NEW LAW QUESTION.
Must Federal Court Furnish Lawyer
in Civil Cases.

"A small case was fled in the United
States circuit court here Tuesday which
brings up a technical point never raised
before, and which may give rise to
some dispute
]. A. Smith, an attorney at Kansas
City, filed a suit for H. B. Cronkhite
and Malinda w. Cronkhite, of indie
pendence, Mo. against R. r. Rees, J. B.
TomIinson, Morris Sharp and
Sharp, whose Christian name is I'M
known, for the possession of a quarter
section of land in Ottawa county, KAN
sas, and the ejectment Of the defend
ants from the property.
The plaintiffs in the suit both file affi-
davfts that they are too poor to bear
the costs of the case and that there IS
no one besides themselves interested in
the case who is able to bear the ex-
pense of the same. They ask that the
court appoint an attorney to prosecute
the suit for them
1t is always customary in criminal
cases where the parties interested are
unable to pay a lawyer, for the court
to appoint some one who will receive
pay from the government The situa-
ton seems to be different in civil cases,
such as this.
The question arising is new to the
federal court here, and it's outcome is
awaited with interest.

When the subject was up. before the
state house building commissioners had
a beautiful design submitted by
Charles H Neihaus Mr.. Neihaus was
not the national figure then that he is
now. Mr.. Neihaus' latest claim to fame
is as the designer of the Dewey arch
1t was twelve years ago, in Septem-
Der, 1889, when the building commits
sioners solicited designs and bids for
the statue and sculpturing at the cap
itol.
Mr.. Neihaus sent with his model an
explanation of it, in which he says of
the figure of Ceres:
1.-The design for the statue which is
to surmount the dome of the capitol
represents Ceres searching for her
daughter. with a torch held aloft in
one hand and sheaf of wheat clasped
in the other Her head is circled with
a wreath of grain She rests on a
globe festooned with flowers. Carvings
appropriate to the allegorical story OF
Ceres-heads of swine or horses. etc
may also be placed about the globe
Since the globe is not specified by the
instructions given to artists, this, a dis
functional feature, is offered solely
on the artists responsibility
This sketch shows animated fig
ure, which was thought by the artist
to be more appropriate than one in re-
pose, because activity rather than mere
dignity is suggested by the subject
For the same reason he has striven for
a decorative effect 1t is also, the
artist thinks, worthy of consideration
that a statue placed at so considerable
a height as $50 feet will, if quiet and
sedate in repose, have the effect of a
solnbre, solid and rather frowning
mass, and this effect $50 Inappropriate
to the conception of Ceres) is to be
avoided only by giving a spirited and
decorative aspect to the pose
The design offered by Mr.. Neihaus
would be beauty to adopt now State
Architect John Stanton's design is
liable to have the effect of a sombre,
solid and rather frowning mass" along
side of this light. airy and vivacious
Neihaus nymph- Neihaus' design is
catchy. and perhaps the state officers

Chicago, Oct. 16.-At the annual meet
ing of stockholders of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, which was held here to-
day, the following directors were elect
ed to succeed themselves: B F. Aver,
Walter Luttgen. John w. Auchincloss'
and J. T. Harahan. An increase in the
capital stock from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, :
900 was authorized. The additional
capital will be used in physical better
ments, including the double tracking
work now in progress between Chicago
and New Orleans, purchasing new To-
comotives and cars, and in purchasing
three small proprietary roads These
roads are the Peoria, Decatur & Mat
toon, the Nation & Evansville, and the

Judge Vonsonhaler, of the county
