No Time for Recrimination.

Democrats may have some very IN
tense convictions regarding their
recent defeat ard its causes, but it IS
not necessary to air harsh opinions.
Silence is sometimes golden, and a
clamor of tongues after the battle is
over cannot change the result. We do
not want any crying over spilled milk
no grumbliDg, growing and complain
ing. 1t takes something besides talk
to mend broken bones.
Some democrats may think that GER
tain others democrats have blundered,
but it will do no good to constantly tell
them so. We should give or brethren
who hold different views credit for 10y
atty and sincerity, and instead of ex-
citing their resentment by ill-timed
lectures, we should urge the necessity
of getting together and pulling to-
gether on the Chicago platform.
This is an off year and we can well
afford to lose several states if we profit
by the lessons of the defeat, and
make it stepping stone to victory
next year. Democrats will now take
counsel of their second sober thought,
and the central idea in their minds
will be the reflection that the financial
and tariff pledges of the Chicago plat
form caused the overwhelming triumph
of the democracy in 1892. These
promises won the support of the mass
es, secured their ratification of the
platform, and it is impossible to doubt
that our hopes of future success are
bound up in the pledges which have
been so heartily endorsed by the peo-
pie. There is danger in every step that
leads us away from the platform, aud
safety in every effort that we make to
carry 1t into effect.
We believe that democrats OF every
shade of belief will come TO this con
clusiOn, and we expect to see them
compromising .their differences and
solidifying their ranks. Let US have
no recrimination-nO reproofs. The
thing to do now is to plant ourselves
squarely on the platform and aid the
president and congress in the work Of
redeeming the pledges of the party
Atlanta Constitution.

IA Bold Rnhharu y

One of the boldest robberies that has
ever been committed in this part of the
country occurred in this city early
Thursday morning. During the night
Mr.. NJ. F. Campbell the harness
dealer, and late peoples party candi-
date for county commissioner, was
awakened from sleep by noise, and
upon getting up discovered that two
men were in his house. Before he
could get light they became aware
that they had been detected and fed.
Mr.. Campbell felt restless the balance
of the night, could not sleep, and about
six O'Clock got up and came down town
to his shop. Opening the front door
he went in, and after getting ready to
sweep out, unfastened and opened the
back door. Two men Immediately
stepped in, one of them presenting a
double barrel shot gun and demanding
his money. Mr.. Campbell undertook
to grab the gun and was shot in the left
hand. the charge of shot tearing the
hand almost to pieces. The men then
jumped onto Mr.. Campbell and together
they held him and robbed him of S175.
After committing the robbery the men
ran out of the back door and disap.
peared. leaving the gun with which they
shot Mr.. Campbell laying on the floor.
Mr.. Campbell then went to the Lindell
hotel and gave the alarm, there being
no one on the street in hailing distance,
but those in the hotel office devoted
their attention to caring for his wound.
and the robbers had sometime to hide
or leave town before the pursuit began.
The wound which Mr.. Campbell re-
ceived in the hand proved to be mos
serious, and the member had to be
amputated at the wrist. Eagle

This awful story We clipped from the
Eagle Optic of last week. But tall
with County Attorney Cline leads US t.
suspect that the 'bold robbery, bust
ness was bold fake, and that the man
Campbell has fallen down and stepped
on himself in great shape. Lates
developments go to show that Campbell
carried a large accident insurance
policy; that he was hard up and with
out funds. He claimed that the rob
bers cleft the shot gun" when they hae
robbed him, and it is proven that ht
himself had visited Great Bend ano
bought the gun at G. N. & E. r. Moses

Zutavern he wanted the gun takeI
apart and done up in small package
as he was on horseback and would til
it on behind the saddle, when the fact
are that he made bee line for tn
depot and took the Santa Fe train ives
| to Larned. When that story of tn
robbery reached here Mr.. Hege tol'
of Campbell's having bought the gun
this fact was telegraphed to Larned
and led to the discovery of the Who'll

oID SILVER MINE.
It Was Wprs,a Ew.ntv,
YIa,s Ago.
d. q. Clippard is Close to
Payihk Ore.

In the year Of 1871 John
Smith and a Mr.. Samson, old and
practical, experienced miners,
sank . shaft to the depth Of
thirty-two feet On the land that
nyw belongs to Ed Kinder about
a mile east of Marble Hill. They
were sagguine Of finding silver.
They stayed at Philip HahD's
and on a certain evening told
him that the next. night they
would bring silver re to the
house. AT noon the next day
they did not come to dinner and
Hontz Hahn, then a boy, went
to the shaft to tell them that
their meal was ready. When
be arrived there he found them
both dead. They had been suf-
fcated by the damps. Robert
Fischer, who is now city mar
sAal of Marble Hill, pulled them
out of the shaft. =
The place was neglected and
soon the shaft filled up, leaving
in it all the tools used by the
miners. Some time ago D. G.,
Clippard secured a twentv
years lease on part of the land.
He began prospecting about
one hundred yards from the old
shaft. He now has a ledge
eight foot high blasted to expo
sure. The face is a continuous
stone, without a seam. 1t pre-,
sents a blush gray on the top
and runs into a yellow color at
the bottom. Stone from the top
of the ledge, when put under a
strong magnitier' at DR.. w. G.
Talley's showed strong traces Of
silver.
MIR. Clippard is now down al
most to a level with the bottom
of the old shaft. He informs
The editor that if he does not
strike good ore soon he will
clean out the old shaft and be-
gin work there. He believes
that the perfect confidence OF
Smith and Samson, who were
experienced miners, is worth
much. ...-. >.--.----,..--,---,
