when the telephone was first intro
duced in that state an old farmer who
dla not exactly understand the work
ing OF the invention bought new pair
OF boots for his son who lived down in

Mr.. Jacob s. l.nnrry and his corps OF
BUYERS returned Sunday morning from the
greatest sale Of dry goods that has ever
occurred in this western country, il not in
the U. 5. Mr. Emery says that the
sale was attended by many large buyers
AS far east as New York. but the principal
cities in the west were represented iron,
Texas 10 Minnesota. from Grand Rapids,
Chicago, Cincinnati louisville. west TO
Denver.
This was the largest open stock carried
by any firm in the wcst--Ey-Walker Dry
Goods company, were recognized as the
leading wholesale dry goods house in S.
Louis. Their open stock invoiced at the
last inventory atsl, 10000, and was much
heavier at the time of the fire, as It WAS
in the midst Of their early spring jobbing
business. ......-s.
The great wonder and surprise to all
buyers was tina large amount OF goods
saved in perfect condition--This was and
is \ wonder to the insurance world, and
it is accounted for by the system and or
gnnlzed corps called the Iarpsu'n corps,
which covered all tho piece goods-known

900 pieces OF of percales-saved III perfect

pieces of,lress goods and silks. This floor
was saved smost entirely by the Tsrpau-
lin corp by covering them completely.
This kind OF All attache should be or
gained by our underwriters in this city,
and it would save a great deal OF money
ut a large lire and is especially applicable
where goods are in large blocks and piles
as are usual in large wholesale store.
These are the goods that were bought
by the Harris-Emcry Co.. while coming
from what would be called q fire sale,
they are not damaged and it was this un-
usual feature that over 5000 worth OF
goods were saved in perfect condition that
attracted such large representation OF
buyers.
The sale was made for spot cash, Every
night the buyers were compelled to de
post the amount of their purchases, and
that being the case. goods sold very, very |
cheap, from % to 60 cents on the dollar.
To give some adequate ids of the amount
of goods that sG0O.CcO worth OF goods

by practically unanimous vote. The
committee on resolutions reported
without recommendation a resolution
introduced several days ago in regard
TO the government taking control OF
the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads. Mr.. Bryan introduced the fol-
lowing substitute for this resolution,
and spoke upon it as follows, after
which it was adopted unanimously and
the congress took recess until the
afternoon:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this
congress that the Pacific liens should
be foreclosed as they become due, and
that the government should adopt
such measures as will secure to the
patrons OF the Pacific railway the use
of said roads upon the payment of
rates which yield a reasonable return
upon the present value of the roads
measured by the cost of reproduction"

Mr. Bryan was interested In this
matter, and, taking the platform, ad-
dressed the convention as follows:
Members of this congress. the thing TO
be desired. no matter what means may
be used in reaching it, is TO protect the
patrons of these Pacific roads from be-
ing compelled to pay rates that viii give
a return upon fictitious capitalization
and watered stock. 1t is known that at
present those roads are capitalized and
bonded for enormously more than the
cost of building and enormously more
than il would cost to build them now.

What we desire, therefore, is TO get rid

Sidney Stevens Now Sues the Rogers
Law Firm.

Sidney Stevens yesterday, through
his attorney, L. +. Rhodes, filed an
action to recover from the law firm OF
Evans & Rogers the sum OF ss26.25.
With interest
The complaint sets forth many Of the
grounds and alleged facts set up in the
petition for disbarment of Rogers fled
by Mr.. Stevens about year ago, with
the supreme court, and which was de-
Lied after investigation. In brief. the
allegations are that Stevens entrusted
2 note for $500 with the firm for coll
lection. said note being signed by Err
nest A. Barry and Endorsed by Will r.
Swan. and being secured by a mort
gage on real estate. The defendants.
it is alleged. represented that they were
attorneys for Joseph Clark. who also
held mortgage affecting the property
and that they would collect for the
fees allowed by the court
The further claim is made that the
defendants received divers sums as at
tOrneys' fees, and as amounts 10 apply
on the plaintiffs judgment, for which
they have never accounted 20 the plain
tiff. The entire sum is said to be the
amount sued for.
OTHER LITIGATION.
Joseph E. Hodson has brought suit
against the Pioneer Power company,
asking protection in mis- water rights.
which he claims are being infringed
by the said company. Hodson alleges
that the canal built by the power COM
pany interferes with his bitches. and
that the company is not living up TO
agreements made at the time plaintiff
granted the right of way over his
land.

shall treat these great corporations as
it treats the small people VINO owe the
government and are not able TO pay y
this question that principle OF equality
before the law that ought to be applied
to the solution of all questions
Now when you come TO the means 10
be adopted for the carrying on OF these
roads after foreclosure you hnd a diff
ference of opinion. Some insist that the
government should purchase the roads
and operate them; but that brings up the
question of the government ownership
of the railroad, and upon that question
people differ, and when We have tried to
foreclose those lines we have always
been confronted with the proposition that
it meant government ownership and the
owners of the road have used that idea
prevent any action being taken by this
government, and they have used it
among people who are so remote from
the roads that they are not affected di-
rectly, or sufficiently affected TO call
their attention to il. And often the at
fairs relating to these Pacific railroads
have been turned over to people in re-
mote part of this country where the men
in charge of those affairs could do any
thing they wanted to do, but their con-
stituentS were so little interested that
they did not watch what their reDresen-
tatives did.
Now if We bring up the question of gov
eminent ownership then we at once
disclose a difference between those who
believe that the government should fore
close its lien. squeeze the water out of
the stock and put these roads upon a
business basis. and those who believe the
government should own and operate the
roads. II we enter upon that discussion
it is going back long while without the
prospect of reaching an agreement that
will impress congress. and therefore l
introduce as a substitute a resolution
that declares in favor of a foreclosure as
they become due, and upon that question
there ought 10 be no difference of opinion;
and then I add to it the declaration that
the government will take such measures
as will secure TO the patrons of the roads
the use of the roads when they have
paid rates that yield a reasonable return
upon the present value of the roads
measured by the cost of reproduction. My
friends, il seems TO me there could be no
other basis for q calculation of the rail-
road rates except the present value of the
roads. What difference does it make how
much stock has been used2 What differ
ence does il make how many bonds have
been issued If they do not represent the
value? What difference does it make
what the railroad may have cost origin
ally Every other business enterprise that
is not a monopoly is based upon what
the property Is now worth and not upon
what it cost originally. Great applause).

through some other reason, the streams
are better stocked with trout this year

Chief of Police Squabble.

Kansas City, July IA special from
Jefferson City, Mo-, says: The state
supreme court today overruled the mo-
ton for a rehearing in the case of
Chief of Police Thomas Vallins of
Kansas City. The writ of custer will
be issued in ten DAYS from date. The
supreme court recently decided that
Vallins, who came here from Chicago,
was Illegally appointed, he not being a
citizen.
The Kansas City board of police
commissioners has already declared
that it will reappoint Vallins on Jan.
next. when he shall have become a
citizen. An acting chief will probably
be appointed to fill the interim.
Under Vallins' brief regime in Kan
sas City, gamblers have been driven
from the city and many notorious
criminals run down.
