THEY WIN THE CASE
LORD AND THOMAS MUST PONY UP
THAT TEN THOUSAND.

They Can't Take Wichita's Money without
and Thomas Tried to Do--The Money
Was Given as Commission on n Trade
That Was Never Made--BentIey and
Ferguson Conducted the Case to Sue
cessful Observation-Disclosures Rem
deretl in Favor of the Board of Trade.
In 1883 the board of trade of Wichita
found itself the posSessor of a large
amount of real estate which for the
most part was acquired by il TO be
used in securing and encouraging manu-
featuring and other enterprises. Much
of this property was sold for cash
which was expended in the directions
suggested by the dictatorship In Au-
gust of that year the board having
several obligations 10 meet and real
estate on hand, as appraised TO T. B.
Sweet OF Topeka, TO the amount Of
1925, coo. a committee of the directory
entered into a contract with Lord x
Thomas OF Chicago to dispose OF the
property for which they were TO re-
ceive $4,000 as a commission. Ten
advanced them on the 18th CT August,
1888. Lord G Thomas failed in their
deal and did not sell a dollars worth Of
the property. but refusing to return
the $4,000 advanced. The natter was
often up for consideration by the board
of trade directory and a correspondence
entered into, but the Chicago parties
claimed that as they considered that
they had earned that amount and there
fore would refuse TO refund. Later
the directors placed the matter in the
hands Of one of its members, Colonel
=. H Campbell empowering him TO
bring suit. In 1892 he having been one
of the original committee to the con-
tract and having a full knowledge OF
the whole transaction, retained the
firm of Bentley & Ferguson of this city
into whose hands he put all the papers
held by the board of trade in the case.
After securing affidyits and all the evil
dence possible, these gentlemen went
to work. The case was tried June .,
1894. The court held the case under adj
visement until Monday of this week,
when a decision was handed down.
This judgment finally rendered is in
favor of the board of trade. awarding
it the $4,000 with accured interest and
costs, amounting to something upwards
of $4,000. Bentley & Ferguson, one
and the other. have made several trips
TO Chicago and no doubt feel highly
gratified over their victory, as will
Colonel Campbell and the directory OF
the board of trade. Lord & Thomas
have given notice of an appeal within

In our Thanksgiving sermon in last week S
AG1TAToR, we said "The impious lie that
this is a prosperous people has become stale
Not only has it become stale, but it has done
incalculabe damage to retail dealers. So per-
sistent was the declaration that great wave of
prosperity was in sight INDUCED by the pluto
cratic papers that local merchants were deceiv-
ed by it, and, as result, bought largely from
wholesale dealers, thus giving color, for time,
to the persistent shout of good times. The
good times only reached the wholesale dealer.
Local merchants bought largely and have yet
the major part of their purchases OH their
shelves. Prosperity has not struck them.
The boom in business has not materialized.
Farmers can't buy largely on the profits from
sale of II cent-corn. Cost and receipts are
about stand-oh. Then, to add to the pres
sure comes tax-paying, and, with many, the in
terest on the mortgage. When these are met,
much OF the surplus will have disappeared.
So the producer will have to take up the old
tread-mill grind for another year to find him
self at the end of the year a little worse than
at the beginning, for he will have no gain and
be one year nearer that that period i'll which,
if he lives through the tread-mill grind, no
longer able to work. The outlook for the flu
ture is not bright.

Following is portion of a statement made
by Mrs. Helen M. Cougar to representative
OF the Nonconformist
"The present social conditions demand that
the people shall unite and assert their majesty,
thus securing their rights. The money power.
is determined to rule, and that they are so far
successful is evident to any but blind eyes.
The gold-bugs have so far been victorious for
they have complete organization backed by
millions Of il-gotten wealth. They have al
most completely subsidized the press. The So
called sound money club is flooding the
country with its literature and furnishing free
plate to those papers that are constituencies
enough to accept it. But the days of these an
archists are coming to close. The day is not
far distant when reformers will unite on a COM
mon platform and march together against
common enemy"

THE OUTDOOR GIRL.

What if the merry maiden goes a-ridin on the
wheel
And wears a graceful costume that is short
above the heel +?
Can any one gainsay it that though changed in
mode of dress,
She's of the gender feminine and not a whit
the less
And if she dons the bloomer or the knicker-
booker Clothes
Is not her person just as sweet as any bloom
ing rose?
What if the college maiden rows shell or
SOULS with oars
Or takes goal in football field or bowls upon
the floors ?
Is she any less a woman if her skin is very
brown
Than when she trailed her skirts in mud aud
wore high-necked gown?
And if she boxes out her foe or fences like a
man,
Lacks she any fascination, whate'er her scheme
or plan?
So far as all experience of men with women
For every ten of marriages nine are chock full
of woes.
The very latest woman, with her muscle,
brains or pluck,
May bring new joys to welded life and give us
better luck.
OF one thing l am certain from the widest.
range of view
Old fashioned types must stand aside and make
way for the new.
Thank heaven for the change that's come and
fascinating fads.

tine lads WILLIAM H. BALLOU.

NEW JERSEYS census for 1895, just COM

Where were the church members of New

honest effort to close groggeries on Sunday, the
best government that city has had in fifty years

they have the power to prevent it.-Topeka

That's exactly W hat we have been claiming

cense, notwithstanding the fact that the M. E..
conference said, 1.-THE liquor traffic can never
be legalized without SIM" The Prohibition
party only polled 1900 votes, SO most of the
church members voted for LICENSE. Now, I
am not condemning them for being church
members, but, like the Capital, for not living
up to their profession. If can prevent a muir
der and won't do it, then God will not hold me
guiltless. Neither will He you. Somebody is
going to give an account for all the misery that

As Haskell Saw II.

In 1877, during the special session of the
45th congress, the lamented Dudley c. HASKELL,
representing the Second Kansas district, in a
speech delivered on the floor of the house of
representatives on the demonstration of sill
yer, said
"We ask that Wall street, the Rothschilds
and the Barings shall no longer have control of
our financial legislation: and when | charge
that our legislation has been in the interest of
capitalists and the dealer of money 1 charge
that which can prove from the record, and
challenge successful contradiction
That the legislation Of the country has been
in the interest OF these classes ever since is Just
as true as it was at that time. Tire people are
demanding just as loudly to-day as they were
then emancipation from the rule of Wall street,
the Rothschids and the Barings. Neither of
the great political parties has, so far, shown
much disposition TO hearken to the demand,
and even the Leaders of both orgauiz-
atoms are laying plans to continue the rule Of
the bondholders and bankers by committing
their respective parties to perpetuaton of the
gold standard, and many of them are even adj
vocating the retirement of the greenbacks in
furtherance of the scheme.
How much longer do they think the people
will submit to this system of robbery TO

TAYLOR, the defaulting ex-treasurer of South
Dakota, was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment for stealing $500, 700 from the state. His
theft has made him a man of so much import
ance with the other state officials and their
hangers-on Tat they are turning the state
upside down TO secure him pardon. In Kan
sas City, little homeless darby was guilty of
petty theft. He was sent to prison for one
wear, where he took sick and died from neglect,
and yet, we are told, with disgusting reitera-
ton, that we are all equal before the law.

ruptiou and purder by former leaders who be-
trayed their trust. History has repeated itself,
and new party has been born as protest to
the corrap; class legislation foisted upon the
nation as Cleveland, SHERMAN, Patt, Quay,
Gorma4 and their co-laborers, which Is swiftly
passing American laborers, white and black,
over to a condition of serfdon. No amount of
pooh-poohing can Danish the fact. American
working men are not of hereditary bondage.

Ex-Gov. J. p St. John delivered his lecture,
"New York and its Suburbs" in the Baptist

IT was appropriate enough that Jim Cor
belts published intention to give up prize fight
ing should be followed by the announcement
from Governor Altgeld that he will withdraw
from public life at the close of his present term.
AS matter of fact, the prize ring and politics
both need reforming i'll this country.-Kansas
City Star.
The greatest-need reform is the reformation
of the editors of the Star and other papers
which have for years coupled the names O. !:len
prominent in this revolt against the money
changers and coupon-clippers with all forms of
brutality and lawlessness, when the fact is,
there is nothing for either class to engage in
for which the Star and its compress will not de-
fend or labor to deceive the people as to their
baneful effects, Men Of Governor Altged's
stamp are head and shoulders, intellectually
and morally and as patriors, above the dirt
cate q 10 attempt to belittle them.
