OLD CASE SETTLED
Coleman & Lynch, One Time
Shoe Merchants
GET BIG JUDGMENT
In a Case That Has Been
Fought for Ten Years.
BIG JUDGMENT

After ten years of litigation and
stomping back and forth between the
district court Of Sedgwick county, the
Kansas supreme court and federal courts
the odd suit of Coleman & Lynch Of
Wichita against Tootle, Hosea & Co.,
shoe manufacturers Of ST. Joe. was set
tied in the circuit court here yesterday
in favor Of the plaintiffs, Coleman &
Lynch for $3.50 and costs.
This suit grew out of an attachment on
the stock of boots and shoes owned by
Coleman & Lynch on North Main street
run by United States marshals in 1890
for the firm OF Tootle Hosea & Co., for
a personal debt of Tootle and Lynch.
The Wichita firm claimed false attach
rnent and brought suit for damage in the
district court Judgment was rendered
for s., 800 and costs. The St Joe firm ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court and
the matter was remanded for another
trial. In December, 1885, af er. being in
the supreme court for several years, the
case was retired here and Judgment was
again rendered in favor Of Coleman &
Lynch for 81 1900, which included the orig
inal 1880 and s1o00 interest. The case
was again appealed by ToOtle Hosea &
Co.. and the judgment of the district
court was confirmed. Yesterday the case
came up for final hearing in the federal
court and Coleman 6, Lynch were given
judgment for $3.50 and costs. The Cole
man & Lynch shoe store was at one time
one Of the big business concerns of
Wichita, but the boom caught the pro
prietors as It did many others, and the
house dissolved. The suit for damages
was against L. s. Marshal Walker, but
the plaintiffs being unable to collect
from him sought to have it extended to
Tootle, Hosea & Co, which is now TOotle,

WALDEN WAS DISGUISED
Thinks the Paris Ere Company is
Very Poor

Fire Chief Walden was reading an ar
ticle on the fire II the Coincide Francois
at Paris, when he suddenly threw the
paper down with a snort OF disgust Just
look here" he said. The fire companies
did not arrive until twenty minutes after
the alarm was turned IN and did not get
a stream working on the blaze until thIr-
" minutes had elapsed. L an American
fire company would not set to a fire
three times quicker than that and get a
stream working in less than a quarter Of
the time, q roar would so up which
would jar the earth. For Acknowledgement
the Paris fire department evidently is the
most startling example IN the world"

TO ROB STATE TREASURER.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 20.-A futile at.
tempt was made to rob the state treas-
ury early this morning. Nisht Watch
man f. N. Goode said he discovered three
men in the treasurer's office at the state
capital at O'Clock. Two shots, he said.
We're fired at him by the robbers, one of
them passing through the lapel of his
coat. He fired twice in return apparent
~ without effect, and the robbers fled,
Ihe Watchman turned in a general
alarm from the state capital and almost
the entire force hastene1 to the building.
The only evidence of the attempted rob-
berry was the bullet holes in the corridor
walls State Treasurer Mezerva was sum-
moned and found his office in state
of disorder, but the steel vault uninjur-
ed, and nothing of value missing so far
as he could tell.

Hon. H. l.. Frank returned to R,itte

is bituminous coal and is the finest quail
lty l have ever seen in the west. It is
superior to the Lethridge thought of a
different character and in fact, as I said,
is better than any coal l have seen in
the west.
The property is about so miles west
OF Lethrldge, just on the eastern slope
of the Rockies and but short distance
from Crows Nest. The Crows Nest pass
branch of the Canadian Pacific railroad
running from Lethridge to Nelson, runs
right past the property.
I'VE have a tunnel in fifty feet and all
the way it is in as fine coal as you ever
saw. The vein is twenty feet wide and
the coal is as hard and clean as ever
came from thoroughly developed mine.
1t is a fine coking coal as can be found
anywhere.
Il have already started operations and
have ten men at work. They are going
in on the vein and will develop it as
rapidly as possible. Just as soon as l
can get the material on the ground and
the weather will permit, / shall begin
the erection Of big plant for operating
the mine and l shall also put in cox
ing plant. S. w. Gebo for whom the
town of GebO, this state, was named, is
on the ground experimenting the work
for me-"
Mr.. Frank states that he found the
country he visited in a flourishing con-
dition. The Fernie company said he,
is operating a coke plant Of 300 ovens
about 60 miles from my property. They
are shipping all their surplus supply of
coke to this side of the line and it is
being consumed by the smelters.
This is giving the narrow gauge rail-
road which comes across from Lethridge
to Great Falls. so much business that
they cannot handle it all with their pres
ent facilities and I was assured that the
Gait people will widen the gauge in the
spring. Altogether 1 am greatly pleased
with the new venture and believe it will
turn out to be a big thing"

tor for two generations the pro-
tive tariff has been the hitching-post
Uf our prejudice, and on this subject
reason knocks in vain at the doors of
our understanding.
The day of free trade in the South
is past it went out with the old sys-
tenn of labor, and old-time preiudices
must soc follow. Thousands of
young men born since the civil war
will vote in the coming election. Let
it be hoped that they will not walk
blindly in the leading strings of the
politicians, and that they will not
yield readily to the articles of the
demagogues. 1t is a painful truth
that positions of public trust are too
often but dividends declared upon
the capitalized prejudice and igno-
rance of our people the politicians
being both stockholders and direct
ors, are naturally interested in the
perpetuatiOn of their investment but
intolerance of free thought and free
speech in politics is yielding in a de-
gree to the lessons of experience and
common sense. Factory, furnace,
and mill are sounding the glad notes
of the new gossip in the South pros
perity is a converting power dollars
are eloquent orators and appeal to
prejudice as nothing else can. Every
mill is a missionary, every furnace a
pillar of fire by night; many and
many a Rip Van Wrinkle is arousing
from his long, long sleep.
Oh, hasten the day when the men
who lost in 1865 shall with their chill
dren and grandchildren become par
Elephants in the glorious prosperity
that now lies just in sight awaiting
the triumphal march of the indus
trial South hand in hand with the
industrial North.

THE ALLIANCE IN Pennsylvania.
W Washington, D. G.

The Farmers Alliance in Pennsyl-
vania is in it's eleventh year of ex-
istence. 1t has brought new life and
inspiration to the members on the
farm by equally sharing all benefits
and advantages of membership with
the daughters, wives and mothers,
bringing the social enjOyments
through it's doors to our homes. Sub
ordinate, County, State and Supreme
Councils welcome those who are
strangers, thus opening the available
avenues of a higher source of enjoy
ment than can be otherwise reached
in isolated homes. -
The Alliance has a trade directory,
with special price contracts, where
members may purchase home sup
plies, from the minUtest want of the
house to the great binder of the har-
vest. The Alliance has a mutual
fire insurance company, available to
all it's members, that has passed the
experiment stage, giving protection
at less than One-third the cost of old
lire companies. The unity of action
is shown by the fact that the COM
pany has had no litigation for over
three years. 1t is in it's fifth year of
insurance, and has over $500, 900 in
risks, with an annual increase of
over 800, 900 each year in the past
three years. .
/. There r over 100 working local
lodges with a large membership. In
public receptions, it's members aim
to educate the people up to a higher
standard Of no~n-partisan economic
government, making home and life
more attractive, which is ever ex-
emplified in the State Councils
