being done, from which we expect
large results. We are very much in
terested in watching the attitude of
the various parties on this question.
1t had been urged upon us early in
the campaign that political indorse-
ment would not advance our cause.
Here we have in Kansas two parties
favoring the amendment, one declnr-
ing unqualifiedly against it, the fourth
silent on the question. 1t will be our
privilege to observe the effect of these
'yarj~ = lines of action upon the vote
on -1e amendment. We shall be able
70 determine whether for a party to
declare for or to remain silent on this
matter gets the amendment more or
less votes.
"In regard to the dispatches which
have spread rumors of wars, there Is
nothing to say except that they con-
tain no truth. Our national treasurer
has telegraphed to the papers deny
ing the statement that the National
association would restrain the further
payment of funds to the support of
the Kansas campaign. Miss Anthony
has recently turned over to the KAN
sas treasurer certain lands In this state
recently bequeathed to her. The Kan
sas campaign committee will realize
as much as possible from the lands for
the payment of camnaign expenses.

Long Drouth Broken.

Milwaukee. Sept. S.-The remark

northwest portion. Besides there were
isolated smaller rain ares in the north

was very light and none was reported

that the forest fire region received

Huntington, L. l., Sept. S.-Christo-
pher Doran is holding up the town of
Huntington with big shotgun. Doran
owns a strip of land on Wall street on
which is large sand bank. One por-
ton of the sand bank, the village trus-
tee claims, belongs to the village, as 1t
is on the public highway. AS the high
way commissioners were In neec or a
few loads of sand, Road Commissioner
w. II. Lewis directed his men to go
there and dig out what was wanted.
Doran heard of 1t and when the men
got on the ground he stood on the bank
fifty feet in the air and forbade them
to touch the sand. The men returned
to the village and told Commissioner
Lewis. The latter took Surveyor Darl-
ing and gang of men and went to the
sand bank. The party found the old
man sitting with his back to n tree
with Il pile of stones in front of him.
He refused to arbitrate. When the
men began to dig he began TO fire
rocks. They were big ones and Doran
fired to kill The men were forced
to retire for reinforcements. When
they again returned Doran had OBJ
tained a big shotgun and was waiting
their arrival. The attacking party
scampered back to the village. 1t was
n race for life. and the village thought
an army was after them.
The highway commissioner went be-
fore Justice Hendrickson last night
and swore out n warrant for Doran's
arrest. No one, however, could be
found to serve it. All the constables
had other business of n pressing ma.
ture. and Doran is still in possession
of the fort and all efforts to dislodse
him prove futile.

M'LIsTER IN POSSESSION.
Eject of Judge Bailey's Decision in the
Prison Case.

Canon City, Colo, Sept. s-Judge
Morton Bailey this afternoon rendered
his decision in the mandamus proceed
ing brought by Solomon J. Toy to oust
Warden McLister from the peniten-
tiary. The alternative writ of manda-
mus was quashed by the judge, which
leaves McI.ister in possession of the
penitentiary. In deciding the case
Judge Bailey expressly disclaimed any
expression as to the merits of the con-
tr6versy, and said that the decision
was based entirely on the pleadings,
that it was evident from them that the
title to the office was in question and
that mandamus was not the proper
proceeding to try ttle to office, and
that Mr.. Toy had mistaken his remedy
in instituting these proceedings. This
leaves the parties in the exact position
they held before the present suit was
begun. Messrs. Waldo and Dawson
represented Warden McLister in this
matter. and the decision was directly
in line with their pleadings and au-
thorities.

Denver, Colo, Sept. S.-A dispatch
to the Republican from Ration, says:
Southbound passenger train No. 3
of the Santa Fe road was ditched at
Dillon Junction, two miles south Of
here, at $50 p. m. The accident was
caused by an open switch. The in
jured are:
Engineer Pat Boyle, cuts about the
face, left shoulder and hip; badly
stove up and bruised; will recover.
Fireman Joe Meaden, slightly
bruised about the body.
Postal Clerk G. B. Baldridge Of La
Iunta, left leg badly crushed, will
have to be amputated below the knee;
also badly bruised about the body.
Postal Clerk II. G. Russell Of La
Junta, one cash top of head and one
behind left ear, but not serious.
The passengers were badly shaken
up. but none hurt.
The train consisted of one each OF
Eail, baggage, express, smoker, chaii
car, tourist sleeper and Pullman. All
but the last two left the track. The en-
zine jumped down an embankment
about five feet high, turned over on
its side and half buried itself In the
mud, fifteen feet from the track. 1t is
n complete wreck, good for nothing but
scrap iron. The mail coach following
shot completely over the engine and
turned over on its side; next came the
baggage and the express cars, turn
ing completely over and piled on the
engine. These three cars are also
complete loss. The smoker was teles,
coped into the express car for SIX
feet; the chair car left the rails, but
did not turn over; the tourist car and
the Pullman remained on the track.
The train was one hour and twenty
minutes late. and was running at the
rate of fifty miles per hour. When
Engineer Boyle discovered that the
switch was open he had only time to
jump and yell to his fireman to follow
him Viewing the wreck, n large pile
of scrap iron and kindling wood, !,
seems miraculous that anyone In the
first three cars should escape, yet Ex

switch the wrong way by mistake.

THE SWEATING SYSTEM.

Demonstration.

New York, Sept. IA mass meet
ing of strikers was held in Cooper un-
Ion tonight. 1t was a demonstration
made by operatives in the clothing
trade against the Sweating system"
The hall was crowded and the deter
mination expressed not to return to
work until the system was abolished.
Samuel Gompers denounced the
sweating system as "damnable and ac-
cursed" awe must have victory or
we will die for it," said Mr.. Gompers
excitedly.
John Swinton said the fight was a
fight for life or death against the
plundcrer and the millionaire. He be
iieved In strikes. The law could not
be depended upon because the judges
were corrupt. The church was cring-
Ing to the money power and the press
was nrrayed against the striker. The
DIutocratic republic was failure, said
MFR. Swinton, and he finished by de-
iIouncing President Cleveland as
"TIangman Jack Ketch of the White
House."
Resolutions were passed expressing
lie determination of the strikers to
continue the struggle until they Sc
..u.ed more wages.
The clothing contractors met to-
right and decided to form an associa-
ten.

Washington, Sept. THE much
mooted German question was decided
by the supreme lodge Of the knights
Of Pythias to-day, by decisive vote,
against permitting the use of the rit-
ual In other than the English Ian.
guage. Two votes were taken, first
on the substitution of the minority re-
mort to give the German lodges five
years of grace In which to adopt the
English ritual, resulted "a to Al
against the minority report. Then the
majority report was adopted by vote
of 70 to 80.
The gist of the majority report is
found In the following recommended
ton, that the declaration made at the
Kansas City session, that henceforth
and forevermore the ritual used In this
and all other English-speaking nations
be printed in the English language
only, and that when the standard Of
country speaking another than the
English Language, the ritual therein
used shall be printed and all concerns
over which the body has control shall
be conducted only in the language on
such government to the end that 1t
may be known to all men and all ma
tions that around our affairs, Pythian
knights are taught, as one of the car
dinal principles of our order, undying
loyalty and devotion to the government
to which they owe their allegiance,
whether 1t be the land Of their birth
or the country of their adoption"
1t also commended the supreme chan.
cellor for hts action in upholding the
law in this matter, and was. signed by
four members of the committee stan
ton l.. Carter, Thomas D. Mears. L. r.
Hunt and Aaron Myers.
John III. Busse of Indiana was the
authority of the minority report which
recommended that lodges which have
remained to the supreme lodge and
were working with rituals in other
languages when the last ritual was pro-
mulgated be furnished with rituals In
the language they were previously u.s.
ing for a period of five years, after
which they would surrender them and
use only the English.
Three hOurs' debate was had. The
principal speech for the minority was
made by Representative Featherstone
of Wisconsin, and for the majority by
Representative Carter of California. 1t
was argued against tile minority prop
osition that If five years were granted
the German lodges they would apply
for another extension of time at the
end of that period and the whole ques-
ton would have to be fought over
again.
Sitting in committee of the whole,
the lodge has approved the unanimous
report of the committee OIL the state
ment of the order recommending that
saloonkeepers, bartcnders and profess
sional gamblers be declared Ineligible
to membership, but not affecting those
who have already become members.
The question has not been acted upon
by the supreme lodge proper.
The same committee recommends
that the supreme lodge proclaim
against the use Of the name of Pythi-
ans in connection with ranks.

Inform alton for the Guidance of Those

Washington, Sept. 9.-Practical in
formation for the guidance of all in
terested in the good roads movement
is embodied In an important report of
the United States geological survey
on the geology of the common roads of
the country, prepared by Geologist N.
s. Shaler. The report outlines the his
tory of American roads, discusses the
geological condition of road material
and reviews the sources of supply of
road stones
The report says a disadvantage
arises from the fact that almost half
the area of this country. that part of
1t having nine-tenths of its crop-siving
value, lacks adequate materials for
highway construction.
"Our railway authorities should be
brought to realize the Importance of
the development of their ways in ia
voring the transportation over their
lines of road-mnking materials. The
greater number of roads in this coun-
try are in effect branches of one or
more railways. So far only n few rail
ways have been disposed to foster the
betterment of highways by fixing the
charge for materials for their construc-
tion at actual cost"

-FOUR HUNDREDDIvoRc VOID
Sweeping Eject of an Oklahoma Supreme
Court Decision.


Court Decision.
Gutherie, o. T., Sept 1O.-A decision
of the supreme court Of the territory
nullifies all divorces granted by pro-
bate judges in Oklahoma since March
1893. There have been fully 400 such
divorces granted and as a large per-
centage of the persons SO divorced
have been married since, they are
guilty of bigamy. The persons affected
are scattered throughout the United
States, having come here to take ad-
vantage of the territory's law, which
permits a divorce for any one of thir-
teen causes, after n residence of ninety
days is established.
The decision of the court will make
much trouble to those who were grant
ed divorces by the Probate court. The
decision of the Probate court is re-
versed and it is held that it had no
power to grant divorces. Judge Scott
dissented from that opinion and an ap-
peal has been made to the supreme
court of the United States. The legis-
lature passed IN act in 1890 giving
Probate courts equal Jurisdiction with
district courts in granting divorces,
which act was ratified by congress.
The supreme court holds that this is
contrary to the organic act; lawyers
claimed the ratification or coz 1ess
abrogates the organic prohibition.
Divorce applicants will not have to
apply to the district court. Those d.
yorced in the Probate court, many Of
whom have married again, will have
to re-apply and get a second divorce.
Those remarked are apparently big
amists and their offspring illegal. 1t
will take special legislative act to
legalize them.
Among the many granted divorces 80
annulled are Helen Garland from
Chas. w. Garland of Denver, w. FL.
Dury from Louise Dury, both of Den
yer, Joana Jared from Eli Jared Of
Pueblo, Nettie Bealong from George
Bealong, Colorado Springs. Ellen Bry-
ant from John Bryant, Liberty, Neb.,

Laramie, Wyo., Maggie Day from Hor-
alto Day, Arapahoe county, Colorado.
