Teachers, Meeting

The May6eld Teachers aud Student
Association will render its first pro-
gram for this winter In the school
building at Mayfeld on Saturday
night, November 3Oth.
A good program has been prepared
especially along the line Of literary
exercises, and there is no doubt but
that the teachers part OF the pro-
gram will be more instructive II not
as entertaining.
The Milan school has promised It's
support Of the work and with the aid
Of the surrounding districts, several
Of which are 70 help, it surely promises
to be entertaining as well as highly
edifying. We believe that 1t carries
with it the right idea Of school work,
that Of the association of teacher and
pupil.
All are invited to attend, especially
parents, and patrons Of schools and
lend us your help by your presence If
nothing more and always bear In
mind that we are propagating the
corner stone TO good citizenship and
thereby to our enlightened nation.

Whose Money Is II?

A suit to determine the ownership
OF quite good sum OF money for
these times was brought in district
court last Saturday by j. D. Simpson.
clerk Of the court. The Santa Fe
road on that day paid into the clerks
hands s3,9lS.50, the amount of the
judgment with interest and costs, Sc
cur eddy W. T. Henry, Of Mayfield,
against the company as damages for
personal injuries received by being
elected from passenger train on the
defendants road. The finding and
Judgment, which was obtained in the
district court" "in October, 1890, was
affirmed by the supreme court a few
weeks ago. Mr.. Henry has no longer
any claim on the money, having as
signed his interest in the Judgment
TO various parties. The records show
a lien Of $500 against it in favor Of ].
L, Grider and d. N. Caldwell for at
torneys' fees, also an assignment of
a one half interest in the judgment
to j. E. Halsell in satisfaction of a
similar claim. Subsequently, the
plaintiff, Henry, executed two assign
mentS, each covering One-half the
Judgment to the Wellington National
bank. Mr.. Simpson, being unable to
decide amidst these conflicting as
signmentS TO whom the money be-
longs, brings suit to have an equitable
apportionment and division made by
the court among the several claim
ants, the cost Of the action to he
taken out Of the judgment money
now In his hands.-MonitOr. Press.
The popularity about the suit is
that it was brought before anybody
had made any demand upon Mr..
Simpson for any of the money. Asa
matter of fact tie conflict between
the assignments was only an appar-
ent one. There was no actual con-
troversy among the several claimants
for this money; they had a perfect
understanding among themselves.
Last Saturday they went together to
the district clerks office and called
for their money and got every cent Of
it. Mr.. Simpson will pay the costs Of
the suit he brOught.-Mail.

The Glaman.C Case Joint Trial.

Tomorrow is the time set for the
trial Of AL Glaman and Lon Case
charged In four courts with violating
the prohibitory law. They have de-
manded a jury trial. The facts about
their arrest seem to be as follows:
These two men have been conducting
a place on South Washington avenue.
On Sunday night, the 17th inst, as
City Marshall c. G. Shawver was COM
ing up street hatless man came rush.
ing through the alley lust north Of
their place and almost ran into the
marshall. Mr.. Shawver stopped the
man and inquired what was wrong.
He said he had just been robbed in
there; that they had sold him whis-
key and got him full, then they robbed
him Of $40 in money. Just about that
time AL. Glaman came to the front
door and asked what was wrong.
Among other things Shawver told
him that this man claimed that they
had sold him whiskey. Glaman re-
piled: "Well, l did sell him four
drinks Of whiskey."
OF course Shaver reported the
matter to the county attorney and
the arrests followed. The man who
bought the whiskey and claims to
have been robbed is named Winn and
belongs to the Southern Kansas rail-
road steel laying gang. He has been
subpoenaed for the trial tomorrow
and proposes to be present. We
do not know whether Winn or
anyone else has ever been robbed in
the den, but for some time past the
place has had the reputation of being
as tough and dangerous hell-hole as
any on the face Of the earth. There
have been repeated rumors of men be-
ing drugged and then robbed there.
But as a rule they have teen ,men
who, because Of their social relations
or Of the positions they hold, prefer
red to quietly submit to the losses and
iDdignities they had suffered rather
than expose themselves by making
any complaint or prosecuting the
II one-fourth Of these
rumors bel true, every man connected
with the management Of this den Of
ought to be and could be sent
TO the penitentiary for a life time.
At any rate, it is Of no good to the
community and we hope to see it CON-
pletely broken up now that the law
has got its clutches on it.-Mail, 25th.

The football game between the Wei.
lingtCn high school team and the
Winfield team was rather unsuccess-
full to the high school team. 1t was a
good game nevertheless, and the play
showed that in team work the clubs
were about evenly matched in play.
Where Wellington lost much of her
advantage was in fumbling the oall at
critical points Of the game. In the
first half it was Winfeld's kickoff.
Wellington got the ball and would
have pushed it through for a touch
down had it not been for one Of those
destructive fumbles which gave Win
field the ball. Winfield kept the ball
most Of the time after that. We'll
lington got 1t once and quickly made
a touch down, which showed that If
the high school team had not been
handicapped by the continual loss Of
the ball, they could have scored with.
out trouble. Wellington did not
score In the first half. In the last
half, they got the ball and scored
their only touch down, failing on
their try.at-goal. Winfield made
three touch downs and kicked a goal
making a total score Of IA. Final
score IA to in Winfeld's favor. The
game was a fine one. When time was
called on the last half, the ball was
10 Wellington's possession and was
going toward Winaeld's goal at a
rapid pace, The game throughout
was characterized by gentlemanly
playing. The Winfield boys not only
know how to play foot ball, but they
also know how to act like gentlemen.
They are so far as we can learn a very
gentlemanly set Of players and know
how TO treat visiting club with re-
spect. That is the way to play foot
ball. The only injury received by any
one was received by Lowther of the
Winfield team. He had his knee
quite badly sprained and was con-

interesting although much Of the
time was occupied in quibbling over
minor points. The parliamentary
drill was excellent, while the proceed

The session was unsuccessful as con.

was consumed in discussing points Of
order. The next session will doubt
less be one Of the most interesting of
the season as some new work will
