KANSAS VS. KA.bsAs CITY.

The Times asserts that Leavenwortl
can supply Kansas City and other
towns within q reasonable radius with
all the electrical power they may re-
uuire. LeayenwOrth has the cheap coal
In abundance for generating the eiec-
trical energy, and we have no doubt OF
the feasibility of the enterprise. 1he
coal supply at IIeayenworth IS mex
haustible The diSagreeable side Of the
suggestion, to us, is that it should be
consumed in the interest and for the
Cpbuilding Of Missouri town, the lead
ing aspiration of whose people is 10
dwarf the great state Of Kansas ana
lev all it's interests under tribute. With
like railway facilities, or with the same
transportation charges. Leavenworth
should be able to reap the advantages
accruing from her natural possessions.
The industries depending for success
upon cheap power, or upon generated
heat for smelling purposes. should hnd
Ieavenworth the profitable location
rather than Kansas City, and would.
were everything else equal. Because OF
inequalities and forced determinations
las Kansas City been built up at the
expense Of Kansas towns, at the eX-
lense OF the entire state Of Kansas.
Manufacturers of commodities in Kan
H. af.if
ties, have been quietly notified that If
they would reach their patrons prompt
~ and profitably they must move their
plants 10 Kansas City, and they have
gone. Il was but a choice between the
expense Of a move and relocation or
bankruptcy. A Wichita manufacturer,
some time since, shipped a part Of a car
load of his commodity, a perishable one,
to a point in northern Iowa. The car
containing his goods was Sidetracked
within fifty or sixty miles, where it lay
Two weeks. When he protested that
such work would ruin his trade. he Was
informed that had he been doing bust
ness in Kansas City, his ',Stuif" would
have gone promptly forward. He took
the hint and moved. Kansas City has
thus been enabled to force smelters and
various lines of manufactures to locate
IN that town. True, they can't force
Kansas farmers to locate there, be-
cause there is no room within the cor
porate limits of that Missouri town for
wheat and corn fields and for pastures.
But the products of these farms and
pastures have been forced first to Kan
sas~Ciyy before being permitted to seek
the markets of the world. Wheat
grown along the southern borders of
Kansas, destined and consigned to gulf
ports, must first he hauled north $50
miles 10 Kansas City TO he graded and
tolled. after which it is returned back
and forwarded TO its destination.
In this view Of the case, the Times
editorial. referred to, though able and
emirently practical, has a pathetic
seeming. The late order of the pOstof-
flee department. giving the half-baked
editions OF a couple Of Kansas City pa
perS prestige over the Eagle in its ter
ritory, and at the expense of the gen
eral government, is but more Of the
same Sort. What Kansas wants to do
IS 10 give up and quit dreaming of fu
ture commercial importance for any Of
her towns. and for her interests and en-
terpIises, Of various kinds, to get off
the earth

BUCK1EY's BAD LUCK
He Is Innocent, But Must Stand
Trial


SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-The SUI
preme court today decided that Jerome
A. Buckley, who was recently convicted
of election frauds and sentenced to five
years in San Quentin, must stand an
other trial. though only few weeks
ago II practically determined that he
was innocent of the crime charged.
In passing upon Buckley's appeal for
n new trial the court held that the evil
dence upon which he had been convicted
was insufficient and indirectly ordered
that the case be dimissed. The decision
did not directly order such a proceeding.
however and when the case was called
TO the attention of Judge Wallace, be-
fore whom it had been originally tried,
he refused to order It's dismissal. Incl
dentally he took advantage of the OPP
portunity to criticise the supreme court,
alleging that it had gone beyond its
province in granting a new trial, hav-
ing reached its decision from consid-
Grafton OF the facts and not from re-
view of the law. which alone it shoulS
consider. He then set the case for a
second trial.
Today Buckley's attorneyS applied to
the supreme court to h2ye the case dis
missed. suing for Writ of habeas cor
pus for Buckley'S release. In passing
upon the petition, Chief Justice Beatty
decided thatthe former decision of the
court simply ordered a new trial, but
made re provision for an immediate dis
miSsal. The decision thoroughly sus-
Rtned Judge Wallace, and Buckley Will
now be compelled to go through sec
ord trial. Buckley is now in the coun-
ty Jail.

LYNCHING LIKELY
Cowardly Murder by Harrison
Homesteader

REDDING, April 6.-Albert Vein
gartner was lodged in the county jail this
evening by Constable Huntington of
Harrison Gulch, the new mining camp
forty miles southwest from this city.
Weingartner is charged with killing w.
Vosez About two weeks ago the alleged
murderer had Vosez arrested for cut
ting timber on his land, and the trial
was to come up on the 18th. Vein
gartner lives in a cabin with a son IA
years old, not far from Harrison, and
Vosez resided $50 yards distant in an
other cabin. AS a woodchopper named
Watson, with a companion, was ap-
preaching Weingartner's house AeSly
on Monday morning they heard a shot
and Vosez, who was engaged in cutting
wood, threw ZIP his hands and fell to
the ground. Following the report they
saw smoke issuing from the window
of Weingartner's cabin. Watson at once
returned to Harrison, while his partner
watched the premises. \ crowd of
miners rushed to the scene and when
the cabir of the assassin had been sur
rounded, Justice Markham called to
Weingarner to surrender, and he came
out and gave himself up. Threats of
lynching were freely INDUCED in and
officers brought the murderer to this
city as soon as possible. Nosez was
nick-named "Wild Bill'' and was ia
miliar character of the neighborhood.
Weingartner, who formerly presided in
Red Bluff bears a good reputation.

A BIG HAUL
STARVING INDIANS
Half the Famous Modocs Are Already
Dead

REDDING, April 6.-Word comes from
Modoc county that the remnant of Cap
tain Jacks tribe of Modoc Indians, now
living in that county in the neighbor-
hood of the scenes of Captain Jack s
treachery and General Canbys death IN
1872 are now in a pitiable condition
verging on actual starvation.
In all there are about 100 of the famous
tribe left. The winter has been a severe
one, the snow deep, and the Indians
have been unable to obtain the neces-
saries of life.
A party of two bucks and ten squaws
struggled into Altures, the county seat,
from the lava beds, to get food. but the
whites were not charitably disposed to
the Modocs.
So hungry were the Indians that they
stripped the carcass of dead COW to the
bone ravenously ate of the putrid flesh
and carried away what was left.
1t is reported that their number has
been reduced one-half this winter by
death, due to starvation and exposure.
There is no reservation and no appeal
to the United States government.

BUCKET SHOP PROFITS
Drawn From Everybody Who Had a
Dollar

NEW YORK. April 6.--The offices OF
e. S. Dean & Co. We're beseiged by anx-
ious investors today. Some of them
came from New Jersey and far up New
York state. expecting to get back their
money. Some of the investors were
poor washerwomen and seamstresses
who had given their last dollar to the
bucket-shop, tempted by the promises
Of enormous profits. Even the firm S
own typewriters had not received their

ALIEN WOMEN
Must Produce Certificates of Good
Character

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary
Gage has taken steps looking to more
vigorous enforcement of the immigra-
ton laws against the admission into this
country af alien women of immoral
character For long time such women
have been refused admission when their
purpose in coming to this country was
known. and in number of instances the
persons who were instrumental in their
coming have been convicted and are
now serving sentences in the peniten-
tiary. The only question now involved
is whether on information received sub
sequent to their arrival and admission
they can be arrested wherever found and
deported. The secretary accordingly
las directed the commissioner, Cen
eral Stump, to make a te@t case in
which the rights of immigration officials
in the premises be clearly defined.
