IN the British House of Commons Mr..
Labouchere moved the abolition of
hereditary representatives in Parlia-

hereditary peers were fatal and in eter-

people would repudiate the idea that
hundreds of men were born with the

UNTERRIFIED KNOeBERS.
Forgetful of the Past They Break Out
Again.


Again.
OZARK, Mo-, March 24-According to
very reliable information just received
from Douglas County the Bald Knobbers
are reviving their late methods of ter
rorism in that locality.
March 4, John Dalton and John K.
Plumb, two prominent citizens of Walls
township, Douglas County, were visited
by an armed band of men claiming to be
Bald Knobbers and ordered to leave the
county March Is. The Knobbers served
on each written notice to leave by the
time specified, threatening the direst
vengeance in the event the order should
not be obeyed. It was dark when the
Knobbers made their call and Dalton
and Plumb could not recognize any of
the band.
On the night of March Samuel
Plumb, who lives in the same neighbor-
hood, received similar visit from the
Bald Knobbers and was warned to leave
the county. AS the raiders were leaving
they fired a volley from their Winches,
ter rifles and revolvers. In the morning
a number of bullet holes were found in
the logs of the building. Had the house
been an ordinary frame building the
bullets would have made a pepper box
of the front wall.
The next outrage committed by the
Knobbers was the burning of the house
belonging to William Murray. near
Ripe Ball. Murray had recently
bought the place, but had only moved
one load of goods into it. House and
goods were burned.
Dalton and the two P1umbs are still
at home, and say they mean to stay and
take the conseq uences of disobeying the
orders of the Knobbers. They are
all men of good nerve, and
will be ready to give the Knob
bers warm reception should the
latter. return to execute the threat
ened vengeance. The whole affair is
creating quite sensation in Douglas
County, and more trouble is appre-
hended. The Bald Knobbers were very
strong in Douglas County when the
reign of terror reached it's climax, near
Chadwick, in the Edens-Green massacre,
but the organization every body sup
posed had been disbanded long ago.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 21.-The reso-

Boards of Trade throughout the State

to admit Mexican ores, which are shipped,
among others, to the Argentine refining

were presented to the Topeka Board

any thing of the kind; that it would be
ruinous to the lead ore interests

PRA,RiEs IN FLAMES

Ten Sections Burned Over Near Wlchfan,
Kan.
WICHITA, Kan, March ga prairie
fire started Saturday night in the neigh
borhood of the Rollins farm, twelve
miles northeast of this city, and rapidly
spread before the high wind that was
blowing from the southeast Yesterday
morning the fire was beyond control and
was burning every thing in its path de-
spite the combined efforts of all the
farmers that could be mustered to fight
the flames.
The grass was about ten inches long
and as dry as finder and burned so rap
idly that the fight was confined to saw
ing farm buildings and not attempting
to stay the spread of the flames.
The house of William Ford, situated
about three miles from where the fire
started, was the first to be burned, and
it, with all the farm buildings, was to-
tally destroyed. From there the fire
travelled westward, spreading to the
north and south, and covering, at six
o'clock last evening, a territory Of ten
sections, in which every vestige of grass
was destroyed, and four farm houses
and the barns, stacks of hay and straw,
and cribs of corn were burned.
NO lives nave Deen lOSJ, ana SO 1ar as
has been learned no livestock was
burned. The country covered by the
fire is thickly settled, and the houses in
the line were only saved by strenuous
exertions of the farmers who plowed
burrows and threw up the dirt around
the buildings to stop the progress of the
fire.
At six o'clock last evening it was esti-
mated that not less than 500, 900 loss
had been suffered and the FIRE was rag
ing with undated fury and was being
driven by wind which was approach
ing gale in intensity. There are many
fine farms to the west of the line of the
fire and much uneasiness is felt over the
casualty. Water is very scarce, and, I'M
less rain comes soon, the fire will make
a clean sweep to the Colorado line. All
the livestock in the threatened section
has been removed from the path of the
fire and back fires are being started all
along the line in the hope of staying the
flames.
