Discharged from Custody.

The haheas corpus proceeding in the
case Of A. Wiley, was concluded be,
fore Judge Boyd, early last evening, and
resulted in the discharge Of the prisoner.
The requisitiOa for his removal to Texas
had not arrived at the time the Judge
made his decision. Mr.. Wiley was seen ct
tie Mcclure House last evening. In reply
to questions he said he intended to go back
TO his home Of his own accord as soon as
be could. His money had been placed in
bank by Chief Of Police Smith, and he can
not obtain it until hank opens this morn
ing. Mr.. Wiley talked very freely about
his affairs, and said he had nothing to con-
ceal from the world. Had he not been
interrupted, he would have been hack
home long ago, his original intention be.
ing to remain in Wheeling hit q day or
two. He ispow very Snxious to get away.

side show. This is, of course, liable TO be
changed by the new license ordinance.

Through the combined action Of Council
and the Board Of Police and Fire Commits
sioners, it looks very much as though it
would be q long time before the increase in
the police force is finally made. At o re
cent meeting Of Council, the Board report
ed in favor of adding six deputy sergeants
and two detectives to the force, and offered
a resolution appropriatiug $500 for the pay
of the men until such time rs the annual
estimates for the department could be
made. Council approved the action Of the
Board regarding the number Of men,
but killed the resolution appro-
pristipg the money for their pay. This
seems TO have ended the matter, but
whether killed or not, it has resulted In
letting the city 60 for weeks without the
additional force which public opinion de,
mands. 1t. has been the impression that
the names of the new men would
be sent into Council tonight, but
at last nights meeting of the
Board no action was taken, and thus more
time will be lost. Two months have
elapsed since the murder of Officer Glenn,
and the force remains the some as before
his death; two weeks was sufficient to
have made the increase. 1t is beginning
TO look like a fue example OF how not 10
do it."

Mr. EDIToR-The following problen
| has been given to me to solve. and m.
answer having been disputed by parties
regarded as authority on such questions,
I ask the privilege of Offering the exam
pie and my explanation through the col
umes of your paper.
1t is as follows:
IF an article cost 20 per cent. more, the
gain would be 25 per cent less. What is
the rate of gain p
Answer: 150 per cent
EXPLANATION suppose an article cost
s100 and the rate of gain be per cent,
the gain would be cent. If the article
cost 20 per cent. more. the gain being the
same Zone cent? the rate would be 1-12O
of 100 per cent. or 5-6 of per cent By
adding the 20 per cent. of cost to the ac
tual cost of the article and taking same
gain, you reduce the rate 6 of per
cent Reducing the rate 1-6 of 1 per
cent with a rate of per cent. it is
evident that with the same conditions
you would lose 2-6 or 1-3 of per cent.
with rate of 2 per cent To reduce rate
25 per cent your rate of gain would have
to be as many per cent. as 1-6 of 1 per
cent. is contained in 25 per cent which
is $50 per cent; answer.
The proof is simple with any number

Two Wells to be Put

TIE PEOPLE AROUSED.

( Natural gas has been discovered escap-
ing from well two hundred and eight
feet deep. This well is about sixteen
miles southwest of Dodge City. The first
indication was given several weeks past,
when noise like the escaping of steam
was heard from the WELL This noise was
more distinct just before storm. or
change in the weather. This has been
gradually growing louder until now it
can be heard quarter of mile
from the we'll Satisfactory tests
have been made, and the people are wild
with enthusiasm. That there is strong
flow of of gas in this well at depth of
only two hundred and eight feet is un-
questioned. 1t is now demonstrated that
abundance of gas is to be had by boring
for it. o. Marsh has already contracted
a well five hundred feet deep with the
privilege of going two thousand feet.
The Dodge City Natural Gas and Min
ing Company has also been organized and
chartered They will begin work at
once. The people are thoroughly arous-
ed on the subject, and a complete test
will be made in Dodge City. This will
settle the question of the importance of
Dodge City as manufacturing center.
We will give more complete account
next week, when another test will have
been made.

SOIL IN FORD COUNTY.

Ford county has less waste land, and
more deep rich soil than any county in
Kansas, to say nothing of our num-
erous rich valley lands, including the
great Arkansas valley extending through

lands are exceedingly rich and fertile,
even in places where it Is deepest to
water. The rich black loam soil is
from six to ten feet in depth. The up

A correspondent of the New York
World, now in Europe, who holds init
mate relations with Mr.. Blaine, teIe.
graphs that paper that the latter has
decided to become a candidate for the
presidency since the free trade message
of President Cleveland has been made
public. Mr.. Blaine could undoubtedly
be elected if the tariff question is made
a distinct issue between the parties in
the campaign next year. But Mr..
Blaine's swift decision IN this matter
would seem to indicate that, in the
opinion, he is the only man in the party
who is an especial exponent of the
tariff principle. But this is not the
case. Mr.. Blaine has not endeared
himself more to the party or to the
American people on this account than
has John Sherman, Roscoe Conkling
or any other republican who has been
prominent in congressional life during
the past score Of years. There is no
more occasion for Mr.. Blaine to be a
candidate now than before the pres
ident yielded TO the pressure of his
party. The suddenness of Mr.. Blaine S
offer to sacrifice his comfort for the
good of his country only shows that he
must have been lying in wait for the
opportunity.
