PIrTsBURG. Kan, Oct. j. The rumor
that there is sort of a Malta, or II Sc
cret guild of assassins, in Frontenac,
three miles north of this city, becomes
more plausible every day. Three
weeks ago Ed Finn, pit boss at No. /
shaft, was shot and almost killed from
the window of his boarding house. A
week later Cal Dyer, weighmaster,
was shot at by some unknown person
as he was returning from down town
and entering his door. Sunday night
some one shot at Charles Finn, a
cousin of Ed Finn, who was the first
victim selected by the assassns. The
shooting has always been done at
night and no clew to the perpetrators
can be obtained. Several persons have
received mysterious warnings and in
timations that their departure from
the town would be healthy proceed
ing. The residents of Frontenac are
much excited over the various mystic
rious shoOtings.

FoRr SCOTr Kan, Oct. ). - The
heaviest liquor fines ever imposed at
one time in Kansas were assessed
against liquor men yesterday, when
Judge Simons fined IL men $4,000.
Some Of the defendants were managers
of the leading hotels of the city. All
had pleaded guilty Of violating the
law and each was fined from $3.50 to
$500. One father and son were fined
$1,000 and will pay $3.50 fine for an
employee. The court created n surprise
by requiring each defendant to
give in addition to the fine bond
of from $500 to $500 to guarantee
his good behavior for 20 months.
Their attorneys have filed notice Of APP

havior bond law cannot be applied to
the sale of liquor This question has
never been in the supreme court. BE.

Yellow Fever Plague Not Under Control
and Commerce Greatly Depressed.
New ORLEANS, Oct 5. tits generally
admitted in New Orleans that the yell
low fever is spreading, and the disease
will have very depressing effect on
commerce. DR.. Joseph Holt, former
president Of the board OF health, orig.
inator Of the prevailing system Of mari
time quarantine. said that in his
opinion the yellow fever here, the con.
sequent scare and the general quaran.
tine declared against New Orleans
means a loss of SCI, 900, 900 to the city.
Mobile, Ala. the only other city OF
prominence affected, will lose, DR..
Holt thinks. $4,000 900. Other losses.
in his judgment, may make the total
about s3s, 900, 900. This aggregate loss
account will be quite generally dis
tributed, merchants and the railroads
being the chief sufferers.
Thirty-one new cases OF yellow fever
developed in New Orleans, /. IN Ed
wards, four in Mobile and one in
Scranton. Miss. There were two
deaths at New Orleans and two at Ed
wards. The fever appeared in Nitta-
yuma, Miss; four cases are reported.
Twenty-Five new cases are reported
from Biloxi, Miss, and two deaths.

This May Result from the Accession Of
srgasta TO the Premiership.
WASHINGTON, Oct. j.-One result OF
the formation of Sagasta cabinet in
Spain. it is believed, will be the grant
ing Of amnesty to most, if not all, Of
the American prisoners held in Cuba
and the pardon of many Cubans con.
demned to Imprisonment in the island
of Ceuta Although there is continued
reticence at the state department con-
corning Spanish-Cuban affairs, it
is understood that the govern
ment has been informed that Spain
will offer autonomy to Cuba similar to
that enjoyed by Canada, and in admin
istration circles the prevalent opinion
seems to be that If a full measure of
real, autonomy is offered, it should be
accepted by the Cubans. The incom-
ing Of the Sagasta cabinet is welcomed
by the administration, which. several
weeks ago, was apprehensive of pos
sible early disturbance of our friendly
relations with Spain.

THE LAW SUSTAINED
The Stock Yards Case Decided In
the Peoples Favor.
The Low RATES WILL Be ENFORCED
rules Every Principal Contention Of
the stock Yards Company
Notice Of Appeal Given.

TOPEKA, Kan. Oct. 5. After the most
bitterly contested legal battle Kansas
has ever known. the stock yards case
was settled yesterday. Judge Cassius
&. Foster, in the federal court, ruled
that the big corporation at the Kaw's
mouth must obey the law passed by
the last Legislature, making radical re-
auctions in the charges for handling
live stock. In "a clear and vigorous
opinion Judge Foster overrules every
principal contention advanced by the
plaintiff. He declares that the new
law was legally passed by the legisla-
ture; that the charges fixed by it would
enable the company to earn reasona-
Bile return on the capital invested, and
that the business Of the stock yards
company was not interstate commerce.
These were the three principal points
involved in the case. Attorneys for
the stock yards company have signi-
fled their intention of appealing the
case.
Mr.. Getting, y will appear from the
title of the case. asked for the injunc-
ton, and Mr. Boyle and the stock
yards company were made defendants.
While this was the case the stock yards
company was in reality the plaintiff
and Mr.. Boyle the defendant. Mr..
Getting, being a stakeholder and a
nonresident of the state, was used
simply by the company in order to get
the case into the United States court
The attorneys for the stock yards com.
pany, instead Of assisting Mr. Boyle rs
co.defendant, aided and assisted the
attorneys for Mr.. Getting, and the
stock yards company will not only pay
those attorneys, but must pay the costs
that have accrued in the case.
1t was ten o'clock when Judge Fos-
ter began reading his decision. The
attorneys on both sides were present.
Judge Foster read the decision slowly,
and whenever he got through with the
stronger points he looked over his
spectacles by way Of emphasis at the
particular attorney whom he thought
it would most interest. At the conclu-
sion Judge Horton arose and gave no.
tice Of an appeal. He also asked Judge
Foster to grant bond to continue the
restraining order pending further liti-
cation. Judge Foster declined on the
suggestion of Mr.. Boyle and clearly
stated his reasons for doing so The
question of practice then arose, and in
order to dispose of that he promised
not to revoke the restraining order
until Saturday, at which time the
question of practice will come up for
hearing.
The attorneys for Mr. Getting will
take the case on appeal to the circuit
court of appeals and will probably ask
Judge Sanborn to continue the re-
straining order in effect until de-
csion is reached. II this is the case
Mr.. Boyle will ask Judge Sanborn to
require the stock yards company to
make a bond in the sum of at least
$780, 900, protecting the patrons of the
stock yards from overcharges that may
be made pending the final decision of
