TIE e1LRERr CASE.

An interesting suit came before Judge
Reed at the district court this week, in
which Mckee is plaintiff and the Wichita
and Western Railway company are de-
PENDANTS. IL was an action for the re-
eovery of possession OF tract of real
estate in this city. Judge Reed rendered
decision on Saturday that viii be Of
great interest to property owners, and
especially TO persons owning property, the
title to which is affected by the will of ID.
w. Gilbert
D. w. Gilbert lived in Ohio where he
owned real and personal property at the
time of making his will He also
at the same time owned real
estate in Kansas. Mr.. Gilbert made
his will in Ohio, where it was
executed and probated, and in it devised
all his real estate to his legal and rightful
heirs at law"
The plaintiff in the action coDten del
that the will should be construed accord
ing to the laws of Kansas aud that the
father and mother of d. W. Gilbert should
take the real estate under the will as the
illegal and rightful' heirs of ID. W. Gil
bert. The defendants contended that the
will should be construed according TO the
laws of Ohio, and that the brothers and
sisters of ID. W. Gilbert should take the
real estate under the will The case in
wolves considerable property and will be
appealed to the supreme court.

A NEW INVENTION.
Mr.. Harvey Burson Has Patented An lnVer
tion That VIII RevOlutioniZe Mining.


Harvey Burson OF this city has invented
and secured patent for machine which
bids fair to revolutionize the mining sys-
tenn now in vogue in this country.
The object OF the invention is to provide
machine adapted to be operated at a
mine, for the purpose OF crushing ores
sufficiently so the valuable metals or
particles thereof may be separated from
the valueless particles to render it un-
necessary to transport from the mine the
valueless particles of the ore, and thereby
cheaper the transportation of the valuable
particles, by reason of their being separated
from the valueless particles, and hence re-
duced in bulk and weight.
The machine is not yet finished, but
it will be in less than a month. Its prln-
cipal feature is a circular travelling crush
ing bed, which is arranged to receive the
ore from the chute of hopper, carry 1t
about under crushing-rolls, made with
bevelled faces corresponding with the bev-
elled face of the bed, and which rollers
are yieldingIy held down to their work
upon the bed Also in which water Is
used to wash the ore during the process of
crushing.
1t would be impossible for any
one who is not a skilled machinist
to properly describe the various parts Of
the machine, but anyone can readily see
that it is a machine that Will do the work
which is claimed for it. Machinists and
particularly those who are versed in
mining machinery say it is a great thing
and that it will unquestionAbly be used
far and wide in the mining districts OF the
world for it Will not exceed one-tenth the
cost of machines now in use for doing
the same kind of work, and Mr.. Burson
claims it will do it better 1t
will, if it does the work that it is claimed
it can do, be great boon to owners
of mines whose quality of ore is cheap.
Under the present system OF mining
machinery, it costs from $50 to $50 TO sepa-
rate the ores, while with this machine ore
valued at $50, or even $50 ton, can be
mined at big profit. Mr. Burson is a
mine owner himself, but the quality Of the
ore taken from his mines does not exceed
in value $50 ton and under the present
system of machinery, the ore is not worth
more than an equal amount of common
rock. It was this condition of things that
prompted him to indulge in experiment
ing. and again it is demonstrated that
necessity is the mother Of invention.

WICHITA AND KANSAS CITY.
The Views OF Writer as to the Future Grain
Mart or Kansas.

The Topeka correspondent of the Leav-
enworth Times is blessed with level head
in that he discerns from his standpoint
just what the Wichita Board of Trade
has been quietly bending their energies to
for some time. The writer to the Times
under the head ''The Future Grain Mart. I"
says of the Wichita situation. and he
covers the situation thoroughly:
There being four great deep water ports
on the Gulf of Mexico. New Orleans, We
lasco, Mobile and Galveston, there is no
longer any reason why the wheat district
of Central Kansas should any longer pay
toll at Kansas City for the privilege of
sending wheat on long haul to the At
lantic ports. The gradual increase of the
flow of wheat southwark, taking advan-
tage of the saving of 600 miles railway
mileage, and the consequent enhanced
value of the grain to the producer, calls
for a new wheat mart on the southern
border of the state. If the enterpris ng
business men of Wichita are fully awake
to the new situation, they will soon be
able TO handle every grain of wheat and
corn for export, and thus fix prices that
will benefit all Kansas.
Wichita, being in the heart of the wheat
country, and on the two great lines of rail-
way that now reach TO the gulf, is the
natural gateway for trade that in the
early days was necessarily diverted to the
mouth Of the Kaw The changed situa-
tion, however, calls for new and different
facilities. Three or four great elevators
at Wichita, with a just and equitable
system of inspection and grading,
under state laws, would soon take
every bushel of Kansas export wheat
to that city, and make of it what Kansas
City has never been, benefactor to the
great producing class of Kansas. Taking
advantage of the nearness of the gulf,
wheat should be worth 3 cents more
bushel in Wichita than it is in Kansas
City, for reasons apparent TO all
The export cattle trade should also be
controlled at that point, but this revolu-
tion in shipping will hardly come about so
soon. 1t is to the interest of kansans to
stand by the Wichita business men in
efforts to change to the southwark the
flow of wheat, an interest that will effect
advantageously every pocketbook and
bank account of even the smallest farmer
in the state The manufacturing cities of
Kansas will heartily greet Wichita as the
great commercial city of the west.

At $50 last night the fire bell sounded
the alarm of fire and thousand hearts
beat faster for it was a dreadful night for
a fire owing to the high wind. Scores OF
people rushed to the hose houses and
central had all she could do answering
inquiries as to where the fire was, its de-
mensions etc The department responded
with usual promptness and everybody had
pity for the poor fellows whose duty call
ed them forth into the wind and darkness
of the night. The blaze was in a small
house in tue rear of the Oak street hotel
and fortunately was prevented from
spreading as the fire boys put forth their
mightiest efforts to extinguish the flames
before they could spread for if 1T did
spread to other buildings it would be
impossible to estimate the ruin
that would insure as the wind was
alarmingly high. The house contained a
family and the fire companies not only
saved adjoining buildings bnt saved the
clothing and furniture Of the OF the
building. The cause of the fire was un-
known but it is supposed it caught from a
detected fue. The building WAS scorched
pretty badly.

A NEW APPLICATION TO ART.

In F. p. Martins show-window is a
splendid portrait of NJ. NJ. Murdock, ed
itor of the EAGLE. 1t is keen, penetrating
and so life-like you don't have to prod it
with a pin to see if the subject were alive.
It is vivacious and alert, just as NJ rsh
appears when he has made a cast for
black bass, or answering delegation ask
ing him to ran for governor.-The Arrow.
The portrait is the work of Professor
johnson, whose studio is in the Butler
block, room No. g. The work is new
process of his own invention, it is said, re-
sembling, in some respects, a photo
graph tinted with Transparent oils,
aud is produced by the application Of
electricity to an air brush. There
is life-ikeness which is seldom seen
in any portrait work and is therefore
a triumph over pastel, crayon aud even
oil. The work has but TO be seen to be
appreciated. But for definite information
Professor johnson must be seen himself.

TO MEET INCREASED BUSINESS.

c. W. Stockton, superintendent of the
Wells-Fargo Express company at Kansas
City, was in the city yesterday figuring
with contractors for the construction OF
an express warehouse between the Union
depot and the general freight depot. The
building will be constructed Of metal in
imitation of pressed brick and will be 24x32
feet in dimensions. The increasing busi-
ness of the company in this city demanded
this building, and it will be Of great ad-
vantage to the patrons Of the express COM
pany, as 1t will enable them TO get their
express matter more promptly than
ever before. Heretofore the express
had TO be carried to the
uptown Office and delivered from there
while under the contemplated arrange
ments it will be delivered direct from the
depot, and as quickly as possible after the
train which brings 1t arrives. Mr.. Stock
ton says that the express business In
Wichita has increased 40 per cent. this
fall, which is unimpeachable proof that
the business Of Wichita has increased that
much. He says that at no other city in
the west has the business of the company
increased as much as at Wichita.

A VICIOUS STORM.

The elements were 10 a vicious humor
last night. About O'Clock strong gale
of wind began TO blow and the firmament
looked dark, murky and threatning. Old
papers resurected from the most obscure
hooks and corners OF the city; the dying
leaves of the trees few before the gale and
all mingled in wild confusion in the
windy "whirly gigs" that formed wherever
there was an open space. Signs ereaked
on their rusty hinges; doors slammed;
buildings shook, awnings faDped and
swelled and heaved aud every man who
was out doors had TO walk with his eyes
shut TO avoid having his blooming eye
sockets made a refuge for dust and sand.
1t was adreadful evening and every woman
who was down town shopping made bee
line for home with q speed almost equal
to the gale tnat WAS blowing, stopping
only on a convenient corner or vacant
stairway 20 re-arrange their basques aud
founces. The wind moderated q short
while before y O'Clock and then the snow.
''the beautiful snow" began 20 FL In large
fakes until the ground was white- 1t
