The state supreme court has decided
that the act passed by the legislative
session of 1887 providing for the issuing
of road certificates by Wyandotte county
for the improvement of lis public roads,
to be unconstitutional, and therefore
void. OF course that settles the matter
as far as The state courts are concerned;
but what is to become of the innocent

Wicilita's Inimitable Way.

From The Topeka Lance.
Wichita has been termed the Peerless
Princess OF the Arkansas valley, and
rightly so. Her business men are ever
alert. and it would seem the darker the
days the more they white to keep up
their courage. Her city council have
engaged special attorney for no other
purpose than to again take up the fight
for her rights in the way Of rates. The
state board of railroad commissioners
has set Il day, and will hear what they
have to say. The council has taken
steps toward building an auditorium to
entice conventions to their city. and
they will go, for the allurments of Marsh
Murdoch and his allies and abettors are
not to be withstood.

In the course of column of editorial
comment upon a few pertinent ques-
tions put by the EAGLE short time ago
touching the possible contingencies OF
the coming campaign as affecting the
outcome for the success or defeat Of
the Republican party, the Atchison
Champion makes this plain statement
of fact:
THE party of the future will be the
one found nearest to the hearts and
homes OF the plain, common people of
lie land. The Republicans cannot win
he next contest by banking upon the
mistakes and blunders of the enemy.

CHICAGO, April 10.-A furious wind
and hail storm swept over the southern

the car window which had been broken
by hailstones and one of the veins of
his neck was cut. Before medical aid

Gigantic Strike.

CHICAGO, April 1O.-In obedience to an
order of the Building Trades council,
issued after a conference that lasted
until a late hour last night, 1000 union
mechanics employed at the Worlds Fair
grounds, quit work at s o'clock.
The trades represented are carpenters,
painters, ornamental ironworkers, hod-
carriers, tin and sheet ironworkers, cor
niceworkers, steamitters, gastitters, cleo
~tricalworkers, tile workers, mosaicwork-
ers, fresco painters, fathers, hosting
engineers, marble cutters, gravel roof
ers, aud other smaller trades. The
bricklayers, stone cutters and plasterers
are not involved.
The men claim that the council of ad-
ministration of the Worlds Fair has
broken faith with the allied trades upon
the arbitration question, and that the
outlook is for further violations of the
agreement on other points. The real
u of the trouble is the hiring of nor.

in the city.
Mr.. MERCER says he is here for pleas
ure, and that the rest of the party are

apart from these objects, their meeting
here was not accidental, and that they
will confer while they are in the city

country as advocates of annexation.

was accomplished, our interests would

this administration is apparently bent

becoming utterly Disguised, and letters
full OF complaints are coming here from
North Dakota.

CALIFORNIA; Wheat Crop.

SAN Francisco, April 1O.-Reports
received from 10 points in all parts Of
California indicate hat this state will
have bountiful crops this year. In the
San Joaquin valley, the great wheat
raising district of the state, the crop
will be unprecedented in size. In the
Sacramento valley, the other great
wheat-raising district, reports are not
so favorable. It is estimated there will
be only half an average crop this year
on account of continued cold and rainy
weather and a smaller acreage planted
to wheat. In Southern California a
large yield of grain is expected. as the
r"''' 'rns in that section have been ia
vorable.

SrURa1s, KY, April 1O.-The confes.

come. Lewis Land, a young MAI of
the county, called on the authorities
and laid bare the whole plot to kill the
fOlivers. He implicated the four men
now under arrest and said that he him
self with Will Gort and Alex Thomson,
OF this place, were also in the party that
fired on the divers. He said he had
no idea what he was going for when he
left his house. He confessed now, he
declared, because an innocent man is
suspected and might be hanged. This
man, Land declares, is George Henry,
now under arrest. He says Henry was
not of the party and had nothing what
ever to do with the affair. He made a
long statement and affidavit. He said
that even after the shooting some
one Of the crowd wanted Delaney,
whose brother had been forced to marry
the Oliver girl, to go back and kill the
rest OF the family, but he appeared sat
'sfied with the revenge for the present.

is to get nothing. He claims to be con-

American Missionaries Fired

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.--Private adj
vices from Jahut, Marshall Islands, in
the South Pacific say that the new Ger
man high commissioner, Major Schmidt,
has decided to evict all the American
and native Protestant missionaries from
the islands. For years the missionary
brig Morning Star has carried members
o. the American Board of Foreign Mis-.
slons to the various islands of the group
where they have trained native teachers.
The Germans have decided to stop this.
as they claim the American missionaries
prejudice the natives against German
rule.
