Opposed by Public.
There have been various moves and
propositions to settle the matter. but
ne public sentiment has always been
strong against any settlement. the gen.
eral feeling icing that the drain was
q fraud from start to finish. and thai
the city should not pay for it. unless
every possible defense had failed in
The courts- The city has spent large
sums OF money in litigation over the
drain, and it is probable that the S12,
0no and the amount of the interest on
that sum for II years has been e,.-
ceefed by the cost Of litigation and
the $4,000 now paid over for convey.
ance of the sewer.
The settlement, however, clears the
way for the proposed new Sixth ward
sewer system, now being planned by
the board of local Improvements The
city engineer. when the Sixth ward
system was proposed. reported that if
lac old Twenty-fourth street drain
was used for the outlet. it would re-
'iGjre considerable repairing. and
there was general sentiment in the
council for the construction of an en-.
tirely new outlet to the river The
feeling was that the Twenty-fourtl
street sewer should not be touched
lest the city become liable for the
tGst of its construction. The sewer
bad. however. been used as an outlet
Ill certain ways, and various natural
water courses have had their outlet

lican party in Arkansas, was born in
Bethel, Pa, August Z, 1888, and was
educated at the Bristol academy in
Pennsylvania. Later he studied civil
1859 he was chosen engineer and sur
veyor of Leavenworth. Kan, and that
marked the beginning of his career in
the west. At the beginning of the civil
war he enlisted as captain of the First
Kansas infantry, and a year later was
appointed lieutenant-colonel of the
Fifth Kansas cavalry. In the same
year he was made colonel. The greater
part of his military service was car
ried on in Arkansas, where he led sew
eral minor expeditions, for which he
was commissioned brigadier general.
After the close Of the war he settled
in Arkansas and rapidly gained in pop
ularity. In 1868 he was elected gov
ernor of Kansas and from 1871 to 1877
he served as United States senator from
Arkansas. In 1897 he was appointed
u S ambassador to Mexico, which po-
sition he held until 1905. He always
took a leading part in the republican
party of his state and has been a mem
Der of every republican national con-
vention from 1872 to the present day.
At various times he has been connect
ed with various commercial enterprises
in Arkansas and has held the position
of president and general manager Of
the Eureka Springs Railway, Ark. His
business interests are quite extensive
and he has acquired large fortune.
