it impossible that panic can be brought
about by the failure OF any firm or dozen

BEFORE UNITED STATES COURT.
Papers Served for an Investigation
of the Defunct First National.

Deputy United States Marshal R. A.
Brown today received subpoenas from
the United States district court of
Topeka and served them on Theo
Mosher, formerly cashier of the de-
funct First National bank, to appear
in Topeka on April 22nd. 1t will be
remembered that at the time the bank
failed there we're charges of misman-
agement and the United court grand
jury spent considerable time looking
up the matter, Mr.. Mosher as cashier
bore the brunt of the blame and the
affairs of the bank will be looked
after in this springs term of the
district court, Judge Foster presiding.
George A. Rogers receiver of the bank
was summoned to appear as witness
bringing with him the cash register of
the bank. H. A. Hayes and George
Glendenning are also wanted as wit
nesses. Mr.. Hayes is in Aberdeen,
Wash, and will probably have to come
east.
Marshal Brown also served papers on
John NJ. Mosley, of Dillon, to appear
as witness before the United States
grand jury April Goth, on what case it
is not known.

Failure at Heringten.

Harrington Times: The people of
Herington were never more surprised
in their lives than they were last Fri
day morning when the word went
around that the old reliable firm Of
Mace & Jones had closed their doors
and that the business was temporarily
suspended. On investigation it was
found that things were not in as bad
condition as they were reported to be,
but that an inability to make collec-
tions, connected with a disposition on
the part of a few of their creditors to
require prompt payment of bills, had
foEced them to close their doors and to
suspend opazasiens Cor the time being.

A Stiff Breeze Plays Havoc With
Wooden Awnings, Etc.
About O'Clock last evening the
clouds which had been gathering in the
southwest became boisterous and sent
a hard wind toward the north. The
force of the gale was so grea. as to
threaten much damage for a while but
1t finally died away without doing any
thing more serious than to overturn
sidewalks, break trees and tear down a
few of the old wooden awnings that
remain in the city. The awning on the
Sterl building occupied by Gulick was
completely demolished on the Broad
way side as was that on Third street
at Shane & Emig's. By remarkable
good fortune the plate glass beneath
was not injured in either case.
Among other results Of the storm
was the blowing down Of the old gas
well tower over the last hole sunk in
pursuit of of the things under the
earth and located on the hill northeast
of town. The street cars AID gas well
tower being cleaned up inside Of "A
hours certainly makes pretty good
days record and at that rate the city
will soon be the first in the west.

The colonists at the front will when
joined by the latest contingent number
about 800, more than half being wo-
men and children. There is no regret
expressed at their leaving Kansas, such
of them as come from here, for they
are class of residents who can do
little to build up state. For the most
part visionary and without means,
they will never succeed in their plans
anywhere. They may as we'll expert
ment in the interior of Mexico as any
where. There they can preach anarchy,
union labOrism and all around idiocy
to their hearts content without disturb
ing their neighbOrs or interfering with
the revolution of the planets.

His mOdesty thus far has only allowed

probably do better. The Office will
hereafter be more closely contested in

OFF FOR TEXAS.
After Much Tribulation the Street
Cars Will be Shipped.

After Much Tribulation the Street
Cars Will be Shipped.
The street cars we're loaded this
afternoon for shipment via the Union
Pacific to Taylor, Texas, where they
will be used on the Taylor street rail-
way. An attachment was put on them
by J. II. Mahan this morning but it
would not hold and he finally let them
go. The cars have been partly re-
painted, the word "Abilene" being
obliterated and other signs of former
use covered with red and green paint
so that to the casual observer they will
pass for new cars, manufactured espe-
cially for Taylor and vicinity.
But if anybody thinks those cars
have not had experience he will be
most exceedingly mistaken. Launch
ed as they were in the heyday of the
boom period, they wound their devious
and deserted way through the streets
of Abilene and for a mile into the
cornfelds on the bottoms for three
years. They hauled the festive sucker
when he came to gaze upon the lots fol-
sale in the additions and carried him
again when he rode out to hunt for the
lot stakes among the weeds, They
bore the Raffiensperger excursionists
up the University Heights and trans
ported the base ball lovers over the
same course. They were an ever ready
solace for the business men in bad
weather and were never dangerous
except to the mules which drew them,
one of these occasionally being offered
up as a sacrifice. Altogether they
were a harmless, rather expensive lux
ury and We hope Taylor, Texas, will
have as much amusement with them
as did Abilene.

THE SURVEYORS ARE IN IT.
An Office Which Becomes a Paying
Position.

Position.
The legislature last winter passed an
act affecting theConice of county sur
veyor which makes the heretofore
poorest Office in the county one of the
most lucrative.
The measure is known as house bill
No. pa, and provides that the county
surveyor shall procure maps and plats
of all original United States surveys,
have them bound and keep them in
his Office for the benefit of the public,
and that his Office shall be kept open at
least one day each week, for which he
shall receive the same compensation
allowed for making surveys, which is
81 day.
The attorney general at Topeka ia
receiving some inquiries regarding this
bill from the few surveyors who have
learned of its passage, asking what
construction he places on the bill re-
garding the fees and how much the
Office may be kept open.
These inquiries have been accuma-
lating and on account of the large cor
respOndence of the office have not been
answered.
Assistant Attorney General Clark
says that when these inquiries are ans
Wered the surveyors viii be informed
that while the bill provides that while
the Office must be kept open at least
one day each week, there is nothing in
the act to prevent the surveyor keeping
his Office open six days and drawing
s24 per week.
The surveyors were elected two
years ago and the majority Of them
are republicans, Heretofore the Office
has been supported by fees only and
has been worth only few hundred a
year.

All Ho! All no! FOR MEXICO.
Another Company on the Way to
Topolobampo.


The company of colonists for TopOlo-
bampo which has been gathering at En-
terprise for several days shipped their
freight Saturday and expected to start
themselves today for the faraway land
of the tarantula and bug-infested meal.
The party will be joined by other MEM
bers on the main line of the Santa Fe,
total of 200 being expected. They
go to Guaymas by rail and after
passing the custom house go by water
to Sinsloa. Their final destination is
some 80 miles inland in the same neigh
borhood as the colony that went last
December. The party is reported as
made up almost entirely of poverty
stricken settlers families who have
embarked their all in this financial
scheme for getting rich easily. Their
tools, machinery and household goods
are of the most i'll. conditioned descrip-
ton and the men have little or no
money after buying their tickets. The
company has been gathered by ]. W..
Briedenthal, the Chetopa banker, and
others who have financial interests in
the cooperative scheme entered into
by the colony.
The company which went last fall
in charge of C. B. Hoffman has been
working on the irrigation bitches all
winter and reports the outlook for a
crop this year fairly good. 1t viii be
the first crop in four years. The COM
pany has large grants of land secured
at little expenae but which are worth
less except when irrigated. The men
who went to Topolobampo last fall
have been working on the bitches all
winter and the new party wiz have the
same employment.

Letters received here from the U. 8.
Experimental station at Manhattan
say that if DIR. Scheidtweiler does not
take up beet experimenting here the
Agricultural college will do so and will
furnish seed for the farmers to plant
and test the feasibility of growing
sugar beets successfully in Kansas.
This is a good move and it will be
of much value to the farmers if it can
be shown that sugar beets equal to
those used in the old country and Ne
braska for sugar making can be sue
eessfully grown. The result will Be
that another staple crop will be added
to the farmers resources and that an
other necessary of life viii be made
much cheaper. There will be no lack
of capital to go into the matter If It
can be shown that the beets can Be
grown properly.
