TRAIN MOVEMENTS.
Tie Wichita and Western and Frisco Still
Closed Tight

The trains on the main line are moving
again.
The Missuri pacific is opened as far west
as Hutchinson and as lar east as Fort
Scott and trains are moving in that por-
tion of the system. Between here and
Kiowa TIE blockade still exists and one of
the trains is stuck somewhere between
Anthony and Hazleton. Snow plows are
out working but are not making much
headway.
A traiL is expected in on the Frisco this
evening for the first time since Sunday
morning. A snow plow left Neodesha night
before last propelled by three engines and
1t is expected here this morning
The Rock Island main line is open and
trains are running north and south on
pretty reasonable time. The southbonnd
trains would have run all the time, nearly,
were it not for two heavy freight trains
that got stuck in cut near Medford-
The Santa Fe main line is all right and
so is the road from Newton south. but the
branches are in bad shape and several
trains are blockaded on them. The
Wichita aud Western is all tied
engines started out from here yesterday
but it had not reached Goddard, a dis
tance of fourteen miles, last night, fact
which indicates the seriousness OF the
blockade. Another snow plow and two
engines left Mullinville. but they are pro-
gressing very slowly. The indications are
that traffic viii no. be resumed IN this
branch for two or three days

PREPARING FOR THE FRAY.

Regardless of the snow the clans of Col
onel Hallowell and George L. Douglas are
preparing for tomorrow's contest. The
offices of both gentlemen are filled from
early morning till late at night with sup
porters and one of the most difficult tasks
is to make ND the lists of delegates for
each side. There are 263 names to be
selected in the city, 134 for each side, and
this is no easy task. The name of each
candidate for delegate is canvass
ed and recanvassed. 1t is sub
miuted to the friends of each
contestant and then it is canvassed and re-
canvassed again. I'VE want to be sure be
is right" is the way the unsuspecting pro-
posed delegate is treated and if there is
any doubt about which side he is on, off
goes his name and that of another gentle
man is canvassed and recanvassed
Then. again, it is not only necessary that
a man shall be right, but he must have
other qualifications. He must have the
qualities of an Eli" for it makes no diff
ference how right" a man is. he is of
little use in a contest like this if he cannot
succeed in being elected. He must be a
good ruStler at the primary voting places
and acquainted with the Republicans of
the ward. The contest at the primaries
promises to be al energetic and lively one
and will be carried on with as much vigor
as a final contest would be on election day.

FIRE AT WASHINGTON SCHOOL.

About 9 O'Clock yesterday morning fire
broke out in the Washington school build
ing aud for time it looked as if the
splendid structure would be destroyed.
By prompt and vigorous work on the part
of those of the school who could do any
thing, supplemented by residents in the
immediate vicinity, the fire was extin-
guished after damaging the floors aud
furniture in the Third and Fifth grade
rooms somewhat. The city fire depart
ment responded with its usual prompti-
tude, but the fire was practically out when
il arrived.
The fire originated from the furnace
and hot air pipes with which the building
is heated, on account of some defect that
had not been observed, but which will be
corrected. On account of the FIRE school at
that building WAS dismissed for the day,
and poue will be held in the Third and
Fifth grades today, but everything will be
sll right by tomorrow.

WHEAT AND HOGS.
Sedgwick County Farmers Use the Morton
Machine for Manufacturing Wheat Into Cash.

The present price of wheat is unquestion-
ably due in part to the great flood OF the
cereal that has been poured into market
of late. As before stated in these columns
the low price has seemed to stimulate
farmers who had surplus grain on hand to
let it go for fear the bottom might drop
ont of the market completely and they be
unable to sell their holdings at any price
which in many instances would prove a
lucky thing for the holders. There are
many exceptions to this policy, though:
farmers who take advantage of adverse
conditions in one direction and turn them
to good account in another. A notable
illustration of this was brought to light in
this city day or two ago. A local mill
ing firm learned that a farmer in the coun
ty had considerable quantity of wheat of
the crop of '92 still on hand. and that the
grain was of superior quality. The firm
sent an agent to see the wheat. He found
it as it had been represented, of extra
quality and in splendid condition. The
farmer refused to sell, however, declining
a tempting advance on the market price
The farmer explained that he had lot
of hogs he had been feeding on wheat and
that it was giving better results than any
feed he had ever used, and preferred to
keep his wheat for that purpose to selling
it at any price he could get, or at any price
RS for that, though he has good supply
of corn still on hand.
Another farmer of the county has fed,
or will during the winter, 1 1000 bushels of
wheat to hogs. and with more satisfactory
results altogether than be has had from
corn, the hogs growing faster and thriving
better every way. By feeding wheat to
hogs these farmers not only claim more
satisfactory results with the hogs, but ut
the same time they get more for the grain,
while they save the labor and expense of
hauling tito market.
A grain buyer on the bear side of the
Chicago market, Monday, declared that
the great blanket of snow that had fallen
all over Kansas would make the state good
for another 100, ,000, 600 bushel crop of wheat
this year, and the price dropped cents
upon the strength of the statement of
fact as 70 the snow and the conclusion as
stated. But with the capabilities of wheat
as hog food, as has been demonstrated,
tho farmer will suffer no unrest from ap-
prehensions Of an over supply and low
prices for wheat.
With hogs at cents gross wheat can be
fed to them at a profit until the price of
the latter goes above 60 cents. There is no
danger Of having too much of either.

SUING A ROMEO
MISS BIDWELL's ESCORT WON'T PAY
FOR HER BROKEN LIMB
Au Exciting Fourth Of July Runaway
Recalled-A Case OF Interest to
Young Men Who Take Their
Best Girls Out for Buggy
Ride in the Cleaning.

One of the interesting civil suits in the
local courts is that commenced in Justice
Keenans court By Drs. st. John. Hupp
and Al Wbitlock against Abner Barnes OF
the northeastern part Of the county for sl0C
for services rendered as physicians and
surgeons.
On the fourth of last July Mr.. Barnes
and Miss Mary Bidwell came down from
Sedgwick to celebrate the national holiday
in true American style.
When the festivities ended at Riverside
park Mr.. Barnes secured q buggy and he
and Miss Bidweil drove around the va
rious streets looking a: the pyrotechnic
works. A sky-roeket frightened the horse
and it ran away. Many people still re-
member that exciting runaway. The
horse dashed up Douglas avenue through
volley after volley of fireworks, taking on
new speed at the explosion of every fire.
cracker and rocket which the ex-
cited and hilarious citizen touched CT
in commemoration of that happy event
that made them all free men. free women
and free boys and girls. At the corner of
Lawrence and Douglas the team turned
aud capcized the vehicle but the speed was
so great that the buggy rebounded back to
its wheels again without spillinG the oc-
cupants.
At the corner of Lawrence avenue ana
English street the buggy was again cap
seized and this time Mr.. Bar nes and Miss
Bidwell were thrown out aud the
latter badly injured. She was rendered
unconscious and taken into the residence
of Z. |. White. Her escort. Mr.. Barnes.
requested that she be given the very best
medical attendance, and the plaintiffs In
the case were called in. Miss Bidwell had
regained consciousness and she was suffer-
ing such intense pain that her wild
screams could have been heard a dis
tance of several blocks. Her limb was
found badly fractured. but she protested
against the physicians relieving her.
Notwithstanding her protests the
physicians administered chloroform
and set the fractured limb. In due time
they presented the bill to Mr.. Barnes aud
he refused to pay it, hence the suit
At the time of the accident 1T was
stated that Miss Bidwell and Mr..
Barnes were soon to be married, but that
was eight months ago, and she Is still
Miss" Bidwell. That, and the fact that
mending of her limb would indicate that
she lost the charms which she had for
him.
The result of the case will be watched
with interest by young men who take
their girls out riding behind fractions
horses.

WHY BELIEVE IN FREE TRADE.

EDITOR GAzETTE-If our factories could
get the raw material cheaper than they now
do then the consumer would get the mann
factured article cheaper in proportion; and
this, you can plainly see, would benefit the
masses-just what we are wanting 1t is
an old, mistaken idea that the producer and
manufacturer need SO much protection. It
is the consumer who needs protecting.
High wages are not so much a matter OF
Importance as is the purchasing power or
value OF our money. If we can get our
food and clothing cheap, then you readily
see that we can werk cheap.
In other words to protect our wool grow.
ers of America would be simply creating a
monopoly against the interest of the
masses. You ask ask why? Because every
body wears wool and only very few
raise it. Therefore say the greatest good
to the greatest number. And believe that
if we do not have free trade, reduction in
officers salaries, and several other very i'm.
portant congressional acts during the pres
ent administration, that both the old par.
ties may sing farewell sour glory hath
departed" and two years hence the peoples
or third party will elect their president with
an overwhelming ma ajority. $50 mote it
