truth of which the Lawrence Journal
vouches: Jerry Simpson is in it. he
always manages to keep up with The

Kansas newspaper men saw him in the

and he Was presiding at a dinner table
with the grace AMI ease of southern
planter. He had on a Prince Albert
coat and wore gofd-rimmed spectacles.
Before him was a delicious weodcock

ent for most two years induced him to
depart from the paths of rectitude. 1t
does not look just right that the man
should be punished and the others who
sinned one hundred times to his once be
allowed to escape with inqpunity, even
ii they should show disposition to dis
continue, which they delp pot or they
would not be stocking up with new
goods. 1t is only question of time,
boys, till you will be in the tolls, for
the red haired man means business.
His red hairs are honorable and so is
his effort to do his duty in trying to en-
force the law, and now if you continue
and get caught, charge it up to your
OWN foolishnesS aud get out as best you
can. A little honor and sympathy is
due the man who gets caught and then
quits, but he VINO persists in open re-
beliiun against the laws Of the state
that he relies upon for protection of
property and self merits public seorn
and the fullest penalty of the law.
a slight accident happened two of
our local sports Saturday while they
were shooting Flobert rifle, Willing

became tiresome when 4 turkey ap-
peared on the scene about thirty yards
away. It was too tempting to resist a
shot. One shot was fired but the
turkey paid no heed more than to look
inquiringly around when he settled
back again as cOmpOsedly as ever. The
second shot Was fired with no effect on
turkey. The range being considered
too far, the sports with their guns
started in pursuit of smaller game.
They had proceeded but short dis
tance when they were confronted by

One of the bullets fired at the turkey
had hit a board and glanced off at an
angle of about 45 degrees, passed
through a window glass i'm Chatten

the prominence of the cheek bone about
an inch. and half below the eye, cut.
ting through the skin enough to make
the blood run freely and frighten him
considerable. 1t is needless to Say the
boys were frightened. When it was
known the gun was dropped and all
adjourned for the drug store where
the wound was examined and dressed.
When it was found to be only 4 skin
wound, the bullet having dropped out,
feeling of great relief was felt which
brOadened into audible smiles. The

all good natured and thankful that it
WAS no worse. Sam and DIR. have con-

feels that some of the limbs are too
exacting. too avaricious, and not con-

While all this is going on it is no. asked
by the trunk farmer that you cut off
that exacting limb or materially dis
able it. But the farmer ttrunk). in d
loud voice, addresses the limbs thus:
Friends, country ymen. let US increase

A farmer break up! Tell me WHO

nearly nothing because the chances
are against him; he who, when the
earth has responded 60 his labors, sees
the product thereof cOrnered.. bought
and sold as IL the producer was cast

the jobber should respect. Yet during

ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

ADDIT1ONAL Rh5OLUTlOAbs
Resolved, That the question of universal
suffrage be recommended TO Che favorable
consideration of the various states and ter
ritorieS.
Resolved, That while the party In power
in 1869 pledged the faith Of the ma
tion to pay debt in coin that had been con-
tracted on deprecated currency basis and
payable in currency, thus adding nearly
one billion dollars to the burdens of the
people, which meant gold for the bond
holders and deprecated currency for the
soldier, and that the men who imperiled
their lives to save the life of a nation should
have been paid in money as good a. that
paid to the bondholder, we demand the
issue Of legal tender treasury notes in sufii-
cient amount to make the pay Of the soldiers
equal to par with coin, or such other legis-
lation az shall do equal and exact justice TO
the union soldiers Of this country.
Resolved, That as eight hours constitute q
legal days work for government employees
in mechanical departments, we believe this
principle should be further extended so as
to apply to all corporations employing labor
in the different states of the union.
Resolved, That this conference condemns
in unmeasured terms the action Of che
directors of the Worlds Columbian Expo
sition on May 10 in refusing the minimum
rate of wages asked for by the labor organ
izstions Of Chicago.
Resolved, That the attorney general SUBJ
NIT the act of March 2, 1889, providing for
the opening Of Oklahoma to homestead set
Element, to the supreme court Of the United
States at the earliest possible moment, that
the unhappy settlers Of that afflicted terri
tory may understand the lawful and consti-
tutional meaning Of said act, and thus put
stop to so much litigation and expense.

Of Kansas, nominated 81. x. TAubeneck,
Of Illinois, as chairman Of the national
executive committee. There was great
Outburst Of cheers when TAubeneckS
name was mentioned. w. r. Lamb, Of
Texas, seconded the nomination, saying
he had watched T&ubeneck's record and
he was satisfied. Taubeneck was chosen
by acclamstion. Loud calls for Tauben-
eek finally brought that gentleman to
the rostrum, where he made brief but
very manly and modest speech, thanking
the delegates. LHe said: Gentlemen,
you see before you all that is left of the
Independent party in the Illinois Legis-
lature, so often called the "Big Three"
He added that, while he sincerely sppre-
ciated the honor the convention had con-
ferred upon him, he scarcely felt equal
to doing the position of national chair
man justice, but he would do the best he
could, and rely upon the assistance OF
the other members of the committee. In
conclusion, he said they were standing
on the brink Of the conflict between cap
ital and labor, and the longer that con-
fict was postponed the worse it would
be. "Our politicians" said he, "might
as well try to stop cyclone or the move
ment Of the stars as to evade this issue"
A few moments of confused prepara-
tion flor adjournment sine die ensued,
then the chairman's gavel fell, and the
first convention Of the Peoples party In
the United States passed into history.
