Dick Chase Says POpulists VIII Take Up
LewelIing Again.
Ex-Warden Dick Chase came to town
today. He says that he is now farming
III Cowley county and attending to busi-
ness.
He is keeping his eye on the political
situation and knows which way the
wind is blowing in the Populist camp
81 am satisfied" said he, that the senti-
ment is crystallizing in favor of Jewell
ing for governor next year. l know
that there are objections to him
but take everything into consideration,
doubt if we could do better. If Gov.
Morrill, is nominated I want to see L.
yelling put up by the Populists and
suppose that the Republicans will re-
nominate Morrill,
"The people in our part of the country
want Senator L. P. King to run for gov
ernor and our county will give him the
delegation if he wants it, but do not
believe he can be persuaded to make the
race"

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Gonzales Que

RECEIVER NOT ARECEIvER

In the Controversy Oyer the Larned
Waterworks Federal Rsosiver is Dis
placed.
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 25.-1n 1898 Col.
R. L. Sims was appointed receiver of the
Davidson Investment company of this
city on a suit for money brought before
United States Judge Williams. In April,
1895, suit to foreclose a mortgage on the
Larned water works was begun, and J.
w. Rush was appointed receiver by the
state court, and took possession OF the
plant, throwing out the man whom he
found in possession Rush was ordered
to appear before Judge Williams and
show cause why he should not be COM
milted for contempt in interfering with
and dispossessing a receiver appointed
by federal judge.
Judge Williams ruled that the court
had no power to appoint a receiver, and
therefore erred. and that Rush was le-
gally in possession of the Larned prop
erty.

A DESERTER'S ESCAPE.

Deserter Williams is Not Dead and Sol
diers Helped Him Escape.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25-Considerable of a
sensation has been occasioned here by
the announcement that Lieutenant Will
liam Blow, stationed at Fort Sheridan,
had received letter from C. Williams,
the deserter who made his escape at the
time Private Coffee was shot in the head.
Williams letter to the lieutenant is as
follows:
WINDSOR, Ont, Sept :.
LIEUT. BLoW:-As you will observe, 1
am not dead, nor am l wounded, az you
would have the public believe. 1t is not
my intention to remain in Toronto or
30 return to the states It is my intent
20 proceed at once to Cuba, where l will
enlist in the insurgent army. There l
will have some satisfaction in becoming
a target for bullets, for it is better to be
shot down fighting for freedom than to
be murdered by comrades while trying
TO escape from prosecution and tyranny.
c. WILLIAMS
In another letter to private Williams
tells a remarkable story of his escape.
He says he and Coffee were well pro-
vided with money, each having about
$50, After the break for liberty, when
he heard the first shot fred, he knew
Coffee had been hit, for he
heard him cry out The second shot
passed under Williams arm, cutting the
skin on the left side.
''As soon as l regained my feet" he
says, 81 made bee line for the old fort.
and hid there until night, when l went
into Highwood and took the train for
Milwaukee.
when the companies were scouting
for me several of the boys passed so close
to me that l could touch them. One OF
them saw me. and told me to get out OF
sight, while another gave me piece OF
tobacco. When it was dark 1 got an old
suit of clothes, and then met several OF
she boys in Murphy's. where they told
me that Coffee was killed"

Cuban ROyaIists Grow More Bitter
Against This Country.
CHICAGO, Sept 25.-A Tribune special
from Havana under date of September
81, says:
"The feeling of the royalists against
the United States is growing daily, and
the most extraordinary statements are
almost publicly made. Day before yes
terday l had it on the highest authority
that one of the officials in command
said:
We have not soldiers enough here
now to finish with insurgents, but more
will come. We shall have an army Of
100000 men here in Cuba before we get
through, and then, with war here over,
we will give those d Yankees les
son they will not soon forget.
This sort of far talk is common here
and is believed by the people.
"The papers now openly assert that
the trial of the filibusters is a farce, and
that there is no real intention to punish
on the part of the United States
81 am assured that soon events of
startling magnitude and importance are
to occur in Havana"

NEEDN'T TESTIFY.
Q. S. Revenue Books Can't be Used as
Evidence in Liquor Cases.

u Sc revenue BOOKS can't D6 O8GQ as
Evidence in Liquor Cases.
WICHITA, Kas., Sept. 25.-Judge Will
Jams has made a decision of great i'm
portance to states where the sale of
liquor is prohibited by law. 1t was in
the habeas corpus case of Henry HUT
man, deputy Internal revenue collector.
A few day ago Mr.. Huffman, in the dis
trict court of this county. refused to
bring the books of his office into the
court as evidence against a man who
was charged with the sale of liquor, the
idea of the state being to show that the
man in question had secured retail
liquor dealers stamp and hence was a
dealer 10 liquor contrary to the state
laws.
He also refused to testify as to the con-
tents of the books. For his refusal the
judge of the district court held that he
was in contempt and committed him to
Jail. Mr.. Huffman gave as his reason
for refusing to testify that the rules of
the internal revenue department pro-
hibited its officers from testifying about
the department affairs. At the request OF
the commissioner of internal revenue, y.
S District Attorney Perry applied for q
writ of habeas corpus.
In passing upon the case the judge
decided that congress gave the com
missioner of internal revenue power to
fix the regulations of his Office and that
it was the clear duty of Huffman to obey
said regulations Huffman was given
his liberty. This was the first time the
issue has been passed upon by a federal
Judge and the decision is of special i'm
portance to Kansas.

AMERICANS GET IN AHEAD.
They Secure Mining Rights in Corsa
Ahead of the Jnpanase.

AheAd OF Inc Jhpanese.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 25.-A local pa
per has the following advices from
Toxic under date of September ID:
Much attention has been attracted in
japan by intelligence that the king of
Corea granted exclusive mining rights
in the province of Phyong- An-Do for a
period of twenty five years to an Ameri-
can trading company, firm well known
in the east
The only condition attached to the
grant is that the company shall pay one
fourth of its profits to the royal treasury.
The Japanese press accuse its Nationals
of want of enterprise for allowing them
selves to be thus forestalled by an
American firm.
