To Settle Out OF Court.
Judge Hazen made "a ruling today that
was out of the ordinary i'm district court
business. II was in the case of Coult'a
VS.. Matney involving the question of the
administration Of an estate. j. q. Waters
and =. IL lsenhart were the opposing
lawyers. The case WAS tried by Judge
Hazen and taken under advise
ment until today, when he ans
nounced that he was unable % arrive
at any decision. He suggested that if the
lawyers would call 40 his Office after
court hours and each bring their clianta
with them, he would examine more fully
into the case and determine the rights
and equity of the iitigants. If this plaza
were followed universally there would be
less need of lawyers.
Motions Overruled.
J. G. Slonecker, sitting as judge pro
tenn OF the district court today over
ruled the plaintiffs motion for "a new
trial in the case Of List against Jock
heck. The case grew out on tho ucci-
dental shooting Of Bir List by himself iu
JOckheck's saloon more than ten yeara
ago. Lists widow, the plaintiff ina the
case, sued Jockheck for damages on the
ground that il he hadn't been drinking
so much of JockheclS's bad whisky tho
accident wouldn't have happened.
Judge johnson of the circuit court

peka when a car that was not properly
coupled broke loose and dashed down
the incline, cutting off one Of the b0y'a
legs. He got $4,000 damages 40 the iaat

CALDWELL'S ANSWER.
He Says the Santa Fe Receivers Must Pay
Their Employees.


Some time ago the employees of the
Santa Fe road, says the Wichita Eagle,
sent petition to United States Circuit
Judge Caldwell asking him to punch up
the receivers to pay them promptly. It
seems that there is a rule existing in the
management of the Santa Fe that an en-
ploye who does not pay his debts prompt
ly will be discharged It takes money to
pay debts, and, hence, the petition to
Judge Caldwell. Yesterday the follow
ing answer was received:
To j. N. Huff and Others, Wichita, Kans.:
CENT EMEN:@Y our petition relating
to pay day is received I have referred
it to the receivers with directions to pay
all employees early and regularly as
possible. just now the receivers are
having the greatest difficulty to raise
funds to repair the road, replace the
property destroyed and pay the wages
of its men. They will be requested to
do the best they can. For month the
earnings have been cut off; thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty has been destroyed and other thous-
ands expended in an effort to prevent
further destruction of property. But
Notwithstanding these deplorable condi-
tiOns the men must be paid their full
wages as soon and as fast it is possible
to raise the money and do it. Yours
truly, HENRY G. CALDWELL

Mrs. Cleveland lives in terror of the
kodak fiend. She is very much averse TO
having snap pictures of her children
made while they are at play in the White
House grounds, and strict orders are Civ
en- that no one with camera be allowed
within shooting distaLce while the Misses
Cleveland are taking the air. But it is a
hard struggle to keep the children out Of
the way of men and women with small
cameras, and last week an enterprising
and persistent young man succeeded in
getting several good pictures of the
White House group at play. There was
great excitement in the White House
when it was learned that this had been
done, and extravagant offers were made
to the young man to give up his hard
earned negatives. but he refused all Of
fers and kept the egatives.-Wa Washing

WICHITA. July 23.=The leading grape
growers of the county have met and or
ganized themselves into "The Wichita
Grape Growers association"
The chief object of the association is
to establish a Wichita brand of grapes
and find market for them. In order to
do this a committee was appointed to
manage that matter.
The first thing that is required is that
all grapes be graded in this way so all
buyers will know what they are to re-
ceive, whether it be first, second or third
grade of grapes. The next thing de-
cided was that all baskets should be of
uniform size, to facilitate shipping. And
finally all dealings must be free from
fraud and no bad fruit be shipped.

Mir Editor:
 The election for State and county offers is rapidly approaching and it becomes the duty of every good Dem- ocrat who feels an interest in the welfare of this county to he at luis post on election dey and vote the straight Democratic ticket from Governor down and see that no one remains behind, for upon the success of the Democratic party depends the happiness, prosperity and peace of this county inyears to come. for the reason that the Democratic party is the party of the people and for the people, and has ever been and will forever be; that no other party has ever done anything for the people but only managed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and have continued to impose burdens upon the people almost too buFiensome to be borne. and especially in this county. Sa let every man turn out on election day and settle the politi- cal status of this county through all coming years and determine that mind shall rule this county hereafter l did at one timefavo q compromise that would be satisfactory to the Democratic party andnot otherwise. but the party of which I have been q lifelong member thought otherwise, and with my party 1 always stand. And in conclusion will say there are two things do earnestly pray for. which is the suceess of the christian religion and the Democratic partY.

 Washington For Gray Gables. Going

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.- President Cleveland left Washington via the Penn sylvania railway at 7;20 yesterday morning for New York on his way to Gray Gables His companions were Lamont, who goes to join his family al Bay View, Long Island: Thurber, who is bound for Marion. Mass. where his family are summering, and q gentleman whose face is not familiar to the rail. road officials.
 The party arrived at the station few minutes after o'clock and proceeded at once to the private car of President Roberts, which was attached to the reg. ular New York train. The president took seat on the rear platform of tho car and with the other members of the party spent 15 minutes in watching the arrival of other early travellers.
 A good sized crowd was at the station when the president arrived, most of whom were encampment visitors wait ing for the trains to go home. Few knew that the president was expected, and fewer still, recognized him as he passed through.
