LOOK REFoRE LEAPTNa.

A report has gained currency that a
movement is about to be inaugurated
to have all officers in Kansas who are
elected for terms of two years duration
chosen at the same time. Presumably
this refers to county officers.
There was a time when all county
officers in Kansas were voted for at the
same time. The change to the present
system of electing half the county Off
Gals on alternate years thus causing
an election to take place every year
was made for a specific purpose. 1t
was done to break up what are gen
orally known as court house rings
Whether or not it has been a success
the people have had ample opportunity
to judge. If it has not, then perhaps,
it would be as well to return to the old
system and save the expense of an
election each alternate year.
If however the present system serves
to prevent the formation or continual
ton of these rings then it would be well
to balance the extra expense against
this fact and discover if possible on
which side of the question the greatest
good to the people lies.

ONA MELTON ENRAGED
With Others of the Competitors Crew
Will Ask Damages of Spain.

New York, Nov. 25.-Accordfng to the
World, the next chapter of the Compel
itor story will carry the case to Wash
ingtOn. Captain LabOrde will make
demands for damages from the Spanish
government and the United States gov
eminent will be asked to press the
claims.
Melton, who has suffered more than
the others, is likely to make a similar
claim. LeaVitt. the only other Ameri-
can in the party will place his case be-
fore the authorities of the state depart
ment.
Captain Laborde is at the home of
his brother. A physician who visited
him said that long rest must follow be-
fore IabOrde recovered his health.
LabOrde, in discussing the case, said:
ITO begin with, I am an American cit
iZen, having been born in the United
States in 1858. Then, the Competitor
was an American schooner and was
regularly cleared under American pa
pers. She was flying the American
flag There is nothing to SubStantiate
the Spanish claim that we were pirates,
because there was no evidence of pir-
acy on the high seas.
THE officers of the Spanish gunbOat
We're the pirates. They stole my watch
from the Competitor Then, besides, I
received the most inhuman and cruel
treatment when the sailors upon orders
from the officers bound my hands with
cords and twisted iron into the flesh
I was ashamed of the fact that my
grandfather wore the uniform of a
Spanish admiral. After that I was
fairly well treated, very much better
than many other prisoners"

END OF THE COFFEE WAR.

Users of package coffee have proba-
bly, learned by this time that this ar
ticle which is the basis of the popular
table beverage of so many people has
advanced considerably in price recent
". Few know, perhaps why this is so.
They have heard of no shortage in the
coffee crop, and there has been no tariff
duty imposed. In fact, other cofees
have not shown a corresponding ad-
vance.
The rise means that the war between
the two leading manufacturers of pack
age coffee in the country, has come to
an end.
It is now something like a year since
Arbuckle, the pioneer manufacturer of
package coffee declared his intention
of EN- barking in the business of refin-
ing sugar. When the Havemeyers, the
heads of the sugar trust heard of this
they at once set about the prepara-
ton of a system of defense. AS a pre-
hminary move they secured a contrOll-
ing share of the capital stock of the
Woolsen Spice company of Toledo, Ar
buckles chief rival in the package cot
fee business. Then they endeavOred to
cripple their wouId-be rival in the su-
gar business by putting the price of
coffee down. Thus the war began.
Each cut made by one concern was
met by its rival until prices reached
level away below anything previously
known.
In the meantime ArbuckIe went
ahead with his plans for refining sugar
Machinery amounting to something like
a $1,000 in value was ordered and was
about ready for delivery when a few
days ago the mills where it was being
manufactured took fire and burned to
the ground with everything in them
That ended the fight. Arbuckle was
compelled to give in to fate and relin-
guish his cherished plan of a sugar re-
fnery to fight the trust. He sued for
peace and the advance in the price of
package coffee is the result

ing to John McBee

Champion of all Champions Robert
Fitzsimmons left town with at least one
less friend in the world.
Fitz engaged John McBee, the vet

Topeka While he was here. Monday af-
ternOon McBee drove Fitz, his mana
ger and his wife around the city for
some time. 1t was about three O'Clock
when they started and after five when
they returned. Early yesterday morn
ing McBee drove the same party, in
Guiding Bob jr, TO the train. It was
just train time. F'itz entered the car
and Martin Julian remained to settle
with McBee. Fitz opened the car win
dow when he was safely inside and said

the train is about to CO.

Julian. Just as the conductor cried
AL aboard" Julian said to Fitz How
long did you use the hack altogether?''
Just an hour said Fitz with a
grin.
Julian gave the astonished McBee a
dollar and before RcBee could recover
from the amazement of being paid one
dollar for driving three people the best
part of an afternoon and for taking
them to the train, the whole party were
on their way out of town. When Fitz

AT THE BALL.
Minister Prayed, Dancing Stopped
and the Orchestra Played "Nearer
NV God, to Thee

Ceredo, w. Va, Nov. 25.-FOr two
weeks past Rev. James H. Rigg, of the
Baptist church, has been conducting a
revival meeting here, and the greatest
of interest has been manifested. He, on
various occasions, denounced dancing
and theaterS from the pulpit, and last
night after his services for the evening
We're over he had occasion to pass down
Bridge street, when suddenly strains of
music in a hall fell upon his ear, and the
sound of gay young society people trip
ping the light fantastic" could also be
heard. Rev. Mr.. Rigg at once entered
the hall, and winding his way through
the many merry young couples on the
floor to the center of the ballroom he
startled all present by the command,
Lets pray"
The reverend gentleman at once be-
gan and prayed fervently for fully 10
minutes. At first but few knelt, but be-
fore the end of five minutes every cOu-
pie on the floor were on their knees, or
had bowed their heads through respect
to the reverend gentleman When Rev.
Mr.. Rigg arose from his knees more
than a dozen young ladies and gentle
men went forward and gave him their
hand, and remarked that they would
never again enter the ballroom. The
festivities for the evening were brought
to a standstill, and the orchestra, in a
low tone. played Nearer, My God, To
Thee as the young people departed
for their homes.

vessels, and even sheet tin and pottery.
Shipments of copper are also no small
item.
In contrast to this earning power
over on the other side is the fact that
the banks of Chicago have been refus-
ing 2 per cent on deposits for the past
60 days. A great deal of money has
come into this country from England
and the continent in payment for grain
and provisions. Then, too, the people
here have been alarmed by the silver
panic and have brought out their
money from the stockings, safety de-
post boxes and other hiding places, and
the result is that we have more capital
than there is interest to use This is
certainly an unusual state of affairs
but it will adjust itself In another sea-
son.
New enterprises will start up and
there viii again be a demand for cap

RARE CASE OF HONOR.
Amos F. Emo Pays 100000 to Set
tie Debts of a Wartime Failure.

New York, Nov 25.-The most re-
marRable case of business honesty and
conscientiOusness ever known has come
to light in the action of Amos F. Emo,
who, at an estimated outlay of $500, 600,
is paying off old claims against firm
in which he was a member, and which
failed two weeks after the outbreak of
the civil war Before the war Amos r.
Emo, now of the Fifth Avenue hotel,
was the head of the firm of Emo, Rob
erts, Rhoades & Co. In 1857 his son,
Amos F. Emo, succeeded to his fathers
interest In 1883 the firm d1SSOlNed,a and
was succeeded by the firm of Emo, Beu-
rem & Valentine, Amos f. Emo being at
it's head. It did a most extensive BUSH
ness in Hicks dry goods, it's customers
being almost entirely in the south.
At the outbreak of the war the south
ern merchants refused to settle their
balances. Many firms crashed, and two
weeks after Fort Sumter was fired up
on the firm of Emo, Beuren & Valentine
went down. The stock and business
were sold, and the proceeds prOrated
among the creditors, who gladly signed
a release on receipt of the small diVi-
dend thus secured. The firm passed out
of memory, but after the war Mr.. Emo
Teem barked in business and prOSpered.
Nothing more was ever thought of
the old firm and its debts until quite
recently, when Mr.. Emo began distribu-
ting checks among the old creditors of
his firm with interest at 4 per cent
since 1861. He enjoined confidence on
the recipient of each check, but the eX-
hibitiOn was such q rare one that the
news leaked out. Mr.. Emo positively
refuses to say a word about it. Many
of those who have received the checks
know nothing about the old claims, be
ing sons, nephewS and grandchildren of
the original creditors of the old firm,
and the books in which the old accounts
were kept having been destroyed They
can only take Mr.. EnO's word for the
fact that he owes them and as to the
