WHO SHALL MILK bessie.
Woman Who Struck Her Husband With Pee
OF Brad Not Allowed to MILK the Cow.

Through her attorney yesterday appear
ed Caroline Simonsen in court. There
were two papers which she had placed on
file, the one about her husband the other
aboat her cow.
Her husband is A. c. S. Simonsen, who
last month applied to the court for a
divorce from Caroline and the custody of
the children, and gave as his reasons that
Caroline had been guilty of neglect and
cruelty.
She denied that she had struck him in
the face with piece of bread or had sworn
at him or accused him of heinous crimes
whereby his life was N danger from
her relatives She denied totally each and
every allegation in his petition except that
they had been married.
In her second paper she alleges that she
had one lone COW. That she sold the milk
from the COW and in this way sustained
and supported herself But that her hus-
band bore down upon poor bessie and
would not allow Caroline to milk her and
so the petitioner had no means of support.
She therefore asked the court that her
husband be required to pay weekly sti-
pend to her for her support which she
claims he is able to do as his business Of
blacksmith brings him SIS a week.

WILL BE A FIzZLE.
That is What New EnSlander Predicts for
the Coxey Movement.

T. C. Becker Of Middleton, Conn, is a
visitor in the city. He is connected with a
boot and shoe factory and seems to under
stand the cause of the general distress pre-
vailiug. He says it is owing nearly alto
gether to lack of confidence. on the part
of the men who are financially interested
in industrial enterprises in the Demo-
cratic party, to properly legislate for gen
eral business interests. He thinks. also.
that if the tariff bill is disposed of soon, no
matter in which way, that times Will inn
prove little. Oily dallying with the
tariff keeps the manufacturers in general
state of uncertainty. They don't know
how to buy or sell; not knowing what the
value of the raw material Will be after
the tariff bill is passed.
When asked his opinion of the Coxey
movement be said: 1T reminds me TO
some extent Of Jack Cade's little racket in
England during the reign of Henry the
sixth. You will find that it will end in q
fZzle, as did Cade's revolution. didn't
know that CoXey resembles Jack Cade-l
followers certainly resemble the fellows
that went with Cade. Cade was the cats
paw of the duke OF York: Coxey is the
cats paw of the Populist party, which. In
time, expects to reap any OF the doubtful
advantages that may accrue from the
movement.
"All this talk about concentrating 10O,-
900 mployed men in Washington as
living petition is mere nonsense. There
will not be 1000 members of the army in
Washington on May 10.
"Will there be bloodshed?"
NO, not drop: These people will find
out that this is a strong government and
they will not attempt to precipitate any
trouble even if there were enough OF them
to raise disturbance. The fact Is, there
is no serious Importance attached to the
movement In the eastern states. 1t Is the
enterprising and imaginative reporter that
is filling up the Coxey ranks and creating
his armies L hear more Coxey talk out
here during All hour than would hear In
Middleton during a week. L heard Il
group of your citizens on the corner today
comparing the movement to the French
revolution. There is no comparison.
have also heard some comparing 1t with
John Browns movement. In this there is
also no comparison. John Brown was fol-
lowed by armed cranks; Coxey Is followed
by unarmed tramps."

CO-PARTN ERsHIP IN COURT.

Charles f. Horner filed a suit in the dis
trict court yesterday against Dick Cogdell
and A. l. Honck. He alleges that he is in
partnership with them In a hardware store
ar Perry, and that the partnership has not
been dissolved. He says the defendant
Cortei with the connivance of Houck
wrongfully and without assent of plaintiff
applied some o. the money, receipts and
profits to his own use. He also charges
him with selling the building erected by
the co-partnership to W. :. Morris
He further alleges that with the
connivauce of Houck he, the de-
PENDANT, charged himself with sl.0Uo.
Plaintiff has demanded to have paid TO
said coparLnership the money received and
misappropristed. but the defendant neg
lected and refused TO DO so and still con-
tinues to collect copartnersblp debts and
apply them 10 his own use. Plaintiff
finally prays for dissolution of the CO..
partnership and settlement

For one or two years Wichita was the
greatest wagon-w heat market In the world,
fac. that was shown at the time 10 Dc
tue by the figures of the agricultural de-
partmeut ut Washington. 1t was before
either the Missouri Pacific or Rock Island
railroads had built into southern Kansas,
and when the eastern terminus of the
Santa Fe was on the Missouri river.
Wichita at that time had seven elevators
and two storage houses. But because of
her lack of storage capacity, want of
power to grade, and facilities tor cleaning.
together with the struggle made for the
wheat traffic by the new roads coming in,
the trade fell into the hands of Chicago,
ST. Louis and Kansas City grain dealers
and was scattered to side-track car
loading and small station elevators erected
by these eastern grain interests all over
the wheat growing belt. Ever since that
time the wheat of southern Kansas has
been subjected to being mixed, tolled and
. graded by foreign dealers. The direct
way for the farmers of south Kansas to
realize the Missouri river price for wheat
is to concentrate it at Wichita for the
purpose of cleaning and grading to be for
warded on to destination without any adj
ditional lay over freight charges. To do
this elevators and storage capacity is alb
solutely necessary. A grain buyer of the
NevIing Grain company writes sensibly
on this subject as follows:
WICHITA, Kan, April 26. 1894
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Our Grain and Trade convention has re-
suited in no effort on our part to build an
Al MI - f,r
outsiders to do the work it is time for US
To know it and abandon hope. When an
auditorium was considered necessary.
few energetic business men raised the re-
ouired funds. If our business men-be-
heying rs they do in Wichita's supremacy
grain ceuter-sell their birthrigbt,
what will be the consequences?
An effort is now being made to aggre-
gate the shipments OF grain from this
point for the sake of comparison with
Kansas City shipments. There is not one
car OF grain out of every hundred moved
by our local grain dealers which is stopped
at Wichita and would appear to our credit.
Shipments originating at Wichita or Kan
sas City are comparatively nil; but taking
the numbe of our dealers and the relative
disadvantages OF rates into account, we
can show more shipments than our rival.
In view of what we are doing, in view of
what we can de, in view of the irredeem-
hple loss 20 TINS part OF the state, In vlew
of teeming prospects, and in view of
our interest and faith in Wichita, the
west and the south; let our influential
business men take the elevator matter up
Let the sape public spirit characterize
their efforts which has been shown in
other matters pertaining to the public
good, and we will have the long sought
for and much needed elevator in time to
handle our coming harvest. There has
Oeen MANY SUGGESTIONS as to the ways and
means which are feasible, but, whatever
plan should be adopted. Wichita should
own her elevator. Yours truly.

WANT LESS LAW.
Revision OF the City ordiu noes Alleged to b.
Neeess ty.

City Attorney Myatt says at present
the greatest necessity for reform in the
ordinances.
1t is some six years now since the ordi-
pances were revised. and published and
since then the new ordinances have been
kept posted in a scrap book. These uncod-
fled ordinances number 200 and hard TO
lind when they are wanted. Since the
book was published some of the ordinances
have been amended as high as six times
and If the city attorney has occasion TO see
what it provides he has to worm through
the entire |, 200 uncodihed ordinances to
find what it means when all the scraps are
put together. He thinks u revision COM
mittee should be appointed TO put all the
ordiu snces up to date in intelligent and
practical shape and then publish them in
book form.
