Yesterday afternoon as one of these metropolitan scribes were per ambulating through the various ave nues that lead to this "future great" he was horribly surprised at stumbling onto the headless trunk of a dead body near the court house. The attention of the county officials was called to the matter but one and all failed to recognize the same, but thought that it was a Mr. K. Ittie, a runner, who had been seen in that vicinity before. The affair created a sensation, especially during the warm weather of the last day or two but it was thought that the affair would be placed in the cat-a-gory of a sudden death at the hands of some individual who had become tired of the back yard howls of the feline race and had dispatched his catship to the happy hunting grounds. ."lethodUt JIb.

You glide if you have a glider and hop if you have a hopper. Your western waltzer is chivalric or nothing. Blaine's letter to the American people of Monday withdrawing his name from the list of presidential aspirants on the republican ticket marks on era of sound judgemint in his career. He well knew that he could not unite the factions in his own party and rather than injure their coming success this fall has de cided to keep aloof. This one thing will make him a greater man than ever in the eyes of his countrymen. No one questions his ability to fill the office, but his inability to unite the party is sufficent reason why he should stay out of the fight. This he has observed. Inarale Viitor. J. C. Holcomb, W.

Last night at the Fireman's ball, occurred a little shooting scrape that might have been the cause of sending several of our citizens to kingdom come. It seems that Will Barber while under the influence of too much 'tangle foot" wanted to gain admis sion to the hall, and did so, but on behaving rather unbecoming was un ceremoniously bounced by two of the firemen. Bill then maandered down street, procured a revolver, ctme back, blazed away, and a car tridge went zipping by John Tomlin son's ear, in too close proximity for comfort, and without waiting to see the result the trigger was again press ed and a second time the bullet went on its deadly mission, but befere do ing any damage its course was arras ted by the door where it embedded itself, and then he west away.

Th Senate Not in Seaelon A Bill Pawed For Bight of 'Way Through ' The Indian Territory Inefficient Western Mail Service-Perkins' Resolution Adopted. Cox, of tie w York, Wipes the Floor With Springer, of Illinois, Over the Mb Kay Bill. WASHrjfGTOJf. Feb. 1L When the House met yesterday, Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, asked unanimous consent to proceed to the immediate consideration of the bill grant ing right of way through the Indian Terri tory to the Choctaw Coal & Railroad Com pany. Mr. Allen proceeded to explain the provisions of the bill, first stating that the Committee on Indian Affairs believed that the construction of railroads in the Indian Territory should be encouraged for the reason that they promote the civilization of the Indians, served the public convenience and created no obstruction. The previous question was then ordered and the bill was passed. Mr. Anderson, of Illinois, from the Post office Committee, reported favorably Mr. Perkins' resolution directing the Postmaster-General to inquire into the cause and foundation for the grievances complained of in a Kansas newspaper regarding the Western mail service, and also to inform the House whether the almost universal complaint prevailing in the West against the present unsatisfactory mail service re sulted from the employment of inexperi enced and incapable employes or insuffi cient appropriations. The committee re ported an amendment, adding to the resolution the following: "And also that the Postmaster-General be directed to fur ther inquire and inform the House what, if any, improvements and extensions bave been made in the mail service of the West during tne last two years." Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, said he did not cars to discuss the merits of the resolu tions. He would say, however, that the Pest-office Department, the committee and the Democratic side of the House courted the fullest investigation of the matter, and he was confident that investigation would show that the postal service was as efficient, if not more so, than at any time in its his tory. Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, wanted all of the facts laid before the House. If the bad service was the fault of the House in consequenca of inadequate appropriations he desired to know it, and if it was the fault of the Administration that should be made known. The resolution had been ap proved January 23 and under the rules should bave been reported within a week. In that particular the Post-office Commit tee was almost as unsatisfactory as the mail service. The resolution was not po litical and the complaints came from Dem ocrats and Republicans alike. When the answer came he would undertake to show that they were well founded. The resolution wa finally adopted after the insertion of an mendment offered by Mr. Holtnaa inserting the words '-alleged" before "complaint.'' Mr. Culberson, of Texas, from the Ju diciary Committee, reported favorably a bill to create an arbitration board to settle the differences between the United States and Texas, and Mr. Jones, of Alabama, re ported favorably from the Committee on Rivers and Harbors the resolution calling en the Secretary of War for information relative to the alleged obstructions of the Wabash river by a bridge of the Louisvillo & Evansville Railroad Company. A number of reports upo-i private bills were presented, and the House began the consideration of bills oa tho private cal endar. Upon reaching, ia Committca of the Whole, the bill fortherel.cf of Nathaniel McKay and the executors of Donald McKay, and after Mr. Springer of Illinois had read long extracts from th j report and antagonized the bill, Mr. Cox of New Yoik rose and said that never since he had been in Con gress had he heard a more mccherent, dis jointed, ramshackle speech than had just been delivered. It had all been drawn from the report of the committee, pieces being taken out wherever they suited tho purpose, so as not to afford a reasonable opportunity to the House to judge of the case. Mr. Springer declared that he had fairly presented the case, and Mr. Cox replied that he had taken very good care when stating that the bill had been vetoed not to state the reasons for the veo, so that tho cu3e could see how the President's ob jection had been met, aad now ween it was suggested that tne measure mignt D2 maue acceptable to the President, the gentleman (Springer) was here thinking with his heels and dancing with his head, prevent ing a conclusion. The bill was just ia tho line of the views which the gentleman from Illinois bad so eloquently aad for so many years urged upon the House courts for the adjudicat.on of private claims yet when such a bill cams up the gentleman was found trying to hrea'i it down in de tails. The gentlcm in knew himself, if he was a lawyer he had heard it said he was a lawyer laughter that in all matters connected with conscience a receipt could always be explained by evidence, and that the man would be an unconscionable scoun drel who would take advantage ota receipt given in aa emergency or under duress. What was a3kcd was that the case be sent into the courts so that it could be ascer tained whether or not the Government owed these claimants. Mr. Springer said that the gentleman from New York had been very felicitous in his remarks and nobody had enjoyed them more than he had. Laughter. He would willingly give every Friday during the Balance of the session to hear the gen tleman's melodious voice. But this was some serious business to be done. He declared that this was not a case such as he had contemplated referring to tho court of claims, for this bill sought to empower the court to find a judgment. Tho gentleman bad iatlmated that he (Springer) was probably a lawyer, but he did not know whether be meant that or not. A voice broke in: 4aO no, it was a Joke. Lujrhterl. Mr.8prmger then said that it was true be bad sot practiced law for fourteen years, bat that tie gentleman from New York XCez) bad also been absent from the bar a aetablethae. Mr. Lanhaw, of Texas, interrupted to call for the regular order, whereupon Mr. Springer asked if anybody lathe haUceold tall bow much aaoaey those clsiaaaats Iddessaad wbea they west into ooari. Mr. BBtterworth answered, "All that ls dao," sad Mr. 8priager asked if any other bw Bared to sjrro the bet bis fsesUoa bo declared It was Brspesed to a ssattor iavsttiac tho lIltniiiallllliMIt - - tsosBtedtoJekeaboat it. Ho did aet be lieve that tho rioisMsts wore eatMoat the benefits proposed to be conferred, and charged that the bill was more in the in terest of tho lobby than of the actual claimants. Mr. Stone, of Kentucky, earnestly ad vocated the bill, and resenting Mr. Spring er's remark about the lobby, said that "if you to find a man who might be influenced, you must hunt up tho man who thinks that every one else can be influenced." The gentleman's remarks were an imputation against the whole House and should not be allowed. The committee decided to report the bill favorably to the House and rose, and the two bills on the private calendar which had been favorably reported from the Commit tee of the Whole were then taken up. The first for the relief ot C. M. Bnggs.de ceased, was passed with little objection. Ia the case of the second, however that for relief of Nathaniel McKay and the executors of Donald McKay Mr. Spring er interposed a vigorous resist ance, and although tho House refused to second his demand for ayes and noes, he succeeded in preventing it passing by de manding the reading of the engrossed bill. The House then passed the Senate bill authorizing the appointment of Andrew D. White as register of the Smithsonian In stitute, and adjourned until Monday, leav ing the McKay bill as unfinished business to come up next Friday morning. Car thieves. Officers Storm a Ilooae at Olathe, Kaa., and Arret Two Men. Olathe, Kan., Feb. II. Detective O. J. Freligh, accompanied by City Marshal Easdale and Sheriff Townlcy, made a raid yesterday afternoon on a house, to which they had trac-d three car thieves, and in which they knew stolen goods to be con cealed. For several weeks tho Southern Kansas railroad authorities have bad goods taken from cars ia transit from Kansas City to this place and points farther west. They traced some of them to this place, and detailed Freligh to work up the case. This he succeeded in doing, in connection with Marshal Easdale, after be ing here about a week, and the raid yes terday was the result, The oncers had to break into the house, where they were met by four women and three men, armed with clubs, knives, razors, an axe and a revolver. The parties were all colored, and the officers hal a severe struggle, and had to use their clubs freely. One of the men, however, jumped through a window and succeeded in getting away. They fought like tigers, the women using knives. The officers escaped bodily harm except some scratches and torn clothes. One woman made a pass at Marshal Easdale' s throat with a razor, and would have probably ended his career were it not for a blow on the arm by one of bis companions. Two men, Green Johnson aal Hugh McGinnis, were captured and locked up. The women were not arrested, as it was thought best to leave them outside as bait for the rest of the gang. Upon searching the house sev eral cases of boots and shoes, cloth and other goods were found and identified. Sabine PaM Koad. Kansas Citv. Mo., Feb. 11. A meeting of the stockholders of tho K. C & S.
