more direct reply, he said, to Influence sOtsEG-
nOn."
Continuing his testimony on Janu-
sry 3, 1890, Mr.. Fuller insisted that
this money was paid for attorneys
fees, but his admission on December
80, 1889, that it was to influence leg
islation " leaves no doubt as to the
particular capacity in which he acted
as attorney for this wildcat company.
AS representative in the Legislature
he acted as such attorney to secure
Legislation favorable to the Company's
interests, or to prevent such as was
unfavorsble; and in this undertaking
his efforts were seconded by that we'll

The Emporia Republican grows
desperate in its appeal to the old
soldiers Of Kansas to turn down the
Peoples party. But it lies shsmefully
when it states that the ADVOCATE
"heaped abuse" upon the old SOL
diers Of Kansas in speaking of the
political outrage in Wichita. We did
heap abuses upon the political shys-
ters who managed the reunion at
Wichita, and we have some more
abuses in store for them. Now we
assert that Botkin is a criminal of so
vile q character that if vote were
taken among the old soldiers of Kan
sas, nine-tenths Of them, republicans
and all, would protest against allow
ing him to speak at their reunions.
And we repeat upon soldiers su-
thority that Geo. 7. Anthony was not
a soldier in the real sense of the
term, but that he acted as a coward
and q common swindler while in the
army, and that by republican testi-
mony he stands convicted Of embez-
element, false swearing, and defrsud-
ing of creditors since the war. Also
that upon his own evidence he is con-
vlCted of willfully violating the con-
stitution Of Kansas while acting as
governor. We also repeat that Jerry
Simpson was not invited by any au-
thorized committee to speak at the
aforementioned reunion, and there
fore had no right to speak there. II
the Emporia Republican can deny
any of the above, we shall be glad to
apologize. What are you going to do
about itl

and if you are men, and regard your
own interests and the welfare of the
entire country, cast your votes this
year for g party that is pledged to
restore silver to its former position as
a money metal regardless of the will
or the dictation Of foreign powers
What the American people need is an
American, and not a British system
of finance, and we require no instruc-
tions from British subjects as to what
that system shall be. Let American
voters vote once for American inter-
egts.

THE Great West and one or two
other exchanges reproduce the Chi
cago Daily Press fake purporting to
be a Wall street circular. The thing
originated in the fertile brain Of f.
w. Gilmore, who held position for
a time on the Press. He has been
challenged time and again to produce
the original If il is genuine, and has
failed to do so. The thing is q fraud,
and so is its author, and neither Of
them is worthy Of the confidence Of
the people

WHAT GRAND PATRIOTS.
The Atchison county republican
convention adopted the following
among other clap-trap resolutions:

RGsOlUed, That the men who saved the union
are entitled to fair and honorable recognition
from the nation, and we unqualfedly condemn
the sentiment now advocated by the alliance
party and their allies, the democracy Of this
state and county, that In order to forget the past
patriots shall be relegated to the rear, and
traitors advanced to places Of public trust.
Now, as q plain matter Of fact the
Peoples party has more soldiers on
it's ticket than the republican party,
and none of them are accused of be-
ing towards, tyrants or thieves. 1t
boasts no such "pstriots" J" as Geo. 7.
Anthony, Ralph Burton or Bruce
Lynch, nor does it care to. The less
the republican party has to say this
year about its soldier candidates, the
less will be their humiliation.

THEY SKIPPED.
Two Heightened Married Couples Leave
Their Creditors.

Two Heightened Married Couples Leave
Their Creditors.
About two months ago q couple of
young m en- and their toney wives ar
rived in Riverside from Chicago, says
the Enterprise of the former place.
They came in style and attracted the
attention of the whole city. Their
names were Joe Beall and Howard, both
of whom were always dressed in gorgeous
habilinents for men who never worked.
Last Saturday they departed from
Riverside, leaving numerous creditors
to mourn their departure. Both the
fellows had always appeared as having
money to throw at birds and number
of business men were not slow in giving
them credit. These young rascals took
advantage of several stores and secured
goods and furniture to the amount of
several hundred dollars. From the
groceryman, the milkman, the drygoods
store, the furniture dealer, and the ice
cream vendor, these newly spliced
couple secured valuable sum-ice cream
alone to the amount of SO and other
things in proportion.
Having got to the end of their tether,
they eaid they were going to Long
Beach for few days. They had packed
up-everything they could handle easily,
and left for parts unknown, the beach
having no attraction for them.
On arriving at Sacramento they sent
the key to their rented mansion back to
the furniture dealer, with instructions
for him, to enter the house and take his
furniture, some of which had been car
ried away with them.

The Jap Swallowed the Snake.

A wonderful story reaches us from
Japan of snake swallower who has
outdone all forerunners in the art. One
called Saito Tora-no-suke was one day
breaking up some land, when he came
upon a snake three feet long. Seizing
it in his hands he called out to his com
panions that if they would give him four
dollars he would swallow the snake.
Although dollars are scarce in Japan it
is stated that the money was at once
subscribed, the onlookers not believing
that the bet would be won.
But, true to his word, Saito put the
head of the creature into his mouth and
swallowed the whole three feet Of snake
without difficulty. The punishment Of
his temerity was swift and fell. While
his companions were gazing at him,
speechless with horror and astonishment.
he was seen to change color and fall to
the ground in great pain, and he died in
few minutes. st, James Budget.

coal crusher is being put in, which will
greatly increase the output of the mines.

be really excellent. The silver mines
are also looking up, and two mills with
Freeman's dry concentrator process will
soon be in operation. Interesting devel-
opments are expected in few weeks.

HE is A SPORT.
The Evolution of u Pomona Host1er Into
Hfph R0IIer.

The Evolution of q Pomona Hostler Into
High Roller.
Henry Meekins' name appears in the
newspapers among the sports who
made a small fortune in betting on
Corbett in the bloody combat at New
Orleans recently. There are a number
of people in Pomona, says the Progress
of that city, who remember Meekins
when he was laborer and hostler OF
the late Otto Mueller in this place, only
five or elk years ago. Meekins was then
an ignorant, tall, raw-boned, shabby
fellow, about twenty-five years old, and
he WAS glad to get job at $50 month
and board. He worked here for nine or
ten months, and gave no evidence of
ever being anything but plodding
laborer all his life.
1t seems that he went from here to
st. Louis, and became the keeper of
trOtting horses for rich man. By
degrees he got into the life Of sport, and
fs ivs year or two followed the races
as boss OF the Jockeys. He
has msde for himself a reputa-
ton of being great bettor and
an expert in judging the speed Of run
ming horses The st. Louis Democrat
puts his winnings at races at $21, 900
this season. and says he owns property
worth 1000 or $40, 900. Meekins is q
friend of Corbett, and bet his every
available dollar on the contest between
the sluggers. His winnings in one eve
ming were $26 600, and he told reporter
that he was going to put half of it in a
new house at once.
1t may be interesting to add that
Meekins has brother, Rev. Arthur
Meekins, who took honors at Dartmouth
college in 1884, and who is a famous
Greek scholar. The Rev. Meekins is
most devout and earnest clergyman
with q lovable character in Kansas. His
salary is 5000 year and the use of a
$500 parsonage. He has large family,
and finds it difficult to make ends meet.
