A Cold BIooded Murder.

OBERLIN. Kans., July 27.-Tne citizens
of our peaceful county were shocked by
the report, which proved to be true. that
Joseph Turby had shot and instantly
killed Isaac Bowen. The shooting took
place at a district school meeting at the
Trald school house, in the northwest part
of Decatur county, and was witnessed by
some twenty-five persons
MIR. Bowen had taken part in the meet
ing and was wholly unarmed, not having
even a pocket knife. Turby had been
waiting at store few rods away until
he supposed the meeting about closed
He then walked up to the school house
and stood ut the south door, and Bowen
came out at the north door. A few words
passed between them, when Turby with
out warning drew his revolver and fired,
the shot entering the left side Just above
the heart, and passed out under the right
arm pit, causing instant death
Turby was taken in charge by the citi
zens, and brought to Oberlin and turned
over to the sheriff, and is now in the
county jail
Both parties We're single, having never
been married. They had lived together
and ''batchedit'' for about eleven years,
but fell out and have been very bitter en-
emies for two years. This led to the
starting of the following suits which are
still in the district court: Bowen VS.. Tur-
by. in which Bowen claims 81, 100 DANA
ges tor defamation of character: Williams
VS.. Williams. divorce suit, in which
Bowen favored the plaintiff, Mrs. Will
liams, and Turby the defendant; and
Williams VS.. Bowen, in which Williams
claims SIG, 900 damages for the allevia-
ton of his wife's affections.
The deceased leaves will of all his
property, which will reach about $40, 600
to a sister living in Wisconsin.
The murder was cold blOoded one,
and evidently premeditated. as Turby had
said only few days ago that he would
kill Bowen the first time they met.

the JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

The convention to place in nomina-
ton Judge for the 9th judicial dis
trict, assembled at Hill City the after
noon of July 9th. After the pre-
liminary business had been dispensed
with, the committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
We, the republicans of the 34th ju-
dicial district of the state of Kansas.
in convention assembled, do hereby
endorse the principles and doctrines
enunciated by the republican national
platform of 1888, and the state plat
form of Kansas of 1888: and do here
by promise allegiance to and support
of the nominee of this convention,
and the PRONUNCIATION of the princi-
Piles of the republican party through
out the state of Kansas.
In President Harrison we recognize
an honest. capable and conscientious
chief magistrate, statesman, a SOL
dier, and friend to the masses of
this great republic; and we heartily
endorse his foreign policy, especially
the protection of American indus
tries.
In our senators, J. j. Ingalls, and
2. L. Plumb, we recognize able states
men, whose aim and every effort Is
for the advancement of the nation
and state, and the continuance of the
republican party in its career of use
fulness.
In the Hon. E. J. Turner we have a
congressman who never forgets that
the big sixth is not an inconsiderable
part of the State of Kansas, land whose
presence in the congressional halls of
the nation has caused that opinion to
prevail throughout the nation; We
fully endorse his actions for the fur
therance of the interests of our dis
trict: and TO him also is extended the
heartfelt thanks of the hemesteaders
for the great work accomplished by
him in their interest.
With firm belief that the party in
power should fill toe appointive offices
we request that our representatives in
congress use every endeavor to cause
the removal of Office holders of the
opposite party, and the substitution
in their stead of those who have stood
shoulder to shoulder with republican
principles, believing that such a course
would procure an improvement of the
public service; and to this end we
ask the speedy removal of the demo-
cratic registers and receivers of the
several land offices of this district,
and that competent and judicious re-
publicans be appointed, believing that
the best interests of the hOmesteader
will be subserved thereby.

The Attorney General. L. B. Kellogg,
has rendered an important decision per-
tanning to certain duties of notaries pub
lie. Viz: Is it lawful for notary public
to take Acknowledgements of any instru-
ments not completely filed out! In an
swer to this question the attorney says
that in his opinion 1t is not good practice
for notary public to take acknowledge
ments of deeds, any portion of which is
left blank. If the execution of the deed
has not been completed, he thinks that
the party could not appear before an Of.
ficer and declare that he had executed
the deed. for this is the act which c0nsti-
tutes the acknowledgment. Neither can
the notary keep the record required by
law, If the names Of the parties do not
appear in the instrument.

Our Washington correspondent says:
Secretary Noble has created a COM
motion by appointing committee to
investigate the rerating of pensions
for the past twelve months. "What
does it mean?" was asked on all sides,
and all sorts of sensational answers
have been given. Your correspon-
dent has interviewed Secretary Noble,
Assistant Secretary Bussey, and Com
missioner Tanner on the subject, and
can therefore tell exactly what it
means. For quite while secretary
Noble has been flooded with CON-
plants about the looseness of the
methods in vogue in the pension Of
fee in regard to the re-ratlng of pen
sions; it was alleged that large num-
Der of the employees of that Office
had within the last year had them
selves re-rated illegally and that they
were drawing large amounts of mon
ey to which they were not entitled. At
first the secretary paid little attention
to these complaints, believing them to
be on par with the usual complaints
of the class of people who oppose our
whole pension system and everything
connected Herewith. But the COM
plants continuing to increase, he
called the attention of Commissioner
Tanner to the matter, and that gentle
man, after little investigation, came
to the conclusion that the re-rating
had been very carelessly done, if there
had been no criminality on the part of
the employees having charge of the
matter. twas then decided as the
best thing to do to to have the sys-
tenn thoroughly investigated, and at
the request of Commissioner Tanner
the same committee has been author
lied to investigate the charges of fav-
oritism that have been made against
the Office. The system of re-rating
now in use was managed by Gen.
Black when he was Commissioner of
Pensions, and nobody blames Com
missioner Tanner for what has hap
pened under it, though it is expected
that the investigation will show that
certain employees presumed on his
well known friendliness towards the
pensioners to prevent his looking too
closely into the doubtful cases they
re-rated. The committee now invest
igatine the matter consists of Dr. Geo.
Ewing and H. L. Bruce, of the board
of pension appeals, and Judge F. L..
Campbell. of the assistant attorney

are to get at the facts, no matter who
they may effect. They are now hold
