DAMAGE TO TREES.
Corporations Destroy Property-Citi-
zens Helpless.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 wish to enter my protest in behalf
of the citizens of Topeka in regard TO
the scandalous manner in which tele-
phone and electric light companies
damage property in the erection of their
poles and wires in this city Every
man who owns a home loves good
shade tree. and the more graceful ana
beautiful its growth the more pleasure
he receives every time he casts his eyes
among it's branches. Topeka by the en-
terprise and good taste of its citizens
has several beautiful avenues of elms
and other trees. The corporations men
toned employ workmen to erect their
poles and wires that simply see their
own work, and anything that interferes
with their perfect construction, grace

absence at his business, or not thought
that the tree belongs to any one ex-
cept the corporation they are working
for, or that it is an ornament to the
city as well as a comfort in the sum-
mer heat to its owner-crop the limb

taking the grace and beauty from the
tree, making 1t a one-sided, stumpy
affair.
If the owner appears on the scene
after the limb is dislocated, heart
broken at the desecration, they tell him
it is none of his business, that they
have the right of way. and there is
nothing for him to do but gnash his
teeth and mourn for the pet of his many
years care
The city council takes a bond, 1 I'M

MRS. DIGGS INDIGNANT.
Trouble in the Farmers Advocate
Over a Resubmission Editorial


Trouble seems to have been brooding
over the Farmers Advocate Office. If
it isn't harrassed by a foreign foe,.it is
torn by domestic difficulties. No sooner
had the paper been readmitted to the
mails as second class matter, than a
fresh difficulty breaks out.
This time it is caused by the action
of H. N. Gaines, the publisher, in pub
fishing an unsigned editorial in this
weeks issue of the Advocate, criticising
prohibition and virtually committing
the paper to resubmission. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Mrs. Annie L. Diggs
known that she is a pronounced prohi-
bitionist. The editorial in question was
inserted without her knowledge and she
is very indignant over 1t. Unless an
apology is inserted in the next issue
she will resign from the staff.
It have a verbal understa nding that
I am to control the editorial policy of the
paper" said Mrs. Diggs, but it seems a
verbal agreement is not enough. 1 must
Gaines to come I'D to the state house
to see me and he promised to do so yes
terday. but 1 have not yet seen him.
Nothing definite will be done until the
board of directors meet next week and
then we will have an underst nding."
The board of directors is made up of
H N. Gaines and his brother, Grant
Gaines; s. b. Gebhart, Mrs. Diggs and
Miss McLallin. The latter will side with
Mrs. Diggs, so that the decision of the
futtNe policy of the paper lies with Mr..
Gebhart.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Gaines is pre-
pairing to get in line with the Democrats
in case the Populists decide to go into
the Democratic party.

KILLED HIS EMPLOYER.
Hack Driver Shoots Liveryman
in Quarrel Over 81.

Chicago, Feb. &c. Q. Harz, a wealthy
Hveryman, was shot and instantly kill
ed by Edward Coughlin, one of his driv-
ers in the barn at 500-2 Dearborn ave-
nue. today. Mr.. Harz is said to have
been the largest cab owner in Chicago.
Coughlin escaped, but Inspector Heidel-
meier put every available policeman at
work on the case and declared that he
was confident of capturing the fugitive
soon. The driver, it is alleged, was
sent out on telephone order last night.
Later he returned to the barn and said
that his customers, on the pretext of
calling at a house, had escaped without
paying their fares. This morning he
again came to the stables and asked Mr..
Harz for money due him. Mr.. Harz de-
clared that Coughlin's story of fares
escaping was too old g. one to catch him
and it is said, told the driver the money
would be taken from the latter's salary.
Angry words followed and Coughlin
drew his revolver. Two other employees
rushed forward to restrain him but
We're not quick enough. The bullet hit
the Hveryman square in the forehead
and death was instantaneous.
The amount of money involved was
only 81. Harris estate is said to be
worth 100000
Coughlin was arrested at IL o'clock
and admitted shooting Harz.

United States circuit court against the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York, of which company he was for
merly state agent in Kansas, for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000.
The damages are asked on the
grounds that the insurance company
violated certain contracts with Mr..
Lord, that would, had they remained in
force, resulted in a profit to Mr.. Lord,
equivalent to the amount asked for in
the bill of complaint.
The bill filed by D. r. Hite, for Mr..
Lord alleges that after the time when
the Mutual Life Insurance company
was restricted by the state insurance
department from doing business in this
state, the defendant company began an
effort to secure the recession of the con-
tracts between Mr.. Lord, as state agent
of the~company and the defendant COM
pany and that failing to secure the con-
cessions asked, the insurance company
violated the terms of the contracts ex-
listing between the two parties.
