In the beginning of his speech at the
opera house Tuesday night, Mr.. Han
back took occasion to say that if he
could not be a republican he would be
a democrat, for he had no sympathy
with an organization that was merely
anoiSy crowd founded upon no govern
ing principle whatever. Will he or
some of the organs of his party be so
kind as to tell us what is the govern
ing principle of the republican party
oftoday? Qn 1890 il was free silver
coinage-today it is against it. "Gov-
erning principle" bah!-ED. Voice.
He belonged to the republican party
because it was the party of advanced
ideas. What are some of those ad-
vanced ideas? Are they legislating in
the interest of the gold bug, the rail.
road, the trust, the m0nopolist and
every other species of class legislation
to the exclusion of any legislation in
the interest of the great wealth-pro-
ducing classes of the country? Let
the history of the last twenty-five years
tell the story. 1t stands written in
characters of blood, which are indel-
ible, upon the journal of the house and
senate of the L. S. congress; some of
them acts that are a disgrace to any
civilized nation. 1t is too late now for

ENLARGED and Well Ventilated.

Perhaps the most popular eating
house in Sumner county is the Rock
Island Restaurant of this city conduct
ed by L. B. Snyder. AT meal times
this place is always crowded with peO-
pie of all classes the merchant, clerk,
banker, travelling man, railroad man,
farmer-in fact, people of both sexes
representing every vocation followed
in this country. The reason for Mr..
and Mrs. Snyder's success in the restau-
rant business is, that the farmer with
his pants legs stuffed into his boots is
made just as welcome as the man who
wears "biled shirt" and delicate scarf.
But the fact that excellent meals are
always served at reasonable prices is
the most attractive and commendable
feature of this house, to which all
boarders will cheerfully certify. The
attention of all who board is especially
called to this restaurant since it has
beer enlarged and remodelled. The
dining room will now seat 100 persons
at one time. 1t is well lighted and has
a free circulation of air. To add to
the comfort of guests while eating the
dining room will be ventilated with
large fans during the summer season.
No flies and the room will not be warm
and sultry. The house is run as dol
lar day house and has forty beds for
sleeping accommodations. The genial
proprietor and a host of assistants will
serve you pleasantly and agreeably.

poor house We learn from the Las
Vegas, New Mexico, Free Press that
this same Faulkner has been found
guilty of murder by the courts at Las
Vegas, and is to be hanged in June.
The evidence shows that he and anoth-
er man, named Lannan, of Bradford,
ILL.,, started from Trinidad, Colorado, to
Oklahoma in a wagon. After they
had been gone from Trinidad only a
few days the body of Lannan was
found and it was clearly evident that
he had been murdered. Faulkner was
found and arrested and he had the
murdered mans pocket book and
watch. This, with other strong evil
dences of his guilt, convicted him.
The Las Vegas paper states that he
has wife in that country and his wife's
sister is a resident of Denver, her name
being Clara Stewart. Faulkner has
been playing a full hand IN the western
country. In some places he passed as
a lawyer under the name of Frank
Woods and in other places as a men,
Der of the Salvation Army under the
assumed name of Frank Decker
When he was sentenced he arose in
the dock and the Las Vegas paper says
he made a splendid speech, strongly
denying his guilt. If his case is not
carried to the supreme courts by his
lawyers he will be hanged June 3.
If the New Mexico people do not give
Faulkner what he deserves he is want
ed in several other places for various
offences.

charged Hast Saturday. The cases

missed save one, and it is laid over
till the next term. The case of the
county surveyor against Sumner cOun-
ty was called Tuesday and argued.
County Attorney Pool demurred to the
evidence and pending the demurrer,
the court required more testimony to
show the necessity of the surveyor
keeping his office open every day in the
week. The further hearing of the case
is set for Saturday of this week. The
call for this sort of evidence may be
construed 70 indicate that the county
surveyors claim for keeping his office
open every day in the week must be
founded on a necessity for so doing.
