Indian Pottery,

While out hunting on last week
Henry Miller, employed at H. T.
Young's stone quarry in Beaver town
ship, ran a rabbit into hole, and in
removing the stones pulled out some
fine specimens of Indian pottery.
Unfortunately, he did not at first
notice them particularly, and threw
them upon pile of rocks breaking
them TO pieces. He afterwards pick
ed up some of the pieces and took
them back to the quarry. Mr.. Young,
seeing that they were something un,
usual, sent him back for the rest, but
was obliged to return here before Mr..
Miller returned. The pieces shown
us by Mr.. Young are very fine speci,
mems, and from their appearance had
evidently been used in melting ore of
some kind. In support of this theory,
w. G.. Yetter, ex Superintendent of
the P. & z. RR., says that number
of years ago while putting in a siding
at that point the workmen discovered
boulder of very pure lead ore. Mr..
Young will make a thorough investi-
CATION of the locality to see whether
other specimens may not be found

Against the Dubsites.
An oqinion Filed in the Mannheim Evangelical
Church Dispute.

Judge Livington delivered an opin-
ion in the dispute between the
bowman Esher and Dubs' faction Of
the Evangelical Church over the
possession of the Bishop Seybert
Church, in Mannheim. A preliminary
injunction was granted to the Bowman.
Esher people In August restraining
the Dubsites from worshiping in the
church. A motion TO dissolve was
argued at the September term, when
Judge Livingston made an order
permitting both factions to use the
church on Sunday at different hours.
Judge Livingston made a decree
dismlssng the motions. Judge Bru-
baker handed down a dissenting
opinion, taking the ground that it was
100 severe on the Dubs people to
shut them out of place where they
had worshiped for years Judge
Livingston filed an additional state
ment saying that the Dubs people
had refused TO obey his order and
sought another place of worship. The
equities of the case will now be tri.d
at the next term Of court.
This is one OF the most noted cases
IN dispute betve.n the two factions

A TOWN WITHOUT AUTONOMY.
For Eighteen Yesrs Humboldt. Kas.. Has
Rai No Officers.

The town of Humboldt, kas., says
the Kansas City Star, is an organ
lied city Of the third class with
l.5OO people, and for eighteen years
there has not been "a municipal Off
Ger in the town, although the city
election has been held every year.
Thereby hangs a tale. And as il
contains warming against the vo-
ting of bonds and going into debt,
il should be told.
In the spring of 1870 there was
projected south from Junction City
10 Parsons railroad called the
Southern branch of the Union Pa
cific. Humboldt was not a young
town then, but bond voting was the
fashion and Humboldt. which WI 8
old enough TO know better, voted
bonds to the extent of $l75,OOO for
the road. Not satisfied with this
debt, in 1876 the town voted $23,OOO
TO the Fort Scott, Humboldt * West
ern, a road known in the West as
the Old Fifth Parallel" This road
was graded from Fort Scott to
Humboldt. but il was never equip
pei. The grade may be seen to-day
by passengers riding along the
Missouri Pacific. But the grade did
not bring the flood oftrade that was
expected and the bonds being sold
Il the us, a! "innoccnt purchaser
the town began TO skirinish around
in the courts to keep from paying
an unjust debt. The inevitable
came, aud i'm 1876 the town as a le-
gal corporation dissolved into thin
air.
When the officer of the court came
TO Humboldt in-1S76 to compel the
mayor to turn over the interest due
on the bonds he found that al
though there had been a red hot
election the spring before. and al
though there was man there allied
mayor, there was indeed and in le-
gal truth, no mayor at all.
Thesituation has remained the
Same for eighteen years. In two
vears more the debt will be outlaw
ed. Then Humboldt is coming up
TO breathe the FREE air once more as
a municipal corporation. At pres
ent the programme is written upon
tangled web" Every year the
mayor and city council are elected.
The old administration retires and
the new administration comes in
only Il doesn't II comes to the
threshold, but II doesn't enter. 1t
does not qualify"
The council meets without taking
the oath of Office. The mayor Is
merely the chairman of CON-
mitiee Of citizens--tlse council
and the meetings Of the COM
rnltiee are held regularly. Ordi-
nanccs are paaeed giving the city
