SHAWNEE COUNTY PEOPLES PARTY
THE FORGERY MILL STILL GRINDs.

The Western Veteran, edited by a
man Of the Merideth- Hudson species,
in pursuance Of the bloody shirt cam
paign, which is relied upon by this
variety of politicians, reproduces the
Livingston forgery, and the Capital
quotes it with all it's sickening accom-
psniments with an approving smile.
It is unnecessary to say to the thou
sands who listened TO the speech Of
L. F. Livingston, of Georgia, here in
Topeka, that he uttered no such SEN
timent as that attributed TO him by
these cowardly asssssins of private
character. There were at least 5000
people present at the meeting at the
fair grounds, every one of whom
knows that the story is a base false
hood from beginning TO end. There
is not a syllable Of truth in it and
nothing to make the story ont Of ex-
cept the perverted and distorted ma
ture Of the political harlots who are
responsible for It's fabrication. Il re-
quires an amount Of gall that very
few men possess to publish a state
ment of this kind where thousands of
witnesses in the same city and county
whore it is published have personal
knowledge of its falsehood.
This statement is followed by the
John Livingston forged letter which
was fully exposed, and the character
Of its author amply illustrated at the
time of it's original appearance. Yet
listen to the following from this band
Of patriots:
While the Livingston Of New York 10 presl-
dent Of the Alliance organization in New York,
or was last winter, he Is moulded out Of better
material than that which goes Into the makeup
of the clay-eatlng Livingston Of Georgia. The
Livingston Of New York comes from Q patriotic,
union loving family. The Georgia product
springs from treason and dlsunion. The one
loves "the flag Of the free hearts only home,
the other hates its every stripe and star, and
prOclaimS his hatred by pouring the Walls Of his
wrath upon the heads Of the men who followed
It to victory. A Niger driver In the days Of
slavery, he demands and receives becoming
recognition aud obedience from northern Hex
splttles, Of which this man power Is nAuscatinG

1T WAS A BEAR,

Taken for a Burglar and Master OF the
Situation for Six Hours.
Two Frenchmen who came to this coun-
try with bear year ago and Travelled
about giving exhibitions decided recently to
return to France.
Several days ago they called at Petit Fri
YIELDS saloon, 1914 South Fifth avenue, and
offered to give Friweld the bear, as they had
no further use for him. Friweld accepted
The offer and chained the bear TO post in the
back yard.
On Friday night last, after every one had
gone to bed, the bear gDawed the restrain
ing post in two and went on tour of his
own. He broke down the YARD fence,
smashed in the back door of the saloon, and
finally walked upstairs TO where Frlweid
and his family were in bed.
Friweld was awakened by the smashing
of the saloon door and his first thought of
burglars was dispelled when he heard the
p0nderous brute slowly climbing the stairs.
He reused his family and fled to the fire
escape, reaching the ground in time to see
tie bear poke his muse out of the upper
window and look curiOusly around.
For six hours the bear had undisputed pos
session of the house, going from room to
room and occasionally looking out of the
window at the assembled multitude, who
had heard OF the situation.
An officer of Bergh's society was sent for
TO kill the bear. He thought il pity to kill
SO fine brute and notified Superintendent
Conklin of the Central Park menagerie, who,
with several men, captured the bear and
took him to Central Park, where he is re-
garded as a valuable acGuisltion.-N. Y.

was a little golden-haired beauty, scarcely
years Of age, with quick, intelligent
eye and loving nature, to which she gave
full vent in the radiant and impulsiye way
she welcomed her fond parents back. At
last they took her by the hand and pro-
ceeded toward the waiting ferry-boat. AS
they passed by the engine belonging to the

the big black machine and paited the driv-

white hands. Looking up at the smoke
stack, she said; you good, big old iron
horse, you have brought back my papa and
mamma safe over the fearful mountains to
their little girl, and | want to thank you,
even if you don't care for me because
