WICHITA TURNS MULE.

But the Insurance Companies VIII Bring
Her to Time.
Poor old Wichita is mad at every body
and everything since she had to shut up
her saloons. She is even so mad at her
self that she is speechless with rage.
Since the saloons have closed she pro-
poses not to play any more. She will
take her doll rags and go rig ht home.
If she can't have saloons the street cars
shan't run, circuses shan't come to town
or maybe the sun will not be permitted
to rise.
Wichita first showed her childishness
at losing her beer privileges by refusing
to pay the police force, then she cut
down the street force, and now she has
cut down the fire department. all because
she can't have her beer She won't do a
thing to her own people; no. indeed. She
has severed her prOboscidian appendage
from her scowling countenance, and only
wishes for another nose To amputate. If
this were the school season all the teach
ers would be discharged and the scholars
sent home, because their papas can't get
their beer. Beer or nothing. Rather be
blotted off of the earth than not have
beer
1t is really too bad but the "Beerless
Princess" must take her medicine
Mr.. H. Clarkson of Topeka the insur-
ance czar. has notified Wichita business
men that if thev do not cause the coun-
Gil to re- establish the two fire companies
which have just been disbandsd he will
raise their fire insurance rates. That's
the ultimatum, beer or no beer.

SANTA FE WANTS RELIEF.
1t Is Now Paying Rent on Property 1t is
Said to Own.

Said to Own.
CHICAGO, July 2O.-The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad occupies the
unique position of paying $4,000 rental
for property which it is said to own, and
the Union Trust company of New
York which is the roads trus-
tee under a $t50,OO0,OOO bond issue
asks the federal court to set aside the
anomalous position.
The Santa Fe road entered into a con-
tract four years ago with the Chicago
Elevated Terminal railroad campany in
a scheme which has been explained sew
eral times in the newspapers to erect
great union. depot at Twelfth street and
a hydraulic freight warehouse in which
the cars were to be lifted up to the upper
stories to be unloaded
By the agreement the Santa Fe was to
pay an annual rental of $65O,0O0 and all
taxes on the property. Until the pur-
chase money was paid the road was to
deduct $4,000 year, the interest on
the $8, 102 264, and to deduct 100000
and $96000 respectively rentals on leases
to the Western Indiana & Grand Trunk
railroads. This left net sum of $130,00
year rental to be paid.
The trust company alleges that no con-
sideration whatever was paid by the
terminal company for the property, that
since the deed of transfer the Santa Fe
has been IN actual possession of the line as
| it was before. The trust company asks the
court to set aside the transfer to compel
the recovery of the rentals paid under it
and by Injunction to restrain any further
recognition of the contract or transfer,
until the cause is finally heard or dis

What the Result of the Present Election
Means.

LONDON, July 2O.-No one seems to un-
derstand the political situation more
than Mr. McKelway, editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle. who recently wrote letter to
the Times on the subject. In an inter
view today Mr.. McKelway said, 'sThe
new parliament will have a clear tory
majority over all groups, including
the Liberal Unionists. The things
voted down and out here are
sumptuary theories of trade union poll
tics and social experimentation. The
things postponed from present consider
alton are home rule, the disesta blishment
of the English church and the abolition
of the house of lords.
"The matters brought to the front are
reform in the poor laws, and policy Of
largeness rather than thin, local liberty
| for Ireland, vigorous colonial develop
| ment and eventually bimetallism. The
latter, however. in favor of the inter
national use Of silver on it's value il

MOTE GOES OUT.

Negotiations were going on this after
noon whereby Manager Ii. T. Mote gives
up all interest in the Topeka base
ball club. Charley McCabe started
out to raise money to back the
team and keep it here the rest of the
season. Some one will be secured to
take care of the finances and the players
will play on the cooperation plan.
Shortstop Riester expected to leave
this afternoon for Clyde to play
there. If everything goes all right the
team will leave Monday to play away
from home the rest of the month.

SECESSION AT WICHITA.
The Fifth Ward Withdraws From the City
In Anger.

WICHITA, Kan, July 2o.-The Fifth
ward of this city gave notice of seces-
sion today from the municipal cor
poration, and next Monday night
the city council will take action
in the matter. The cause of the
action of the ward is the removal of a
fire depot house from the ward, which is
separated from the main part of the city
by the Arkansas river.
Some of the police force and the cleo
trio lights were also removed The
ward pays one-ffth of the taxes
of the city, and is only getting about
one twentieth of the benefits of mu-
nicipal government If the ward is al
lowed to secede it will select an indie
pendent municipal government and thus
complicate matters. 1t will not be large
enough to come under the metropolitan
police law and the governor can not in
terfere with local rule by the enforce.
ment of the prohibitory law.

A Brutal English Mob PeIts the Novelist
With STONES and Mud
LONDON, July 2O.-If further evidence
was needed of the brutality of English
mObs on election days it was furnished
yesterday in the eastern Norfolk district,
where H. Rider Haggard, the novelist
was the Conservative candidate. He
made a tour of the district in a four
horse drag and was repeatedly most
roughly received, being pelted in some
cases with mud and stones.
Near Ladham a Miss Hartcup, who
was member of Mr.. Haggard's party,
was cut on the head by flying missile,
and at Stalham the party was obliged to
take refuge in a hotel, which was be-
sieged by a mob. Police were dispatched
to the rescue from North Walsham, Nor
witch and Yarmouth aud Mr. Haggard
and his friends were rescued at 2 o'clock
this morning.
The mob which besieged the hotel
numbered about 800 persons and fed as
soon as the police appeared and Mr. Hag-
gard returned to the North Walsham
escorted by mounted police. Miss Hart
cup however was too i'll to be moved and
was compelled to remain at the hotel.
Upon arriving at Walsham Mr..
Haggard received an evasion and
made a speech in which he said
that in all his travels he had not
seen such dsstardIy conduct Mr.. Hag-
gard, however, was defeated, the vote
standing as follows:
East Norfolk. R ]. Price, Liberal, sit
ting member, 4.608; H. Rider Haggard,
Conservative, 4,4O8. Liberal majority,

Whether or not it is good policy to
roast ball players seems to be divided
question in the newspapers Of this league.
Some of the papers get after their

after losing game or two. Here in
Lincoln the papers have been very lem
lent with the locals, and it seems to me
that the boys appreciate it and try their
best to play winning ball. Constant

poor team work.
