Fixers, Beware.

There are rumors afoat that a few
political fixers in the POpulist and
Democratic camps, are already at
work getting up slate for the next
state campaign. If this be true, let
them beware, for they are reckoning
without their hosts. The rank and
file of the POpulist party in Kansas
were never more aroused than now,
and they mean that right shall tri-
umph over wrong. If, therefore, judg.
ment has already begun at "the house
Of God" with the people, the political
ungodly and sinners will not appear
in nomination in the coming campaign.

DoBNEY VS. DAuBNEY.
The Case begun Conspiracy charged
in the Wrongful Procurement
Of $1,000 Of Securities.

Yesterday notices of suit were
served upon DR.. F. w. Daubney and
j. w. Daubney, in which what has
been foreshedowed in these columns
for weeks became actual facts.
Stripped of legal phraseology the
parties named are charged with a
conspiracy by which certain securi
ties (to-wit: Q) a certain certificate of
deposit of $4,000 cash in state bank
at Elton, s. D.; (g q note for $4,000
given in 1896 by j. zuckmayer and
Charles Trzcinski, due in 1898; and
90 a mortgage for $4,000 on 16O acres
of land in Wisconsin; total amount
ing to $1,000 belonging to the estate
of Geo. Daubney, dec eased, were
"wrongfully procured by the said F..
w. Daubney andJ. W. Daubney, de-
PENDANTS, they both being parties to
the wrongful procurement of said
1000 worth of secu rites.
The paper is lengthy and we have
not space at command to give it in
fall this week. We wish, at this time
to call attention to the fact that this
positively con tradicts two widely
spread misstatements that have been
current for couple of weeks past,
viz:
/. That the case is purely polit
ical one and nothing more would be
heard OF it after the county conven-
tion.
g. That it contradicts with equal
force the equally positive assertions,
scattered exnltingly and broadly,
that Judge Fellows decision settled
the whole matter.
s. 1t is equally clear that behind
the comparatively mild expression
"wrongfully procured" and the
charge that both these persons were
parties to such wrongful procure
ment, there is a hand of steel. 1t they
mean any thing these few words have
a mighty import.
4. This suit is brought in the first
term of court after the firm of Willet,

services having been made in the

ming. The petition will more explicit
ly set forth plaintiff claim and that
will be on file on or before Sept. 18th
and defendants must answer, if the.
respond, at the term of court begin
