Report says that a drouth, said to be the worst known in fifty years, is driving people out of Michigan. Brooklyn, New York, was visited by an earthquake Sunday, which made the buildings totter and alarmed the people. This is about the way in politics. The democrats fall out and fuss over principal, and the republicans stick together for the offices. ree The Morning Star, is the name of a new daily paper launched at Seda- lia Sunday morning. It is to be hoped it will not have as rovgha voyage as the Times. ———_=——— The attention of Lecturer Inger- soll is respectfully called to the case of the Methodist preacher in Georgia who turned intidel and whose tongue has since been paralyzed. Quay is still boss of Pennsylvania. The efforts of the governor and the other high dignitaries to down him for chairman of the state committee, proved a total failure. eed “Jack the Ripper” has been cape tured in England and placed in a mad house. It turns out he wasa young medical student whose mind was unbalanced by hard study. The Missouri press association will meet at Pertle Springs, Octo- * ber 24th, when an excurson ‘will fol- low to Altoona, Georgia. This will be a most excellent opportunity for the editors to visit the cotton expo- sition. Peffer offers no encouragement to his party in 1896. He says the pop- ulists will not elect a president, but they will put the party in line for the next time. The populists are always going to do wonders at the next election. Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge will unlimber his silver tongue at Wil- liamstown, Grant county, Sept. 21, in behalf of the democratic party and ticket. With Carlisle and Breck- inridge on the stump you can look for Kentucky to roll up her old time democratic majority. The dispatches say the ministers in Wichita, Kan., have ceased their fight for prohibition in that city, owing to the action of the governor, and the republican nominating con- vention, and it is now conceded that Wichita, unless a great change comes over the people before the election in November, will go demo- cratic by over 1,000 majority. The Cass Co. News says R. E. Lewis, of Clinton, is almost the unanimous choice of the republicans of this district for nomination for congress in 1896. Not stopping at that the News goes on to laud Mr. Lewis as a statesman. Now this latter clause is rather stretching on the imagination, when everybody knows Mr. Lewis to be a very ordi- nary plug lawyer. Dr. Cundiff, of Cass county, made 4 serious blunder when he attempted to talk politics at the G@. A. R. camp, and had to submit to the humiliation of being called down. The veteran reunion was not a political gathering and if the doctor had anaxe to grind on the congressional stone he made a mistake in the time and place to turn the crank. The Chicago Herald Times charges ex-mayor Hopkins, of that city, with having instigated the great Chicago railroad strike, in which so much property was damaged. Debs, pres- ident of the labor organizations and manager of the strikers,substantiates the charges of the paper. Mayor Hopkins is a republican and held the office by virtue of the death of Carter Harrison. He was formerly an employee of the Pullman Co. and was discharged and his action was taken revenge. Secretary Carlisle has consented | to goto Kentucky and make a few| speeches for General Hardin, the | ! democratic candidate for governor. | R. R. Dunbar, of Kansas City, inns | laid claim to 328 acres of Jand in; “| the heart of Argentine, Kansas and | |bas gone to the courts to establish ‘his rights. He is 71 years of age | j}and should he gain his suit will be) made a very rich old man. | The attention of the 42.000 dem- | ocrats that stayed away from the | polls in this state at the last elec-| tion is directed to the fact that boss | Filley is after a seat in the United |States senate. This is sufficient | jnotice to bring every democrat to} the polls in 1896, if he has to crawl to get there. Hurrah for the democrats of Bourbon county, Kansas. In their convention held in Ft. Scott Satur- day, the sentiment of the convention was for a straight ticket which pre- vailed, the request of the populists to fuse being ignored. Henry Wat- terson, of Kentucky, was in attend- ance but could not speak without violating his contract with the lec- ture bureau. The state of Illinois is getting in straits financially. State Treasurer Whittemore says there is not enough money on hand to run tke state in- stitutions and scarcely enough to pay another month’s salaries to state employes. The appropriations have all been paid out and no money is due until next April, and if forced right now to pay all it’s debts the state could not pay 50 cents on the dollar. No provision has been made to borrow money and the creditors will have to wait for their money until April and July 1896. All this has been brought about by the fail- ure of the legislature for the past six years to proyide sufficient tax levies. Yet the republicans tell us they are the only fellows capable of managing this government. —_——— The latest sensation is the cap- ture and return to Kansas City of Dr. Fraker, the life insurance swin- dler. He was captured in the woods in Minnesota. It was sup- posed and proven to the satisfaction jan attorney who repr jof insurance compani FRAKER IS FOUND. The Missing Doctor Discovere Minnesota Woods.—Confesses His Identity. Duluth, Minn. Sept. 2—Dr. George W. Fraker was arrested 20 tiles from Tower, the Vermillion ninety-six miles ling town on ze, this county, Duluth on Sunday. He was brought into Tower Sunday evening and to-day admitted his guilt, and agreed to go back without the formality of requisition papers. He arrived in Duluth at 11:15 this morning and left a few minutes later for the west. He was arrested by deputy sheriff Phillips, accompanied by Robert T. from terrick, a pool and Jobn Wilkinson, chief of police of Topeka, Kansas. Herrick and Wilkinson reached Tower on Saturday afternoon and made inquiries of several people if they had seen a person answering to a description which he gave. He de- scribed a man of about 40 years of age, smoothly shaven, but no one could tell him of any such person having been seen in that section. Finally, however, he met a man who was certain that tiie person describ- ed was in the county but said to him, “he has sideburns instead of being smoothly shaven.” Mr. Herrick at once concluded that the man described was the per- son for whom he was looking, ard, securing the services of deputy sheriff Phillips, at once supplied themselves with proyisions and proceeded into the woods twenty miles from Tower, where they carae across a hut, the sole occupant of which was a man who, in answer to an inquiry said he was the servant of Wm. Schnell. The officers asked him where Schnell was and he re- plied that he was out hunting. In order to prevent the servant from giving an alarm upon the approach of Schnell, they hand-cuffed him and proceeded on their way. About two miles further on, Schnell, with a gun on his shoulder, was met and instantly recognized as the supposed dead man, Dr. Fraker. of the courts that the doctor was drowned in the Missouri river one night in July, 1893. The companies disbelieved the story of his death and fought against payment to the courts of last resort. Finally the companies paid over the money but continued to prosecute a search for the missing doctor, their labors be- ing rewarded Monday by finding him sound and well with a gun on his shoulder, hunting game in the timber. This case has gained nation- al notoriety and the city papers contain pages of the legal fight and|ing there at 6:15 Sunday night. Hej the sharp detective work in the capture. Stopped the Debate. Eminence, Ky., 30.—The sixth joint debate in the series of twelve, was to have taken place between Colonel W. O. Bradley and General P. W. Hardin, at Eminence, to-day, was called off on account of the noisy demonstratien of the crowd. Colonel Bradley was to have opened and -closed the debate. When he attempted to begin the noise and disturbance of the crowd was so great that he was compelled to ait dow. W. P. Thorne, the Democratic chairman, arose and appealed to them for order, but the crowd paid no attention to him. Colonel Brad- ley attempted again and again to speak, six times in all, but failed to get a hearing. Seeing that any at- tempt to speak was in vain, he gave it up, saying that the noise was more than he could stand, and refusing most positively to proceed farther. | The colonel said: ‘I wish I had my voice a minute, so I could tell | this crowd what utter contempt I hold them in.” Then folding up his manuscript he left the stand. The The action of the audience is con-|@ demned by the chairman of the Democratic committee as well as the Republicans, who were present, and | they declare it is an outrage and | disgrace to Henry county. | Chester, Pa, Sept. 1.—A slight | earthquake shock was felt here about | 6 o'clock this morning. Houses! trembled perceptibly and pictures! and other things suspended on the| walls fell from their fastenings. | Herrick engaged him in conversa. tion, when suddenly Phillips seized his arms and Wilkinson put on the hand cuffs. Fraker thought he had been arrested for killing game out of season, as Phillips was also game warden. When the warrant was read to him he was thunderstruck, but admited his identity at once. His nerve, however, never deserted him for an instant, and he discussed the matter philosophically, saying: “Well, I'm, glad I don’t have to worry about it any more.” He was brought to Tower, arriy- remained in charge of the officer over night, and this morning was taken to the Iron Range depot, where he boarded the train for Du- luth. He confessed that he was the party for whom they were in search and expressed his willingness to return to Kansas without the formal. ity of requisition papers. He ac- cordingly proceeded on his journey, in charge of the officers, without be- ing taken to either the county jail or the central police station in this city. Sheriff Butchart, in speaking of the affair last night. said that he re. garded it as strange that the man was not brought to the fcounty jail. “He was arrested,” said he, “by one I Was Helpless Ten weeks with acute rheumatism. My right arm was withered away to skin snd. bone and.I had almost lost the use of it. a A friend advised Hood's Sarsaparills, which I took, and when the first bottle was used I could see and feel a great change.

It is possible that when he reaches Kansas he may set up the claim that he was hurried through Minnesota without being given an opportunity to contest his removal from this state.” About six months ago Fraker ar- rived at Tower, accompanied by a servant, and soor lacated a het in the woods. where he has since been | engaged in hunting. He occasion-/ ally visited town to purchase sup- plies and secure his mail. It was through letters addressed to him that he was finally tracked to his hiding place. Fraker is a swell dresser. He was seen at the depot as he passed through Duluth, and admitted his identity, as well as his guilt. He says when the accident occurred he swam to the opposite shore, unseen by his companions, and upon land- ing thought of his sisters, who were poor had large families, and, dread- ing to face certain charges that had been made against his morality, he decided to disappear. On his per- son was found a charm of some kind, sewed in a couple of pieces of calico, which he said had been given him by a woman. He asked them not to open it, and they complied with his request. Shot Wite and Daughter. Decatur, Iil., Sept. 1.—George P. Allen this morning shot his wife and step-daughter, Minnie Defenbaugh. The latter's wounds are fatal. The wife will recover. Allen sat on the porch after the shooting and kept his neighbors off with a revolver for an hour. Finally he called for to- bacco and a match. They were taken to him, and as he lighted his pipe he was overpowered. He is now in jail. He refuses to say why he tried tokillthe women. Friends who know him and who say he 18 an industrious and peaceable mar, say he was overheated last week. They think he is mow insane. He moved from East St. Louis six months ago. Persecuting Misstonaries. London, Sept. 1—The Times cor- respondent at Shanghai says Chinese Christians are being brutally harried near Hing Hwa, province of Fo| Kien. Houses have been burned and property and cattle lifted. One per- son was fatally wounded. The ;magistrate refused to interfere, al though he was five times requested to do so. He had published an ambiguous proclamatior referring to the Ku Cheng massacre and in- | citing a rising against the Christians. | Worse troubles are expected. | Coal Miners’ Wages Advanced. | Nashville, Tenn.
