Attend the Primaries.

On Thursday, September 10th from
2 O'Clock to in the afternoon the re-
publican primaries will be held in the
various precincts of the county to
select delegates to the county conven-
ton Oh the Saturday following. 1t is
the duty of every republican, every
citizen who is friend of Kansas and
who is opposed to defamation of our
state and the land loan, sub-treasury
and other idiocies, to take an interest
in this convention. The campaign of
1891 is but preliminary to that of 1892.
Republicans should show their colOrs,
be men and prove their loyalty by their
deeds.
Attend the primaries!
And, more than that, take a careful
thought in voting for nominees. The
ticket nominated Septem Der 18th must
be ticket of clean men, without stain
and without repreach. The republican
party cannot afford to nominate any
but its best men, those whose lives and
records are pure and unblemished.
Only by putting such men on the
ticket can we be assured of victory.
With such men the election of the
entire ticket is almost certain.
AS first step, attend The primariesl

HONEY LOCUST.

FATE OF BANK ROBBER MURRELL.
Determined People of Corder, Mo-, Seize

ing-Dctails of the Robbery.

CpEDEE, Mo-, Sept 2.-Yesterday
morning the body of Andrew Murrell,
one of the American bank robbers, was
found hanging by clothesline from a
locust tree which stands full in view OF
passing trains, where the lynchers had
left it unmutilated.
A passerby, who saw the body before
it was cut down, described it as fol-
lows: His hands were tied rough
ly at his back and his lower
limbs were fastened by a piece of
small cord The hemp used was the
size of a small clothes line, which was
thrown over the limb of honey locust
tree. His mouth was open and his
eyes We're of that CHASTITY look that
would make ones blood curdle to look
upon the scene. With shoes off, with
his coat and vest down over his Shout
ders, with his hat partly drawn over his
face, blood stains over part of his
body and his feet several inches from
the ground, the body was a sight not
pleasant to see."
About noon the corpse was brought
to town and Justice of the Peace R n.
Barley, in the absence of the coroner,
impaneled jury, which decided that
the man met death at the hands of un-
known parties Then the body was
buried.
Yesterday afternoon from Lexington
came Coroner StraWghn, William Hull,
prosecuting attorney, and Sheriff
Mitchell. They declared the former
inquest illegal and void, had the dead
robbers body taken up and brought to
town and set about another inquest

few seconds later, as he stepped to the

1T ENDED MILDLY.
The Labor Day Celebration Comes to
a Close.

a Close.
The two days Labor celebration is
about over. There may be some more
addresses this evening but for all prac-
tical purposes the county will struggle
along as usual without any more
"doings" in the days honor until next
year. The dining halls have nearly all
closed their careers, the bunting wet
by last nights rain is down, and the
echoes of the calamity speeches have
died away in the alleys.
Last evening the speaking was held
in the band stand, following fine con-
cert by the band. Gen. Vandervort
who may be good general but is a
very tiresome speaker, addressed a fair
sized audience for an hour abusing the
republican party furiously. Fannie
Mccormack, the peoples party oratress,
next talked and then ]. b. Weaver
dished out calamity awhile to the thin
ming crowd. An alliance editor from
Kingman talked to the half dozen that
remained until they would listen no
more. We are assured that there was
mo politics" in the celebration hence
it must be so, but the speeches were all
straight peoples party doctrine, laud-
ing PETER, Simpson, sub-treasury ct al,
fact which seemed rather incongru-
Gus somehow with the declaration.
Judge Nicholson Was called for but
though be was in the crowd he would
not speak.
Today it would not have been known
that there was a celebration in town
except for the fact that the band
played during the forenoon. There
we're no teams in from the country and
no one would have surmised that any
thing unusual was on hand.
This afternoon there was speaking
at the old fair grounds. Judge Bashore
and other alliance speakers addressed
a small audience. The band furnished
music.

TOPEKA THE LOSER.
The Abilene-Topeka Ball Game a
Home Club Victory.

nome OluD fICFOIy.
One of the best ball games of the
season took place at the grounds yes
terday afternoon when the Abilenes
crossed bats with the Capital City club
of Topeka. The Abilene club was on
its mettIe and the large audience pres
emit saw some fine work both at the
bat and in the field. Lack of space
prevents detailed report OF the game
such as was deserved.
The Abilene's crack 81 baseman,
viii Matteson, was unfortunate in the
second inning in slipping as lie was
making hard run TO third and throw
ing his ankle cut of joint. a small
bone at the joint was also broken. He
was taken to town in q carriage and
George Fisher took his place.
Even with this disadvantage the Abb
lenes held their own admirably and
their fielding was particularly good.
The Topekas were weak in this par
ticular and also failed to hit the abb
lene's pitcher, John Lott. The game
was throughout well played and inter
esting. The summary of the score is:
Topeka........... =. @ 0 0 0 2 O-5
Abilenp.............. 0 0 l ? 50
Struck ou:: McVicar 4, Lott Z; left
on bases; Topeka 10, Abilene l,
The second game of the season is be-
ing played this afternoon. The Tope-
kas have changed positions and think
they can do better. The players are.
