THE LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION.

Its Failure Was Expensive to the Philanthropic Officers.

The suit brought by Moore fc Lasgen against the directors of the Wabash Mutual live stock insurance association is veryp rom ising in point of interest. Mr. W, H. Soale, who is the company's attorT ney, made some statements to an EXPRESS man yesterday, substantially as follows: "Some of the directors of the sociation who have been sued by the plaintiffs in this case are not members of the association, because they have no live stock insured in it. Hence the invalidity of a suit against the directors. Not one of the officers of the association has drawn one cent of Balary for services on the contrary, they have advanced money to the association which they have never had refunded to them. The primary reason that they advanced money to the association was that several members of the association did not pay assessments and the policies could not be paid when made due by the death of'insured stock. The secondary reason for advancing money was that they had faith in the institution and wished to establish it upon a substantial basis, after which they expected to recover the money advanced. But that day has gone, because the association ceased to exist last January, and is now a corpse, nothing more."

The especial interest depending upon future developments in the case now pending in the circuit court hinges upon the decision of the circuit judge in the plea of abatement offered by the directors of the one time company. If the plea in abatement be held good, every policy-holder in the company will be made a defendant in the suit. These policy-holders live in Indiana and Illinois, and some of them in Kentucky. Mr. Soale and Mr. Mason, the secretary, said that there were between five and six thousand dollars due in assessments. In this connection Mr. Mason denied that he had written any such letter as the Indianapolis policy-holder attributed to him, but that he wrote one to an Indianapolis collector, telling the latter that a policy on which he wished to collect the money was not then collectable, and he would do well to abstain from suit and save his good money until the proper time should come.

This does not contradict any points in THE EXPRESS article of yesterday as to the officers drawing salaries. No one denies that the law of the state does not authorize such corporations. It is not denied that this corporation with its officers and direotors after the style of incorporated and responsible corporations, is but the semblance of such responsible corporations.

1: HOOSIBES DON'T GET LEFT.

Fonr of Them, In a Balloon, Prospecting in Oklahoma. TOPEKA, Kan., April 5.—The members

of the state board of railroad assessors, just returned from a trip through Oklahoma, report army officers as saying that thousands of boomers are still concealed in the brush, and that if the whole United States army was there it could not drive them out. Names are taken, but ninety out of one hundred are fictitious. Captain Woodson and Lieutenant Carson are in receipt of telegrams daily to hire horses, have them saddled and bridled, and in waiting on the arrival of trains at Oklahoma City, April 22d, at noon. The object is to mount at once and by fleet steeds distance rival boomers on foot and capture choice claims. A party of four Hoosiers, with a balloon, are camped near Antelope hills. They will make an accent in the morning, drift until noon, and then descend, hours in advance of teams and speedy horses.

State officials anticipate trouble and say the country will be an Eldorado for good land office lawyers. The excitement is increasing daily and all Southern Kansas is ablaze. The assessors think that Oklahoma iB not what it has been painted. The soil is red and the land is good chiefly for hay and cotton. Oklahoma was surveyed some years ago, but the corners are nearly all obliterated now. Settlers taking claims will find it difficult to describe the same when they go to the land office to make a filing, and this will give rise to innumerable contests.

AMUSKUBNTS.

The large audience for the second night of "Fantasma" was proof of the excellence of this entertainment, and the surprising tricks, phantasmagoric effects and beautiful tableaux, gorgeous in rich colors and sparkling light, arranged with exquisite taste, produced repeated, hearty applause. It is a combination of art, wonder and fanoy. It is to be hoped that all the children can attend the matinee this afternoon. As a matter of course the audience to-night will be immense.

The production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by the Stetson company on Tuesdayevening will be with special scenery throughout, and a double quartet, new mechanical effects and other interesting features. A very unique and novel street parade will be given on Tuesday afternoon by the entire company, including little Eva on her pony, four drum majors headed by the "Giant,n who jras formerlv with Barnum, and twenty musicians, handsomely uniformed, each uniform being different from the others.

Mr. Edward C. Jepsoci is in the city arranging fpr the appearance of the "Two Sisters" company next week.

A special prize matinee will be given to-day by the "Fantasma" company,
