He Dares Kellogg to "Knock that Chip on
His Shoulder"
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Mr. Ker, In his
testimony before the Springer Commit.
tee yesterday said it seemed that KEEL
logg had gone about newspaper offices
and talked about him. He had been in
formed that he (Kellogg) had told certain
correspondents that he would or ought to
take shot gun and blow out his (Ker's)
brains. 81 want to say right here" said
witness, 'that if Kellogg wants that kind of
satisfaction, if he will let me know the
time and place, l shall be there. If he
wants that kind of satisfaction he may have
it. My character has never been assaied.'
Witness told him there was no use bother
ing with indictments in the Parker-Salis-
bury combinations; that he was going TO
arbitrate them. 81 said he couldn't do il
legally, and that was the end of it," Ker then
referred TO the proceedings of the Mitchell
grand jury, and said there was not the
scratch of pen to show that any record had
been kept; that other grand juries kept
records except the one which convened the
following June and which considered the
Kellogg case. "Whoever was responsible
for this omission" Ker continued, fought
to be held accountable" Reference was
made to the indictment of Dorsey and Brady
by the Mitchell grand jury. In preparing
the indictment Ker said he included Kel.
logg's name, but the jury omitted it. Mer-
rick insisted that the Kellogg case should be
brought before the grand jury. Bliss OPP
posed il, but finally the Attomey-G General
gave orders to proceed with the indictment
against Kellogg, and witness went before
the grand jury and presentment was made.
Bliss was Indignant at the indictment being
found. He went to New York and said he
would not come back. He was induced,
however, TO return. Ker continued: "Kel-
logg told Bliss he took the twenty thousand
dollars received from Price and used it fol
political purposes in Louisiana"

KANSAS Cry, May ga special to the
Journal from Topeka, says: The number
OF cases OF CHAMBERS In the State is becoming
alarmingly great especially as there have
been three well authenticated cases in the
human family. Two men in Ottawa COUNT
have died OF this terrible disease. One was

pet horse. She fingered but a short time

man. Reports come to Dr. Holcomb from

disease is known to exist or is suspected.
Sometimes the symptoms are so blind as to

That where Dr. Holcomb was called on to

not been called to it, he would never have
suspected the presence of the disease. II
was known that whenever this horse

horses. The last owner suspecting it. called

skill, was in doubt The owner, however,

done, and upon post mortem examination
his head was found to be reeking with rot

disease in several localities, his track being
as noticeable as the path of a cyclone
through the State. So far as reported there
have been only one or two men who have
objected to the killing of their animals, all
the others considering the total loss gain

does not recompense owners for animals de

animals, and orders them killed whenever he

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Representative Willis of Kentucky, Has
Hopes OF Getting Action In the House on
This Important Measure.


Hopes of Getting Action In the House on
This Important Measure.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May q.
Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, the author Of
the House educational bill, hopes to get
that subject before the House for
Its action this week. Now that the
bulk of the appropriation bills are
off the hands of the House, it Is in.
clined to tHn its attention to some of the
more important measures before It,
which are for the good of the general
public. In fact, the leading members
recognize the necessity for doing some
thing Almost six months of the session
have passed, and it is difficult TO point out
any general measure Of Importance, aside
from the pleuro-pneumonia bill, and
one or two others of general nature,
that have passed the House. The gen.
eral impression among the friends of she
educational bill is that It will not meet
with serious opposition at the House end
of the Capitol. 1t was pretty thoroughly
discussed In the Senate, and the Senate
put the bill in such shape as TO give gen.
eral satisfaction. As amended by
the Senate, It is now very similar
to the bill INTRODUCED in the House
by Mr.. Willis; so it is proba-
BILE that Mr.. Willis will, when the bill
comes up in the House, move 10 substi-
tute the Senate bill for his own, In order
10 lessen the complications which would
follow, should the House adopt Its own
bill instead of the Senate's, and the pros.
pect that the bill may become law seems
to be very good

Had to Pay.

NATION, ILL, May 29.-Several years
ago Hickory Township, Coles County, voted
$40, 900 in bonds to aid the Tuscola, Charles
ton & Vincennes Railroad, on the condition
that the road should be built to some point
within two miles of the geographical centre
of the township. Years passed and the
road had its charter changed so that il
could leave out Tuscola and Vincennes and
build to the northeast. Considerable grad
ing was done under the first management.
the head of which was General Aver
of this city, who, becoming pressed
made contract with the Supervisor
of Hickory to take the bonds and deliver
them to Aver. j. b. Brown, contractor,
sued Aver and in some way got possession
of the bonds. He brought suit against tn
township. The Toledo, Cincinnati IL ST.
Louis Railroad has in the meantime been
built over part of the old roadbed. Hickory
Township lost the suit and seeded from the
union, electing no township officers. The
principal and interest of the Judgment
amount to $4,000 at present A compro-
mise has been effected by which Hickory
Township agrees to pay two-thirds of this
amount. 1t will almost bankrupt the town
ship.
