THEY COME
DTSPATCHER'S OFFICE RE-
MOVED FROM CONWAY SPRINGS.
Are Now Established ut the Twelfth
Street Depot Onices.

The much reported removal Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific dispatchers' Office from Con-
way Springs to Wichita yesterday cul-
minated in a decided reality. The change
is now being made, part of the force hav-
ing come up yesterday. The remainder
will follow today. The offices will be
maintained at the Twelfth street depot
until the new building is completed. New
tables have been put in at the Twelfth
street Office and additional wires strung.
The Western Union Telegraph company
office, through which all the lines run,
has added additional batteries.
The change is not only advantageous to
the company but will prove beneficial to
the town, as it brings nine additional
people here, some Of whom have families.
The working force comprises five regular
train dispatchers and three operators. and
is divided into three shifts of eight hours
each. Mr.. Charles Nedro is the chief
dispatcher. He will arrive in the city to-
morrow with his family The Twelfth
street Offices have recfntly been equipped
with the necessary appliances and to-
morrow the dispatchers will be comfort
ably situated. All the connections have
been made and everything is in readiness.
There has been talk Of removing these
offices here for scme months, but the re-
port could never be confirmed by the
officials. The reason for the change is
that Wichita is more centrally located on
the Missouri Paci1s system in this part
Of the country. Another reason is that
better and more facilitated quarters are
10 be afforded in the new building When
completed the company will do away with
the Twelfth street Office and move the
building to the yards and use it for a
freight depot. There are to be two
freight depots, one TO receive the freight
and one 10 ship. This will require two
house tracks and the company will pro
vide for both.

.OORAN CASE REVIVED
Commissioners Ask {. Werner
to Make Settlement.
STOCK IS ATTACHED
Warner Is Surety on Ex-
Treasurer Doran's Bond.

Attachment papers were issued from the
district court yesterday against the prop
erty Of Emil Werner, the Douglas avenue
hardware merchant, who was one Of the
sureties on the bond OF the late John
Doran at the time he was the county
treasurer.
The proceedings are the result Of what
IS known as the Doran shortage and in
recent suits the bond holders were made
liable for about 1000. 1t Is said that
some of the signers Of the bond have
compromised with the county commits
sioners on the amount of their share OF
the entire claim but that Werner had
never agreed to a settlement of his part
Of the amount.
The papers were made out from the
/ district clerks office for the full amount
Of the claim against the sureties of the
bond owing to the fact that there was
no records in that Office that the matter
| has ever been settled or even any COM
promises made.
| The stock Of goods belonging to Wer-
ner, on East Douglas avenue, was taken
possession of yesterday afternoon by
| Sheriff Simmons and some settlement, as
to their disposal is expected to be reach
ed within a short time.
Emil Werner owns considerable prop
erty in the city and whether any other
but the hardware store had been attached
could not be learned last night.
The Doran shortage, as 1t Is Familiarity
called, is known to all fthe residents
Of the county owing to the wide publicity
while the case against the sureties on
the bond was in the courts When the
shortage was first announced it was said
to be a very large amount, but after an
expert had gone over the books used dur
ing Doran's term Of Office, it was found
that the shortage was much smaller than
when the first announcement was made.
In the suit which was tried in the dis
trict court, the county commissioners Sc
cured a judgment against the sureties
on the bond, but in some of the cases
there seems to have been no determined
effort to get the matter settled up, until
recently.
There seems to be some question as to
tne amount for which Werner is liable as
a surety on the bond and as the attach
ment papers were made out for the en-
tire amount, 81 900, IT IS wondered if his
property is to satisfy the claim.
The attorneys are working on the case
and compromise may be reached in re-
gard to the matter.

The new lights are smaller than the old

continuously for ninety hours without

improved pattern made at this time The
lights do not make any shadows and
the reflector Is at the top of the lamp

sion OF the court on the claims OF Rear
Admiral Sampson and his men to boun-
ty for the destruction OF Cervera's

The Spanish squadron is found to
have been inferior to the American
force, and a bounty OF $Ioo has there
fore been awarded for every officer and
man under Admiral Cervera's command,
The total amount of bounty allowed is
$I66,7oo. OF which Rear Admiral Samp-
son will receive $S,335 and Rear Ad-
