ncmical and effective transformation
of any kind of motive power into cleo
tricity and its reconversion into any
form of motion, and the extent of the
revolution Of existing methods became
entirely dependent on the distance
which can be traversed by what we
shall call the electric current, without
any serious diminution of the force OF
the original impulse.
The writer in the Ninteenth Century
claims that at the distance of one hun
dred miles there is loss of not moro
than 25 per cent of this electrically
transmitted power. On that statement
he bases an argument ON the e<pe-
diency of generating electrical ene,gy
at the mouth of the pit from which the
coal is mined, and transferring it
thence to whatever point at which its
power may be required 1t is claimed
that the TRANSFORMATION of fuel into
mower could be effected in a manner so
nearly perfect that there would be a
ratio of three-quarters of a pound of
coal 10 one actual or available horse
power of energy for the period of one
hour. The average consumption By
existing steam plants is said TO be not
less than Eve pounds of fuel for the
same actual power during the same
time. On the basis of English dis
tauces there would be n loss on the
transmission of this electric energy
from the Derbyshire or Staffordsbire
coal fields TO the midlands and the
metropolis of about 80 per cent, 80
that the given three-quarters OF a
pound would be increased 10 one pound
of combustible per actual horsepower
per hour Thus, the equivalent OF one
ton OF transmitted electrical power de-
Iivered in London would be equal "a

IT WAS WELL SOLD
SINGULAR REVELATION MADE IN
JUDGE REEDS COURT.
Some Boom Transactions are Brought to
Light--People Did Not Have Time to
Property is Twice Sold for the Same
Debt-Somebody Made Mistake and
Too Much Money Was Claimed--C. C.
Cummings or the Davidson Investment
Co.. or John G. Massey May Tell.

o., NJs
Yesterday when Judge Ruggles call
ed I'D a case in the district court in
which Mrs. Dermody had filed a
mechanics lein on a valuable piece OF
property he opened his eyes very wide.
Mr.. Ruggles opened his eyes VIDE
enough to see that he and his client
were several years behind the times.
And thereon hangs a story or the boom
which shows how little attention people
paid to titles when they were on the
top wave of a large sized speculative
real estate boom.
What MIR. Ruggies and the court
found out ives that somebody had been
doing rather more collecting than the
merits Of the case demanded, and when
put together it makes history some
thing like this-fguratively speaking:
During the boom when everybody
was making or loosing fortunes, Z. Z.
Cummings of Illinois, came TO Wichita
to make his fortune.
MIR. Cummings bought a valuable
piece of ground so feet front on Market
street in the third block south or
Douglas. He concluded to erect a
brick building on his property and
d
Davidson Investment company. the
money to be paid from time to time as
the building progressed.
Mr.. c. c. Cummings was to put $4,000
in the building in addition to the 81 1000
he was to get of the Davidson Invest
ment company, but when the building
was enclosed Mr.. Cummings had none
of his own money in it and the David
son Investment company refused TO
Cummings and got judgment for 5000.
the amount which they had advanced
on the note and mortgage for $4,000.
About this time Mr.. Dermody filed
a mechanics lein, and he considered
that his claim would come in ahead OF
the mortgage. The Davidson Invest
ment company got decree OF fore
closure and Dermody's claim hung fire.
Then in April, 1884, John G.. Massey
sued c. c. Cummings on a note secured
by mortgage and got a judgment for
20410 and a decree of foreclosure on
the same piece of property, and 1t Is
claimed for the same note and mortg-
age on which the Davidson Investment
company had secured judgment for
Sc, 600, all it had every advanced on the
mortgage.
And now Judge Ruggles and Mr..
Dermody are wondering where they are
at The property seems to have been
we'll enough sold and nobody is kicking
about it unless Judge Ruggles deter
mines to kick.
Under ordinary business rules Mr..
Cummings ought to have had his
mortgage after the first judgment was
satisfied, but people did not pay very
much attention to a little matter of
SIS. 900 those times and Massey claimed
that he had bought the mortgage of the
Davidson Investment company.

Uniforms Next Month.


All the new men employed on the
Wichita Electric railway will appear
in new uniforms next month.
The uniforms will consist or blue
suits with brass buttons and caps OF
the same color as the suits.
Superintendent O'Neill says that the
idea originated with the employees
themselves, but that he has always
been in favor of il.
A petition was handed to Mr.. O'Neill
last month signed by nearly all the
employees, asking that their hours OF
work be reduced and that a CORE
spending reduction be made in wages,
and also suggesting the uniforms.
The recommendation was adopted
and Mr.. O'Neill says the men are de-
lighted with the change and that they
give better service since they are
only required to work ten hours day.
1t gives several more men employment
and reducing the time to ten hours
cutting wages So a month, only costs
the company a little more money each
month and is much better for all con-

DON'T APPRECIATE OUR SHERIFF.
An Oklahoma Paper Objects to the Eagle
Story of the Capture Of Long.


Story of the Capture of Long.
Some time ago the Eagle published
an account Of the arrest of the despe-
RADIO Long in the territory by Sheriff
Royse.
The story was obtained at the sher-
IFS office and was creditable to the
bravery of Sedgwick county's sheriff as
he had shown great bravery in going
into Longs camp alone and getting his
man.
But now comes the Chandler, (Okla-
homa) Democrat which publishes the
Eagles account of the arrest with this
comment:
This wonderful sheriff from Kansas
was safely fortified In the Hotel Mitch
ell when the capture of Long was made
which was done by A. A. Beasler, as
sisted by Thomas Garner. The under
sheriff says he received nothing for
making the arrest. The people about
the Wichita court house need not be
anyways solicitous about their noble Cd
and brave CD sheriff.
