The following is an extract from
The REPRESENTATIVE of JAny 81,
1894:
"At the very time Mr.. Donnelly was
urging upon the State Alliance the
nomination of S. M. Owen for COVER
nor, (l894), Mr.. Owen was urging his
friends to oppose Mr.. Donnelly's re-
election as president of the State AlIi-
ance. We are sorry to hear this Tor
the man (Fish) who demanded Mr..
D0nneiIys head, was the man who sold
out to the Republicans and opposed
Mr.. Owens election for governor in
1890.
Fair play is pretty thing"
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1896-08-12

Strange that the people who howl
'loHdest. against s'watered stock"
should Wish to water the CURRENCY
Exchange.
Nothing strange about it. To wa
ter railroad stock is to increase the
burden OF the people, by making the I'm
pay Interest on bogus capital. To
water the. currency" is to decrease
Its. puschasing power by increasing it,
.QuAntttyysnd thus put up the value
;Of the productions Of the people, and
make them so much better on.

people Of Sumner county voted the
bonds for the Santa Fe there was one
very important clause made and that
clause was TO the effect that two pas

clause has been grossly violated for
the past two years. and now it is en-

are going to call halt in this matter:

leg very seriously. DR., Purdue was
called and after Mr.. Austin had been
moved to his house he set the limb.
This is the second serious accident
at the prospect well since operations
were commenced.-Eagle.
This is Geo. Austin, the well-digger,
who resided in Wellington so long.
His many friends in this city will be
sorry indeed to learn of this sad acct.

Attempted Burglary

AT the early hour Of o'clock a. m.
yesterday an attempt was made to
break into the house Of Geo. R. Fultz
al the corner Of Chestnut and Eighth
streets.
Mrs. Fultz and Miss Flora were
alone in the house, ds Mr.. Fultz is
away from home.
They were sleeping downstairs and
Mrs. Fultz was awakened by a strong
light being thrown through a window
OF the dining room, across the sitting
room, into the bedroom and full in
her face, binding her for the moment.
The light was intensely bright and
glaring. When Mrs. Fultz raised I'D
in bed and awake ned Miss Flora. upon
a slight noise made by them the light
disappeared from their room but was
still observed tOquiver about the din
ing room windOw-sill. Miss Fultz
said: That's the light from dark
lantern" AT the same time Cute"
the little house dug, growled and
acted as if things were not Just
right, thus adding not little to the
uncomfortable feeling of the two la
dies.
They hastily arose and lighted a
lamp, which action caused the mys-
FERROUS light TO disappear from the
window. The alarm was given to
some OF the nelghbors by Miss Fultz.
who manifested quite a brave spirit
throughout the affair. No further
disturbance occurred during the
night. The two ladies were fright
ened all the more, as II was known by
them that barns in the neighbor-
hood have, for the past few months,
been infested by tramps and buns.
The number Of questionable look
ing characters in this city has ceen
increasing Of late, and the number Of
men presenting their petitions for
aid and protesting tc be at objects Of
charity, has also been quite large.
As a precautiOn it might not he amiss
to clear out few Of the buns who
are loahng around the city.

The result of this battle of our PEG.
pie against this grasping and arrogant
corporation. should encourage this
council to take action against another
corporation that is receiving a large
part of the taxpayers money, without
complying with their promises, and
agreements, under a franchise illegal
in its nature, and not binding upon
this city. FOryears this city mas been
paying to the Wellington Light and
Heat Co., thousands of dollars in COM
pliance with the provisions of a
twenty years franchise granted to this
corporation some ten years ago by the
council and mayor. THAT time there
was largeincreasein our wealth and
ulation, arivalry between the different
erent cities in our stateas to which town
could show the most improvements
and advantages. The corporations
that obtained the franchises paid little
attention to their legality, as they
were all built by bonds that found
ready sale in eastern markets, and
the cities that granted them these
franchises were so eager to keep pace
with their rivals that they were
willing when requested to exceed
their powers, or were too careless to as
certain what limits had been placed
by statute law upon their authority.
But it is well known today that no
city had right to grant a franchise
of twenty years, and should have been
known at that time. This with the
fact that this corporation had failed
to furnish the amount of light con-
tracted for and in various ways had
failed to comply with their obligations
makes it the duty of this council to
seek to obtain relief from this heavy
burden that demands such a large
part of the ever decreaing revenues of
our city. The large decrease in tax
able property of the numerous cities of
the second class in this state has COM
PEELED many of them to assent to that
well defined principle, THAT self pres
ervation is the first law of nature, u
and to seek through the courts to
cancel these unlawful franchises in
order to save their homes and their
property. In nearly every case they
have been successful, and 1 believe it
is our duty to see if some relief cannot
be obtained also. | trust that in car
rying on the affairs of this city during
the coming year that we may work
together IN harmony.
The feuds, wrangles, and bitterness
that were so injurious 10 the welfare
ofOur city during the last year trust
are gone forever. The defeat at the
polls of every candidate who express
ed desile if elected to continue this
warfare shows plainly that our people
have had enough oft. 1 know it is
my desire to do anything I can to work
in harmony with you and 1 trust that
peace and good will may abide with us.
Very Respt.,
W. R. SAVAGE, Mayor.
