The Evidence "Shows Tliat tlie Petitions "Were IS'ot Signed- by a Majority of the Property Owners Judge Wall Was Tickled. The suit involving the payment of the cost of paving Douglas avenue was de cided against the city by Judge Reed of the district court yesterday. The decision was made in the action brought by Barnes, Schweiter.

and Lane to enjoin the collection of the special assessment or tax for paving Douglas avenue. The cases were brought to test the validity of tho assessment and generally property owners oa that street have refused to pay their taxes awaiting the outcome of these actions, as most of the owners on the avenue have combined for the purpose of testing the question. The cases were tried, evidence submitted aud arguments made some time ago, but by teason of'the importance of the litigations, Judge Iteed made a most thorough and searching investigation of the law bearing upon the subject, and it took him about two hours to render the decision, thoroughly discussing every legal question involved. The judge said without much difficulty he had reached an opinion satisfactory to himself and about which he had but little doubt when the cases weie submitted upon the argument, but that by reason of its importance to the city he had investigated it thoroughly and was fully convinced upon the evidence submitted that the whole proceeding was invalid. The judge referred to the statutes of 1591, under which the proceedings to pave Douglas aveuue were had.

That, statute provides that before any resolution to pave or macadamize any street shall be of any validity there shall first be presented to the city council and spread upon tho records a petition signed by the owners of a majority of the front feet flouting upon the street to be paved. Thus the court held in view of the re peated decisions of tho supreme court of this state aud the doctrine laid down by text writers upon the subject was jurisdiction, iu other words, that unless such a petitiou was presented and acted upon, the city could acquire no jurisdiction and that all proceedings done without such a petitiou would be void. Iu round numbers the total number of feet to be paved was C.700; the petition presented to the city council aud acted upon by it contained names repiesenting iu rouud numbers 3,400 feet. It was shown that inauy signed the petition who were not owners; also that many who signed had no authority to sign for the owners; also that some of the signing was conditional upon the work not costiug more than a given amount, and iu one or two instances the same lots were represented upon the petition twice according to the evidence. Some GOO or 700 feet were represented upon the petition twice without any right or authority, thus making the number of feet represeuted in the peti tion fall far shot of the majority.

The court held that iu as much as the city council acted without jurisdiction and that tho proceedings thereunder were void, that the section of the statute giving the piopeity owner redress by injunction, in case of invalid assessment or taxation would apply, and that the thirty days statute of limitations applies only to cases of irregularities and not to an absolutely void proceeeing; citing repeated decisions of the supremo court of the state upon that subject. It was contended by counsel for the city that the validity of the proceedings could not be attacked in the collateral action, but. the judge held that, inasmuch as tho statutes provided the remedy for injunction of any legal assessment, that it could be attacked, aud cited some very recent cases passed upon by the supreme court of the state. It that the supreme court, in various cases where petitions must be presented signed by a certaiu number of property owners before a board of county commissioners, then city couueils are empowered to make improvements, that tho supreme court has held that a property owner may show that a lequisite number of signers were not upou such petitions, and it has been uniformly so held, beginning in the third volume of Kansas reports, down to the present time. It was contended that on the patt of the city that those who signed the petitiou were stopped from now questioning the validity of tho proceedings.

Schweiter did not sign any petition, but Barnes and Lane did tho petition but the petition did not represent or pretend to recite that it was signed by the owners of a majority. Tho judge said that the last time this question was before tho supreme court it was iu a case reported in tho next to the last volume of the Kansas reports, the 49th Kansas, in the case ot the commissioners of Wyandotte county vs. Brown; the following being the law upou the subject as laid down by Chief Justice Horton: "The mere signing of a petition for the improvement of a road will not stop a land owner, who uever presented the petitiou and never knew that it was fatally defective, when presented, until after all the work was completed from alleg- ing that a board of county coimm- iouers had uo authority to authorize the improvements or cause assessments to be made therefoi, wheu such improvements I were made in a maimer different from that which tho petition requested aud iu violation of the provisions ot the statute. It appears in evidence that the petition was circulated by the agent of the Barber Asphalt Paviuc Company, that those 1 gning it did not present it to the city council nor represent to it that it was signed by the owners of a majority of the front feet upon the street. It was Also I shown that the plaintiffs did not know I that tho city bad acted without the 1 requisite signatures.

I The court in passing said that in as much as there were probably other actions awaiting the result of the ones now beiug determined, that he would say that he fouud it to be the law of Kansas that the mere signing of a petitiou, such as theone i preseute.l to the city council, would not estop such persons ftom enjoining an 11- legal aud invalid assessment, but that in order to estop him, it must show that he either presented it to the city council and thereby representing it contained the requisite names, or that he actively assisted therein and encouraged and i caused the city council to act upon such petition In such a case, it was intimnted that he would hold that snch a rerson would be estopped, Judge Wall, who Judge Wall, who bronchf. tho nation for Barnes and Schweiter, says that he spent a great deal of time iu examining into the numerous adjudicated cises upon the subject, but that Judge Reed, by his exhaustive opinion, seems to have run down all the cases having any bearing upon the subject, finding many and referiag to many not cited by counsel either for the city or for the plaintiff. The decision pleases Judge Wall immensely. "I warned the city council at the time of the danger of proceeding with the paving of the avenue on the petition," said he yesterday. "Ever since theu I have watched every turn of the case iu the interest of my clients, and I came into court like a mau goiug into a game of whist with thirteen trumps." City Attorney Myatt was not so well pleased.

He labored hard in the case and he is disappointed in the result bo far. The final hearing will be held on an agreed date and probably upon an agreed statement of facts. The court room was crowded with attorneys while Judgo Reed was rendering his opinion. WILL HANG IN THE JAIL. Why Judjc Williams Sentenced 3Liox to bd Hung in Wichita.

The people up about the dl do not relish tho idea of the approaching execution in that building by auy means. Sheriff Royse says he hoped that Mattox would be taken to Topeka and executed there, but that hope was a vain one. There is nobody about the nil that likes a hanging, and on the f.ital day several of them are liable to go visiting their country cousins. Some of the prisoner are in a terror, at least those of them who will still lodge at that institution on and after the execution. It ie said that several of them are anxious to plead guilty to any big crime that might be cbaiged against them so that they might be taken to the penitentiary before the event occurs.

After the hanging five years ago the prisoners had fits for a week or two. There were then several Indians iu the jail aud they didn't sleep sound for a month. They dreamed of ghosts and all kind of superstitious things and more than one ot them swore that the ghost of Mosier strode through the corridor of tho jitil at night, peeped into cells aud even went so far as to go into one of their cell one night and ask for a cicarette. Tne Indian who was thus accosted, in his imagination or dreams no donbt, yelled like a demon aud woke up every individual in the jail. The report got around among the various cells that the Indiau saw the ghost of Mosier and every inmate trembled from that till morning and several nights thereafter.

The Indians have some rites by which they exorcise ghosts and fifteen or twenty of them made the night hideous cbauting this particular rite. Those who heard it say it was the most mournful music they ever heard. At any rate it did the work, for the ghost of Mosier was never afterwards seen or heard of in that jail. It was hoped that Mattox would be sentenced to- bo hung at Topeka on account of the sentimentality that is always generated here during the two or three weeks preceding a day of execution, but it is a matter of some doubt whether the judge could order an execution outside this division of the district. All crimes committed iu Oklahoma before a court was established there were under the jurisdiction of the court held iu this division, aud as Mattox committed his crime iu the jurisdiction of this court, under that rule, his execution should also be held in this division.

This seems to be the prevailing opinion, although there are some dissenters from it. DERBY'S PROSPEROUS CORPS. New Ofiiceis Elected anil Installed and the J.i cut Celebrated Witli a Feast. Mrs. Helena Mason, department aide, accompauied by Mrs.

"This is a very hopeful country," said Mr.

James L. Lombard of Kausin City to an EAGLE reporter at the State National bank yesterday afternoon. "The brightest prospects are before Wichita and Kansas." Mr. James L. Lombard is accompanied by Mr.

Benjimin Lombard of Boston and Mr. G. Lombard of Salt Lake City. The Messrs. Lombards are here on one of their regular business visits looking over their interests iu this city.

"We generally manage to get to Wichita once a year," said Mr. Lombard, "but we sometimes skip a year. It is now two years since we were last here." "Do you find business conditions better here thau they were before." "Oh, yes; some of the finest land there is lies arouud this city aud iu this county. These bottom lands will make this a great city. For a while Wichita developed faster than the country on which she depends, but now the country is devel oping very fast aud is going ahead of the city.

The city must develop more in older to catch up to the codntry and may at some future time again go ahead of the country and then have to wait until the country has reached her point of development. It is thus that they each advance; fiist the country and then the city and then the country and so on first the one and then the other." Has the lowest point in values been reached iu your opinion? "It has; and values are even now on the increase. It depeuds very much on what the crop will be the present year, as to how muchthoy will increase." "Just now thera are very good indications." How long would you place the time before the increase in values will be very noticeable? "It may be a year before very great advances are seen in the city; perhaps more; but the people of Wichita need wait no longer thau two years at the most before they realize a very increased activity iu business interests." Iu speaking of the reported difficulty in obtaining money for loans: istern money loaners are more ready to extend the time of their notes than they were several years ago." "Is not this due to the length of time required to foreclose a mortgage?" "Partly to that, but it is mostly due to the fact that they have more confidence in Kansas and Kansas lands." Mr. Lombard continued: "Of course there are grumblers in every place. You doubtless have them here.

We have them in Kansus City. Thev can never see good iu anything. A few discouraging iucidents cau bo found the most prosperous times. The men on Wall street do not continually repeat every failure If they did so, confidence would be destroyed and the effects of it would bo felt all over the couutry, as it was this summer. A man should praise his own country when he has such good reasons as the people of Kansas have." "What effect do you think tho Populist party has had "Bad.

1 hope Kansas wilf elect a good staunch Republican for governor. It would bo as good for the state as the best crop ever raised. What the people of Kansas should do is to show the country that the Populist party has lo3t its power. During the interview Mr. Benjamin Lombard of Boston came in and stood ready to endorse all that was said.

Wheu asked how he fouud Wichita on this visit he said: "Some newspaper reports which I have read of Kansas have not been at all Mattering aud if one should judge from them, he would not have a very good opinion of the state. I have been all over your city and I was surprised. There is some of the finest couutry around here that I have ever seea. The building up of a large city here is sure." KING RENE'S DAUGHTERS. A delightful livening at Tho Opera Ilous: Music of the most refined nature furnished the music loving public of Wichita three hours ot exquisite enjoyment at the concert given iu tho Crawfoid Grand Opera house last evening.

The Wichita musical club made those who heard their efforts proud of their name. Each one of the many ladies and gentlemen taking part acqnitea themselves like tho natural musicians aud trained students of music which they were. The first part of the program was a concert. It was opened by a piano quartette, "Spanish dance" by Mr'. Smythe Mrs.

Lyeth and Misses Stttcia Niederlander and Walker. From the very first strains of mnsicthe audience listened very attentively and at its close the musicians were greeted with a hearty applause. Ave Marie, the second number on the pronram, gave the audience a taste of how Wichita was represented the world's fair this fall, for this was the semi-cnorns giveu by tho Wichita Musical club at that time. It was well received. T.

B. Gsrst sang a solo entitled "Honor and Arms" iu his rich, full bass voice. He was called back that be might again favor the audience. The encore was also greeted with a round of applause. The audience was again favored by Mrs.

Lyeth and Mrs. Smythe in a duet, "If I Were a Bird," played upon two pianos This also received the hearty approval of the audience, for it was rendered in a very able manner and with excellent expression. "The Lorelei" was the title of a solo which Mrs. Garst choss for hsr bst appearance in Wichita before her departure to Europe, but she was disappointed for she was given hearty encore. Mrs.

Garst is au artist and won the trained ear as well as the heart, of her hearers. Miss Atkins cave the last performance ot the first part of the program, a violin solo, which was so well rendered that the lady was nearly behind the scenes before the applause started. Sbe was encored aud produced soft sweet strains of harmony of which the audience 'howed their appreciation by their applause. Tbe second part, the cantata King Rene's Daughter, was the crowning event of the evening. Tbsscsnic effect was grand, tbe ldi being all dressed Greet costumes nd arranged in artistic group, on wmsvrhtl higher thin the other toward tbe rear of the stage.

The whole cantata was rendered in a highly artistic manner and th xmisic was well worthy of the first partof I jgram. The solos, duets and iniw deserve specS.l mention, though they wers excellently ''-j'-rvtr --S supported by the chorus, Mrs. ars Miss Clevelaud and Miss Johnson sang in a very excellent manner. The, stage directions were under the management of Mr. Frank Rich.

Miss Jessie L. Clark was pianist and Mrs. E. Higginson assistant pianist while the whole program was under the direction of Mrs. Garst.

Not a j.ir happened to mir the occasion. CASES SET. Judge Itecd Maps Out Big Work for the xt Six Weeks. The jury cases on tbe civil docket of the district court were assigned yesterday as follows: FEBRUAP.r. State of Kansas ex rei Ella McFredrick vs.
