ist Makes a Disclosure.

Indiana contributed her thousands Of brave
soldiers to the war, and no state bears bet
ter record in that respect than 1t does. In
literature 1t is rapidly acquiring an
place. In war and literature
Solomon Jewell, well known as a writer as
"Sol," has won an honorable position. Dur
ing the late war he was member OF CO. nj,
I'd N. Y. Cavalry and OF the 18th Indiana In
fantry Volunteers. Regarding an important
circumstance he writes as follows:
Several of US old veterans here are using
DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure
and Nerve and Liver Pills, all OF them giving
splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never
used remedies that compare with them. Of
the Pills we must say they are the best COM
bination of the qualities required in o prep
aration of their nature we have ever known.
We have none but words of praise for them.
They are the outgrowth Of a new principle in
medicine, and tone up the system wonder
fully. We say TO all, try these remedies"

VIII Curtis and Scott Meet9

Chairman Howell Jones and Chairman
Harvey, Of the republican and PopuliSt
congressional committees, have been
presented with a petition, or request,
bearing about 200 names Of republicans,
democrats and Populists Of Usage
county. This request is a very modest
one and reads az follows:
We, the undersigned voters Of Usage
county, Kansas, hereby earnestly request
Hon. Charles Curtis, candidate on the re-
publican ticket and Hon. s. M. Scott, can
didase on the Populist ticket, Of the Fourth
congressional distriCt, to meet in Joint dis
cusslon of the political issues Of the day,
and We demand that the ohRirmen of the re-
publican and Populist parties shall make
arrangements for such meeting in Usage
county.
The two chairmen have been informed
that other similar petitions are being
gotten up and may be expected in soon.
Chairman Harvey at once treated the
matter considerably and thought the
debate ought to be arranged for at once,
provided the candidates did not object.
Mr.. Jones is not favorable to the propo-
sition, but says he will think about it.
He doesn't believe much in discussing
issues. The discussion ought to be had
by all means.

The Journal says "Ackerman escaped
in June, but DR.. MCCssey has made no
effort to have him brought back" This
is q celebrate fslsshood, as the Journal
must know il it knows anything Of the
facts. The above statement Of DR.. Nc.

sued and every possible effort made to
find him but in vain. These escapes are

Of the past week were those OF Gov
erno rLewelling and 8. M. Scott at Bur-
lington, Senator PETER at Mound City,
Secretary Osborn at Lsrned, Prof.
Gaines at Fort Scott, and LaWelling,
Scott and BOtkin at Council Grove. The
opposition papers place the number Of
the Burlington audience at 5000. 1t
was more than that.
The Shawnee county. democrats, on
tho instruction Of Brother OVsrmyer,
nominated what they supposed was q
straight stalgsEt ticket. LtnoW turns
out that one Of their candidates, Whoop
TomlinsOn, is a republican, and another,
George Berry, is Populist. They had
nominated Mrs. Case, q rank sufrsRist,
but that mistake was corrected before
the convention adjourned.
The Pullman cooperative club is COM

The COTS Advance, published in
Banker Morrilps neighborinR town, ls
republican paper. It's editor has made
out to swallow sll the dish Of crow ex-
cspt Morrill,, and in explaining his posi-
tion he says: "We are aware that the
state needs to be redeemed from the
mob now in control,but good Godl don't
talk to us Of redemption at the hands OF
Leland and nis hxerS who are RESPONSE
bic for Morrill's nomination. It reminds
one Of Che devil magquerading In the
livery Of heaven"
Some Of these republican "grand
rallies" in Kansas which are being so ex-
tensively advertised, are extremely
amusing, regardless Of their political
aspect. Morrill, and Burton attracted an
audience of about 400 at Pnillipsburg
while Blue, Kirkpatrick Rod Ady wasted
their eloquence on q crowd Of about 800
at Winfield, where Senator Lands and
Rev. Botkin had spoken to 5000 few
days previous, and where the commonest
kind Of an entertainment usually brings
crowd OF several thousand.
John W. Breidenthal is the only bank
commissioner Kansas ever had. Had it
not been for his wstohful eye during
the panic the losses to depositors Of
banks might have reached a frightful
amount. He is severe in enforcing OBJ

90 fair and impartial with bank men
that they can say naught against him.
His predecessor, Mr.. johnson, was noted
TOR nothing except drawing his salary
ana running up enormous bills Of ex-
pense for the state to pay.
Judge @. z. Foots had q splendid
audience at Mslvsrn September II, and

versity OF style and always mixes humor

fare upon this institution. On Septsm-
Ger 2 the Journal had one Of it's accus.
toned slsnders under the following
headlines, which indicate the character
and the snimus Of all that it has to say
upon the subject:

The Journal then states that RAIDER,
Bloomer, Msx6sld and AokermRn an were
at large. To the above DR.. MoCassy rs-
plies:
"At the time this article appeared in
the State Journal, RAIDER and Bloomer
were in the asylum. It is true that
Maxfsld, a truSty who had been on pa
role for years and who had worked
about the boiler-rOom bringing in coal
and taking out cinders, escaped May &
and made his way to his relatives in
Iowa whore he secured q job on the rail-
road. His relatives wrote me shortly
after his escape from the asylum that
he was getting along comfortably, max
ing regular hand and got the usual
wages, aud desired that he bs left alone.
To this l consented.
"Sam AokermRn escaped from At
tendRnt Dolan while out for a walk
down by the river and made his way to
Joplin, Mo. The city marshal there
captured Acksrmsu, found his name on
his clothing but had no warrant to hold
him 30 let him go. Attendant Dolsn
followed his patient to Joplin but
learned that Alderman had left and he
(Dolsn) was unable to trace him any
further and returned to Topeka. The
expenses Of his trip were Sl5. The state
paid half and Dolsn paid the other half
as fine for his carelsssnsss .in permit
ting the patient to escape. 1t is not
true that Dolan was fined or charged
$50 out of his msagre salary for Patient
Bloomer.
"Maxdeld, who is working on the rail-
road in Iowa is left alone at the request
Of his relatives and friends, and Sam
Alderman whom we traced to Joplin,
Mo-, are the only escaped patients out
Of the asylum during the past six months.
People who have known Bloomer for the
past twelve years, claim he ia no more
insane today than he has been during
all this time. It is true that he has q
notion that he settled the boundary line
dispute between Dickinson and Gssry
counties, and that in cleaning out we'll
on his farm fell down the same and trac-
tursd his leg: for this he claims q pen
sion from the government Of 81, 900. He
claims $500 for his supposed settlement
Of the boundary line dispute. Other
wise Bloomer Is harmless. For these
peculiar notions Bloomer was committed
to the asylum about the 18th Of Decem-
ber last and for four or five months has
been on parole. On the 18th Of August
hs went to Silver Lake where he has
ham working among the taPmars cut.

THE CAMPAIGN.

The following self-explanatory COM
mupication has been addressed to the
members of the Democratic territorial
central committee:
Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 26, 1S94.-Dear
Sir: In the course of political events in
Now Mexico the time has arrived for a
meeting of the Democratic territorial
central committee for the purpose of fix
ing the when and where of a Democratic
territorial convention for the nomination
of candidate for delegate to the house
of representatives to succeed Hon. A. DO
seph, whose current term expires on the

Under tho authority in US vested, a

at the hour of II a. m. on the 18th day of
August next.
In additionto the calling of said conven-
ton and apportiening the delegates
thereto among the several counties, other
important business awaits the attention
of the committee. If controlling circum-
stances make it impossible for you to at
tend, please send your proxy to the chair
man or some member of the committee
whom you know will attend, together
with your preferences as to the time and
place of holding said convention.
Cordially yours, J. H. CRIsT,

s.raud Canon or Colorado River,

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A triweekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
7. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

The New MEXICAN is advised that Mr.
Wilson Waddingham, owner of extensive
landed interests in central New Mexico
has succeeded in arranging for the con
struction of several mammoth water stor'
age reservoirs in the Rio Grande valley
during the coming fall and winter. This
system of water storage is the only prac
tical solution of the irrigation problem
for that region, ard where land titles
have been passed on by the land court il
ought not to be difficult to interes
abundant capital in such enterprises.

CRAB FOR THE NEW MEXICAN.

For the best telegraphic news of the
day, all the territorial news, and official
news of the capital, court news, etc, the
public must continue to rely on the New
MEXICAN. No wonder the editor and re-
porter of the Las Vegas Optic have a
scrap daily as to who shall first read the
New MEXICAN. Even Editor Williams
down at Socorro admits that the New
MEXICAN sis the first paper that loses its
wrapper in the Chieftain office" These
craftsmen know good thing when they
see it, and in this respect they do not
widely differ from the average citizen Of
New Mexico.

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
80, 1894, placed in effect new schedule
for it's east Mail" train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 800
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M,
and Pueblo at 700 p. m, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis at
$3.50 u. M, and Chicago at 500 a. NJ, with
a direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. c., and all inter-
mediate points.
This will enable passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific EAST
Mall at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. g.,
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreoable lay-over,
with the advantage of only one change of
cars between Colorado and New York
City, or other eastern points, which is
made in Union Depot
Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars, and
Free Reclining Chair Cars of the latest
design. All trains heated with steam, (no
danger of fire), and lighted with the
famous Pintsch gas light.

The sugar scandal has collapsed fatty

cheap political clap-trap, started by ire

making capital against the Democratic

this, and even Senator Lodge, Republican,
agrees that there was no foundation in
fact for all the scandalous things that
have been said by the press against the
administration. The political liars next
move is now in order.
