MURDER TRIAL.

on trial three desperate villains, whose
lust for land led them on to a most bru-
tai murder. Their poor victims had sue
cessfully jumped a claim which they
meant to absorb to themselves, and
after swearing vengeance, and failing
| in other outrageous attempts at ejeetment,
one dark night they threw torpedo down
his shanty stNepipe, scared him out
| doors, and while running for his life,
shot and bruised him. There was great
crowd, of all kinds of people, at the
court house; two famous criminal attor
torney's had been imported "to attack
and Defend" and the judge was evident
ly of the ''seven to eight" stripe of ermine
Public oplnion( that's what most everybody
said,) was that the father would get
clear because he had money, but in all
probability the son and hired man, whom
he set on to do the bloody job, would see
hemp or the prison. A good many
grangers were in attendance, and you
could see that that they were ready to
smell powder to have justice rend-
cred to the living and the
dead They caught every word of
the evidence on the hay-fork of their in
telligence, and their eyes shone and snap
ped like those of business watch dog. l
could not help but notice that silent
listening grasshopper, with extended
feelers, sat in dignity upon every grang-
er's coat, blouse or hat. | asked an Afri-
can, whose head seemed whitened by the
gray frost of centuries, how he accounted
for this wonderful insect instinct. "Why,
kernel" he said, ''doan't de blessed good
old book say, 'Ebsry OK knoweth his
massar's tread, and cherry mule him own
er's stall?'"
POPULAR RETREAT.
Just east of Lawrence is Bismarck
Grove, the popular watering place or
amusement ground of Kansas. 1t consists
of quite number of acres, covered with
large cottonwood trees, situated in big
bend in the Kow river, which
have all been fenced in for
conventions, picnics, fairs and horse
trots 1t is supplied with huge pavilion,
eating houses, race track, ETC., and already
the August the prominent Greenbackers
of this country, including Weaver, De la
Martyr s. Co., have GRATED therein to
large gatherings of the Kansan popula-
ton, with an eloQuence and determina-
ton calculated ION their part to make
every national bank shake in its shoes.
Aside from the long haired fellows who
go round to hold umbrellas over the
heads of the prominent to keep off sun
stroke, who really want something new
but cannot tell what it is, the brains of
the party seem only to be advocating that
our government put hay-seed in
its hair, abolish national bank middle
manism, and become financial granger,
making its own paper money and issuing
it directly to the people, and keeping
such issue in its immediate control for
the good of the great body polite in both
times of national prosperity as well as
depression. Their brains are looking for
office, and continuance in Office, while
they are thus earnestly working for the
dear people and sacrificing their lungs
| this hot weather on the altar of outdoor
patriotism; to which may be added, in
the case of Weaver, fifty dollars day
raised by the faithful, who are laboring
for conversions to the true faith in their
respective localities. Ben is really a
shrewd, witty and pleasant talking man;
takes well with heterogeneous assem-
blage; and his humorous description OF
how to form national bank, escape
taxation and take in the profits of inter-
est, is as truthful and clean-cut as the
eagles's tail feathers on ournewest coined
| dollar.
The next gathering at Bismark was that
of the unterrified temperance element OF
the State, under the leadership of St.
John, which lasted over several days, ev-
identity to consult as to how the prohibi-
ton law may be more thoroughly en-
forced, which after the great musical ju
bilee, is to be followed by a gigantically
| advertised State critter look, pumpkin
show and horse trot.
MUSICAL JUBILEE.
For many weeks Prof. G. E. Leslie,
with cohort of abide camps and assist
ants. has been teaching and training six
thousand ~ male and female voices in
all the prominent cities and
towns in the State in preparation
for the mammoth musical jubilee at Bis
marck, August Is and 10, on which it is
estimated there will be an attendance of
rising of 100000 people. Of his 5000
singers, he has sold to each singing
book for 81, making profit of from Is to
| so per cent; besides this, he is to have
rich percentage of the funds accruing to
the entire railway system of the State
from the transportation at half fare of
both his singers and the public; added to
this he is to have very generous slice
of the Grove gate money derived for adj
mission to the four concerts, at fifty cents
a head each, with twenty-five cents adj
mission for a team. Added to his ex-
expense for assistants, or teachers, (all
free passed on the railroads. his and their
hotel bills, is the item of importing eight.
soloists from different parts of the coun-
try, who will prefer the honor rendered
them and all expenses paid, as an offset
to salaried recompense.
Truly, ''the laborer is worthy of his
hire especially the brain-worker. Les
lie is no singer, but a thorough organizer,
and although we are not doing it very
'fat'' this summer, it pleases us that he
is on the high road to swoop in big pile
of ducats. Then, again, it will make all
the other Western States green with
jealousy to think that the musical cream
pie, this year, is all on the side of the
Kansans That they are alone going to
have 5000 of their own native warblers
in grand chorus, added to which will be
the melody of eight imported nighten-
gale solists from abroad. Think of it, we
musical snides of Minnesota. Wisconsin.
