BEATING THE LAW.
How a Sharp Collector Forces
Delinquent Debtors to
Time.

One of the attorneys has discovered
a cute way to collect claims off of en-.
ployes, who although receiving good
wages, have heretofore declined to pay
and took shelter behind the law which
exempts wages from liability
for debts. This collector
after securing a judgement, files an
endemnifying bond and has the consta-
bic to levy upon the wages regardless
of the law. The constable is bound
to act, after a bond to protect him is
filed. The debtors only recourse is to
bring suit upon the bond, but that is
so expensive that in nine eases
out of ten he abaudon's the
job and lets the matter drop.
Of course he could beat the bond and
get judgment, but the measure of dam
ages is only the amount of the debt
30 all the creditor can lose is the re-
payment of the money he collected.
But few men have a hide so thick
that they would ask that. 1t is pref
ty hard to make law that will en-.
able a dishonest debtor to beat his
creditors. The law exempting wages
from liability for debt was passed by
the Missouri legislature at the request
of the noble order of K. of L.

All medical authorizes agree that
ca rrh is no more nor less than an In.
fammation of the lining membrane of the
nasal air passages. Nasal Catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not
diseases of the blood, and it is a serious
mistake to treat them as such. No
conscientious physician ever attempts to
do so. 1t is held by eminent medical men
that sooner or later a specific will be found
for every disease from which humanity
suffers. The facts justify US in assuming
that for catsrrh at least a positive cure
already exists in ElY's Cream Balm.

A BLOODY FIGHT.
Two COlOred Men at Beaman
Fight With an Axe and q
Knife.

Alfred Hunter and Charles Ballen-
ger pair of colored residents of Bea-
man did dreadful work with an axe
and knife, in fight yesterday after
noon, (which BaIlenger plunged .
knife hde. clear to the handle, into
Hunters left cheek and drew it
across his face to the right ear cut
ting an awful cash as deep as the
blade would cut. The wound is prob
ably fatal and Ballenger was brought
here this morning and lodged in Jail
without bail to await the result of his
antagonists injuries.
The pair had quarrel Yesterday
afternoon about some trifing matter
and Hunter became so enraged that
he seized an axe and attacked Ballen.
ger, but the latter succeeded in knock
ing it out of his hands, and then re-
turned the attack with hisspocket knife
which he happened to have in his
hand. Bystanders interfered and
tosk challenger before Justice Mann,
of Beaman, who committed him to
Jail. Ballenger is about "a years of
age and has always been regarded as
q quiet and industrious man. Hun
ter is a quarrelsome old darkey.
Additional information in regard to
Hunters wounds was received here
CHS afternoon. In addition to the
awful cut across his face, there is q
deep cut circleing entirely around his
neck. The muscles and leaders in
the back of the neck are completely
severed, so that he can't hold up his
head. The knife did not cut so deep
in front and did not quite reach the
jugular vein. The wound looks as If
Ballenger had caught his victim and
drawing him down under one arm
and held him while ne tried to cut his
head of. 1t shows viciousness in the
highest coupled with enormous
strength.

A Big Haul.

Wichita, Kss., Nov. 26.-The safe of the
Missouri Pacific depot at Conway Springs,
used by the railroad company and the Pa
cifc express, was broken open last night,

the Citizens bank of Wichita
sent 81 900 in currency to the Citizens
bank of Conway Springs, which it had
been intended to have delivered this morn

some other money held by the express

heard a report, and concluded that about
that time the work was done.

Leavenworth Times; The pres
tige which Kansas has gained by be-
ing foremost in banishing the saloon
from its length and breadth is now
beginning to be felt in the bordering
states. Those who are about to in
vest capital in manufacturing or other
industries much prefer to take their
families where they will be as re-
moved as possible from contact or
even the sight of the debasing infu-
ences of the liquor traffic, and espec-
tally from its influences upon the in
dustrial classes. The State occupies
a central position for supplies Of al
most every commodity which may be
needed in the vast country surround
ing It, and with the assurance of
first class schools and freedom from
so many vices to be encountered else
where, and a climate that has no SUI
perior, it is not strange that many
capitalists are looking to our Kansas
towns and cities for secure and profit
able investments in paying industries.
The unparalleled advancement Of
this state will only be equalled by its
rapid strides in the future

a salt Wei at Kirwin.

There is a movement on foot to or
ganize a stock company in this city
for the purpose of prospecting for
salt. A petition has been circulated
and very generally signed, asking the
Mayor and council to order a special
election for the purpose Of voting
bonds so that the city may subscribe
to the capital stock Of the company.
The company has every needed assur-
ance of success in the undertaking,
for salt Of a good quality has already
been obtained in the well on H @.
Wey's place south Of town, and the
intention is to sink the well still fur
ther until salt is obtained in paying
quantities. This we think viii be
very easy to do, for we have seen a
sample Of the salt, which Mr.. Wey
has on exhibition at his store and is a
good article. The sample was OBJ
tanned by evaporation. Thecompany
proposes to incorporate and 60 to
work as soon as possible. We think
the city will do well to vote bonds and
aid in this commendable and certain
" profitable enterprise
LArER-We learn that the city
council had a meeting last evening
and ordered a special election for
Tuesday, February 26, to vote on the
bond proposition The call for spec
ial election viii be published next
week.-Kirlsin Chez.

We fully agree with our Topeka
correspondent, that the senate, in it's
action fixing the ''age of consent" at
twelve years, is legislating IN the in
teresb and for the protection of Sc
ducers and PROGRESSES. The present
law needs some amendment Proof
that a girl under the age of eighteen
is Of bad repute should prevent a con
victiOn for rape. But even the pres
ent law, defective as it is, Is infinitely
better than the senate measure, re-
ducing the Gage of consent" to twelve
years. We have poor opinion of the
morality, to say nothing of the hui
manIty and manliness of a man who
believes a child of fifteen or sixteen
years is capable of giving consent
AtcbisO7l Champion.
If we understand the action of the
senate, above referred to, the bill that
has passed reduces the ''age of con-
sent to twelve years. We believe
every other state that has Iegislated
on the subject at all, the past six
years, has raised the age. That such
a bill should pass the senate Of Kan
sas is disgraceful, is a shame and an
outrage Let the house now prompt
ly defeat the Ubiquitous bill.
