They Must ACCOUNT.

TOPEKA, November TT. S. Attorney J..
w. Ady has begun the most important civil
suit in which the federal government has
been party that has ever been filed in the
United States circuit court. 1t involves sew
erai million dollars. It is here impossible to
estimate the exact amount.
He demands of the Leavenworth Coal
Mining company a full accounting of every
ton of coal mined by them on the military
reservation lands since 1853
In $50 the assistant quartermaster at Fort
LeayenWortb leased the firm of Ewing, Den
man d Co., of IeavenwOrth, the privilege of
mining coal under all the lands owned by
the government at the military reservation.
AS consideration the company agreed to
furnish all the cal required by the govern
ment departments at that place free at the
mouth of the shaft, and TO pay a royalty of i
of a cent per ton for all other coal mined there.
The lease was set aside the ground that
the officer exceeded ms powers.
In 1865 congress passed special act sell
ing twenty acres of the reservation for a
small sum, and confirmed the lease for six
teen years, or until 1884.
Ewing, DenInan Co. afterward became
the LeavenwOrth Coal Mining company.
They have been mining coal under the reser-
walton lands ever since and the output of
their mines has been enormous.
The allegations state that the company has
never made any report to the government,
never furnished coal for the trOODs or gov
eminent offices and never any portion of the
royalty. The United States attorney de-
mands that the value of the coal required by
the government curing that time and the i
cent per ton royalty during the lease be paid
over to the United States, and that the full
value of all coal mined under government
land since its expiration, in 1884, be repaid.
he also asks for an injunction to prevent the
company from continuing the business of
mining during the pending of the suit and
that their books be brought intS court for q
full accounting of all the coal mined.

LEAVENwoRrH, KAN. November L.-Word
was recsiVed in this city that President Har-
rison had granted Charles A. Benson, who
Was to be hanged at tins place Thursday, a
respite Tor three months, ana fixing the Gay
Tor his execution on February 5.
The news came from United States Mar
shai walker, at Topeka. who received it from
washington. The action Of the president IN
the matter Is believed to have been influenced
oy the representations of Benson's attorney
and Rev. DIR. Page. They all wrote strong
and touching letters. raising points in the
manner OF his trial. and setting forth ms
poor and friendless condition. It is believed
that he will be granted q new tr1al, and that
It Will be more sensational than the first.
Inc news OF the pOstpOnement spread rap

When the news was told Benson he almost
went wild with delight and was unable to
express hl1 feelings in the English language.

truth about Mrs. Mettmann's murder. He
says he knows who did kill her. and that he
Was an accessory after it was done. He re-
fused 10 give the name of the person who
committed the crime, but SAD that the per
son was going to see him hung an innocent
man, and now he proposed to tell the truth.
Benson said great deal in a highly excited
manner, and IS evidently preparing to make
a new sensation in connection with this
famous murder.

Easter is able to account for this Won
derful yield is that the ground in his
peach orchard has been covered with
fruit during the past few weeks, on
which the bees worked.
Kansas City, Kan.-The different
packing houses OF this city are working
moro men now than at any time during
the year. Armour's Packing company
is working more than double its usual
number of men. It is working night
and day force on the cattle gang and
killing nearly 1000 head of cattle In
the hog department it is killing from
5000 to 1000 hogs daily. During the
past month it has shipped from sixty TO
seventy-five cars of dressed meat per
lay. Fowler and Swift are crowded
and running night and day forces.
When the latter finish their long drive
way they will then increase their force
nearly 200 men in this one department.
The Kingan packing house and the
Phoenix Packing company are making
big preparations for a large "killing"

KANSAS CRY, Mo, November 6.-The ex-
pected car famine in tins city has every ap-
Pearanee of realty Just now, Occasioned
largely by the heavy rush of grain to the east
several weeks ago. At that time the roads
said there was no famine and that the cut
ting down of the track transit limit of forty
eight hours was done to prevent one. They
all feared that 1t might take place. and early
IN the season adopted resolutions to head it
on.
The situation is growing more pinched
every day, and the fact that New Orleans
lines are IN the worst fix shows how the grain
Is going. 1t is stated that immense auanti-
ties of grain for foreign export by way of
New Orleans have been bought, but the lines
that viii have to handle it are now unable to
md cars Tor the grain already moving. The
Chicago lines are open, and for the present.
al least, have plenty of cars, although the
Wabash, Rock Island and Santa Fe have had
and are now looking for trouble 1 he Alton
has Kept well IN hand, but the officials are in
doubt as to the length of time they can keep
open. This line, although it handles as much
freight as any competitor, does not often get
very far behind IN returning its cars.
The Santa Fe has had a great deal of
trouble on account of the heavy grain move
ment over the line. The Missouri Pacific Is
going through the Same experience. Every
possible effort IS being made to get cars by
the lines IN trouble, but the officials get very
little If any encouragement. The greatest
danger is that the port of New Orleans may
become blOckaded by the heavy grain move
msnt toward it.
Considerable grain is also going by way of
Memphis. and this line could use 900 cars
to good advantage just now. They are actu-
ally short half that number and are working
hard to ease up the situation. Former heavy
shipments to Chicago now take the New Or
leans route. while Savannah and Baltimore
are also IN the export trade. The indications
are that while there has been a smaller
amount of grain moving for some time than
was expected, the next few weeks will mark
the heaviest movement ever known in this
CITY. The chances for famine are growing
stronger every day.

Three hundred police guarded him on the

Timothy Healy, who was horseWhipped by
James MeDermott, Parnell's nephew, was

STOCK AND FARM.


Dodge City Globe Republican: J.
II. Mullendore threshed 226 bushels
of plump red Russian wheat as the
product of ten bushels of wheat.
Barnes Enterprise: Levi Rosebaugh,
who lives about three miles north OF
Barnes, showed us sample of his
wheat of which the grain was as per-
feet as any wheat we ever saw, and the
average yield was 324 bushels per
acre.
Cedar Vale Star: Joe Doolin reports
having threshed 1921 bushels of millet
for A. j. Barrus, from sixteen acres of
ground, and that it was the finest millet
he ever saw threshed. Over twenty
seven bushels of millet seed to the acre
is raised only in southern Kansas.
ToPeka.-Dr. Going state veterina-
rian, was called to the west part of
WyandOtte county, near Edwardsville,
Sunday, to look at some horses which
were supposed to be suffering from
CHAMBERS. Some weeks since horses
owned by Nebraska jockeys were taken
through that part of the county and
number of them traded off to farmers.
The disease is supposed to have been
brought by them, aud before ITS nature
was positively known score OF horses
had become injected. The disease is
unquestionably CHAMBERS, and according
TO the orders OF the veterinarian all the
infected stock was killed.
Wichita Eagle: Ross Brothers, the
commission men, shipped to Kansas
City the first consignment of onion sets
ever shipped out of the county in car
load lots. They were a fine variety
and much better than the usual quality
of commercial onion sets. They were
raised by two farmers of this county,
Messrs. Slough and Orendorff, living
south and west of Wichita respectively
and they are not all the onion sets these
gentlemen have raised by any means.
Mr.. Ross is very enthusiastic over this
new resource and thinks that In a few
years this section of Kansas will furnish
the onion sets for the entire agricultural
west as they are, as before stated, far
ahead of the average commercial vari-
ETY.. Year by year the Sedgwick coun-
-ty farmer is getting to that point whore
he will have everything, almost, to sell
and comparatively little to buy.

ChagrIn at Reciprocity.

NEW YoRK, November 7.-Simon All De
Paulo Caelbo, a well informed Brazilian and
constant correspondent of the most impor-
tant officials at Rio, has the following to say
relative to the troubles in Brazil. "There is
no revolution in Brazil, nor will there be
one. The existing troubles may be traced tc
the English and their chagrin at the treaty Of
reciprocity recently made with the United
States. Ever since President Fonseea signed
the treaty English agents have been bowling
IN the ears of the younger congressman the
great injustice done to Brazil and the vast
sums of money thereby lost. This impelled
the younger congressman to carry on the
fight 10 a dangerous degree. When this be-
came apparent to Fonseca he said to these
congressman, Co. After a new election
everything will quiet down.

One Sensible London Paper.

LONDON, November The Daily Tele-
graph says: ''If the evidence of the sailors
of the United States war ship Baltimore is
true, they were the victims of one of the
foulest outrages ever committed upon IN
armed men in a friendly port With such q
report Secretary Blaine would have failed Of
his duty had he not demanded immediate
explanations We must strenuOusly object
the matter.
"lf the Chilians have conceived the notion
that England, under the circumstances, will
interfere to protect them from the cOnse-
quences of t5eIr own acts, they cannot too
soon or too emphatically be disabused of
their idea It is quite unfair to take the
sharges against Minister Egan as proof and
found upon them an Indictment against
American diplomacy. The voice of England
should be heard, not in the language OF taunt
and menace, but IN advocacy Of cautious
diplomacy and mutual fOrbearance."

such reports as we're received here dnfinp

strengthening of the republican feeling
