CHILDREN WE'RE ALI. PATRIOTIC.
Schools Commemorate the Eigty-Sixth An
niversary of Biith of LOYAL American.

The children in the public schools
were all patriotic yesterday and they
sang the national hymn America
with great enthusiasm.
Germany celebrated the seth birth
day of Prince Bismarck on April be-
cause of the part he took in the grea [
events which made Germany one of
the foremost powers in the world but
yesterday American people celebrated
the S5th birthday Of the man who wrote
the song Of freedom.
Rev. sam +. Smith, the author of
the hymn America was So years old
yesterday. He has lived only two
days less than six years longer in this
world than Bismarck. and DR.. Rich
ardson gave the order for the schools
OF Wichita To celebrate the birthday
of the man through whose brain the
national hymn was inspired.
Promptly at noon the bells on the
school buildings began 10 talk with
their iron tongues and the voices o.
teachers and children were united in
singing the song that patriotic Amer
leans love so well.
The children seemed 10 enjoy the
exercises immensely because Kansas
children in general and Wichita child
ren in particular are by education and
instinct intensely loyal Americans
That is the reason they all Joined in

Injunction Proceedings tn Restrain he sale
OF Property of Wichita National Bank.

Major Ewing, as receiver of the
Wichita National bank, has commence
ed injunction proceedings against Sher-
if Royse to restrain him selling any
real estate or property belonging to
the Wichita National bank and
especially lots II and l on Lawrence
avenue and lots 81 and % on Emporia
avenue in English's third addition.
The plaintiff sets up in his petition
that on the 18th day of May. 1894, Ho-
gan. Evans q Co, recovered a judg-
meat against the Wichita National
bank for the sum of S56i.12 and the
costs assessed at SsS.S5.
1t is further shown that no execu-
ton was issued or any attempt made
TO collect said judgment until the 10Th
day of February, 1895, at which time
the books were in the hands of the re-
ceiVer.
Then Major Ewing further shows
TO the court that he has in his possess
sion as such receiver the sum of So. 900
not yet specifically applied or set apart
for any particular or specific purpose
with which said claim can he satisfied
# the receiver was duly authorized by
Il court of competent jurisdiction to
satisfy said claim in full.
The receiver therefore asks for a per-
petual injunction against the defend
ants from levying on or asserting any
title to any of the property of the Wich-
ita National bank.

At the meeting last night of Garfield
post. Grand Army of the Republic, a
great deal of interest was taken in

servance of Memorial Day on the Both
of May next. The general committee
made a full report and recommended
tions, which were unanimously adopt
ed.
Whereas The loyal citizens of Wich-
ita have in years gone by contributed
literally toward defraying the eXpen-
ses on Memorial Day, therefore, be it
Resolved. That Garfield post, Grand
Army OF the Republic, do not send out
a committee to solicit money, and that
all expenses incurred shall be paid by
the post through the quartermaster.
The following letter was read:

County Attorney Davis has advised

/ likely TO cause some of the lenders oi
money to have some very interesting
) business on hand.
| It seems that a numebr of parties in
! this city and county are loaning east
ern money which is secured by mort
! gage on real estate and on personal
| property.
These mortgages are taken in the
name of the agent and signed over TO
the principal who does not live in Kan
sas and when the assessor come around
to assess the mortgage for taxation
the agent says: Il do not own these
! mortgages. 1 have transferred my inter
est i'll them TO a party who does not
live in this state. Don't you See?"
/ Dug Caldwell sees and he went 10
County Attorney Davis to know what
he should do about it.
County Attorney Davis thinks these
mortgages ought TO be taxed and he
advised Mr.. Caldwell and the county
commissioners to make these agents
walk up and return such mortgages
for taxation and in case any of them
refused to bring suit against them by
having the sheriffff attach the mort
cages for taxes already due.
III Is suspected that some or these
gold bug money lenders are loaning
their own money and then sign them
over 10 some straw man in the eastern
states in order to avoid their share OF
the just taxation.
1t is to ascertain whether this sus-
picion is well founded that County At
torney Davis proposes to walk some of
these dealers in hard cash into the dis
trict court and when John gets them
in the big witness chair at Judge
Reeds left he will PROFOUND some
mighty interesting questions for them

There are men in this city who have
no end of money to loan who are hard
ly known on the tax list and when
assessor Caldwell goes around to see
them he finds them in such destitute
circumstances that he at once con-
cludes that they are fit subjects for the
especial care of the county commission
erS or the Humane society.
County Attorney Davis proposes to
have the county commissioners go into
court on an exploring expedition to
find out who owns some of these mort.
cages. John is naturally patriotic and

CLIPPED THE FEES
COUNTY ATTORNEY DAVIS GOES IN
EOR A LITTLE ECONOMY.
Mr.. Knight Wanted Two Hundred Dollars
for Coming from st. Louis to Testify
Against a Man Who Mas Accused of
Swindling Him, but Mr.. Davis Clipped
low No More Milage but from County
Line Except in ContinSency-He shows
Where Other Leaks are Located.

County Attorney John Davis has
formed himself into a committee OF one
to practice little economy in county
affairs. He has bought big blue pen
Gil and he proposes to use il with a
strong, vigorous hand backed by con-
sciousness OF right and justice.
Yesterday a bill against the county
for $500 was submitted 10 him for his
approval 1t was bill OF Mr. knight
of st. Louis who came here to testify
in the case of the state of Kansas
against Ward. Some four or five years
ago it is alleged that Ward. through
some clever Misrepresentation, secured
! a loan, through one of Mr.. Knights
agents, of 81 SEQ on farm which ne did
not own. Il cost the county whole
lot Of money to apprehend Mr.. Ward
and bring him TO justice
Mr.. Davis cut the mileage of Mr..
knight, allowing him mileage only from
the county line instead of from Mis-
souri,. When he got through cutting
Mr.. Knights was only $50 instead of
$500. He considered that to be enough
particularly when the prosecution was
made to some extent in the interest of
MIR. Knight himself.
Mr.. Davis was seen last night and he
said: Il do not propose to have this
county pay the mileage of any witness
except from the county line. The peo-
pie are too poor TO be taxed for big
mileage expenses. This is a matter
that L am going TO watch closely dur
ing my term of office as / am satisfied
that a great saving can be made. OF
course it may be necessary sometimes
TO break the rule when an important
witness is necessary, but even in such
an event L propose 10 get the permits
sion of the county commissioners be-
fore bringing such a witness. There is
too much work in the county attorneys
office to watch these bills as closely as
they ought to be watched, but I'll try TO
do the best L can"
Speaking about other leaks Mr.. Davis
said: Il don't know for the life of me
how it was done, but l know of cases
where witnesses would come into
Wichita, go home at night, come back
in the morning, keep journeying back
and forth for three or four days and get
mileage for every trip. That kind OF
business would swamp the county if it
was kept up. Witnesses are not en-
titled to it, and they should not have
it. The settled policy of my office shall
be to cut off the eXorbitant fee system
that has been prevailing"
