Aulpjunetion Threatened.

Since the location of the city dump
boat just west of the foot of Seventeenth
street. complaint has been frequently
made that the location of the boat there
had created a public nuisance. Mayor
McConochie and Health Commissioner
EYster investigated the matter. and final
ly decided that the objections were not
sufficient to cause a removal of the boat.
Today, however, Maj. j. Nj. BeardsleY
was retained by Capt. Geo. Lamont. of
the Diamond 10 line, to seek recourse at
law. and an Injunction against the city is

PEORIA'S NEW MOTOR.

| The Peoria journal says that while
Manager Wiley, of the Sylvan Park line
of that city was in Chicago lately, he saw
a cut of the new motor Car to be used on
the FIT. Clark railway there, and also the
working model, and further;
Mr., Pennock. the inventor, expects to
be here next week, and when he comes
he will remain here six weeks. II is
hardly probable that the Car will be ready
to accompany him, but he will look over
the road bed and make arrangements for
trial trip to be made as soon as possible
BILE. All of the other electric companies
are working against this system, as il
bids fair to revolutionize electric railway
traffic. 1t is expected that people will be
here from all over the United States to
look at this new process of street Car pro-
pulsion. The managers of the cable and
other roads in Chicago have sig
nified their intention to come
here. The mayor and part of the coun-
Gil of Beaver, Pa, will also come. A
street car company in that city asked
for charter for an overhead line. but
the council refused to grant it. If this
should prove a success Beaver will IN
doubtedly adopt the Pennock system.
The first Car TO be put in motion will
have fifteen horse power motor, and
Mr. Pennock thinks that this will be
little better than two small mules.
Chicago parties are very anxious that
trial trip should be made in that city,
but as Captain Hall was the first one to
enter Mrs Pennocks worship after the
patent was issued and made contract
for Peoria county with him, Mr.. PEN
mock will not go back on his agreement.
Peoria will. therefore, be the first city
to witness street car propelled by
galvanc electricity.

To Whom it May Concern.

1t has been brought to our notice
several times that we have refused to
sell John Deere goods and other goods
to those belonging to the farmers alli-
ance; whether this wilful and premed.
itated Misrepresentation is made to
mislead the members of the alliance
and others, or to do us personal in
jury we know not. We are sorry any
Individual would take this means to
advance his own interests, OR suppose
it would advance the interest of the
alliance, for we know the alliance do
not uphold lies, fraud, or chicanery of
any kind. We simply state it is un-
true. We are here to sell goods to all j,
and always endeavor to give the best
goods at bottom prices. We antagon-
ize no individual, competitor, alliance,
or association of any kind. We wish
them all to do we'll, and to advance
their own interest to their greatest
possible good. We say now, as we
always have said, if you have any
grievance to make or correction to be
made, come and see us, you will
always find US willing to do right. We
have been in business here fourteen
years and we defy any person to show

one cent. Respectfully,

None for Kansas.

MIR. M. 81. Judd, well posted rail-
road man, who was IN the city last
Thursday to file with the register of
deeds a release signed by j. Gould
and Russell Sage, releasing all lands of
the q. P. grant in this county, sold or
contracted for before the last mortgage
on the grant, had some interesting
things to say about Kansas and her
present condition. Mr.. Judd is doing
business through all the western states.
and travelling as he does all the time
has good opportunity to make obser-
vations, He says there is now wond-
erful lot Of people coming west; the
trains are daily loaded with them; but
they do not stop in Kansas. When
asked why, the answer invariably is:
eve don't like Kansas cranky laws"
or 1--WE have heard of Kansas pro-
hibition, and we want none OF it In
ourn." They are going to Nebraska,
to Colorado, to Nevada, to Washing
ton-thousands of them are passing
through our state daily seeking homes
but none are stopping in Kansas. He
was at first surprised that Kansas,
with all her wonderful resources
did not get her share; but
after he had taken the pains to
enquire into the reason therefor he
could not blame them. He expressed
his opinion that Kansas was far ahead
of any of the states named, in point OF
good agricultural resources, and
thought that our people ought to open
their eyes just little bit and see the
true situation. TO illustrate the
difference in the real estate business
being done in Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, he said that in all the
counties he had visited in Kansas the
register of deeds could Immediately
record his instruments and give him
the pages of record, while in the other
states ,heir work had been so great
that it took them two months to
give him the record pages. Verify,
Kansas is asleep. But we believe there
is an awakening time near at hand.

Republican Resubmission Meeting.

The meeting, Friday night. was
attended by about half a house full OF
people, but those who were there, witt
the exception of one or two prohlb-
repubs who tried by contln-
ual talking to disturb the meet
ing, all gave close attention te
the speakers. Probate Judge Ogle was
made chairman and w. w. Hartley
secretary of the meeting. Mr.. Ogle
stated that il was the sentiment of a
large majority of Barton county voters
that they ''must and will have another
vote'' on the prohibition question.
Mr.. Arnold, of Wichita was intro
duced to the audience, and made a
short address, disclosing some of the
evil effects of prohibition in plain and
undeniable language. He said the
people of Kansas would show barn.
yard Kelley and Humphrey" that
resubmission would come or off would
go their official heads.
w: r. Payne, one of the bright young
lawyers of Wichita, then addressed the
meeting in an eloquent manner, and
made many points against the fashion
the old line republican wire-workers
have of telling the people what the
people want. He was the best speaker
of the evening, and the way he stirred
up his party brethren who are wont to
be prohibitionists for party policy only
was pleasing to the few democrats who
were present. Mr.. Payne announced
that Senator Bentley was unavoidably
kept at home on business, but would
make 1t a point to address Great
Bend audience in the near future.
D. A. Banta. of this city made a few
pointed remarks before the close of the
meeting, and pledged himself tt
work long and hard for the repeal fol
the prohibitory law.

Another Farmer (?) Letter.

Another Farmer ~ Letter.
Farmer writes a letter to the
Register last week in which he says the
''would-be leaders of the alliance, with
unparalleled demagoguery are trying to
pervert the alliance from its true and
legitimate course to accomplish their
own selfish purposes" He, she, or it
the ''farmer''-goes on to say that he
don't see why the presidents of the
alliance can justify their resolutions
condemning ingalls,. 1t would be
interesting to know the real identity
of Farmer" Perhaps he is Ger
man Farmer" who wrote the famous
letter to the Register last fall, and then
returned into ''inocuous desuetude, !"
though we doubt it. Most farmers in
this county are plain spoken and not
ashamed to sign their names to their
sentiments thus publicly expressed.
Farmers" letter sounds so much
like the line of argument of the post
Office adjunct that people are naturally
led to believe there Is an object in
Farmer" concealing his real name.
We would like to refer Farmer" land
all our readers) to the article from the
Kansas Fdrnaer-published in the
DEMOCRAT two weeks ago and in the
Register last week, especially to this
part of it:
IAN open enemy is a manly man,
after all. 1t is the secret enemy We
are after the man who sings while
he steals. The man for example, who
Joins the alliance in order to betray its
membership and lead them into an
enemy's camp is a traitor as well as an
enemy, and he is dangerous charac-
ter-one to be shuned as well as
despised. Watch him."

are after this year; the enemy who

Bro. CARAwAY SAYS the republican

Bro. CARAwAY says the republican
congress is reducing the surplus by
spending $4,000 to pay off the def
cheney of one of the democratic officers
(SilcOtt) who absconded with that
amount of government funds" That
is about as near the truth as our neigh
Dor could guess, probably, for he GER
tainly did not mean tosstate that the
money which the republican congress
men put in Silcott's hands for safe
keeping, and with which he deeamped
for cooler chimes, was government
money.'' Caraway is to old and case
hardend a republican ringmaster to
make that kind of an assertion on
historical knowledge of the case. The
republican congress did, however,
reduced the surplus that much by
voting an appropriation to themselves.
No one denies that. That is just the
kind of legislation they have been
giving US the last twenty years or
more.
