MAGISTRATES COURTS.

| In Judge Thomas court yesterday, the
case OF Michael Downing charged with
stealing was up for hearing and continued
to to-day.
Warrant was issued for the arrest of VIM
Davis, charged with the theft of jewelry
from the rink on Wednesday, the property
of Mrs. Ninton.
In Judge Hobbs court yesterday an at
tachnent case was up for hearing, in which
Chaun cey Freeman was plaintiff and Chris.
Pierceberg was defendant. The action was
10 garnishee credit of his step-son and con
tinued TO a further hearing
Another case attracting the attention OF
the court was that OF the State of Kansas vs..
Dennis Thomas, in which Dennis stood
charged with disturbing the peace. The
prosecuting witness, Stella Bloom, recounted
TO the court the enormity of the offense
that had been committed. The principals
aid witnesses in this case were Of the col
ored persuasion, and Stella, who appeared
as the injured party, was what is impolitely
designated as saddle-colored, while the de-
PENDANT was several shades darker Dennis
Thomas had just gone through the mill as
defendant in the police court for gambling,
being drunk and carrying concealed weap-
| ons, and appeared in this
court to confront his prosecutor
who detailed how he had demanded admit
lance to her house at Il O'Clock at night
and when admittance was denied HIM he
had broken in the door and had invaded the
domicile Of the defendent "Dat mig
gar dar and anoder niggar and a
white man was dar, and dat is dc very same
black niggar. nows him by his ugly
black face, does" were the words of the
witness as she pinned the facts TO tie ear of
the court When asked by the defendants
attorney, Doc Kessler, where she lived,
she replied: You 'nows whar | lives,
you'se done been dar, you'se been dar Of
ten Witness also give an account of how
she had tried to put Dennis out and how he
had done other things which were very I'M
gentleman-like in a ladv's house.
The trial was one of the richest that has
graced the magistrates court for a long
time and she back ground WAS not lit up
but Swallowed with interested spectators of
the African race.
The fine assessed was 81 and costs, in de-
fault Of which Dennis Thomas was sent to
jail, where he already had a sentence from
the police court.

DON'T WANT A BONUS.

Yesterday evenings Beacon prints little
item concerning Mr.. Culvers stone saving
mill handed in to that paper by Mr.. Culve,
himself, but which was written by Mr.
Campbell, who is doing the construction OF
the mill. Mr.. Culver never looked at it a:
he assures Us and Mr.. Campbell intended
the item for he EAGLE, not for the Beacon,
but as the EAGLE had little squib aboui
the mill yesterday, and as the Beacon re-
porter has continually bored Nj Culver for
an item he handed ii to the Beacon, the idea
of bonus never entering his mind. Mr..
Culver leased piece of ground for the mill
a week ago and left his order for the ma
chinery at the Globe Iron Works, and never
thought of and wouldn't accept a bonus.
The astute editor of the Beacon, however,
with his usual deep penetration saw in the
innocent little squib, a deep laid scheme to
bleed the city, and laying off his father hub
bard coat, he proceeds to do Mr.. Culver up
in his usual faultless STYLE

tha. for month or more our miIlers
were paving even higher price for wheat
than could be got in Chicago. in conse-
quence of which they could not compete

or in sny market, for that matter. At the
prices they were paying for wheat, outside
millers could undersell them even in this
market. Our millers have had considera-
bic trade in Arkansas and the south and
they find that if they continue TO pay so
high for wheat they must inevitably loose
this trade. If We had the great Arkansas
Valley railroad built our riillers could pay
as high price for wheat as Chicago millers
and compete successfully with them in the
southern markets, but as it is now that is

"A NATTER OF PUBLIC CONCERN.

| An article under the above caption ap-
peared in yesterdays Beacon which from
certain facts in possession Of the writer, evil
IDENTIFY covers purpose not dreamed of by
the ten gentlemen whose names are append
ed to it. They are honorable gentlemen
and the writer believes majority of them
did not look below the surface of this mat
ter. The editor of the EAGLE is in Topeka,
and he who writes this article believes from
certain facts in his possession that there is a
'nigger in the fence" in this matter and that
| one man who upon its face, does not appear
| TO be concerned in it at all, is the prime
mover.
| Superintendent Campbell has made sue
cess of the schools, when others failed, and
| although he may be deficient in some stud
| les, he has demonstrated to the satisfaction
| of the school board and 10 large majority
| of the people of Wichita that he is compe-
tent to superintend the schools. II is
not always the caae that the best
educated men are the best educators After
having conducted the schools well for one
term, and having been again chosen super
intendent by the board of education, it is
rather late now to stir up the matter. It
was the duty of the board to elect new
board of examiners, and they certainly had
a right to choose whom they thought best
As the writer understands it, Mr. Campbell
made no complaint of ''set up job" nor
that he was unfairly treated at his examin-
alton. The "set up job" appears more evil
dent in the present move, and those who set
up the job are hidden behind the scenes.
The examination questions, as is stated in
the article, have been carefully preserved,
certainly, while all other examination
papers have been given up. This
probably is ''set up job" too.
Though Mr. Campbell may have,
failed in some points of the examination
and it is probable he did, there are others
occupying high educational positions whose
education is inferior to his The facts ap-
pear TO be that Mr.. Campbell can be shown
to have given bad answers in physiology and
some other branches, and certain gentle
men whose names are not to that article,
wish TO expose him, not in the interest of
the schools, but from less honorable mo-
tives. The writer believes, as set out at the
beginning of this article that q majority of
those whose names are signed TO the article
in question, have nothing to do with the
motives limited at and have been induced to
sign it witho ut having looked for any ul-
terror motives

IN THE POLICE COURT

Mrs. \. A. Packer was before the police
court, charged with violating the city fire
ordinances by moving building on lot %
Main street, on the 4th day Of August, 1854,
said lot being within the fire limits of the
| city. A motion to dismiss WAS filed by her
| attorney and overruled, and the case came
| up for hearing. The first witness stated tina;
his name was Charles Zininger. and that he
claimed two feet of the ground on which
| said house stood, and that the house was
one part Of another house, from which it
had been taken and removed distance over
three of defendants lots TO It's present loca-
tion.
The court decided that the moving of a
house from any point within the fire limits
to any other point within the fire district
was an offense, even if the distance moved
should be TO an adjoining lot Of the owner.
The court had no doubt on that question,
but the case, said the court, has not been
made out to my satisfaction, As two clauses
of the fire ordinances conflict.
The real sensation ofthc day in this court
WAS the introduction of four colored men,
Robert Thomas, VIM. Curd, Dennis Thomas
and Andy Wood, for gambling. They had
been indulging in what is styled crap play
ing. n fayorite game Of dice, exclusively
played by that race. and their entrance into
court WAS followed by fourteen Of their
colo-. They were all young men who
might be expected TO be in better business
and were accompanied BY an old auntie; who
said her only boy had been arrested.
Andy Wood. one of the defendants had s
crack on his head which showed on; in bold
relief on his close cropped head. He WAS
pu; on the witness stand but failed TO give
his pals SWAY. Aier the court failed TO
make a case 10 convict them he read the
gambling law TO the whole lot and stated
that he would not hesitate to put the highest
penalty on sny one who was convicted Of
gambling before him and discharged them.
Jake Rely was fined for very plain
drunk.
Annie Woods for gambling, and Annie
Woods for resisting an officer, and Annie
Woods for carrying concealed weapons was
fined also, and Annie Woods, the dusky
Annie Woods was sent 70, the cool er 70
tsrry awhile.

RUNAWAY PREVENTED


Just as the east bound train on the Santa
Fe was about to pull out from the Douglas
avenue depot yesterday evening, Minnie
Dibb, a little girl about twelve years of age
attempted to board the train but was
stopped by Policeman Maralatt. Minnie
is well known about the depot and when
she bought ticket the boys in Office sus-
pected something wrong and questioned
her, when she said she was going to see an
aunt in Kansas City. This not being alto
together assuring, Officer Maralatt was put
onto the racket and prevented her going as
already stated. On being closely questioned,
she owned up that she and her mother, who
lives on South Fourth avenue had a quarrel
and t3at she intended to skip out. From
other information gathered in this connec-
ton it appears this girl has been running
about good deal at nights and that her
mother had determined to put stop to it,
therefore she intended to skip out on her
own hook. The reform school is the best
place for such a girl.
