Judge Beed lteads the Elot Act -Bill Campbell Wants Charley Xnlenv to Hire a Hall An Ineffectual Attempt to Quash the Jury Colonel Amidon Tells Judge Campbell to Shut His Moutli and Nearly Precipitates a Klot The Knnkle Jury Stands Six to Six A Juror Never Ban After a Jack Babbit. The district court yesterday "was a ouccession of sensations following: one quick upon another. There were legal combats anl intimations of personal encounters, and at times thsre were ir-dications of a storm that mignr ciJ no one knew where.

Mr. Conley and the assitant atterney general engaged in a -war of which caused Judge Reed -to storm the castle and read the riot act to the disputants. He declared in language most emphatic to the effect that he was running that court as judge, and if cny of -the attorneys had a personal grievance against him he could he seen at almost any time at the Carey. He said the community was disturbed by passion and strife, and that he did not give three straws for either party to the conflict. He was there to do his duty as prescribed by the constitution and the laws, and he did not intend that either party to this stiife or even his own notions as to the utility of any law should interfere with his plain duty.

The Kunkle jury was the first object of interesr yesterday. It had retired to the jury room at 5 p. the previous day, and when court convened at 8 a. m. yesterday the jury was still out, and a rumor was in circulation that the jurors stood ten for acquital and two for conviction.

Nobody knew how the rumor originated and while Deputy Sheriff McCol-lister declared that he did not know anything about it, the rumor was generally accepted as giving the true situation. All of the attorneys except the assistant attorney general seemed to be satisfied with the situation, and disgust was perched upon the faces of the Law and Order league and one by one they soon disappeared from the court room except the secretary of that organization, who seems to be there for a. purpose. The Jack Davidson liquor case was set for hearing in the morning and 'that modest gentleman was there with his counsel. Messrs.

Amidon and Conley, promptly at the opening of court. Kos Harris took occasion of the lull in the proceedings while the attorneys were holdings a consultation to fire a broad side into the assistant attorney general on the Schnitzler injunction case, which occupied the attention of the court for about an hour and a half. He claimed that -the defendant had filed his answer denying all the allegations and that now the assistant attorney general ought to be made to prove his case or the injunction ought to be dissolved. He claimed that it was a great -hardship to lock up a business house on the mere information of the assistant atttorney general. The matter was argued at considerable length, and numerous statutes and court decisions were read and commented upon.

In the course of his argument Mr. Campbell took occasion to inform the -court that this injunction was not a hardship on Schnitzler because his was not in fact locked up. He said the injunction was merely to prevent him from violating the law. "The court had simply laid its hands on Mr. Schnitzler, and said to him, You may do business, but you must ceas violating the law in that building.

"Now that is not a hardship unless preventing him from violating the law is a hardship, and there is nothing in that either because this house on which the injunction was served is on Market street and Schnitzler has moved right across the street into another house, and is continuing his business of selling liquor." Judge Heed took the matter under advisement which gave the assistant attorney general an opportunity to cool off. He became angry during the discussion and when voices were heard in the district clerk's office, he suggested that Deputy Clerk Charlie Luluing hire a hall in which to deliver anti-law and order speeches. "Why don't you get out an injunction?" asked Mr. Karris. "The people will get out an injunction when they get another whack at him.

I am opposed to having the district clerk's office used for a meeting for men who are opposed to the enforcement of law," answered Mr Campbell, indignantly. Prank Dean suggested that Bill Campbell would enjoin the attorneys from defending the joinllst if he could do so. Deputy Sheriff Johnson closed the door leading into the district clerks office, and Mr. X.uling came in and btood by the side of the sheriff's desk and flashed vengence from his eyes upon the assistant attorney gen-oral, but not another word was ut-Itered. Then after they were ready to call a jury in the Jack Davidson case Mr.

Amidon and Conley accused the assistant attorney general of placing names on the information after it had been filed. Then that matter had to be tried and Deputy Charles H. Iulinsr was sworn and he -stated that there were some names added. Mr. Campbell then put himself on the stand and stated that the court had given him leave to amend the information, and he proceeded to argue the case while in the witness chair, to which Mr.

Amidon objected, and told him to shut his mouth. This peremptoiy command to shut his mouth angered tmj assistant attorney general, and he said in a loud voice: "I will not do it: I will talk when I please," and that was what caused Judge Keed to turn himself loose as above stated. There was another most ludicrous ecene in -the proceedings. Messrs. Amidon and Conley entered a motion against the array of the jury in the Davidson case, on the grounds that it iiad not been legally drawn.

Mr. Campbell concluded that he did not have much use for this jury anyhow, and he said he would concede "the motion. This did not -suit Messrs. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. lift if PI MOST PERFECT MADE.

This was a boomerang that knocked the attorney general cleaf off his feet, but he recovered and entered a motion to quash the jury for the same reasons as were urged by the defens. This necessitated a trial and a summons -was issued for County Clerk Car-Vin to bring-his jury records into court, but the sheriff reported that they were unable to find Mr. Carvin. This necessitated a "long delay, the county cleark was finally fished out from a shady nook over on Market street. He showed that while the judge has issued his orders for the drawing of twelve jurors that the order was misplaced and twenty-four jurors were drawn.

The assistant attorney general raised the point that the sheriff had received no notice, but after Deputies Burrows and Smith and "Undersheriff Hays had been put on the stand, Judge Reed decided that the sheriff knew of the drawing and that was sufficient This ruling pleased Messrs. Amidon and Conley, because they had objected to the jury themselves and when Mr. Campbell had concluded to let them go they resisted the motion and defeated Judge Reed here ordered them to proceed with the trial "but it was well in the afternoon and the Kunkle jury still being out there were only nine jurymen available and they were called Into the box and a special venire was ordered. "When the nine jurors were seated in the box Mr. Campbell opened fire on them and dropped them out one by one until only two were left in the box.

Seme were opposed to this effort to enforce the lav and some thought the penalty was a little severe. The two jurors remaining in the box were Robert Armour of Greeley township and Samuel Pearson of Morton. "Pearson was said to be a prohibitionist and so Mr. Campbel let him alone and went back and took another turn at Armour. "Did I understand you to say that you were opposed to this effort to enforce the prohibitory law?" asked the assistant attorney general.

"I expect you did for that is what I said." "Is your feeling against the effort to enforce the law of such intensity that you could not give the state a fair trial?" "No, I don't know that it is. I should try to render a verdict according to the law and the evidence." "Then why are you opposed to the enforcement of law?" "Because it is a useless expense to no purpose." "Then you are opposed to the enforcement of the law because you think it cannot be enforced. Is that it?" "Yes, I never believe in running after a jack rabbit when I know before hand that I cannot catch him." "But still you think you could render a verdict according to the evidence and the law?" "That is what I should try to do." Then it was 5 o'clcok and Judge Reed said the special venire had not been summoned and he would adjourn court until 0 o'clock this morning. He leaned forward in his big chair and put the palms of his two hands together and pointed his two thumbs toward his chin and said: "Gentlemen of the jury, it is my duty to give you some instructions, and I feel like making you a speech. You are the only two left but you may be further examined in the morning in regard to your qualifications as jurors.

"In the meantime do not talk about this case nor allow anybody else talk to you about it. Stay as closely together as you can and don't get lost and be here at 3 a. m. tomorrow." Mr. Eckstein here proposed that he would like some information from the Kunkle jury, as they had now been out twenty-four hours.

Judge Reed said if the counsel for both sides agreed he would call the Jury in. Mr. Campbell said he was willing but he guessed the other side knew how they stood but Mr. Eckstein declared that he had no information on the subject. Deputy Sheriff McCalister went to the jury room and twelve very tired and worn men filed in and filled the jury chairs.

Foreman John Martin carried a number of sheets of paper in his hands and when they were seated Judge Reed asked "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" "We have not. your honor," answered Foreman John Martin. The assistant attorney general agreed that the question might be asked wheth er there was any prospect of an agreement and how the jury stood. Foreman Martin answered that there was no prospect of an agreement and that they had stood 6 to 6 ever snice going out. Judge Reed then told them that he would relive them and if he had known that they would be in this soon that he would not have ordered a special venire and charged them to be on hand for duty again this morning.

Foreman Martin told a reporter for the Eagle that the jurors had agreed before they left the room that they would not tell who voted for convict'on and who for acquittal, as they thought that the proper thing to do. One of the jurors, however, told the reporter that the rock on which they were wrecked was a failure to agree as to whether Kunkle had been shown by by the testimony to be connected with joint in the room back of his restaurant. The actions of the jury seemed to please the crowd and a great many citizens took an opportunity to shake with them and even the officers did not seem displeased. Chief Masses said: is not a more German than Albert Kunkle in the state of Kansas. He probabry knows that it is against the law to sell beer, but he can no more understand that it is wrong within itself than you can understand that there is harm in selling milk." It was the talk last night that the fight in the Jack Davidson case will be for blood and Amidon Conies, counsel for Davidson, were reported to have said that they did not ask ans quarter of the assistant attornes general but that they were going to fight for their side of the case.

The Kunkle case lasted five davs and it Is believed that the Davidson case will require a much longer time. T11EY WAXT GOOD WITMISSES. Some Prominent Ijixr and Order I'copl fcubiHvnaed in a r.iqnor Cae. was a good deal of interei manifested about the district clerk's office last evening when was ascertained that subpoenas had been issued for some prominent law and order peo ple by the defense in the Jack David- There are a large number among which are Mr. and Mrs.

David Wint Mr. and Mrs. Don S. Colt. Mr.

end Mrs! H. Lewis, 2ilr. and Mrs. Hiram a-boden, Mr. and Mrs.

J. D. McEwen, Mr. and Mrs. E.

L. McClure and others. The mystery that nobody seemed to be able to explain was whs these people were subpoenaed. Some suggested ihsx Jack Davidson wanted to prove his reputation them but one man with a knowing wink iniinateS that he knew a thing or two. He said that there were property holders who had been injured these prosecutions and that these people had been subpoenaed for the purpose of putting thent on the stand in this case in the hope of getting some information in regard to the law and order league.

He said this information would be used in a damage suit and a prosecution for consplracs. This idea was laughed at but the knowing individual onls remarked: "Wait and see." DOLD TO BURN CORN THAT WILL BE TONE IF IT GETS DOWN TO TWELVE'CENTS. It Is Figured Out that the Crop will be so Immense that the Grain will be Cheaper to Barn than Coal, as Freight Charges can be Saved General Opinion Over the State is that it will Not be Practicable in Making Steam Some Testimony to that Effect Hisptrtches Telling of Experiments In Seeral Kansas Towns. If corn gets rown to 12 cents per bushel in Wichita Jacob Dold and sons of this cits will use corn for fuel instead of coal. That is the latest and it comes bs the was of Chicago.

This is the first instance on record where a large steam user ever proposed to use corn for this purpose. The Chicago Tribune was apprised of Mr. Dold's idea and yesterday published a scare-head article on the subject with several dispatches from ajl over Kansas on the matter. Most of these Kansas dispatches say that it is impracticable to burn corn for making steam and that it will not be used for that purpose at all. The Chicago paper gives the following on the idea: On a 2.500,000.000 bushel crop the west will have corn to burn.

According to a Kansas Cits dispatch a packing-house compans has alreads issued orders to its "Wichita house to begin the use of corn for fuel so soon as it can be bought for 12 cents a bushel. On a basis of Mas price, with allowance for freight and for discont from contract price for off grades corn on the western farm is not worth much over 10 cents a bushel. Last year the unusual and abnormal feature in the gram situation was the feeding of wheat to farm animals. Little attention was paid to it at first, eScept as an experiment, but in the aggregate it amounted to millions of bushels, and was reflected in Teduced stocks in farmers hands. Burning of com for fuel is less of a novelts than feeding of wheat to hogs, as it has been general enough on several vcasions to attract a grtat deal of attention.

Both are direct results of overproduction. In wheat a series of Scars of plents followed the bumper crop of 1891, which was figured bs the government at nearls 612,000.000 bushels. The Washington authorities placed the 1S94 w.heat crop at 460,000,000 bushels, and the trade was almost unanimous in the claim that the yield was underestimated. All records were broken in the decline, which was onl checked earls this year with cash -wheat below 50 cents. The conditions in wheat which made stock-feeding practicable are all present in corn in an aggravated form to make its use as fuel in many sections feasible.

The 1S95 orop of corn is prac-ticalls made, and without doubt it will be a record breaker. Even the late corn is well out of the way of frost damage and all the corn in the big surplus states is matured. A month ago the government placed the condition of corn at 102.5 points, or 2' points above par. Tuesday it reduced the condition to 9S.4 points on account of damage done in some quarters bs drought, an injurs possibly more than offset bs advanced maturits' in other sections. It is figured that the total ield of corn this s'ear will be 2,325,000,000 bushels.

It will mot 'be far from double the quantits of corn produced last sear, and far in excess of the of corn produced on ans of the star crops in the history of the trade. The Washington estimates on the corn crops of 1S92, 1893 and 1S91 were 1.628,000,000 bushels, bushels, and 1,213,000.000 bushels re-spectivels, three short crops in succession following a full crop of over 2.000,-000,000 bushels in 1S91. FIGURES ON THE CROP. The depression on the 1S91 crop was by no means so sharp as on the 1889 ciop of equal size. The 1S91 crop, according to "Washington estimates, represented something like SS36.000.000.

while the 1SS9 crop onls represented "What the 1S95 crop will represent in mones is the question of interest just now. Prices have become demoralized simpls on anticipation. December corn touched 274 cents last week. In 1S73 same delivers sold at 27 cents and on the memorable 1SS9 crop the low price of last week was just matched. The bottom quotations for Mas corn on the 1S39 crop was higher than the price nt whioh it sold last week.

All the "recent low figures were again discounted s'esterdas when December corn sold down to 27 cents and Mas touched 2ST4 cents. It does not seem probable that the bumper 1S95 corn crop will yield the farmers much more than the famine crop of 1S94. The short crop of 1SS9 was poured out upon consumers during the cold season at a rate which fairls smoothered busing and made even some of the speculative bears ashamed to bid the prices which holders were onls too glad to accept. The pressure was so great to dispose of the cereal 'that corn was used as furl in mans parts of the west. Farmers offered the grain at countrs points in far greater quantities than the railway could carrs away, and then, after having depressed prices bs the weight of their offerings, clamored for lower freight rates on which to move the rest of the crop.

On the basis of the present prices corn will be cheaper than coal for fuel during this fall and winter in states west of the Mississippi river. It is said that experiments have shown that a ton of drs corn will go further in producing steam than a ton of coal. PRICES FOR CORN AND COAL. Anthracite coal laid down in Kansis Cits even at reduced freight rates costs $6 a ton in car lots. At points in the interior of Kansas, Nebraska and Western Iowa it costs all the was from 57 to $9 a ton.

At thoso same points com is worth onls from 52 50 to a ton on the cob. Iowa-soft coal can be delivered in Central Nebraska at about $3.50 a ton and Illinois coal at $4. In Iowa native bituminous coal costs over $2 a ton. The oil in -the corn makes It especially adapted for hot fires. It is clean to handle and almost smokeless.

A prominent operator on the board of trade yesterday offered to forfeit 510.00) if he could not furnish the "Alles road with corn for fuel at a less cost than that of the coal suppls. "I base my calculations." said the trader, experiments I made on a ranch near Keanres, Neb. in 155. when corn was plentiful. A neighbor offered me com at 16 cents a bushel.

I took it and asked him. what he was to do with the proceeds. He said he was going to Keamey to buy coal with it. He bough: the coal at S3 50 a ton and hauled it farty miles. My winter quarters were of about the same capaciy as his.

I barbed corn which cost me IS cents a bushel, or S4 per ton, saved the -hauling of ooal. got better results in heat, and usd three tons less of the corn than my neighbor did of coal during four months. No one knows how admirably adapted corn is to fuel till the experiment has i been tried. It makes a quick, hot fire, is clean to handle, and almost smokeless, i BURN HSRE AT A PROFIT.

By having it shipped on the cob I could save 2 to 3 cents a bushel, of S3 a ton. Bs actual test it "has been found that a ton of corn will yield 25 per cent a ton more iheat than the same amount of coal. With the rice of coal 54.25 per ton in car lots in Chicago it will be seen that corn would be the cheaper fuel. If it is found practicable to use the corn here, what is to be said of territory west of the Mississippi river, with the freight on coal 53.20 from the river?" Kearnes, Sept. 13.

The question of the feasibility of using corn for fuel has never been fully tested in western Nebraska. It has never been used extensiveus. even when cheap, except by farmers. The general feeling is that it does not pay at all to burn corn and that it is better to sell at market price or hold for an advance inan to use it for fuel. Hutchinson.

Sept. 13. In repls to the question: "Is the use of corn for fuel feasible?" put to a half dozen of the posted in this cty. the invariable answer has been "No." No corn is being used as ful in this countrs now, nor has it ever been used to ans extent. James McKInstrs.

one of the old earls settlers here and a man thoroughly posted says there has never been ans regular use of corn as fuel. Sometimes when farmers have had big corn crops and no money to bus coal thes have used corn, corn stalks and even has, but in recent years that has not been necessars. Frank Vincent, general manager of the Hutchinson Salt compans. one of the largest consumers of coal in tills part of Kansas, said that the talk of using corn for fuel is foolish. It has not been done and never has been done in this counts.

"I feel safe In saying," he declares, "chat there have not been 200 bushels of corn burned as fuel in Reno counts since its organization. The use of corn as fuel for steam purposes or for making salt is altogether impracticable. We can get coal delivered at from 6 to 7 cents a bushel, and corn at 13 cents a bushel would be more than twice as dear." Other salt men sas about the same tiling. At some of the grain elevators corncobs are used as fuel to furnish steam, but no grain is burned. A good mans farmers now shell their corn before feeding or marketing and thes use the cobs- for fuel, but none of them use the grain.

Topeka, Sep. 13. There is a saying in common among Kansas farm ers that it is as cheap to burn corn for fuel as coal when the price of the two articles are the same per pound. That is, when corn is worth onlj 14 cents per bushel it is as cheap for fuel as cjal at $4 per ton. This is, however, a fallacy, for a ton of ordinars soft coal has been found bs actual experiment to go as far as a ton and a half of corn.

Corn makes a good, clean fire, and a great deal of it Is burned bs farmers, because it is hands and clean and thes prefer to burn it rather than cart it to town and then haul the coal back. The time will probably come even if corn continues to fall In value when it will be used for fuel generalls. It is not used bs manufacturers In this vicinity and 'if there are ans portions of the state where it could be used to greater advantage than coal it would be a point far removed from railway centers, whioh would bring down the value of corn and increase that of coal. There is no more pleasant lire than that furnished bs Kansas corn, but it is much more valuable for pork and beef making purposes than for fuel. Abilene, Sept.

13. Corn has never been used for fuel in this counts, except in extreme cases among settlers remote from the railwas. It is not considered profitable unless below 12 cents a bushel. At that pnea it compares favorably with cheap of coal, but lacks the strength and heat of better grades. It has never been a success in steam plants, even elevators importing coal rather than ass the corn in their bins, claiming that mare power Is obtained from coal.

Mormonism has again Invaded the state of Kansas. Every since last Sundas a big powwow lias been going on at St. John, Stafford counts, with some of the biggest guns in the Mormon church In attendance. On that day a Morman church was dedicated at the counts seat of Stafford counts, and ever since a conference has been held in which praser, preaching and prophecies are the main features. Among the distinguished men present are Elder Kimball, nephew of the noted Mormon.

Heber C. Kimball, and Elder Williamson of the Indian tcrrl-tors, who had numerous wi es to give up when the Edmu'nds law went into effect. There are also a great mans other notables of the Mormon church present. The newls dedicated church at St. John is the onls Mormon church In the United States east of the Rocks mountains, and it has somewhat of a romantic histors as told to a reporter for the Eagle.

Back in the earls dass when pols-gams was first made a feature of Mormonism a tall, stalwart patriarcial old Virginian named Bickerton objected, and finalls seceeded from the church. He was one of those odd characters developed in American life, who felt himself called upon to become a prophet and a leader. He was commanded of the Lord to "bend his steps toward the netting sun and carrs' the book of Mormon with htm- He came to eastern Kansas thirts'-five or forts years ago, and settled somewhere near Fort Scott, but he dould not stas there. Whether he was commanded by the Lord or the citizens to leave is not stated, but at ans' rate he pushed further west- All this time was directed bs unseen hands. Arriving at the big bend of the Arkansas river he thought about locating, but inspiration directed him down the valles and over the prarie until he arrived where St.

John, Stafford counts, now stands. All western Kensas was then a wilderness. Kit Carson and William Matthewaon might have been there, but thes were probably the only white men who had at that time trodden the soil of Stafford counts. There Mr. Bickerton was ordered to locate and plant -the stake of Zion.

The stake used on this occasion was one of the spokes of his wagon wheel which 'he drove deep in the ground, denoting firm establishment. Mr. Bickerton then went east to get his colons and when- he returned the stake of Zion was gone. Some Indian short of wood was supposed to have pulled it up to build a fire in his wigwam. At any rate Mr.

Bickler-ton thought he remembered where he drove the stake and he built a church there dedicated to Mormonism. Gradualls civilization extended westward, and in a short time the stake of Zion was covered over by a red hot frontier town. frisks cowboy made it his paradise, the border outlaw called it his headquarters, and saloons and gambling houses flourished. There was some doubt whether the church 'had been built where the stake of Zion was driven, and the Mormons fell out among themselves. A house divided against itself could not stand, and Mormonism in Kansas disappeared.

In a short time the Mormon church was turned into a dance hall. It is strange, but It is a fact nevertheless, that a frontier church figures more in the develoment of a town than any other building. It is usually used for every thing and is moved about like a rolling stone. This was no exception. From a church it became a dance hall, then a saloon, afterwards a blacksmith shop, again a feed store, and It was finally and per-manentls located as a ware house.

Last s'ear while a man was digging a cellar preparators to re-erect a house that had been burned down, he found Brickerton's original stake of Zion; the wagon Spoke that had been driver) In the ground over thirts S'ears before. The Mormons out at Salt Lake heard of it, and regarding It as a providential discovery bought the lot and erected a church and that is the church that was dedicated last Sundas and in which solemn Mormon services and a conference 'have been held in ever since. It is said that in the re-organizoi colons there are twents-flve families and more coming. J. D.
