DID WELL BY RUFUS
Court of Appeals Rererses the Decision of
the Lower Court

The Kansas court of appeals yester-
day handed down a decision in a case
that was watched with deep interest by
the members of the bar and people gen.
orally who knew of the case l. ap-
pears that along in 1891 the Kansas
Furniture company, then running in
this city. was attached by various whole
sale firms, and that Rufus Cone as the
sheriff. served the writss of attachment
and that the property was sold out un-
der these attachments. the Citizens
bank at the time claimed TO be the
owner OF the stock % furniture by viz
tue of mortgage of some s25, $50. which
Mr.. Cone claimed had been paid and
satisfied, and that they were fraudu-
lent and void. The case was afterward
tried in the court of common pleas
where Judgment was rendered aga inst
Mr.. Cone for some S1.70G Afterwards
Mr.. Cone, through his attorneys, ap-
pealed the case 20 the court Of APPEALS.
This case was argued al the last term
Of coure very exclusively by the at
torneys on both sides The decision
handed down yesterday reverses the
decision of the lower court. Stree this
case has been appealed the Citizens
bank has become insolvent, and il is
doubtful whether the case will ever

Kansas clergyman whom the congre-
cation wants as pastor. 1t is expected
that the bishop will finally consent to

be agreed on. DIR. Colt has given up his
western charge in Difference to the
wishes of the North Avenue congresa-
ton. Today Presiding Elder +. J.

The above Associated Press dispatch
probably needs some explanation. Mr..
Colt was the late pastor of the First

the political and municipal war, precip-

COOLIES" OF BETTING MONEY
Pool Rooms Chuck Full OF Dough to Bet
on MCkintev

The sentiment in this city is strongly
for Mckinley; the talk is for Bryan.
That is about the way it is al over
| the country and that Is how II will be
until O'clock on the night of Ncven-
Der ). Then people VIII wait a few
hours. Then they VIII begin 10 hear
from New York and New England and
THE great middle west After that a
whole lot of people will begin to talk
again and this is about what they viii
| say: Il knew all the time that the
nomination Of Bryan was mistake
| Bland was the man"
Down at the pool room in this city
there is enough chalk money posted,
based presumably on gold, 10 pay the
municipal debt of Wichita, Two great
big black boards are fun of Il The
man who wrote Il must have been a
Mckinley man for he wrote elegantly
and, It might be said, eloquently. The
betting IS almost unanimously in favor
OF the great man of Canton.
Democrats are astonishei when they
see the bets and. 1T might be said, tha,
ire nature of the place is such that
nine out Of every ten men who go IN
there are Democrats. tt is place that
Democrats protect and sustain more
than they do churches and school
houses and factories. But, as hereto-
fore stated, they are astonished when
they see the chalk marks.
The first legend on those black boards
reads as follows:
One hundred dollars that Mckinley
carries New York by 100000 plurality.
1t then continues as follows:
One hundred dollars to 5000 that Nc
Kinley carries Kansas
Twenty-Five dollars that Mckinley
beats Bryan in Indiana
One hundred dollars that Mckinley
BEATS Bryan in Ohio by 10000
One hundred dollars that Mckinley
bSats Bryan in Illinois %, 900.
Ninety dollars to $50 that Mckinley
viii be elected.
Thirty dollars to $50 that no one can
name ten southern states that Bryan
win carry
This is enough for any Democrat and
he Immediately proceeds TO the bar to
Ticker UP. Then he will talk and talk
and thinks he is the only taiker, forget
ting that the chalk lines on the black
boards talk much louder than he does.
When he is reminded of this he becomes |
a model citizen right away and he says |
that it is Illegal and wrong to bet. The |
betting law is one OF the laws the Dem |
ocrats would like to see strictly en- /
forced in this city this year. Nobody |
blan1es them for their new born solicit /
tude for the laws of Kansas.

ed very clearly the difference between
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer at is to 1, on individual account,
and the limited coinage on govern
nrent account. He took some of Mr..
Bryan's sayings and exploded them
thoroughly, as for instance the saying
of Mr.. Bryan that the free and un-
limited coinage of silver would enable
the seventy million of people TO go out
and get the silver" He raised the
question, how these seventy millions
could get it unless they were owners
OF silver mines or would purchase it
from the silver miners. He took up
another Of Mr. Bryan's sayings that
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer would raise the price of the com
modify from 90 cents per ounce to 81 %
per ounce" and asked the people how
it would benefit them to pay sl.2s and
then get back s1.29 for this ounce OF
SILVER. His statements were we'll re-
