CAMPBELL AND SIMPSON.
TWO Wichita Men Have Controversy
at Kansas City.

Colonel 3. II. Campbell Of this city
while in Kansas City Wednesday ad-
dressed a communication to the Jour
nal, in which he says:
About two weeks ago I was sitting
at a lunch table at the Transit house
in Kansas City in company with ex-Con-
gresham jeremiah Simpson and Mason
S. Peters, and I was speaking of the
national calamity which made every pa
triot mourner at that time. 1 remarked
that I hoped congress would enact dur
ing the coming winter a law which would
so define treason as to make inhamma-
tory declarations. calculated to excite the
ignorant and thoughtless to Instruction
airy acts, actionable at law and punish
able by Imprisonment.
Mr.. Simpson replied without any hest
tation, and seemingly in good faith, that
he quite agreed with me. but that he
would enact a law defining as treason
any opposition to the Republican party
punishable with death.
/ met Mr.. Simpson again this evening,
and pressed a hope that he did not mean
to deride the sentiment I expressed on
the occasion Of the meeting. and added
that ] had not published what he sad,
as I could not believe that he felt as he
had spoken. He fared up in a great
rage and said that he meant what he had
said: that the kind Of stuff I talked would
rob the people of their liberties. and If
I wanted to publish his sentiments 1 was
at liberty to do So

DANIELS WOULD KILL THEM.
Wichita Man Says Oklahoma Can Get
Clear Of Prairie DOES.

T. T. Daniels, overseer of poor in this
county, was telling some friends at the
court house yesterday that he had been
reading TO the effect that prairie dogs
are a pest in Oklahoma, and that the ter
ritcriaI government was thinking of pay
ing d bounty for their determination. Mr.
Daniels says these little pests are easily
destroyed.
Several years ago, Mr. Daniels says.
there was a colony Of these prairie dogs
about FIVE miles west of Valley Center
that nearly moRopolized two sections Of
land. He said that Mr.. Ringlang claimed
that he lived in the most pOpulous city in
Kansas, and that he was king of the
colony. His subjects were prairie dogs.
He found that bis subjects were eating up
his farm and he determined to externin-
ate the whole colony of prairie dogs, and
that was what he did.
Daniels says he thinks Ringlang got his
plan of battle from the experiment station
Of Kansas. He introduced some kind Of
a disease among the dogs that absolutely
eXterminated the colony of prairie dogs.
He says he has forgotten what he put in
their holes to give them the contagious
disease. but if people who are tormented
with prairie dogs viii find out what Mr..
Ringlang did. they can set clear Of the
dogs Mr.. Daniels SAYS he knows of his
own knowledge that the prairie dogs dis
appeared.

Mrs. Dodd has several houses in Wich-

This man and his wife went to the Santa

for Colorado. They owed Mrs. Dodd 81.
Mrs. Dodd heard that they were going
away and wanted that s.. She followed
them to the depot and called a police
man. The sympathy Of the officer was
with Mrs. Dodd, but he could take no
action in the matter without some legal
proceedings. She wanted to prevent the
pair from checking their trunks.
The only thing the policeman could do
was to make a bluff. He kept watching
the trunks and they kept watching him.
He was suddenly called away TO settle
another dispute and during his absence
the trunks were checked. They were now
in the custody of the railroad company
and beyond the reach Of a policeman.
1t was Mrs. Dodd's time TO take action.
She told the woman who owed her that
she wanted her 81 and the woman treated
her with scorn. Mrs. Dodd's resources
were not ended. She watched her oppor-
tunity. Pretty soon the woman who owed
her wanted TO fix her hair and she laid
a SIS guitar and a Sc silk parasol on a
truck for a moment. Mrs. Dodd seized
these and held onto them tenaciously.

threats, but the policeman seemed to be

that he did not have to hand over this
