The Holly chieftain., 1900-07-20

Sugar City. the new town in Otero
county, is already divided into fac
tions, the faction that did not get the
ofices proposing to attack the validi-
ty Of the proceedings by which the
town was ,ncqr porated.
Hot winds last week did great dam
age to the corn crop in central and
western Kansas. According to re-
ports the crop was cut down one-half,
but 1t Is believed now that the rain Of
Sunday night which was quite gener-
al over that portion of the state af-
fected bv the drouth will greatly re-
Wye the crop.
!. H. M. Anderson, general foreman
for the Postal Telegraph company,
was here Sunday and Monday making
plans for improving the lines and Of
flee equipment. The officials Of this
company are well pleased with the
business done in Holly and it is their
intention to give their patrons every
facility possible for prompt service.
1t appears to be settled that Syra-
cuse is to be made division point for
the Santa Fe. The citizens of that
town have signed an agreement to
furnish grounds on which to build the
round house and other improvements,
the surveyors are at work and the con-
structi0n Of the buildings and side
tracks will be started in a short time.
Brigadier Streeton, accompanied by
Mr.. Pargeiter, spent Monday at Rocky
Ford, looking over the crops In that vi
cinitv and also noting progress of the
beet sugar factory. Mr.. Strecton says
all crops are very fine up there, but he
found nothing farther advanced OF
promising greater yield thar the
crops here on the colony. He says
work on the factory is progressing
very rapidly and there Is every indi-
cation that it will be completed In
ample time to work up the beets.
The census taker for this portion of
Prowers county failed to enumerate
the people Of Holly and the Salvation
Army colony at Amity, and we have
been unable to ascertain the cause of
such failure. BY leaving these places
out the census report from this coun-
ty will show at least 500 people less
than 1t actually contains. There is
much Indignation over the matter,
and 1t has been reported to the chief
Of this division, who. we hope, will
see that the mistake is speedily recti-
fed.

Suit of Durkee Heirs For Pacific
r. r. Bonds

Washington, July 19.-The claim of the
heirs of Charles Durkee, formerly gov
ernor of Utah, against the United states
for certain bonds of the Central Pacif-
ic Railroad company, valued at 1884,
623, SIP, was dismissed today by Judge
Hagner, of the district supreme court
and the application for rule against
Secretary of the Treasury Gage to COM
pei the delivery of them to claimants
was denied. Judge Hagner said this
an important one of which was that
Leonard Blaisdell, complainant, an at
torney in fact, as attorney at law in the
case was not the proper person to bring
suit. He intimated that the suit should
have been brought by the administra-
tors. He said 1t was strange that such
a great property should have been so
carelessly handled that all trace of it
should have been lost. He held that the
act creating the Pacific railroad sinking

should be acted upon and first settled
and that a discretionary act can not be
controlled by mandamus.
Judge Hagner. in fixing the hearing of
the case for today. had declined to is
sue rule against Secretary Gage to
show cause why he should not deliver
the bonds to the claimants. The petit
ton as read to the court today says the
disputed bonds were acquired by Chas
Durkee, who died in 1870. that the bonds
were selling very low then and that
they are now in the treasury vaults or
at least were seen there by one of the
Durkee heirs in 1884. The government
IN its defense set out that the petition
did not allege who were the heirs at law
and their respective interests nor did
1T allege that the matter was a purely
ministerial function. The government
commended that the secretary's power in
the premises is purely a discretionary

Asylum superintendent Not in To

Upon authority of a member of the

state officers, the sta cement has been
published to the effect that L. L. Uhls,
superintendent of the Osawatomie asy-
lum, has been attending the meeting of
the state Republican committee, dab
bling in politics and neglecting his Off
cial duties DR.. Uhls in a letter of ex-
PLANTATION says in his own defense:
THE facts are that 1 was not in To-
peka the night the committee met. I
went to Topeka the evening before in
company with the chairman of the
state board of charities. My business
in Topeka was to see the governor on
private business and either the COVER
nor, or the chairman of the board of
charities, will say that my business was
not to mingle with the politicians. I
would not have considered it worth
while to ask for this correction if it
were not for the inference that I was
there contrary to the wishes of the
governor and the state board of
charities"

MAY BE BRISTROW.
Kansas Man Prominently Mentioned
as Heath,s Successor.

Washington. July 1e.-Since the de-
clination by Mr.. Guild of Boston, to ac-
cept the place of first assistant post
master general there has been much
talk that the position will be offered to
J. L. Bristow, fourth assistant postmas-
ter general. His friends are urging his
selection Many think this would be a
fitting recognition of his services in
ferreting out the details of the mis-
management of postal affairs in Cuba.
While the salary would be the same,
the place of first assistant is considered
one of greater honor.
The name of Mr.. George NJ. Allen,
who was secretary to Mr.. Heath, is also
mentioned in connection with the place.
Mr.. Allen is from Indiana, and 1t is
suggested that his selection might sat
isfy Senator Beverage and end the
rivalry between him and Senator Fair
banks over the selection of postmas-
ter for Indianapolis. Mr.. Allen left for
a short visit to Europe shortly after the
Philadelphia convention, but is expect
ed back in about ten days.

MIR. FROST WILL ACCEPT.
Undoubtedly Be President of Kansas
Exposition Company.

Mr.. John E. Frost, formerly land COM
missioner of the Santa Fe, will be the
president of the Kansas Exposition
company, which will handle the big
semi-centennial celebration in 1904. Mr..
Frost said today that If it was the I'M
animous desire of the directors that he
serve, he would accept the office.
At the meeting of directors in this
city a few weeks ago Mr.. F. d. Coburn,
that he would not take the position of
president. At that time the directors
endeavored to give Mr.. Frost the place,
but he declined in the hope that Mr.. Co
burn would reconsider his action. Since
that time, however, Mr.. Coburn has an
nounced finally that it will be impossi-
BILE for him to serve as the executive
head of the exposition, and declared
that Mr.. Frost should be selected.
