tai Epidemic Of Diph-
liberia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. N.-The police 2

investigating the truth of q horrible story
fold Of a colored undertaken. Ernest
Edwards, whose reported recklessness mas
caused, the deaths OF q number OF per
sons from d%iphtheria. The story goes ina.
on July 6 a co ored girl named MAUD
Myers died of ~diphtheria. Edwards was
employed and prepared the body Tor burlai.
On the 18th, the day of the funeral. Ed
wards removed the body rom the 1ceoo1
and put in the casket. Hetook the 1ceoox,
containing the ice and water out into the
court and emptied it OH the ground.
Three colored children living in the
court-Charles Burk, Ignatius Burk ana
MaryF. Davis-ate of the ice. On July 10
the Burk and Davis children were stricken
with diphtheria and died inn few hours.
DR.. Ward Immediately notified the health
officer of the facts, and Dr.. Charles Osmaf,
inspector oil contagious diseases, was SEM
TO investigate the case. He reported on
the 18th thai there was no evidence which
could be secured that would convict Ed

tons, and included in his report an am
davit from Edwards. IN which he denied
that he had deposited the ice in the alley.
He also inclosed a letter of DR.. Sotheran,
which certified to Edwards truthiulness.
The matter was then dropped. Runor,
however, kept the matter alive, and yester-
day the health officer. spurred by the
efforts of a newspaper reporter, looked into
the case, and found that several witnesses
volunteered to swear that Edwards did
throw the ice in the alley. Since the date
OF Maud Myers burial thi ty-two
cases of d~iptheria have occurred in
ST. Mary's court, fifteen Of which proved
fatal. They are traceable, it is said. to the
ice thrown into the court by Edwards from
off Maud Myers coffin. A determination
has been expressed by the authorities to
prosecute Edwards .or perjury and man
slaughter il he is arr sted. Up to the pre-
sent time he has escaped. =

FOR CONSOLIDATION.
A Democrat From Jerry Simpson Home
Gives His Political Experience.

There was a fair sized audience
assembled at the common pleas court
room last night. 1t was the regular meet
ing of the Tilden club and the working
Democrats were there. There was no
regular speakers present. 1t was class
meeting sort of an arrangement and
every one spoke as the spirit moved him.
After the transaction of routine bust
ness, Chairman Amidon announced that
Hon. 7. L. 0'Brien, of Medicine Lodge,
would address the meeting. Mr.. 0'Brien's
short speech was received with a great
deal of enthusiasm. He had been a
democrat all his life, he said, because he
believed in the principles of the demo
cratic party. 81 vent of last fall and
voted a fusion ticket with the republi.
cans. will never do it again. Cheers.
The Alliance down in our county two
years ago we thought did not Use US quite
right so we fused with the republicans and
got two good democrats on the fusion
ticket. Irode all over Barber county and
| told the democrats to vote for the repub-
licans on the fusion ticket, l felt rather
cheap all the time, but l did it.
Laughter. The democrats voted for
the republicans and now for the result
When the vote was counted out one of the
democrats on the ticket had forty votes
more than the strength of his own party
and the other never polled single vote
outside of his own party. This statement
broke the meeting all up and there was
loud cheers and laughter which lasted for
several minutes.
Mr.. 0'Brien said that the democrats in
his county had learned something and
they proposed hereafter to put their votes
where they would do some good. He said
there was great harmony among the
Alliance men and democrats in his county
aud his reference to Jerry Simpson elicit
ed storm of applause. Mr.. 0'Brien
referred to Joe Gibson, an Alliance man
OF Barber county, to prove the truth Of
his statement, and when Mr.. 0'Brien took
his seat there was loud calls for Gibson.
That gentleman arose and was greeted
with liberal applause.
He stated that he had become tired of
the rule of the old crowd and had gone
into this Alliancs movement with the
best slof intentions and he was now
thoroughly convinced that the ascendency
of the Peoples party in Kansas would
give better legislation thar the Republi-
can party had ever given us. He confirm
ed the statement of Mr.. 0'Brien that
there was now the best of feeling betveen
the Alliance men and the democrats in
his county. His declaration that the
democrats and Alliance men we're agreed
that the republican party was responsible
for the vicious legislation Of which all
complained and that any mistake Of the
Peoples party and the democrats this
year that would allow the republicans to
rule this state would not only be mistake
but crime, was loudly eheered.-Beacon.
