Tuthill yesterday afternoon order- ed Mayor Carter H. Harrison dis charged from custody in connection with any responsibility for the loss of life in the Iroquois fire. The judge declared the mayor was in no wise gui.ty or liable, and that the coroner's jury had been unjust to him. In part Judge Tuthill said: “] find that there were gross viola tions, not only of thecity ordinances, but of common rules of safety that anybody without any expert knowl: edge would have said were absolutely essential at the Iroquois. But how the mayor, who is simply at the head of the city government, could be hold responsible for any __ misconduct on his part in view of this evidence, I cannot conceive. It seems to me it would have been just as rea- sonable to say that because an insane asylum was burned the gov ernor-could be held over by a coro ner’s jury for being a party. a crimi nal party. to such loss of life, and held over criminally to a grand jury ~< because forsooth, an insane asylum, under the charge of one of his ap- pointees, the warden, had been burn ed.” ROBBER KILLED BY DRUGGIST Pet Dog Awakened Deichman in Time to Shoot Effectively.

MEXICAN Bryan Has No Favorite. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 27.—W. J Bry- an was asked this evening if the Daily Commoner, which he will publish in St. Louis during the Democratic na- tional convention, would advocate the candidacy oi any particular aspi- rant for the Presidential nomination. He said: “Tt will not. It will simply advo- eate Democratic principles.” He continued: “I do not care to discuss any- body’s candidacy. I have no favor- ities. All that I desire is that the candidate bea man whose Democracy is so known that it will not be a sub- ject of inquiry or discussion during the campaign, and whose fidelity to the principles of Democracy will not. be questioned after the election. I simply want to do what I can to pro- tect the party from any confidence game that may be attempted on the voters.” Shops May go to Sedalia. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 27.—It is stated on good authority that the Missouri Pacific management has finally decided on Sedalia as the lo- cation for the new Missouri Pacific shops, which are to be builtat a cost of $1,500,000. Under the condi- tions agreed upon Sedalia is to give acash bonus of $200,000, and of this amount it is said that $140,000 has been pledged, and that the banks have agreed to raise the balance. It is report d that the railroad com- pany will discount the bonus at 6 per cent, for cash, receiving} $183,- 000. The company agrees to work no less than 1,600 employes at Se dalia at the shops. The bankers of Sedalia are busy raising the money to donate as @ cash bonus, and it is said until the bonus is secured the Sedalia people will keep the matter quiet. Democratic Banquet. Thedinner in New York City on the evening of the 4th inat., given in honor of George B, MeClellan, the newly installed Mayor, was attended by a large number of prominent and influential D »mocrata, W. Bourke Cockran acted astoas - master, and in introducing the Hon David A. DeArmond, who was one cf the speakers, said of him: “Gentlemen, the ruling note of this feast {8 reunion of the Democratic party. I have the pleasure to intro- duce now a gentleman, who, during the past ten years, was on the oppo- site side from many of us, and those of us who felt the weight of his blows in opposition are the keenest in re joicing that they henceforth will be delivered at our enemies. I have the pleasure of introducing that splendid type of Western citizenship—a stal- wart champion of Demoeracy, an ornament of the House of Ropresent- atives, David A. DeArmond, of Mis- souri.”” Now it seems strange that the dis- tinguished toastmaster did not know that Mr. DeArmond’s blows have all ways been “delivered at our ene- mien.” If “during the past ten years” Mr. Cockran or others like him, “felt the weight of Mr DeArmond’s blows,” it oust have been because they stood too near “our enemies.”” Our Con- gressman is a hard fighter, and he strikes straight from the shoul:er, and in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 he may have thought “all coons look alike to me.”—Clinton Democrat. | Farmers Capture Robbers.

Michigan City, Ind., Jan. 28,.—The death of Mise Susan Deering, an ec centric lady 76 yeara old, of Buchan jan, reveals an interesting story. A quarter of a century ago two middle- aged women took up their residence in Buchanan, but neither of them were at home to callers. In fact, neither of the women ever went down town, their errands being performed by their niece, Misa Kate Deering,who made her home with them, In time the explanation of their seclusion leaked out. In their youth the sis- ters lived in New York city with their father. The young ladies were fond of dancing, which was obnoxious to the father. One night they attended a ball contrary to his wishes, On their return they found their father Jead, and through remorse have | lived a life of seclusion ever since. Aj few weeks ago one of thesisters pass- ed away, and to-day the other fol- lowed her. Suit Involves Whole Town. Muscogee, I. T., Jan. 28.—A suit is pending before the Dawes Commis sion, which involves the title to the entire townsite of Boynton, a town of 700 inhabitants twenty miles west of Muscogee. The 160 acres on which the town was laid out was allotted to a minor Indian, now dead. With the tangle of restrictions that cover the inher- itance of land titles, the people who have built their business houses and residences upon this land, fear they will never be perfect title and in order to do so have petiti in ed the Dawes Commisin to set aside the allotment and make a sovern- ment townsite of it. The Creek Na- tion is opposing this on the ground that the commission has tak+n the matter under advisement. The prop erty involved is worth over a million dollars. ‘bin signst re is on every box of the genuin. Laxative B-oma-Quiaine tabiee the remedy the: -uren » cold im ems de | Offers to Sell Antitoxin.

The prisoner listened unmoved as sen- tence was passed. His attorneys made a vigorous effort to secure a new trial, and took an appeal to the supreme court, when these applica- tions were denied. Dawson's crime was committed on the 4th of last month. Just thirty days from the deste of the shooting he was on trial and two days later was convicted. He belongs to one of the most prom- {nent families in Monroe county. A broken engagement caused him to shoot Mies Hartman. Asserted That Waiter Inherits $1,500,000.

I had forgotten him almost entirely when I received the word that I was one of the heirs.” The Catholic University at Wash ington broadens its policy avd will add a department of pedagogy and several other features in the next year. ; nnn BRYAN’S PARAMOUNT ISSUE. ‘Shall the Money Changers Rule the Country?” the Question. New York, Jan, 30,—William Jon- nings Bryan announced last night his idea of the paramount issue. It is neither gold nor silver; itis “wheth- erornot the money changers shall rule this country.” In the fave of this issue he is willing that sixteento one be relegated to the background. Up to this time Mr. Bryan has con- sistently refused to pronounce upon the probable relative importance which the various questions would assume during the coming presiden- tia! eampaign. “Thave believed ever since the 2900 campaign,” he said, “that it isno longer a question of gold or rilver. Icis the larger question of whether or not the money changers shall rule the country. The silver question is not of paramount importance now; nor is that of laber or trusts. ltisa larger question and includes them all, What measure for the relief of the masses is there that they (the money ehangers) do not oppor? Do you know of ans? “Whether a measure is proposed for the benefit of labor or for the destruction of the trusts or whatnot, 8) it be for the benefit of the plain people, itis opposed in Wall street, What is the use of a party fighting trusts when bankers sit in Wallstreet with their vaults full of watered stock and contribute to the cin paignfond? Orwhat isthe use of es- pousing the cause of labor when its enemies sit high in the councils of the part)?” bese pronouncements were given apparently on a sudden impulse, af- ter he had declined repeatedly to dis- cuss the matter from any point of view and had parried every question bearing thereon. Avked what comment he had to make on the statement by Jobn Sharp Williams, minority leader in the House of Representatives at Washingto-, that the free silver issue is dead, he propoun. ed this query in return: “There are tens of thousands of people who- express opinions about me almost daily, I presume. Sup- pose I were to commence tocomment on them all, what time would I have for anything else? No, I do not care to discuss other persons’ opinions,” —_—_—_ Midshipmen Ordered Home.
