A Favorable Decision

A favorable decision has been rendered
by the commissioner of the general land
Office in the case of the contest of F.
Danford, Esq, in his contest of the tim
Der claim lying Immediately west Of the
south half of the Wa-Keeney town site.
The decision is summed up at length,
and denotes clearly what may be expected
from the secretary of the interior in the
case of an appeal being taken By the con-
testee to that officer. This decision of
the land commissioner makes Mr. Dan
ford virtually a resident of Wa-Keeney.
He expects to fence the land, plant timber
and make other improvements thereon in

upon his good fortune.

Our handsome young school teacher

proposed to Mrs. Levi Morrison, whose
husband is east at work; to take Mr.
Purinton's team and 60 with her to Coll

stopped on the way at Mr.. Kessler's and
loitered away the time until it was late
before they got started from Collyer with
their load of coal. It commenced to rain
and at dark it was raining. At this
juncture the tire ran off wheel of the
wagon, so they had to camp til morning.
In the morning it was muddy, cold and
showing, SO our accommodating teacher
went and borrowed wagon and shifted
the coal. He rolled in about ten o clock
not looking very starchy.

An Interesting Suit.
State journal, Topeka, Oct. 1s'

State Journal. Topeka, Oct. 10.
Some time ago John d. Knox & Co.
sued the firm of Wetherbee & Morgan,
local loan agents at Wa-Keeney, for the
sum of $4,000, claimed to have been adj
vanced to Wetherbee & Morgan and
never accounted for. The matter made
quite stir in the western part of the
state, where Wetherbee & Morgan were
widely and favorably known. To-day
Wetherbee & Morgan, by Gleed & Gleed
and ]. d. Mcfarland, their attorneys, filed
their answer in tthe case. Defendants
present various counterclaims and ask
Judgment against John D. Knox & Co.
for the SUM of $4,000. Wetherbee &
Morgan claim that John D. Knox & Co.
agreed to purchase of them certain loans
amounting in all to about 100000, and
that they, Wetherbee & Morgan, relying
upon the agreement of John D. Knox &
CO., advanced large sums of money and
partial payments to borrowers for these
loans, and that afterward, during the
etringency in the money markets OF 81,
John d. Knox & Co. refused to pay for
the loans, and that by reason Of such re-
fusal the defendants lost some portion of
the money advanced to borrowers, and
were damaged in all the sum of 81, 600.
They claim further that John D. Knox &
Co. have received 5000 worth of loans
for which they refuse to pay. The suit
seems likely to be an interesting one, as it
involves good many points of interest to
borrowers in the western part of the
state.

he was going to refute the charges which
he is charged with having made in Will

any more after the explanation than be-
fore. He wound up by saying that there
was one charge that had no truth in it
That was that Tilton had used the state
money of the Forestry Station, virtually
admitting all the others. Mr.. Baker made
a few remarks, when Mr.. Rogers proposed
three cheers for Captain Hanna, which
the house failed to give. Metz said that
meeting which was held in Shepard's

HOMESTEAD.

June 5, 1888, the honorable secretary
OF the interior, in case Of Sophie M.
Jomesky, decided that the fact of COM
mutation does not necessarily defeat the
plea of poverty when offered as an ex-
cuse for temporary absences from the
land.
MINERAL.
In case of John Downs, decided by
Secretary Villas July %, 1888, it was held
that the existence of mineral In such
quantities as to justify expenditures in
the effort to secure it should be estab-
lished as present fact to bring the land
in the class of lands subject to mineral
entry. Proof should show that the i'm
provements have been made for the pur-
pose of developing the particular claim
applied for.

Something About Badeau.

BsIeau was born about tue time Andrew
Jackson was concluding his first term. He
| WAS 30 wears old when the war broke out,
| and after it had been going on for year he
| volunteered, and was appointed an aide on
| the staff Of Brig. Gen. Thomas Sherman 1t
,yas from this position that Grant took him
and made him his military secretary, with the
rank OF lieutenant colonel, and atterward
colonel He retired from the war at its close
a breyet brgadier. and it was through Grant
,hat he was made secretary OF legation al
London He was employed by Grant here,
At Washington, and he accompanied Grant
on his tour around the world. 1t was through
Grant that he got to be consul general at
Havana. and he has been mixed up in some
question as to his right to certain salaries
which he had drawn. So far, all OF his oil
cial positions came through Grant
His literary position he acquired ia the
same way. II was through Grant that he
got the material for his Military History of
Ulysses ) Grant II was through him that
he got the experience that enabled him to
write the works on the aristocracy Of Eng
land. and it was through him that he made
money out of his letters headed Grant in
Peace To show that it IS true, II is only
necessary to cite the other things which he
mas written. which have attracted no notice
whatsoever Badcau published in 1859 q
booi. called The NGgabond," a collection
Of essays which you will not now find even
in second hand book stores, and his Con
spiracy. IA Cuban Romance" published in
$50. ha, hardly had a national circulation.
The truth is that Badeau has become great
by the reflected light Of Grant, and tho at
tempt u make out Grant an ignorant, un-
grammatical writer, and a man unable t.
write the book which he left his children has
fallen lat. as far as Washington is concerned
II may be that Badeau was not treated
rightly in the settlement of the contract
which he had with Grant, but he has I'M
questionably injured himself greatly in stat
ing the case as he does
Gen Badeau is very ready writer, and he
writes we'll He is very pleasant CONVEX
sationist, and his round, red whiskered
face, his short stumPy form and his pleasant
blue eyes are well known in Washington. He
has been spending the winter here, and it is q
matter Of regret TO his friends that he has
become involved in the present controversy.
Even were he correct in his statements he
would have trouble i'll proving them to the
satisfaction of the people. and he has entered
into a controversy in which he is handi.
capped at the outset, and into which he will
get into more trouble the further he goes.
There is no doubt in the minds of the leading
thinkers at Washington that Grant is the
author of his own book, though he may have
received some Of the advice and the assistance
which Gen Badeau could, from his famili-
arity with the subject and his knowledge d
literary methods, SO easily give.-Frank G.

Night Sessions in Congress

Night sessions for debate only" are
the greatest curiosities of a congressional
session No vote can be taken at them
and no call for quorum made, and as d
consequence very few members attend eX
cept those who are to speak. The gal
leries are always empty except for the
regular crowd of hearers who huddle in
the mems seats near the clock, and even
the pages and doorkeepers talk politics in
the lobby to keep themselves awake until
the lights 60 out There have been in
stances where the member who was
speaking had no audience at all, and on
one occasion after debater had got
through and left the hall she sleepy chair
man had to send page afer him to bring
him back and adjourn the committee.
There had been no one else in the house
while he was speaking and when he left
he took the committee with him. The
chairman could not GIT it adjourn d be
caIlse there was no one to make the mo-
ton. and rather than stay up all night he
brought the member back 1t is needless
to say that there was no objection to the
adjournment, and that the motion was
carried unanimously New York Press
