HAS COME TO PASS.
One Case is Actually Filed Be-
fore Court of Visitation.

The first case to be brought against a
Kansas railroad is now being prepared
for presentation to the court of vista
ton by b. F. Dole of Mcpherson county.
The case is not important except that
it is the first to be filed to compel the
railroad company to do things which
the officials feel are not justified by the
conditions to be met.
Mr.. Dole is a farmer in Mcpherson
county. The Rock Island runs through
his land, but he is compelled to haul
grain which he buys five miles to Can
ton for shipment. With several neigh
bors. Mr.. Dole conceived the idea of
having a switch or spur put in by the
Rock Island on his farm. The company
has not offered to do this, believing that
the business would not justify the ex-
pense.
Now Mr.. Dole proposes to present
verified information to the court of visi-
tation and ask that proceedings be es-
tablished to compel the Rock Island to
put in this switch.
Another complaint, upon which no ac-
ton has been taken because verified in
formation has not been furnished in ac-
cOrdance with the requirements of law,
comes from New Albany, Wilson coun-
ty, where the citizens of the community
have petitioned the Frisco to put an
agent in charge of the station at that
point The agency has been discon-

representative gathering for Kansas
City than the regiment of Kansas sol
diers would. Every little while we read
in the newspapers of Kansas City itself
that the train robbers own the town.
There is nothing in the talk that
the boys would have more money if
mustered out in San Francisco than
they would if they are brought home
first If they are mustered cut there
they will have to turn in their equip
ment and uniforms, get new outfits and
then pay their own car fare home How
much would be left of their travel pay
by the time they did that and got away
from the sharks of San Francisco? Then
the sick would not come in for that
travel pay, but only those who are in
line when mustered out.
Another thing: When the other two
regiments were brought to Fort Leaven-
worth to be mustered out it took a
whole month to prepare the muster out
rolls. 1t ought not to be so, but there
is no certainty that the same thing
won't happen with the Twentieth. If
it does the boys would have to lie
there in San Francisco a whole month
before they could come home to see
their friends, while if they are mus
tered out in Topeka, after their recep-
ton they could obtain leave of absence
and go home while the muster out rolls
are being prepared"

ZAMBOANGA EVACUATED
By the spaniards After Sharp Fight
With Filipinos.

Madrid, May 27.-The minister of war
General Polavieja, has received dis
patch announcing the evacuation of
Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, by the
Spanish garrison. The dispatch fur
ther said that as the Spaniards had de-
clined to assent to the Filipinos' de-
mands that the arms and munitions of
war should be surrendered with the
city, fighting ensued, the SpaniardS suf-
fering some loss.
The dispatch adds that the natives
continue bitterly opposed to the idea
of American annexation and that the
conquest of Mindanao will prove to be
a hard task.
Following is the full text of the dis
patch, which was sent by General Rios,
Spains military representative in the
Philippines, from Manila:
Arrived here on board the Leon
XIII. The occupation of the Island of
Jolo by the Americans was effected
without special incident. The Ameri-
can warships saluted our flag with 21
guns when it was lowered.
THE Filipino batteries at Zamboan-
ga, Island of Mindanao, continued to
shell the town and the port, causing
losses in our garrison, but finally, after
a lively attack by the Spaniards, the
insurgents fled. They suffered numer-
GUS losses. Our losses were two Of
ficers and three soldiers killed and nine
teen soldiers wounded.
zone company of our troops attacked
a battery which the enemy then aban-
doned. and two other batteries We're
dismounted by our artillery. After this
reverse the insurgents declared their ad-
hesion to Spain and suspended hostili-
ties
THE evacuation of tZamboanga was
accomplished in the most orderly way.
In spite of violent storm, which caus-
ed the loss of several boats and the
stranding of the steamer Porto Rico on
the enemy's coast, every one was safely
embarked.
1.-TWO American warships were placed
at my disposal by the admiral, but we
did not need them. The Spanish flag
was saluted with thirteen guns by the
American ships.
IF the minister for war does not or
der to the cOntrary,I shall sail for Spain
on board the P. De Satrustegui."
The cabinet approved the plans of
General Rios.

FOR WEBB M'NALL.
j. w. MOrphy Goes to Sixth
District to Boom Gar
For Governor.

J. w. Morphy, who was secretary of
the last senate, has decided to asso-
ciate himself with Ben T. Baker in the
publication of the Smith County Journal.
Mr.. Morphy has been with the Advocate
quite active in Populist state politics
since Alliance days. In the early days
of the movement he published the At
wood Times.
Speaking of his change of location
just before leaving the city, Mr.. Morphy
said: Il am glad that circumst tances
are such as to enable me to return to
the Sixth district. In Populist politics
it is the best district in the state, as
the boys always succeed in getting to-
gether and in getting whatever they
go after. L have been for Webb McNall
for governor all along, and 1 am glad
that business arrangements have not
required me to go to some place where
it would not be possible for me to en-
Enthusiastically support him. McNall has
not told his friends that he is going to
be a candidate, but they do not propose
to wait for him to act in the matter.
Smith county people seem to be heartily
in favor of him, and he can undoubtedly
get the support, not only of his own
people, but of the northwest generally.
1 know of no man who is stronger with
the people and who is a safer man for
the place. 1t is conceded that his ad-
ministration of the insurance office was
of great value to the people, who, when
they come to think of it, will conclude
that it will be we'll to permit him to ex-
tend the good work to all other depart
ments. 1 am sure that I will like my
new work, and that we will make the
Smith County Journal the best paper in
the Sixth district

RATES ARE REDUCED.
Fire insurance Companies Make Ten
Per Cent Cut.

Governor Stanley and Superintend-
ent Church in their effort to secure re-
duced insurance rates for Kansas pat
rons of insurance companies have
abandoned temporarily at least, the
plan to accomplish these reductions by
the formation of a general agreement
among the insurance companies.
The Shawnee of Topeka, Continental,
Home of New York, and German of
Freeport, write practically all of the
farm business in Kansas, the Shawnee
leading.
To the representatives of these com
panies Superintendent w. v. Church
made certain suggestions and the COM
panieS have made concessions in rates.
The reduction found in these conces-
sions amounts to from 10 to Is per cent,
but applies only to farm property in
Surance
The reduced rates will be put into
effect as soon as the companies can
prepare the schedules.

DREYFUS' RETURN
Prisoner of Devils Island to
Have Another Trial.

Paris. May 27.-Early this afternoon
it was rumored that the president of
the civil section of the court of cessation
NJ. Ballot De Beaupre, had reported to
the president of the court of cessation,
NJ, Mazeau in favor of a revision of the
Dreyfus trial and sending the prisoner
again before a court martial This la
ter in the day was confirmed by a di-
rect statement that the president of the
civil section had so reported to the
president of the court of cessation.
1t is believed the report is practically
certain to be accepted by the court of
cessation and means that Dreyfus will
be brought back to France and re-
tried

PROCLAMATION OF WAR.
Ellis Davis Sends One of Aguinaldo's
Official Documents.

Topeka friends of Ellis Davis. who is a
member of Company A, Twentieth Kan
sas, have just received from him copy
of Aguinaldo's official proclamation of
war against the United States. This copy,
with others, was captured by the Kansas
boys in the office of Aguinaldo's secretary
at Malolos, after Aguinaldo had hastily
loaded up his capital and removed it to
some other place more remote from the
Kansas boys. The capital was evidently
moved in such a hurry that the secretary
forgot to take all the proclamations along.
The proclamation is printed in four diff
ferent languages, or dialects. on both
inches. In two of the languages Aguin-
aldo signs himself president of the
Filipinos. and in the other two gen.
eral-in-chief of the armies
Across the bottom of the proclamation
Mr.. Davis writes. Find some who
can read it and you will find that Aguin-
aldo is a smart man

A BANKERS SEARCH.
Will Make Another Effort to Recover

George Woodland and wife Of Chicago
are in this city for the purpose of as

MIR. KNOX'S LIABILITIES.
Says He Owed Only $1,000 When
Bankruptcy Petition Was Filed.

Rev. John D. Knox states that when
his petition in bankruptcy was filed in
the United States district court, all OBJ
legations which he had when he went
out of business were listed in the peti-
ton, whether they had been satisfied
or not, and this accounts for his SEEM
ingly large amount of liabilities.
The entire amount of claims filed
against both John D. Knox personally
and against John D. Knox & Co -,
amounted to S41O, 900. OF this $S3 900 were
guaranteed loans, most of which were
fully satisfied by mortgaged property.
Other claims to the amount of $256 600
We're also satisfied, leaving only $71000
in no way provided for. instead of $780,
600 as has been frequently stated.
