G. WASH ROGERS,
He is In the Tolls Charged With
Burning the Records of
Harvey County, Kan.

Many of the older residents of
Sedalla, especially railroad men, will
readily remember G. Wash Rodgers.
He was railroad conductor on the
NJ, X. Il T. He made himself quite
notorious in the strike of operative
railroad men in 1877 as a leader.
marching at their head about the
streets of Sedalia.
He graduated from the strike into
that of ginmill keeper at Newton.
Kansas.
The following special from Wichita
to the Kansas City Journal dated July
81, gives very complete account of
the charge against him:
''On the night of March % the
vaults in the register of deeds office
in Newton, Harvey county, were en-
tered through the walls, and when the
janitor opened the place the next
morning all the records of office since
the organization of the county were
found in ashes. The tools employed
to cut through the wall and five gal
lon oil can, the contents of which had
been poured over the valuable books
and papers, were found in the vault.
Detectives were employed and the
county offered reward Of 80 900, but
no clue was discovered until four
weeks ago, when one of Harvey
county's commissioners, an old friend
of Chief of Police Cone, asked him to
undertake the case. The latter put
Detective Woods to work on it. Link
by link he has welded the chain until
he has got all the evidence necessary
to convict, even to the affidavit of the
actual perpetrator of the work, who
says he got $500 for the lob.
George W. Shirley, of Wichita,
and G. Wash Rogers, Of Newton, are
the men placed behind the bars to-
night, charged with the crime of ar
son. Shirley was arrested here and
halt an hour later Rogers was in the
tolls at Newton. Shirley is a gamb-
Ter and general confidence man, and
he and Rogers were in partnership in
Newton in a saloon. The motive for
the crime is very plain. A man
named Holmes owned the only set of
abstract books in Harvey county out
side of those in possession of the coun-
ty. Holmes got hard up and mort
gagged his books to Rogers, and the
latter foreclOsed on them and obtained
possession.
Afterwards Rogers sold Shirley
halt interest in the books and the two
planned the destruction OF the coun-
tvs records, with fortune in sight in
the event of success, and they have
been reaping a golden harvest ever
since, charging SO for every transfer,
where heretofore it had cost but 30
cents.
The county tried to buy the books,
but Shirley Il Rogers wouldn't sell
until few days ago, when some ugly
threats were uttered and they conclu-
ded to accept $4,000 and the price
would have been paid, it is said, in
few days. Rogers will he brought
down here in the morning, as it is
feared the people of Newton will try
to lynch him. The officers who have
worked up the case say there is no
possible escape from conviction for
the prisoners.

clouds and gloom" tremendous ap
plause.)
Chairman Warner, of the Bi-metal.
list league, now delivered his opening
address. 1.-The most extraordinary con.
dition of affairs" said he meets the
assembling of this convention. The
earth is yielding her fruits in unusual
abundance and rich harvests are being
gathered under favoring skies. There
isenough and to spare, and vet never be-
fore in the history of the country has
there been such widespread fear and
distress, never before such loss of con-
tidence and destruction of credit. To
attribute all this condition to the pres
ent silver purchasing law of the
United States is absurd.
The trouble is in the change of
the money standard. The value of
money may be doubled either by
doubling the weight Of the standard
coins or by destroying half of the
metal out of which the coins are made.
One is as affective as the other. The
establishment of a single gold stand
ard is equivalent to putting the
value of two dollars into one.
1t is doubling the unit and putting
property down one-half. This is
what is going on. To do this and
still require the same number of dol
lars in the payment of debts and taxes
is to sanction spoilation of one class
by the other and talk of such a stand
ard as honest money or such policy
as sound finances is the rankest
Referring to the act of '73 Chair
man Warner said: There was but
one man in the United States senate
who knew the act of '73 demonetized
silver and yet he has never been hung
or shot for treason. Great applause).
This act will be known in history as a
crime of '73. Let the memories of
those who stand with it, rot in oblivion.
Continuing. the speaker said: "Let
both the Serman laws 60 together and
place the county back upon the con-
stitution and law as it stood before
1873"
In conclusion, the speaker de-
nounced the metropolitan newspapers
of the country as being controlled by
the money power and characterized
their editorials as being but the in
spiration and bidding of goldbugs.
The committee on credentials was
appointed, consisting of one member
from each state.
After the appointment of the COM
mittee on rules and business, recess
till 2::3O p. m. was taken.
On reasser,b'iag the committee on
permanent organization reported, rec
ommending Hon. Allen W. Thurman,
of Ohio, son of the "Old Roman" as
permanent chairman.
The report was ratified by unani-
nous vote and Chairman Thurman,
being introduced by the retiring chair
man, was received with great applause
as he began to speak.

''If subscribers order the discon-

1T subscribers move to other
