A New Town in Sherman County.

Eustis is the name of new town
which has been surveyed on decided
land in the center of Sherman county,
Kansas, being located on sections 16
and II, township Is, range 80, the
plat for which is being printed now
The proprietors Of this place are:
P. S. Eustis, general passenger agent
of the Burlington lines, at Omaha;
A. i. Tomblin, cashier Bank of Stan
berry, Mo-, and half owner of the
Thomas County Bank at Colby, Kan
sas; c, E. Corporan. of the well-known
firm of J. w. Allen & Sons, Oberlin,
Kansas; W. H. Copeland, State rep
resentative for Thomas county, and
j. A. Werner, a well-known citizen of
northwest Kansas.
There has been two other towns
started this winter in the same county
but neither have succeeded because
of the fight between the two and lack
of means and facilities for work in
both cases. But the location of Eus-
It's is now fixed and there can be no
doubt as to its future as the incorpora-
tors are men of energy and are pos
sessed of ample means and facilities
for making success of it. Mr.. A. L.
Tomblin is putting in bank to be
called the Sherman County Bank and
the building is now complete j: w.
Allen & Sons are engaged in erecting
a large store building and Mr.. High
is putting up boarding house, and
arrangements have already been CON-
pleted to assure to the new town quite
a number of industries of different
kinds. A good hotel man is want
ed and inducements will be offered
to the right kind of man. The ne
cessary petition has already been for
warded to make a postoffice of the
place and daily hack line in two di-
rections to railroads will be running
in few days.
From the character of the men
backing the town there can be no
doubt as to its success. Eustis will
be the county seat of Sherman coun-
ty.-Kansas City Journal.

Purpose Last Evening.

Quite a number Of dry goods and clothing
statesmen of the retail trade interested in the
movement to close the stores at o'clock p NJ
met in Judge Howe's court room last night
There were about fifty present. including few
cutters. j. Lester Gabriel announced that all of
the leading merchants of the city, except one,
had given their support to the proposition and
the only thing needed now was an effective or
ganization on the part of the statesmen and
others whose interests are Identical VIM. NJ
johnson, Of the When, became president of the
temporary organization; VIM. D. Dewey, of the
Model, secretary; Robert Armstrong vice-presi-
dent, and j. l.. Gabriel treasurer.
Mr.. Gruelle, of the Labor Signal, advised the
statesmen that the purposes of their association
could be better served if they became Unidentified
with the Central Union. by that means" he
said, 'you will be able to get support that will
aid you greatly-one that will make it warm
for your employers if they do not
accede to your rightful demands"
A discussion ensued as to the necessity of
joining the Knights of Labor The opinion
that that order would be essential in helping
them to what they ask for prevailed
1t was decided to call the new organization the
Indianapolis Early Closing Association, and a
committee on constitution and bylaws is to re-
port at another meeting The statesmen agreed
to ask for the closing of stores at 6 o'clock on
each evening except Saturday.

1t has long been known by those who have
had the use of certain sources of information
that the Police Commissioners had determined
upon removing Superintendent Lang. The
Democratic members of the board have only
been waiting their opportunity, and at the meet
ing, Monday, they will consider the formal
charges that have been preferred against
him. 1t appears that W. F. A. Bernhamer
has made the necessary afidavits sup
porting the allegations of Langs ineficiency
and his refusal to enforce the laws. 1t is also
charged that the force fails to give him the re-
spect due superior officer and that the patrol
men are insubordinate. These are specifications
which belong to worn out gossip and news-mat-
ter that has several times gone through the

is expected will be made by Hord & Elam IN

Injunction Against a County officer

The indianapolis Chair Manufacturing Com
pany has brought suit in the Superior Court,
seeking an injunction against County Treasurer
Miller. The plaintiff states that the Board Of
Equalization, last June, fixed the taxable value
of the company's real estate and personally at
$4,000, but the county auditor, by mistake or
otherwise has carried the valuation on the
duplicate at $99,575. 1t is alleged that after the
company has paid tax on the $75. 600 value, the
county treasurer wants to collect further tax on
the difference between that sum and the errone-
Gus valuation of $99,575. An injunction to pre-
vent him from so doing is asked for.
