Turley returned the $250 to Stevey after he found out the true facts in the case, and Stevey instituted the investigation which resulted in Bryant’s indictment. Stevey was compelled to borrow money in order to save his farm from a_foreclosure of the mortgage, which was hawked about from one place to another, The original morteage could not be negotiated, as _Bryant secured another, covoring all of Stevey's chattels, and this fnally showed up in the German bank of Davenport, and Stevey had a hard fight and a heavy bill of costs to pay to keep from being left penniless, Such is the story told before the grand jury, and Bryant will have to explain hiy actions in court.

Tues- day forenoon Rorobaugh visited the justice's oftice, and wanted the woman arrested for obtaining goods under false pretenses. It trauspired that the alleged crime was com- mittad in Omaha ahd ho was_informed that he would have to prosecute the case where the crime was committed. He thereupon announced that he *‘guessed he had better settie it himself.” The court informed him that he could do as hie pleosed, as the court was not administering justice in advancs, but that if there was any trouble he would tuke & hand later on. Rorobaugh persovered in his intention, and went to the woman's house and gave her an unmerciful beating. He will prepare his defense in the county cylinder.

S THE ELDER HAD ONE TOO. A Kansas Editor Kelates the Inci- dents of a Trip to Kansas Oity. A short time since the editor of the Kinsley Mercury took a business trip to Kansas City, and unexpectedly and much to his gratifleation has the pleas- ure of the company of Elder Stillwell on the way down. The elder isa bril- liant conversationalist and is besides well posted rot only on the current top- ics of the day but in ancient history as well. He is an original thinker, too. and a profound reasoner and forms his own opinions and is not afraid to advocate whatever theory he may hold on any given topie. Ie is an old time Kansan and is enthusiastic in his conviction that Kan is the greatest state in the union, morally, so- ially, agriculturally, and in fact every way but politically—he is a third party prohibitionist. He is honest and con- scientious in his political convictions, however, hence no fair-minded man can find fault with him on that score. He helped to plant prohibition in our state constitution, and is proud of the grand work it has accomplished—we feel sure that no candid man can liston to his arguments without. to a_certain extent adopting theml though from our standpoint he is too ere im his con- demoation of the republicam party. However, he has the same right to his opinions that we have to ours, and it would certainly be in “bad form’ for us to critize him because of his advocacy of what he counceives to be right. The elder metwith a painful accident ou the trip—one of the car windows dropping on his right hand,vadly mash- ing his little finger, Being of a nerv- ous disposition the puin annoyed him much. There was nothing for him to do, however, but “grin and bear” it. Weo had a pint of good whisky with us, whick Mrs. H. had slipped into our va- lise as a preventative against the bad effects of impure water. but knowing the elder’s prohibition tendencies we dared mnot offer him an Zrew so s told us that good whisky he would take 1t. He thought it~ would quiet his nerves. Of ‘course, then, after explain- ing how wo happened to have it along, we opened up our valise and “trotted” out the bottle. He took a long pull and under its influence Rich- ard was soon himself again. It was nct long before his finger began to pain him again and he bad to have another drink and then another. By this time our little supply was exhausted, but fortu- nately under the inspiring influence of what he had alveady drank he remem- bered that he 1 a quurt bottle in bis own valise. This was produced and soon we were as jolly a pair as y ever encountered on a Santa train—the only hindrance to enjoyment being the threat of the ductor to throw us off the car unless we kept quiet. The elder the passeagers with a_few choice songs, all having more or less bearing on the temperance question, such as *When young I had a fortune,” **Old rosin the bow,” ete., and was just in the midst of a profound prohibition speech, when the train pulled up at a station rathes suddenly and tumbled him full length the aisle; and as it was getting late in the night, or rather, early in tho morning, he went to sleep right where he fell, We arvived in Kansas City about 7 in the morning and a good warm break- fast put us both **on our pins’ again, after which we saw nothing more of the elder until late in the evening. He was standing 1n front of the Gillis opera house earncstly urging a lamppost to call on him if he ever came to Kinsley, but advising it never to part: flowin’ bowl or look upon the wine when it is red. our con- R :ned Her Most.

Woman Saffrage and a Secret Ballot ~Waterways Placed Under State Control—Railroad Legisintion ~Labor and Tax Prepared For Statehood. CnryENNE, Wyo., Oct 2. —[Special to Tns Brr.]—In the constitution for the proposed stuto which is now presented to the peoplo of Wyoming for adoption, the existence of God is recognizod without any circumlocu- tion. The most daring innovation that has been made is in recognizing the right to suf- frage without regard to race, color or sex, thus emphasizing faith in woman suffrago, which has been part of the territorial stat- utes for the past tienty years, To acquire citizonship hereafter the applicant must be able to read the constitution. Up to the present time the door has been left wide open for frauds in elections. More stringent methods ure contem plated. Herctofore all vallots used in eloc tions might be counterfeited and mixod tick: ets were placed at the polls under the head- ing of “democratic’’ or “republican,” as the case might be. Should the state be ad mitted under this constitution, the state and county governments wiil print all the tickets, which will contain the numes of all reguiarly nomi- inated or announced candidates, There must ndt ouly be secret balloting, but the utmost secrecy in proparing the baliot. In a word, # modified edition of tie Australian system of balloting is adopted. The question 01 & Separate supremo court aroused & wood deal of opposition on the score of imercased expense, but it was de- cided to have a Supreme court _consisting of three judges, with not more thuan four until the state has an assessed valuation of $100,~ 000,000 There will be four district judges.

These stories, more or less apoery have now been supple- mente genuine occurrence which took place at the Hotel Drouot the other dny. A sale of some deconsed porson’s goods and chattels was going on. The Tots comprised a few pictures, dingy and dusty und 1n cracked old framces, Among these was a small painting, executed on a panel, and representing a drunken soldier at & tavern door. It was signed in the corner with the ini- tial M, surmounted with a capital E turned upside down. [t was bought by a group of the Black band for #20, and was afteeward disposed of to a I'rench gentleman for #30. The pur- chaser took his new acquisition to M. Bernheim, one of the leading art ex- perts of Paris, 1o ask him what he thought of it. A very good example of Meissonier’s work,” quoth M. Bern- heim. *If you want to sell it L will give you 34,000 for it at once.” Off hurried the owner of the picture to Meissonier himself to ask if the paintings were really execated by = him, “Ce tainl; it s my work,” re- sponded the artist. “I painted it somewhere between 1860 and 1865 I should say, to judge by the monogram with which it is signed,” 1Its owneris quite beside himself with delight at his lucky *“find.” But what about the heirs of the deceased man, the original owner of the picture, and bow came it that none of the official experts attached to the Hotel Drouot had sense enough to vecognize the worck of a famous living Freunch painter ?
