Fire at CONWAY Springs

A destructive fire visited Conway
Springs Wednesday. About midnight
fire brOk out in the oil house to the
rear of Wallis general store-J. NJ.
MasSey's old stand. Before the town
could be aroused the fire had spread
to the adjoining buildings and half
a block of the best business buildings
were destroyed, commencing at Nc
Kibben's hardware store on the east
and extendidg west to the alley Just
east of Dudley's building.
The heaviest loser is probably Root.
McKibben. He carried a large stock
of hardware, harness, etc. and lived
in the second story Of the building.
The building and all its contents we're
destroyed. Next west of McKibben's
came Wahl's general store and moth.
ing was saved from this building.
The pOSt-Office was next west of
Wahl's and Postmaster Milford Wood
kept confectionery in the front of the
room. Everything was a total loss
there also. DR.. Crees' drug store
came next. He carried very large
stock having recently consolidated
two stocks of goods into this one. He
saved only small portion of his
goods. VIM, Bright's barber shop
came next and was a total loss. Geo.
Rays building and restaurant were
next to the alley and were the last
to burn. DR.. Thomas Beal, the den.
fist, had his Office in the rear of this
building.
In the matter of waterwOrks, Con.
way Springs is even worse off than
Wellington and the bucket brigade
had to be depended upon to fight the
fire. The citizens turned out to a
man and fought the flames bravely

There was no occasion for putting
him behind the bars because there is
no danger of his going away. That is

A Rich Repast.

Miss Mona Thomson gave a
supper Friday evening in honor of her
friends, Misses Lille Porter and Mary
Humphrey, who are soon to leave fol-
Chicago to engage in missionary
work. Miss Thomson failed in nc
particular to please and entertain
her guests. One of the richest sup
pers of rare delicacies was served
which within itself was high honor
to the good taste of Miss Thomson as
well as a much appreciated compli
ment to the guests. The principal
amusement Of the evening was the
game of "literary leaves" Each per
son was presented with card anC
pencil. On the card were printed ;
number of questions to be answered
by the holder. Each question mus
be answered by the name Of an au
thor. The game was interesting
and instructive. There were present
Misses Lille, Mayme and Dorothy
Porter, and their cousin from Fl
Worth, Texas, Mary Humphrey

Chipchase in Jail.
Wichita Eagle 18th

NICuIla Eagle, l2tn.
ii. &. Chipchase, manager of the
telephone company of this city, was
constructively in prison last night,
having been arrested by Chief of Pc.
lice Massey under a warrant sworn
out by City Clerk c. S. Smith.
The cause of the arrest was a refus.
al OF Mr.. ChipchaSe to fpay a license
on all the telephones used in this
city as provided by the city ordinance.
The telephone company and the
city council have not been in full &C.
cord for several months and the com.
pany was once notified by a resolu.
tion of the city council to remove its
poleS.and wires from the streets and
alleys of the city.
The telephone company seemed to
think that they has rights under
their franchise that could not be dis.
posed of 10 summary fashion and
they refused to move.
The next move of the city council
was to pass an ordinance imposing a
license on every telephone used in the
city and this the telephone company
refused to pay or procure. The or.
dinance imposed a heavy fine fol-
every day the telephones are used
without first having secured a license,

The State VS.. Rain

A jury was secured in the state case
against John r. Rain by LEO o'clock
OF Monday, composed of the fOllt W.
ing members; L. W. Johnson, of
Jackson township, S. P. Aker and
Sidney Pickett Of Guelph, c. H..
Coryell of Downs, Allen Miller and
Hale Smith of Illinois, Ira B. Mason
and NJ. R. Jackson of this city. L. J.
Ives of Seventy-Six, Chas. D. L.
Watcher of South Haven, John At
kinSOn of Caldwell and J. c. ellis of
Conway Springs.
In this case the defendant is charg-
ed with perjury in testifying for the
defense in the case of the State VS..
Anderson Gray. The purpOrt of
Rains evidence was that on May ),
1894, the day Mcdonald killed Pat
ton, he and Frank Scudder were on
Gray's farm shooting plOyer. This
evidence was meant to show that the
shooting which the neighbOrs heard
on that morning was not Mcdonald
shooting at a mark, practicing to kill
Patton, as he had testified.
The prosecution claims that it can
prove that on Mays, 1894, Rain was
at or near Pond Creek in the Cherokee
strip, a hundred miles away from
Gray's farm, and consequently testi.
fed falsely in the Gray trial.
The theory of the defense has not
yet been made public, but if the init
nations that have reached us are re-
liable it is liable to &c much more
than ordinarily interesting.
The state commenced the introduc-
ton of its evidence just before noon
and will probably rest its case this
evening or early in the morning.

Council Meeting.

A call meeting Of the city council
was held Friday evening with Mayor
Savage and the following councilmen
present: Hunter. Maddy, Christian
son, Garland, Gelino and SaylOr. The
meeting was called for the special pur-
pose Of hearing the report of the
water committee and taking some
further action in the city'S case
against the water company. The
water committee reported WedneS-
days test Of the city water pressure in
about the same manner in which the
Mail reported it in Wednesday S
issue. The report was very satiSfac-
tory to the council and city attorney.
By way of miscellaneous matters,
E, r. DeYOe submitted verbal bid
on the erection Of an iron tower for
the fire bell. He offered to secure one
at Chicago for $50 or to put the same
tower up and hang the bell for $50.
The council also instructed Mr.. De-
Voc to send at once for a new nozzle
FOR the fire hose. The city fire COM
pany now have but five nOZZleS for the
hose, and in order to make the test
the ordinance calls for, they must
have six nOZZles. 1t was further adj
vised by the city attorney and order
ed by the council that another test be
made after the water Company'S agent
here has been given twenty-fOur hours
notice to put on all pressure available
This test will be the last. Attorney
James Lawrence was present and was
invited by the council tOadvise them,
which he did very ably. The attOr-
neys as well as the council think the
recent threat of the water company
to shut down is a big bluff. 1t is not
at all likely that the court would be
long in giving the city POSSESSION, if
the company should shut down. Mr..
Hunter made a rOnsing talk in which
he stated that he was as much de-
pendent on water to run his business
as any man in the city, yet he, for
one, would never consent to any de-
gree of compromise, nor even tolerate
such thought. This was the senti.
ment of the entire council. The
water company will fld that they
have struck a Snag this time and their
bluff won't win. The council dis
cuSSed the situation pro and con and
came to the conclusion that nothing
short of genuine justice would satisfy
them.

day night.
Evangelist BOles complimented the
people on the splendid attention and
good order throughout this meeting.
G. A. Branscombe brought his fami-
ly up from South Haven on Sunday
and will leave them in camp during
the week.
Miss Sallie Franklin was immersed
on Sunday afternoon in the creek in
the presence of a thousand or more
people. Rev. Weimer officiated.
The meeting will continue all this
week and over Sunday, Sept. p. The
last week promises to be of more in
terest than all the previous ones.
Seymour has erected a hack stand
at the gate and furnished it with
seats and shelter. Parties who have
to wait for hacks can now take it
easy.
The programme Of the day meetings
has been changed. The church insti-
tute will in future be held in the
afternoon at 2:3O and there will be no
afternoon meeting.
The lecture on Sunday afternoon,
Railroad to He'll, twas much enjoyed
by all present. Its counterpart,
Railroad to Heaven" last evening
was equally as good.
The lecture next Sunday, "Uncle
Sam is sick; what will cure him?i

ist promises that it will not be a tenn
perance lecture.

Chipchase Will Fight.
wichita Eagle. Is.

wichita Eagle, IL.
Last night c. V. Ferguson and City
Attorney George Adams went to To
peka to have fight to a finish before
the supreme court over that ordi-
nance imposing a tax of sl2 on tele-
phone instruments in business houses
and SO for instruments in residence
houses.
As stated in yesterdays Eagle Lo-
cal and District Manager Chipchase
was arrested for the violation of the
ordinance and las been constructive
ly in jail ever since. In the case of Mr..
ChipchaSe as in the recent case of
Chief Massey cOnstructively in jail
means not in Jail at all. 1t means
that he is free as the wind that
blows, but that he is supposed to be
in Jail. Mr.. Chipchase went about
his work as usual, rode his bicycle,
smoked stogies, drank milk shakes
and exercised all the privileges of a
free and unlimited American citizen.
Mr.. Ferguson will apply to the SUI
preme court this morning for a writ
of habaeS corpus to get Mr.. Chipchase
out of his constructive imprisonment.
In doing so he will attack the city or
dinance under which the arrest was
made from beginning to end during
which he will make three special AS
lSaultS on its validity. OF this one
will bring up a question that has
never been raised in the United
States court before viz: that a city has
no authority to impose a special tax
upon anything in operation under a
patent from the United States during
the existence of that patent. This is
an entirely new idea and many at
tOrneys will be interested 10 aScer-
tanning how it will work. The other
two points that will be raised are
that the tax imposed by the ordin-
ance is extremely excessive when COM
pared with The general scale Of taxa
tion and that the city has no authori-
ty to pass ordinances regulating an
interstate institution.
The attorneys for the telephone
company claim that as the telephone
system of Wichita extends into other
states besides Kansas, it is interstate
commerce and under the les islatiye
authority Of congress.
The city people claim that a great
many things all over the Uuited States
which have been deemed fit and prop.
er subjects for special taxation are
covered by patents from the United
States and if it is true that the Or
dinance is invalid on account of the
interstate feature the city would
have no power to govern railways
There is plenty Of argument on both
sides that is very clear to the attor.

judge Williams, in passing SEN
tence, said that the gray hairs of the
parents of Donaldson appealed to him
and hence the sentence was as lenient
as he could make it. He urged the
young man to do better in the future.
Mr. and Mrs. Sim Donaldson sat in
the court room. They are both very
worthy people, and their boys crime
was a hard blow to them. They are
as good people as live in Caldwell.
In the early days Mr.. Donaldson was
himself postmaster at Caldwell. He
was financially well fixed until the
boom struck the town when he in
vested a great deal of money in a hand
some stone block. He has daughter
however, who is quite rich and it is
thought that she will pay her broth
er'S fine and settle the other financial
obligations.
Walter Donaldson was never what
might be called bad boy. He mar.
ried when he was very young and bis
wife started a millinery store. He
stole money from the pOstotfice first
to help his wife in her business, ex
pecting to be able to pay it back, but
he was disappointed, and kept going
deeper and deeper till there was nc
hope of extracting himself.
