BLACK CAPS.
They Warn Two Missourians OFF Boy
COtted Farms.


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 2l.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. "A special from Osborn,
DeKalb county, Mo, thirty miles east OF St.
Joseph, says that last night about II o'clock
a band of men supposed 10 number $50, and
wearing black masks, rode up to the door of
respectable farmer named Edward Sprague
After rousing the household they rode away,
and Mr.. Sprague found a notice written
in red ink on foolscap, giving him warning
before the 10th of March next, or he would
be dealt with accordingly to the rules Of the
I. o. o. b. G. Independent Order of
Black Caps. The notice was duly signed
"Black Caps" and the conclud-
ing warning was to the effect
that if Mr.. Sprague wasn't absent on
the date given they would call prepared to
move him. Later the same night similar
and, or the same one, called upon Wood
farmers and members of the community,
and gave them verbal notice to leave within
twenty days. Mr.. Lamb was in town to-day,
and has already packed up his chattels, ready
to move. The cause given by the Black
Caps for their action was dislike of the
owners of the farms from whom the warned
men rented. They stated further that
no families would be allowed
to live on the said farms ''untll justice was
done.n Mr.. w. Homer Brown, postmaster
at Stewartsville, saw them pass through that
He did not think there were more than ff-
teen in the party. The community is in a
terrible state of excitement, and the three
men who We're visited have repeated the
story until the number OF night riders have
grown from the original $50 10 800 or 400

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 2L-l Special Telegram
to THE BEE, Attorney General Kellogg
to-day listened toAn application for permis-
sion to commence in the supreme court, in
the name of the btate, in the relation of the
attorney general, proceedings in the nature
of a mandamus I'd compel the county officials
of Grant county 70 remove their offices from
Ulysses to Appomatax. At the election held
to decide upon permanent county seat for
Grant county, Ulysses received majority Of
all the votes cast and was declared
the winner of the prize. 1t is now claimed
that there was good deal of fraud about the
election. and that II AppomatOx had fair
votes" cast she had a majority II is charged
that over two hundred votes were cast which
were not legal, aad that names of men who
have been dead several years, and others
who have left the state were found upon the
poll books. There are fears Of another
county seat war over the matter.

THE AGREEMENT ADOPTED.
No More Time TO he Wasted on the
Dissenting Roads

CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.--The proposition to per-
feet the organization of the interstate com.
merce railway association with the lines that
have signed the presidents agreement, IN
stead of laboring further with the compan-
les refusing to sign, was carried out
to-day ana the association is now a
fact. The Wisconsin Central for some un-
known reason changed front and signed to-
day. The Burlington s. Northern gave its
final answer to the effect that it
could not become member un-
less its northern and principal competitors
on seaport traffic were also taken in. The
committee on changes in the agreement
made no alterations except to strike out the
provso in regard to the number of sigma
lures necessary, and recommended that the
agreement be adopted
An animated discussion followed, in which
President Adams, of the Union Pacific
sharply criticised the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul, which was holding back, and
also the Burlington 81 Northern. He
introduced resolution that the
movement be then and there
abandoned, as it had been found impossible
to carry it to a success owing to the obstruc-
tiUns placed in the way by the two roads
named. This caused a sensation, and Presi-
dent Miller, of the st. Paul, sharply retorted.
After further discussion Mr.. Adams with
drew the resolution and apologzed to Miller.
were finally brought into line, and the fol-
lowing named companies signed the agree
ment, with the understanding that it pc
comes effective Immediately: Chicago &
Alton, Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington &

not in the agreement are the Illinois Central,
Chicago, Burlington 81 Northern, Kansas
City, Fort Scott Il Memphis and Missouri.
Kansas x Texas.
The details of the agreement were COM
petcd this evening. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with Interstate Commerce
Commission Walker and ascertain if he will
accept the chairmanship Skeptcs look upon
the final action of the presidents as some
thing OF farce, and contend that the associ-
alton will be of no practical value with sew
eral important roads omitted. The presi-
dents talk differently, however.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY

stated Indebtedness of the city to-day
amounts to 81, 800 1901 a year ago the debt
amounted to only S9O0,0O0 in round numbers,
but a large part of that sum was added last
year through extensive public improvements
The stated deDt thus has been increased in
one years time by 100000. But this does
not tell the whole story. for there are claims
outstanding for large sums of money which
must be paid, but which are purposely held
back and postponed in order to enable the
city to make better showing than the facts
warrant. Just what the amount of such bills
may be cannot be definitely stated, but it is
known TO be immense. The legal limit Of in
debtedness has long since been passed, and
vet warrants and other forms of Indebtedness
have been converted into bonds freely
since the limit was exceeded The
outstanding warrants on the general
fund represent an overdraft thereon of over
$lOO, 900, and when pending and postponed
bills are paid the overdraft must be increased
by from $4,000 to 100000. The city banks
some time ago. agreed to MAINTAIN the war
rants at par-reCeiving Il rate of interest
amounting to II per cent-on condition that
the city expense should be held below a GER
tain limit. That limit IL is now discovered,
has been immensely exceeded. This IS all in
anticipation of the revenue for the current
year, and the result is that the city will be-
gin its next fiscal year with an enormous
debt, a treasury bankrupt and facing the
necessity OF being heavy borrower in spite
of the fact that its legal limit Of Indebtedness
is already greatly exceeded.

Crestou Notes,

CREsToN, Feb. 2l.--lSpecia Telegram to
The BEE. l-George w. Allen, wealthy
stock dealer of Hamburg, Ia, while looking
after his stock cars in the "Qn yards late
last night, was run over by switch engine
and instantly killed.
City Clerk Collins has commenced action
against the Daily Gazette for libel for repub-
fishing an article from the Commonwealth
rejecting on his business methods. Estl-
mated damage, $1,000.
w. q. Brown, superintendent of the "Qn
line in Iowa, in a letter to this evenings
Gazette, denies in positive terms the charges
made that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
is diverting through freight from Iowa to
Missouri lines, as a retaliatory measure, and
that not single car had been thus diverted
The article says the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad has accepted the rates as
fixed by the commissioners ard passed upon
by the courts in absolute good faith Know
ing that the rates are ,unreasonably low, and
realizing that the same rates applied TO ali
ITS business in the different states traversed
by the road would result IN the destruction
of the property, still it has accepted them in
good faith and in the hope that the fairness
of the request for something better will be
recognized by the commissioners and a re
adjustment of the schedule made, under
which they can do business at a reasonable
profit

The Eastern Deanery.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Feb. 2l.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE The second convocatian
of the eastern deanery of the Iowa diocese of
the Episcopal church, which began its ses-
sion last evening" finishes its business this
afternoon. 1t was decided that in the pro-
ceedings hereafter there shall be one essay,
one sermon and book work. Addresses
were made by Bishop Perry and Rev. S. N.
Watson, the rural dean of the eastern dean
cry. Plans for mission work were discussed.
1t was decided to approach the central
with proposition to unite in the appoint
ment of missionary for service at stations
along the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
citc railroad between Davenport and
Des Moines, with headquarters prob
ably at Iowa City. 1t resolved to
raise $500 in the eastern deanery for this pur-
pose and $3.50 for general work, and to ask
the central dcanery to do the same. This
would afford stipend of 81, 200 for the mis-
sionary and pay his expenses
The question of a change of name from
the dcanery to the arcbdeancry was resolved
upon subject to the approval OF the diocesan

The Next Housc Repubiican.

WAsnINGToN, Feb. 21.-up to date all but
about fifteen certificates of membe rs-elect TO
the next house have been received by General
Clark, clerk of the house. Among those
lacking are the certificates of two represen-
tatves from West Virginia and one from
Tennessee. In regard TO the case of West
Virginia memberselect General Clark said
that now the senatorial contest was over he
believed the certificates for the representa-
tiyes would soon be made out. Regarding
the Tennessee case, General Clark said it
would not be proper for him TO express an
opinion, us the case might come before him
for decision between the two sets of certih-
Gates. Assuming that Evans of Tennessee,
(rep) will receive sufficient certificate, the
clerk figures hat the republicans will have
164 and the democrats 150 members at the
organization of the next house, not counting
the West Virginia members. The admission Of
the Dakotas, Washington and Montana will
increase this majority,

THEIR LAST HOPE HAS FLED.
Cleveland Vetoes the Bill for the Re-
lief of the Iowa Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The president to-
day returned to congress without his APP
proval the house bill to determine the title of
settlers on the Des Moines river lands, in
Iowa. The president says: "One result of
this legislation, If consummated, should be to
restore to the United States, as part of the
public domain, the lands which more than
twenty-five years ago the government ex-
pressly granted and surrendered, and which
repeated decisions of the supreme court
have judged to belong to this sec
tion of the government, 1T is by no
means certain that this proposed legislation
relating to subject peculiarly within the iu-
dicial function, and which attempts TO dis
turb rights and interests thoroughly en-
trenched in the solemn adjudcations of our
courts, would be upheld. In any event, it
seems TO me that it is an improper exercise
of legislative power, an interference with
the determinations of the coordinate branch
of the government and the arbitrary annu-
ment of a public grant made more than
twenty years ago-an attempted destruc
tion of vested rights and threatened impair
ment of lawful contracts.
