DE BARROWS SUES AGAIN.
The Man Who Slew Joel d. Ross at
ROSSViIIe
ASKS DAMAGES OF THE UNION PACIFIC

For Injuries While in the Employ of
the ComPany-Other Court House
News.
Richard De Barrows, or de Barrios, the
Portuguese who killed Joel D. Ross on
the Mulyane ranch, was in town today
from Rossville to swear to the papers in a
suit for damages against the receivers of
the Union Pacific Railway company.
The suit was filed this morning in the
district court. It is for $4,000 damages
for injuries sustained by being run into
by Z. P freight while he was trying to
get hand car off the track. The acct
dent occurred near Rossville on Nov. 1S
1895. DeBarrows asserts that the train
was an "extra," of which the hand car
crew had not been Informed, and that he
was removing the CAT by reason of the
orders of the section foreman. He was
injured severely and confined to his bed
for four weeks.
This makes $4,000 that DeBarrows is
asking in the district court. He has al
ready sued J. R and Joab Mulvane for
$4,000 for the attempted eviction from
the Mulvane ranch in which Ross was
fatally shot
The Rossville man visited the county
Jail, in which he spent three months, this
morning and called on w. E. Dom, of
whom he thinks great deal. DeBar-
rows says he has been unable to work
since the accident and is not now doing
anything.

JOHN A. MARTIN DID 1T.

j. w. Gleed Calls Attention to a Time
When Kansas Governor Enforced Law.
Mr.. J. W. Gleed, chairman of the
committee on resolutions of the state
temperance union, said yesterday at its
session:
1--WE have an idea that if we had a man
for governor who would go forward with
his eye on the law and duty instead OF on
the voters it would be all right.
81 was in Leavenworth when the late
John A. Martin was giving that town a
little executive assistance and there was
not an open saloon in the place.
To-day Leavenworth has higher taxas
and less to show for it than any city in
the state. Let the law be enforced in
Leavenworth and the town viii begin to
put on new clothes. All we need is a
man to go into the office of governor
with courage and in good faith TO execute

BERNARD KELLY SPEAKS.

Says the First Wichita Police Board Was
Appointed to Let Saloons Run.
Rev. Bernard Kelly was one of the
speakers for the metropolitan police law
at the meeting of the State Temperance
union. He said: 81 have it from high
authority and produce the proof if nee
missioners appointed at Wichita (by
Governor Morrill) were appointed with
the understanding that they were to al

have heard Mr.. Campbell say that he
could not have done the work he has
lately accomplished at Wichita under
the first board. The facts are we have
got to HAY the right kind of appointing
power" Mr.. Kelly said Topeka had
been fortunate in having the right kind
of commissioners.

TO CHANGE QUARANTINE LINE.
Secretary Morton Upsets Kansas Live
Stock Boards Plans and Line.

Secretary Morton Upsets Kansas Lii We
Stock Boards Plans and Line.
It will probably now be necessary to
reduce all of the rules and regulations
for 1896 passed by the State Live Stock
Sanitary board to ashes and issue new
set.
The new rules have been issued very
little more than a week.
The trouble lies along the quarantine
line and comes principally from the
Office of Secretary Morton.
The line of 1895 cut Texas and the In
dian Territory about in half from north
east to south west and took off a big strip
of northern Arkansas.
1t occurred to Mr.. Morton that he could
better enforce the quarantine regulations
if he put the line along state lines in
stead of county tines. This he did but
there was a great uproar in Texas and
Governor Culberson promised that if the
line was restored SO that cattle from the
north and western parts of the state were
on the safe side of, the line, he would
protect it if he had TO call out the rang
ers. II had been almost impossible to
enforce it before. This the secretary
agreed to do, and the line has been re-
stored to its 1895 position.
This entirely upsets the Kansas boards
arrangements. which were based on the
1895 government line, aud it will have to
do its work over again.
A meeting has been called for Friday
to consider it.

THE FORT WAYNE BID.
Mr.. Wilson for His Company Makes
Another Staten ent.

Mr. Wilson for His Company Makes
| Another Statement.
| The Capital having constituted itself
| committee of one to settle the electric
| light matter, it becomes necessary TO cor
rect some of the fragrant misrepresenta-
| tions of that breezy sheet
First-In a recent issue the Capital
stated that the present city plant was in
stalled by the Fort Wayne people. The
plant was installed by an Indianapolis
| concern, and that fact was well known
to the Capital.
second-As to the weight of the
various machines. The type and
method of construction has more
to do with the efficiency and
| durability of dynamo than the weig hit.
The Excelsior 100 light dynamo weighs
$500 pounds. The Brush weighs 1900
pounds, and both are considered far su-
perior to the Western Electric.
Third-The fact that over one half of
the arc lamps in the United States are
of the Wood" system should be suffi.
cient evidence that the system is recog-
nized as the best
Fourth-The automatic safety devices
offered by the Western Electric company
is an impractical scheme for talking pur-
poses only.
Fifth-The city engineer sent care
fully prepared specification to bid
ders. No safety devices were
called for in those specifications.
Hoods and hanger boards were called for
but the Western Electric company did
not see fit TO furnish them. My ibid" is
strictly in accordance with the specifica-
tions; their bid is not.
Sixth-As to the alleged superiority of
the Western electric apparatus, 1 wish
to say that we have recently replaced
their machines with those of the "Wood"
system at the following places: Toledo,
o., fourteen machines; New Castle, Pa,
four machines, and Mansfield, o., four
machines.
If the city of Topeka wants Western
electric apparatus they can purchase any
of the above for $40 per light capacity.
Seventh-If the Hood were omitted
from the Fort Wayne "bid" it would
read $12, 1875. and is the lowest bid.
Eighth-The Western Electric COM
pany offered recommendations on their
apparatus from Russell Harrison, Terre
Haute, Ind, and the city of Detroit, city
of Hamilton, o. The machines in use at
those places are entirely different from
what they are trying to sell here, as will
be seen by comparing their catalogue
and the photographs accompanying their
bid. None of the three parties referred
to by the Western Electric company has
had the apparatus in use over one year.

tasteful to me-" said County Attorney II,
C: Stafford to reporter II would rather
appear for the defendant, sometimes.
The law places such restrictions upon the
prosecution that it is a constant strain to
watch every point and drive it home.
Then prosecutor has to overcome
the feeling that the judge is against him.
The court has to instruct according to
the law and it makes a states attorney
feel as though the instructions were
dead against him. And it is right that
such restrictions are put upon the prose
cution for everyone comedies that it is
better to let nine guilty men escape than
to convict one innocent person.

DICK BLUE IS REBUKED.
Although Severe Resolutions Censur-
ing Him Are Tabled.
THE MAJORITY is VERY SLIH,

Showing That Republicans of Butler
County Are Indignant at His Words
and Actions In Congress.
Ell DORADO, March 5.-Congressman-
at-Large Richard Blue received severe
rebuke at the Republican county conven-
ton held here to select delegates to rep
resent Butler county in the congression-
al convention at Emporia and in the state
convention at Wichita
The committee on resolutions returned
two reports. The majority report was
signed by three members, and the minor
ity report was signed by two members.
The majority report affirmed adher-
| ence, to the cardinal principles of repub-
hcAnism, protection and reciprocity, but
| demanded equal protection to all classes
and industries.
That VIM. Mckinley is the logical and
patriotic candidate for president and del
! egates. should be instructed to use all
| honorable means to secure his nominR-
tion.
That Charles Curtis by his fidelity to
party principles is heartily endorsed for
denomination.
1t was the minority report that admin
istered the rebuke to Dick Blue. 1t re-
cited
First-That we reaffirm the cardinal
party principles, protection and recip-
rocity and demand protection equally for
all classes and industries.
Second-We heartily endorse Congress
man Charles Curtis.
Third-We demand the restoration of
silver 16 to 1 to its constitutional money
by the side of gold.
Fourth-Richard Blue has misrepre-
sented Butler county on every possible
occasion; offered gratuitous insult to the
intelligence of the rank and file of the
Republican party by insinuations of dis
honesty to those who do not agree with
him in his efforts to foist gold standard
on long suffering people, therefore we
request acd demandl that the party and
state be not disgraced by placing his
name on the Repu blican ticket.
Fifth-The United States senate is the
highest law-making power and we urge
our legislature that it exercise greater
care in selecting Kansas members and to
not send any more week-kneed acct
dents or railroad attorneys to represent
US at Washington.
Sixth-We are opposed to instruction
of delegates to convention but favor
men as delegates of good report and
Piles and ideas whose moral standing is
such that they may safely be relied upon
to deal justly and honorably with the
masses.
The minority resolutions brought
discussion and the resolutions were final
ly laid on the able by vote of 35 to 48.
Section of the minority report was
adopted with the majority report.
