Gabe io Rich Hil Review: “Our County Clerk, Billy Crawford, came mighty near getting marnied Old Settler's day. The licers» were is- sued, the preacher preset and the crowd collected in the office, but at the critical moment he could not find the girl, Was not your fault, was it, Billy, if you did fool a lot of us oid toughs?” The American Clothing House, in the way of completing the furniture in the elegant room, has added a new show case the equal of which is not to be sven this side of St. Louis In the line for which it is intended the case is the handtomest piece of furniture ever shipped to this town Ths entire case aud compartments is made of heavy plate glass. } The team of horses, wagon and harness that this communitya few weeks ago, hes heen recovered.

In the distribution of prizes to old settlers, Uncle Alfred was awarded the sack of flour. As the venerable old man accepted his gift and started off from the speaker stand, he smiled clear behind his ears As he passed out of the crowd an old Aunty hwled him and said: “Alfred, is you gwine to tote dat flour all de way home?” Uncle Al fred, with a smile all over his coun tenance, retorted: “Cose I's gwine to tote it home, what you ‘spose I's _ gwine to do wid it?” fe FOR IRRIGATION. The Delegates to the National Congress Hold a Session. THE OKLAHOMA DELEGATION The Members Working to Secure the Next Place of Meeting at Guthrie—Prof. Emery's rippi Overtiow. sayonthe Missis- Lixcotn, Neb., Sept. 28.—The dele- gates to the sixth annual meeting of the National Irrigation congress are nearly all here and the convention held its first session this afternoon, when the usual speeches of welcome were delivered and organization perfected. The attendance is fairly representative of the arid and semi-arid states. The surprise of the convention is the dele- gation from Oklahoma, which is here with the avowed purpose of securing the gathering of 1838 for Guthrie. This delegation consists « Kleiner, of Oklahoma City, Hen Gl and C. P. Rock, of Stillw tlaims of Boise, Idaho, Portland, Ore., Fort Worth, Tex., San Antonio, Tex., and Omaha, Neb., will also be put forth. The other delegates appear rather indifferent, but seem to think the claims of Oklahoma are worthy of careful consideration. Omaha wants the meeting on account of her exposi- tion next year and Boise puts forth an ep Utah is represented by Dr. Young, a nephew of Brigham Young's son. Col- orado is represented by A. Bb. Moulton, of the land department of the Atchi- son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Kan- sas has George Leis and Prof. J. 8. Emery, of Lawrence; Col. E. R. Moses, of Great Bend, and P. A. Hammett, of Marysville, on the ground alive to her interesta. The Kansas delegates are well to the front in all the arrange- ments and it seems to be generally recognized that Kansas has become one of the great irrigation states of the union, and as such is entitled to dis- tinguished consideration in gatherings of this kind. Missouri has a number of delegates bere, among whom are J. E. Chapin and J. 8. Cooley, of St. Jo- seph. Col. Moses, of Great Bend. Kan., as the chairman of the congress and an irrigationist of national reputation, has a general supervision over all mat- ters, and it is largely due to his con- stant agitation of the subject and his appeals to men in authority that the congress is made possible and so many deiegates are here. A number of the delegates went out to the Bryan home this morning and called on Mr. Bryan, who will address the convention. Prof. Emery, of Law- rence, will, during the congress, sub- mit his essav upon the overflow waters of the Mississippi. This is the one which has taken the prize offered shortly after the overflows last winter. He will also speak on the same subject to-morrow night. Booth-Tucker will also make a talk that same night on his irrigation Salvation army colonies. AN EXTRA SESSION, Gov. Leedy's Friends Say He Will Soon Call the Kansas Legislature Together. Toreka, Kan., Sept. 28.—It is as- serted by those whostand close to Gov. Leedy that Judge Williams’ decision yesterday in the insurance case makes it practically certain that a special session of the legislature will be called. The governor, it is said, has no confi- dence in the supreme court and be- lieves it will sustain Judge Williams. Brooklyn Millions Short. New York, Sept. 25.—The Times says: The examination of the finan- cial departments of the various mu- nicipalities which will be consolidated into Greater New York has revealed a shortage of from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 in Brooklyn. Unless special legisla- tion is obtained at Albany to prevent it, this shortage will be saddled upon the taxpay of the greater city. Wants Insane Criminais Vanged. OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 28.— Prof. David Starr Jordan, in an address at the First Unitarian church, declared that if it is right to execute a sane man for mur- der, it is right to hang an insane one. He held that it is as proper to prevent an insane person or criminal from re- producing his kind as it is to punish him.

A, Kan., Sept. 28.—Homer A. Call, a convict, has been released from the penitentiary—given an uncondi- tional pardon by Gov. Leedy. Call was sent up from Labette county for a term of 14 years for assault upon Laura fiavely, a girl under 1S yearsold. A j week ago Call wrote Gov. Leedy and | told him that he had taken the girl to | souri and was properly married there. He stated that upon his return | the brother of the girl proseeuted him maliciously and had him convicted. Gov. Leedy wrote Call and told him hat if he would send for the girl nd marry her at the peniten- tiary he would pardon him. Call agreed to this, and a few daysagoa | girl appeared at the penitentiary and said her name was Havely. She asked for Calland the two went before Chap- lain Balleau and were married. Call's pardon arrived from the governor the next day and he was free. Since the “marriage” it has developed that the woman who appeared at the peniten- y was not Miss Havely at all, but un imposter. Miss Havely’s brother has written State Auditor Morris that his sister is in Texas, and has not been away from her home; that she is to be married in a few days to a Texas man. Call, however, is free, and he cannot again be placed in jail, as he was tn- conditionally pardoned. M'NAL BATTLE. He Will Invite a Jall Sentence and Bring Habeas Corpus Proceedings. ‘ToreKa, Kan., Sept. 28.—Webb Me- Nall will not issue a license tothe New York Mutual Life Insurance Co. It may be that Judge Williams suspected as much, for he said, in effect, that the company can do business without Mr. MeNall’s license, though the company is entitled toits mandatory injunction. The programme is for MeNall to keep still and wait for an order from Judge Williams to issue the license. The order, if one be issued, is to be put in MeNa desk and left there, but no license is to be issued. In due course of time it is expected that Judge Williams will order Me- Nall to be ested for contempt. If } MeNall is to go to jail and be made as comfortable there as the jail authorities will permit, while Attor- ney-General Boyle shall go to Wash- ington to ask the United States su- preme court for a writ of habeas cor- pus. That would bring the question squarely before the supreme court in a very short period of time. It would bring a decision sooner than anything else. Beyond that there is no pro- gramme. ARTILLERYMEN A Maneuver ofa Light Battery at Topeka Results in a Mishap. Toreka, Kan., Sept. 28,—As battery Fourth artillery of the United rmy at Fort Riley, was giving an exhibition drill at the fair grounds before a large crowd of people, it crossed the race course at a gallop and, when the bugle signaled to counter- march, turned suddenly and started back. One of the caissons was upset and six men thrown to the ground. Privates Brooks and Flum were picked up unconscious, but it is thought they will recover. JURED. Lamar's Death Accidental. Sr. Louis, Sept. 28.—A coroner’s jury decided that Hon. B. F. Lamar, of Pair- land, I. T., whose body was found Mon- day in front of the Gaiety theater with his skull crushed, died from injuries received in falling down a stairway. The testimony of the witmesses went toshow-that Lamar was not murdered, but that his death was accidental. Capt. Quinton Campbell Dead. CutcaGo, Sept. 28.—Capt. Quinton Campbell, the veteran newspaper man of Chicago, Kansas City and the south- west, who was stricken by paralysis in the street Friday night, died last even- ing. His grandfather, Chief Justice Todd, was one of the most noted ju- sts of the west. His mother’s sister as Abraham Lincoln's wife. A Heavy Fog Canses Thres Deaths.
