formed the alderman from the First ward
that he had seen the articles of incorpora-
tion and that they were those of a rail-
road and not a street railway company.

cover $3.50. The company bought certain
lot in Bayliss' addition at tax sale in De-
cember, 1894, and has since paid the annual
taxes on It. Recently it learned, so it is al

therefore the sale for delinquent taxes was
invalid. The company presented its claim
to the Board of Supervisors, but 1t was dis
allowed and it now brings suit.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS REBEL
Younger Members of the Party Tire
of Fusion and Bryan's
Leadership.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 1S.-(Specal Tele-
gram.)-A call will be issued in few days
for a gathering OF the young democracy o.
Kansas at Topeka to size up the situation
and organize the young men OF the party
for the coming campaign. II is expected
to form an organization with at least 10000
members and the march Of the Ten Thousand
through the campaign in the Sunn0wer state
next year is expected by the projectors OF
the movement to lay Xenophons narrative
in the shade.
One OF the prime movers in the matter
was in Kansas City yesterday.
AT that meeting" he said, 81 am going to
introduce resolution condemning w. j.
Bryan for going back on a democrat. A
word from Mr.. Bryan would have made Mr..
Hitchcock United States senator from Ne
braska to succeed Mr.. Hayward lately de-
ceased. Instead Bryan turned him down
and dictated the appointment OF a populst
That is a sweet pill for democrats to
swallow, isn't it? MIR. Bryan is credited
with having declared that MIR. Allen. who
was turned down by republican legislature,
was the logical candidate MIR. Allen has
never placed the democratic party under OBJ
legations to him and l for one resen; this
gratuitous insult to the democrats, who
stood loyalty by him and who are now pull,
ing off their coats for him next year. How
the rank and file OF the party regards this
sop to the populists l do not know. hut
do not propose to swallow the desc and
believe the young democracy of Kansas at
the Topeka gathering will resent the be-
trayal Of the democratic party.
I'VE hope to make this young peoples
meeting the powerful nucleus of the democ-
racy of the Sunfower state. We have fooled
along too much instead of doing something
and striking cut boldly for ourselves. We
should be on top of our own band wagon in
stead Of following that of somebody else"

self James Williams and claims he is un-
justly Disseminated against, as compared

at Fort Dodge, November s, where w. H.
Wagner shot Alvin Kellogg and his bond
placed at $1,000, and mine for the same
offense at $4,000. Is that doing me justice
The other happened at Sioux Falls, Novem-
ber 8, when Walter Cook shot at Joe Jones
and his bond placed at $500, and mine for
the same kind of charge at $1,000. That is
law, but where is the justice? l have asked
20 have my bonds reduced to the same
amount of others, that is, for the same kind
of charges; but no, they will not. l have
asked to have my case continued to the
next term Of court. Their reply was no.
Then ! asked for a change of venue to an
other county and received the same old re-
ply no"
Gregory writes further that II his bonds
should be, he would be able to furnish them
and would stay here to meet the charges
against him, as he says he has a good
defense. He concludes his letter by saying
he feels sure that If he remains here he
will be convicted, and asks that he be given
justice.
