The trial of the Taylor brothers charged with the murder of Meeks’ family, is set for hearing at Carroll- ton, Monday March 18th. The 2,200 convicts in the peniten- tiary were vaccinated last week. Some of them protested vigorously and had to be punished before they would submit.

In two years the populists oyer governed Kansas to the tune of $430,000, which the republican leg islature will have to make good. Pretty costly experiment for the people. It is reported that Mrs. Pretty- man, of Holden, found an oyster in her soup while eating at a K. of P. supper in Holden, and from the oys- ter she took a pearl which is said to be worth $75. If the congressmen and senators had beer as attentive to the coun- try’s business the first four weeks of the session as they have been the past week, an adjournment could have been taken six weeks ago. Yho nomination of Mm. L. Wilson by the president for postmaster general to succeed Gen. Bissel!, was promptly confimed by the senate Friday.

Two week ago he placed his stock of goods in the hands of a trustee, the following day Crawford disap- peared. He stood high in the com- munity socially and was a prominent member of the Congregational church. _—_ The Kansas City papers are un- necessarily exercised over the resig- nation of police commissioner Wiley O'Cox, and the pore talk of displacing chief of police Speers, with Col.

As about the last official act of Senator Peffer was to vote the sugar trust five millions of dollars, bounty for their last years crop taken from them by the passage of the tariff bill. Senator Peffer's populist as- sociates voted with him, so there is no kick from that source As these senators boast of belenging to a reform and pure party, their plea for endorsement when they return home will be amusing no doubt. The appointment of a woman with a very bad character to a clerk- ship in the office of the engrossing clerk of the house at Jefferson City, has caused a big scandal on the re- publican legislature, and a resolution was introduced by representative Buckner, of Pike, to thoroughly, in- vestigate the matter. The affair is a dirty piece of business and does not reflect credit on the morals of chief engrossing clerk Eads, who, it is alleged, was made acquainted with the character of tae girl before her appointment to the clerkship. Tired of Suffering. Milan, Mo., March 1.—A man who gave his name as Foster commit- ted suicide yesterday at Harris, in the western part of this county, by taking opium. When found in his room at the hotel a small bottle of the drug was found to contain morphine. A letter ad dressed to his wife at Little Rock, Ark., where it is said he hails from, was found in his pocket saying, “I am tired of suffering and will here end my life.” He was suffering from a cancer and had learned that Dr. Robinson could cure him. Eleven dollars and fifty cents was found on his person. He was buried at Harris today. Coroners jury returned a verdict in accord with the above. Emporia, Kan., March 1.—James Brown, a colored man, was a few ays ago married to a white girl named Myrtle Brickey, and they set- tled down housekeeping in this city. Last evening he was sent a ‘“Kuk- lux and crossbones accompaniment commanding him to leave the city on penalty of death. He was terri fied and appealed to the city police for protection. They assured him that there was no danger His friends, however, were convinced, and a number of them armed with shotguns guarded his house all last night, but were not molested. They are still badly scared. However,the father of the girl says no violence will be used, but insist that his daughter must seperate from her dusky spouse. The house will be guarded this evening.

Fifty-Third Congress Conctudes Work and Adjourns. noon to day the United States Sen- Fifty third Congress amid crowded | galleries, congratulatory resolutions, & parting word from President Cleve- the Vice President The wonted to the end, except for the rush of business incident to the last hour of the session. The Senators were at work by 9 o'clock, after having re mained in the chamber unti) 4 a. m. | They clearly showed the fatigue of the long session lasting from Satur day noon, and their ranks were too thin up to 11 o'clock for the transac- tion of anything beyond formal business. By that time there were few vacant seats on the floor of the Senate, and the galleries were liter- ally packed, the crowds filling the Senate. pushing into the aisles and overflowing in long lines down the corridors and stairways. Many members of the diplomatic corps occupied the gallery reserved for them. By 10 o'clock the last formal ities on the twe remaining appropri- ation bills—naval and deficiency— were concluded, and the measures started to the executive mansion. There was no disposition to take up new business, and two efforts to consider questions affecting the Behring sea were cut off by objec- tions. A feature of the last moments of the session was the tumultuous laughter which greeted the an- nouncement of Mr. Voorhees of the committee to wait on the President, that the latter tendered his congrat- ulations to Congress on the close of their labors. Vice President Stev- epson closed the session with a few well chosen words, and, as he stated, the work of the Fifty-third Congress passed into history. Reed Was Sulky. Proba‘ly no single personal act com- mitte:l by a member of the house at tracted the attention and created the amount of unfavorable comment oc- casined by the refusal of ex Speaker | Reed to vote for the resolution of thanks tendered Mr. Crisp. In the galleries, on the floor, and among the correspondents, this act of sulk iness, and ungraciousness on the part of Mr. Reed was severely criti cised as being without the slightest warrant, and as calculated to draw upon himself the condemnation alike of friends and foes. The general expression was one of surprise that aman of Mr. Reed’s political acu- men and foresightedness, should place himself in the attitude of car rying any personal grievance against the presiding officer of House, and his colleague on the rules committee to the extent of declining to partici- pated in the usual stereotyped cour- tesies at attending the closing slay of a Cengress. Gillaspie Gets Pen Years. Columbia, Mo. Feb. 4—In the case of che state against “homas J.

C., Feb. 28.— second degree, aud assessed his pun- ishment at ten years in the peniten- tiary. The murder was one of the most seusatioual tragedies ever com- bt that the governor will | the democratic party. Silver Democrats in Congress are anxious to have the party commit itself to free coinage of siiver but will stand by the party at all odds: Bailey of Texas says he will have nothing to do with any proposition that would disrupt or compel him to leave the Democratic party. He is willing tomorrow to go into a movement that would declare for the return to pure Democratic prin | ciples; to the free coinage of both gold and silver, for a tariff for reve- nue only, without any regard for in- cidental protection; for a strict con stitution and the reservation to the States of all the rights not expressly granted to the general government, and for the abolition of the national banking system. Bryan of Nebraska is not in favor of going off into any new party movement but is in favor of bring- ing the Democratic party out square ly for free coinage of silver with a platform and with candidates which would not admit of any misunder- standing as to the position of the party on this question. He does not propose, however, to abandon any of the principles of the Demo. cratic party. Hatch of Missouri, one of the leaders of those who are said to be working to get the party to put a free silver plank in thenext platform said tonight he did not propose to leave the Democratic party, but did not care how soon the gold men left it. Senator McLaurin of Mississi ppi, mitted in Boone county The attor neys for the defendant say the case will be appealed at once, and taken to the supreme court of the state. Gillaspie is in feeble health and would probably never live through a sentence of ien years. Mre. J. C. Rommel Morrison, Mo.

Washington, D.C, March 1.— The Democratic silver manifesto, |which has been the chief topic of talk on that side of the House fora jed for the consideration of members, | there was no attempt to secure sig- natures until a late hour, because ; the prime movers in the matter were jundecided whether to call a caucus | for discussion of the matter or to | secure signatures, or issue directly to the public. In consideration of j the short time left and the pressure of business, it was determined not to have a conference. Representa- tive members from fifteen States signed the declaration to-day at the instance of Mr. Bryan, but the can- vass is 680 far very incomplete, and the list of signers will not be made public until it is complete. The paper follows: To the Democrats of the United States: We, the undersigned Democrats, We believe | jthat the establishment of gold as/ the only monetary standard and the | elimination of silver asa full legal tender money will ineretse the pur- chasing power of each dollar, add to the burden of all debts, decrease the | market value of all other forms of | property, continue and _ intensify | business depression, and, finally, re- | duce the majority of the people to| financial bondage. We believe that no party can hope for enduring success in the United States so long as it advocates a | single gold standard and the advoca- ey of such a firancial policy would | be especially toa party which, like the Democratic party, derives its | voting strength from those who may without reproach be called the com- mon people; and we point to the overwhelming defeat of the party in 1894, to the opposition aroused by the veto of the seigniorage bill and to still more unanimons protest i against the issue of gold bonds as | proof that the Demecratic party can | not be brought to the support of | the gold standard policy. We believe that the money yu tion will be paramount issue in 1896, | and will so remain until it is settled | by the intelligence and patriotism | of the American voters. | We believe that a large majority | of the Democrats of the United| States favor bimetallism and realize| that it caa only be secured by the} restoration of the free aud unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio, aud we assert that the majority has and should exert the right to control the policy of the party and retain the party name. We believe that it the duty of the majority and within their power to take charge of the party orgacization and make the Democratic party an effective instrument in the accom- plishment of needed reforms. It is surrender their convictions or other questions in order to take an active part in the settlement of the ques- tion, which at this time, surpasses all others in importance. We believe that the rank and file of the party should at once assert themselves in the Democratic party and place it on record in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 as such coirage existed prior to 1873, without waiting for the aid or consent of any ather nation, such gold and silver coin to be a full legal tender for all debts public and pri- vate. We urge all Democrats who favor the finaneial policy above set forth impress their views upon the party organization, we urge all newspapers in harmony with the above financial policy to place it at the head of the editorial column and assist in the immediate restoration of bimetallism. Girl Attempts Suicide. Belleville, Kan. March 3.—Last evening Jennie Waggouer, aged 15, daughter of Eli Waggoner, shot her self twice with a 38 caliber revolver once in the abdomen and once direct- ly over the heart. She is a bright and lovable girl and has a host of friends among her school girl com. panions. The reason she gives for the act is that she was taunted by certain schoo! girls. Shealso think she may have read too many detec- tive steries. There isa bare possibil- ity that she may live. Railway Horror.

C., March 2 —“If the next candidate for the democrat- ic party is not pledged to the free and unlimited coinage of silver,” said Hatch of Missouri to-day, “I will not support him. The money question will be the overshadowing question in the next campaign. The tariff has been relegated to the back- ground. It has been settled for the next four years. Silver sentiment has been growing every day and the opposition to it in the next demo- cratic convention will be in a hope less minority. You can not state this too strongly.” A Strictly Dry Sanday.
