streets of Wichita daily, some days in con-
siderable numbers Everything shows

to get an understanding of Wichita
several of them to comprehend the town
and the advantageous environments which
have not only sustained her through
discouraging period but which are bound
to make her the great inland city of the
central states. The weather for tnis season
of the year is excessively hot and rain is
badly needed, but this great valley and it's
Peerless Princess under any and all condi-
tions never fails of attracting and inter-
esting the unprejudiced stranger.

DoDnelly's 100000 Dwfndle to 81 and
So Attorneys Fees.
Damages to the amount of 81 and s.
attorneys fees was the verdict in favor
of lgnatius Donnelly in his libel suit
against the Pioneer Press brought in
by the jury at Minneapolis on the
9th. The trial has been probably
the most famous in legal annals
in the Northwest, and, owing to
the prominence of the plaintiff and the
matters involved, attracted the greatest
interest. Ignatius Donnellv, the fa-
nous author and former member of Con-
oress, a leader in the Farmers Alliance,
and prominently mentioned for the
presidential nomination of that party,
sued the Pioneer Press for $1,000
actual damages on account of the re-
publication on February l6, 1891, of a
letter from Col. w. S. King, formerly
postmaster of the House of Represent
atIves, and man of national repu-
tation, which letter had been first
published in the Pioneer Press eleven
years previously. 1t was on az
made in that letter that Mr.. Donnelly
its defense was at great disadvantage,
as all the events alleged in the letter
happened during and prior to the ses-
sion of Congress closing in 1869, and
with the exceptions of Col. W. :. King
and c. 2. Huntington, of the Southern
Pacific Railway, no one was alive who
could assist the Pioneer Press in its plea
of Justification. The jury was out three
hours, and at one stagestood / to l in
favor of the Pioneer Press. but in view
of the fact that one instance of alleged
bribery in Congress could not he proved,
owing to the death of the witness, they
returned the verdict stated, making the
damages purely nominal.
