COWley County Loses in a Rail-
road Bond Fight.
Court Decides Interest Must Be
Paid For 30 Years.
FIRST VOTED TEN.
BelOit Man Missing Since Last
Christmas
Found ON a TrOt Line by a
Fisherman.
FIRST VOTED TEN.

Wichita, March 19.-Cowley county lost
in the legal battle here yesterday before
the United States circuit court against
eastern creditors in bond suit.
In 1873 or 1873 the people of Cowley coun-
ty voted $4,000 of bonds to the Southern
Kansas railroad. The petition for the
election and the order of the county COM
missfoners authorizing the bond issue pro-
vided that these bonds should be payable
at the option of the county after ten
years, but were due in thirty years and
had to be paid at that time, the bonds
bearing per cent interest.
The chairman of the board of county
commissioners, instead of issuing the kind
of bonds ordered by the people with their
votes, executed bonds due in thirty years.
bearing Z per cent interest.
The county paid its interest promptly,
and after ten years made arrangements
to pay its bonds with money obtained at
per cent It deposited the money at the
fiscal agency in New York, and SO, 900 was
surrendered and Cancelled in 1892. The
holders of the other SIS. 600 however, re-
fused to surrender their bonds, clipped
the coupons for the year 1892 and sold
them to Geo. Head of West Chester, Pa,
who commenced suit in the United States
court here to get his money.
Judge Williams held that the county
was bound by the recital in the bond. to-
wit: That the county could not compel
the holders to take the money until the
thirty years had expired, Notwithstanding
the fact that the plaintiff had sufficient
information or knowledge that the people
voted a ten-thirty bond instead of the thir-
ty year bond that was issued.
COWley county could now borrow the
money to pay these bonds at per cent in
stead of z, saving the county about 81, 800

WHAT A CITY CAN DO.

The experiments in supplying Ordina-
nv needs of jewellers in cities by the
municipality, which have been going
forward in England and Scotland dur
ing recent years have been carefully
watched by the people interested IN
such matters throughout this country
Every evidence of success or failure
has been carefully noted
Metropolitan journals, from time to
time, have sent special representatives
to Glasgow. Manchester and other large
centers of population where these ex-
periments are being tried to investigate
and report on the progress being made
by the municipal conduct of street car
service, waterworks and lighting plants
The conclusion has in nearly every case
been the same, that the new way is bet
ter than the old.
The municipal authorities of one of
the London parishes have recently in
augurated an experiment on a broader
line than anything previously attempted
LastJuly they erected an electric plant to
furnish light and power for both public
and private purposes, and at the same
time to consume the street sweepings
and rubbish for fuel. It proves to be
a great success. The light was first
turned on July Is, 1897. During the
IISL quarter the loss was dDOuL %AsOVO-
During the second quarter there was a
profit of $4,000 and the increase is so
great that a profit of $4,000 is expected
for the present quarter and a total Of
$4,000 for the year.
The plant has been run since the 18th
of July without the expenditure of a
penny for fuel. The street sweepings
have been found to be sufficient, and
heretofore it has cost the parish from
600 to $4,000 to dispose of them The
only time the light has failed was one
night in February when one of the en-
gines blew out the back of it's cylinder
and the reserve engine could not be
started for a few moments. But the
light was restored again before COM
plants began to come in. The vestry
has advertised for proposals for three
additional engines and dynamos, which
are needed Immediately because of the
great demand for small power. The
parish is the center of the cabinet-mak-
ing trade and small manufacturers
have found it a great convenience as
well as economy.

DIAZ TO STOP BULLFIGHTS
Killing of a Famous Matador May Put
a Stop to the Sport in Mexico.

Monterey. Mex, March 19.-It is report
ed here that President Diaz will endeavor
to put stop to bull fighting in the re-
public. This course is attributed direct
ly to the tragedy here Sunday, when a
famous matador was fatally gored and a.
woman bull fighter was injured.
The better element has become disgust
ed with the terrible brutality of the sport,
and but few persons of the higher
classes were in attendance al the bull ring
Caro- Chico, renowned throughout the re-
public matador of extraordinary skill,
gave a special performance for the benefit
of a large party of eXcurSiOnists from the
states. While trying to kill the second
bull he caught the animals horns
and thrown into the air several feet. He
had no sooner struck the ground than the
bull rushed upon him and gored him
again. Had it not been for the frantic
efforts of his assistants, Chico would have
met immediate death. The spectators
numbered fully eight thousand, among
them being many American women, some
of whom tainted
