OPERA HOUSE TALK.
The EIks Hold Meeting and Discuss
PROPOSITIONS.

The opera house proposition, under
consideration by the Elks and which
were discussed by the meeting Satur-
day night, remains yet undecided.
The lodge members had under dis
cussion several sites, but none were
accepted.
majority of the members, how
ever, expressed themselves favorable
to the lowland sites in preference to
the Highland site or the railway prop
osition.
The old building committee of the
lodge, realizing that they could not ar
rive at a conclusion, asked to be dis
charged, which was granted, and new
committee appointed who have taken
up the matter and were given two
weeks time in which to consider and
report at a special meeting to be held
Saturday night, February 22.
The special meeting last Saturday
night proved quite animated, and dem
onstrated the fact that tie Elks' lodge
has some good debaters n its ranks.

THEY WANT A RIGHT OF WAY.

Pursuant to call the Bland board of

After the election proposition sub
mitted by the Navajo company was
read by the secretary. wherein said
company asks the property owners in
Bland for a free right of way through
the town of Bland for fumes, bitches,
tramways, etc. The proposition seem.
ed to be fair and square in every sense
and coming from a company that has
at all times showed Willingness to do
the right thing by Bland, 1t soon be-
came evident that our citizens looked
upor the proposition with favor and
not one dissenting voice was heard.
The company even goes so far as to
give our citizens the free right to use

Two Hundred To Be Released BY a
Court Decision.

st. Louis, Feb. 0.-Established prec-
edents of the United States army were
overthrown and the freedom of nearly
200 men now confined in federal peni-
tentiaries was assured by the decision
rendered by the United States circuit
court of appeals today, in the case of
Peter c. Deming, former captain of
United States volunteers. against
Robert M. McClaughey, warden OF the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Deming was imprisoned on
the sentence of a court martial COM
posed of nine regular officers, conven-
ed by General Shafter. The opinion
of the circuit court, written by San
borne, (judge) lis that the court mar
tial which sent Deming, acted in viola
tion of article II of the articles of war,
which provides that officers of the reg
ular army shall not be compelled to
serve on courts martial for trial of Off
GERS and soldiers of other forces. Dem
ing was captain of the subsistence de-
Dartment of the volunteer army. The
charge against him related to his ac-
counts.

STILL WRANGLING.
The Trouble Among Colored Church
People Will Not Down.
A JOINT LETTER.

Editors Citizen:
Please allow us space in your valua-
BILE paper for the purpose of replying
to John Gaskin's letter that appeared
in the Journal-Democrat on the morn
ing OF the 7th inst, concerning the re-
cent mOrtgaging of the A. M. r. church.
For the benefit of those who wish to
he properly informed as to the true
cause of the present condition, we take
pleasure III referring them to any
member of the church who is a prop
erty holder and tax payer of the city,
and not to John Gaskin, who is neither
real estate holder and has hardly
been in the territory long enough to
become a citizen. The property hold
ers of this community will not suffer
themselves to be dictated to by any
such characters. The present board of
trustees was maliciously elected for
the sole purpose of taking advantage
Of the peoples rights, as can be readily
seen. A meeting was held at an un-
usual hour for the purpose of electing
officers of the church. Only seven peo-
pie in the house, out of $50 church
going people. who had right to be
present. The said seven who were
present were all elected to office. How
does this look to one who wants to see
justice done as true follower of
Christ Shame on such disgraceful
action in preparing to take malicious
advantage of the peoples property.
Contrary to the discipline which gov
erns the property of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church, the lay men,
bers were not given chance to voice
their sentiments, whether they wanted
the parsonage repaired or not. How
ever, the petition which requested the
present loan by permission of the court
specified that the said loan, which was
$780, was for repairing the church par
sonage and not to give $3.50 to Rev.
Barksdale to bring his family here
from Evansville, Ind. Church property
is not to be used as private property.
Mr.. Martin had right to serve an
injunction on w. III. Joyce to prevent
the expenditure. of the 5000 when he
learned that it was not to be used for
the benefit of the church property, and
especially when he stood good for a
$50 lumber bill that was to be paid out
of the said 5000.
Other ministers have gotten their
money out of the members of the
African Methodist Episcopal church of
this city legitimately. A general that
can't manage an army successfully
should he willing to let another gen,
eral take charge. The question may
be often asked why didn't the mem
bers come out and support the min.
lister. We ask the minister to explain
what he has done to drive his congre.
CATION away from him? The people
ask for justice and not for sympathy,
