torney for the defendant, continued unit
the September term, 1887.
In the meantime the question of jnris
diction had arisen and, indirectly, was
pending in the Supreme Court, and, az
correctly stated by you, Judge Osborn
continued the case over the September
and January terms of the court, when il
was the understanding of the bar, the
court and both parties that the case
should be continued from term to term
until it was acertained by the decision OF
the Supreme Court in which of the coun.
ties-Trego or Wallace the case should
be tried. These continuances were with
the knowledge and consent of Mr.. Dan.
ford, attorney for the defendant. I then
thought, as now, and / am quite sure
that all the attorneys connected with the
case, as well as the Judge, thought that
it should not be tried here nor sent to
Wallace for trial until the question of ju-
risdiction was finally settled.
You say that the District Judge orders
it (meaning the case) continued on the
ground that he feared this court had no
jurisdiction to try an offense which had
been committed in Wallace county. If
this be true, and agree that it is, then
I do not think either Mohler, Gilkeson
or myself are justly chargeable with negli-
gence as in and by your article alleged,
and in making this statement I do not
wish to shrink from any just response
bility or in the remotest degree to charge
Judge Osborn with censure or blame. On
the contrary, I know he has not only
aimed to do, but has done, his duty fear
leesly and conscientiously throughout the
whole case. I am equally certain that
neither Mohler nor Gilkeson are justly
blamable for the result of which you COM
plain.
I think the greatest blame, and perhaps
all the blame, If any, is chargeable to the
incompleteness and indefniteness of the
law of 1887, in the attempt to organize
the county Of Wallace.
Very respectfully,
A. j. HARLAN.

FREIGHT RATE CUTS.


The reductions in freight rates to
Wa-Keeney, which we publish else
where, form one more link in the
chain of events which unites our
community with the East. Other
roads are occupying and shadowing
territory which heretofore this road
has held without question. These
cuts in freight rates are, therefore,
for self-protection. The railroad
company can stand the effects of
any reasonable cuts in rates which
it may feel compelled to make. All
such cuts benefit our people. Not
only can they ship in articles more
cheaply than they could before, but
the goods which our merchants ship
in on these cut rates can be sold a
percaptible shade lower than the
goods that were brought here under
the old rates.
The trade Of Wa-Keeney should
be augmented in every legitimate
manner possible. If goods are sold
cheaper, more Of them will be
bought. Every new purchaser who
is attracted to the town, and is con-
verted into a steady patron, becomes
a tower Of strength in its support.

TOO HARM!

Last weeks Wa-Keeney World con
tains an exceptionally well-written and
interesting epitome of the history oi
Trego county, written by w. S. Tilton tc
be deposited in the corner stone OF the
elegant new Trego county court house,
now in process of construction. We
should like to see Mr.. Tilton try his hand
on history of the whole state of Kansas,
and We believe he ought to do it Gay
lord Herald.
Well, friend Headley, we will see
You later about trying our ''hand
on history of the whole state of
Kansas" Mr.. Pinkham, our CO
laoorer in writing the history of
Trego county, would have to assist
us if we were to undertake that;
and we fear he would not yield to
any pressure which we could bring
apon him during these warm days.
Seriously, though, we would very
much like to have the time outside
: the newspaper business to write a
history Of the western one-half of
Kansas. 1t would do us good to
analyze the present status of this
region with direct reference to the
nature of its future development
and the probable time required to
convert it into a region as beautiful
and fruitful as the valley Of the
Hudson. Eastern Kansas does not
reflect fairly what western Kaneas
VIII be; it is too muddy down there.
We would not have this transfor-
nat;on come to western KANSAS

OPPOSING OBSERVATIONS.
County Attorney Harlan on the Nc
Micken Case.

To the Hon. ". s. Tilton, Editor, Etc,
SIR: In your paper of the 18th inst, in
an article headed ga Kansas Event" in
reference to the case of the State of Kan.
sas VS. James McMicken for murder, you
have unintentionally, doubtless, done the
history and facts of the case, Mr.. A. D.
Gilkeson, Mr.. J. G.. Mohler and myself
great injustice; and in order that you
may make proper correction, call your
attention to the following statement in
said article, viz:
"Thus for the first time in the juris-
prudence of this state, is discharged from
Imprisonment for grave offense, nvtAont
a trial and as the result of negligence xbon
tile Part of the prosecution, man of whose
cuilt or innocence the public had a right
to be apprised at the end of trial. The
attorneys for the prosecution were A. j.
Harlan, OF Wa-Keeney, J. G. Mohler, of
Salina, ana A. d. Gilkeson, of Hays
City,
The facts in this case show that the
murder was committed in September,
1886, in the county of Wallace, which. at
the time, was attached to Tre9o county
for Judicial purposes, and continued to
be 90 attached until the 10th of March,
1887, when the county of Wallace was, by
the legislature of the state, attempted to
be organized and provision made for
holding two terms of court in each year,
viz: 'The first on the fourth Monday in
April, and the second on the fourth Mon
day in October.-(See Session Acts Of the
Legislature of 1887, page 207)
McMicken was arrested in September,
1886, and recognized to appear for trial
in Trego county at the next term Of our
court which then commenced the first
Monday in June and the second Monday
in December. The first term of our court
after McMicken's arrest and confinement
in Jail was in December, 1886, and not in
May. 1887, as stated in your paper.
At the time Of the commission OF the
crime, and for many months thereafter, /
was not the prosecuting attorney Of the
counties of Trego and Wallace nor either
Of them. When I did assume the duties
of the Office there was no information
against McMicken on file. On May 3d.
1887, I put one on file and ordered sub.
p@nas for thirty-three witnesses, to an
pear on behalf Of the state at the Nav
term Of our court, 1887.
At that term, the case being called
for trial and the state being ready.

Americas Answer to the Dominion's
Pronnsal for a Trade Intnrcnnrsa

Americas Answer to the Dominion's
Proposal for Trade Intercourse.
OTTAWA (Ont.), March 7th.-Canada's
proposal for settlement of the fisheries
dispute on trade basis, and the American
answer thereto, were laid before Parliament
to-day by consent of the negotiators. The
proposition from the British Plenipo-
tentiaries was to the effect that fishermen
of both countries should have all the privi-
leges enjoyed during the existence of the
fishery articles of the treaty of Washing
ton in consideration of mutual arrange
ment for the freedom of commercial inter-
course.
The American negotiators declined the
proposal because the great freedom so pro-
posed would necessitate an adjustment of
the tariff by Congressional action, which
adjustment they consider impracticable,
through the medium OF the treaty, under
present circumstances. Nor could the
Americans admit that such an arrangement
could be accepted as constituting a suitable
basis

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make il the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies, concoeted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge, have weakened the conf
dence of the great majority OF sufferers in all
advertised remedies. They become resigned to
life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met
at every stage and combated with all our might
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
