large number of people called on the
Board Of Works, at the session, yesterday
morning, to look after matters of a minor
nature. A delegation OF South-siders called
to protest against any alterations in the
viaduct structure. The board told the dele

being erected over Pogue's run The bridge
is almost completed.
Another new pump has been ordered for
the corner of Washington and Meridian

deal OF trouble in furnishing water at this
corner, and now the board will have a.
pump that will stand the demands made
upon 1t. The city engineer notified the
board that he would be able to report on
the Mississlppi-street sewer by Wednesday

WEARY OF WAITING.

| A Movement ON Foot tn Invade the Chero-
kee Strip-Tircd of Waiting For Congress
| To Act.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 20-Cher-
oliee strip matters have taken Il new
and somewhat sensational turn here
since the publication of the fact that
congress is not likely to ratify the
treaty in time for homesteaders to put
in crops this spring, and the advice tc
them to rent farms in Kansas and Ok
lahoma out of which to make u living
during the coming year
The utter disregard of congress for
the necessities of the people has caused
great indignation here, and perma'
nent organization has been perfected
with the avowed determination to &C
upon and occupy the lands of the strip
Immediately without awaiting the ac'
ton of congress.
A general mass meeting of all boom
ers" has been called to meet at Gale,
Just over the line, south OF this place on
next Wednesday at II o'clock, to set
the day for the invasion, and to perfect
systematic plan of procedure. The
thousands of "booners" waiting here
are very much aroused over the dilatory
tactics of congress and they have fully
determined to go upon the lands in
utter disregard of the consequences.
What the result of such action will
be is not known, and the majority dc
not care. They have been waiting here,
some of them, for years and have dis.
posed of their former homes and spent
the proceeds so that they are not able
TO rent farms. The misery and want
that will be the result of their not go.
ing upon the strip in time to make
crop has been fully discussed, and they
have made up their minds to go ahead
without asking the consent of congress.
Very few people have any conception
Of the condition of the people who are
waiting to find homes in the strip or OF
the suffering that will ensue if the
lands are not opened this spring in
time to make crops. The people are
desperate, and at the meeting next
Wednesday they will certainly decide
to go upon the strip, put in crops and
aWuit the consequences.

PoPuLisTs ENJoINED.
Judge Hazen, of Topeka. Rules In Favor o.
the Republicans.

Judge Mazen, OF Topeka, Rules In Favor Oi
| the Republicans.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1S-Judge y. T..
Hazen, of the district court OF Shawnee
county, has sustained the motion OF the
republican house for n permanent in
junction restraining the state treasurer
from paying any warrants issued by
authority of the Legislative appropria-
tion bill passed by the populist house
last Tuesday, but his decision Is not
| final for the case was ut once appealed
to the supreme court
The question turned largely upon the
decision rendered by the supreme court
of Ohio, wherein it was held that the
journal of the legislature was conclu-
sive evidence of the existence OF that
body, and that the courts we're bound
by the rccitals of the journal as to any
matters of fact that went to make up
the enactment of law. The judge.
however, held that the Ohio case was
not applicable, for in the Kansas in
stance the existence of the defacto
body was questioned Here there were
two bodies, each claiming Legislative
powers, and the courts must Of neces-
sity determine which is clothed with
those powers
Judge Hazen's decision was oral and
he said the question at issue was one
that might be raised in any court
and that he had investigated in the
public interest rs to who was the speak
er. Then 1t became n matter of fact on
which the court might hear proof. If
in fact the appropriation bill was in
valid, these state officials had no au-
thority to pay out public moneys under
it, and the court had jurisdiction to de-
termine whether or not the appropria-
ton bill was invalid
The decision in brief is that the ap.
preparation bill is invalid because it is
not signed by the speaker of the house
of representatives of Kansas. 1t bears
the signature of Speaker Dunsmore Of
the populist house to be sure but Judge
Hazen by inference says that Mr.. Duns-
more is not speaker of the house of rep.
resentatives of Kansas.

Gus De Smith dropped into the Office
of Judge Peterby a few days ago.
After they had talked about local poll
tics, the weather, etc, Judge Peterby
remarked:
"You come to see me very frequently,
Gus, but there is one thing about your
visits that cannot understand"
"What is that?"
''Well, it is the fact that You have
never yet invited me to call on you"
THAT is easily explained" said Gus,
yawning and stretching himself. "You

Missouri when she was destroyed by fire ut
Gibraltar.
On his return to the United States he
was ordered on the sloop- of-war Cyane to

the untiring energy and administrative
ability of the directing mind behind it does
not detract in the least from the great value
of his services to the fair and to his father
land.
In October, 1891, DR.. Richter was appoint
cd by his government as the colaborer of
Commissioner Wermuth, whom he recent
ly succeeded rs Germany's director general
i'll Chicago and ever since then his time has
been entirely devoted to the Iabors i'm
posed upon him. Up to last May his work
was done at home in Germany, and he
worked like Il beaver in Berlin and all the
other great German cities corresponding,
urging, advising and delivering public aC-
dresses in furtherance of the exposition and
Germany's participation in it. When the
exhibits had all been shipped, he followed
them over and attended to their installa-
ton. The smoothness and celebrity with
which this was accomplished made Ger
many model for the nations, and his col
leagues from other countries and the
Worlds fair officials, realizing the worth
OF his services, were among the first and
heartiest in their congratulations on his
promotion.
DIR. Richter was born in Koenigsberg,
Prussia, and is only SO years of age He
studied ut the university of his native CITY
and took his doctors degree at Goettingen
III 1879. After practicing law for awhile
he took to farming, and in 1856 was an
pointed government assessor ut Posen, This
important post he filled with such ability
that he was called to Berlin to work under
the personal supervision of the minister of
the interior, by whom he has been en-
ployed in variety of important and deli
cate tasks. His services were so well ap-
prcciated by the government that he was
made II government councillor in 1890, when
he was but 50 years old.
DR. Richter is n well built man of me-
dunn height and confident mien. His fea-
lures are clear cut and his blue eyes steady
and penetrating. He belongs to the young
est school of German diplomats, and his
manners are suave, polished and agreeable.
