The Stolen Property.

Anson Miller, Of Gypsum City
Saline county, Kansas, accompanied
by another gentlemen, whose name
we failed to learn, arrived in the city
on Wednesday. They are friends ol
the father Of John Curry, alias Will
son, who is in our county jail. They
came after the stolen property anC
will start back with it today. By
making search they found the wag
on and harness which disappeared
with the team. The wagon was i1
the possession Of ]. F. B. Nallnel
near the round house. Mr.. Nallnel
had bought 1t Of Curry. Fl. R.
Wightman had the harness. He gave
Curry $40 for them.
These gentlemen say that Curry
belongs to an excellent family and
has himself been an exemplary citi-
zen up to about year ago. He was
kicked by a horse and it seems to
have transformed him. Since that
time be has been prone to steal every
thing he could get his hands on.

The Nigger in the Woodplle.

Governor Morrill, has declared that
there will be no special session Of the
legislature for the purpose Of appor.
tioning the state into legislative and

the governor is honest and in accord.
ance with the constitution, why do
his party papers feel it incumbent
upon them to print article after
article defending the governors
course and informing their readers
that no necessity existed for conven.
ing the legislature.
The governor gives as Ills reasons
for not convenlng the legislature,
that it is unnecessary and that it
would be expensive. Did he consider
any expense too great to justify the
numerous political investigations In.
stituted by him in order 10 remove
Populist officials, that his hungry
crowd might get to the pie counterP
No! Dees he believe the present ap-
portiOnment just, or 10 accordance
with the constitution? He knows IL
is not
Governor Morrill, has taken an oath
to obey the constitution, and that
constitution requires a special session
In 's6. Will he observe his oath by
obeying that mandate Of the constitu-
tion? he says he will not. Anarch.
lists are those who knowingly and
wilfully disregard the law. Why does
he not want the state re-apportioned?
He well knows that fourteen OF the
western counties that now have rep
resentatives, would not be entitled to
them under the constitution should
the state be re-apportiOned, and that
the Republican party would lose
twelve members, while the Populists
would lose but two, making differ
ence OF ten members In favor OF the
Populists, Also, that Jackson, a
strong Republican county, has two
members, while it never was entitled
TO but one; that the re-apportion-
ment Of the state would give the Pop
ulists at least eleven more members,
and the Republicans eleven less In
the organization Of the next house.
1t is only another Republican attempt
to steal the house, in violation Of the
constitution. This is Kansas Repub.
licauisml Perjury. Anarchy! And
they rely on political supreme court
to assist them in their infamous
work. JUSTICE.

War with the Telephone Company
at Wichita.

Tuesdays Eagle says the city coun-
Gil at that place Monday evening de-
clared war against the Missouri and
Kansas Telephone company, claiming
that the company were unwilling to
do the fair thing, wanted to fight and
that they were ready TO give them
their I'll. The Eagle says: 1.-THE
city clerk was instructed TO write to
all telephone companies with view
70 putting in a new system in Wich-
ita. 1t was reported from citizens at
Fort Scott that the Mutual Tele-
phone company Of that city was Civ
ing the best Of satisfaction and that
the Missouri and Kansas company
were furnishing their phones to the
patrons in that city at sl.OO per
month and that both companies we're
giving excellent service.
"a report was also made by a. B.
Wright that telephones were fur
nished at Joplin, Mo-, at the rate Of
81 90 per month, and that the COM
pany would gladly put in an exchange
at Wichita at the same rate"

The Tennesseeans.

The return engagement OF the Ju-

capacity OF the hall was tested. Seats
were placed on the rear and sides

numbers came in from the surround

many drove in from the country

The program kept the audience in
an uproar Of applause throughout
The greater part Of it was different
from that Of last Tuesday evening
several Of the same numbers were
sung again by request. "Hear Dem
Bells" one Of the most realistic and
catchy melodies written, was repeated
and listened 10 with intense interest,
and peremptory encore given by
the audience. Likewise the march
ing song enraptured the audience
with wonderful enthusiasm, ltwould
be difficult to particularize. All was
received with such manifest delight
by the audience that sncores were the
rule-not the exception.

Ed Corzine Gone.

Last night just at dark Ed COrzine
eluded Jailer Hinchcliffe and got
away again. During the day parties
had been at work whitewashing and
cleaning the interior OF the jail.
They had the tables and mattresses
all out and were late getting through.
Mr.. Hinchcliffe allowed Corzine TO
take the coal bucket and 90 into
the coal shed after coai. He brought
in two scuttles Of coal and went after
a bucket Of cobs. To get the cobs he
had TO 10 inside the bin. Mr.. Hinch-
cliffe kept an eye on him out Of the
window and not being able to hear
the cobs rattle as he did the coal.
after Corzine had been in the bin
long enough to be ready TO return he
started after him. He found that he
had crawled out the window and
gone, and was clear out Of sight. He
locked his prisoners in and sent fol-
Sheriff Heskett. Search was made
all around the depots and railroad
yards, but no trace Of him could be
found. Telephoning and telegraph
ing was done but they have received
no tidings Ofhlm yet.'
He was sentenced for thirty days
January 6. His time would have ex
pired tomorrow. he would, however
have been compelled to have paid the
costs before his release. His brother
John is still confined in jail because
Of his inability to pay costs, his sen
teDce having expired about two
weeks ago.
Sheriff Heskett very much regrets
thes slip as does also Jailer Hinchclife
the latter takes all the blame on him
self, and says he would have no kicl
coming if the sheriff fired him.-Dail!

Giants and Dyarfs,

The town of Ligonier, Noble county,
Ind, claims the unique distinction of
having for citizens the largest and
smallest men, physically considered, in
the west. George Washington Walker
is without question the heaviest man in
Indiana, If not in the United States.
He weighs 500 pounds, is now 46 years
old and is adding steadily to his weight
at the rate of twenty-five pounds each
year of his life. His waist measure
ment Is seventy-six inches, chest under
arms sixty-eight inches and arm TWEEN
ty-five inches. He Is in excellent health
but finds locomotion rather difficult, al
constructed conveyance. He is the
father of two bright children and lives
retired life, attempting to avoid much
notoriety. In the heated season he
lives altogether in the cellar Of his
residence. Walkers physical antitype
is Jesse Walker, his neighbor. The
latter is 10 years of age and possesses
a body of fair size. His legs, however,
are twelve inches in length. He Is
three feet three inches tall and weighs
but fifty pounds. Jesse is promising
youth, mentally we'll equipped and as
averse to notoriety as George Washing
ton Walker. The two men have re-
ceived flattering offers from museum
proprietors, but at present have no de-
sire for that kind of fame.-St. Louis

Ingersoll does not trouble us minis
tiers much. His talk may be witty, hut
his iibes and arguments are a rehash
of those of Paine and Voltaire, argu-
ments which have been answered so
often that we are tired Of answering;
arguments which are so ancient and
musty that we are surprised that Inger-
soil is willing to be SO far behind the
time as to dress them up and trot them
out again. They are about as effective
for his purpose as a 18th century blum.

LOOKING BACKWARD.
Look after the Back: A Fall, q
Strain, Constant Sitting or
STOPPING Position Brings
Backacke-DO You Know
This Means the Kid
news are Affected?


How few people realize when their back
begins to ache that it is warning pro-
vided by nature to tell you that the kid
neys are not working properly. You have
u severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or
perhaps you are compelled to maintain q
sitting or STOPPING position for long inter-
walls at time, your back begins to ache,
then your head, you become listless tired
and weary, but do you understand the
real cause? We think not else you would
which only relieve but do not reach the
cause. If you would rid yourself Of the
pain and cure tho root of the trouble, at
the same time save many years of suffer
ing and perhaps life itself, you will take n
kidney remedy that has been tried and
proven that it will cure.
Mir. John Robson Of G61 Russell Street,
Detroit says: "As result of exposure
during the war | have suffered ever
since with rheumatism and kidney trouble.
Pains would start in my hip and go
around to my back Highly colored
urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain
in my back was often so bad / had to give
up work until the severity OF the attack
passed away. | have used many liniments
and other things but received very little
relief. Some time ago | started using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked
a wonderful change in me- My back IS
all right now and owe it all to the almost
magical influence of Doan's Kidney Pills.
