Colonel j. r. Hallowell, who paid him "A
graceful compliment, saying that his name
was not only known in every household.
and hoEored in every home in Kansas, but
thai during his twelve years of public ser
vice, he has written his name and that of
Kansas higher and higher on the scroll of
fame, and who has shown that he has a
heart pulsating for the people whom he SO
fully and SO ably represents.
Senator Plumb was in excellent form for
the occasion and delivered speech of two
hours duration. in which he discussed the
prominent topics before the American peo-
pie of this time. Referring to recent
speech by Col. Moonlight, in which that
gentlemen had taken occasion to say that
the fear Of Republicans had not been real
lied since the present administration came
into power-that the rebel war debt had
not been paid. that pensions had not been
refused to Union soldiers, and that the gov
ernment had not in fact been turned over to
the rebels: the speaker admitted that while
this had not all been done, yet Grover

arms against the government, some of
whom had not even taken the trouble to
have their political disabilities removed.

formal demand Of the railroads that the
through rates to Wichita be put back to
where they were last season, or to other
wise add pro rata rate from Kansas City
to Wichita on through frcights. The board
of trade of that city further have appealed
to the courts to dissolve the Missouri or

destruction of the southwestern pool means
the forcing Of the Santa Fe On to Chicago
not only, but will force every eastern road

She had previously attempted to hang her
self as the rope was found around hei

death by drowning herself in Il cstern al
Gil Harrison street, city of Davenport,
Davenport township, Scott county Iowa,
and we do not know how to account for
the wound on her forehead, whether
made by instruments used to get her body
out OF the cistern, or by striking the cis>

and that the rope found after death
around her neck had been placed there by
herself to end her life by strangulation,
