Enid, Ok., March 11. -Because of
an attempt to uselessly expend city
funds in South Enid, Mayor Moore
resigned and W. R. Gregg became
acting mayor. The next day Moore
made attempts to withdraw his resig-
nation, and was so requested by a
large number of citizens, but the
council refused to let him withdraw
it, as they wanted to get rid of him.
An injunction was issued by Judge
Thompson against Gregg acting as
mayor, and Friday Judge Burford
dissolved the injunction at Kingfisher
on the ground that it was not brought
in the proper manner.
Boodle, corruption and fraud are
charged against some of the officials,
and at the meeting of the council
last night an effort was made to
capture the city records for the pur-
pose of showing that all money col-
lected does not appear in these
records. When one man tried to
get the clerk's books over a hundred
guns and revolvers flashed into sight,
and it needed but the flash of one
pistol to have made the council room
a slaughter house.
The records are now being guarded
by a posse of armed men, who are
heavily armed, with instructions to
resist any and all attempts to get
them, even to the killing of the
parties who attempt it. It is feared
that bloodshed may come of it yet.
Captain Hassler, who is receiver of
public money at the Enid land office,
may be drawn into the squabble, as
he is a candidate for mayor in the
coming election.
The light in the campaign is bitter

The Kansas City Star struck the
basis of all successful life when it
penned these words, which every
young man should take to his heart:
Washington achieved his high
place, pronounced "first," in war and
in peace and in the hearts of his
countrymen, through his usefulness,
his practical value to his country.
He was not merely a believer but a
doer of the word. He was not a mere
theorist, he was an actor. He planned,
but he also built. How sure and
j sound was his work is shown in the
I foundations which still exist: and
whence it is that the flag, the first
sample of which he held in his hands
and approved, today flies in the winds
of March all over the land which he

about our fair city. A long article
of similar tenor appeared in the
Wichita Eagle. Doubtless they
were written by the same hand. But
let us hope that the special devil who
has been deputized to pour boiling
rozzum over the writer of them when
he dies, is getting everything in
readiness and that many moons will
not have waxed and waned before he
will have an opportunity to spit with
joy upon his hands and proceed
eagerly to his work.
A Kansas paper describes some
shooting and cutting that occurred
at a church social. A young man, on
finding that he had not enough money
to pay for the oysters he and his girl
had devoured, shot out of the door
and cut for the suburbs.
I care what all the jealous little whip-
per snappers around him may wish to
4* say of him personally, he never an-
swers them. It is only when his city,
which is his client, is attacked
by vultures of the profession that
speak out. We are not weak
enough or passionate enough to
even notice the filth thrown at our
door this morning by an alleged
editor, but when it comes to abusing
honest energetic citizens, who are
striving to assist the city with their
time, energy and money in the way
of getting much needed railroad
facilities, the WAVE thinks it time
to call a halt. This morning's excuse
for a newspaper was to apologize
for the reflections he cast against
the good name and good intentions of
the public spirited men of our city.
In one little article he apologizes,
but in another he kills the appoligy
by saying that the committee hav-
ing this railroad matter in charge is
a boomerang.,
The word boomerang means a club,

Washington. March 1«l— During- the
argument yesterday afternoon in the
Pollard-Breckinridge ease of a motion
to suppress a deposition taken at Lex-
ington, Ky., Wednesday, Mr. Johnson,
of Miss Pollard's counsel, characterized
the objections as chicanery, insolence
and effrontery, and especially attacked
Mr. Shelby, of Kentucky, one of Mr.
Breckinridge's counsel. The latter
jumped up excitedly, but Judge Brad-
ley adjourned court Mr. Breckinridge
tried to speak to the judge, but was
waved aside.
As the counsel were leaving the court-
house, Mr. Shelby stopped Mr. Johnson
in the hall and rebuked him for his
harsh criticisms. Hot words followed
and then Shelby struck Johnson. Car-
lisle went to the assistance of his fel-
low-counsel and in a moment several
blows were being exchanged. Cool-
headed men present, however, soon re-
strained the belligerents.
one deposition admitted.
Another deposition, that of Mrs.
Mary Logan, taken before Notary
Lowry Jackson, in Cincinnati, was of-
fered for the plaintiff and objected to
by the defendant. In the argument
following it developed that this
testimony was concerning the birth
of Miss Pollard's first child. At-
torney Carlisle admitted that
identification of Miss Pollard by
the witness was not com-
pleted but complained of the manner
and length of the cross examination of
Mrs. Logan, who had herself protested
against it as persecution. Judge Brad-
ley decided that as much more than a
day had been consumed in a cross exam-
ination of Mrs. Logan, the right of the
defendant had been preserved and ad-
mitted the deposition, the defense not-
ing an exception. Mrs. Mary Logan, a
Cincinnati physician, as appeared from
the deposition read by Mr. Carlisle, in
1884 treated a young girl about to be
confined who gave the name of Monica
Burgoyne, saying that her friends
called her "Mona." The witness said
that Miss Pollard, who was then in the
notary's office, bore some resemblance
to her, though she had doubtless
changed. It was the young woman's
first child and she had represented that
her husband had died or there were
family reasons for keeping the birth a
secret.

lawyers of Topeka, Kan , were before
Judge Caldwell yesterday with an ap-
plication revoking the license of cer-

Notice of the intention of the Brazil-

arrangement, firing could not begin
before noon to-day. Da Gama's offer
to surrender was made, therefore, fully
twenty-four hours before an* attack
was to be expected. The offer, in fact,
followed the first actual show of de-

SUSTAINED THE DECISION.
Final Derision In t Suit for h II ot chliitnu
Estate.
Topeka, Kan., March 14.—Information
, from Washington is that the United
States supreme court has sustained the
; decision of the Kausas supreme court
in the case of Caldwell vs. Miller, in-
volving a quarter section of land in the
I town of Hutchinson. The land in
question was at one time valued at
nearly 1500,000. The suit turned
on the legal interpretation of
the word "heirs." Robert Titus,
the father-in-law of 1). B. Miller,
went to the war of 1812, leaving a wife
aud child. He neglected to return to
his family and soon after remarried
without securing a divorce. He settled
on the quarter section, now a part of
Hutchinson, but died before securing
full possession. Miller, who married a
daughter of the second wife, bought
the interest# of the legitimate children
of Titus and then sold the track to the
Hutchinson Investment Co.
At this point Caldwell, one of the
heirs of the illegitimate children by
Titus' second wife, bought the claims
of all the illegitimate children except
that of Miller, who refused to sell.
Suit was then brought for Miller's
share, 13-28ths of the property. The
district court gave Miller the decision
on the ground that the common law,
which only recognized legitimate
children, should govern. The
Kansas supreme court reversed
the decision on the plea that
the Kansas statutes provided that ille-
gitimate children should be given title
when recognized by the father, and
this, Caldwell claimed, had been done.
Thus the deed to the investment com-
pany, which was based on the purchase
of the interests of the legitimate chil-
dren, is void and the property must be
returned. Mrs. I). B. Miller, widow of
D. B. Miller, still lives in Hutchinson.
Silk Dyer* Destroy Property.
Patkrson, N. J., March 14.—The
striking silk dyers marched to the

the unfinished silk on the floor, turned
on the steam in the tubs and burned
a large quantity of the material.
The mob then proceeded to tke dye
house of Richard J. Bard an. The
owner threatened to shoot the first
man who entered the place, but the
crowd took no notice of his threat, in-
vaded his premises and ordered the
operators to oease work. Policemen
are guarding all the dye houses in the
city.

Karlj Kffort* at Making Cook Stoves.
Doubtless some form of cooking stovo
has been used from avery early period.
Previous to 1745 the stoves of all kindb
used in America were imported froitl
Holland or Germany, but in that year
a stove was invented by Benjamin
Franklin that was a great improve-
ment on all that had preceded it. In
1771 he continued his inventions in this
line aud produced a stovo for burning
bituminous coal which consumed it8
own smoke and another which, after
being tilled at the top, could be in-
verted and made to burn from the
base. Between 1785 and 1705 several
improvements in stove, ovens, heating
and cooking apparatus were made by
Count Rum ford, and as early as 179*
his soaps tone-lined ranges hud been in-
troduced in New York and were com-
ing gradually into general use.—St.
