distribution OF the proceeds Of mort,
gagged goods OF the estate of John
Guam. all the parties to the suit hold
Ing chattel mortgages against the
goods. The district court awarded a
larger portion to the bank than the
plaintiffs thought was just and the suit
was for a redistribution.

ion by Groesbeck. chief justice.
The case OF Hattie J. Knight versus
the Beckwith Commercial company. ap.
pealed from Sweetwater county, was
reversed and remanded for trial. The
suit grew out Of a demand OF the Beck,

court holds that the company was
making the arrangement and not en-.
titled to compensation.
In the case Of the First National

trict No. l Of Crook county. the judy
ment of the lower court was affirmed.
In 1891 the treasurer OF the school dis.
trict deposited in a Crook county bank
funds to pay warrants held by the
Deadwood National bank, which later
was consolidated with the First Ma
tional. The Crook county bank failed
with the school money still on deposit.
The treasurer claimed he had notified
the owners Of the warrants to send
them to the Crook county bank for
payment, and that the failure to do this
relieved the school district from fur,
Their liability. A Crook county jury de-
cided in favor OF the school district,
which verdict is affirmed by the su-
preme court. =

HARRISON TALK.
Great Effort Being Made to Bring Him
Out as a Candidate.

Indianapolis, March 30.-Leading Re
publican politicians here note the in
crease in the Harrison talk. They hear
that some of the generals political
friends in the state have recently re-
ceiVed letters from other states, sug-
costing that it looks more and more
as if the general will be the choice of
the st. Louis convention. 1t is related
that some time ago the general, in dis
cussing the possible action of the ST
Louis convention with his friends, said:
1T is one thing to enlist; it is another
thing to be drafted. I should not
wish to go through the Atlantic cam
paign again, but if I should be draft
ed L would go without murmuring.'
An effort is to be made to prevent
1nd1ana's thirty-two votes going to
Mckinley on the first ballot Anti
Mckinley men in other states have
suggested that if Indiana will not give
him solid vote his nomination can
undoubtedly be prevented, and the
convention shaped up for Harrison.
The policy which the state shall
pursue at the convention will be one
of the things considered at the state
convention. The subject may not
come before the open convention. but
the party managers will decide at that
time what is best to be done. It is an
parent that there will be bitter oppo-
s1t1on to any effort to instruct the
delegates at large

INsPECTs FOREIGN CANALS.
Col. Ludlow is Certain That the Mica

London, March 30-Colonel William
Ludlow, military attache of the Ameri-
can embassy at London, sent by the
government to inspect the various Eu-
ropean canals, with the view of re-
porting their working. in comparison
with the proposed Nicaragua canal,
said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press regarding his inspection:
The inspection proved a laborious
though interesting undertaking.
have thoroughly inspected the Suez ca
nal, and the officials of that company
did everything to assist me and placed

might thoroughly see it's workings. Its
profits must be enormous. In fact, no
one knows exactly what they are Take
England's share in the concern, for in
stance While England does not own a
majority of the shares, yet its income
from this source alone would suffice
to maintain some kingdoms.

working of the Corinth canal.
Il also thoroughly inspected the new
German canal. This is a wonderful
affair, and Germany can now use her
navy in both seas
Asked as to his opinion of the feast
bility of the Nicaragua canal after
viewing the workings of the others,
Col. Ludlow said: II am more than
ever convinced it is feasible. But until
my report is submitted 1 am unable to
make any detailed statement

The regulation campaign story of
mobbing and intmdating Negroes in
the south for political reasons has
started earlier than usual this year.
The first one comes from Louisiana,
where it is reported that an armed
body of 300 white men held possession
of the registration office all day, so
that not a colored man registered, and
then killed a few of them on the way
home just as a matter of principle and
TO keep their hands in. There is the
best of reason for believing that near
ly all these stories are false because
there is no necessity for controlling the
Negroes it may safely be charged to
easier to count it or throw it out as
the interests of those in control of the
election machinery may require and
that is the way it is done all over the
south. When there is any killing of
Negroes vote in that way. It is much
other causes than political ones.

THE CITY ELECTION.

AS the time for the city election ap-
proaches the people think about their
duty to themselves and the city.
An unusual thing has happened this
year. There is almost no contest on
the Republican ticket. This means that
the nominees are good men for there
are always people anxious to sacrifice
themselves if they see a real or fancied
weakness in a candidate.
There are five councilmen to elect
and so far as the city is concerned
their positions are by far the most inn
portant of any. While their salary
amounts to almost nothing their posi-
tions are important in an inverse ratio
1t is to be regretted that a fight is
being made on Councilman Pattison of
the First ward. Councilman Pattison
has made an excellent record and de-
serves a reelection. He has dared to
do what he considered right and he
has not erred in judgment. AS chair
man of the finance committee he has
carefully looked after the interests of
the city. He is a safe, conscientious
worker in the interests of the tax pay
ers and can be fought on no good issue.
The people should send Councilman
Pattison back because he has been
tried.
In the Second ward Councilman
Stephenson is also being opposed but
the opposition is not pronounced.
Councilman Stephenson has been care
full in looking after the interests of his
ward; he has never forgotten that he
represented the Second ward. He has
made a good councilman and the peo-
pie would make a mistake if they
turned him down though his opponent
is a man against whom nothing can be
said.
c. H. NetteIs will have no opposition
in the Third ward. He will be one of
the youngest members in the council
but he will be one of the leaders in
that body. Councilman Burgess of the
Fourth ward will be reelected with
out opposition. He has served the city
long and faithfully and there can be
no more deserving compliment than
a unanimous election. J. 8. Warner
will also be elected from the Fifth ward
without opposition. He is a business
man with a good record and will be
one of the strongest members in the
city council.
There will be no contest on the Re
publican candidates for school board
and the bitter fight in the primary will
be forgotten.
There will also be very little oppo-
sition to the Republican candidates
for constable and the three nominees
of the Republican primary will be
elected without a doubt. They are w.

Stonestreet

The protest of the temperance people
of Iowa against the use of wine in
CHI listening the new battleship was of
no avail, and Miss Drake broke the
customary bottle of champaign over
the ships PROV 1t is such ridiculous at
tempts to NEEDLE with matters which
are of no consequence, by the friends of
temperance that do the cause for which
they labor more harm than anything
else. The breaking of a bottle of wine
on such an occasion will not lead any
body into the use of the liquor as
beverage any more than will the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper and this
action of the temperance people in con-
nection with the affair is calculated to
lose them much of the respect felt for
them by a large body of liberal minded
persons.

The position Of the people who urge
a tariff as a means of revenue and
at the same time deprecate the impor-
tation of foreign goods must seem ano-
malous to the average voter who is
not a ''financier'' and is supposed to
know nothing of economics. r. G. Dun
& Co. report a falling off of per cent in
importations for the past three weeks,
from the figures of the same period
last year and call it encouraging. 1t
surely cannot be regarded as encour-
aging to the treasury which seemed
about to make ends meet at last. John
Sherman says that lack of revenue is
what ails the country and John is pop
ularly supposed to know all about such
matters. Then it naturally follows, if
there is a falling off in importations
there must be a corresponding decrease
in revenue receipts, making matters
still worse for the country. Where will
Dun & Co. find the encouragement
which they mention?
