SENATOR PRICE SUED FOR $4,000.

The suit Alleges Fraud, But There APP
pears to be Some Misunderstanding
+ ATCHIsoN. June ia suit which will
no doubt cause considerable comment
was filed in the district court late Satur-
day afternoon. The plaintiff in the ac-
ton is Robert hcCrie and the defendants
John NJ. Price and Eliza A Price, his
wife. In February, 1898, it is alleged
the plaintiffs borrowed from McCrie
about $4,000 on two promissory notes.
McCrie alleges that the defendants
represented that Mrs. Price owned 500
acres of land in johnson county, Ken
lucky. and on this security the loan was
made He says he began to press his
claim and could not get the money and
learning that Mrs Price did not own the
land in question, went to Kentucky to see
about it. He claims that he has positive
proof that Mrs. Price does not own the land
and SO filed suit for $40, 1874 principal
and interest. An order was granted re-
straining the defendants from dispOsing
of any property while the suit is in pro-
gress.
McCrie alleges fraud upon the part of
the defendants, and says it was perpe-
trated for the purpose of securing the
loan. MIR. Price is known to be perfectly
honorable in his business transactions,
and the general opinion seems to be that
some mistake exists. Mr. Price is now
in very critical condition, and has been
unable to leave his home for some time.

GAUGER's ALLOWANCE.
Secures Raise of ST. 900 and Will
Be Further Favored

Secures Raise of 81 900 and Will
Be Further Favored.
A. +. Gauger, the newly elected build
ing Inspector. will not enter upon the
discharge of his duties until Monday
next. Mr.. Gauger. seen yesterday, said
he had not decided upon the persons 10
be employed in the Office. AT mestings
of the board of aldermen and assembly
Tuesday evening the amount allowed in
the tax budget for the building inSpec-
tors office was raised $1,000 without the
slightest objection. A the special COM
mittee meeting the'sum allowed was cut
from $1,000 to $1,000, the statements of
the Republican members being that the
business of the office could be very
we'll handled at the last mentioned
figure. No sooner had A. F. Gauger
been elected than the refOrmers
figured il out that the office could not
be run for less than $4,000, and the
change was made. BY resolution of
the council the pay roll of the building
inspectors office is now fixed at not
more than 1915 month. This amount
was fixed after deal of discussion, in
which the more prominent retormerS OF
both bodies insisted that it was at least
800 per month too much. Since the
election of Gauger there seems to have
been change of opinion. and at the
next meeting resolution will be Intro
duced repeating the one fixing the
amount of the monthly expenditures.
The explanation gwen for such action
is that the new Inspector should not be
hampered, at least until after the spring
election

Second - A true protective system,
that will protect American labor and
secure to American citizens the Amer
lean markets; adequate subsidies to
American shipping; remove all duties
from articles which control domestic
production and repress domestic COM
petition, demonstrate that protection is
national question, for the public adj
vantage Of diversl fed industries, in

telligence among the people, and the
promotion of domestic commerce.
We demand legislation that will estab-
liSh on permanent basis the unre-
stricted use of both gold and silver as
money, that will admit the minis of the
United States for coinage of silver
bullion from mines of the United States
of America, of payment by the owner
of the seignOrage. and that will ad
foreign silver only for coinage purposes
at a seignorage.
We demand legislation that will pro-
hibit the sale of public lands to aliens to
ownership of land by aliens; and that
will prohibit the immigration of subjects
or citizens of foreign countries unless
such immigrants intend TO become citi-
ZenS of the United States and have not
been of the criminal or pauper classes
in the countries from which they emf
grated
