Sam. Wood Murdered

Wednesdays papers brought the
startling news that Colonel Sam. Wood
of Alliance Legislature fame, had been
brutally murdered at Hugoton, Stew
ems county, by desperate named
Brennan. The atrocious act was one
of many which have occurred in con.
nection with the county seat contest
In Stevens. Some time ago, in the trial
of case connected with the contro-
versy, Sam Wood, acting as the de-
fendent's counsel, seriously offended
Brennan, a witness for the State, who
took his revenge by shooting his vic
tim down without warning.
Mr.. Wood has been a prominent and
picturesque feature in Kansas history
for over thirty years. He was a strong
anti-slayery man in the turbulent
early days, and has been actively en-
gagged since in law, the newspaper
business, farming and politics. Though
not a member of the late Legislature,
his predominating influence in the
House was generally recognized. He
was a ready speaker, and a brave and
energetic man. His death will be a
great loss to the Alliance party.

Another Candidate.

The name of w. A. Ross, of Usage,
is added to the list of candidates for
County Treasurer. Mr.. Ross needs no
introduction or commentator to the
people of Allen County. For six years
he served them in the least remuner-
alive but most responsible Office at
their disposal,-that of Commissioner.
While some of his constituents may
have differed from him in Judgment as
to his official acts, none question his
motives, and his many friends will be
glad to know that his services may
again be secured by the county. He
is very active in his own township,
when anything is to be done for the
public welfare. and has been Treasur-
er of school district No. 30 for years.
Born in Ohio in 1SiS, brought up in
Illinois and Missouri, and trained to
an active business life in Wisconsin,
Mr.. Ross came to Kansas in the sew
entities. He is a thorough-going and
successful farmer, as his well-kept
acres and comfortable house show. A
lifelong Republican and an experience
ed man of business will have charge of
the county funds if w. A. Ross be
made the candidate of the Republican

it perceives that therein the hope OF
free trade vanishes. The solid demo

In Love With An Idea.
New York World.

New York Worid
IfPlato were alive he would imme-
diately enroll Miss Nina Van Zandt
among his scholars.
She has faithfully followed the old
philosophers teaching and diligently
loved an idea all her life. 1t is not, to
be sure, a very loyable idea, being in
substance, that pretty much every
body ought to be knocked In the head,
nor is there much honor in 1t, with the
gallows looming up in the background
But it is an idea and Nina has shown
that she loves 1t.
Anarchist Spies whom she married
as much as she could, seeing that he
could not get out of nor she In the jail,
so that the ceremony was performed
by proxy, she hardly knew, and mar
rage under such circumstances was
simply proof of her devotion, not to
the anarchist himself, but to his prin-
cipals. After the elimination OF Spies
she wore mourning a long time, not so
much for him as for the idea which
had suffered i'm his person.
Now, still out of love of her idea,
she weds fierce world-devouring It
allan socialist-Spies no doubt, done
i'm brunette instead of blonde. Per-
haps with the aid of this auxiliary the
fair Nina may tear up the temple OF
the constitution from its deep founda-
tions; perhaps, having a real husband
at last, she may learn that the gospel
of love is better than the gospel ofhate
after all. Let us hope so. 1t is better
to convert an anarchist than to hang
one.
