TRUST EVIDENCE IS IN.
Transcript Sent to Attorney General
Coleman.

Attorney General C. c. Coleman to-
day received from Chas. Bower, stem
ographer of the Shawnee county dis
trict court, q complete transcript Of all
the evidence taken in the millers' trust
and implement trust inquisitions.
It is expected that General Coleman
and Assistant Attorney General Fred
S. Jackson will at once begin prosecu-
tons against the officers of these al
legged trusts.
The attitude taken by the officers of
the implement trust is that they have
devised a plan for cornering the trade
and suppressing competition which is
entirely out of the reach of the law.
They are willing to allow their books
and records TO be thoroughly inspect
ed and seem to court the fullest in
vestigation, confident in the fact that
they have taken an impregnable posi-
ton.
The millers. on the contrary. do not
know whether their scheme of organ
ization is contrary to law or not, but
they think it is not. They propose. ap-
parently, to make the state fight foI
what information 1t gets. This IS the
opinion Of the case expressed by one
Of the interested attorneys.

Easin, TO the FeeIln,s.

The weather had been cool and brac-

the sun now boiled down, and the black
flies-''the devils angels" some one
called them=came IN thousands to
feast upon the newcomers and make
life miserable for US all. Duncan was
as badly treated by them as any of US,
although he belonged to the country,
and I overheard him swearing at
lively gait soon after the little beasts
began their attacks.
why, Duncan, said I, Il didn't
know you swore.
II does, sir, sometimes-when things
makes me- he replied.
but it doesn't help matters any to
swear, does it?"
mo. sir, but (swatting his face)
damn the hies-it's easin' to the feel
ms to swear sometimes"
on several occasions after this I
heard Duncan "easin' his feelin's' in
long and astounding bursts Of profane
eloouence, but he did try to moderate
his language when I was within ear
shot. Once asked him:
where in the world did you learn
to swear like that. Duncan %
"At the lumber camps, sir, he re-
piled.

The story told was one to touch the

course of a week that he decided to hold
Manley until his story can be investi-
gated when he will probably be dismiss

ARE STILL FIGHTING.
Mccoy and Daub Go to Supreme
Court About Land Deal.

The Shawnee county lawsuit be-
tween two Rock Island officials Da-
Vfd J. Mccoy and Henry Daub, was
appealed to the Supreme court today
by Mr. Daub. Mccoy accuses Daub Of
trying to beat him out of his share Of
the proceeds in a land deal which the
two officials went into through the
possession of INSIDE informa ton
concerning the location of new
town.
Mccoy is a division engineer ST the
Rock Island and Daub is superinten-
dent of water service. On Sept. IT,
1901, he made a HON estead entry on
a quarter section OF land in New Mex
leo. Six months later he claims that
he made a verbal contract with Daub
that he (A1eCoy) should relinquish the
land, and that Daub should make a
new entry, the two men dividing up
equally the proceeds of the sale of the
land Mccoy claims that one Cyrus
Ogee heard the conversation. Ogee
testified that he heard the agreement
made.
In the jury room several jurymen
stated that they would not believe
Ogee under oath. and this fact was
brought out after the jury had re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.
Daub. The lower court ordered a new
trial on the evidence Of this error
having been committed, and Daub ap-
peals from the ruling.

COOPER UNION PACKED.
Hearst Opens His Campaign for Gov
ernorslsip of New York.

New York, Sept. 19.-W. r. Hearst op-
ened his campaign for governor with a
ratification meeting at Cooper Union.
His greeting by the audience, which
packed the hall, and the hundreds who
waited outside to catch a glimpse of
him recalled the ovations of his cam
paign for mayor.
Mr.. Hearst was cheered u minutes
when he came upon the stage at 10
O'Clock, after a half dozen speakers, in
Guiding Lewis S. Chanler, candidate for
lieutenant governor. and John Ford,
candidate for attorney general, had
spoken Women Joined in the noisy
denOnStra ton, waving flags and hand
kerchiefs, and one enthusiastic woman
run down the center aisle to the front
Of the stage, where she stood for ten
minutes enthusiastically waving her
handkerchief toward Mr.. Hearst.
The audience was no less enthusiasts
tic, If less in numbers, than that of a
week ago in Carnegie hall. With cheers
for every speaker and with rare
patience the audience waited for Mr..

the central figure and the hero of the
evening before he appeared. By every
speaker he was lauded as '-our leader
and when at last the audience caught
sight of his tall form and pale face at
the rear of the stage pandemonium
broke loose.
After Mr.. Hearst had been introduced
the noise began IN earnest, TWO DanQS
playing and every person in the hall
standing and shouting. The Rev.
Charles East. a Brooklyn minister, who
presided. tore a flag from the speakers

the applause. Time and again Mr.
Hearst raised his hands as If to still the
applause.
Finally, when the applause was dying
down, some one IN the rear OF the hall
shouted: Three cheers for Mrs.
Hearst" These were given and then
Three cheers for Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. .
Again, Three cheers for Buster
Hearst" This last caused Mr. Hearst
to laugh and the cheering was renewed.
Mr.. Hearst spoke from notes which

speech he was surrounded by a score of
policemen who escorted him outside
where overflow meetings were in prog

through the tumultuous, cheering throng,
and he was lifted to a big wagon IN
front Of the entrance. He waved his
hand and smiled. but shook his head
when the crowd begged for speech.
He sprang from the wagon and sought
to escape the crowd by starting as If to
go to Third avenue, and then wheeling

him. however, shouting madly. At least
1000 cheering persons followed him to

ANOTHER DIVIDEND.
Creditors Of First National to Receive
One Next Week.

A twelve and one-half cent dividend
will be declared by James T. Bradley,
receiver Of the First National, in favor
of the creditors of the bank, probably
not later than next week. The dividend
simply waits on an order from the
United States district court for au-
thorization, the necessary authority
from the comptroller of the currency
having been received this morning by
Mr.. Bradley.
The matter of securing authority
from the United States court is simply
a mere Formally and Will be secured
just as soon as Judge Pollock can get
here and the parties interested can get
together. This will probably take
place on Saturday.
The money for the dividend will
come from the sale Of $20S, 900 of col
lateral security held by the bank. The
security is in the form of bonds in the
following companies: Crawford Coun-
ty Coal company, 100000, face value:
Devlin-Miller Coal company, $4,000
face value; Galena, Frontenac &
The sale of the bonds will therefore be
on a basis of about SO cents on the
dollar. All three companies were
overloaded, especially the railroad
which 2 but four miles in length and
served simply as a coal road.
The money would really amount to
more than II 4 per cent dividend -
said Mr.. Bradley, but we don't like TO
run the amounts to uneven figures and
1t would not be enough to amount to
Is per cent. This Will make the sec
ond dividend, the first on Christmas,

SURGERY on CROOKS.
Doctor Who Has Cured IncorrigibIe
Boys Favors Experiments.

Toledo. Sept 19-Dr. Peter Donnel-
ley, the Toledo physician who has so
successfully operated on criminal chill
dren, came out with statement that
he greatly favored the states investi-
cation of cases, to ascertain the prac-
ticability of trying the surgery in the
state penal institutions.
DR., Donnelley says: IT believe the
state could prof1tably take up this
question and apply It to the state in
situations. There are two great reasons
why the state ought to do this. One Is
from the humanitarian standpoint, the
other from monetary standpoint.
IF by operation It can be established
that fncorrigibles can be cured it viii
be a great blessing to humanity The
number Of inmates of these institutions
would be appreciably lessened. Natur-
ally, it would mean great decrease in
the cost Of maintenance in these insti-
tutions and the state would benefit both
ways.
Il would like to see a commission
appointed to take up this question and
study it for a year or more.
Brain surgery is in its infancy and
experiments along the line OF curing in
coErigibIes from pressure may lead to
the discovery of a sure cure for cases
from abnornality."

TRUST DON'T HURT.
Seth Wells Says Independent OIL Com
panles VIII Make Money.

State Auditor Seth G. Wells, who is III
Topeka today, believes that the indie
pendent oil Iehneries in the state are
destined to max a lot of money for their
owners.
I'VE have an oil refinery at Erie said
Mr.. Wells today. which IS sending kero-
sene and gasoline to q number OF sta
lions in the west. It Is running day and
night Sundays. and its capacity is 1870
barrels per day. It can't keep up with
here It received an order for seven car
loads Of kerosene.
In some places the Standard has tried
to run 1t out by cutting under Its price,
but people continue to buy the independ-
ent refinery goods.
This refinery has a selling agent in
Arkansas. one in Iowa. one in Mime
sofa, one in SoSth Dakota, and is ship
ping oil to all these states. Oil which is
thus shipped is not inspected by the
Kansas oil inspection department, and
consequently does not azS3ear on the
Kansas reports. That is the reason the
Great Western refinery. is not credited
with a larger output.
"All the buildings at the Great West
ern refinery are built of brick, and the
business is not a speculative proposition.
like some refinery companies. The con-
Germ is there to stay. They are now
about to commence the erection of a
$4,000 wax plant. which Will enable
them to save the paraffine in which their
oil is rich. This paraffine Is considered
one Of the most valuable ingredients Of
the Oil, and the only thing is to get the
machinery to extract it.
This plant at Erie is owned largely
by parties outside the state, who had
a lot of good oil wells and no wav to
dispose of their oil. They decidGa to
build refinery of their own and it is
turning out to be a great money maker.
There is not a bit of doubt that peo-
pie who have the nerve to go into this
teliigence and the necessary capital, viii
make big money. There are immense
profits in refining oil and there seems TO
be no reason why independent reffneries
can not enjoy these profits as we'll as the

TWO soAKINGs FOR INDIAN.
Purchased One Last Night and Judge
Gave Him Another.

Walter. Bourbundy, an Indian, dressed
in a tailor made suit Of clothes and
wearing patent leather shoes, and pos
sessed with a good many of the habits
of his worthless white brothers, was
fined $40 in the police court this morn
ing for drunkenness.
He was very drunk on street car
last night and particularly obnoxious
when arrested and besides this the po-
lice blotter shows that he was arrested
on the eth of June and again on the
18th Of August and then, again a week
later and still another time last night.
His fine of $40 he insists was assessed
because one of the officers has 1t in
for him" and as his relatives have pass
ed him up, it is more than likely that
an Indian dressed in patent leather
shoes and wearing tailor-made clothes
win spend the remainder of this month
and a portion of next on the rock pile.
