A HUNG JURY.
The Jury In tho ritmOn Case Remain Out
all N ight and Agree to Disagree.

The Jury In tho Pitmon Case Remain Out
I'll Night and Agree to Disagree. @
The adjourned term Of the district
court for the purpose Of trying Thomas
Pitmon, who is accused Of the henioas
crime Of incest with his own daughter,
convened yesterday morning. Judge
Searle presided and Court Stenograph
Russell was also in attendance. Attor-
ney General Clapp assisted County At
torney Blooming dale in the prosecution
and Hon. .. w. Bruckart conducted
the defense.
a jury was secured without much
trouble by noon. The twelve good
and true men" chosen to render a ver-
dict in accordance with the evidence
were as follows: VIM Steadman, Elmer
Whitney, Vim. Stoves, Chas. Slater,
Frank Erickson, Lewis W. Bowen,
Joseph Nokes, S. S. Sanford, ID. r.
Price, G. J.. Pinl1ham, Rev. =. S. Bouclz
and Benjamin Oulsman.
The testimony was Of such disgust
ing character that any portion Of it
would not be given a place in the col
umns Of the Police Gazette.
The evidence was all in by 3 o'clock,
and General Clapp summed up for the
State in a powerful plea that carried
conviction to the mind of every fair
minded, impartial man in the court
room-ssve three or four lunk-headed
jurors. Mr.. Bruckart followed with an
earnest, and ingenious plea for the &C
cused. The judges charge was lucid
and explicit. He explained the fine
technical points Of law so clearly that
there could be no misunderstanding on
the part of the most obtuse Juror. The
general impression among the specta-
tors was that the defendent was guilty
and that the jury would not be out more
than a few minutes. The intelligent
jurors" remained out all night, and at
Il o'clock this morning were dis
charged without agreeing upon YER
dict. The first ballot stood six for ac-
quital and six for conviction. At one
time it was nine for conviction and three
for acquital.
Heretofore we have refrained from
commenting on this disgusting case,
now, we boldly assert that Thomas Pit
mon is guilty of the damnable crime of
which he is accused, and in behalf of
the laWabiding citizens of Mile Laos
county we demand that no s'straw
bonds" be accepted, that the case be
prosecuted to the bitter end, that a
change Of venue be taken to another
county where a fair trial can be had.
The county attorney must do his duty
in this case. The people demand that
he shall, A gang Of imported outlaws,
each and every oneof them fit candidates
for the penitentiary, must not be per-
mitted TO bulldoze and terrorize peace
able and law-abiding citizens by their
lawless, beastly and unnatural acts and
threats. This is plain language but
the occasion justiies it.

NOTES.
Let no guilty man escape.
Elect men to office who will do their
duty regardless OF the consequences.
D. W. Brucl1art: I had a hard case
but I fought it for all there was in it.
Judge Searle: I cannot see why that
jury cannot arrive at some conclusion.
@ Threats. Bah! Who cares for the
threats of a gang Of depraved outlaws?
The majority Of the jury knew their
duty and were willing to do it. But a
unanimous verdict is required.
The question OF expense must cut no
figure in this case. Thomas Pitmon
must be convicted or acquitted. There
must be no halfway business about it.
The people demand this.
Gen. Clapp paid Ed. Price a high
compliment. The general remarked,
il the jury was composed of mon like
Price I would have no fear OF the re-
suit. He, Price, is an Intelligent juror.
Pitmon's bonds have been reduced to
$500. Mr.. County Attorney, demand
an iron-clad bond. If an iron-clad bond
cannot be furnished let the lecherous
brute remain in prison until next term
Of court.
General Clapp made a powerful plea,
the ablest ever. delivered before a Mile
Laos county jury But it was like
casting pearls before swine. There
were some 1, men on that jury whom an
angel from heaven could not have con-
WINGED.

Cost Of organizing. Sol Miller Fighting

Sol Miller, editor OF the Troy ChieE
who has about the usual amount Of
brains and conscience possessed Ivy the
old POLITICAL hacks, has taken up arms
against the Farmers Alliance. Having
fred several rounds from different posi-
tiOns with little effect. he at last, has
raised the question Of costl His argu-
ment In that line pleases him and other
hacks Of the same class and caliber so
we'll that il has started the rounds in the
anti-alliance papers.
Sol Miller estimates that there are one
hundred and six thousand QO6,O0O) al
lance men In the state Of Kansas, and
that to organize them, and TO pay all ex-
penses one year, will cost them little

the cost for the first year. After that
five or six bushels Of corn, or two bushels
Of wheat, or three pecks OF apples per
annum will pay the running expenses,
That, Of course, 10 man like Sol Miller
or the "poodle dog" editors who bark as
he does, must seem like tremendous
sum TO spend In good cause But for
useless and pernicious purposes these
same men would spurn 10 mention 80

Now what does II cost 10 remain organic

monopoly newspapers employed In keep
ing alive the necessary party animosltesE
The sum IN very large, but not worth
counting in view Of ultimate results
by arrOying man against man and
neighbor against nelghbor (whose
interests are the same) monopoly
Is able to control the elections and the
legislation Of the country. In this way
we have bank monopolles and railroad
monopoles, and tremendous supply
and costly assortment Of combines, trusts
and pools, which skin the producers and
consumers Of tho state and country ac.
cording to their own sweet will and
pleasure,
II Is estimated that the monopoly Of
money by the banks costs tho country
about 83OOOOO0OO TO start with and some
S3O,0OO,OOO or $40OOO,OOO per annum a.
forwards in the matter Of circulating
their notes; and in controlling the A.
nancos Of the country, Senator Plumb
puts the cost at 81 OOO,0OO,OOO per annumI
That il for Kansas, over $40 per man,
woman and child, or 800 per family Of
six persons for all our people, farmers,
merchants, mechanics and all, whether
alliance men or not. Sol, what do you
think Of the hguresH They are given by
n bank president as correct.
The railroad monopolles have fastened
upon the state Of Kansas s0l6,0OO,OOO Of
capitalization" on which the people pay
dividends and interest la order TO be per
mitted to use their own roads. This cap.
italization is mostly water.
These monopolies have grown up and
had their way because Of the party diyl-
sions and antipathles Of the people, The
monopolies seek to perpetuate these d.
visions that they may continue TO control
and rob the people ut will. The farmers
and others, taxed to penury and robbed
to absolute suffering, are now thinking
and uniting. Sol says Il won't do. That
It costs too much. Millions Of dollars a
year TO monopoly is nothing. A dollar
and a half to escape monopoly is insane
waste. Our fathers said, "Millions for
defense, not cent for trlbute" Sol
would reverse this: "Millions for trib-
ute, but a dollar aud a half for defense is
too muchI II Is wasteful insanity
