Colonel b. T. Wilson, one of the
pioneers OF southeastern Kansas, died at
his home in Fort Scott in the Seth year
of his age. Colonel Wilson came to
Fort Scott in September. 1912, as suit
Ter of the military post here, and re-
NAMED IN that position until the post
was abandoned in 1858. In his life he
figured largely in every important event
in the history of Fort Scott, and was
highly respected by the entire COM
,, munity.
Rev. Shifett in Atchison Champion:
The death of Otto Shaeaer, whose fun
eral have just attended, unlocked as
romantic secret as was ever divulged
in song or story. His death was q
tragedy-struck by lightning while at
prayer-and his funeral was as solemn,
yet as romantic as the world ever saw.
He was buried during an awful storm,
and by accident one of the guns of the
little squad of u. A. R. companions who
fred the last salute over him was loaded
with ball as well as powder. The ball
struck pigeon, snow white, winging its
flight over the old graveyard, and it
fell dead upon the uncovered coffin just
lowered to the bottom of the grave. It
was covered with the same damp earth
beneath which Otto sleeps the eternal
sleep. I hope it is an emblem of that
peace Otto will enjoy in that happy
land where wars are unknown. Otto
had been a soldier, enlisting early,
fighting all through the war, partici-
pating in many of its greatest and most
sanguinary battles, winning the respect
and confidence of every man in the
company or regiment. Mustered out at
San Antonio, Texas, in 1865. Otto chose
and followed until death the peaceful
pursuit of farmer. Otto Shaeher was
a woman, and that was the mystery
death disclosed.

TO THE RESCUE.
The Czar Saves the Favorite Pussy of the
 King of Denmark.

The Czar Saves the Favorite Pussy of the
 King of Denmark.
 Emperors and kings when at home are very much like other people, and it is doubtless in the small amenities of their life that their real character shows itself most truly. An incident of the recent visit of the emperor of Russia to his father-in-law, the king of Denmark, Ut the palace of Amalienborg, is credit able to the czar, though it put him for moment in a ridiculous light.
 Early one morning, soon after the arrival of the cZar at Amalienborg, the sentinels who were guarding the gar den of the palace were astonished to see the emperor come running out of the palace in slippers and shirt-sleeves, gesticulating wildly and shouting loudly.
 The soldiers knew not what to do Had the autocrat of all the Russians lost his reason or been attacked by some mysterious enemy2 The czar soon answered the question by rushing to the corner of the garden where a great barking and bowling was going on. From the window of his sleeping room he had seen one of his big dogs make an attack on the favor ite black cat of King Christian, of Den- mark, and without waiting to summon servant, or even to put on coat, he | had rushed out to rescue the cherished pussy.
 He saved the cat, and no doubt earned the lasting gratitude of the king, his host.

FINNERTY BECOMES EXCITED.

Contradicts Himself in Several Points and
 Says all Black guards are Democrats.
 If the republican party will only en- gage one or two more speakers like the one who spoke in the auditorium last night the democratic national commit tee can call theirs in. If at this late hour any voters mind can be changed, Mir Finnerty did more to help the demo- cratic cause than any speaker who has appeared in Waterbury. He was a striking contrast to Mir Cannon, the Irish American who spoke on the issues of the day, at the auditorium on Tues day evening, from democratic stand point. MT Cannon spoke so kindly and courteously of President Harrison, that more than one democrat"was heard to say that at that point he thought he was listening to republican. Mir Fin nerty, on the contrary, spoke of Mir Cleveland as the ''stuffed prophet" :" which provoked misses among many in the audience.
 As specimen of Mir Finnerty's logic, one or two instances will suffice. He 1 attributed, as all republicans falsely do, the difference in wages between this country and England to protection; but | towards the end of his discourse he for got himself, and told the true reason for | this difference, having lost his head | when he became excited. England" said MT Finnerty, "cannot pay such wages as this country, because of her large population and small territory ' This is the first republican speaker to admit the true reason for the difference in wages between the two countries Build tariff wall to the skies, and con- centrated England's population in the same amount of territory in the United States, and is any man foolish enough to believe that wages would not be reduced to a level with England. Repub lican speakers never compare England's labor market with protected countries il Europe, similarly populated, but witf the immense United States with its il limltable resources and sparse popula tion. But, as MT Cannon said, this is al intellectual campaign and the working men can no longer be fooled.
 Another rich, logical sequence of Nil
 Finnerty's is worth mentioning. Aftel telling his hearers what prosperity awaited them if Harrison should bt elected he became annoyed by some hiss
 ing and yelled at the top of his voice II tell those they have only three week.
 more to be braggy and then they won
 have strength enough to hiss" One O
 his elegant remarks was: "I don't say
 that all democrats are blackguards, bu
 that every blackguard is a democrat.
 Yet this is the man that is expected tt

The contest with Major Mo Guire, which was only partly fought out at the Elm City park, will be con- cluded at New Orleans.
