The Murder.

Ben Daniels killed Ed Julian in this
city on Thursday evening last, firing
four shots at Julian, three of the shots
being fred after Julian fell. Julian was
near his place of business. south of the
track, when the shooting occurred. He
was going to an adjoining store to get
some change, and had in his right hand
some silver when the fatal shot struck
him. Witnesses say Daniels approach
ed Julian from the rear, giving him no
warning. The murderer gave himself
up to the city marshal, and was placed
in jail On Friday coroner's inquest
was held before Coroner Plumer, and
jury composed of Geo. B. Cox, T. f.
Sturtevant, 2. R. Hobble, Henry Koch,
S. Fields and George Logan, gave a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death from pistol shot fred by Ben
Daniels, and that the shooting was
done with fclonious intent. On Sat
urday preliminary examination was
had before Il. McGarry, Justice Of the
Peace. Several witnesses, who were
eye-witnesses to the shooting, gave in
their testimony. The trial having ad-
journed till Monday morning, the pris-
cner was admitted to bail in the sum
of $4,000 At the conclusion Of the
trial on Monday morning, Daniels was
admitted to bail in the sum Of s25, 900.
This horrible murder caused consid
cradle excitement in the city. Julian
had sworn out warrant for the closing
of Daniel whisky place; and the writ
had been served on Daniels on the day
Of the shooting. A bitter feeling had
existed between the parties for some
time, and the elimination Of the feud
was had in blood Julian had exer-
cised a good deal of influence on the
day of the last city election, and it is
possible that his efforts Oh that day had
aggravated the feeling between himself
and Daniels. Julian and Daniels had
places Of business adjoining each other
Julian kept a restaurant, and Daniels
saloon. The latter was assistant
city marshal in this city during the last
two years. On Julians body was found
pistol, but at the time he was fired on
he was in no condition to use it, his
right hand containing money and the
pistol being placed between his body
and pants at the left waist. This her
rible affair caused deep Indignation
among our citizens who are in favor Of
law and order, and the protection of
lives and property.
At the instance Of County Attorney
Milton the bond was reduced to $4,000.
This sum Daniels obtained, and was
set at liberty.
Col. I. S. Jones assisted in the pros
ecution and made stirring address at
the examination.

The Average Citizen.

We want to write word or two for
the average citizen. lie follows the
even tenor Of his way, day after day,
making an earnest hopeful battle for a
livelihood for himself and those depen-
dent upon him.
He is law abiding, pays his heavy
taxes without much grumbling, and
discusses questions Of the day with his
neighbor when they meet in town or at
the freside, in friendly way.
He favors good schools, pays good
wages, wants his children to be honest
and manly, and helps his wife to bear
her burdens.
The average Kansas woman, God
bless her, performs her daily duties un-
complainingly. She hasn't SO much to
interest her as her husband has, whose
life is outdoors, but she has more pa
tience and endurance, and she more
than does her part in helping maintain
the family and build up society.
But the average citizen gets but lit
tie notice from the world. A few mo-
nopolize the public mind. Too often
it happens that adventures, dishonest
and ghb-tongued, lecture these good
people, and many applaud the "smart-
ness of these liyers off the bounty Of
the public.
The tine is not lacking of examples
Of unworthy 'reformers" WHO have
Travelled about among the people, scold-
their bettcrs. on big salaries
We have faith in the average citizen
He is patriotic, pays his debts and
minds bis own business. He is too
credulousa at times, but that is fault
that leans to virtue side When we
hear dire predictions by such as have
lately been unmasked, we cannot help
saying to the average citizen: With
your patriotism have little more man
hood. The times are not so desperate
as pictured by Mrs. Molloy and other
agitators of the ''wingless angel and
giided saint sort. You love your coun-
try; SO does your neighbor and it is
safe.
The spirit of progress fills the world,
and year by year the shackles are drop
ping off from limbs and souls.
In times Of danger remember that
the citizens will take care of the coun-
try as in the days of the past
Manhattan Republic.

How to Retard the Progress
of a town:

Oppose improvements.
| Run it down to strangers.
Sheer at its newspapers.
Mistrust its public men.
Go to some other town to trade.
Do not invest cent. Lay your mon
ey out somewhere else.
Lengthen your face when a stranger
talks of locating in 1t.
If a man wants to buy your property
charge him two prices.
If be wants to buy any body e]se's,
interfere and discourage him.
Be particular to discredit the mo-
tives of public spirited citizens.
Do not support the newspapers. Ex-
plain to the editor how much better
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat is.
Ifyou want to read the local paper,
borrow it of neighbor, and after you
have finished it, ask him what he wants
to take such a measly sheet for.
Oppose street improvements. You'll
thus save one or two dollars in taxes.
Run down other parts of your town
than your owe
If you can "hog" everything, judge
every body else by yourself and accuse
them of dong it.
Refuse to see the least merit in any
scheme that doesn't directly benefit
you.
IF your municipal officers propose a
measure for the towns good, fight it.
The newspapers are simply mendi
capts. You will be able to retard
things if you take frequent occasions to
impress this upon those with whom you
come in contact
Should you happen to patronize To-
cal paper, let the editor know you do it
simply to help him along.
Do your best to divide the town into
factions, and keep one faction fighting
the other.
By carefully following these rules,
good healthy kicker, growler and OBJ
structionist can do wonders toward
keeping desirable people out Of town,
and disgusting public spirited ones in
it so that they will want TO get away.

A gentleman who recently went to
southern California, writing to friend
in Topeka concerning the thousands
that are fiocking to California on the
cheap rates, says:
Many young and some old ones came
from Kansas on the cut rates who had
barely dollar left when they got here.
They expected soft snaps had been
specially saved up for them, and found
too late that the natives nabbed the
nice jobs, saving nothing for new arri-
walls but hard labor. Very many of
these strapped ones are striving al
ready to start back to the land of ba-
con aud soft beds, some swearing to
stay there forever if they Can get once
out Of this safe. Fine flowers and a
state famous for manufacturing million
aires is good thing to dream of, and
delightful to talk about in zero weather
in Kansas. but breadless and beefless
stomach knocks the feeling for fine
flowers out Of a young kansan SO quick
that be first feels queer, and if rrofane,
is soon melodious on a harp Of oaths
at himself first, then at California, and
lastly at the railroads and the cussed
rates that put it into his fool soul to
start for such an internal sunny slope.
Some are laying aronnd quietly waiting
for some friend to furnish funds to
fetch them back to more blessed coun-
try than California will ever be. Anoth-
er set are looking at what there is to be
be seen, but are keeping lively look
out in the northwest corner Of their eye
for lower cut rates than FIVE dollars to
Kansas City-about from two to four
bits is what they are ready to bite at
any minute.
