i i i t SAUNDERS GLVES UP. With His Commonweal Army he} Surrenders to Marshal Neely. War is Cocluded Without the Shed- ding of Blood. Arrest.—Charge Made Against it of Obstructing the Mails. Scott City, Kan., May 10.—Gen- J. S. Saunders and his army of com-! monwealers are in the hands of the law. The outfit surrendered to the United States marshal J. S. Neely in the railroad yards at Scott City, which is 400 miles west of Kansas City, at 7 o'clock this evening. No resistance was offered The army will be taken to Topeka for trial for obstructing U.S. mails. The men are good natured, and the govern- ment officials do not expect further trouble Ata late hour last night the of- ficials on board the Waggener spe cial held a conference and decided that it would be unwise to attempt to capture the train with a force of deputies and the scheme to swear in 200 men was abandoned. It is thought that Marshal Neely’s posse of forty deputies would be sufficient to serve the writs and in case the commonwealers refused to give up the train, it would then be in order to call upon the government troops to enforce the mandate of the feder- al court. The train proceeded slowly, the officials not being desirous of meet ing the commonwealers before they are well on Kansas soil. The party arrived at Gypsum City in Saline county at 7:30 o'clock and took breakfast, resuming its journey at 8:15. At Saline the engine showed signs of giving out. It did not “steam well” on account of the coal used and frequent stops became nec essary. About this time it was reported that the commonwealers had repair ed the damage done to the stolen train at Chivington and started for Kansas. The announcement caused some excitement on board the spe cial, as from reports received early in the morning the officials calculat ed upon meeting the commonwealers at Scott City, but with a disabled locomotive they knew they could not do it. The train stopped at the first station and telegrams were sent fly ing in every direction. At the next station answers were received from every point along the lire. The of ficiala held a hurried consultation and more telegrams were sent. More bad coal was thrown into the engine and after half a dozen stops on the prairie the train reached Hoisington at 8:45 o’clock, where a new engine was secured and then began the race for Scott City, a dis- tance of 130 miles, although very little hope was entertained of beat- ing the commonwealers to that city The special train in the hands of Conductor Butts and Engineer Frick fairly flew over the track, going at times at a rate of fifty-five miles an hour. Marshal Neely and his chief depu ty, James Gray, proceeded to get the “shooting irons” ready, and dis- tributed them among the forty men selected to handle them. The most of the men had Winchesters. The others were supplied with double- barreled shot guns and revolvers. Each deputy was given fifty rounds of amunition. Marshal Neely ad dressed his men, advising caution. He told them not to fire under any circumstance unless ordered by him to do so. Superintendent Clark wired the section foreman atScott City to tear up the track at that point so as to prevent the progress of the com- monwealers.

The party had just finished supper, but the table was still standing and General Saunders was invited to eat. He accepted the invitiation and proceeded to do justice to asquare meal. After sup per General Saunders and Mr Wag- gener held a conference and the leader of the commonweaiers de cided to turn the stolen train over to the Missouri Pacific Rail- road company and surrepler the army tothe authority of the gov ernment on 2 charge of obstruct- ing the mails. The principal officers of the army are General Saunder, Adjutant Gen eral Connelly and Colonel Murphy. General Saunders is a single man 39 years old. He was born in Green Missouri.

Mr. Wag- , Marshal Neely and General Saunders visited the different com panies and the men were formally placed under arrest by the marshal who made a speech informing them that they would have to accompany their leader to Topeka. General Saunders assured each company that it was all right. The men cheered their commander to the echo. The men were ordered to board the train at eleven o'clock. The time for departure was set for midnight and it is expected that the train will reach Topeka by 40’clock to morrow afternoon. The prisoners will be held there until their eases are dis posed of. District attorney Perry will probably be in Topeka when the prisoners arrive and prompt ac tien will be taken. The men will of course have to be fed by the govern ment pending the hearing of their cases. gener SWUNG From A BRIDGE. Father and Son Lynched by a Mob at Sharon Springs, Kan. Sharon Springs, Kans., May 9.— One of the most determined mobs that ever congregated in this por- tion of the State on Monday lynched William McKinley and eldest son, Lewis, for the murder of Charles Carley, committed one week ago. the news of the double lynching reached the outer world for the first time to-day. The crime which led to the lynching was cruel and revolt- ing. About a week ago Charles Carley, a son in-law of William Me- Kinley, was murdered. An investi- gation revealed the fact that Fred, a 17-year-old son of McKinley, senior, committen the crime. The boy when arrested made a confession, stating that he had been induced to kill his brother-inlaw by his father and older brother, Lewis. The motive for the murder seemed principally revenge and hatred. ‘The murdered man had only a few weeks before married McKinley's daughter. It had been stipulated before the marriage that the groom was to pay at Selbirk was also instructed to tear | the bride's father $200 for the privi- up the track behind the stolen train to prevent it from leaving the state that direction. The special train arrived at Scott lege of marrying her. The groom refused to pay this money after he was safely married and thus incurred the enmity of his wife's father and City at 5 o'clock and founda gang] brothers.

Appalling Loss ot Life by Earthquake Shocks of Venezuela. Caracas, May 9.—A terrible earth-| quake took place in Venezuela on April 28. Reports which have been received here from the districts af- | fected tell of terrible loss of life and destruction of villages and towne. The cities of Merida, Laguinallas, Chiguarra and San Juan, situated in the northwest of the republic in the Andes, are reported as having been totally destroyed by a fierce shock | at 11 o'clock on the night of tht 28th. Many villages are said to be reck- ed, but details are not yet to be had. The convulsion extended to parts of the adjacent Repuplie of Colombia. The full details of the catastrophe | will be learned slowly, but it 1s pro- bable that 10,000 people have per-| ished, and that the} greatest suffering prevails in the} places visited by the earthquake. | The United States Minister here has notifiel the State Department at Washington of the terrible effects of the ¢itastrophe, and has asked that assisinnce be given to the people of the stricken district. it is certain Maj. Armstrong Tells Tom How to Get On in the World: Marv Crry, Mo., April 30, 1894. Dear Tom:—Your letter of the 26th inst. is before me. Most of our successful men began life with- out a dollar. They have won suc cess by hard work and strict honesty and you can do the same. Here are a dozen rules for getting on in the world: 1. Be honest Dishonesty sel- dom makes one rich, and when it does riches are a curse. There is no such thing as dishonest success. 2 Work. The world is not go- ing to pay you for loafing. Ninety per cent of what men call genius is only a talent for hard work. 3. Enter into the business or trade which you like best, and for which nature seems to have fitted you, provided it is honorable. 4. Be independent. Do not lean on others to do your work or con- quer your difficulties. 5. Be conscientious in the dis- charge of every duty. Do your work thoroughly. No boy who slights his work. 6. Don't try to begin at the top. Begin at the botten and you will have a chance to rise, and you rises will | be surer reaching the top sometime. | 7. Trust nothing but God and hard work. Inscribe on your banner, “Luck is a fool, pluck is a hero.” | 8. Be punctual. Keep your ap- pointment. Be there a minute be- fore time if you have to dinner to do it. 9. Be polite. Every smile, every | gentle bow is money in your pocket. 10. Be generous. Meanness makes enemies and breeds distrust. 11. Spend less than you earn. Do notrun in debt. Watch the leaks and you can live on your salary 12. Make all the money you can lose your while you live and be your own ex- ecutor. Your friend, James ARMSTRONG.

This California concern was paid $150,160.52, and during the current year had already been paid to March 1 $263,107.60. Senator Peffer, in speaking of the employment of his son, to day, said: “By the death of one of the members of the firm it became necessary to employ some new men and in a mea- sure effect a reorganization. Mr. Oxnard, after a consultation with my wife and son, proposed to me that he give Elwood a position. He had taken a fancy to the boy and wish ed to advance him Elwood is now in Topeka, and I do not know whether he will go to California or to one of the Nebraska plants. His position has not been decided upon or even whether he will go to the laboratory or out among the farmers urging the cultivation of beets.” The total bounty paid to beet sugar producers last year was $531,- 363.81, and during the current year to March 1 it was $610,937.59. Of this sum the Oxnard companies re- ceived last year in round numbers $225,000, during the current year $356,397, or largely over one half of the total beet sugar bounty. Senator Peffer has been a bitter opponent to tariff legislation, much tothe surpris» of some of hie col- leagues and some of his constituents- He favors bounties on Sugar. and Probably the most famous hang- man’s rope in the United States— at least outside of Fort Smith, Ark. —is owned by Sheriff Hornbeck of Cooper county, Mo.
