SUIT AGAINST KELLEY.
Failure to Comply With a Court orae

Failure to Comply With a Court Order
Causes a Postponement. +
LEAvENWoRTH, Kan, Jan. 23.-The
suit OF Charles f. Johnston, against
Or. Leslie 3. Kelley, of gold cure
fame, for 500, 900 damages, received a
temporary setback in the district court
ibis morning and was continued till
Monday, March g.. When the case was
called at 10 o'clock counsel for the
plaintiff filed a motion that the answer
OF the defendant be struck from the
MES on the ground that he failed and
refused to comply with the order of
the district court here, directing that
IN his deposition DR.. Kelley should
give the formula Of his remedy.
The counsel for DR.. Keeley showed
by the records that an order of the
court last January directing that the
plaintiff deposit with the clerk Of the
court 800 as additional security for
the cost, had not been complied with.
Inc court held that the plaintiff was
IN contempt and IN no position to ask
an extraordinary remedy against Or.
Kelley. Counsel for the plaintiff
asked permission to file an affidavit of
poverty for their client, which was
granted. .ias,#s
Johnston filed the suit in 1894 and
asks for 500, 600 damages on the
ground that the Kelley remedy made
him a wreck physically and mentally.

%INGERSOLL ON PRAYER.

Says He Is Not Converted and Feels az
He Always Did.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-Colonel Robert
Ingersoll has returned from the West,
where he has been delivering q series
of lectures.
II take it for granted" he said,
that the people who prayed for me
are my friends, and that they really
want their God to convert me. OF
course, no prayer was ever answered.
Prayer may be a kind of relief to the
one who prays, but whether the
prayer is addressed to a stone god or a
wooden one, to a stuffed snake or a
totem, or to Jehovah, the result is the
same.
Il don't think that the prayers have
affected me. l believe that I have as
much sense, as much good Judgment,
now as before the prayers were made,
and that am as much opposed to or
thodox savagery al Twas before the
prayers were made.
- can not be converted unless my
brain is changed or weakened; unless
my credulity is increased and my rea-
sonlng powers weakened. At the
same time ! am much obliged for the
prayers. feel toward those who
prayed for me as the girl did toward
the young man who squeezed her
hand. She said. 1T pleases him and
does not hurt me.'n

The Committee on Territories Flooded
With Adverse Arguments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - Chairman
Scranton of the committee on terri
tories is receiving such large numbers
of communications in every mail adj
verse to the admission of Oklahoma
as suggests deliberately concerted OPP
position. Many Of them from his own.
State of Pennsylvania, but the whole
Eastern coast is abundantly repre-
sented. The argument employed in
every case is that if the Territory be-
came q State two more silver senators
would almost certainly be sent to
represent it, and increase. by so much
the already formidable odds, against
which the sound money men have to
fight at the north end of the capitol.
The same reasoning is used against
New Mexico and Arizona Flynn is
combating it as best he can. Okla
homa, he declared, would be at. least
a debatable State on the money issue,
n which neither side. would clam
with certainty in advance of a.test at
the polls. 4

for WA.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The New York
Commentary Of the Military Order Of
Foreign Wars Of the United States
held q meeting in the Brevoort house
last night. Rear Admiral Gherhardi
made the chief address. He said:
sThe English are as stubborn az we
are. and they are just as proud. We
have inherited the same traits from
them. | can assure you that England
will fight, but the last people whom
she wishes to fight with are ourselves.
None of these modern ships have
ever been in a great fight and we do
not know what the result will be.
But there is not any man who does not
believe that old Monroe was right.
But whom are we going to fight for
about as. d%espicable and ungrateful a
race as ever lived. These South
Americans do not like us, and you
cannot depend upon their word. They
do not have a republic there in the
sense that we have. They have no
idea of anything but force of arms.
When l was in Chill during the Balti-
more affair, l heard it said that the
best thing we ever did was to put u
hands on Chill.
They have no more use for us than
you have for a robber. However, this
does not affect the Monroe doctrine.
We should say TO Venezuela, no one
shal interfere with her, not because
we love her, but because she is on
this j OF the water. In a war with
England we would overrun Canada in
less than six weeks. But we have no
ships to fight. We could injure her
commerce but we could not send a
body OF troops to Venezuela. If we
made the attempt we would get them
there about the time the Adventists'
end of the world shall come.
To-day we have only a few ships,
scarcely any battle ships; cruisers are
only meant to act as pickets. When
England sends out a battleship it is
accompanied by four cruisers. We
want battleships, and until we get
them, we shall not be prepared to
fight | do not think they would de-
stroy New York, but they might bot
tie us up. 1t was shown during the
late wa that the forts cannot stop the
ships.
England has laid down two rules:
First, that her navy must be superior
to that OF any other power, and Sec
ond, that 1T must also be superior
to that OF any other nation tnat might
ally itself to any power, at war with
England, England has such a navy.
and | wish to God we had it. Then it.
would be all right. Englandis spend
ing hundreds Of thousands of pound
annually on her coaling stations and
Notifications at Halifax and st. Lucia.
Every point about the Notifications is
closely guarded; no workman is per-
mitted to know the extent of the work
and the different workmen are changed
frequently SO that they may not be
able to sketch a plan of the fortifca,
tions."

SALISBURY IN EFFIGY.
Excited Venezuelana Hold a Mock Trial
of the British Premier.

CARACAS, Jan. 22.-England's pro-
posed method of arbitration, which
has been published in the American
press, is viewed here with suspicion,
especially Chili's offer of mediation.
Venezuela would never consent to
this. Chilli has been Venezuela's
enemy. Chill is also opposed to the
United States and is friendly to Eng
land. England has no right to pur-
chase the disputed territory, and in
any event. the sale could not be ac-
cepted by Venezuela, as the constitu-
ton forbids the disposal of any
national territory.
Anti-English sentiment continues
popular. An efigy of Salisbury was
prepared and carried through the
streets, the multitude jeering it. The
procession stopped at the plaza, where
a mock trial was held. The effgy was
sentenced to death and shot. The
clothing was pulled from the figure
and torn into shreds, which were
distributed among the crowd.

When DR. HeinesMarks of. ST Louis
took charge Of the city hospital he
founds lean and lank greyhound
that had belonged to his predecessor.
The dog would not leave the building,
and, having been trained to carry q
basket, he made himself so useful
1hat DR.. Marks decided to let him
stay. The dog is very fond OF sleep
ing under the register in DR.. Marks
private Office
Or. Marks has a parrot that has
almost mastered the English language
n is avery good mimic. The parrot
has been in the habit of waiting until
the dog was asleep when it would
whistle and awake the greyhound.
Reilly. the dog, developed a great dis
like for his disturber, but was at q loss
to find any means of retaliation. The
attendant, whose duty it is to look
alter the parrot, had taken the cage
down and seti it on the floor. Reilly
trotted in, and, after noticing that the
parrot was within his reach, stopped
to deliberate as to what should be the
tate OF his enemy. Apparently the
greyhound concluded that he would
overlook past offenses and show the
bird some mercy. Reilly crawled
under the register aud went to sleep.
He had been there only a few min
utes when the parrots shrill whistle
disturbed his SLIM hare HI i,,~noJ
up and ran around the room two or
three times before he was thoroughly
awake. The doors leading to the
Office were open, and the greyhound
picked up the cage and trotted off
down the corridor. while the bird
cried in loud tones "Oh, doctor!" The
parrots c attracted the atten-
ton OF the attendant and he watched
the dog, which paid no attention, but
a down the hall until he reached
the yard for insane patients, when he
took the bird into a cell and set it
down.
The parrot was calling in itc loudest
tones and the greyhound capered
about for awhile and then trotted
back to the Office and went to sleep.
The parrot was rescued after it had
screamed until it was hoarse and the
hospital surgeons are contemplating
trepanning the dogs head to get a
glimpse of the workings Of the in
stinct that taught him that the insane
ward was the proper place for a noisy
bird.

The total loss caused by hre and

at about $3.50. 600, and it is thought
the loss on the building will amount
to $50, 900. Several thousand dollars
damage was done to the stock OF Jor-
dan & Co., a cutlery firm at 40 Broad
way.
All the fire companies in the busi-
ness portion of town were soon fight
ing the flames and by strenuous efforts
succeeded in combining them to Allce's
building. An immense amount of wa
ter was thrown on the fire, which was
family gotten under control and par
TALLY subdued, when the top floor
caved in and fell through to the first
floor, pinning down five fremen who
were at work there. All the firemen
available were put to the work Of res
cue, and several streams We're turned
on the burning heap, from which
could be heard the cries for help.

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.
The Supply OF All Western Ohio Cut on
Two Fatalities.

RED KEY. Ind, Jan. e3.-At 7:15
last evening a terrible explosion oc-
cured at the pumping works of the
Natural Gas Pipe Line Company at
this place. A twelve-inch main was
blown u and all the buildings
burned. Five men were working at
the pumps. Engineer Sam Goodwin,
of Fairview, cannot be found. He is
supposed to be dead in the burning
ruins. Engineer Joe Watkins, Of
Lafayette, is fatally burned. The
other three men escaped with slight
injuries. The main burst and the ex-
plosion followed. This cuts off the
gas supply of all Western Ohio.

Morgan County, Colorado.

Morgan County is NOT sway out on
the frontier" Don't allow n idea of
that sort to take possession of you.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Morgan County is more pros
porous than any section of equal size
IN Illinois or Ohio. Its citizens are as
intelligent as any in the country. It's
educational and religious advantageous
good as the best. Its climate as health
full and pleasant as any in the world.
You must visit Morgan county to Up
preciate it properly.
Morgan County has any number of
advantages over nine out of every ten
farming sections in the United States.
No crop failures; no malaria; no hot
winds; no intense heat; no bitter cold.
The people T friendly. The system
of irrigation is cooperative and eco
nomical.
This years yields r beyond belief.
Think Of 10 per cent of the wheat fields
n the county averaging so bushels to
the acre. Oats, barley, corn, potatoes
and alfslle1S made just as good a show
ing. One man made 81, $50 from three
acres OF onions. Another has already
received $1,52O from the proceeds of 70
acres of wheat. A third cleared $500
from his bees alone.
The price of land varies from SIS to
$40 an acre, including perpetual water
right. Eighty acres is as much as one
man can farm, and If he goes in for
fruit raising OF market gardening, half
that much will be found to be enough
to keep him busy.
Detailed information about Morgan
County is contained in an Illustrated
bookle issued by the Passenger De-
partment of the Burlington Route and
for free distribution. A COPY
will be mailed to any one who will
write to J.. Francis, G. p. A., Omaha,
Neb., for it.
