charter allows them to protest against paving residence streeta, and while the board of public works and the city council can order the paving of business streets and the owners of property upon such streets cannot protest. still their wishes are considered. If they don't want the business streets paved, the board and the council do not deem It proper to order them paved. Then again. it ditficult sometimes to determine whether street is business street or a residence street.

except to arouse the property owners to the necessity of filling up the gaps in the pavements upon the residence streets and connecting them with the improved streets in the business sections of the city. "The cost of paving under the installment plan is not burdensome and the improvement of the streets gives greatly increased values to property. On restdence streets, after paving resolutions are adopted. the property owners can select the material with which they want the streets paved. They can have the choice of macadam.

"A trouble that frequently occurs when an attempt is made to pave a long stretch of streets is this: Owing to the fact that the value of the property decreases 218 the distance from the business center of the city increases the property owners cannot agree as to the kind of material with which the streets are to be paved. Those near the business center may want a material of medium price, while those A mite or two distant from the business center may want macadam.

The receivers of the Campbell Commission Company have made a special report of the condition of their trust to Judge Philips, of the federal court. and have secured from him all order of sale that will aid them in rapidly closing up the business of the suspended company.
In the special report it was stated that there was no available assets for the payment running expenses. The fact that the company had suspended was of itself operating to prevent any new business coming to the firm. The business done in the branch house at Omaha was not and never had been and probably never would be on a paying basis, and the same conditions were true of the business at Fort Worth. Tex. The fact that the company's business was in the hands of receivers was certain to operate against the company at this point.
and the outlook for business was indeed very discouraging and it was deemed inexpedient that any further attempts to continue the business he made. It was stated that there was an offer pending for of the four memberships in the exchange, the office fixtures and good will at this point to G. W. Clawson and others for $3.000. The new purchasers had also offered to give the receivers desk room to continue the necessary business and handle all consignments for the firm now under contract and pay half the commission to the receivers.
and in cases where the commission was already paid the shipments were to be handled for nothing. The monthly expense incurred in handling the office as now run, was $3.020, and this could be saved by the sale. The order of sale was granted by Judge Philips, and the receivers were also authorized to dispose of the business and property at Fort Worth and Omaha to the best advantage and close up the business as soon as pos- sible. RAY SENT TO JAIL. He Makes an Effort to Escape From the Court Room.
Walter I. Ray yesterday received a sentence of fifteen days in the county jail from Justice Case for taking two boxes of "Hoffman House" cigars from the West Fifth street factory of G. M. Foley while Mr. Foley was not looking.
The cigars were valued at 89. While Ray sat near Humane Officer Greenman, waiting for his commitment to be made complete, he cast his weary eyes toward the door of the court room and sniffed the fresh air from afar. A few moments and his whole demeanor was changed. He was animated where he had been listless, and was evidently deciding on some desperate chance. Of a sudden he made a leap for the door and would have passed out of it with the alacrity of a spirit but for the prompt detion of the officer and Clerk Geist, of Justice Case's court, who intercepted him before it was too late.
Ray, satistied that he was now secure, sank limpid into chair and did not move until he was told to prepare for the journey to the jail. Goldfam Takes an Appeal. Jacob Goldflam, who has a small tailor shop at 21 East Sixth street. was found guilty of slander by a jury in Justice Spitz' court yesterday and EL verdict was rendered ordering Mr. Goldflam to pay a tine of $100, along with the costs of the prosecution.
He at once filed notice of appeal to the criminal court and gave sufficient bond for his appearance. Goldflam was charged by Mrs. Rosa McGraw, who has a small dressmaking establishment close to his own store, with having spoken ill of her to the neighbors, and saying things about her character that were not true. The evidence bore her out in this statement. She said that the defendant made love to her, and because she refused to accept his offer of marriage and threw a flatiron at his head by way of emphasizing her refusal, that he went forth and slandered her.
The action was primarily brought in Justice Walls' court, but was taken, on a change of venue, to Justice Spitz. It Made a Bad Wound. A. G. Bolen, a laborer employed Missouri Gas Company, drove into his left foot yesterday afternoon working in the street at Forest pendence avenues.

J. FISH CULTURE. Some Reflections by Colonel Crisp Drawn Ont by a Recent Meeting of the Commissioners, Chairman Crisp, in referring to a recent meeting of the board of the Missouri fishertes, in St. Louis, "It WILS very, not the most. Important meeting we have vet held.
Numerous letters received from all quarters and sections of the state and outside of it were all of the most flattering and encouraging nature, as to the progress made in practical piselculture within the last two years, These letters, all of them, more than confirm the position, which the present board took two years ago, when It first entered upon its mission. that, if the special attention of the masses could called to and for a while fastened upon the invaluable 1m- portance of practical piscientture would steadily grow in public favor.

These tine specimens of spawners had been placed in these Benton park lakes for that purpose by the United States fish commissioners at great care and expense.

PLAN TO INTRODUCE A SYSTEM INTO STREET PAVING. FIRST THE BUSINESS CENTER. FROM THIS CENTRAL POINT IMPROVEM NTS SHOULD BE EXTENDED. Viewe of the City Engineer and of Two Well Known Paring Authorities -Sometimes Hampered by Property Owners. The project to systematically pave the streets of the city, as given in the Journal yesterday, meets with general favor among the owners and occupants of business and residence property.
They are of the opinion that It is time to do away with patchwork and piecemeal paving and start the proposed system by paving the streets in the business districts of the city, After that is done the gaps between them and the paved streets in the residence districts should be closed The streets near the city limits can then be paved and the system thereby completed. Under the city charter the board of publie works and the city council have the right to compel the paving of every bustness street in the city, and several of the business streets are not paved because the board and the couneil have not exercised their authority under the charter. The failure of the board of public works and the council to compel the paving of business streets has left a number of them in a very dilapidated condition. Broadway from Third to Twelfth street, and Central from Fifth to Ninth street are two notable examples. While most of the property on Broadway between the streets named is vacant.
it is a business street north of Thirteenth street and should be paved. Upon it are some of the best buildings in the city, among them the Coates House and the Coates opera house. It is certain- ly not a residence street. On Central street are also some of largest and most costly buildings in city, a among the which are the- Exchange building, the largo wholesale house of Burnham, Hanna, Mun- ger and the Builders and Traders' exchange. These streets were paved years ago with cedar and they are in ne.d of immediate repaving.
There are but months left of this year in which paving can be done, and it will be necessary for the board of public works and the council to move rapidly in order to accomplish as much in the way of paving as the public expects of them. In order to ascertain the sentiment of the people of Kansas City in regard to paving according to the proposed system, a representative of the Journal yesterday called upon a number of gentlemen whose experienee qualifies them to speak upon this subject intelligently. Two of them represent rival paving companies, and they have been mingling with the property owners of the city for years. George L. Nellis, soliciting agent of the Diamond Brick and Tile Company, said: have always contended that paving should be done according to a systemthat the business center should be paved first, and, as far as possible, the paving of all streets should be continuous to the limits.
I have always believed that where there are unpaved gaps in the streets they should be closed up. But owing to the fact that property owners on residence streets have the right to remonstrate it has not always been possible to do this. "I am glad the Journal has taken up this matter, and I am convinced that great good will result. Some of the members of the board of public works and of the couneil have not at all times manifested disposition to aid the promoters that of is pubimprovements several of projects, and business streets one reason why the of the city are not much better than rough country roads. They could have these streets paved and that would greatly improve "It is time that everyone in Kansas City, the business center of the city.
whether a public official or a private citzen, should realize that it cannot stand still. It must either go forward or retrograde. It is now the leading city of the Missouri valley and its motto should be "Property owners cannot lelay, the paying of business streets by remonstrances. They are allowed by the charter twenty days after the passage of a paving ordinance in which to select the material with which they want the street paved. There must be at least two kinds of material named in the ordinance.
As a matter of fact, the board of public works and the council generally put in from three to five kinds. On residence streets the prophave thirty days in which to erty owners remonstrate after the passage of a paving resolution. charter imposes no hardship upon property owners in the matter for of vitrified paving. won't cost more than $60 brick and $120 for asphalt to pave a twenty-five foot lot, and the property owners can pay in four annual installments. That would be only $1.25 per month for vitritied brick and $2.50 per month for asphalt during the four years, Any property owner who won't pay $1.25 or $2.50 per month to have the street in 1 front of his property paved ought to move onto a farm.
He certainly does not appreciate the benefits of city life. "There is another matter that I want to going speak east, you will find that there is not of. After leaving Troost avenue, a single north and south street that is paved its entire length, or the greater part of its Hugh J. McGowan, manager of the Barber Asphalt Paving Journal's project is a grand one, and can be carried out. I speak from experience.
The business part of the elty should first be and then the streets leading to the limits should be paved. Where there are paved, gaps they should be closed Barber up. When I took the agency for the company 1 started in the business center of the city and began paving out. The greatest trouble I have experienced has been that outside of the business center, many property owners have been disposed to remonstrate. But in several instances when convinced that in remonstrating they were doing themselves an injury, they have signed petitions for paving, and are glad now that they did.
"While in the residence districts property owners have the right to remonstrate, the board of public works and the council have the right to order the streets in the business districts of the city paved. When say districts, I mean the large wholesale and manufacturing district in the West bottoms, as well as the retail district in the center of the city. After the streets in these districts are all paved it will not be difficult to close up the gaps between the streets therein and the paved streets in the residence, districts. "This is a good time to agitate this projeet, and the Journal hold has shown its usual enterprise in taking of it. The Journal can always be depended upon to look after the interests of Kansas City, and whenever it does anything it does it well.
We will soon have possession of the water works plant, notwithstanding the long drawn out litigation. We are inaugurating a magniticent system of parks boulevards, and, in fact, doing a number of things to convince the outside world that Kansas City is the queen bee of the addition Missouri valley. What we want in to all these things is a well paved city. I don't say this simply because I am in the paving business. My other company is competing with several paving companies, and they will get business as well as it.
My company has no reason to complain under the present system, as it is doing a good deal of paving. But I do say it be. cause I am a. resident of Kansas City and a hold property its own, owner but to forge to the front and here. I want it to not only leave all its would-be rivals far behind.
"To show that I have been working out the Journal's system I will tell about some of the paving that I have done. The first street I took hold of was Ninth, from Delaware to Broadway. Then paved Main, from Third to Twelfth; then Walnut, from Fifth to Ninth; Grand avenue, from Ninth to Twentieth: Eleventh, from Main to Troost. Since that time it has been my object to extend the pavements raps, to close them up if I could induce systematically, and when found unpaved the property owners to co-operate with me. "Here is a good example of the value of paving: Our company paved Walnut street, from Twelfth to Nineteenth, three years ago.
Soon afterward most of the vehicles left Grand avenue and went to Walnut street, owing to the fact that it was smooth and Grand avenue was rough and full of ruts. The owners of property ion Grand avenue were not long in coming to the conelusion that business was being diverted from that thoroughfare, and they petitioned the board of public works and the council to pave it. It was paved and it is to-day a better street than ever before, and it will not be long until it will be one of the best business streets in the city, "There is growing sentiment among AN EARLY HEARING GIVEN. WATER WORKS CASE WILL BE HEARD ON THE APPEAL AUGUST 26. The United States Court of Appeals Will Take the Matter Up at 114 Sitting In St.
Lonis- -Twenty-five. ErTors Alleged. The of the papers in the water works controversy that were filed and used In the proceedings at Burlington, Inst week were received at the office of the clerk of the federal court vesterday morning. They include the copy of the decree and order, the original copies of the pleadings, the application for the supersedeas the supersedeas bond, the citation the city to appear at St. Louts on the 26th of August to show cause why the and decree should be set not aside.
The assignment of the errors by the charged attorneys of the water works against the decision of Justice Brewer also accompanied the papers. There twenty-five errors assigned in the company's pleading. It is claimed the supplemental decree was erroneous, that the court was without the to power make a decree, when it recorded subrogation and one of the parties in terest was not the that the court, thus entered la not responsive to of any the the Inpleadings in case, and consistent with the provisions of the orbitInal It alleges the court erred that the nor its water company bondholders had any interest the disposition the appelant's bonds, that the court had authority to enforce the upon own motion. withont the request of the company. and spite of its disclaimer, It that for the was error court to express opinion and the the validity city's that bonds the are clearly void and Illegal and the of the provision federal statute legislation Impairing contracts applicable to the case, and cannot be invoked: that it was error in the court to require holders water works bonds to transter them for the benettt of parties with whom they have no relations and in a for In it way called all contracte: that was error that the company should not be allowed cancellation its bonds when that was error to require the company sell its plant to unnamed prospective bondholders: that the decree modifies decree of November, 1891.
materially, concerning payment from the elty: this done over its protests amounts to an attempt to take property without due process of law. It was error in the court to attempt to modify decree after the close of the term when entered: it was error to adjudge a subrogation by operation of law contrary to principles of equity jurisprudence: it was error to sanction effort of the eity to evoke and circumvent provisions of section 10, article xil. of Migsouri constitution: it was error to hold that city should enter into a convention for a abrogation based on an issue of bonds 111 violation of its constitutional powers; it was error to prove the subrogation that amounted to an equitable mortgage on water works plant, when of law. to make acquired without authority such mortgage. It is alleged that solicitors for the city were without authority by the charter to secure such subrogation.
Further. it is charged 8.9 error that the court. should hold that it could confer on the city authority to make an agreement prohibited by the state constitution, and that the petition of the city stated no facts to warrant the court in making such decree, and was of such a nature that the matter could not properly be brought before the court by petition, and that material facts stated in petition were denied under oath and not proven by evidence. Mr. Justice Brewer's action in hastening the hearing of the appeal will change the plans of the city attorneys in the matter of applying for a receiver.
The hearing will be over with and the case will doubtless be in Mr. Justice Brewer's hands again by the time the receiver could be appointed. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. They Will Be Held in the Various Wards To-morrow Evening and a Lively Fight Is Expected. The Democratic county convention to select thirty-one delegates to represent the county at the Pertle Springs silver convention will be held at Turner hall on Saturday at 9 o'clock.
The primaries to select the delegates to the county convention are to be held in the city to-morrow evening. and in the country precincts to-morrow afternoon. The reports that are coming in from the country districts are to the effect that there is a very strong currelit of feeling in the country for silver, and that there will be large delegations to represent every precinct in the county at the convention. It is the purpose of the leaders and silver workers to see that no one is allowed to go to Pertle Springs with delegates' credentials who is not an enthusiastic and sound silver man. They do not propose to take any chances in the matter, the stalwart element is to control.
In the city the primaries will be held at. 8 o'clock p. m. The polling places, number of delegates and chairmen are as follows: First ward-1322 St. Louis avenue: Pat Shepherd, chairman: twelve delegates.
Second ward- hotel; Henry Brown, chairman: ten delegates. Third ward-907 Baltimore avenue: Joe Brooks, chairman: twenty-three delegates. Pourth ward-1405 Penn street: James Collins, chairman: eighteen delegates. Fifth ward- 9 engine house: W. E.

They Are Doing More Than They Have Done Since Boom Days. B. M. Soper has been awarded the contract for the barns and other structures to be built by the Standard Oil Company at Twentieth and Harrison streets, the site of its new plant. The amount of the contract is $6,500.
William Harmon, who was awarded the contract for the Altman building, at Eleventh and Walnut streets, took out a permit for its erection yesterday. The number of contracts being let every week or so is taken as a very encouraging sign. Last year at this time contractors Were sitting about idly with nothing to do beyond superintending minor repairs. This year shows a much better state of affairs. Good contracts are being let every few weeks, and competition is becoming more brisk than it has been for several years.
Last week, for instance, Mr. Harmon was the successful competitor for the contract for the Altman building by the harrow margin of S9. While the business might be much better, it shows a steady improvement, and at present many of the best contractors in the city are engaged on work of one kind or another. a condition of things which has not existed since the For Results of Excesses Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate.

W. H. Loomas, a Coal Operator, Says the Outlook Is Bright. Mr. W.
H. Loomis, the coal operator of Beveir, was at Savoy yesterday. He says he anticipates a good business during the coming winter. There are about 1,000 miners now at work at Bevier in the different mines. Wages were not cut there last year and the best of feeling exists between the men employed and the operaThe men want the work and feel satistied with the wages, while operators are anxious to furnish all the work possible to the men.
Mr. Loomis says the railroads are using only about half as much coal as usual, but in moving the big crops now growing he expects to have the demand from them for coal to resume its normal amount.

Directly in the rear the Kellerman home, but about seventy feet further down the hillside, live Frank Schrmal, Kellerman's son-in-law, and Joe Neighbor, a cousin of Wexeldorf. The numbers of the last two residences ate 2021 and 2023 Allen avenue. So much for the dramatis personae.
The fight. began several months ago, when Wexeldorf made application for a renewal of his saloon license. Kellerman fought the application and by proving that Wexeldorf's place was A resort for objectionable characters, defeated the application. This caused an open turo between the brothers-in-law. and Wexeldort began to fight back.
His first move was to enlist his cousin. loo Neighbor, and Kellerman's son-in-law. Prank Schrmal, among his sympathizers. Then he began a search for a point of attack. He soon found one.
'The Kellerman household numbered among its possessions one cow. This cow was the pride of Frau Kellerman's heart. and had lived in the back lot of the Kellermans' domains so long that she was able to browse on the moss and weeds that grow so luxuriantly on the steep bluffs. without having a pair of stilts on the down hill legs, to keep her from rolling into the railroad yards below. Her agility was her best quality.
Wexeldorf knew of the Kellermans' fondnes: for the animal, and he determined that she should be the mute and unsuspecting instrument through which he would se cure revenge for the loss of the license. Ho induced Schrami and Neighbor to to the board of health that the complain cow was a nuisance. aS whenever it rained, the water. washed through the cow pen and then down into the back yards of the Allen avenue residences. polluting a spring which gave forth the only drinking water in the vicinity.
The board of health, through Office Russell, investigated the matter and ordered the cow moved, but added that there were several other things that should be done away with also.

no one understood what she was saying. An obliging clerk, who knew that Mrs. Kellerman was speaking German, showed her into the recorder of voters' office, where Henry Hoffman stays. Henry can speak German with anyone, and it did not take him long to discover what Mrs. Kellerman wanted.
He told her that the man wanted to see was in the basem*nt, but advised her to fortify herself with an Interpreter before she called upon him. Mrs. Kellerman acted upon the advice, and left the hall. At 1:30 o'clock she returned, bringing with her Mrs. Burkmeyer, a neighbor, who speaks both English and German.
The women went into the basem*nt. and tried the city physician's otlice. From there they were sent to the health department. and cornered Dr. Waring.
Then, for about ten minutes the air was heavy with German and English. No satisfaction was secured from Dr. Waring. however, and the women left in a bad humor, threatening to gO to the chief of police. They did go.
and after waiting an hour, managed to Secure 11 audience, and were told that the police department had absolutely nothing to do with the matter.
