Tho ghost of Ella Myers continues
to walk with urcnnny tread at the
erstwhile dive at the Santa lfy light-of-way.
Ijast night at 13 o'clock tho
doors of the house in which the girl is
supposed to have died suddenly flew
open and a figure clad in white was
scon at the windows. It is alleged
that groans also issued from the hith-
erto looked house auJ that threo
times a plaintive wail went up "Don't
give me any morphine I am sick."
For over a week aupernatual mani-
festations in the house have aroused
tho neighborhood aod the shacks in
tho vicinity of the huunted dwelling
have baon vacuted.
On Friday 'light George Hurriio
thinking the story of the ghofet n bu
pretnc josh culled at the house lie
found the front door locked. Going
to tho back door it was found locked
and bolted. Ilardie returned to the
front door and was preparing to re-
turn disgusted to towB when a low
plaintive wail assurleU his enrs and
almost simultaneously the front door
slowly Mvung open. Although badly
rattled Ilardie entered the house.
In the room whore the Myers girl died
he was struck four sharp raps on the
head by an unseen hand au.l at the
butue tluio a light resembling a calci-
um ray flashed across the ceiling of
th) room and within the ray appeared
a blood-red hand clutching a
bottle or phial. Manifestations and
ghostly seances similar to those seen
and heard by Ilardie have Ik en experi-
enced by twenty-five or thlrtv nir--
-.... . toitux me a welling out of curios-
ity. Kickapoo Charley visited the
plate on Thursday and was badly
frightened. In fact he fainted after
seeing the apparition and has been ill
evor since.
Ex-I'olieo Judge McCord is consider-
ably wrought up over the appear-
ance of the astral body lie adheres
to the belief that tbe Myers girl
was buried nlivc and that the body
was chucked into a coarse box face
downward.
Policeman Poteto avers that the ex-
huming of the body of the unfortu-
nate Cyprian will ihow that the botly
is distorted and twisted and tint tho
girl's ghost will haunt the colored un-
dertaker and her associates as long us
they live. Tho brother of tho dead
girl U in the city and will havo tho
botly disinterred and removed to Kan-
has for burial.
Jumes Whitman the man who was
with the Myers girl the night &hu is
supposed to have died has not been
suon since the burial. It is thought
ho knowt more about tne strange case
than ho tall.

Mfyou have no money and wish a
decent burial when you die postpone
dylug until you get out of Logan coun-
ty" remarked a prominent business
man yesterday. "I have just returned
lroui a ride about town" he contin-
ued "and during my rounds I passed
by what is supposed to be the burial
ground for paupers 1 must say suoh
a grave yard is a burning disgaee to
tho county. A man who would plaeo
a dead bodr in that soggy plat of
greund U devoid of all tbe merciful
humane feelings which go to make up
a man. Surely this county has money
enough to give its dead charges a re-
speotablo burial. This graveyard is a
marsh on the Cottonwood. Tbe caun-
ty undertaker after slapping a stiff
iuto a box hurries it to this wet
marsh and deposits it about four feat
under tbe ground. About twice a
yoar the river rises and overflows the
graves and we drink the water. Why
oau't a plat of ground be staked off
in Lynn's eemotery for the indigent
dead? The county owes that much to
deoeuey's sake. "

GOLD CONTRACTS INVALID
The Uuwtlou KiiUori Htiil Ituloil on In a
Xi)liraki Court.
Omaha Neb April 18. The ques-
tion of the legality of what arc
known its "gold coin contracts"
was raised for the first time in
this cmuity yesterday. It came up in
nn action to collect payment of n
$VK) mortgage note on "which a de-
fault in intorest had occurred. At-
torney for the defense raised the point
in the District court as to the cil'ect of
inserting in a note or contract the
words "to pay in gold coin" or the
words "to pay in gold coin or its
equivalent" and arguud that in either
form the note would be illegal being
in violation of the legal tender luw
and contrary to public policy. It was
further argued by the defense that if
not voiding and invalidating the note
entirely the section requiring pay-
ment in gold was void.
During the argument the court said
it would not enforce that part of the
note contracting to pay in gold; tint
if it came to a question of holding that
the note whs payable in gold or the
contract was illegal ot void the court
would hold that It was illegal and
void.

of a bill to retire a hospitnl steward
as a second lieutenant of cavalry and
a passage of a war claim of less than
8000. Tho latter was the first war
claim brought before the House for
consideration and naturally provoked
a gonoral dobate on tho policy of pay-
ing war claims. It drew from Mr.
Mahon Republican of Pennsylvania
chairman of the war claims committee;
Mr. Walker Republican of Massa-
chusetts; Mr. McCall Republican of
Tennessee and Mr. Evans Republic-
an of Kentucky eloquent pleas for
the payment of the llndings of the
court of claims. Mr. Mahon argued
that these claims should bo paid or
tho court abolished. Uarring tho
cotton claims he assorted 820000000
would pay them while Mr. Ray Re-
publican.'of Now York thought Sd00-
000000 would not pay them. Politics
of course was injected into the debate
boforc it was finished and there was
a lively bet-to between Mr. Dockcry
Democrat of Missouri and Mr. Qros-
venor Republican of Ohio.

Lkavbxwohth Kan. April IB. The
preliminary examination into the
Lamborn murder mystery was com-
menced before Justice Uond yesterday
afternoon and upon adjournment tbe
goneral expression was that tho Stato
will have to do much better than it
has yet done to make an action against
the defendants. Groat Interest is
shown by the public in the threo
prisoners and the court room was
crowded. The urisoners made a favor-
able impression upon tho audionce.
Detoctivo Schall'er is not here yet
and thoro are all sorts of speculations
about him. Last evening the county
attorney received a tologriTm from
him snying the woman who gave him
his information refused to come to the
hearing and it is probable the defense
will not be given an opportunity to
discover what citltor of thorn knows
about the case. Charlie and Annie
Lamborn have Messrs. Hook v. Atwood
as their attorneys while Davenport is
being defended by John O'lvcofe.
CY LELAND'S VIEW.
Tho A. I. A. AVnr Will llat- No KITert
on McKlnlry In Kmisus.
Topkka Ivan. April 18. Chairman
Cy Leland of the Republican Stato
ootnmitteo said in an interview here
that the A. P. A fight on MolCinley
did not amount to anything. "Tho
opposition to Governor Mclviuloy has
hired some chenp men to Issue mani-
festoes and adopt resolutions against
him in the hope of turning public at-
tention in another direction but the
scheme will fail" he said. "The A.
P. A. as an order is not fighting Mc-
Kinlcy. Here in Kansas where there
has lately been some talk among the
disgruntled few the A. P. A. is for
McKiulcy and so voted through its
representatives in the Wichita conven-
tion. Somebody has said that the
present A. P. A. unt 'ensantness grows
out of the Filloy-Kerens fight in Mis-
souri. I am sure this is not true. The
fight was brought on by the men who
are running for the Presidential nom-
ination against McKiulcy. Mclvinley
is a suro winner. My guess is that he
will be nominated by acclamation."

age. Several lines of telegraph aro
