City Court.

Business was rushing at the city
court this morning, there being sin eases
on the docket, four up for drunkenness
and two for breach of the peace.
The first ease called was Joseph
Dudley, who pleaded guilty to the charge
of intoNication. Another fellow, name
unknown, had three pints and gave him
some. Result: He got hilarious and
was locked up. His fun cost him

The second case was John J. Giles,
arrested for intoXication. lie made no
satisfactory disclosure and he is now
thinking it over in Il cell.
Fred Stephens pleaded guilty to the
charge Of disturbing the peace and paid
&13.UG for his scrap. Probably he will
think before he strikes next time.
David Leod, who earns Il living by
polishing stone, was up for drunkenness.
David also pleaded guilty and told a
smooth story about finding Il bottle OF

OF unknown persons who are so literally

and then again, it is passing strange
that full bottles are laying around loose

wild unsupported assertion OF a SCISSORS
Editor not one hundred miles away. I'D
fine last issue of the Barre City Directory
appears IN advertisement OF ano'her
Barre paper which Says that the paper
is the only newspaper in Barre WIN
tbc news underlined. Toone who knows
the facts the attempt on the part OF this
uCljppcr of news" to be funny Will
seem ridiculous, but look at the facts.
The EvENING TELEGRAM is the only
paper published in Barre which Is
member of the Associated Press, the
EVENING TELEGRAM is the only paper
published in Barre that has plate ser
vice each day from New York ; and the
only paper able to give the latest news
in detail. The EVENING TELEGRAM
paws more money for securing local and
telcgraphic news than any other Barre
paper. The sales of the EVENING TELE-
GRAM are ahead of that ever given any
other Barre paper when no older than
the TELEGRAM. The sale of the paper
has doubled in one month. The EVEN
ING TELEGRAM docs not desire or al
TEMPT to deceive the public and when it
could not give the Associated Press
service Thursday owing to the heavy
storm it came out and said so, when
we might have rewritten the matter
which was published in the Boston morn
inc papers of that day, which some
other publishers of newspapers?
have often done, but we promptly told
the truth concerning the matter
Now as to local matter. Some weeks
aoo the TELEGRAM stated that the wa
ter in the Bolster reservoir was very
low and that East Barre water would
have TO be turned on. This caused an
alleged "ncv spaper' to spend stick
full Of space in Il vain effort. The East
Barre water was turned on. Now to
show whether the conccitcd "package
wrappcr' is The only newspaper i'll Barre.
Look at the following items which have
been published in the EVENING TELE-
GRAM during the past few days. Notice
the days on which they were published
in the TELEGRAM and then observe the
date they appeared i'll the other paper
which darcs publish the unsupported
assertion that ii is the only newspaper
No wonder when these facts are read
that a well known Barre granite cutter,
says that "hc finds articles in the TELE-
GRAM one night and in another so call

bon, Declares That Joints Can
he Kept Closed.
Topeka, Jan. 2o.-(Special.) County At
torney Sheppard. of Fort Scott. is in the
city trying to get the board of pardons
to report favorably upon an application for
a pardon for one of his townsmen. who is
now residing at Lansing. Sheppard de-
clares that he did not convict the fellow.
Neither he nor the board will give the con-
victS name.
Sheppard says that the whisky war has
all blown over at Fort Scott. There are
no saloons. he says. but plenty of boot
leggers. He says that the most persistent
and chronic violators of law are saloon-
keepers in general and jointkeepers in par
ticular. "AIl this talk about the officials
not being able to drive the joints out Of
is the officials don't want to. 1 don't see
why SO many officials compromise them
selves by taking a little wad of Doodle

spised by their fellow men. There is not a
city in this state where the law cannot be
enforced If the officials are determined on
the duty Of the sheriffs to furnish the in

pected to do it. In my case. however. I
was driven to it. This thing of trying to

BLAMEs THE NEWSPAPERS.
E~asterwood Says They Have Defeated
His Efforts to Harmonic the
Populist Factions.

Chairman G. B. E~asterwood, Of the Wy
andotte county Populist central committee,
says that he believes that a certain publi-
cation lied" when 1t stated that he talked
too much. IF l talk too much, I don't
know it," said he to a reporter for The
journal, and I don't think there is a good
meaning Pop or Democrat in the county
who will say such a thing about me-. I
have undertaken to harmonic the Popu-
lists and Democrats in this county, and I
will accomplish what 1 started out for IL
the blamed newspapers will only treat me
right"
The Pop chairman is having a great deal
of trouble. He is being abused by all fac
tons, but still he is fighting for harmony.
In speaking about the Foran case, he
stated that he was for the reinstatement
of Patrolman Foran. Last week Chairman
Easterwood was opposed to Foran being
put back on the force. from q party stand
point. However, since Foran has gathered
a few facts concerning things that nave
taken place behind the scenes and threat
ened the police department with an ex-
pose. the Pop chairman has changed his
mind and is of the opinion that Officer
Foran should be given one more trial. 8
The Kansas City. Kas.. police commits
sioners will investigate Foran's case at to-
morrow nights meeting. While members
of the board have confidently declared that
Foran must go. 1t was stated upon good au-
thority yesterday that the charge Of drunk
enness would be dropped and that Officer
Foran would be assigned to a beat again.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 2o.-tSpecial.) In his
reply to the ingalls, interview a few days
ago. Cy Leland told an amusing story OF
how o BreIdenthal. chairman OF the
Pop state committee. during the campaign
in '92. worked ingalls, on the postal card
racket. That story was absolutely correct,
except possibly as to the exact number or
postal cards which Breidenthal had the
Pops send Ingalls,. But the iridescent
statesman is not the only Republican Brei-
denthal worked while chairman OF the Pop
committee. There were others. Leland
himself was one OF them, although ne
doesn't know It yet, and won't until ne
reads this.
Leland was chairman of the Republican
state committee in 1894, when Governor
Morrill, was the nominee for governor. He
surrounded himself with trusty subordi-
mates at headquarters. and conducted a
vigorous campaign. During the last few
weeks of the battle he evolved several
plans which he wanted to work secretly.
but whenever he started out one of them
It was always TO find that Brei-
denthal had %.coppered" 1t. He could not
understand 1t. He accused some of tho

didn't stop. Leland could not make a move

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 20.-(Special.) The
New York Life Insurance Company, one Of
the three companies barred out Of the state

AN UNPAID GAS BILL.
1t Was Incurred Mt u Silver blowout,
but Riddle Shut on Talk by
laying 1t.

Topeka. Kas., Jan. 2o.-(SpeciaI.) The
free silverites who held a state conference
here n day last week left town without
liquidating all their debts. Whether it
was due to an oversight or because the
per capiter of the country is not sufficient
to do a cash business on" is not known.
1t is barely possible. from the character Of
the bill. that neither of the reasons given
above will apply. 1t was a gas bill. While
they were gassing at the conference, the
gas company Of Topeka was running up a
gas bill on the outfit. 1t amounted to 81,
and was not paid. The company to-day pre-
sented the bill to Taylor Riddle. chairman
of the Pop state committee. Riddle de-
clared that, while 1t was a free silver Re-
publican blowout, he reckoned the compa-
ny considered it a Populist sideshow, and
he paid the bill out of the treasury Of the
Pop committee. So it develops that the
Pop administration not only furnished the
silverites a free hall and free speakers.
but also had to pay their gas bill. So far
the free silverites have not asked the Pop
committee to reimburse them for car fare
and hotel bills. but Chairman Riddle would
not be surprised If they did.
