Topeka. Kan, Nov. 1l---Thousand

lana iii Kansas, togetherwith a large
amount oflland located ia.,towps and
cities Of the state Is given to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railway by q
decision Of the Kansas supreme court
Saturday in the case Of that railway
company against Watson.
In July, 1866, congress granted to
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
Southern branch, now the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway company, q
right Of way 200 feet wide from Fort
Riley to the south line Of the state.
Afterward patents were issued 10
private persons for land through which
the railroad runs without excepting
the right of way These persons have
treated the right Of way as being only
100 feet wide and in some cases val
liable improvements have been erected
on the outer 50 feet on each side,
which have been occupied and used
without disturbance for many years.
The railroad company brought suit to
oust these occupants and the court
decides in its favor.
The land effected by the decision
lies in Geary, Morris, Lyon, Coffey,
Woodson, Allen, Neosho and Labette
counties.

Production Of silver.

The production Of silver in the
United States has not varied rad
lcally since 1899, and we arrive at our
Judgment of a radical variation by
comparison with the change In the
output of gold, which has indeed been
radical, says the Black Hills Mining
Review. There was a difference OF
$4,000, 900 ounces, approximately 2S
per cent, between the low production
Of 1894 and the high of 1892, while
there has been no new extreme with
In IL years. The annual output OF
gold has considerably more than
doubled within that time. The vari-
alton in the worlds silver production
during the Is year period has been
less than that of the United States,
the high extreme Of 1898 exceeding
the low of 1891 by about rs per cent.
The worlds annual production OF gold
has, on the other hand, been going
steadily forward, except for the inter-
ruption by the Boer war, practically
treblng since 1891. The United
States has bought no silver in 1S
years. The last purchases were un-
der the act Of 1890, by which in ex.
cess Of 16S,OOO,OOO ounces were ac
quired. During the 20 years follow
Ing 1873 the government purchased
almost 5O0,O0O,OOO ounces, or at the
average rate Of about 25,oOO.OOC
ounces per year.

WHAT is THE

Mystery Of Writing on Yellow SiPof Paper That
sag " Ended Contest for $6O,0OO,OOO. ], n a.
Something in Written Memorandum in the Fine Hand Of William
Weishtmn Humbled the Pride Of Mrs. Jones Wstr and
is Drove LAWYERS Out Il Court-Neither Side viii Talk

The case opens and the first witness
is called. He is A. w. Hopes, for
years credit manager for the drug
firm Of Powers 6 Weightman, which
was owned by William Weightmani
alone. The testimony Of Hopes Is
of no consequence except to himself,
because he tells of the gift OF $lOO,ooo
made to him by Mrs. Walker after the
death of her father. This causes a
mild sensation, but that dies down as
the plans Of the contestants begins to
unfold 1t is obvious that they ex-
pect to show that to the will of 1898
made by Weightman codicil was
added which distributed to the six
daughters of Mrs. Jones Wister, once
Mrs. William Weightman, Jr., pro-
portionate share of the estate. 1t de-
yelops soon after that they know a
paper was drawn up and 1t is now in
the possession of Mrs. Walker.
Old Mans Grim Prophecy.
What induced the belief that 1t was
codicil is a letter treasured by Mrs.
Wister in the aged mans fine copper
plate writing received few years be-
fore his death. 1t is written on the
Fourth of July.
| II have been much annoyed by the
| fireworks all day around the house,
but l have just signed and attested a
paper which will some day make more
noise than three such holidays"
Couched as it was in the friendliest
terms, addressed to the woman now
contesting, in reality, there was every
reason for her and her lawyers to
think 1t is a codicil or direction at
least in aid of his grandchildren. That
it might be revenge or grim joke
never entered their heads.
The will is produced and read, and
after the aged Hopes has left the
stand a stout, red mustached man OF
about so, answering to the name OF
Edward T. Davis, is sworn in and be-
gins his testimony. He was William
Weightman's private secretary and
real estate agent for about % years
He was witness to his will.
The examination had now reached
point that threw hush over every
body but the two. 1t appears that
upon Davis the contestants relied to
prove there had been codicil. Mr.
Simpson took up that phase.
do you remember paper after
ward written by Mr. Weightman ant
locked in his desk?" began the lawyer
suavely.
The witness hesitates as II reluctan
to answer, but he finally answers
quietly: "Yes, remember it,"
Mr.. Robinson draws himself up i'm
portantly. "Mr. Carson" he exclaims
impressively, 81 am afraid we shal
have to call upon you to produce tha
paper"
Just at that moment Mr.. Carson i
very busily engaged in trying to max
his thumbs go around in opposite d
rections.
