They said it was an invitation to the color. | ed delegates to prosecute them for damages. They went to the league committee on hotel accommodations and protested. Concerted action then followed, with the result that the negroes can not find lodging places, nor even a reputable place to eat. “This afternoon I received half a dozen letters,” said committeeman Long, “from parties who said they would gladly receive all colored del- egates during the convention. I was greatly relieved for atime, but on investigation, learned they were keepers of disorderly houses. This only added insult to the injury al- ready done.” Major C. C. Rainwater, a member of the Business Men’s League, which went to washington and of the local entertainment committee, is quite as much displeased with the turn affairs have taken as is any member of the local committee. He with several other members of the local commit- tee, have been hunting for a place to entertain the negro delegates, but without success. Perry Heath and ex-congressman Thompson of Ohio, who are here in the interests of Major McKinley, are quite as much disturbed as the national committee. They have al- ready been in telegraphic communi cation with Marcus A. Hanna all day but as yet no solution of the problem has been reached. TRAIN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Three Cars ef the Dixon Relief Outfit Are Destroyed. Wichita, Kansas, June 7 —At 4 o'clock this morning, Dixon’s train of forty cars of corn, which was to be started tomorrow evening for the St. Louis convention by ex Senator Ingalia, was struck by lightning at the little town of Oatville, five miles outside of this city, where it was decorated and made up ready to be run into this city to-night. Three cars with their cargo of corn were burned to the ground, as was also the Missouri Pacific depot. Oatville is alittle town, made up entirely of Populists, but. notwith- standing that, the people rushed eut of their beds to a man, formed them- selves intoa bucket brigade, and, dipping the accumulated rainwater from the ditches on either side of the track, where there was intense $800 worth of decorations and 26,- Mr Hammond, manager of the Mrs Stephen's two little grand- children, Ira and Josie, from Denver, Colo., have arrived on a two months’ visit.

Since then Mr. Reese | has taken a change for the better. His son, Mr. Zan Reese, to clear up the unpleasant gossip of the town, has told the story from which the rumors grew, a story of a tragedy which darkened his father’s life. The story in his own language is this: “My father came to this country from Vermillion county, Ill, in 1867, accompanied by his wife, sister and eight children, five of whom were sons. | “Shortly after his arrival my fath- | er, with his two eldest sons, Mr. | Nathan and a Mr. Westfall, engaged | in a deer hunt.
