But of Tax Payers.
The past due bonds and coupons of
the city were sold yesterday to Splitter
q Co, bond brokers of Toledo and Bos-
ton.
The sale was made at a premium
which shows that the east has still
faith in the integrity and ability of the
Peerless Princess to pay its obligations
and maintain its credit before the
financial world.
w. G.. Barnett, the financial agent Of
the company, was in the city and COM
pleted the deal with the members of the
financial committee and both sides
were happy over the negotiations last
night
The transaction amounted to the sum
of $1,000 and represented the unpaid
interest on railroad bonds, sewer bonds,
interest and part principal in paving
bonds and the interest on general i'm
provement bonds. These obligations
remained unpaid simply on account Of
the failure of property owners TO pay
their taxes. It was not because prop
erty owners Were unable to pay their
taxes that they did not do so. but SIM
ply because of the law which offers an
inducement to delinquency. According
to the present law money is more valu-
able TO let out on interest than it is to
invest in tax titles and the result is
that the county is compelled to buy in
property sold for taxes instead of pri-
waite individuals as heretofore. The re-
suit is that property owners permit
their property to go to sale rather than
pay the taxes on it for they know they
can redeem it whenever they want to
at less expense than the value of the
interest on the money invested in pri-
vate loans.
When the deal was completed yester-
day afternoon City Clerk Smith sent
out twenty-seven kilograms to the pres
ent holders of the securities to send
them at once to Wichita for payment.
Splitter & Co. have deposited money
here for the payment of the securities
and for every obligation paid they will
be given one of the new bonds.
The new bonds are issued for twenty
years and viii bear interest at the rate
of per cent. which is exactly what the
city is paying on the matured obliga-
tons which are being taken up.

The Casey Divorce Case Will be Argued To
morrow in Judge Reeds Court.

morrow in Judge Reeds Court.
The Casey divorce case came up In
the district court yesterday and tomor-
morrow at o'clock pm. was set to hear
arguments.
This case has caused a good deal of
interest and there will doubtless be a
large crowd present Monday to hear
the arguments.
The court is loaded down with bust
ness. Judge Reed can hardly find time
to go to his dinner. Judge Reed has
averaged four night sessions in the
week for the last nine months. When
this hard work will cease cannot be
even guessed as cases continue to be
filed.

CHINA LIKES HIS STYLE

GREAT FALLS, Jan. The San Fran
cisco EraBliner of a recent date contained
biographical sketch of Mort MEG fin,
the commander of the Chen Yuen, the
largest warship in the Chinese navy,
which has aroused considerable interest
here since it became known that ho is a
cousin of Nat and Abe MEG fin, two we'll
known citizens of Sand Coulec. He is SO
years of age and native of Washington,
Pa, famous as the birth place OF James
q. Blaine.
the commanders father was a great
friend of the late secretary of state, and
it was largely through the latter's infiu-
encc that Mort McGIffln was enabled to
take a course at the naval academy at
Annapolis. He continued with the United
States navy for several years after gradu-
ating, until the breaking out of the
Franco-Chineso war, when he resigned
from the service and went with letters of
Introduction to China. He presented the
same to Captain Mannix, who had organ
lied the Chinese marine corps. The cap-
tain referred him TO the viceroy, Ii Hung
Chang, who, in course of time, became so
attached to The young American that he
placed him in command of a gun boat.
In the naval battle of Yangize he cap
tured the only French gunboat that was
lost in the war.
After the war he vas sent TO England to
superntend the construction of four IRON
clads, among which was the Chen Yuen,
which he afterward commanded. In
times of peace Commander McGiffin lives
in palace at Shanghai, surrounded by
10 servants

THERE'LL BE A SCRAP
That Is The Prediction Concerning The
Oregon Short Line
THE UNION PACIFIC OBJECTS
Upon the Application for the APP
pointment OF a Separate Re-
celver a Big Legal Battle
Was inauRurated.

OMAHA. Neb., Jan. There is going to
be an all-round fight for the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern railroad, the re-
ceivers of the Union Pacific having about
made up their minds to contest the appli-
cation of the American Loan & Trust
company for n separate receiver. There
will be a meeting of the receivers in New
York next Tuesday, at which time a plan
of action will be decided upon. General
Solicitor Thurston will probably go on to
New York in order to attend the meeting.
and will possibly represent the receivers
when the application is taken up by Judge
Gilbert on Jan. 10. 1t is also thought the
attorney general will intervene on the
ground that the leasing of the Short Line
to the Union Pacific would depreciate the
second mortgage the government holds
on the Overland" property.
With the filing of tho application on tho
part of the consolida ed mortgage bond
holders for a separate receiver, five dis
tinct suits have been commenced by the
mortgage interests in the Short Line pro-
perty. Four of these interests have been
satisfied with the appointment of the
present receivers of the Union Pacific.
and it is not likely that the American
Loan & Trust company, which is thought
to be hostile to the present management,
will be able to change the existing condi-
tons.
For a time it looked as if the Short Line
would be allowed to drift away without a
struggle. but now, however, the line of
battle is forming, and the American Loan
d Trust company Will have good-sized
fight on its hands.

WOOL,
In Some Grades the Demand Is Fairly
Brisk in Boston.

In Some Grades the Demand Is Fairly
Brisk in Boston.
BOSTON, Mass, Jan 1.-The American
Wool aud Cotton Reporter will say to-mor-
row of the wool trade: The market for
fine domestic fieeces is good. While the
demand is very quiet there is a fair in
quiry for three-quarters blood and more
or less business in medium woods, which
are fairly firm in price. Pulled and
secured woods have been in good request.
The feature of the week has been Austria
liam, however, of which there has been a
considerable sale, there being a run on
fair goods for which a hotter feeling OBJ
tains abroad; but no great improvement
is anticipated unless they get heavy Amer
lean orders, which is deemed doubtful.
An establishment of wool prices is not
looked for until the March sales in Lon
don. The sales of the week amount to
1903 ,45O pounds of domestic and / AS 500
pounds of foreign, a total of 1853, $50
pounds, against total of 9, go, 800 pounds
for the corresponding week last year.

New YORK. Jan. 2.-Statements have

statements, Miss Pollard has requested
publication of the following:
