Cowley County Populists Go All the
Cats in Convention.

Winfield. May 30-The Cowley coun-
ty Populist convention Saturday, was
watched with great interest, because,
it was rumored that the county might
go against the administration, but the
following resolutions are self-explana-
tory, and cover everything political.
Resolved, The Peoples party of Cow

ercised in the selection of candidates

and that all useless offices be abolished,
boards consolidated, and the affairs of

nOmical manner.
Resolved, That we commend Cover

the excellent administration given the
people and for the exposition of the

We favor a vigorous prosecution of

but their pOSterity. We also demand
ample compensation for the Maine, and
large indemnity for the loss of 266 pat
riots, so foully murdered by the treach-
erouS and inhuman SpaniardS.
We are unalterably opposed to the

RAILROAD NEWS.
Rock Island Virtually Wins
Important Suit
Which Establishes the Right of
Condemnation.
A LOYAL ENGINEER.
Story of the Lineman in Kan
sas
Who Narrowly Escaped Drown
ing on Top of a Pole.

Wellington, May 30.-In the case Of
p. H. Albright versus the Rock Island,
the plaintiff secured a judgment in the
district court but the sum was so small
comparatively as to amount to a vic
tory for the company. The award was
for 81, 1885, whereas on a former trial
he had obtained a verdict for $4,000.
This was set aside by Judge Burnette
and a new trial granted.
Albright was the owner of a mort
gage on a piece of property adjoining
the city of Caldwell on the south, across
which the Rock Island road runs. The
company secured a right of way over
the tract by condemnation, but without
making the mortgage a party to the
proceedings. The mortgage was Subse-
quently foreclosed and the land was
sold by the sheriff, Albright buying in
the property including the railroad
The company then condemned a right
of way through the land, but neither
party was satisfied with the damages
awarded and both appealed. The jury
took the view that Albright's damages
were merely nominal and returned
verdict for the above amount.
The railroad company was repre-
scented in the trial by Frank Evans of
Topeka and G. E. Elliott of this city,
w. T. Madden and Grant Stafford of
Winfield and James Lawrence repre-
scented Albright.

WATER CAME TO HIM.
Santa Fe Lineman Has a Narrow
Escape From Drowning.

The story is told of Santa Fe lineman
who was working on the prairie in the
short grass country when heavy rain
suddenly came up. There was no shelter
within several miles for him to make for,
he stood at the foot of the telegraph
pole and waited. The track was graded
and the pole stood in a ditch about 20 feet
wide and six or seven feet below the level
of the track. The winds came and the
rain descended and the ditch commenced5
to fill up with water The lneman did
climb to the top of the pole until the
water ran off. He climbed up and, sit
ting in the cross trees, he watched the
water climbing higher and higher on the
pole and laughed to himself to think how
he had escaped it. He laughed until it
dawned upon him that the water was
running into the basin from the surround
ing slopes and that it would not run off
there. There was about ten feet of
fact was he was ''shipwrecked' on the
rolling swells of the prairie and not even
a prairie schooner in sight to rescue
him He took off his coat and resolved
to flag the first train. Soon along came
freight winding slowly over the prairie.
He easily caught the engineers eye and
when the pole was reached the engineer
stopped and asked what was the matter
Il want to be rescued said the man
on the pole.
wen, swim over here and we will pull
you into town"
But I can't SWIM So a long board
was gotten off of one of the fiat cars half
way up the pole and the man up the pole
slid over to the car, with the addition of
a few slivers, vowing he would always stay
on dry land.

ENGINEER LOYAL
Nevertheless He Was Reversed by
the Court.

Cincinnati, O., May 30-Whether or not
a judge of the circuit court has the power
to hold and delay a United States mail
train the peculiar proposition put be-
fore Judge James P. Tarvin of CoVing-
ton. KY, Saturday, and without the
slightest hesitation or embarrassment
Judge Tarvtn assumed that even the de-
prerOgatives of his court, and he demon
strated that fact in the twinkling of an
eye.
c. NJ. Lively, an engineer on. the C. &
Q. railroad, was a witness in the case of
Granger VS.. Davis, md when the witnesses
were all admonished to be present at 1870
p. m, Mr.. Lively indignantly offered an
objection and vouchsafed the startling in
telligence that a United States mail train
depends on my taking it out tonight, and
cannot comply with the order of the
court"
Judge Tarvin, twirling his spectacIes,
meekly but firmly replied: Mr.. Lively
you, will be present tonight. whether the
mail train comes in or goes out, or
the Spanish squadron comes out or has
gone, you will be here; do not forget that,
and the court will hear no further objec-
tions, and your motion is overruled." And
the prophetic utterance of the judge
proved true, as Mr.. Lively was present at
night, and had no remarks to suggest rela-
tive to the delay caused to the mail train.

SUSPECTS AT LARGE.
Ft. Taylor Miscreants Have Eluded
Their Pursuers.

Key West, May 3o.-The three sup
posed Spaniards who tried to blow up
the mortar battery near Fort Taylor
Thursday night have not yet been cap
tured. Captain Merrill commandant
at the fortifications had armed search
parties out looking for them last night,
and today the torpedo boat Porter has
been scouting in the adjacent waters in
search of them, but without success.
They are thought either to have gotten
safely off to Cuba or to be in hiding on
one of the neighboring keys.
Two of the suspects were seen driv-
ing along the beach road near the forti-
fications Saturday afternoon. They
were followed to the,eastern end of the
island, where they We're joined by a
third man. All boarded a row boat
and made for Stock island, a neighbor-
ing key.
One, who is thought to be the leader,
carried a rifle. When last seen their
boat was approaching a sIoop or.
schooner lying off Stock island This
morning both sloop and small boat were
gone. The authorities have detailed
descriptions of the men.

KANSANS WILL FIGHT.
Brigadier General Otis Compliments
Sunhower Volunteers.

Harrison Gray Otis of California, re-
Gently appointed brigadier general, is
the editor of the Los Angeles Times.
General Otis is a veteran of the civil
war, and has the reputation of being
a splendid soldier. The Kansas regiment
now in California will be a part of his
command. Speaking of the Kansas
boys, the Los Angeles Times says:
Those lads from Kansas may have
to tie on their hats, but if they get
after the Spaniards the dOns may find
it necessary to tie on their heads. The
prairie born boys demonstrated their
fighting capacity in the 80 on many a
bloody field, and let US not forget that
Kansas in the last war, sent more
troops to the front in proportion to
population, than any other state in the
union. The sunf1ower soldiers may not
be much for pretty and picturesque, but
we are willing to back their valor as
long as there is a shot in the locker"

DEMAND EXCESS FARES.
Competing Lines Antagonize Rock
Islands New Train.

A new trouble has arisen over the fast
train service to Denver The new train
just put by the Rock Island between
Chicago and Denver, by reason of it's Kan
sas City connections, has reduced the time
between the latter point and Denver, and
the Burlington demands that an excess
fare of 81 be charged from Kansas City,
the same as from Chicago. This the Rock
Island will not agree to, taking the
ground that if an extra fare is charged
from Kansas City the same rule should
apply to Omaha and other Missouri river
points. A meeting of the general pas
senger agents was held in Chicago May
II to consider the matter but nothing was
accomplished. AS it is admitted that
these fast trains are being operated at a
loss the probabilities are that the time
will be reduced, so as to permit the North
western. Burlington and Rock Island to
take off the excess fare.

SHARKS WERE THERE.
Lights and Shadows of the Havana
Blockade

Blockade.
copyrighted 1898, by the Associated
Press.)
Key West, May 30.-Life on blockade
duty has it's bright as we'll as its dull
sides. While the large vessels of the
blockading fleet are envied by the
smaller craft, as those likely to be in
"at the DEATH in a naval battle, the
boats of the mosquito fleet are the only
ones at present getting the benefit of
the sport attendant upon a summer
cruise in southern seas.
The battleships and cruisers stand too
high out of water and the decks of the
monitors lie too often buried under the
waters to offer facilities for bathing
fishing or shark shooting.
The gunboats, yachts and dispatch
boats on the other hand, although
wooed to a life of a scouting, patroling
and coast surveying are especially
adapted by reason of their light draft
and low freeboard to follow the chase
after fish and fowl while fulfilling the
duties to which they are assigned
Off Diana Key, commanding the en-
trance to CardenaS harbor lies a gun
boat placed there to prevent the es-
cape of Spanish so-called gunboats re-
ported bottled up in the port.
The consequent leisure afforded to it's
crew enables the men to spend the day
ashore shooting gullS and hunting eggs
by sea fowl of every description.
Beyond, under the lee of Point Icacos
light, the rocks form a natural break
water, which renders bathing perfectly
safe and secure from the unwelcome in
trusion of sharks which abount in Gu
ban waters.
No better means of discovering
masked batteries exist than that of Of
fering to the enemy a human target
about to take a plunge in hostile waters
Off the Playa del Chivo, to the east
ward of MORO castle, where the upright
plates of the "City of Alexander jut-
ting out of the restless waves involun-
tarily remind you of the more recent
wreck in Havana harbor, the hungry
sharks of the Gulf stream seem to have
established their headquarters.
Fifteen or twenty Of these brown
skinned, white bellied monsters hang
around a passing vessel or follow it for
miles, their sharp pointed fins sticking
straight out of the water
A chunk of meat tossed overheard
will bring three or four of these raven
Gus creatures to the surface, present
ing an ample bulls eye to the eager and
alert officers who pepper them with
pistol and rifle shot. 1t is seldom that
a shot buries itself in any vulnerable
part of, the sharks anatomy, but it af-
fordS rare sport and offers an excel
lent opportunity for rifle practice and
good craftsmanship. Taken all in all,
life on blockade duty has it's joys and
pleasures as well as it's WEAKNESS and
diSappOintmentS.

CARDENAs CLOSED.
Spaniards Obstruct the Entrance to
the Harbor.

On Board the Associated Press Dis
patch Boat, off Cardenas, May 20, via
Key West, May 30.-Cardenas harbor
has been completely closed by the
Spaniards since the attack of the Wins
low and other American boats. This
fact was demonstrated yesterday by the
attempt of the English steamship Myr-
tie Dene to enter the port to take on
cargo of sugar. The Myrtle Dene had
begun to take on cargo, when war was
declared and she was ordered out by the
American gunboat Machias. The steam
er's owners claimed that under the
blockade proclamation, she was entitled
to thirty days to load and Secretary of
the Navy Long gave the ship permits
sion to return and complete her cargo.
She found the harbor was filed with
sunken distractions and could not get
in. She lies outside the harbor, uncer-
tain whether to attempt to bring her
cargo out in lighters or wait for the war
to end.
The waters Of Cardenas are too shall
low for big ships and the Winslow trag-
edy probably closes the history of naval
operations in that quarter.

Faure is Reassuring.

Paris, May 3O.-M. Faure,. at the unveil-

of 1870 at St. Etienne, today, referred in
the course of his speech to the Spanish
American war, expressing his regrets that
the efforts of France and the other powers
had failed to prevent conflict.
The president declared France was re-
solved to maintain the strictest neutrality
and he said he earnestly hoped that the
effOrst of the neutral powers would sue
coed in restoring peace.
