found murdered In her home in the SUI
burbs of Denison Dec. 10TH Her head
was split open and an ak lying near was
kevldently the weapon used. The MUIR
dered woman's husband is a teamster,
and it is supposed he is the murderer.
He has disappeared. taking with him
his 9-year-oId daughter. The motivefor
the crime is mystery. This is the
twenty-third murder in this tGrayson)
county this year.
Larned e-Optic: 1t is authorita-
lively announced that Judge j. ID. Nc
! Cleverty, of Fort Scott. is in The race
for United States senator to succeed b.
w. Perkins. He is endorsed by the
Lantern of Fort Scott. official organ of
| Bourbon county and of the peoples
party. Judge McCleyerty is a former
democrat.
! Wichita Beacon: These stalwart
democrats. so called, have succeeded in
getting themselves outside of every par
ty and they are more to be pitied than
censured. y man THAT goes wrong and
shows courage in defending his posi-
| ton, gains certain respect, but the
| one important element lacking IN po-
| lItical traitor is conviction, The stall
warts were not contendIng for primer
pie. Their object and aim was to elect
the republican ticket.
Ashland Journal: J.M.Clay, who has
resided in this part of the county for
nearly year, was arrested last evening
on the charge of stealing horse IN
Greenwood county. Sheriff Smith of
Greenwood county made the arrest at a
late nour. This morning, H. j. Bone
as attorney for Clay got out writ of
habeas corpus for the release of the
prisoner. The case was called at 8
O'Clock a. M, before Judge F. G, Price
and the prisoner discharged on the
grounds that the warrant was illegal.
Larned Eagle-Optic: Republican
progressiveness, of which we heard so
much during the campaign, comes high.
One of the first things that congress
was called upon to do when it re- con-
vened last week, was to present a bill
authorizing the government to make a
loan of SIS 100000 to make good the
treasury deficit made by republican
protiigacy during the last four years.
'Coldwater Star: 1t is said that APP
pointments fir ON the Cleveland admin
lstration are coqueting with Oklahoma
ans in manner that would seem ex-
Coldwater democrats have been ''loil''
set of fellows during their four years
pilgrimage. 1t is understood that Robt.
G. Palmer will ask for the U. s. marsh
alship of the territory; Lee n. Wallis
would take the superintendency ofpub-
lie instruction if offered him, and Judge
jennings has his weather eye'' on an
Indian agency.
X. G. Star: Hicks hit 1t to a dot.
Away with Jerry Rusk! He can't pre-
dict the weather tweniy-four hours af-
ter the returns are in. Old man Hicks
can sit down in little old st. Louis with
his chillblainS in Shellac and brown pa
per and make more weather in a month
than Jerry can use IN a year, and when
1t comes to prophesying Hicks can tie
both hands behind him and beat Rusk.
And now let the man who has pulp
with Hicks be given Cabinet position
with the explicit pledge that he will
keep the old man IN good humor Tor
the next four years. There should be
no such breaks as the present weather
while Mr.. Cleveland is president.
X. G. Star: simultaneously with the
announcement from Mr.. Jerry Simp-
sons own lips that he is senatorial
candidate comes the denial that he is to
move his place Of residence from Med
iclne Lodge to Wichita. And there can
be no doubt that Mr. Simpsons decis-
ion to remain on his native health is as
wise as the denial in question is timely.
For there is nothing, to use a Wichita
ism, that would queer Mr.. Simpson
with the yeOmanry SO suddenly and SO
irrevocably as the leaving of the town
that fathered and mothered him, and
hleing in the moment of success to the
brilliant metropolis, with it's electric
cars, its seductive Coronado club and Its
soft, mellow, disintegrating liquors. at
Medicine Lodge Jerry was marshal: on
its corners he has argued religion with
the parsons, and in its grocery stores he
has talked tariff till closing time. It's
clothiers know his ''size;" its mothers
know what part of the chicken he pre-
fers. He has lifted the town from OBJ
security and he has stood up with it and
for it. Wichita has her great men
Murdoch, Mrs. Lease and the special
newspaper liar; but Medicine Lodge has
only one son ard that son is Jerry. 1t
is we'll that he should not depart from
her.
A man named Edward Benson got
drunk and lay out in an alley in Kan
sas City, during the fearful blizzard on
Christm as night, and was frozen to
death. Other deaths by freezing dur
ing that storm, are also reported.
