Priest Drives a Parishioner From Church

BURLINGTON, n. j., May Rev. Father
Tracy, pastor of ST. Paul's Catholic church,
yesterday ordered policeman to eject
Matthew Gayner and daughter. The
officer refused and the priest, drawing a
revolver, forced Gayner 10 arise from his
knees and drove him out of the edifice.
The trouble is said by Miss Gayner to
be due to the fact that she received the at
tentions of Protestant. The priest de-
nounced the companionship from the pull
pit and finally debarred the Gayners from
the church. On several occasions Tracy
has created sensation by his bitter de-
nunciations of members of the church
whom he found guilty of intemperance.
He also denounced dancing in severe
terms. He fourished a revolver in the
pulpit. Gayner will lay complaint before

Finner County Convention.

The Peoples party convention of Fin
ney county met at Garden City on Satur-
day, May 2Sth. Resolutions were adopt
ed, demanding reforms In national and
state governments, and In the administra-
ton of county affairs, and closing as
follows:
That we fully endorse the platform adopt
ed at the st. Louis convention, and the
course pursued by our members in both
houses of congress.
In the furtherance of these ends we ask
the cooperation Of all fair minded people;
we have no quarrels with individuals, wage
no war upon classes, but only against
vicious institutions.
We are not content to endure further
discipline from our present actual rulers,
who, having dominion over money, over
transportation, land, labor and largely over
the press and government machinery, WELD
unwarrantable power over life, liberty and
and property.
The above resolutions were adopted
without dissent.
The following persons were nominated:
For representative, W. R. Berry; probate
Judge, G. H. Godfrey; clerk Of district
court, j. M. Vinzant; superintendent Of
public instruction, A. B. Hurst; county
commissioner, Charles -; county
attorney, Fl. Fl. Artz.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-As the bright sun
of fine May morning began to show
itself above the tree tops and houses Of
this beautiful city, delegates from their
respective townships were seen on our
streets to the Peoples party convention.
The curiosity Of your reporter was
aroused, but on inquiry he soon found
that the Alliances pieces, spoken Of by
the e. o. p., was when they were sent to
conventions.
Proceeding with the delegates to the
court house, temporary organization
was perfected, with N .Myerly as chairman,
and Free Hale IS secretary. Committees
were appointed and the convention ad-
journed, to meet after dinner.
Permanent organization was effected,
with Hon. NJ. r. Sutherland as chair
man.
The committee on credentials reported
each township fully represented. A
more harmonious convention could
not have been held, while each and every
person present was fully inspired for the
work before them. Delegates to sena-
torial, congressional and state conven-
tions were elected. No instructions, but
from the resolutions passed, Jewell
county has no need of milk and water
candidates. We are strictly in 1t for the
sucsess Of the principles Of the Peoples
party, let the chips fall where they may.
A fine body Of men were elected to the
Colby convention, nearly all of whom
are strong Baker men. The state dele
CATION, headed by Hon. E. F. Darnett, is
just such delegation Of men as is safe
for the Peoples party to rely on. A par
tlal interview with the delegates leads
your reporter to say they are nearly all
for W. D. Vincent for governor, and are
for Prof. Gaines, Of Sallna, for state
superintendent Of schools.
What think you of high tariff and
reciprocity, Grover and free silver?
They look very much TO me like two Of a
kind. The people are awake to this fact,
and Jewell county will give a stronger
Peoples party vote this fall than it ever
did II We win only keep in the middle Of
the road. CARLOS MEMO.
