WILSON wALLoPED.
His General Status in Wallace Very
Clearly Defined.
WALLACE, KAN, Jan. q, 1883

To the Editor of the WESTERN KANSAS worrp:
In reply to Wilson, of the Waliacs
County Register of last week, permit me
to make the following statement, which
he may as well consider final, unless he
pursues the course n,w suggest. Let
him prosecute me for criminal libel. and
will prove the following facts:
That when he went out of the Office Of
Wallace townsi;e treasurer, on January
II, 1887, he was charged by the city
recorder with $3.50, and by his own re-
port with s21S.
That he never paid over to his success
sor one dollar OF this money, and not to
exceed $500 OF the same to any person
authorized by the people.
That no money was ever set aside by
the people of Wallace, while he was treas.
urer, to be used by any committee.
That the money (s2GO was set aside by
the people to be used in congress, and
not in the state legislature. That the
same was done, and the committee ap-
pointed after Wilson went out of Office
and while Oetzel was treasurer.
That Wilson never made to the people
in any committee report OF what became
of the money in his hands when he went
out of Office.
That the county paid him for printing
notices for the incorporation of the city.
and that the people never voted him $500
out Of the town site treasury for printing
notices for hose company meetings.
That the special committee on town
site never paid or authorized the treasurer
to pay any one for going to Topeka, and
that those who went Except Wilson, paid
their own expenses; and further, that no
report Of these expenses was ever made
to the people, or by them approved in the
summer OF 1887, or at any time.
In conclusion, I will prove that Wilson
never worked for me politically; that he
is indebted to me, and not me to him;
and that he was the Pal of Charley
Edwards in every town site scheme from
Water Valley to last falls election, and
that he paid Wilson money for this aid.
In short, viii prove Wilson embezzled
our money.
Now. there is 10 use for Wilson to
abuse 80 or 20 of his neighbors because
they refuse to give him certificate of
character There is no use for him to
whine about suing beggar, etc. He has
criminal remedy, and the state will
defend his character, If he has any, and I
now challenge him to the test. He can
not unload this case by drawing in few
of his good neighbors. They will have
enough to do to attend TO their own bust
ness. Neither can Wilson unload his
own defaication upon any other city
officer or committee.
Finally, We intend to fight It ont on
this line. It's fun for ne and picnic
for Wilson. hope all the good people
OF Wallace viii refrain from any inter
ference with the procession. There is
no danger. Wilson has already con-
cealed his cowardice behind my physical
infrmities. THos D. HAMILTON.

Why the Il. and o. Express Declines to
Pay Local Taxes.
. TIE Baltimore and Ohio Express Com
pany yesterday appealed from the asses
sed valuations of property located at the
foot of Johnston avenue assessed at
$50, 600.
Ey-United States Attorney A. @. Keas-
ley, as counsel for The company. claimed
that the property was mainly located on
land that was exempt from the local tax
alton, as it is assessed by the State Board
as q railroad terminus leased by the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company
The counsellor also claimed that the
assessed valuation of personal property
was placed at too high figure.
President Lawrence. of the Tax Board,
said this morning that this latter claim
would have no weight with the Board, in
asmuch as the company had been notified
to furnish the Commissioners last Au-
gust all desired Information in reference
to the value of the personal property.
The company paid no further attention
to the matter beyond replying to the
Board that they had placed the matter in
the hands of counsel.
Under these circumstances the COM
pany had no redress, said Mr.. Lawrence.
The matter was laid over for one week.

Some of the statements in an article in

cerning the war between the United
States and Prudential Insurance Com
panies are disputed, and investigation
fact.
The statements referred to were on the
authority of Mr. knewo of the Prudential
Insurance Company
1t was alleged that the United States
had entered into an arrangement to
transfer Prudential policies. This is de-
MED by Mr.. John l.. Roberts, who is at
the head of the United States Company.
That company takes the risks of those
who are tempted to stop paying premi-
ums to the Prudential, but that is all it
has to do with its rival.
the temptation comes in the shape of
larger benefits for specific investment,
and in the insurance of babes less than d
year old.
This statement in last Tuesdays article
is conspiciously in exact;
This agreement was broken, it is claimed by
the Prudential people, by the United States re-
fusing to recognize transfer
The case IN question was that of Mrs
Hooper, Of No. ll2 Second street. She
