.
This is written In answer 20 an inquiry
made by a subscriber and we believe is cor
rect. at least il is so far a. we know.

CRANKY.


The Democratic ringmasters are assidu-
ously at work in the vain endeayor TO cap
ture few Republican votes by the anti
prohibition howl. There are large num-
Der Of sincere Republicans who are sincere
ly opposed to prohibition. but they are not
Democrats, nor can they be gulled into the
belief that democracy means anti-prohibi-
ton. They know that democracy means
anything on earth TO get Democrat into
Office. IL means free trade here, protective
tariff there, and ''reyenue only' some
where else. II means anti-prohibition in
Kansas, strict prohibition in Georgia, high
license In Missouri, free whiskey in Ohio,
which-eyer-way-the-w ind-blows in Iowa,
and nothing In particular everywhere else.
In fact there is but one question of policy
on which modern democracy is united, and
that is "beg office" Into this ridiculous
enterprise, which Of Itself has no pith, they
are trying 10 thrust the embers of the now
comatose issue Of anti-prohibition. The
ringmasters OF the democracy OF Sedgwick
county are cranks and fanatics on s.anti-

RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS.

If the railroad bonded Indebtedness OF
this country is nearly seven billions OF dol.
lars, it is an interesting question to what
extent our railroad bonds are owned by
European capitalists. The annual interest
charge at seven per cent. would be $780,
1000, and who is getting this enormous
revenue? But rs Poor's Manual puts the
annual amount paid by railroads for inter.
est on their bonds at S149, POS, sos, newspa.
per summaries Of the figures given by the
Manual are evidently as full Of errors as
usual.
The capital stock of Kansas railroads,
s6s, SOL 900, is an average Of 49, 6s per
mile OF track, at which rate the railroad
capital stock OF the entire country should
be 81, sO4 1854, 900. Poor's Manual gives the
entire capital stock at %, 4J6, 07s, 1876, which
is 81 ,65l 1894 1876 more than it would be on
the Kansas average per mile.
1t would seem from these figures that the
railroads OF Kansas carry much below the
average bonded Indebtedness and capital
stock per mile.

Aw,upoRrAnr DECISION.

The following communication, in the
form Of an official opinion, was rendered.
last week by the Kansas railway commits
sioners aud will prove Of interest to grain
shippers and purchasers:
NJ. s. T. Smith, Sspe'iatendenf Of Ksnsas
Disssios Of U. p. X. X.
DEAR SIR referring TO your letter OF
the 10th inst, wherein you ask whether,
under the law, you may not protect the bu-
siness OF elevators built along the line Of
your road, where suficien: capacity exists
to handle all the grain through them, and
this service is offered to be done by all
alike on equal terms, by prohibiting track
loading from wagons, or by other means
other than elevators, we have to reply that
in our judgment such course would not
be warranted under the law.
Section 0 provides that SIT shall be the
duty of any railroad company when in its
power to do SO, and upon reasonable no.
tice, to furnish suitable cars 70 any and all
persons who may apply therefor, for the
transportation Of any and all kinds of
freight"

HARPER'S CROP.

The Wichita EAGLE is giving sharp criti-
cisms to some of the northern and eastern
papers Of Kansas, charging them with mis-
statements concerning the Arkansas Valley.
It seems strange that SO much ignorance
and prejudice should be exhibited by those
who ought to know better, and this years
crops will certainly leave no further chance
for the plea Of ignorance. Our county is
not behind any Of her sisters in the wheat
belt, in its productiveness. The yield Of
wheat, corn, oats. millet, potatoes. sweet
potatoes and sorghum, in Harper county, is
not exceIled by any county in the United
States. In many places we hear OF excep-
tionally large crops Of some Of these staples
but here all are beyond the average Of even
these exceptions. None OF the estimates
by the state board Of agriculture for 1888,
are as high as the actual productions.-An-
kAogv Journal,

QUITE A CITY.

One of the editors Of the Winfield 7sis-
gram, who spent day In Wichita last week
notes the fact in this way:
We took trip to Wichita last week. The
first person We met with whom we were &C
quainted was Billy Smith, Of lumber noto-
riety. In response to An inquiry, we stated
that we wished 70 stake in the CITY," We
commenced on Shelton, and viewed the ter
sor OF Wichita with some trepidation, but
found a genial, pleasant gentleman, who In.
sisted upon leaving his work and showing
us around. Catching on TO the Sinners
tow-line, we foated around among the
heavy weights Of the Forest City, gazed
upon Sluss, Hatton and the deputy United
States marshal, shook hands with Captain
White. and by whom we were safely en-
sconced in chair that made US think Of the
bottomless pit. Leaving the Beacon ONCE
we encountered the Murdoch Bros, Of the
EAGLE. and viewed with awe the s'Palingen-
esis, end OF the firm. The Sinner here turn
ed us over to Roll Murdoch, In whose com.
psny we were driven through the beautiful
" shaded streets, over the street car line, to
the water works, gas works. over the new
iron bridge, and saw everything that was to
be seen, including the fact that Wichita Is
getting to be quite city and Is putting on
metropolitan airs with surprising grace and
frequency. After taking dinner with Smithy
at the fremont, we called upon Ed. Hovey,
former druggist OF Winfield, who enter

CORN FIGURES.


The Wichita EAGLE has been blowing its
horn loudly about the corn of Sedgwick
county reaching from Egypt TO the moon
aud representing the crop OF that county as
superior 10 that OF any other county. Now
we are willing to admit all II says If it will
except Cowley county from its comparison.
The editor has not Travelled this way and he
had better not. If he should come down to
Cowley and see our $4,000 acres OF corn,
our corn stalks fifteen TO eighteen feet high,
q corn stalk producing and bearing three
and four ears OF corn, an ear of corn with
1896 grxins and each grain three fourths OF

acres Of such corn IN Cowley county, he
would, in his chagrin, 90 and drown him.
