THE SALOON QUESTION WAS ABLY DISCUSSED SUN
 DAY.
DAMNABLE LAWLESSNESS
Rev. Anderson Very Much Aroused. School Board Should Not Accept
 The $5.OO Donations.

As Q result of an item published in the Graphic several days ago, and the Mems meeting at the Institute Sunday, the pastors of the city were very forcible in their disapproval in their pulpits Sunday of the late agreement between Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells and the saloon men,
 Rev. J. A. Andersoon of the M. E. Church South was very indignant t over the affBir and delivered very ringing sermon on the question, 8 synopsis of which is given below
 He said: "I have been told that the prosecuting attorney of this district has entered upon an agree ment with the saloon men, that if they contribute $5 per month or $60 per year each to school district No. 3, they would be allowed to sell drinks from their back doors on Sunday on the sly. Thisis not right. It is blood money and the schoo! board should not accept it.
 I am not making a personal att tack upon the Prosecuting A ttor- ney. have nothing against him, but all I want to do is to see the law enforced. l am not in politics and do not intend to get into poli- tics, but I am Tn favor of upbuildIng the morals of the city.
 The school board ought to be as honest as Judah. and when they dis. cover corruption in their funds, they should castit at the feetfrom whom it came.
 "All I have to say is, if the people of this Christian Hand will quietly submit to such damnable awlessness the spires of their churches instead of pointing heavenward should pons to hell.
 Rey. Cason of the Lakeside church and Rev. Crutcher of Christian church, also made very forcible talks on this subject, and it seems now to be general theme for discussion and dennnciation.

HALL CLOCK
PRESENTED To HOSPITAL AR
RIVES.
Is a Magnificent Timepiece, Eight
Feet Tall

The hall clock which Miss Helen Gould
presented to the Wichita hospital through
Colonel BIeckley of the Missouri Pacific
arrived yesterday and Mr.. BleckIey had it
taken to Wallis to be set up and set to
going.
1t is certainly a magnificent piece. 1t
is an old English han clock modernized.
The case is of antique oak deliberately
carved and stands eight feet high. The
face is of silver with raised gold figure
time works Above the dial the different
phases of the moon are shown at diff
ferent times in the month. At the quar-
ter. half and three-quarters a musical
chime strikes three times At the hour
the chimes ring four times and the hour IS
struck in an entirely different tone. Both
the chime and the strike or either can be
silenced by the turning Of an indicator.
Miss Gould was very modest in making
the present. on the inside Of the door
Just under the dial a gold plate reads:
Wichita Hospital from Helen Miller
Gould October, 1899" The plate cannot
he seen at all when the door is closed.
The only word accompanying the big
time piece was a little note, with good
wishes for the Wichita Hospital Helen
Gould"
The tender heart Of the generous nature
that prompted the gift would be well re-
paid could Miss Could know the sincere
gratitude Of Wichita in general and the
hospital board in particular for this re-
membrane.

WONT BOTHER TRUSTS
Ex-Governor LeweIling Says
No Party viii Do 1t,
he GIVES HIS REASONS
Comments on the Next Pop
uIist State Campaign

Ex-Governor Lewelling, who has been
at work on his farm very closely for the
past three months, still finds time TO keep
an eye on political matters. In view Of
the fact that there is talk Of running
Governor LewelIing for congress, and also
in view Of the fact that officially he is the
father of Populism in Kansas, his views
on political questions viii be read with
interest Speaking Of the recent election,
a representative of the Eagle yesterday
asked Mr.. Lewelling what he thought Of
the future Of Populism.
IF you mean the next national con-
vention, I see possibility Of trouble. If
Bryan shall be the Democratic nominee
the Populists who voted for him before
would support him with enthusiasm and
unanimity, but there may be a clash as to
the man for the second place. Then again,
some leading Democrats. among them Ex-
Governor Stone Of the national Democrat
ic committee, are quoted IS saying there
will be no fusion and no concessions TO
Populists as such. but that we must get
with the Democratic band wagon and vote
the Democratic ticket without conditions.
I don't know TO what extent such senti-
ments prevail among Democratic leaders.
But it IS possible the Populists may fin
ally prefer to vote a third ticket, and in
such an event there would be little doubt
OF Republican success"

chief planks in the PopuIist PLATFORM"

"But the Republicans will have an anti

but the Republicans having been in pow
er must explain why nothing has been
lone to protect the people from the "a
pacity of the trusts"
DO You believe the trusts can be con-
troIled by legislation"
Probably not. We can destroy them by
taxation, but 1t is not the trust itself that
is harmful, but the abuse of the power
derived from organization. To be frank,
it is my opinion that no political party
acting under our present form Of govern
ment will ever be able to cope with the
trusts. Relief may come through a
change in the methods Of trade, but can
conceive Of nothing except some form Of
cooperation between producers and con-
sumers, which means some sort Of So
cialism, though it win be called by some
other name, as certain other forms of So
cialism, life insurance

A VAST ESTATE.
st. Marys Man Claims an Interest in
Forty Million Dollars Worth of
Property in Australia.
Special to the Register.

| Special to the Register.
| ST. MARYS, w. Va, October IL
Last December James Tyson, the Aus
tralian multi-millionaire, died. The
| following was sent to a New York
paper from London:
| James Tyson, the Australian mill
ionaire, who died recently, left no will,
and no heirs have yet been found. His
only relative in Australia was brother,
who died He came from Cumberland
county, England, and now everybody
up there is endeavoring to prove re-
! lationship. The fortune is stated to be
about $40,000,000, even after the Aus
tralian colonies get a substantial rake
off in the form of inheritance taxes"
| Hon. Oliver Gorrell, of this county,
noticed the special in the New York
paper, and remembering his grand
mothers maiden name was Tyson, set
to work upon the genealogy of his
family. He has successfully traced his
lineage to point where he is almost
sure that he can prove blood relation
ship to the deceased millionaire
By connecting dates it is proven that
| the Tysons away back about 100 had
Eproud possessions in northern England.
In one of their wars Lord Tyson was
slain in battle, and his two sons fed to
the Netherlands. Later their de-
scendants immigrated to America and
settled on the Penn grant. They null
tiphed rapidly and soon became a large
family. Some went to Baltimore, and
to-day some of the richest families OF
that city are Tysons, and descendants
of Tyson. Grandmother Gorrell was
originally a native of Baltimore. Mr..
Gorrell and others interested have pro-
cured the services of one OF the best
lawyers of Baltimore, and with what
evidence he has obtained and that
gathered by others he is sure of land
ing the unwilled millions.
Mr.. Gorrell returned from Baltimore
Saturday evening, where he had con-
ference with the attorney, and In con-
versation with your correspondent yes
terday, said that his lawyer is very en-
thusiastic over the amount accomplish
ed. He claims to have all necessary
proof to establish the claims Of his
clients.
The fact that he has taken the case
on a contingent fee makes it look as
though he was pretty positive. He
leaves for Australia in a few days.
Letters have been sent to Sisters
Vile bank from an Australian banker
end will give the reader some idea OF
the yastness of the estate. The letter
in part says: "Mr. Tyson left on de-
post in this bank and five others
999 900 pounds sterling-equal to nearly
S., 900, 900; $4,000 sheep; 100000 cattle,
1000 horses, and other assets. such as
mortgages etc"
In talking of the probabilities, Mr..
Gorrell said: 81 only hope our lawyer
is right

NO WORK DONE
Towards Building the New Armored
Cruiser West Virginia.. Armor
Plate Question in the Way.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., Octobr 17.-No
work whatever has been done at the
Navy Department on the preliminary
plans for the armored cruiser West
Virginia, which was one of three au-
thoriZed to be built by the last Con-
gress. Admiral Hichborn, chief con-
structor of the navy, says that probably
nothing will be done in that direction
for six months to come. The delay Is
due TO the high cost of armor, and the
impossibility Of getting it at the price
of $500 ton fixed by Congress. Until
the armor plate question is settled it
will be impossible to even make the
plans for the West Virginia and her
sister ships. The West Virginia is to
be vessel of about $4,000 tons dis
placement, carrying the most powerful
ordnance and the heaviest armor pos
sible for vessels of the class, to be
sheathed and coppered, to have the
highest practicable speed and great
radius of action, and will cost, exclusive
of armor and armament, not over
100000.
