This is the proposed Joint resolution
which accompanies the letters:

WHEREAS, For some years the pripcinal rail-
roads OF this State have been owned and operated
by the following named corporations, all substan-
TALLY under one management, and constituting a
monopoly OF almost unprecedented strength and
influence known as the Southern Pacific Com panv
and whereas, it is currently reported, definitely
charged and by the people Of this State generally
officers, their stockholders their employees their
agents and their intermediates, for years and by
snrreptltious, fraudulent and corrupt means have
dominated the politics and the law of this State
and have exerted controlling influence not ONLY
dangerous but disastrous to the best interests OF
the State, and especially in the following par
ticulars:
(al That through fraud, bribery, corruption and
illegftimate and improper Influences, and through
the purchase and Of political Bosses they have
controlled, for their own benefit and against the
public interests, primary elections. political con-
ventionS, nominations for offices and general cleo
tons.
(b) That. through the means and for the purposes
hereinafter specified, they have INSTRUCTED and de-
feated public justice and justice under the law in
private litigation, and have corrupted and CON
trolled iures, court officers Judges and judicial Off
GERS, and have caused the grossest inequality and
fraud in the administration of the law, and have
secured and obtained and have been the means Of
and facts and forming dangerous and unfair prece
dents.
(c) That, through the means and for the purposes
hereinafter specified, they have interfered with
and largely broken up the just and impartial adj
ministraton of the and the equality of all citi
zens before the law in this State, and have devel-
oped, fostered and maintained class of legal prac-
titioners who depend for their business and their
success, not upon their capacity their learning,
their experience and the facts of the cases or mat
tiers In which they are engaged, but upon Irregular
iHegtimate and corrupt 'pulls' {so-termed) in the
courts and in all the machinery OF litigation, Off
cial and private, and have thus debauched and
polluted the community.
Cd That, for the just and true American stand
ard OF responsibility, usefulness and influence,
they have substituted tests of their own, under
which citizens have been estimated solely by their
subserviency to railroad interests and the will
OF railroad monopolists; that they have kept a
debit and credit account with large numbers of citi
ZenS In which they were and are debted with
and corruption involved in railroad man
agement and credited only with those acts and dec
larations in which they surrendered their own in

purpose of delivering a series of lectures on
the Civil War, in which he bore so honora-

of calls last evening from old comrades at

In somewhat desultory manner the
general last night touched lightly upon
matters pertaining to the army, its present
requirements and its standing as compared
with the forces of other countries. He
said that his idea had always been to place
the army upon modern basis, and that

SUCKERS WERE PLENTY.
A Fakir Cleans Up About 800 in
Two Hours,

Really there seems to be no use in
working for a living in this world.
Fakirs don't and solomon in all his
glory never lived better, About once
a year since the town was founded
there has been a visit from travel
ing fakir who proceeded to do up the
population. No matter how hard
times might be there are always
enough suckers to satisfy the de-
mand and every time they put up.
Saturday afternoon one Of the
visits occurred Arrayed in yellow
with jaw as tireless as Pop ora
tors, he stood up in u buggy on
Third street and sold corn cure and
electric belts. Those buying corn
salve received back the money they
paid Then the belts came on the
market. The belts were cheap pieces
Of webbing with q couple disks Of tin
attached and worth perhaps includ-
Ing the box 8 cents each. They sold
for one dollar and the fakir could
scarcely make change fast enough to
satisfy the crowd. He marked every
box and at the same time marked a
bill wrapped around several silver
dollars and threw it In a hat behind
him. Many people we're suckers
enough to think he was going to dis
tribute the money in the hat--but he |
wasn't. At last he had sold all the
belts, about 100 VI them, and had the |
hat full Of cash.
What shall do with thisp" he
asked holding up the hat.
The crowd laughed and somebody |
said, keep IT,
ut seems to bo unanimous and Is
good advice" said the fakir and he
,mptied 1t into a yalise, shut 1t with
! snap and soberly climbed from the
,arriage and made . scoot for the
,otel, leaving town yesterday.
1t was the old, old game and the
'rowd had been caught. Some
bought three Or four Of the belts in
ending to reap harvest In the
onged-ior distribution, The chill
lren are playing horse with those

SCHOOL BOOKS At REST.
BOARD OF EDUCATION TABLES
THE NATTER.
West Side Petitioners Will Got no
School This Year Tho Building
Sale Il withdawn BY Order Of the
Board High School Rules Adopted.

The school board meeting Monday
night was not exciting. The school
book contest and the west side school

no show for any amusement.

utcs Of previous meeting were read
and approved. The usual bills were
allowed.
The bylaws for Management Of the
high school as reported month ago
were adopted without change.
A petition was presented from the
west side patrons asking for the con-
tinuance Of the school. 1t was under
stood, however. that they would be
satisfied II the building were not re-
moved. They fear that Its removal
will depress property values and the
board conceded to them the request
to retain the building. Hence the or
der Of sale was ordered withdrawn,
but no school will be held there this
year. II cost nearly 8! times as
much per pupil for that school last
year as in the city schools and II Is
considered poor economy to have II in
operation.
A resolution regarding better pre-
caution against infectious diseases
was adopted. 1t appears in full in
the city council proceedings, by
which body II was also adopted.
The report Of the committee, advo-
eating the adoption Of Frye's geogra-
phies and Harper's readers in place Of
those now In use was laid on the
table at the last meeting. DR.. Hew-
EFT moved to take 1t up for considera-
tion. J. T. Hornaday moved to post
pone action indefinitely. Hornaday's
motion was adopted. A motion then
prevailed to take no action on school
books during the present school year
and no change will be made,
The board then adjourned.

PROUD TO SUPPORT HIM.

Chapman Standard (Rep.) 1t af-
fords us pleasure to place at the head
Of our ticket the name Of Hon. 0. L.
Moore, Of Abilene, who was nomi-
mated by acclamation by the Republi-
can judicial convention at Herington
last Monday. He needs no introduc-
tion to the voters Of Dickinson county,
as he has lived here nearly quarter
Of century and no man can say
aught against bis character as an
honorable and upright citizen and his
Republicanism is beyond question.
He has made good record as a sue
cessful attorney and is well qualified
for the office to which he aspires.
While he Is a partisan candidate, II
he is chosen to occupy the judicial
bench he need not be a partisan
judge. Mr.. Moore enlisted In the
service Of his country when boy
only IA years old and barred his breast
to the bullets Of those who fought TO
destroy this government, and his
comrades who stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in the dark days Of
the rebellion, will give him loyal sup
port In this political contest.

AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.

Heringtsn SignMQnd.): Our Repub-
lican friends made an excellent choice
in nominating Hon. 0. l.. Moore, Of
Abilene, as their candidate for district
Judge. In selecting him to head
their ticket they have secured a
strong man, brilliant lawyer and a
clean, honorable gentleman; man
that will show no partiality or preju-
dice in his judicial decisions. Mr..
Moore is well known in this Eighth
judicial district and is said to be one
Of the brightest legal advisors and is
well versed in law. No one can
question his integrity, bis ability and
his cordiality. He is true to his
political faith and will receive the
hearty support of every Republican
in this district He has no enemies.
A large number Of Populists who are
not satisfied with the man at the
head of their ticket will cast their
ballots for Mr.. Moore and make no
mistake.

GLAD OF THE PRIVILEGE.


Hope Crescent (Rep.): The Repub-
lican judicial convention held at Her.
ington Monday, Sept. 80, nominated
Hon. 0. L. Moore, of Abilene, for
judge Of this district. Mr.. Moore is
well known as one Of this c0unty's
leading Republicans and most capa-
BILE attorneys. He is a G. A. R.
leader and regent Of the State Uni
versity. The Republicans Of this
county may well be proud of their
nominee. He is competent and
worthy and will fill the place well.
The Republicans are glad Of the priv.
ilege Of supporting a straight ticket
from top to bottom and Mr.. Moore's
election by a good majority will fol-
low. The Crescent congratulates the

GOOD WORDS FROM SOLOMON.
Solomon Sentinel, (Rep.): Hon. 0.
L. Moore Of Abilene was unanimously
chosen last Monday at the Republican
delegate convention at Herington as
the nominee Of the Sth judicial dis
trict.of this State. Mr.. Moore is
well and favorably known to our
citizens, having been in former days
a resident Of our city. He has re-
ceived much law practice from this
point since his removal to Abilene.
Our citizens bear nothing but the
kindliest feelings towards the able,
conscientious, dignifed gentleman
and they will be pleased to see him
step up the rungs Of the ladder to
which he modestly aspires. He will,
no doubt, make an upright fight for
the position against the present in
cumbent.
GET IN THE WAGON.
Chapman Standard, (Rep.); 1t is
decided that Marion county will stay
