THE REsUBMIss1oN DODGE.

The Beacon is vainly endeavoring to
cut a caper in the Resubmission racket.
The Beacon advocating resubmission is
just equivalent to a Democratic paper
advocating free trade. 1t was the EAGLE.
as Republican organ of wide circula-
ton and extended influence, that stirred
up this community and the entire state
over the proposition of Resubmission.
| The Beacon wasn't in it only in the
sense that it surprises no one to find a
| Democrat in a saloon. Nor can that
paper get itself or anybody else into it
this fall, and all its double-leaded sweet
ness is worse than wasted. 1T the EAGLE.
as the everywhere recognized great Re-
submission champion of the state,
is satisfied with the Republican nominees
on the county ticket that ought to be
enough. Surely the average Democrat
ought to rest satisfied, knowing as he
must, and as does every body else, that
the Beacon nor any other Democratic
paper can cut any figure whatever in the
resubmission question. The Beacon nor
its party can so much as open or close
single joint, and never have, and its edl-
tors have Systematically and regularly
howled on every side of that question
for years Nominally that party has a
representative on each police commits
sion in the state but that party is not
even permitted to name such representa-
tive. That is the reason that the Demo
Gratis in convention always denounce the
Republican party for not enforcing the
law and then adjourning to the
most convenient joint for a drink.
And the Beacon has for years thus
howled for resubmission in one breath
and damned the Republican party in
the next for not enforcing the prohibi-
tory law. All this fools nobody much
less Republican Resubmission.
There is but one way open or possible
for another vote of the people of Kansas
on prohibition, and that is through a
new constitution. Several times have
Republican legislatures submitted the
proposition of new constitution to the
people but it has always been rejected.
Only two years ago was the proposition
for a new constitution voted down over
whelmingly, the Democracy being prac-
tically unanimous against 1t. 1t has
been resubmitted again for the general
election next fall and no power can
force the resubmission question into the
present canvass, especially is it impossl-
bic for any Democratic paper to do so.
There are now three political parties
in the state, the smallest and numert-
cally weakest of the three being the
Democratic party. That party is no.
where except as they combine with the
Alliance. In this and in other counties
they managed to corrall a few offices by
such combination and through the cry of
prohibition and resubmission, but both
the Republican and the Peoples party
having decided for a new constitution
the hypocritical cry of resubmission can
not he made to count until the people
have voted on the question direct, as
submitted by the last legislature.

From the salIna Republican.

Jerry Simpson stated yesterday to a
crowd of admirers when asked about
his little drunk in Ohio, that he did not
know that it would ''ralse such HI of
a row or he would not have done it. >"
1t now appears that this is not the first
time that Jerry and johnson have cele-
brated together, as. according to Jerry's
statement they dined together last win
ter in Washington. Il did not know"
says Simpson, that it would not do for
us fellows to drink wine, but" he added
sadly, Il know it now and after all
only did what Christ did; he fell among
sinners and Republicans, and L fell
among sinners and Democrats" By
this time Jerry had quite an audience
around him and continued to talk about
the matter finally concluding with the
remark that, as the sock story was about
worn out he thought the people ought to
have something else TO talk about any
way and so he didn't care much.

Electricity. if not supplanting other
agencies in the physical world, is at least
taking foremost place among them. 1t
is already employed for power, for
light, for heat and will soon become an
active agent in facilitating agriculture,
both as moisture producer and fertil-
izer. In late experiment radishes in
clined 40 degrees to electric light, and
hemp grew eighteen inches more in the
same time under that ligh, than other
hemp. A row of potatoes electrified
produced twenty-one pecks, while
another equal row without electricity
produced only twelve pecks. The fertil-
izing element of manure, placed near
the positive pole, is distributed through
out the circuit The action of the cleo
trio current is to dissolve the organic
principals existing in the soil more
rapidly than where electricity is not
used.

Belleville, Republic county, came near
being the scene of bloody and disgrace
full riot last Saturday afternoon. The
Alliance Of the county were to hold
meeting in the town during the after
noon and theatrical troop was also ad-
vertised to give matinee performance
in the town at stated hour in the after
noon. The Alliance crowd assembled
in the court house square and when the
hour for the show arrived its band took
position in front of the opera house and
proceeded to render a musical selection.
This being in view and hearing of the
crowd in the court square, naturally
good many of the crowd left, attracted
by the music. Seeing this the fellow
who was haranguing the crowd become
desperate and advised his hearers to
clean out the counter attraction. About
fifty responded and before the band or
its street audience were aware of their
approach they were pounced down upon
by the heelers and violently assaulted,
and but for the precipitate retreat of the
band into the opera house and the
prompt dispersion of the crowd of
hearers there would undoubtedly have
been bloodshed. 1t was cOwardly and
unprovoked assault.

and San Antonio special says that the

they must be returned to the country

KOCH'S DISCOVERY.

The tubercle baciM was discovered by
Prof. Koch, to be constantly present in
all cases of consumption. WheEe the
blood is impoverished or impure, there
results that constitutional condition
known as scrofula, which is character
lied by the liability of certain tissues
to become the seat of chronic inflam-
nations and enlargements. VirchSw
says "their vulnerability is excessive"
Consequently, exciting causes which
would have only passing effect upon a
healthy subject would produce inflam-
nation and disease in the scrofulous.
These troubles may start as catarrh in
the nasal passages, throat or lungs, and
as the membranes become weakened,
the tubercle bacilli enter, and multi
ply, and we have, as q result, that dread
disease-Consumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in
all its forms something that purifes
the blood, as well as claims to. That,
if it's taken in time, will cure Con-
sumption. It has been found, in DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. AS
a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser, and
f1esh-builder, nothing like it is known
to medical science. ForScrofula, Bron-
chial, Throat. and Lung affections, Weak
Lungs, severe Coughs, and kindred all
ments, it's the only remedy so sure that
it can be guaranteed. If it doesn't bene-
fit or cure, your money is refunded.

Story of the Murder Of Detective Gilkinson
at Bulls Run.

Story of the Murder Of Detective Gilkinsou
at Bulls Run.
The murder for which Fitzsimmons was
to be tried was that of Detective David H.
Gilkinson on the afternoon of March 81
1891. The scene was at Bulls Run, oppo-
site McKeesport, but about two miles dis
tant Gilk1nson had fastened on Fitzsim-
mons the burglary of a McKeesport drygoods
store and that of robbing Schmidt's jewelry
store in Homestead. As was his custom
Detective Gilkinson had worked up all the
evidence before making the arrest, and at a
given time members of the gang in three
different States were to have been arrested.
On this afternoon Gilkinson was accom-
panied by Constable Paddy Murphy. When
sthe lonely house was reached Gilkinson
asked for 'Budd, +" as he was then known.
Mrs Gilkinson refused to admit them.
They forced their way in. AS they reached
the doorway to the bedroom Fitzsimmons
fired. The detective did not stop. He
fired again and Gilkinson fell with two
bullet wounds in his temple. Murphy kept
up the fight until his revolvers were empty
and then fled. He was struck by three
balls, but he had wounded both Fitzsim-
mons and his wife.
By wonderful effort Murphy dragged
himself to McKeesport and gave the alarm
The whole State was alarmed The follow
ing night Fitzsimmons was arrested in
Homestead by Officer McA1lister and
brought to Pittsburg. He was tried and
convicted on two charges of robbery. In
the June term of court the murder case
came up for trial, but owing to the illness
of Thomas M Marshall, Sr., it was post
poned until September. It was to have
been started next week.

merely asked if it was the last car Several
passengers wondered at a woman standing
on the street at such an hour, and they are
now wondering whether she was not Fitz-
simmons accomplice
Detectives Steele and Johnston, of ALLIE
gheny, declared last night that they had a
well founded clew to the whereabouts of
Fitzsimmons. They maintained that their
declaration was not idle talk, and intimated
that they had seen some one or more per-
sons yesterday afternoon from whom they
had procured considerable information.
They would not tell anything definite as to
what their information was, but neverthe-
less were emphatic in their statement
When asked why they did not follow the
clew out and if possible arrest the escaped
prisoner, they said it would entail more
or less expense which they did not
feel justified in con tributing to out of their
own pockets They said also that it would
be useless to lay their information before
the County Commissioners as they would
be referred to the Pittsburg police officials
A Detective Changes His Mind.
Detective Johnston early yesterday was
of the opinion that Fitzsimmons was in
hiding in the city, but later in the day,
after he had seen certain people, she
changed his mind and said he had gone out
of town. Detective Steele backed
him up in his theory and said
that he could get him or was
reasonably sure he could, if he could only
get horse and buggy and drive out of AL
1egheny some 35 or 40 miles. He did not
believe he had gone out of town by train
and said he thought Fitzsimmons had not
been on or even seen train since he es-
capped.
Superintendent of Police Weir said:
''Either Fitzsimmons has obtained money
and help to get him clear out of the country
or else he is located right here in Pittsburg,
being hidden away by friend
Assistant Superintendent Roger O'Mara
said 81 am confident Fitzsimmons will be
caught The reward of $1,000 will be as
operative as if much larger sum had been
offered
The disappearance of a skiff from Matt
Cavanaugh's boathouse on the Monongahela
river Monday night led to the belief that
Fitzsimmons had taken to the river for
escape. Nobody could be found down the
river who had seen man in a skif, and the
clew was dropped.
