names on the list.
The following are the figures:
Totals

The registration last spring was
about l 200 and for the whole of 1888
less than 200. Thus it will be seen
that an unusually great interest is
being taken in the present contest. Of
course considerably of the increase is
due to the growth of the city during
the year SO that the large figures do not
entirely depend oD the interest taken.
On the other hand 416 women have
registered this year as against 1873 last
spring. This indicates a widespread
movement on the part of the ladies and
shows that they will have considerable
voice i'll the result. About one-third of
the voters will be women and as they will
have some very decided views as to the
necessary qualifications of voters in re-
gard to temperance and morality there
is little doubt but they will accomplish
nearly whatever they undertake.

Small Pox Decreasing.

James Adams, who was sent by the
county commissioners to Aida to
nurse the small pox patients, returned
last evening. He reports that the
afflicted ones are getting well rapidly
and may be considered as out of dan
ger. There have been eight cases, all
in one family; the father died and the
children were very ill, but unless there
is some outbreak in the next ten days
the spread of the disease is entirely
STOPPED. The patients have been
thoroughly quarantined and will re-
main so for two weeks yet. Mr..
Adams returns tomorrow to renovate
the premises and remain until all dam
ger is past.

grain dealers in this city, as they will
thus be enabled to use the Santa Fe
lines for shipment when they so desire,
although they may be located on the
U. 2. track or its switches.
There is an opinion prevalent in a
good many sections of the state that
the board of railroad commissioners is
a good deal of luxury but Abilene
has not found it so. The above ruling
is the second rendered during the past
few months which has greatly benefited
the grain dealers and steck-shippers at
this point and so indirectly the whole
community.

MUST TRANSFER CARS.
The Railroad Commissioners Decide
That the Union Pacific Shall Switch
Cars to the Santa Fe Track in This

Cars to the Santa Fe Track in This
City.
The disagreement between the Santa
Fe and Union Pacific companies over
the transfer of freight over the switch
connecting their lines at this place has
been formally decided by the railroad
commissioners in favor of the former
road. The decision is an important
one owing to the fact that the question
decided is declared to be purely a legal
one, and that the ruling effects not
only the lines engaged in the contro-
versy, but all railway lines operating
in Kansas.
The board in their decision made
public Saturday say:
On January 90, 1889, complaint was
made by the AtchisOn company to the
effect that the Union Pacific Railway
company, whose tracks were connected
with those of the former company at
Abilene, refuses to receive and trans
port the empty and loaded cars furn-
ished by the AtchisOn company, at the
said city of Abilene on the line of re-
spondent's railway to be loaded or dis
charged, or reloaded and returned to
the said AtchisOn road, and neglects
and refuses upon demand to place
empty cars of said Atchison company
to elevators, mills and warehouses
located upon the tracks of the said
Union Pacific railway at the said city
of Abilene, to be loaded and returned
to said Atchison company for ship
ment. The complaint further specifies
| instances of such refusal and asks re-
dress.
! The question to be decided by US is
purely a legal one, and it is, whether
one railroad company can require this
character of service from another upon
reasonable compensation therefor.
This being the case we cannot enter
into a discussion of the matter from
the standpoint of convenience or fair
ness. 1t would be no difficult matter
to decide upon the fairness of a posi-
ton in which one road should be re-
QulIcu w tuC uOC VI ITO
for handling freights at stations along
its line with another company that
possessed no facilities of its own, as to
such portion of the transportation bus
mess at the point that was directly
competitive.
The board is of the opinion and so
decide that it is the duty of respondent
company to receive from the complain
ant company over the connecting
switch at Abilene loaded or empty cars
to be delivered at any elevator, mill,
warehouse or other place of business
situated upon its tracks at Abilene to
be unloaded or loaded. and to return
such cars, either loaded or empty, in
like manner to such company. 1t de-
wolves upon the board, unless the par
ties agree, to fix the compensation for
this class of service. AS the question
of amount was not raised and no evil
dence was introduced respecting the
cost of the service, nor what would be
a reasonable charge for the same, and
unless it becomes necessary to do so we
shall refrain from making any order in
respect to that matter.
The result of the matter will be
gladly received by the millers and

TOWN SITE TROUBLE.
M. D. Herington VS. T. C. Henry
The Dispute over the Town Site of
Herington.

The Dispute over the Town Site of
Herington.
There was entered in the United
States circuit court at Topeka Satur-
day suit by M. d. Harrington of this
county against T. c. Henry, of Denver,
to enjoin him from interfering with or
setting up any claim to the property
embraced in the town site of Herring
ton.
According to the plaintiffs petition.
he and Henry were joint owners of
over 1000 acres of land purchased in
1888, in the name of Eerington, from
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
way. 1t is claimed that Henry sold a
portion of the land TO a syndicate and
gave Harrington an advance of 40c per
acre on the purchase price on the land,
Withholding from him (HeriHgton) all
information as to the organization of
the syndicate. They also owned
among others tract of 400 adjoining
the ranch. About that time the To-
peka, Salina and Western Railway
Company was organized, with Mr..
Henry as director. They projected a
line from Topeka to Salina, via Coun-
Gil Grove, and it being Herington's
wish that the line traverse his property
and for consideration Henry agreed
to use his influence as director to
that end. In that event the 400-acre
tract was to be plated into a town
site. A contract was entered into by
the two men, Herington not yet know
ing about the sale to the syndicate. 1t
went on till the railway company
failed, and Henry moved all his inter-
ests to Denver, Harrington buying his
joint interests in the land.
In 1884 the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company purchased the right of way of
the Topeka, Salina and Western Rail-
way and built part of the line as
originally intended, through Herring
toms land, he giving them land of great
value and money to total of over
Sc, 900. A town was built and named
Harrington, many lots were given away
and much money expended in local en-
terprises, among other sums 81 900 as
aid the churches. With all the efforts
and expenditures, the town of Herring
ton was stagnated and practically
worthless, lots hanging on the market
at $14 each. However, when the Rock
Island company constructed its line
through its limits, az almost unpre-
coded boom developed, and lots went
up to $500 and $1,000 apiece. Mr..
Harrington gave the railway company
ten miles free right of way, worth s14,-
600, eighty acres of land, eight miles
of right of way in Morris county,
grounds for depot, division shops and
round house, and in addition
expended about 100000 in money in
building up the town and inducing the
location of various establishments
there. The ranch of six years ago is
now a town of 1000 people, and the
property formerly owned by Harrington
and Henry together has grown to such
value that Henry brought suit against
Herington for s25, 900 as his (Henry's)
interest in the original town site. This
suit is still pending, and the proceed
ings commenced Saturday are to offset
Henry's alleged interest.
