Decided in His Favor,

CHICAGO, June 1.-Several months ago
Attorney General Maloney began quo
warranto proceedings against the Pull
man Palace Car company, for the pur
pose of taking away the company's

charter by buying real estate and build
ing the town of Pullman by erecting
and operating the Pullman building
in this city; by manufacturing brick
and in other ways. The case has been
pending in the court ever since. 1t was
elaborately argued some time ago and
Judge Baker handed down his decision
today
The decision was favorable to the COM
pany In all points but one, and the

brick yard land and to sell liquor in cars,
but had no right to own Pullman iron
and steel stock. No judgment was en-
tered against the company.
1t is understood the company will &C

Willing to Suffer, He Says.
Judge Phillips this afternoon handed
down decision in the case
against Moses Harmon and SEN
fenced the old man to one year and
one day in the penitentiasy. Harmon
was convicted in 1888 of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails and re-

years in the penitentiary and $500 fine.
There was an error in his commitment
and on account of the error he was or
dered released by the U. s. court of
appeals. Since then he has been out
on bond. The question of recommitting
him to the penitentiary was argued two
months ago. Harmon said after the SEN
tence had been passed, Il am very glad
to go to the penitentiary to suffer for
the right. Other men before me have
suffered and am ready"

sTERNE'S SUCCESS.
And Mayor Fellows Gets a S. q Day
Job, Too.

The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Times sends story to his
paper to the effect that State Senator w.
and Leland forces.
After telling how Senator Sterne was
snubbed by the governor in the division
of the spoils which belong to Shawnee
county. the Times correspondent says:
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture Sterne proceeded to organize a re-
bellion in Shawnee county. He enlisted
under his banner that prince of fixers,
Judge A. B. Quinton, and that arch con-
spirator, D. o. McCrsy. This trio laid
plans to go into the next Republican
state convention with an anti Morrill,
delegation. Clubs were formed in every
ward in Topeka. They we're known as
Curtis clubs in honor of Congressman
Curtis, but the object of their organiza-
ton was to do up Morrill,.
Chairman Leland saw that Sterne was
going to make trouble, SO he came to
Topeka to see what could be done. He
brought about an interview between
Sterne and the governor, and thereby
hangs another tale.
Sterne's bosom friend, Captain John
Seaton of Atchison, was appointed to be
a member of the state board of public
works. Then the board of public works
elected G. w. Holland, also an init
mate friend of Sterne, to be
state architect And then the
executive council, of which Governor
Morrill, is president, awarded an impor-
tant contract for state house work to
Mayor Charles Fellows, another of
Sterne's running mates. All this has
been accomplished in a little over a
month, and Senator Sterne is feeling
Ouito we'll thank vOu
"Sterne has dropped his club work,
and Quinton and McCray are undecided
whether to keep on with the rebellion or
follow suit and fall in with the admins
tration.
''It is said that Sterne has his eye on
several other ripe luscious plums, and if
he does not get them, he probably will
re-engage in the rebellion business"
The job which Mayor Fellows has Sc
cured is that of building inspector which
was given him by State Architect Hol-
land.
The executive council authorized the
state architect to have the walls of the
unfinished part of the building dressed
ready for the plastering and Mayor
Fellows was hired to boss the job
AS building inspector he will get So a
day and his present engagement will be
for about two Woeks

DOM DIDN'T RUN.
AT Least He Says He Didn't, but Went to
Chicago on Business.

AT Least He Says He Didn't, but Went to
Chicago on Business.
The case of W. E Dem, the Topeka
lawyer charged with embezzling 1885
from Thomas C.. Cecil, of Omaha, came
up for preliminary hearing in Justice
Guys court this morning at ten o'clock
and was continued again till Monday
morning.
1t is hardly probable though that the
case will be heard on Monday morning,
as it will be necessary to have Mr.. Cecil
present, and he may not be able to get
here
Dom was the agent of Cecil in Topeka
and it was claimed had collected 5000
which he ad never turned over to Cecil.
1t transpires now, however, that Dnm
had remitted 1866 of the money, and the
complaint charges him with embezzle-
ment of only $335.
Dom has hired three lawyers to de-
fend him, S. B. Isenhart, Joe Reed and
j. I. Ward He feels certain of win
ming his case and showing that his &C
ton was entirely in good faith.
Joe Reed says that the defense
will be along the line that Dom
did not run away; that he told
several people he was going to
Chicago long before he went. John
Schenck is one of the number, and will
swear to it. Others will also testify to
the same showing. The trip to Chicago
was made on business, Dom says
Mr.. Reed does not know what became
of the 1885.
Dom's bond was placed at $7OO, which
he is today trying to give.

Actual Suffering There.


Governor Morrill, is in receipt of let

OF Ellis county who makes an appeal for
aid for suffering farmers.
Joseph Rupp, one of the county COM
mlssloners, is the writer of the letter
which Governor Morrill, says is the most
uagent appeal made by Kansas people

The continuous failure of crops in
Ellis county for many years has resulted
in some of the farmers being reduced to
point bordering on starvation.
Mr. Rupp says the farmers are now
collecting and cooking herbs to keep
their families from starving Many of
the husbands have left the country to
look for work, while their wives and
children are left to exist as best they can
on nothing.
Governor Morrill, has not yet taken
any steps to relieve the suffering of

Referee Sheridan says today that
the truth has not been half told
about the disgraceful doings of twenty
or thirty of the starters in the
race. The referee has the list of some
twenty men who will be forced to make
some very clear explanations to avoid
being summarily dealt with.
