PECK'S SPEECH.

The first Republican rally of the
season was held at the Opera House in
lola last Friday night, and was COM
plete success. Geo. r. Peck, of Tope-
ka, was the speaker, and when, after
music by the band and a song by the
Blaine and Logan Glee Club, he was
introduced to his audience by chair
man Foust, he found the house crowd
ed from stage to stairway.
Even if it were possible, there would
probably be 10 need to give detailed
account of the speech. Mr.. Peck is
noted as one of the most easy and
graceful men on the platform and as a
witty, forcible and entertaining speak
er. All of these qualities were fully
displayed, to the unbounded satisfac-
ton of at least the republican portion
of the audience. From the beginning
to the end of his speech, he was inter-
rupted with hearty and prolonged APP
plause and i'm spite of the terrific heat,
no one left the room during the whole
of his two-hours speech. No attempt
was made at a long and exhaustive
argument Of the questions at issue,
the speaker realizing that it would be
impossible to hold an audience on so
warm an evening through speech of
that nature. He contented himself
therefore with casting his shining ar
rows of wit, wisdom and ridicule hith-
er and thither at the many
weak points of the enemy's
armor, making a very telling
as well as an entertaining.
speech. He protested against
the democratic claim
that they should only be judged by
the history they made under Jefferon
and jackson, or by that of the past
two years. He claimed that it was per-
fectly legitimate to question them con-
corning their entire history. and he did
question them in way that scorched.
Mr.. Peck has very great command
of pathos, both in words and tone, and
we venture that tears came to the eyes
of many an old soldier rs he told of
the man that came back out of the
smoke and dust of the main engage
ment in front of Atlanta and called
out rs he passed the reserves: "It's
awful hot down there, boys, awful
hot down there. But Old Logdn's
there aad he's cuertdstingy sdiirdtm'
'em'
We were disappointed that Mr.
Peck did not give more attention to
strictly State politics, and are con-
fident that when he began his speech,
he fully intended to discuss the State
issues thoroughly. But as he himself
said, he got started on National poll
tics and forgot to return to State mat
ters. But the speech as whole was
very acceptable and when the speaker |
took his seat, the appreciation of the
audience was attested by hearty and
long continued applause.
Hon. f. H. Funston was present |
and as soon as Mr.. Peck closed, he
was loudly called for. He responded
IN few we'll chosen remarks, and af-
ter another song by the glee club and
more music by the band, the meeting
adjourned with three rousing cheers
or the whole ticket.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a goldwatch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast DIFF
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por.
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished BY
the James Boss Gold Watch Case .,x y xu
which saves the WASTE of need . q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

retribution has overtaken the Medicine
Lodge murderers and robbers. \ posse
in pursuit yesterday came up with the rob
bers about three.miles from town and cap
tured them after a brief struggle. The
prisoners were brought back To town and
lodged in the calaboose. A crowd gath
cred at 10 o clock last night and attacked
the building. One of the robbers opened
fire, whereupon the crowd riddled him
with bullets. The remaining three were
taken ont, conducted to the edge of the
town and hanged. The excitement of
the crowd was intense. They refus-
ing to pay any attention TO the officers
who endeavered to quiet them. One of
the prisoners begged for mercy but the
others died game. The excitement in-
creased when it was found that two of
the robbers were Henry Brown and Ben
Wheeler, the Marshal and Assistant
Marshal of Caldwell, The other two were
John Wesley and Billy Smith, cowboys
from the rs ranch. All are well known
here. Mr.. PAYNE is reported dying.
The bullet entered his breast over the

than in 1882, and they have no fear for
the result
