good ill chases. Quinn never took the stand i'll his own behalf, nor were any members of his family sub poenaed by his counsel to testify.
 During the trial it was shown that quinn had threatened Blanks life, but 1t was also shown that his life had been threatened by other negroes. Do- mestic troubles in Quinn's home is said to have brought about the threat. Some of the officers testified that on the night of Quinns arrest they found shotgun in his home. freshly cleaned and loaded. An emp ty shell was found in closet and bull lets taken from Blanks body corre- sponded to those used by Quinn in his gun. Oil was also found in back room where the gun was supposed to have been cleaned.
 The case was one of the most in- teresting murder trials heard in this city for some months. The prominence of the negroes attracted large as- semblage of negro spectators ill the court room, and the questions raised by opposing counsel as to the reli- ability and unreliability of the blood- hounds created no little interest among dog fanciers and officers.

RECEIVER WARNER
 IS REMOVED Judge Wood Grants Prayer of Creditors of Defunct
 Bank of Dumas.
PICKENS AND THANE
Are Named--PreSilcnt Coulter Cas. not Sell Vernon Plantation.
 Must bc Leased.

In the Deslla .chanoety court. aflaAr> kansas City. Saturday Judge /. T. Wood appointed Bert C. Pickens. of Walnut Lake, and H. Thane. of Ar charge of the assets of the IefunM Bank of Dumas, and removed CHA, Warner, who was named receiverssev- eral weeks ago when the hank made an assignment. The action of the chanccrS court was~raken at the in stance of CIV. McCullom and others. who petitioned the court to dissolve the corporation and to remove the re- ceiver. IL was alleged that Warner was appointed receiver without tho knowledge of the creditors. The pe- titioners also asked the court to en- join President Fl. l.. Coulter of the defunct institution from disposing of certain property purchased by the bank known as the Vernon planta- tion. The plantation is situated on Il includes abont S6O acres of farm land iII cultivation.
 Through their attorneys. Austin and Danaher. of this city. the creditors contended that the conveyance of the property to it's creditors was made to the bank without their consideration: hot l,n account, and. inasmuch as tine title to same rested with Pres, dent Coulter, they asked that he he required to re- convey it to the bank, and, pending a final hearing, that he be enjoined from selling tOr encumbering the same. This the chancellor did. after hearing argument for two days The court also removed Receiver Warner and appointed Pickens and Thane, CO., receivers, with directions that they lease the plantation for this year for the benefit of the creditors
 Some of the stockholders of the de- fllnct institution urged the court to appoint the new bank at Dumas, to be known as the Merchants and Farm CTS Bank. receiver. The creditors opposed it on the ground that many stockholders of the new institution were members of the defunct bank and therefore might be interested in the sale of the assets. 1t is the ob- ject of the creditors. they say, to make the assets of the old institution bring as much as possible and incidentally prevent any supposed combinations. The Vernon plantation is said to be valued at from $3O,O00 to $4O,000 and 1 together with the other assets of tho defunct institution, might. if properly ! administered, be made to realize the
 par indebtedness of the bank There
 are about 125 depositors and creditors
 of the defunct bank.
 Attorneys Young and Rowell. of
 this city, represented President Coul-
 ter at the hearing, and Attorney Jack Bcrnhardt, of Dumas, appeared for , the creditors.

COLUMN DEVOTED TO
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

A favorite argument against woman
suffrage is that they do not understand
business that men, by nature of their
occupation, know more about business
than women. hence are better fitted to,
run a city or a state. !
Women hove a vote in every other cor
poration in which they are shareholders.
George William Curtis said: "a woman
may vote as a stakeholder upon a rail-
road from one end of the country. to
the other but if she sells her stock and
buys a house with the money, she has
no voice in the laying out of the road
before her door. which, her house is taxed
to keep and pay for
Moreover, it is not true that. a mans
experience in his own business teaches
him how to carry on the business of a
city. Some years ago a fashionable
caterer was elected to the Massachusetts
legislature and was appointed a men,
Der of the committee on filling up the
South Boston fats. Another member
said to him. scornfully. what do you
know about filling up flats anyway?"
The caterer answered quietly. THAT
has been my business for twenty years.. -
The answer was good, as a joke, but
as a matter of fact. what had his ex-
perience of planning dinners taught
him about-the way to turn tide mud
into solid ground? What does the butcher
learn from his business about the best
way to pave a..street, or the baker about
the best way to build a sewer, or the
candle stick maker about the best way
to lay out a park, OF to choose school
teachers or policemen, or. to run a city
hospital? Does q" minister learn from
his profession how, to keep the streets
clean, or a lawyer how to conduct a
public school, or a doctor how to put out
a fire? A mans, business at best, gives
him special knowledge konly in regard
to n or two departments, Of city affairs.

housekeepers, aives, them special. know
ledge in regard to some important de-
partments of public work, those relating
to children, schools. play grounds. the

morals. the care of the poor, etc.
For what lies outside the scope of
their experience. men and women
alike must rely upon experts. All. they
need, as voters. is sense enough and
conscience enough to elect honest and
