A SQUABBLE AT PERRY.

PERRY, o. T., Jan. Especial. il. +.
Malone, register of the land office at this
place. the Wisconsin Democrat, whose
name by telegraph is Jupiter" and who
was indicted by the United States grand
juryNt the late session is this county, is
again in trouble. 1t seems that man by
the name of Lynn, with something over
1,G00 more people, made a run on the
memorable 10th of September, 1898. for
The quarter section of land lying north of
the city of Perry. The 1000 settled on
the quarter; surveyed it, erected homes
thereon, and foOlshly thought they were
in it, as it were. Not so, Lynn. He was
almost the first man to make a filing in
the land office, and he filed on that
quarter. By and by an innocent looking
and harmless appearing sheet called 1.-THE
Real Estate Rustler' made an unostenta-
iious appearance. 1t was diminutivs
paper. No one read it, and only few
numbers of it were ever inflicted upon this
suffering community, and one day, AS
Farmer Doolittle might say, ''it died a
bornin.'" But 1t had lived long enough
for Mr.. Lynn to secure a publication notice
therein, signed by j. f. Malone register,
and all to the ignorance of the settlers in
North Perry on the quarter on which
LYNN had filed. And unknown to them was
the contest before Register Jupiter" of
the land Office, and all unknown his de-
csion in favor of Lynn until yesterday
Then the people rose up as one man and
girded up their loins. and passed resolu-
tions in mass meeting assem- bled, de-
nounc,ng the trick performed by Lynn
aud Jupiter" and his four moons, and
the smoke flew SO that Lamoreaux called
"A halt.
1t was rumored on the streets on Thurs
day last that most of the land office force
had been fired, but the rumor proved
untrue.
There are not so many contested lots in
Perry as WAS at first supposed, only about
one-third of the total number being con-
tested. Block B, however, has forty lots
and only four are uncontested. This is the
block that was originally a park reserve.
but was plated at the last moment. The
townsite board will soon commence issu-
ing deeds TO the uncontested lots and then
every man from Wichita thinks Perry will
boom. What it will boom for is not
stated.
The auction corner is one of animated
activity for several hours every afternoon.
Carpenters tools and poor horses are the
chief kinds of property sold.
A signal service flag pole is being erected
on the north side of the square. Perry is

sgnallv hoDored.
Many people of note are here, but few
suits because of that fact have, ms yet, been
commenced against them. The brother of
Mrs. James G. Blaine. Jr, is here in the

pissioners about the fees just like any or

EMlGRANT BUSINESS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The question Of
handling emigrant business. which has
been considered in New York for several
days past, has been settled in favor of the
Western Passenger association. The New
York agents agreed to deal exclusively
with the association lines in routing bust
hess, and to deal only with such emIgrant
agents as are party to this agreement
The contract hits the Union Pacific hard,
as it Is not member of the association,
aud its fight to secure control of San
Francisco business has gone for nothing.
There is no Intention, however, on the
part of the association lines to crowd the
Union Pacific out of justly-entitled busi-
hess. If the newly adopted scheme lie a
success, there hss been wiped out the
most serious cause of decentralization in
business the western lines have.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13-Schaeffer won the
great three-cornered balk Line billiard
| match. Tonight's play was most excIt-
ing and resulted as follows: Schaeffer,
600; Ives, 500.
1t devolved upon Schaeffer tonight to
play good billiards in order to have any
chance at the sweepstakes of 81, 500 aud
half the gate receipts. He must win in
order TO tie Ives, as the latter had won all
his games thus far, while Schaeffer had
lost to Ives on Wednesday night; so to-
nights game was for blood, each man re-
aiizing that he must be at his best.
Up to the seventh inning the play was
somewhat ordinary. AT that time Ives
had 110 and Schaeffer Al, but in the next
the wizard got in some delightful balk-
line nursing and ran up 49, stopping on a
long cross-the-table cushion shot. Soon
Ives got in his work again, and
in strong, but not artistic, billiards
piled up 81. putting him in the
lead again. The wizard, however,
elegant balk-line play. Score: Schaeffer,
252; Ives. 206.
Soon Ives got his second wind and started
in for keeps. His play was remarkable.
After scoring couple OF times for an or
binary amount he made Is on a long drive,
passed the century mark, using the lower
rail, went to 143 and then to 152, also on
the lower rail, changing to the side rail he
ran up to 175, and then, there apparently
being no limit to his capacity to make
billiards, he went into the open table and
ran the score up to 200 At 203, however
he missed side draw and retired amid the
plaudits of the spectators. Score: Ives,
400; Schaeffer, 252.
Cool as clam, Schaeffer took his turn.
When he breke the score was 282 to 494 in
favor of Ives. but Ives could do but little
now. while Schaeffer began playing de
lightfully, and in a trice had landed 134,
making the score stand; Ives, 491; Schaef
fer. AS.
In the nineteenth Scbaeffer made a
plucky shot. He sent his own ball around
the four cushions with heavy reverse
twist. and, in counting, obtained an ex-
excellent position. He played like man
whose life was mt stake, and never stopped
till he had 1l2 to his credit, making the
score stand: Ives, 5S5; Schaeffer, 5S4. The
strain at this point was something ter
rife. and each shot was watched intensely.
Each scored slightly, when finally Ives
had but fourteen to go. The marker call
ed 13, with the balls on the rail. The shot
was not Il hard one, but Ives missed by n
hair. The two object balls were left
frozen to the side of the rail. over two
feet apart, with Schaeffer's ball out in the
middle OF the table. 1t was an almost i'm
possible shot, but Schaeffer drew from the
white to the red and counted, finally GO
ing at it like the man Of iron he is. He
made lt exactly right, and while 1000
spectators held their breath, he won the
most remarkable game of billiards on rec
ord. His run was fifteen, and he had
beaten Ives just one point IN 600.
Averages -Schaeffer, 81 6-22 Ives, 81 5-22.

THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Secretary Car
isles reported purpose of issuing bonds.
by virtue of the general authority granted
to the secretary of the treasury under the
act of 1875, has aroused the interest of
some of the leading constitutional lawyers
of the house as to the legality OF such ac
tion. 1t is well understood that Mr.. Car
Isle would not resort to this general act
except for the purpose of meeting pressing
demands for cash. Judge Culberson OF
Texas, chairman of the judiciary commit
tee OF the house, and most, if not all, OF
his colleagues on that committee. say that
while the secretary has the general right
TO issue bonds, he cannot use the proceeds
derived from their sale except for the sim
gle purpose of redeeming outstanding
treasury notes. Or course this would pre-
clude the possibility of using the proceeds
of bond issue for meeting current eX-
penses. and would render a resort to bonds
almost nugatory.
