Wynnilnltn County Fruit (Irowcrs Will Sell
(l.iiou llurn-N ut St Kiich.
The Fruit Growers' Asroclatlon of Wy
andotte county held a meeting nt the court
Iiouhc yesterday nft.nioon and arranged
for the sale of a portion of their apple
crop. A revolution was adopted request
ng tho yecretary to notify apple buyers
in tlw North, Kast ami South that they
can purchase (S.noO barrels of apples In
this county within the next two weeks
at 1 per barrel. The notices wero sent
out last evening. Some of the members
declared that they would not sell for
less than $1.50, but a few wanted to get
rnl of their crop Immediately, and thev
nuivi-d to stll the number of barrels stated
for $1 each.
It Is llk.-ly that the bulk of the crop of
this county will go to the Southern states.
vomt.iI of the growers have shipped there
th.s sra-un, nnd they have secured higher
pn.-ey than .levhere. They expect buyers
lo llo I; here at once nnd remain until the
crop is all t-old.
At the meeting tho members discussed
tlie fcuHlbi.lty of erecting a large cold
storage house for the purpose of storing
the crop arter this year. The plan was
looked upon with favor by all of the mem
bers, some of whom are rich enough to
build a house themselves. Several mem
bers ngreed to talt stock In such an en
terprise. Another meeting will be held
later, when l his question will bo more
fully discussed.

The Council AVIII viin I'm., the Topeka
llppllng Simp Otillinint'C.
The city council will meet to-morrow
evening, when the Topeka tippling shop
ordinance will likely be passed. The or
dinance was Introduced several weeks ago
and rcferml to tli omittance committee,
Of Which it. .V. Smith U ehnlrmnn for- In.
spectlon. The cominitlio has had It tvr
since, but It was stated last evening that
a report would be made favoring Its pas
sage at tho meeting to-morrow esening.
In case the committee, does not file a re
port on tho ordinance, the measure will
be recalled from the committee and passed,
so it Is said.
The present tippling shop ordinance con
flicts with the state law. because it only
l.xes the minimum penalty at 150, while
the state law nxes It at Sled. The new or
dinance fixes the penalty the same as the
stato law, so far us the line Is concerned.
Ih city has no authority to Impose a
Jail sentence, except for the non-payment
of lines.
The committee appointed to Investigate
the reasons why the appeal cases np
pfaled from the police court to the dis
trict court have nut been tried, spent n
portion of the day yesterday looking up
the casts. They found tnat seventy-slx
cases had been appealed. They are all
s'l for hearing in a few weeks, when
,.udKiS, All,'e" I'll'es up the criminal docket.
It will take nbout tlrrty days to try thee
appeals. A member of the committee said
last livening that the "Jolntlsts" tak np.
peals for delay, and Hint if they continue
doing so the court uill soon be clogged.
"I.ach one has the right to demand a
Jury trial." said In , "and you know what
that means it is hard to get Juries to
convict a liquor man In this county. The
appeal Is a new do lac of the Jolntists and
they are working it to perfection."

Those who are opposed to voting bonds

ure. An ueilvo campaign has been Inau
gurated. Yesterday handbills were cir
culated setting out reasons why the citi
zens of Independence should vote against
bonds for tho building of a main sewer
from tho city limits to tho river. Tho
handbills t,el out that the improvement
would be for the few as against tho mass
es. Mr. James Buchanan stated yesterday
that ho had the circulars printed for tbo
reason that be believed that it was a good
method to bring out the facts for the peo
ple to contemplate before election day.
While the circular Is only an Incident of
tho campaign, it serves to show that tho
friends of tho movement have arguments
to overcome which aro being considered
by the voters.

COLONEL ROSS EXPLAINS,
He Tells the District Court Whtit Iteenma
of tha S7o, ()( Ho Itrrcltrd Out of
thu Choctaw (lollge.
Washington, Sept, 21. Colondl D. M
Koss, fonnorly of Guthrie, but now ot thu
District of Columbia, had a very warm
time for fivo hours on tins witness standi
yesterday In the supreme court of tho
District, In explaining what ho did with
tho t,U"0 ho received out of the $3,000,000
paid out by this administration Juno C,
1593. In tho early days of Oklahoma Colo
nel Ross was full of schemes, but -complained
of not having tho means to carry,
out his plans. Harry Bacon and Harry
Black, of Guthrie, secured a contract Willi
tho Choctaws ujid Chickasaw s to do cer
tain work for them In congress for a,
cximmlsslon equal to $76,000. It the scliomo
went through. They concluded to tako lu
Boss, and undor the contract with him.
Boss was to siiend his time working thu
scheme, and Bacon ami Black were to
put up his expenses. At the same tlmn
the colonel worked twenty ot the good
citizens of Guthrie for expense money for
certain other alleged work. Finally tho
legislation passed, but the colonel said
he did not got a cent of money out of It,
nnd this was accepted as true by Bacon
and Black. Ross indicated that ho had,
been given a lltUo money, but nothing on
tho contract, and he sent to Bacon nml
Black J-VOO to divide between them, which,
was something short of tho amount they
had put up to pay bis expenses under tha
terms of the contract. Although tho big;
meal went through congress President
Harrison refused to pay It, and It was loft
for the present administration to do. Srlll
Ross Insisted that he did not get a cnc
on tho contract. Nothing more was known;
about it until Senator Piatt by resolution
called upon tho secretary of the treasury
to report to the senate who had received
tho funds paid out by the administration.
The report showed that Colonel Ross ha t
received $73,000, and then It occurred lo
Bacon and Black that tbov had each been
dumped for $23,000 and suit was commenced.
On the stand to-day, the colonel said ha
bad received the money oil right, but it
was under a different contract from that
secured by Bacon and Black. He sni.l
tbo contract had run out live days befoio
the money was paid, and that In the mean
time he had become acquainted with Colo
nel Parsons, of Maryland, a member o
the legislature of that date. Colonel Par
sons had become Interested with Boss av
the contract, but when It expired Parsonn
himself secured a contract from Green
McCurtaln, ot the Choctaw Nation, and
the Parsons contract called for the sqmn
amount as the old contract with B.icon,
Black and Boss. In this way Ross saya
that Parsons, after securing this secotnl
contract, as-signed it over to him, so that
he could get the money, as It might not
look well for Colonel Parsons, with his
known legislative pull, to appear as hav
ing received the funds.
Colonel Roes says that Parsons allowed
him to keep the money some months; that
