COUNTY CHAMPIONS.
WELLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL EN-
JOYS THAT DISTINCTION.
Elyria High School Team Defeated to the
Tune of 10 to O.-A Fine Game and
u Large Crowd Present

Saturday was day of triumph in We'll
lingtOn. The football team returning to
the city with the victorious eagles had
amused the pOpulace with sport hitherto
unwitnessed in this luxurious city. The
young men hailing from the burg of con-
gressional aspirants were no match for the
WellingtOnians. Their 1853 pound line,
centered by 205 pound youth of the
cOlOred variety, were tossed and tumbled
about like ninepins. They were unable
to withstand the furious rushes Of We'll
lington's farmer" line. Coming, as
they did, to literally wipe our team off
the earth, they returned, filled with sOr-
row and nursing sore heads. Their ad-
vent into our quiet city was heralded by
the blare of trumpets and tin horns, but
''They quietly folded their tents and
stole away" As they made their depar-
ture the foam of conflict yet fingered on
their lips, the scowl of battle yet hung
upon their brows, and the large knobs on
their profiles indicated that it had been a
busy day with them.
A brief account Of the game may be Of
interest to those who were unable to at.
tend.
The game was started at o'clOck witt
WellingtOn's ball. 1t was forced yard b!
yard toward the Elyria goal and carried
over by LaundOn. Bush kicked goal
making the score six to nothing.
The game progressed and Elyria car
: ried the ball to the twenty-five yard line
which was as near the goal as they cam
the first half. Time was called with tn
score six to nothing in favor Of yelling
ton.
The Elyrias showed themselves to b
kickers Of the worst kind. Had the
Z played ball and done less kicking the
doubtless would have made bette
showing, at least proved themselve
capable of playing fair ball.
s Elyria refused to go on the field for tn
second half and stood around for nearl
!. an hour, to the great disgust of til
2 crowd.
The teams finally lined up with Elyri
+ in possession Of the ball. The ball wa
n punted and Immediately returned to til
A center of the field, Elyria lost the ball o
a four downs. The ball was jamme
through Elyria's line and carried Owe
9 the goal by Bush. Wellington failed t
kick goal. Score, ten to nothing. Elyri
did not score in the remainder Of tn
half, although they came very near it.
By winning this game Wellington oil
n tains the high school championship {
the county. The teams lined up as 70

HARD ON RICHARDSON.
The Lynchers in Tennessee Will he Ru,
to Cover and Prosecuted

The Lynchers in Tennf Will BE Run
to Cover and Prosecuted
MEMPHIS, Sept. 5.-The five men ar
rested on suspicion Of being concerned
in Friday nights lynching are out Oh
bail. They are W. S. Richardson, the
officer who had the six negroes in
charge; E. T. Atkinson, the driver OF
of the wagon; J. w. Walker, W. S.
Thompson and J. d. Laxton The last
three are farmers living near Kerrville,
to have done the greater part of the
barn burning.
Judge Cooper, of the criminal court,
at first fixed the bail at $4,000 each,
but later reduced it $1,000 upon their
showing that they were poor men and
unable to furnish the large amount.
The grand jury is in session and has
summoned large number of witnesses
in connection with the lynching.
When Richardson appeared on the
streets he was soon made to feel that it
would have been much pleasanter for
him to remain in Jail. The most that
charity can say for him is that his con-
duct was blameWOrthy fOOlhard1neSS,
and there is seemingly larger as well
as an unkinder multitude who believe
that he knew an attempt would be made
to lynch his prisoners, and that he led
them into the hands of the mob by
bringing them over a previously de.
clared route
The wife of one of the victims stated
that Atchison, the driver of the wagon,
told her the morning after til lynching
that Richardson held the ligie while his
prisoners We're shot to death. But
Atchison denied that he had made snch
statement, and he insisted that Rich
ardson held his hands above his head
while the shooting was i'll progress.
1t was discovered, when the warrants
of arrest were examined, that they were
drawn up by Richardson, sworn to by
Laxton and signed by the magistrate
without question. Warrants are u.s.
ually written out by magistrates them
selves.
A new set of officials were sworn in,
and the papers and people of Memphis
are demanding an enforcement of the
law.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 6.-The investigation
into the lynching of the six negroes
near Millington, this county, Is being
pushed with vigor and the grand jury
has returned five indictments and more
will follow. Among those indicted are
Detective w. S. Richardson who ar
rested the negroes and led them into th1
hands of the mob; A. Atkinson, the
man who drove the wagon ON the night
of the lynching; JEFF Laxton, ner-
chant of Kerrville, supposed to have
been leader of the mob; Mike Strick-
fadden and Jim Sisselly, members o.
the vigilants.
Reports from Kerrville and Milling
ton state that the lynclers became
alarmed over the firm stand of Governor
Turney and Judge Cooper, and many
are making preparations to leave th
country A sherif's posse went to Kerr
vile during the night for the pulposa
of capturing those suspected OF compile

There are six counts i'll each bill

RThe City Council seem to have
struck the key note at their last
meeting when they demanded that
flagmen be placed at the M. & C.
Railroad crossings. Their demands
heretofore have been so modest that
the railroad officials would not no>
tice them at all. But now, when
the road sees they mean business
Mr.. Pegram makes our city visit
and pours his "httle tale Of woe"
into the ear of an editor. The time
is past now for discussing this
matter through the papers. The
people demand either fag.nen or
electric lights, and the Council is
determined that thev shall have one
or the other. For our part, we
prefer the flagmen as they protect
passers during the day also, and it
is altogether probable that if a flag
man had been stationed at the
Meridian crossing last Sunday Will
Duncan would be alive today.

libelous thrust at the governor and at

Havoring the Pullman company in the
matter Of taxes. In answer to q request
Attorney General Little made the fol.
lowing reply:
"In 1886 the state board of railway
assessors for Kansas assessed the
coaches or rolling stock Of the Pullman
car company, the same as other railway
property in Kansas. The Pullman COM
pany claimed that it was an Illinois cor.
poratiOn and that the stock Of the COM
pany was assessed in Illinois and that
the company could not be compelled to
pay taxes on its property In this state.
The company therefore commenced an
action in the United States circuit court
agaist the officers of sixty.fiVe counties
to enjoin the collection of the taxes
levied upon the Pullman cars. The fed
eral court here decided that Kansas had
q right to assess and collect taxes on
Pullman property. The Pullman COM

CONCERNING KANSAS.

hoodwink and to prey upon the people.
"The election Of Major M MoErill to be
chief executive Of the state and his as
soCiste upon the republican ticket
means the return to power Of the old
regGnse whose corruption, peCulation and
dishonesty in Office have bean the dis
grace Of the fair state Of Kansas. The over
throw Of the old rotten regime was due
to a wise combination Of the better ele-
nents Of the state. The return Of this
crowd to power can only be brought
about by the disintegrstion OF these sle-
ments. To effect this result corporation
influence, personal greed for Office and
the oupiditF Of these who esteem. self
aggrandisement an object to be attained,
higher than the interest of the state and
above the welfare Of the people, have
been brought into powerful play to
separate the masses Of the people in the
interests Of the election Of the republi-
can ticket.
whether or not the wisest counsels
have prevailed among the elements op-
posed to the republican party is not now
a question to be discussed. The simple
problem is, shall the republican party
return to power by reason Of the dis
integration Of the voters opposed to It.
For our part we say, no! Every fiber Of
our nature and every prejudice Of our
being are opposed to the return Of the
republican party to power, and for this
reason the Press adopts the only course
by which the republican party can be
defeated. Il does this conscious Of the
fact and honest in it's belief that great
majority Of the democratic voters Of the
state Of Kansas coincide in its conclu-
sion and will lndorss It's action by their
votes upon election day.
"F'or this reason and in order TO attain
the object desired, the Press places at
the top OF its columns the entire Popu.
list ticket, with faith in It's triumph at
the polls and with the assurance that it's
election will subserVe the best interests
Of the state Of Kansas"
