The Sullivan dam case Is to come up in a new lisht. Ever since the dam was built In 1S73 it has been more or less a subject of legal combat; always, however, coming up in court hy way of injunction proceedings. Recently Mr. Sullivan gave the city quite a legal fight in an injunc tion suit, but the case was finally dis missed with the understanding that Mr. Sullivan could bring suit for damages, thereby settling forever the question as to who should Tiavo the dam, with its at tending privileges. H. G. Ruggles, attorney for Mr. Sullivan, informed a reporter for the Eagle yester day that he "would probably file an amend ed petition today, claiming damages from the city of "Wichita in the sum of $17,500. The amended petition is already drawn, but may be slightly modified before being tiled. The petition states that the building of the city dam floods about three acres of Sullivan's land above the dam; that it has ruined a valuable mill teat and water power, the value of which is alleged to be tUMKX); that the plaintiff has at great ex pense and labor built dams and embank ments for the purpose of improving said water power, and has also built and con structed in the bottom of the Little Arkan sas river a' bed, or foundation, for a dam of his own for the purpose of creating said water power, at great cost of time and money, to the value of $3,000. Mr. Su'.livan further avers that the city of Wichita has forcibly pntered upon said land and built a dam of such height as to raise the water and flood about three acres of his land, besides spoilinghis dam; that the city built this dam for the purpose of diverting the water from the river for the purpose of flushing the city's sewer system. The petition states that about eicht acres of the plaintiff's land lies on the west side of the river, and that by means of the city dam and the back-water there from the land on the west side is rendered of little value to him, in being made dif ficult of access. Plaintiff further states that the city cannot have access to its dam without going over plaintiff's land, an,-, further that the city will be compelled to take sand and timber from aintiff's land with which to repair the city dam, thus using about five acres of land and Trndering it entirely useless;' that by per prtual maintenance of the said dam, about rmeteen .acres will be taken and rendered vainness to plaintiff, and that said land is worth JlvO per acre. The petitioner fur ther states that he was fitting up a plea sjre resort on his land, which the build ing of the dam will ruin, -and of which he estimates the damage to be $1,000. Plain t.ff mentions other damages to nd in question amounting to $1,000, and he fur ther states that the continually recurring damages toy means of overflows and wash outs in tfic immediate vicinity of his resi dence and home-stead will amount to $1,000. Taken as a whole, plaintiff states that by reason of the building and nsrpetua: maintenance of said dam a,t the point and in the mannw described, and the perpetual diersinn of the water therefrom over and through aid lan.ls. the plaintiff has and wll be damaged in the sum. of $17,500.

MUSIC AND DRAMA. "PAY TRAIN." One of the most realistic and sensa tional comedy dramas on the stage today is the "Pay Train," which is billed to appear at the Crawford on Friday evening, February 17. In presenting this well tried comedy drama to the public Manager For rest has spared no pains or expense in making it not only a city production in its scenic appointments but in engaging the company the best artists obtainable have been engaged regardless of salary and the play and the company from a dramatic and scenic standpoint can be favorably compared with any of the modern dramas of today. And that it has stood the test of time 'has been manifested by its ever- increnstng popularity year after year. One of the principal scenes of the play shows a full train of cars rushing across the stage at a rate of forty miles an hour; at the same time a car' is uncoupled and immediately lighted, showing its in terior and the action of a fitting climax. The piece is interspersed throughout by pongs and dances and up-to-date special ties by the various members of the com pany, and in bringing thus attraction to "Wichita the management promises to pre sent it in the same manner and detail as in all the larger cities. Two complete sets of scenery, etc., being carried suitable for any stage. Prices, 23, 35 and 50 cents. "UXDER THE DOME." "Under the Dome," Lincoln J. Carter's' naval drama which cohies to the Craw ford Grand Thursday, has met" with phe-' nomenal success ever since its initial pro duction. A portion of the play deals with recent international history. The story is well told, and while the situations 'are calculated to cause the loyal American heart to leap with fervent patriotism, it is absolutely free from the "jingoistic" spirit and deals with the nations inter ested in the Samoan affair of 1SS9 in a spirit of perfect fairness. Indeed, so skill fully is the story told that during the re cent Canadian tour, the American flag incident was enthusiastically cheered by a body of English soldiers in the orchestra seats. The principal events of the play occurring during the fearful hurricane which swept the harbor of Apia, March 15t-h ,1SS9, gives great opportunity for the scene painter and stage mechanic arts. It is said that the storm scenes, partic ularly the wreck of the Trenton, are ab solutely unrivalled by any similar scenes of the stage. It will be remembered that at this time open hostilities 'between tbe German and United States governments seemed imminent, owing to the position assumed by the former in deposing the king, Malietoa, and attempting to uphold by force of arms Tamasese, the usurper of the throne and creature of the Ger mans. On this fateful day there were gathered in tho narrow and reef-bound harbor the American warships Trenton, Xip-ic and Vandalia, the German Olga, Eber and Adler and the English Calliope, and a large fleet of merchant and fishing vessels. All of these were wrecked with the exception of the Calliope, which alone escappd through the narrow opening in the coral reef and out to the open sea by performing the most daring maneuver re corded in a naval history. Expecting death themselves, the 400 men on board the Trenton sent after the Englishmen a mighty cheer of encouragement. Later, when it seemed that the death of all on board the Trenton was but a matter of a few seconds, the band assembled on deck and the anxious watches on shore were thrilled with the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner." The last'of the storm scenes of the play shows the Trenton in the last des-perato struggle with wind and wave.

HftS LINCOLN'S COST Col.- McCoy of Wichita Has a Priceless Relic. HE WAS MARRIED IN IT Made for Abe-, But McCoy Was in a Hurry, last Sunday was the anniversary of Ab raham Lincoln's birthday, and aoropjs of that day the Kansas City World auolished reminiscences of J. G. McCoy of Wichita, who knew the inside of Lincoln's life and was near him when he was first advised of his nomiation to the presidency. The ar ticle says: "It is an interesting fact in this connection that Colonel McCoy was married in and still retains as a relic a Prince Albert coat that was cut and made for Abraham Lincoln. He was married after Lincoln's election, but before his in auguration to the presidency. It happened in this way: Lincoln had ordered a suit from Wood Hinkle, tailors at Springfield. I: had been made, but hadn't been taken out of the shop, when McCoy suddenly made up his mind to get married. He went to Wood Hinkle and told them that he must have a wedding suit within six days, that he was obliged to go off on a trip that soon, and wanted to get mar ried before starting. The tailors told him it would be impossible for them to get the suit done in that shore time. They looked over their stock to see if they could not fit him out from some orders they, had already filled. "We haven't anything that would fit you," Hinkle finally said, "except that suit over there which we have just finished for Lincoln." "What is the matter with letting McCoy have that?" Wood suggested, "and malig another for Lincoln? He is in no especial hurrv." Thus the matter was finally arranced and McCoy bought the suit that hadsbeen cut and made for Abraham Lincoln. He was duly married in it, and stil Iretains It as a priceless relic. Tho compromise bill of 1S50 produced only a lull in the slavery excitement, tl burst out anew when Stephen A.Douglas brought Into congress the famous bill organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, and advocating the doctrine of "squatter sovereignty," that is the right of the in habitants of each territory to decide for themselves whether the state should come into the Union free or slave. This bill being a virtual repudiation of the Missouri compromise, excited intense feeling. It, however, became a law in 1S54. The struggle was now taken from con gress. A bitter contest arose between the pro-slavery and the anti-slavery men, the former anxious to the secure the state for slavery and the latter for freedom. Each party sent armed emigrants to the terri tory and civil war ensued. Bands of armed men crossed over from Missouri, took pos session of the polls and controlled the elec tions. Houses were attacked and pillaged and men murdered in cold blood. For several years Kansas was the scene of lawless violence. The Lecompton conven tion, which was controlled by ther pro slavery men, adopted a constitution recog nizing slavery. In 1S57' .Buchanan, a Democrat', became president. The Democrats controlled both branches of congress. Buchanan decided to make the admission of Kansas, under the Lecompton constitution, an adminis tration measure. Stephen A. Douglas, a Democrat, realizing that the Lecomnton convention had been a sham, took issue with resident Buchanan. He fought against the admission of Kansas under such circumstances and conditions and de feated the measure. The matter was re ferred back to the people of Kansas for a vote, and tho Lecompton convention was repudiated by an overwhelming majority. President Buchanan was bitterly disap pointed over the defeat of his pet measure, and was especially -bitter against Douglas for the active part he had taken. Douc las' term as United States senator was about to expire .and Buchanan openly an nounced he. would defeat Douglas of a re election, even if it should require the unit ed influence of the entire national admin istration. He proceeded to carry out his threat. The entire state of Illinois was secured by the administration men. The official patronage of the state was used as a club against Douglas. A Douglas Dem ocrat, could not get appointed to any oflice. no matter how small. If an officeholder was found who was a Douglas man and could not be whipped into ifne, he was re moved and, in some instances, a Republic an was appointed in his stead. By force of circumstances, therefore, the Demo cratic party in Illinois was divided into two factions, Douglas and anti-Douglas. The Republicans sought to take advan tage of this split in the Democratic partv. On June 2. 1S5S. the Republican state con vention, which was held in Springfield, nominated, or rather indorsed, Abraham Lincoln as the Republican candidate for the United States senate to succeed Stephen A. Douglas. Up to that time Lincoln's public career had been limited to a couple of terms in the state les's'nture and a short unexpired term in concress. He was thea known better as an able lawyer, a sound reasoner and a forceful public speaker. In the campaign that fall Lincoln achieved national fame through his famous debates with his senatorial op ponent, Stephen A. Douslas. It was during this campaign that the first suggestion and the ftrst seml-DubHc announcement of Lincoln's candidacy for the presidency occurred. It happened at Springfield, and it came about in this way. Lincoln was billed to spak at Springfield, hi homo f-wn. that day and e nir.g. His I frit'T.i arranged a monster demonstration.

A platform was erected, upon which Lincoln and his friends stood and reviewed the parade. Colonel McCoy was among the number who sat on the platform that day. With bands playing and banners flying the pro cession, several miles in length, came mov ing down the street. The delegation from Gardiner township was headed by Munson Beach, an enthu siastic Lincoln man. The delegation gen erally was mounted on horses, but just be hind Beach was a decorated wagon, in which sat a man revolving a targe trans parency. On one of the sides was the inscription: FOR PRESIDENT IN 1S60, ABRAHAM LINCOLN OF ILLINOIS. A jman by the name of Ridgely, who was standing on the platform with the .-evew-mg party, saw the Inscription just before the Gardiner township delegation arrived even with the reviewing stand. "Well, for the Lord's sake, Abe, look- at that," exclaimed Ridgely, in astonishment and mirth, tapping .Lincoln on the slnul der. Lincoln had turned around and was on gaged in an earnest convert ilan at tne lime. He did not seim to hear Ridgely. McCoy heard him, and" glancing in :he direction indicated, saw the inscription. The transparency was being revolved slow ly. McCoy said he watched with great In terest to see how Lincoln would act when he did see the inscription. When it came around in sight again Ridgely shook Lin coln violently by the shoulder. "Look. Abe, look!" he exclaimed. Lin coln turned and read the inscription, just as the wagon passed the reviewing stand. The attention of the entire party was at tracted to it by Ridgely's loud exclama tion. Lincoln" read the inscription and looked into the faces of the men standing near him. The idea suggested by the in scription was so ridiculous that Lincoln and the entire party burst out in uncon trollable laughter. It was the richest ink of the campaign. Munson Beach was com pletely abashed and chagrined at the re ception of his suggestion, nominating Lin coln for the aresldency. The story of Lincoln's growth and nomi nation for president Is an old one. The World's article continues: (Lincoln did not go to CJiicago to at tend the convention, but remained in Springfield. He was in constant com munication with the convention hall, how ever, and knew in a general wav everv- thing that was going on a few minutes after it had happened. The result of the third ballot had 'hardly been declared in Chicago until this telegram came over "the wire to Lincoln: "You are nominated. Third ballot. "ORANGE JUDD." McCoy was one of the first to congrat ulate Lincoln. He was coming down the street when Lincoln came out of the tele graph office with the telegram in his hands. "Well, Abe, what's the news?" McCoy asked. Lincoln handed him the telegram. The news spread quickly over Springfield. !As Lincoln was standing there on. the side- ....v i.luUL ui iue leiegrapn otnee, one of the Springfield lawyers came up tho sidewalk on the other side of the street. When he got opposite the little coterie which surrounded Lincoln, he called out: "Abo, Trtien are jypu- going over to the ball ground?" It appears that there was a ball ground back of the 'court house, where the lawyers and others would re pair nearly every nice afternoon and amuse themselves at town ball. "I'll be out shortly after dinner, Joe," Lincoln shouted acrosa the street. It is an interesting fact that Lincoln, just nom inated for president of the United States, did that afternoon go out on the ball field and participate in the game, as usual, just as though nothing unusual had oc curred. After Lincoln had stood there near the telegraph oflice a few minutes, receiving the congratulations of his friends, he looked at his watch and then said: "Well, boys, T guess you all know how I feel. There's a little woman up on the hill who wants to see me about this time of day. I'll see you all after dinner." Speaking of Lincoln's character, McCoy said that Lincoln owed his greatness largely to the fact that he was unhappily married. "Lincoln's wife." McCoy says, "was a common scold, a regular Xantippe. She was socially ambitious and extremely selfish. She made life unbearable for hus band. She drove him from home. Instep of spending his time in saloons, as many would have done, he went Into the library. IFor nearly twenty years he spent his evenings in the state library rooms In the basoment of the capitol building in Spring field. He drank deep at the fountain of knowledge and when tho time came for him to use his knowledge and trainTng he was prepared for tho emergency." "Abe -Lincoln was the most approacha ble man I ever knew," continued McCoy. "Every man, be he ever o humble, could get his ear. HLs political success did not turn his head. He listened to and coun- seieu wie aavice or nis irientis. it was only after hi had thoroughly made up his mind that he was right on a given propo sition and had mapped out his course, that he became firm and Immovable. All the powers on earth could not have swerved him in his course then. I remember as instance of this during the war. All his friends were advising him to immediately emancipate the slaves. Lincoln insisted that time was not yet ripe. John C. Fre mont, who was in command of the depart ment of the Missouri, stationed at St Louis, issued -his famous order, freeing the slaves embraced within that department. Lincoln promptly annulled the order. Gov ernor Yates sent Lincoln telegrams urging him to issue the emancipation proclama tion. In reply Lincoln wired back: 'Hold down, Dick.
