A Peculiar Suit.
Cleburne, Texas, has peculiar law
suit in the courts over 16 cents worth
of land. It is the suit of G.. Mcdaniel
vs. A. E Jones ct al. 1t Is question
of boundaries and valuing the land at
$50 per acre the territory in question
would be worth 16 cents. The case has
been up for three or four years now
and the costs amount to $500.
Quarantine Lines.
Peoos comfy has been having
trouble over her quarantine lines. The
federal line is the north line OF the
county but because this threw Gil OF
the county below the line and as the
north part of it was entirely clean, the
state made the river the state quaran-
tine line. Owing to the annoyance
and Inconvenience of having the two
lines, Pecos county has accepted the
fed eral line, the northern boundary OF
the county as state quarantine line
also.
To Stamp Out Smallpox.
At the meeting of the Texas assOciA-
tion of county judges and county COM
missioners q CON mittee was appointed
to attend the state democratic conven-
ton, to request that the platform de-
maud that the state take steps to stamp
out the smallpox, and that all smallpox
expense be paid by the state instead OF
by the counties, as is now the case.
The association also recommended that
the system of main tanning paupers by
paying them monthly stipends at their
homes be stopped, and that each coun-
ty acquire q permanent pauper home,
and that all INDECENT persons be re-
quired to stay at the home or dis
pense with public help altogether.

BASEBALL PLAYER Of this city, who In one
brief season az . member Of the profess
sionai ranks established q most brilliant
reputation, has besn signed By the man
sgsment OF the New York club OF the big
league and will be enrolled with the
famed Gotbamites the coming season.
This announcement will cause some sur
prise among the followers Of the national
game in this city as 1t has been believed
that the poru rular player would remain In
Q minor league for another season.
Conroy played such magnioent ball last
summer that long before the season had
ended entsrprising managers lost no time
In attempts TO engage him for this season.
He tisldsd his position at first base In
capable styis but II was his great prowess
az o batsman that attracted the attention
of managers throushc ut the country. He
showed himself to be natural hitter and
with comparative ease won and held q
place In the coveted class OF 800. In fact
he was we'll above that mark during the
entire season.
During the last weeks Of the season
Manager William Ewing Of the Cincin-
natl club, who had heard the good re-
ports Of Conroy, offered the Portland boy
trial with the Cinoinnssis to finish the
season after the regular campaign Of the
New england league had been concluded.
The offer was tempting one but Conroy
decided to decline. Then after the close
Of the season In the big league Manager
Ewing, who has been secured as the
leader OF the New York team for this
year, successfully opened negotiations
with Conroy TO become mem ber OF ths
Gothamits crew OF ball tossers. Conroy
carefully considered the subject and the
result was that he signed the contract
which had been forwardsd TO him. The
contract calls for an sxosllent salary. A
few days ago the contract was returned 70

umspt will now b formally promulgated
within few days.

A SMART CLERK.
Makes Important Discovery at New
York Custom House.

New York, February 3.-An accident tai
Custom house has brought to light .
ssries Of alleged fraudulent acts covering
q period of about six years and invol-
wing many thousands of dollars. The
alleged perpetrator Of these frauds for
the greater part,.of. the time was Charles
L. Leuch. then an importer Of laoes In
Manhattan. who retired from the import
ing business in 1897 and 10 uow said to
be thel owner Of a lace mill In Brooklyn,
with Q salesroom In Manhattan.
The local customs officials say that
Leuch was the agent here OF J. b. Fon.
taille, q Inanufaoturer Of laces at lie Puy,
France. Leuch's business with Fontaille
Is said to have been very extensive and
TO ell appearances his invoices were al
taille continued to export his laoes to
this city. All of his invoices were oon-
signed to X. W. Downing and Co., ous-
toms brokers. Downing and Co.. dsliv-
cred the goods. duties paid, at 90 much
per yard or piece, to e. O. Garter, who
seemed 10 have succeeded Leuoh as an
importer. By the merest chance few
days ago, a cleark in the liquidation
division Of the Custom house found er-
roIs in the extensions and additions of
one of the latest invoices. Investigation
disclosed that almost very invoice entered
for Leuoh and his successor duringithe
past i've or six years, was false and frau
dulent in that the extensions and addi-
tions were all in favor of the oonsigner.
When these facts became known suit
was started by Collector Bidweli against
Lsuoh for 5000. that being the difference
between the amount OF duties paid by
Leuoh aud the amount he ought TO have
paid during the last three years Of his
business as an importer.
The statute Of Limitations prevents ths
government from suing for duties prior
to that time. The collector has. however,
requested the United States Attorney,
Burnett. to bring criminal proceedings
against Leuoh, and while 1t 10 admitted
that no evidence exists against Carter his
ffAira may be Investigated. Downing
and Co., as the ostensible consignses ol

Politics are serious in Kansas
The Goodland News says: a 20
puliSt came in to see us the other
day with a look of trouble on his
brow. He said he had read in his
paper that the Republican party
realized that the coming election
would be their last victory at the
polls and rather than see the pO-
pulists in power they were gong
to destroy the world. We ask
how? He SAID that his paper
stated that the Pacific ocean was
several hundred feet lower than
the Atlantic ocean, and the Re
publicans intended todig the canal,
and when they got 1t done the
water would run into the Pacific
and get out of balance, and the
world would go to kermash. We
told him, as the PopuliStS had
found out the scheme, we expected
the Republicans would give it up.
He said he hoped so, but he was
going to have the country central
committee meet, anyhow, and talk
the matter over"

One of our exchange gives the
following advice to its readers.
If you waht to build up Your
town, talk it up. Maintain at all

chants in the country. Brag about
the law abiding qualities of the
folks who constitute your com
munity, and if a fight occasioAly
occurs forbid you paper to flash it
to light with sensa lonal headlines,
but instead let them say that it
was simply a misunderstanding
between two friends. Don't wash
your soiled linen in full view OF
the world, and better still, don't
have any any such linen to wash
This is the secret of building VI
