STILL IN COURT.

Mr.. Olson. your contract for county
printing was let by Mr.. Swiggett and
Mr.. Marquand, January IL, 1897. The
latter sat upon the board for the sole
purpose of giving you that contract
although his time had expired and
although he had had two successors
elected and qualified and the latest
one ready and authorized to act.
Marquand never attempted to sit
again. He was ouSted by the district
court He took no appeal The de-
ciSion was final. You were not an
innocent party. You knew these
facts then and YOU know now that
Even should Mr. MuSgrave be seated,
he never gave you any contract
You appealed the MuSgrave case.
The district court sustained the con-
test court. You again appealed it to
the supreme court. Awaiting a hear
ing. you lost patience and asked the
supreme court for Il writ of man
damus, restraining the legal board
from paying WORLDS printing bills.
In that court your chances were not
10 to T. but to 1, Populist. Your
claim was so fiimsy that the court
would not even entertain your mo-
tiOn. Was that an eXhi bition OF ar
rogance, impudence and ignorance" by
the court? This was four months ago.
Why did you not tell your readers
that the supreme court of the state of
Kansas was too ignorant to recognize
your claim and had sat down upon it?
You never published a word of it and
now you are hunting another court.
Your claim has been once passed
upon by the contest court, twice by
the district court and once by the su-
preme court: and now you say you are
trying to break into the appellate
court. Do you expect to find a court
so rankly partisan as to let prejudice
override justice and law? Meanwhile
the legal board pays all legal bills in
accordance with the action of the Su-
preme court. They can not do other
wise with respect for the court.
YOu have been in court nearly Il
year. Now you begin again in the
district court for the avowed purpose
of getting into the appellate court. 1t
may take another year to get deci-
sion there. Must the public business
of Trego county be held in abeyance
until then? The supreme court says
not and says that the commissioners
must pay bills regardless of pending
actions. You asked that court to re-
verse itself but il refused. Who was
arrogant. fmpudent and ignorant?
The county attorney has never ad-
viSed the commissioners that you have
a legal. or just or honest claim against
the county. There is not an attorney
in the county who will even pretend
that you have. The county attorney
did cite the commissioners to Il deci-
sion of the supreme court of this
state that juStitieS the payment of
WORLDS claim and which says that
your recourse is against WORLD, if
you have any grounds for action at
all. The supreme court says that the
county can not be forced to pay a
second time and it further says that
the commissioners can not delay pay
ment pending action in court In
your mandamus proceedings the court
re-affirmed this opinion
You say you will not again ask the
board to pay your claim. How then

came to Trego county in the spring of
1878. a few years previous to this he
had taken a thorough course of in
struction at the University of Michi-
gan at Ann Arbor. which he supple
mented by actual practice at railroad
surveying in Northern Michigan.
When elected county surveyor of
Trego. the counties of Cove. Logan
and Wallace were attached to it.
While in that position he plated the
town sites of Ennis City, jerome.
Logansport and McAllester. He also
laid out and plated ,Schell City on
the south line of the county, and
Swift City, a few miles southwest Of

the central committees of such
parties, if such there be.
Trustee Johnson, of Wa-keeney
township, asked several prominent
Populists after the Populist conyen-
ton, who was chairman of their cen
tral committee. He was told that
they had elected none.
The convention seIectel | committee
men September IL. Johnson waited
for the committee to elect its chair
man. The Independent of October
l6 said that the committee met
October and elected j. NJ. Rinker
chairman. Johnson waited until
Saturday afternoon. October 23. for
Mr. Rinker TO recommend a Populist
Judge and clerk of election in Wa
keeney township. He made no
recommendations Mr.. johnson then
appointed w T. Barber as judge and
q. Il. Galloway as clerk This was
barely ten days before election. He
could wait no longer.
Mr.. johnson did receive a recon-
mendation Friday evening. October
10. t bore no date, but was post
marked October II. 1t Was in the
handwriting of G. NJ. Ufford and bore
the signature of E. ID. Wheeler as
chairman. In the same mail he got
copy of the independents saving
that Rinker was elected the Populist
chairman October Mr.. Wheeler
was not even a member of the com
mittee and had not been since Sep
tember II. when a new committee
was chosen. Their names can be
found in the Independent of Septem-
ber 1s.) His last official act was to
call to order the convention which
selected his successor.
!. This Ufford- Wheeler paper recon-
mended J. NJ. Rinker and w. L
Olson as Populist Judge and clerk of
the akeeney Board.
A bOut this time ((lctohar III ITffnra
met w. G. Olson in D. III. Henkels
office in the evening. Ufford asked
Olson who HE wanted for Populist
members of the Wa-Keeney election
board. He named J. NJ. Rinker and
w. l.. Olson with the remark there
are two they can't intimidate.'' Uf-
ford did the writing. fThis is sup
ported by affidavit of A. T. Green
wood
Now it seems the above named
men are not satisfied with Mr. Barber
and Mr. Galloway and have began
mandamus proceedings to force Mr..
johnson to appoint the men supposed
to be recommended by last years
chairman, when he was not member
of the committee and after new
chairman was elected. We can not
now give the result. Johnson is cited
to appear at Colby, October %.
Mr.. Barber and Mr. Galloway make
affidayits that they are now and have
been PopuliSts for years. The former
was elected Populist trustee of River
side township three years ago and was
nominated by the Populists for road
overseer in District No 4. Wa-Keeney
township, only last month. The lat
ter was a candidate for nomination
before the Populist County Conven-
tion last September. Their character
as citizens and their reputation for
intelligence and sobriety needs no
supporting affidavits. They are gen
tlemen. They are neither brawlers
nor drunkards. Their appointment
is credit to their party and wholly
satisfactory to the common voters of
that party who regard them as fairly
representative of their number jam
Rinker and Wallow Olson NAV be
taken as representatives of its mana
gers.

ing was not laid over until the next

THE FAIR CASE.
Another Delay Necessitated by the
Movements of Attorneys.

San Francisco, April 22.-As the Fair
case was apparently ready to proceed
TO trial today, another delay was neces-
STATED by a new move on the part OF
Mrs. Craven's attorneys. Yesterday the
administrators of the Fair estate who
are complainants with the Fair heirs
against Mrs. Craven, asked and OBJ
tanned permission to amend their COM
plant to quiet title, as they had made
a mistake in the description of the
property.
The Craven attorneys today filed
their amended answer to the complaint,
but il contained no part of the former
cross-complaint and all the equitable
issues which had been carefully raised
by the administrators in their answers
TO the former cross complaint were
thus DESTROYED. Instead of the expected
sensational Fair case with it's elaborate
pleadings of forgery and fraud. a
blunder in the description gave the
Craven attorneys the opportunity to
narrow the action down to e. simple
action TO quiet title. This could be
heard by a trial jury, not merely an ad-
visory jury as in the contemplated trial
of EQUITABLE issues. The administra-
tors argued that the question of the
genuineness of forgery of the Craven
deeds was the real point at issue, and
made arguments on this point. The
court ruled that the cross-complaint
could not be dismissed at this stage
and ordered the case to go to trial on its
merits

Wrenched and Racked

BY the pangs of rheumatism, the joints
eventually become grievously distorted,
and sometimes assume an almost gro
teEque deformity. To prevent such re-
suits by a simple and agreeable means
is certainly the part Of wisdom A
tendency to rheumatic ailments may
be successfully combatted with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, a medicine
with the prestige of a long and sue
cessful career, of unbounded popular
ity, and of emphatic professional in
dorsement. 1t removes from the blood
those infiammatory impurities which
Psychologists assign as the cause of
rheumatism, and not only purities the
life current, but enriches it, promoting
vigor by fertilizing its source. Diges-
ton, the action of the bowels and the
secretion of the bile are aided by it,
and it impels the kidneys and bladder
to a regular and active performance of
their functions. 1t is besides a thor
oughly reliable remedy for, and means
of preventing, periodic fevers.

The petition of Hamilton G. Park for
a writ of injunction against Charles F.
Fisher, his wife and Joe Bush, TO pre-
vent the defendants from interfering
with the plaintiff or preventing him
from taking possession of the Manitou
hotel, came up before Judge Hiles yes
terday morning.
Attorneys John NJ. Zane, ]. H. Moyle
and George Costigan, jr., appeared for
the plaintiff and Judges Anderson and
Mcdowell for the defendants.
Judge Anderson of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS cited the fact that the COM
plant had only been filed on the previ-
Gus day and asked the court TO allow
his clients few days to file their an
Swer
Attorney Moyle opposed any delay
and pressed very hard for an immedi-
ate hearing. He claimed that Fisher
was trying TO run bluff on Park and
when he saw it wouldn't do was
anxious to become Parks tenant. Coun-
sci further said that he had signed
contract by which Fisher agreed to va
cate the premises on a certain date now
passed and that there is $4,000 worth
of property. which Park claimed, now
in the possession of Fisher.
Judge Anderson claimed that Park
was owing Fisher good sum of money.
which ought to have been paid over,
but was not, and that Fisher had made
Improvements on the premises TO the
amount of s1,700.
The attorneys squabbled away for
awhile without doing much damage
and Judge Hiles settled the point by
giving Fisher until Saturday to file an
answer, when the case will be called
up again.

Meeting of the County Commits
sioners Yesterday.

The board of county commissioners
held a session of a few minutes dura-
ton yesterday afternoon. but as Chair
man Armstrong was absent and no
action could be taken on the bond is
sue it was decided to adjourn over
until next Monday.
Shortly after adjournment, Governor
Wells called upon the commissioners
and informed them that the state
board of land commissioners will take
about $4,000 of the proposed bond is

funds. The land board will make an
offer TO take the bonds at par and ac-
crued interest, over all of which the
commissioners feel greatly encouraS ed.
The amount of the issue has not
been decided upon yet. The county

LIQUOR IN IOWA.
Legislature Will Pass a Law Making
Its Manufacture a Legal Pro-
cesdine.


Des Moines. Ia. April 22.-The last
doubt about the enactment OF a law
allowing the manufacture of liquor
in Iowa has been removed by the ac-
ton of the committee of the house con-
curing in the senate amendment TO
the mulct law which allows manufac-
ture, except that the house slightly
amended one of the senate amend
ments so that the aid of the law can
not be invoked to assist the collection
of saloon-keeDers' bills.
AS soon as the bill came I'D an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Martin,
limiting the legalzing of liquor bills
to sales by manufacturers and whole
salers This was discussed at cOnSid-
cradle length and was adopted by a
vote of 90 to 40. Prohibitionists, in
supporting the amendment, bitterly as
sailed what they called a backward
step in repeating a law that had been
in existence for 40 years. making liquor
bills uncoIlectible. All the amend
ments of the senate. including the
manufacture scheme, with the excep-
ton of the Druet amendment. were
then adopted by a vote of So to Al. The
amendment by Senator Druet was next
adopted. 1t allows cities between
$500 and 5000 population to secure the
operations of the mulct law upon the
written consent of 8 per cent OF the
votes. The bill now returns to the SEN
ate where the only question will be on
the concurrence of the Martin amend
ment in regard to the saloon keepers
bill and that will undoubtedly Nbe ac-
cepted by a large majority. making the
enactment of the bill absolutely GER
