ARKANSAS CITY WINS THE CASE.



a $4,000 Attorneys Fee.
ARKANSAS CITY, September 6-The
attorneys for the city have received notice
that the D. Ii. s. A. bond case has
been affirmed by the court of appeals of
the United States.
In 1888 the city voted $4,000 in bonds
to take up the subscriptions guaranteed
the D. VI. s. A. railway for building its
branch to this city. The bonds were
issued, signed and sold. The first inter
est coupons due October I, IS 50, were
paid. After Frank P. Schiffbauer was
elected mayor the last time, he refused
payment of the coupons when presented
on the ground that the bonds we're not
legal obligation of the city. The mat
ter stood this way until Sam. Gilbert was
elected mayor, in 1891. when Swan s.
Barrett, bond brokers and owners of the
bonds, brought suit IN the United States
court to recover the defaulted interest.
The council then employed the firm of
Eaton, Pollock & Love to defend the suit
on contingent fee of twenty per cent of
the amount saved the city if successful,
! the amount not to exceed $50, 900 in COM
putting the commission.
The case was finally tried in the Unit
ed States circuit court and judgment rem
1ered in favor of the CITY and against the
legality of the bonds. The plaintiffs i'm
mediAtely appealed to the L nited States
court Of appeals, argument was submit
ted and the decision of the lower court
in favor of the defendant city affirmed.
This ends the case as no appeal will lie
to the United States supreme court and
the bonds are and will remain illegal
and uncollectible- By the terms of the
contract with the attorneys the city now
owes Eaton, Pollock 6 Love $4,000 at
torneys' fees, instead of $68,000 bond
and interest

MR.. TERRELL ATTACKED,

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 90.
Rev. T. NJ. Johnson, the
Baptist minister of this city
who so bitterly arraigned Unit
ed States Minister Terrell Sun-
day night. furnished the Asso-
ciated Press with a brief note
to night, in which he corrects a
statement published therein to
the effect that Mr.. Terrell had
actually adopted that Moham-
medan religion. Mr.. johnson
says he meant to convey the
idea that Mr.. Terrell might as
well be a Turk. so far as the
Americans under the domain
of the Sultan are concerned;
that he obtains favors for him
self and does not hotter himself
about others. He says he did
not charge Mr.. Terrell WIKI
ahetting the murder Of the
Christians or that he individual
| ly garbIes or smothers such
protests. The petition signed
by Mr.. johnson and the thirty
three other members of his
party asking for Minister Ter
rell's removal has been forward
ed to Secretary Olney.

MODERN SLAVERY.

The contract tabor system now in vogue
on the Sandwich Islands renders its victims
practically slaves. There are i'll fact many
forms of slavery Ill modern times. HeTed-
itary environment ensaves many of our
own people. A inan may become the slave
OF habit or disease. A man bound by the
fetters of terrible malady, is not capable
OF doing great work or OF enjoying the
beauties of life. Many men, by oyerwork,
indiscretion, ignorance, follies Of many
kinds, forge shacklos for themselves, but
they are slaves none the less. Such men
should call themselves to order and solemnly
sign a declaration of independence.
Any man found in the fetters Of disease
may find relief by consulting Dr. II. A.
