Stanley & Vermilrion have appealed
the case Of the American Straw Board
company against the Bank OF Douglas
in which the StEawboard company in
the district court here last May secured
a verdict against the Bank of Douglas
for 1884. The case is the most voluni-
nous paper filed in the appellate court
at Wichita, containing the original case
made along with the bill of trial, errors
and three days evidence in the district
court last spring. TIE suit was brought
by the Strawboard company on the
ground that the old Campbell Produce
company OF this city was in reality the
Bank of Douglass.
The case occupied four days time in
she district court and developed the true
status OF the Campbell Produce COM
peny as disclosed 10y A. E. Lawrence,
its manager, and other witnesses who
testified that the Bank of Douglass was
the real party running the business and
receiving the proceeds The case was
also watched by the members Of the bar
as it involved a great many intricate
questions Of law. Every point in the
case was closely contested by counsel
on both sides. It involved the issue as
TO whether one institution under fic-
titious name or by intermediate men
can conduct another business, without
becoming liable for its obligations.
Several wholesale concerns in this
state and Missouri have accounts
against the defunct produces company
and besides these theRe' are quite
number of individuals holding checks
of the company on the Bank of Doug
lass
When che verdict OF the, jury in the
district court became kno wn, claims 70
the amount of nearly ten, Thousand dol
lars were filed against the bank and
on account of the immensity OF these
bills the cases will be sire nuousiy fought
by the bank. Besides the immediate
material interests involved, there will
be much interest in the case by legal
men in this part of the STATE. Adams
& Adams, who prosecuted tine case in
Rhe district court. will have charge of
the appellate case.

Madrid, Nov. 3.-Senor SaIvani has
| written letter to newspapers here in
| reply to the article on the Cuban ques-
| ton published in an American magazine
Of which Hannis Taylor, the former
! United States minister to Spain, is the
author. The senior says:
Il am astounded at Mr.. Taylors ar
| ticle''
Continuing. he proceeds to tell the
following story:
Il met Mr.. Taylor last April In a
street in Madrid, and, though out Of
prudence 1 asked him nothing, ne eaid:
Spain must not suppress the Cuban in
surrection by force of arms alone. She
must carry out reforms
He did not mention a word about au-
tonomy; but, he added: Peace will then
follow immediat ely. Spain has a friend
in the White House whose powers are
on the eve OF expiring, and she ought to
profit by The opportunity to obtain peace
speedily, for whoever succeeds him, he
is certain to be less favorable to Spain
than President Cleveland
81 recognized the importance Of the
foregoing declaration and FASTENED to
communicate with my friend Canovas
(the former premier) who warmly thank
ed me in latter which I have retained.
Shortly afterwards the reforms Of
Canovas began to be talked about, and
was commissioned to explain them to
Mr.. Taylor, and to tell him that they
would be published within fortnight,
as actually occurred. Mr.. Taylor en-
braced me, saying: You and I will
bring about peace in Cuba, and thus
powerfully contribute to the good Of llu-
mainly and uphold the great interests
Of civilization by ending the war, the
prototype fcrime and a return to bar
barism.'
II again FASTENED to communicate
these words to the proper authorities.
"Just prior to these events. Mr.. Tay-
Tor, at lunch in my house and in COM
pany with CASTELAR, and others. toasted
peace, warmly protesting his admiration
and dove for Spain and expressing the
desire to see us succeed in the work Of
pacification.
Shortly after the election OF Presi-
dent Mckinley, when it was mooted that
Mr.. Sherman would be made secretary
of state, 1 asked Mr.. Taylor If Spain
would not have reason 10 fear man
who in a speech in the senate has dis
played such hatred of Spain.
"Mr. Taylor replied:
"'Don't notice that, for Sherman, as
responsible minister, will change his
opinions. Spain has nothing to fear in
that respect"
In conclusion Senior Salvani says:
"The ideas and sentiments differ
greatly from those attributed to him
now" 4
CARLISTS ARE ARM1NG.
Madrid, Nov. Sowing TO the fact
that tine Carlists are known to be i'm
porting arms into Spain, the premier,
Senior Sagasta, and the minister for war,
General Correa, are considering the
adoption OF repressive measures.
1t is reported that General Azcarra-
gay, who succeeded the late Senior Can
ovas del Castillo az premier, has decided
to retire from political life.

Just For Once.

Two up state farmers, Jerry and Jake,
had been enjoying brief holiday at New
York, and during the trip they had seen a
great many sights. Jerry was rather q
domineering sort of fellow, and, some.
what to his companions annoyance and
humiliation, had taken the lead all day.
In fact, Jake had been trailed about here,
there and everywhere willy nilly without
being consulted, and he was just about sick
of it all. At last it was time to go home.
When they reached the station, Jake
marched upon the platform and jumped
into the first car he saw.

manded Jerry as he came up
ITO please myself, returned Jake sulk-

Jerry. I'm going with it. "
Jake, don't be n fool. This train
doesn't go our way. 1t goes to Chicago,
and that's where 1T will take you if you
don't get out. "

They Were So Unluckyi

A family who live in Peru, where the
skies are so much more placid than the po-
litical temper of the populace, are visiting
in Washington. AS they neared the end
of their sea journey n long, low rumble,
which was readily recognized by the sail
ors as the note of a thunderstorm, sent
dismay into their souls. To them the I'M
familiar reverberation was majestic and
ominous mystery. "What do you suppose
it can beY" inquired the mother, and
pater, not happening to recall any explain
atory illusions which he had met with in
reading books of travel, rose to a sublime
height of moral courage and confessed he
didn't know.
The noise attracted so little attention
among the people around them that they
disliked to make any inquiries for fear of
inviting ridicule, and they sat in silence
and tried to evolve solution for them
selves. 81 believe have it," the eldest
daughter exclaimed. ut goes to show
how unlucky we are" "You don't think
it's bad sign, do your" mot in any
superstitious sense, but when we left home
we congratulated ourselves on having got
away from the political disturbances
which are continually spelling our peace
of mind, but it's 10 use trying to be calm
and peaceable. The fates won't allow it.
1t was our luck to get TO this country just
as they were dragging out the artillery
and starting revolution. "-Washington

MUTlLATED MONEY.
Full Value OF IA Note Is Paid For Frag-

Full Value OF Note Is Paid For Frag-
ments Representing Three-fifths of 1t.
According to the present rule of the re-
demption division of the United States
treasury nothing less than fragments rep
resenting two-flfths of a bank note or
greenback will be redeemed by Uncle Sam.
"If that much of note is presented, the
United States, writes Clifford Howard
on Destroying Million Dollars Day"
in The Ladies' Home journal, Twill allow
the holder one-half the face value of it,
while three flfths of note will be re-
deemed for full value. OF course there are
occasional exceptions to this rule.
"Some time since n man from New
England forwarded bunch of discolored
paper money that he had found buried in
field. 1t had lain in the ground so long
a time and had been SO generously Toasted
upon by worms that it fell to pieces as
soon as it was touched. 1t would have
been utterly impossible for any one unao-
quainted with the secret marks that the
government places on it's bills to gather
these decayed pieces Of money together in
their proper order, but some of tho clerks
in the redemption division of the treasury
are particularly expert in sorting and de-
ciphering bits of mutilated money and
through long years of experience are able
to tell in an instant to what particular
note or kind Of note certain scrap be-
longs. When the pieces contained in this
bunch of old money were finally sorted and
mounted, it was found that while there
was not one complete note remaining mot
more than two or three scraps in some in
stances) the rightful owner was entitled to
a redemption of $500. Unfortunately for
the man who found the money, he could
not prove his ownership, nor could he
make affidavit as to what had become of
the missing portions of the notes. Conse
quont!y the United States was the gamer
in this case. Accidents of this nature are
by no means rare, as is attested by the
number of boxes of charred remnants of
money which are kept among the curious
records of the redemption division "
