she sang several pleasant little songs.
Her support is fair, and some of the

mitted suicide at his home, 2lSS Gam
BILE street, at 1890 o'clock this morn

with a SO calibre pistol. No cause for
the action is known. Mr.. Brock was
out visiting friends last night,

by noise which they thought was
made by the slamming of door, but
on investigation their father was
found dying on the floor Of his room

He remained unconscious until his
death. None Of the family could as
sign any reason for the act. Mr..

Ask The Bull,

"In the mayors mad fight for one
man power, he drives the twelve
horse car of Juggernaut, cracking his
whip over the unfortunate aldermanic
horse. and crushing his victims, re-
reminds me of the story told of the
Irishman and the bull. The Irishman
wanted to sell the bull and drove it to
the market. He had it on a string,
and to make things more secure. he
tied 1T around his wrist. All went
well for time, but presently the bull
wanted to 60 one way and the Irish
man the other. After some struggle
the bull got the best of it and dragged
the Irishman hither and thither at a
mad pace. Soon the Irishman saw a
friend and the friend remarked:
"Where are yez going to, Pat?" On
which the Irishman replied: "a divil
of one of me knows, but ask the
bull" Bryan is the bull and the peo-
pie are like the Irishman, a victim
to his waywardness, but they don't
know where he's dragging them.
Thus spoke Gallagher at the ratifica-
ton meeting.

THAT 10000.

Some Pertinent Remarks Upon
French's Alleged De-
ficiency.
Captain Story, in the course of his
speech at the Young Mems Reform
club said: II want to say something
of Bryan's first effusion.j Job said,
ooh that mine enemy, would write q
book" Callaghan has written an adj
dress, but he does tell the truth.
Herff, the city treasurer, has skele-
ton in his closet, and wanted to
show it, so he tells these young men,
some of the best in the city-that
they lied. Let us see who told that
lie. Fritz Schreiner shows one thing
and Herff another, and says there is
deficiency of $4,000. Where
did that money come from?,
1t came from the Taxpayers
and much property had to be sold to
pay it. "Oh, says Herff, that's a
legacy from French" French left an
over draft of S2S, 900, and he also left
an uncollected tax roll of $4,000.
Bryan Callaghan collected that
money. Where did it go to? He
doesn't tell us that but he holds up
the buggaboo of SOS, 900. We find to-
day that he has borrowed Sl35, 900,
which if he steps down Well have to
make good. The city property is all
pledged for its payment and its got
to be paid. The pound of flesh must
be given" Say French gets there
that $4,000 has got to be
paid and nearly the whole tax
roll has been collected for the end Of
the fiscal year. What's to be done2
Borrow money from Breckenridge and
pay interest for it? Where's the mil
lions that Bryan has had? Where's
it gone to? That's the question. Talk
of government of the people, for the
people we haven't got it. The public.
plazas are denied for public speaking.
even to an eminent bishop of Georgia.
Bryan said he was afraid 1t would
cause trouble. The Illinois supreme
court has just given the anarchists
right to meet and says that no
one has the right to assume
that meeting will be unlawful or dis
orderly. Had l been mayor l would
have protected them in their right to
free speech. L would not pluck one
laurel from Bryan Callaghan's brow,
for he has none to lose, but he is auto

against him without mourning his
enemity. How different was the
mayor TO General Jackson, when that
hero said: II have spent fifty years
of my life so that you could vote as
you please" Here, if you oppose or
vote against the mayor, he makes it
personal question. Where's Bel
KNAPP, driven from the council
and his street track torn up
until the district court protected him.
Where is General Russ Blue Jean
Williams gallant lieutenant, who
has caused thousands of dollars to be
spent to beautify the West End? All
are silent, for they fear persecution at
the hands of the mayor. This is not
French fight, it is peoples fight;
it is your fight, and 1 call upon you
to retire from power the people who
have dared to rob you of your rights.

BnIHas Animated the Railroads.

KANSAS CITY, February 9.-Since
the house passed the Oklahoma bill,
there has been increased activity in
the railroad buildings in the terri
tory. The new line was started this
week from Fort Smith, Ark, running
north and west through Tahalequah
to COffeyville, Kansas; distance
100 miles, to connect st. Louis
and San Francisco with the Kansas
City and Pacific. This latter railway,
now in operation between Pooler and
Cotfeyville, is being rapidly extended
in q sOutherly direction. 1t crosses
the Sapulpa branch of the San Fran
cisco at Verdigris, passing through
Fort Gibson and again in connection
with San Francisco at Clayton,
the southern terminus of
the Kansas City and Pacific
line. This gives San Francisco
direct connection with this territory
and the officials of that line state that
the Kansas City and Pacific will soon
be under control of the San Francisco
from POOler. The road will be eX-
tended north through Olathe, to
Kansas City. In case the st. Louis
and San Francisco succeeds in it's
efforts to ontrol' the Kansas City and
Pacific, a new competitor will be i'm
the field for southern Kansas and the
Indian Territory business.
