HE TRIED 1T AGAIN
John Collins of Belle Plain Acts AwfulIy,
Saws He Wont Again Bpt Does.

Thursday morning John Collins. who
lives al Belle PLANE. came to this place
with a load of scrap iron and odd ma
ierisls that he had gathered up 10 sell
He brought with him his boy Jesse, II
years old
The load of stuff was disposed of and
they hitched up 20 90 home. But be
fore starting John. who loves the red"
thought he must have bracer for the
long ride, as the night was rather cold
and they were late in getting off.
Leaving Jesse with the reins he told
him 10 wait minute and slipped away
with the promise to be back soon.
Jesse waited a minute. two five. an
hour-till midnight, and his father had
not come. Whang, whang. the old town
clock ratified away twelve times. An
other hour went by and Jesse sat out in
the street alone. shivering with cold and
crying, waiting for his father TO come.
One. and the lights went out. Jesse
was in the dark. numb with the cold
night air, nowhere to go and nobody to
ask.
Luckily one of the men who works ct
Mr.. Divers barn saw him. took the team
morning the little fellow met his father
in the police station where he had been
run in during the night shot 70
turn.
Judge Hatton investigated the matter
according to mode and stuck the fellow
for ten John cried. said he had six
children at home besides Jesse who was
with him. Their mother was dead and
they were waiting for him 20 come with
something To eat. The judge, knowing
that to inf1ict sentence was to punish
the children. RENTED upon the mans
solemn promise TO go home home. Jesse
WAS given two dollars and a half that
the officers had taken from his father
the night before to keep for him. The
team was put 10 the wagon and just as
they were ready to start Jesse Was lefI
10 hold the team again and the father
went away With the promise 10 be back
in minute. In an hour or so ne came
back in a sort of a spasm that might be
called a cross between a hiccough and
helcb and took the two dollars and
half. He IS in the city jail today with
out a cent. The police are feeding Jesse
and the little ones at home are-waiting

THERE'S NO GAME OUT
And IL Holds Good in all and Every Game
The Kind.

John Mcintyre of Woodward, o. t.,
must be in a good stiff game of old
sledge, according TO the following
query sent 10 the Eagle. He says:
When there is no game in either
hand, that is, no card that counts for
game, who scores the point. the dealer
or the non-dealer? Answer and oblige,
JOHN MINTYRE.'
In the event above referred to. there
is no game out, and therefore no game
to count How can any claim that which
does not exist? II. however. there were
game cards out. say a jack in each hand.
the non-dealer holds the game. This not
only applies to seven up. but TO ali kin
dred games. All authorities viii sustain
this opinion and II can be relied on.

1874. He received Their usty old barker

river bank Il laid there evidently for
twenty years or more and presumably

The threatened war in the police de-
partmeut has arrived at that stage of
development now that petitions are be-
ing circulated. These petitions are di-
rected TO the governor and they humbly
ask him not to remove Commissioner
Furnish from the board of police COM
missioners until an investigation of the
police department is held. Thistle in
eestlgation-is the Pop part of the fight.
Whenever anything goes against the
grain Of Populists they Immediately ask
FOR an investigation The police board is
not yet three months in office and de-
nand is made to investigate it. This de-
mand, Of course, is not coming from the
people generally; it is coming from the
Popullst faction opposed TO the admins
trFtion. This does not mean that the
people would be against an investigation
II they believed there was any cause for
II. the friends of the administration say
they invite an investigation If there il
any demand for ii from a reputable
body of citizens They do not think
there should be an investigation, how
ever. simply because a faction of their
political enemies demand it without al
iesing any proper grounds for one. No
charges have been made upon which 10
institute an investigation.
The friends of the majority of the DO
lice board are considerably stirred up
They believe that the county attorney
and the sheriff are in some way con-
nected with opening up Of a fight on
them. The result will be that there
might be great deal of washing OF
dirty linen in the party soon. The
friends Of the majority of the board are
gong 10 sustain Mr.. Spencer and Mr..
Jocelyn and not only keep them on the
board but see that they will have their
own way about the entire management
of police affairs. They say tney Will
have Mr.. Furnish removed from the Of
lice Of secretary and if he and his friends
get too gay they Will have him removed
as member of the board. They say
they have the power to do so and will 1
exercise ii. If Mr.. Furnish comes out
punllcly in a card or otherwise and
deny that he has anything to do with
the hight on the majority Of the board
no effort will be made TO remove him
from The board, but he must either re-
sign the Office of secretary or else stand
the humiliation of being removed from
1t. That Is what the friends of the
majority of the board say and they say
1t emphatically. Nothing will be done
in the matter this week and maybe not
next week-or az least early in the
week. The subordinate officers OF the
police department are a little bit wor-
ried. for they believe if the joint inffu-
ence Of Cone and Amidon should prevail |
in this fight the friends OF these two !
men would fill the places. As it is now |
4 is said that there is only one man on |
the force friendly to the leadership as
pirations Of the Pop sheriff.

Ewing has Some Encouras enent for an
Elevator of Que Hundred Thousand Ca
pacity for Private Use.
Major Ewing, receiver OF the Wichita
Nationa. bank. has just returned from
trip 10 Texas. where he had been for ten
days on business. He spent a great deal
of the time al San Antonio, and also yis-
tied Waco. He learned great many
things in Texas about Wichita, which
again illustrates the old story that man
must 60 away from home to get The news.
What he learned was principally about
grain, and If he were in The business OF
iecturing he might talk TO the CONNER
cial club sumo afternoon 10 their advan-
tage. He says that Wichita's great op-
portunity is knocking at lis door, and
tha: it must be embraced very soon or
it may depart forever. All Texas wants
70 buy grain in Wichita If Wichita Will
only enable them TO do so. One OF the
heaviest grain men in the Lone Star
state told Major Ewing that he is busy
buying all mis- corn at Kansas City and
that Il is costing him SIS per car more
thar II would cost him in Wichita, be-
sides taking a longer time for transporta-
ton. He started in to buy all his corn
here, but either the ignorance or d!snon-
esty of some local grain men drove MIN
off the market. This gentleman told Ma
jor Ewing that the dealer here, for in
stance, put 400 bushels Of good corn in a
hale ~ M
corn, thus spelling the entire load. He
did not know whether the loca. Wichita
dealer put in the poor corr 10 make
trifle of morey out OF the deal dishonest
ly or whether he put the inferior corn in
through ignorance. The result was the
same TO the Texas man, for instead OF
having a load Of uniformly good corn he
received a mixed load and lost money on
the deal. He says he will never again
buy a load of corn in Wichita until some
system of grading is adopted here. Ma
jor Ewing thinks the establishment of an
elevator here would settle the difficulty,
for the reason that it would establish
grades in grain and thus enable people
10 buy here with a reasonable certainty
that they will receive what they order
and pay for.
Major Ewing talked to great many
grain men, and all Of them expressed as
constituent because Wichita was not
more alive TO the importance Of the Tex
as grain trade. One wealthy miller of San
Ar tonic expressed a desire 10 establish
an Elevator here Of a capacity OF 100000
bushels and viii probably do so if ne is
given the right encouragement. 1t will
not be a public elevator, however, as he
will start it for his own private use only.
1t is understood that he made some prop
ositions to Major Ewing for some prop
erty here, but the major was not in shape
to accept them. The gentleman will be
here soon TO look over the city and sur
country and to talk with the
business men and farmers.
Major Ewing says that every man in
Texas interested ir business regards |
Wichita as having the best future Of any
city in the west if she is alive TO her OPP |
portunities.

OrGreat Interest To RAILWAYS.

Des Mones, Ia, May 22.-In the case
of the Green Bay Lumber company
against the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railway company the plaintiff
had shipped lumber into Des Moines
over the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
Paul and Des Mones Northern and
Western lines under an agreement with
]. n. Tittmore, representing the Milwau-
kee, that Milwaukee cars should be al
lowed to go on to other lines. The Mil
waukee instructed the Rock Island to
refuse the cars, and the Rock Island did
so, requiring the cars to be unloaded
and lumber loaded into Rock Island cars
to be shipped to Rock Island points. The
lower court ordered the Rock Island to
receive the Milwaukee cars, and the su-
preme court says this was wrong because
the original shipment ended in Des
Moines and the shipment to Rock Island
points was new.

Springfield, Ills, May 22.-Never be-
fore i'm the history of Illinois did the
state legislature come so near indulging
In free-for-all fight as that Of Thurs
day, and several members OF the
house of representatives were nursing
bruised bodies and injured feelings re-
ceived in the scuffie. Responsibility for
the commencement Of the trouble is laid
az the door of Novak, who walked hur-
Tiedly up the aisle toward the speaker
with threatening countenance and the
evident intention of dragging Speaker
Curtis from his chair, because he re-
fused to recognize Novak, who wanted
10 have second reading OF the revenue
bill for amendment. Serious results
were averted by the GOODNESS and
prompt action OF certain Democratic
members, of whom the leaders are said
to be Craig, ODonnell, McGoorty, Far
rell and Morris.
Excitement ran to a high pitch for an
hour, during most Of which time Novak
had been shouting himself hoarse in his
demands for recognition. AS Speaker
Curtis persistently refused to recognize
the member Novak rushed UP the aisle
toward the chair. and there was a gem
defend the speaker. AS Novak ascended
the platform with threatening mien.
Needles seized him by the collar and
hurled him down to the floor.
Then came a rush from the Demo-
cratic side to protect Novak. in the
midst of which Galligan of Chicago
fourished a heavy wooden mallet over
his head He was flung to the floor
and a dozen members piled upon his

hurled at the speakers head, wounding
Meaney on the head. At this point the
cool-headed members strobe firmly to
the front and separated a dozen bellig-
erent pairs. The members took their

LAKE VESSELS IN COLLISION.
The steamer Florida Goes Down but Her
Crew Is Saved,

Port Huron. Mich. May 2.-The
steamer Florida of the Lackawanna
line sank i'm Lake Huron off Middle ISL
and Thursday as the result of col
lision with the George w Robey of
Cleveland. AS far as known all the
crew were saved and taken to Port HUI
ron. The Florida was a wooden hulk
vessel built In 1889 and valued at. $780,
Q00 1T left Chicago May is bound for
Buffalo with a load of grain and mer-
chandise. In the hold there were $4,000
bushels of wheat and on deck was
cargo of flour, beef and other staples.
The cargo was valued at $4,000. Both
vessels had wood hulks, but as far as
can be learned, the Robey was not in
jured.
officers of the steamer John Nj. Glid-
den, which arrived in Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich, report having passed wreckage
and debris of the wrecked Florida.
There was a dense fog prevailing at
the time in the vicinity of Middle ISL
and and it is thought this caused the
collision. The Florida was owned by
the Lackawanna Transportation COM
pany, which has an office in the Mar
quette building. George l.. McCurdy
insured the vessel.
