SHERIFF HORNBECK
Of Cooper County has Something
New to Say Concerning JnO.
U. burlington.

john Oscar burlington will prob
ably not be in a condition much
Ienger 10 furnish the press with items.
The latest IS taken from the Boon
vile Democrat of January 2:
Captain Hornbeck, Sheriff of
Cooper eounty, is very much agitated
over Turlington's last escape, and
passvs many restless nights, dreaming
of ropes, saws and other instruments
of like nature. While one guard
keeps an eve on the doomed man in
the day and another at night, the
sheriff Is not quite sure that his
man is in Jail until he peeps through
the bars at him each and every morn
ing. In speaking of burlington the
other day, Sheriff Hornbeck said.
eft is always plain to be seen how
he gets out after he has gone, but not
so easy before he escapes. III! tell
you he is the smoothest man / ever
saw. To take an ordinary knife he
could not have worked out of that cell
in a month, but he is an expert with
metal and with soft knife which he
had /; he held it over his lamp until
it was hot and then ne would temper
it with his bucket OF water. Why,
since We brought him back the last
time | put SINE new handouts on
him and he had not heen in his cell
ten minutes until he was holding the
rings over the lamp until red hot and
then he would put them in the water
in order to make them brittle,
so be could bresk them.
Oh no, he says he vii never hang.
He said might kill him, but never
hang him. He has gone to eating
sgain +; he only tasted five days. He
said he would be the happiest man in
the world if he was sent to the peni-
tertiary for life. In my opinion he
would stay in the peni:entiary about
three weeks before he would make his
escape.
don't want to see any one suffer,
but if she law says hang him, | want
to do the job. He is the man above
all others that | want to hang, pro-
vided the law says so. When he is
out of the way l will again feel easy.
am sick of hearing about Hornbeeki s
carelessness in regard to this man
TurliGgton."

EDWARD j. ANDREWS,
Arrested in 1T. Louis, Charged
With SwindliBg a Soda
lila Lady.

Yesterday morning John De Long
a Missouri Pacific Railroad detective
left st. Louis for Sedalia, hav-
ing in charge one Edward j. Andrews.
The prisoner was arrested Thursday
morning by Detectives Viehle and
Ziegler, who took him into custody at
Twelfth and Pine streets. The fellow
is wanted at Sedalia on the charge
of fraud. About two weeks ago
two men approaches the ticket
window in the Missouri Pacific depot
in this city and asked that $40 bill
which one of them presented might
be changed. The men talked as
though they had a business transaction
of some sort and so confused the lady
agent, Miss Stella Cole, by their con-
versatiOn that they were enabled to
fleece her to the extent of $40. The
swlndlers escaped from the depot
before the fraud was discovered.
Detective De Long claims to have
evidence to prove that Andrews was
concerned in the job and holds against
him warrant for fraud. Andrews
is professional thief and confidence
worker well known to the members of
the st. Louis department.

A FIGHT FOR PARTY LIFE.
Kansas Republicans to Make q
Last Desperate Stand.

Topeka, Jan. 3.-The following
letter was sent by the republican cen
trail committee this morning to lead
ing repub leans throughout The state:
This committee, alter carr full con-
sideratiOn and C Insulation with many
leading republicans, has determined
to make an effort to establish perma-
nent committee r. Oms. In view of
the Importance of the next presiden-
tial cleo ion, and alsn Of the ELECTION
this yesr as bearing Oh the great
national contsst hit is "pp,o. ching
the wisdom of this determIna ion will
be apparent to all. The work of the
committee will be to establish and
maintain permanent headquarters in
this city. TO collect and distribute
political literature 10 do the prelimin-
airy work in aid of local organization.
to prepare lists of the republican
voters in each county and do all
other necessary work. After estimat-
ing the expenses for the year the
Committee adds that it will be neces-
sary 10 raise the amount by voluntary
contribute ns.
THIS is the first time In the history
of the state that any political party
has ever attempted to maintain per-
maneDt headquarters. The republi-
cans have been forced to pursue this
course by the Peoples party. The
Alliance, it is claimed by them, is
nothing but a full fiedged political
organization, with permanent head
quarters at the capital. Its lecturers
are stump speakers and its continued
growth demands q perfect organization
of the party which must fight it IN
1892. 1t is recognized at republican
headquarters that the fight in 1892
will be with the Peoples party, The
democrats are all going into the new
organization, for the reason that the
leaders OF the new movement are all
making a fight on the force bill and
the tariff.
1t is believed at republican head
quarters that the democrats will not
attempt to elect the attorney general
on a state ticket in 1891. This will
give the combined opposition to the
republican party clear majority OF
40, 900, even if the alliance does not
continue to grow, but merely holds
its own. As the full vote Of the state
was polled ar the recent election,
showing this majority beyond ones
ton, the republicans must. prOselyte
in order to win. The loaves and fishes,
so far as county offices are concerned,
have gone to the peoples party, which
assures them money for campaign
purposes and strong organization IN
each of tie seventy counties carried
| by them.

Gen. Miles declares that this entire
outbreak is the result of raScality,
and Gen. Miles knows. He asserts
that the Indians were starved into the

They have starved simply because the

SIMPLE GIFTS.

! The simplest gifts, like many othe
simple things, seem somehow an
sometimes the most sweetly and sin
cerely significant. The extent o
friendships holy passion and the deptE
of devoted love are measured quite as
accurately in the presentation of a red
rose of fragile beauty as they are in
the gift of a diamond, lasting as the
bosom of the earth from which it nav
be taken. The very scent of the rose,
long after its delicate leaves have
crumbled to dust, will endure with a
fascinating fragrance, and hold in the
heart an exquisite reminder of The one
who pluckedit from some wayside path
aud placed it on the bosom Of beauty,
while the diamond, every dazzling
ray of which represents a monetary
value, is as cold in its cleaning as
the light from an unknown star in the
winter sky.
The cOstliest gifts do not by any
means always bespeak the sincerest
sentiment. He who out of the plen.
titude of his purse and the prodigsl
desire of opulent display, presents
things wrought of precious stones and
finest gold, may not bestow SO much
Of genuine friendship or love, or find
so much of favor as he who sends some
pictured Cupid, whose pointed arrow
is tipped with the intangible silver of
undying passion.
One of the diSinest instances of
fathomless love in all the tales of
tragedy was that of the fair but un-
fortunate Ophelia for the irresolute
Hamlet. Out of her mind mysteri-
ously had passed all interest in the
worlds doings, save as they concerned
the melancholy prince of Denmark,
and yet, one day, on the eve of her
suicide in the cruel stream, she gave
to him naught else but a sprig of rue
and bl ON of rosemary. To this
very dav the pages are sweetly sad
with the SHADOW Of that particular
tragedy, and redo'ent of those same
frail blossoms of OphHlia's holy pas
SIGN.
The suggestion and argument are
that far better is the gift of fragrant
rose. in.o whose red heart has beer
distilled the eternal essence of love,
than that of a priceless gem that only
a queen may wear on her unhappy
head.

There is now no doubt of the cleo

speskership of the house of represent

large majority in that BODY they have

nently right and proper that they
should. They will be responsible for

His legislative experience, knowledge
