AN INSURANCE DISPUTE.
Question of Payment of $4,000 to
Dry Goods Company.

The Home Insurance company of
New York has filed a bill of equity
with George Sharitt, clerk of the Unit
ed States circuit court, in which they
ask w. H. Jones and eleven insurance
companies to appear before the cir
cult court in order that a controversy
concerning the settlement of a fire in
surance case might be settled at one
fell swoop. A fire at Ottawa, Kansas,
not long ago destroyed the building
and stock of the Jones Dry Goods
company and in asking for the insur-
ance the dry goods firm claimed a
$38, 600 loss. The insurance compan-
les rebelled at this claiming that the
loss was excessively represented also
the value of the goods.
This case was first taken into the
state courts and suits were brought
separately. Then four of the com
panies-The Home, Queen. Germania
and Michigan mmercial-brought
the matter into the federal courts
| This action of the Home insurance
company In fling its bill through r.
s. Quinton for the firm Of Quinton &
Quinton. brings the matter to a head
| in the federal court and it will be
combined and fought out as one COM
plete suit. This settling of the mat
tiers in one action Will save multiple
| city of suits and immense costs All
the companies III the state suits are
proportionally liable and one action
would clear up troubles.

the Barton miller to bow to the inevitable.
This is the first successful prosecution
by the board of health under the new
weights and measure law passed by the
last legislature. Jas. W. Clark, county
attorney of Barton county, conducted the
prosecution on evidence secured by John
kleinans, pure food inspector.
1t was found upon investigation that

three pounds short of the required weight
to the barrel when tested by correct scales.
The flour was sold in sacks labeled As

1850 pounds of flour per day. Flour is

confessed to selling by these weights for
a period extending over a year, count
ing only 300 working days to the year, the
that this miller gained $1,000 clear profits
in the, past year by the short weight

HEAR PRIVATE CAR COMPANIES.
State Tax Commission Fixes the Date
for May 3.

The state tax commission has set
May as the date for hearing the COM
plants of the private car companies
of the state before that body in re-
gard to their assessments. There are
about forty or fifty of these companies
in. Kansas and they will doubtless be
heard by the commission in a body.
After them will come the pipe line
companies and last the street railway
companies. Then the board will get
down to the serious business of deter
mining the basis of assessment for the
corporations of the state. The tele-
phone companies of the state doing an
intercounty business will be heard by
the commission tomorrow. There are
325 of these companies this year as
compared with ESQ last year.
The complaints of the railroad COM
panies of the state were heard this
week All the big roads were repre-
scented by their officers and attorneys
and all had plenty to say about the
"exorbitant'' assessment placed
against their property by the commits
sion last year and quoted the assess
ments in other states in support Of
their arguments. Nothing startling,
however, was developed in the rail-
road hearings this year.

HARSHA MAKES APPEAL
Asks That Custer Judgment Against
Him Be Set Aside.

Ex-Mayor ]. P. Harsha of Hutchin-
son through his attorney today filed a
motion in the supreme court to set
aside the judgment of custer found
against him in the decisions handed
down from the last term. The petit
ton narrates that as Harsha's term of
office had expired and he had been
succeeded by the duly elected mayor
before the court decision was handed
down. that he held no office from
which to be ousted by the court. In
other words, that he could not be
ousted from an office that he did not
hold. He prays the court to set aside
its decision as there is no end to be
served by the same, and that the pres
ent court records leave a stain or blot
upon his character.
This petition is unique in court rec
ords and the action of the court in
this Latter is awaited with curious in
terest. Harsha was ousted from office
on the ground of failure to enforce the
prohibitory law in Hutchinson.

ROAR and A HISS.
About All That Resulted From
Dynamiting Niagara Ice Jam.

Fort Niagara, N. Y, April 22.-The
great ice foe still entirely locks the
mouth of the Niagara gorge in spite
of vigorous assault upon it today with
dynamite. The chief effect of the
explosion of 100 pounds of dynamite
was roar, prolonged hiss and a
liberal sprinkling of ice within the
grounds of Fort Niagara The chan
mel was not even opened and the slush
ice which shot 60 feet into the air
fell back into the hole from which it
had arisen.
The main mass of ice from the
mouth of the river, 10 miles north,
does not show a single crack and is
apparently as solid as masonry. About
100 feet from the road a narrow chan
mel is swiftly running About so feet
north of the head of this channel is
a good acre of green water streaked
with chunks of ice which have come
from Lake Erie much of the way by
hidden passages.
The attempt was to break the ice
bridge separating the two open spaces.
To reach the ice bridge it was neces-
sary to lay road of planking, for the
ice is so soft in spots that man
would sink in it. Across these plankss
Jerry Mccarthy, of Buffalo, and
ives, bore two big bundles of dyna-
mite and rammed them down into Is
feet of .sIush and water into holes
forty feet apart. State Superintend-
ent of Public Works Kunzie touched
off the fuse at safe distance.
Mr.. Kunzie expects to set on the
next few charges of dynamite at the
head of a small channel on the
Canadian side of the river. 1t is be-
lieved the ice is somewhat more
cohesive at that point and that 1t Will
break throughout wider area.
