LAWSON TO A TOPEKA MAN.
Replies to j. P. Ferriter Who Ques-
tions Effect of His Crusade.

A Kansas man figures prominently in
practically all movements or events
which attract national or international
attention.
The latest Kansan to get into the
limelight of publicity is John P. Fer
ritter, a telegrapher in the employ of the
Santa Fe railroad in Topeka.
Mr.. F'erriter has broken into the Law
son story of stF'renzied Finance run
ming in Everybody's Magazine In the
April number just issued. in the de-
partment Lawson and his critics., a
letter from Mr.. Ferriter appears, to-
gether with Mr.. I.awson's remarks
thereon. The letter follows:
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 5, 1895.
Publishers Everybody's Magazine, New
York City.
Dear Sirs:-I have followed Mr.sLaw-
sons article very closely and, as 1 un-
derstand it, ne intimates that he has a
remedy for the rotten condition Of af-
fairs now prevailing. What I, and many
more of your readers, would like to
know is, whether Mr.. Lawson, in offer
ing a remedy, is taking into cOnSidera-
ton the %, 100000 people of the country
who neither invest in stocks nor hold
any amount of insurance, or is his rem
edy meant merely to protect the four
million small capitalists from being
eaten up by what he terms the ''Sys-
toz1.''
1t is very evident to some of US that
If he can not show US how to protect
the great majority of the people who,
although they are not even small capt.
talists, are the ones who are really foot
ing the bills, his remedy will not be the
grand success he anticipates.
J. P. FERRITER.
Commenting on Mr.. Terriers letter.
Mr. lawson SAYS: My remedy will bene-
fit the whole American people. It Will help
most the man who nowadays in Amer
lea deserves most to be helped-the pro
Queer who today is exchanging the efforts
of all his working hours for the pare ne
cessities of himself and family; not those
bare necessities which the white slaves of
Europe are ground down to believe are
their only requirements, but those which
the free and enlightened American belleves
and has taught his family TO beileVe,
should be his necessities
1t is intended to benefit most the man
who has nothing left over after paying
his bills Saturday night but the terrors of
not being able to meet them the coming
remedy if it did not bring relief to this
class
Next my remedy will benefit the great
middle class whose savings go to make up
banks, trust and insurance companies
which are used by the System to secure
for themselves a hundred, a thousand and
ten thousand per cent interest on their
ca pitals while the real owners of these bill
lions must be content with 27z to per
cent per annum; and,
Next, it will benefit that class which
possesses large fortunes honestly acquired
inasnuch as it will enable them to know
what there is behind their investments.
None but those who have plundered the
peOple-acquired over night fortunes many
times larger than any honest lifetime eff
forts could bring-can possibly be hurt by
the application of my remedy.
You are right-any remedy which would
do other than what mine proposes to do
would be a farce.

Rear for Rennenkampff.

London. March 21.-Russian oficial
circles in London although without off,
cial news are inclined to credit a Har-
bin story published in Paris connect
ing the firing reported to have been
heard yesterday morning about seven
miles south of Tie Pass with General
RennenkamrfT's division. The dispatch
from Hardin points out that the only
explanation of a cannonade in that To-
cality IS that Remembrance has at
length arrived at Tie Pass, where the
Russian armies were ordered to rem
devious in case of retreat but only 10
find the place occupied by the Japanese
Consequently it is feared that Rennen-
kampfr is surrounded.

PROXIES as EVIDENCE.
In the Portland Mining Company
Suit ct Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs. Ia, March 21.-Proxies
given by James Doyle to Judge A. T.
Gunnell. of Colorado Springs, in 1894
and 1895 to be voted at the annual
meetings of the Portland Mining COM
pany. were introduced by the defense
in the Doyle-Burns case today to dis
prove statements repeatedly made by
Doyle that he had entrusted the man
agement of all his mining interests to
James f. Burns from whom he now
asks a half interest in claims and divi-
dends worth $500, GOO.
Doyle was asked as to the truth of
statements credited to him at the time
the Bob Tail No. 2 Tidal Wave and
Devils Own claims were transferred to
the Portland company to the effect that
Burns was a hog to demand so much
for them. He was also Intercepted
with the object of proving that he had
never laid claim to any interest in the
contested claims at that time. On these
points Doyle's memory failed him.

room. e. r~..-......

was sheltered by Frank wunderlick, who
held the animal for board and keep. Mar
tin said he went over to wunderllck's
place and identified tho calf and then had
his neighbor arrested for disturbing the
peace.
One of the witnesses IN the case, William
Rose, colored. sprung Joke while on the
stand by saying he could get neither head
nor tail OF the matter when he heard
Martin and Wunderlick talking
Then Judge 3erka asked Rose why he
did not get the head and tail Of the calf
and thus settle the matter. which re-
joinder caused c. r. Scott to break two

p. II. Koran, who Cor several years has
been carrying the mail between the station
at Fortieth and Cunning streets and the

Der 6. and no one seems to know where
he has gone. His family IL extremely
anxious about him and is as ignorant Of
his present whereabouts as the rest Of

Koran is an old soldier and he had ex-
pressed a determination to go to Denver TO
take in the Grand Army encampment with
view to finding some of his old comrades,
evidence in securing an increase OF pension.
He has been resident of Omaha for
twenty years or more and bears a good
reputation. He has a large family OF

Thomas Koran, is now carrying the mail
in his fathers place ana II has become
necessary for the department to advertise
for a new mail contractor for that route
the Koran contract having expired. There
is no irregularily connected with Horan's
disappearance, so far as is known.
This, however, is not Horan'B FIRST dis
appearance. He has on two or three oc-
casions dropped out OF sight for several
weeks or months and then turned Up again

man Of great public moment but the sentiment he
expresses is noteworthy because It comedies with the
views Of many Americans IN its phrasng It Is only
slight exaggeaon of utterances from the lips of Pres

Hobson says: "a big navy means peace earth and
commercial supremacy for the United States; of
It would cost millions of dollars but would pay

the worlds supply of money" The young man thinks
his idea is making great popular headway claiming that
he has advocated It in twenty-five states and the people,
declared "have appauded my doctrine besides vot

The hypothesis on which Hobson stands is quick

policy is to maintain navy fully equal in strength to
