CERAM AE NENNA A cucu San noeE Nees ; j * SHOU Mr. DeArmond on the Minority’s Pol- icy at This Season. Washington, Jan. 5.—The Repub- lic correspondent this evening asked Judge DeArmond what in his judg- ment should be the policy of the democratic minority in congress during the present session. Mr. | DeArmond replied: | “To my mind tbe right policy for} us is to be aggressive; to force the fighting; to expose the hypocrisy | and the political cowardice of our| opponents; to display here the en-| thusiasm and the confidence in the justice and ultimate triumph of our cause which animates those who send us here. They believe that re- publicanista of the brand of Hanna and Company, and with the guaran- tee of Wall street upon it, is wrong and dangerous. They be lieve also that democracy such as Bryan preaches and the masses of the people, free from the taint of corruption and the pressure of coer- cion, supported in ‘96, is right, and that its sway would be benificent. The republicanism, wrong and dan- gerous, is the substitution of correct principles and bad methods. When a president and congressman are to be elected, the people decide the matter by their ballots. But after the election, when the president is in the executive mansion and the congress has assembled in the great capitol, then the chosen for the peo. ple should not trim nor falter nor compromise; they should keep up the fight and never let a good cause sufter for lack of valiant champions. At least, that is my conviction. If the politicians were as courageous as the people, the gain to the party and to the country would be very great. Somes seem to realize that the democratic party must be aggressive en ! au more than one red sk sentenc was half of man gave his name as Cairo. tears. a tramp. ness manina good-sized town in he had just bought in Pottawatomie aty, Oklab The people are wildly ma d and life may be taken i t paymer His Sentence Was Reduced.

She was bright and gay and seemed just the sort of a girl any man would wantto make his wife. Well, I married her. The wedding was one of the largest and grandest that country town ever knew. At the wedding we had wine —the sparkling sort. A toast was suggested tomy wife. We drank the wine from her little white satin slipper That was th? beginning. She had tasted wine. She liked the taste too well. One day whenI came home from my cftice I found her drunk and asleep on the floor. The end soon came. A good looking traveling man visited the town. He met my wife without my knowledge. One evening when I came home my wife had gone with the traveling man. I tried hard to bear up, but could not. I began drinking, failed rather than conservative. The re- publicans, once so radical, may be conservative now, for if they can perpetuate existing wrongs their masters will not complain much. But those who followed the stand. ard of democracy and Bryan in the last national campaign demanded and are still demanding important changes in laws and administration. If not aggressive, the minority in congress at once will throw away golden opportunities and sacrifice great principles.” Indian Kills White Woman. Ear!lboro, Ok., Jan. 5.—A lynching is probable if the Seminole Indian wbo murdered Mrs. Jule Leard is caught. Yesterday morning the S-year-old son of Jule Leard ap- proached P. H.Cooper, a storekeeper at Maud, Ok., and told him that his mother had been murdered by In- dians. Mr. Cooper summoned his neighbors and hastened to the Leard place, four miles into the Seminole nation. When they arrived they found the woman’s body in the door way of the cabin partly eaten by hogs. The children say that late in the afternoon Tuesday a strange Indian came to their place and asked to borrow asaddle. He was refused the saddle and told to leave but as he lingered around the house ina suspicious way Mrs. Leard entered the cabin, took down a Winchester rifle and tried to shoot it off and scare him away. The cartridge failed to explode. The demonstration ap- peared to frighten him and he left. Late in the afternoon just as it was growing dark, Mrs. Leard, with her babe in her arms, stepped cut of the} house and the same Indian, jumping | in business, and am now a tramp. | pers yns in } to day when Assassin W of ble was runtoearth. At the supreme | moment, when it appeared th mob would tear their victim to pieces, the desperate man blew out his brains with the same weapon with whicb be yesterday assassinated his brother, George Baker, and his brother's wife. The remains of the murdered couple were found in their residence near town yesterday. They had been sbot by an assassin, who fired through the window. Nota clew was left except the footprints of the supposed assassin in a nearby field | The prominence of the murdered} couple brought out several hundred | people, who formed into pcsses and hunted the whole country. The tracks of the supposed murderer were guarded until midnight last night, when bloodhounds were se- cured and put to work. Two great Russian hounds took the trail at once. Several hundred excited people followed the animals, the men armed with all kinds of | weapoos. Soms were mounted but | many were afoot. From the win- dow where the fatal shots were fired the dogs ran toa prarie, along a} ravine and straight to a barn oa the premises of the brother of the mur- dered min. A muffled report was heard within the structure as the crowd drew near and the buil og} was completely surrounded by tie! With drawn weapons a dozen mob men rushed to the doors of the structure Within, lying on the floor, was the dead body of William Baker. NO DOUBT OF THE BROTHER'S GUILT. Many was at first inclined to Judge, please do not be so hard on me.” The Justice’s court room was fill- ed with men, the majority of them big, rough fellows, but not a dry eye was there in the crowd when the trmp finished his story. “Well, [ll reduce that sentence to 15 days if yeu will solemnly promise me that when you are re- leased you will brace up and try and make a man of yourself once more.” The promise was readily given. Wallace was taker to Belleville last evening. Onthetrain he told the officer that he had resolved to quit drink and would try toreform. He is 40 years old and was at one time a handsome man. Tesin’s New Light. New York, Jan. 6.—Nikola Tesla an- nounces an important discovery. He says that he has perfected vacuum tubes of such illuminating power that they may be used to light houses, and that they will enable the photographer to work by right as well as by day. The results which Mr. Telsa has achieved have been attained by the use of his vacuum tubes and his The light which he is able to pro duce by this means is as bright as that of the noondaysun. By its use every l'ne of the object photograph ed may be maie to stand out clearly and distinctly. It is well known that it is difficult to secure a light which will penetrate fog.

He! then took the babe from the mother's arms and pitched it and the broken gun in atthe open door. The little children appear to know little of what happened after that, except they say that cther Indians appeared and that as long as it was licht enough to see they appeared to be dragging the body around over the yard. At the same time the crime! was committed Mr. Leard was ab. pose of demonstrating the practica- bility of Mr. Telsa’s invention. A Doughty Edite Omaha, Neb., Jan of G. M.

Neigh- bors had seen him leave his home the night before the double murder and he had not been seen since, The only motive tor the crime was a quarrel Gecrze had with his brother recently over a piece of land. He was known as an erratic sort of a fellow, but had b2en a farmer in the neighborhood for years, and bad never been guilty of acrime. It is supposed that he took refuge in the stable temporarily and expected to escape from the country after the excitement had subsided. When he found that the dogs had followed him to bis hiding placa he had} hastily pulled cff o2e of his boots so thet he could pull the trigger of his | shotgun with his toe.
