WICHITA, KAN, February 18.-The family
IF Henry Jackson, q wealthy farmer living
near this city, had terrible fight with q
mad bull yesterday. The animal, a valuable
Durham, was considered very quiet and
completely under the control Of the owner,
and was thus given the freedom of the place.

old, went into the yard the bull rushed upon

fellow to the ground. The mother, who saw
the trouble, ran to the assistance of her
child, was attacked and gOrsd horribly. The

CoEoORDIA, KAN, February ia farmer
named Plus Bean, living near here, suffered
ds4sh in a singular manner yesterday. He
had a feed grinder run by a wind mil and
having occasion TO climb above the grinder,
the shaft, which was turning at the time,
caught his clothes and n spite OF the mans
effort, his stout coat and pants were wound
around the iron bars. He called to his en-
pIoyes to cut him down, but they could moi
reach him. It was q fearful squeeze; the
sufferer face grew purple, his eyes bulged
and the veins stood out. At last the mill
could wind no further and stopped; but too
late, the breath had been squeezed out OF
its victim aud he hung hfeless from the
shaft.

NEW YORK. February l5.-DistEiCt AttoE-
nsy Fellows said to-day that he should lay
the facts in the complaint against Jay
Gould and Russell Sage, for the larceny Of
S3,U0O,OOO, before the grand jury some day
this week, probably Friday. He shOuld
make no recommendation, nor would he
advise the grand jury what course they
should pursue unless the grand jury should
request him TO do SO; In that event he would
90 before them and give them whatever as
sistance was In his power.
The yarn that Colonel Fellows has said
that he had been approached by persons
Interested IN the case, grew up in this Wav:
He remarked in somebody's hearing that
the case was exciting much interest, and that
people had approached him in the streets,
and stopped him On the corners to ask him
questions about it. Some OF these people
said that Gould and Sage ought to be rail-
rOaded to the state prison by the shortest
route.
II answered all such remarks" Colonel
Fellows said yesterday 'by saying that
Gould and Sage would be treated precisely
as other men are treated who are complain
cd Of for larceny.

WHAT CAMPAIGNING COSTS.
by the governor:
GEO. w. MCBBIDE,
Secretary of State.

Now that the counting of votes
has been completed, it may not be
n waste of time to learn something
of what il cost to get all these voters
to the polls, Cleaning from both
republican and democratic sources,
1t would appear that it cost in round
numbers about S6 600, 600 to carry ON
the campaign On both sides, saying
nothing of what the prohibitionists
and others put out, This amount
covers only what was disbursed
through official sources, and doesnot
cover the private expenses of candi-
dates, or many Of their local contri-
buttons, and hardly touches the
matter of uniforms, equipments and
other neCcsSlliCS for the city and
country demonstrations through )ut
the states. In the minds OF the peO-
pie unacquaintad with the inside
workings Of politics this vast sum is
classed as "boodle," and Is generally
regarded as n corruption fund"
But this impression ls, in great
measure, unjust, II is estimated
that fully $l,OOOOOO went through
the hands of the National Republi-
can Committee and that fully four
times that amount was handled by
the democratic managers. The
bulk Of the sum was legitimately
expended 10y both sides in hiring
speakers and printing campaign
literature, and with all the funds at
it's command the democratic COM
nlittee at the end of its fight finds
itself about $4,000 In debt $4,000
IL owes for printing, and 1t don't
know whete il is going To get any Of
the money 10 square itself AS said
before, these are National Commit
tee expenses and do not include the
money subscribed To and used by the
local campaign clubs all over the
country.
The democrats, Il is said on good
authority, sent out 5O,OOO,OOO docu-
ments, including all the speeches Of
their free trade congressman, which
were franked from Maine TO Oregon.
