a large and fairly profitable business is
possible but will be based upon the

MI NDER WILL OUT.
An Old Woman COniesses to the Murder
of Her Daughte-in-Law.

'" hhci
LANCASTER, Wis, July 1O.-Lancaster
people were startled this morning when
they learned that the aged mother of
Louis Sicely had on her deathbed con-
fessed to the murder of her sons wife
nine years ago. In 1882 Louis Sicely was
married to Mrs. Beckford. The second
night after the wedding the dead body
of the bride, perforated with bullet holes,
was found lying in a pool of blood in a
wheat field near the house. The
murdered woman's husband was arrested
and held for trial but after an examina-
ton lasting twenty-eight days the case
was never brought to trial. For some
and the doctor told the old lady she was
likely to die, but this statement was
rejected by her. She ordered three more
doctors sent for. They came and sus-
tanned the verdict of their conferc when
finally she became convinced that death
was near She confessed to the doctors
that she herself had committed the crime
for which her son had been SO long ac-
cuscd. The crime, she said. occurred in
Il quarrel over some matter that angcrcd
her. She seized her sons revolver and
cmptied the chambers into her daugh-
ter-in-law's body. She carried the body
out in the 'ield and placed the pistol 10y
it to give the idea of suicide. She said
her son, who was accused OF the murder,
was aware Of her guilt, but shielded her
by remaining silent. He refused to live
with her. however.

the prospect is that henccforward to the

afternoon there was a ladies' matinee ut

of which was a grand ladies' chorus.

party gatherings, and the reason Is to be
found in the fact that the Peoples party
IS losing its grip as fast as possible. The
old calamity wall is played cut. The
people are getting out of the slough of
despair. They want to sing the more
cheerful song of hope. and that is the
song sung by the Republicans.
The members of the Peoples party are
likewise growing tired of the expense of
this new humbug organization. They
are tired of going down into their pockets
to pay the expenses of lot of dema-
gogues whose only purpose is TO get
Office or money out of the concern. 1t
Is making them exceedingly weary TO be
asked to chip in every time the hat is
passed around, which is pretty often.
When Messrs. Simpson, PETER and
Willis come to Reno county they will not
find the enthusiasm that greeted them
last year. There will be many familiar
faces conspicuous by their absence. We
have had no hot winds this year. Nature
dispensed her blessings with a lavish
band. Our farmers have been so busy
with bountiful wheat, oats, corn and
fruit crops that they could not attend to
the Alliance meetings. A great many
of them have forgotten the password.
Others would not recognize the grip even
coming from such shining mark as the
president of the national organization.
Disappointment awaits these leaders
at their meeting, and still greater disap-
pointment awaits them at the polls in
November.

CALAMITY MIsREPREsENTATloN.

Like a sweet morsel, the Alliance
demagogues and their Democratic allies
are rolling Superintendent Porters re
port of the mortgage and bonded in.
debtedness of Sedgwick county and
Wichita city, under and over their
tongues, not to say out of their lying
lips. The census figures alluded to cover
the entire recorded Indebtedness of the
county as it stood year ago last JAN
uary. Nearly three-fourths of that in
debtedness is charged up to the city
which, as is well known, largely rested
on unimproved boom lots which have
since been sold out and the debt which
they represented, of course, being wiped
out. In the twenty months referred TO a
very large per cent. of the indebtedness,
as shown by this census report has been
cleaned up by payment in full, In
addition to that liquidated by
foreclosure. Again, large per cent of
such reported mortgage and bonded in
debtedness is that of corporations and is
not, nor never was, burden to the COM
munitv nor to the individual tax payer.
For all of the railroads entering here
have an Indebtedness, each recorded in
the county books. The waterworkS
carry a bonded Indebtedness of one
eleventh the entire recorded debtedness
of the city as reported in the census.
The street railway, the gas works, the
car works, and other less corporations,
respectively represent each quite large
sums of this aggregate Indebtedness
charged up TO the county and city, but
which in no way is direct or indirect
burthen to the individual tax payer nor
individual property owner.
Leaving out of the count these corpo-
ration obligations and taking into the
account the fact that the records show
that in the twenty months since Porters
statistics were compiled nearly one-third
of the mortgage and bonded Indebtedness
has been cancelled, and what becomes of
the calamity howl? As for that portion
of bonded Indebtedness represented by
street paving, sewerage, city hall and
county building, the taxes of Sedgwick
county are as low as those of any other
county in the state, even as low as in
those counties which cannot boast these
costly, but necessary public improve
ments.
Sedgwick county and Wichita are all
right, all calamity figures to the contrary

GOD SAVE KANSAS.

| [BY AN Ex-MEMBER OF THE ALLIANCEl
High upon the roll of fame
Is inscribed the long-lov'd name
| OF Kansas, that true men hail with pride,
This attractive land of mine
Henceforward will decline
To accept a tar-heel prophet for her guide.
CHORUS.
God save Kansas. the Alliance
Is exhibiting her face full of scars:
But this falsehood we'n confute
With the solar rays of truth
As she scars from tribulations to the stars
Dear land what fate is thine
Since the days of 'Auld Lang Syne,"
Thy enemies like sleuth hounds on thy track
Pursued thee night and day
From the southland far away,
Until thy sons arose and drove them back.
God save Kansas, etc.
And from the southland yet
They come here and say, forget
The Satanic part we play'd in days of yore;
As crOuching slaves we'll stand,
While we shake Polk's bloody hand
That's crimson'd with patriot brothers gore
God save Kansas, etc.
For the principle that's taught
BY the Golden club, they fought;
To resist them, streams of patriot blood was
pour'd.
But what treason could not gain,
They are striving to obtain
By returning to the diplomOtie sword.
God save Kansas, etc.
o Kansans, in your might,
Arise, and doubly smite
These visionary dreamers who defame
Our people and onr state,
That are prosperous and great,
And Columbia's sweet voice shall bless thy
name.
