In a trial for damage against the
town of Springfield Mass., for the death of
a younx lady by a defective highway, one
doctor tetltred that her collar bone was
broken, which two others contradicted.
The first, to head off the pot mortem, went
t the cemetery to exhume the body and
make good his testimony by breaking the
collar bone. He was discovered in the act
of digging up the corp-x; by a person who
win at first bribed, but who has since told
the whole rtory.
ThcToieka Commonwealth is in receipt of
reports from fifty points in the state cover
ing nil the imiortint wheat growing dis
tricts concerning the condition of the win
ter wheat. The official figures for tho
wheat harvest of the present year puts the
told area at one and a half million acre.
From the rciort received by the Common
wealth it is estimated that the fall seeding
will not fall far short of that of 1881. The
dry weather In the early fall prevented
sowing at the usual time, but the continu
ed ln weather has brought tho plant to a
condition which compares favorably witl
that of former year.
Tho Prohibitionist In the state have not
given up the ship, having called a meeting
lorLeavHiiworth on the Oth and lOUi o
January to dieusn the best means of advan

e-IHTially desirous of preventing the repeal
of the prohibition law. The address to th
people says tint the came of prohibition
was not Injured by the rcult of the late
election, but tliat the J grind work will
go right along. It docs legin to look that
these tencraneo fanatics were in the Inter

13th, for tho purpose of considering the
subject of railway "legislation. A large
number of members have already pormlscd
to attend. This movement is Inspired be.
cause of alleged extortionate charges
and unjust discriminations upon the part
of the roll roads of the state. Wc do not

S" am Wood Is In canio in contesting
the election of Jiufce Peters as one of the

constitution on which the contcsram
relies toprove tliat rctcres is not eligible

Provided Mich comicns:ition shall not be

ceive no fees or ienptbites nor hold any
other ollice of profit or trust under the au
thority of the Hate or the United States

iustiec and judge shall be elected. "
An injunction was akecl for by Mr.
Wood restraining the canvassers from
counting or declaring the vote cast for
Judge Prters; but the Judge refuses the
ipplication, claiming that the matter should
couie up before congress, If anywhere.
There is a growing J opposition on the
mrt of leading Independent Republicans
to a party legislative caucus this winter.
The member from DavU county, who is
also the editor of the Junction City Union,
Geo. W. Martin, In his paper says:
A caucus in Kanaas has universally
meant a job, of no consequence to party
prestige, discipline or priucixlc, and of no
material or other service to the state or the
x'ople. We believe it is designed for a job
to-day, or If not it affords opportunity for
job more favorable than would exist In
its absence. We hold that prohibi
tion and anti-prohibition, Plumb or no
Piuiub, and a variety of l&sucs, can take
care of themselves, no matter how the lcg-
slature may be organized, but organization
Is Hie or death tojrailroad legislation gen
erally death In Kansas. This is the point.
The Interference by corporations In the aff
aire of government their departure from
the legitimate duties of common carriers
n manipulating politics and legislation In
their own Interests, and against the inter
est of the common people their Increas-
ng disposition and power to pool and com
bine for the purposes of robbery the ad
Mintages they have taken of the liberality
of legislation, and their defiance of law
and equity which prevail against the Indi.
vldtial citizen and various other features
of their policy, render it certain to our mind
that the next great struggle In this country
will be the people on one hand, and corpo
rate wealth on the other, for the control of
the government. While the i ople have
been liberal and have acknowledged in all
sorts of ways their obligations to railroads
as Invaluable aids In the matter of develop
ment, the selfish and grasping managers
have been sicaring legal immunities and
advantages that almost entirely render the
people powerless to protect themselves.
This is not only the tendency of these cor
poraiious, Dm we uiuiK liny nave gone
.so far, and hedged themselves about so
thoroughly, tliat it is no longer a question
of "encouraging capitil" etc., but it is raj
idly becoming a duty to tike them by the
throat."
n. r. Mayton, of Dodge City, passed
through'the city thisjmorning with a woun
ded horse thief he had winged and captumi
near Wa-Kceny. His prisoner's name was
Win. Jones. He and a fellow named Dick
Edwards stole forly head of horses from
a man named J. S. Devcreaux of lXd
City. (Sheriff Maytou went In pursuit
and alter re-capturing a score of the stolen
horses, overtook the thieves. A lighten
sued In which both thieves were wounded.
but Jones, though not so severely wounded
as Edward ( who was shot through both
legs) was captured owing to the fact that
he attempted to defend Edwards and al

iroy tluer: "Prohibition in Kansas is
too ilcad to skin. Notwithstanding fre
quent repetitions of a favorite but mean
ingless saying to the contrary, a revolution
has gone backward. The advocates of pro
hihltion may bluster, and talk of never
giving up the good light, and tdk of right
prcvailingat last, and all their favorite cant,
but their hobby Is dead. Prohibition lias
not come to stay, notwithstanding all the
weak-kneed piously rolled up their eyesind
confessed that it had. Even their effort to
enforce It will grow weaker, until the
time arrives when it can bo legally buried
out or sight The time will surely come."
