The third state convention of the
Peoples party of the state of Kansas
convened Tuesday morning at II
o'clock in Hamilton hall in Topeka.
The Daily Press, Cdemocratic)
which we largely quote in this report
says: There YVES striking contrast
between this gathering and the repub-
lican aSSemblage at the same place
last week. The latter was made I'D
OF bankers. lawyers and professional
men; of ringsterS, wire pullerS, mon
opoly cappers and hangers on whose
motto death to Populism," is
admirably met by one of the notices
in the Peoples convention, 'Populism
means the cause of the common peo-
ple."
The convention may be truly
described as a convention of the peO-
pie, when the fact is taken into con-
Slderation that the farmers vote
represents 20 per cent of the entire
vote of the state. 1t needs but a
glance over the space occupied by the
delegates to discover that they are
exactly what they pretend to be and
that they mean business.
Everything had been we'll arranged.
and there was no confusion or disor-
der-only an intense anxiety to
obtain admission at the earliest posi-.
BILE moment and watch the proceed
ings from start to finish.
The decorations of the hall were
much more elaborate than those Of
the preceding convention. In fact
the hall was more elabOrately decor
ated than ever before.
Inc stage was especially beautiful
with its prOfuSiOn Of palms, its flags
and banners, and the throng of pretty
women.
The graceful folds of an American
flag ornamented the center of the
ceiling above the stage, while above
the proScenium arch were portraits of
Washington and Lincoln, beneath
which was large hanger bearing the
words, The Peoples Party The
national cOlOrs met the eye in every
portion Of the hall.
ANEAT TAKE OFF.
Among the conspicuous features Of
the Republican decorations was a
large hanger on the wall to the left
of the stage bearing the words Death
to POpulism." This was left in place.

MON ~

What is known as General Hogan's
Army of the Common Veal" about
three hundred strong, landed here,
Monday, and paraded through the
streets. General" Hogan was not with
them. lie was more fortunate than the
others, and is now being cared for in the
jail at Helena, Montana. The army was
enlisted at Butte, Montana, and is sup
posed to be travelling to Washington.
The army has fifteen fiat boats, and is
making the journey by the water route,
so far as they can, down stream.
A glance at the men is sufficient to
convince any one that when they strike
the Ohio river they will disband. That
gang is not going to pull boats up stream.
The personnel of the outfit is no credit
to America. The men are pi~tures of
health and strength. Though ragged and
dirty, they can not conceal their indo-
lence. A sleepier, harder, rougher look
ing crow never paraded our streets.
Upon landing here they were greeted by
the negro band and Thomas Il. McGregor,
who urged them to parade the streets.
The procession was started Mt the river,
and was escorted through the city by the
band, Tom. Harvey, Elias Spruce, Pete
O'Malley, II. b. McGregor, Jim. Gates, ct
cetera. Banners OF various designs and
notices were carried by the common
wealers. ave Come in Peace" "Keep
off the Grass" son Our Way to Wash
ington to Meet Grover Cleveland" are
samples Of the banners they paraded. We
heard but one man in the crowd cheer for
Coxey. That was McGregor. After they
had walked around and made a display
they went to the river, where the leader
of the ''army" and McGregor made
speeches."
After camping here n day and a night,
they left, Tuesday morning. They were
welcome to leave.

IMPORTANT LAND SUITS.

About the year 1878, Mr.. John L. Bur-
den was employed by the legatees of
Judge b. f. Graves, OF Lexington, KY, to
recover certain lands devised the said
legatees, lying in Texas and Missouri.
The lands IN Texas and Southern Missouri
were recovered, and In 1883 proceedings
were commenced to recover a portion OF
the lands lying in North Missouri, and
last week the Supreme Court finally
decided the adverse claim to the same in
favor OF the legatees, awarding, besides
the lands recovered, damages of about
5000. The questions in issue were
twice before the Supreme Court.
The heirs of the late Robert Cotton, OF
Arkansas, having learned Of Mr.. Bur-
denis great success in the suits of our
county man, Mr.. j. j. Warden, in the
Federal and State Courts of Arkansas, for
very valuable land lying in the suburbs
of Pine Bluff, are now negotiating with
him with a view to his retainer as their
attorney in a suit involving the title to
real estate in the city of Memphis, Tenn,
OF the value of 20, 1000, 900.

SELLS BROTHERS,

Kansas City Journal: Yesterday was a
day long to be remembered by the people
OF Kansas City. BY bringing their i'm
mense and unrivaled circus combined
with their monster menagerie and hippo
drome to the city, and giving a brilliant
street parade and two performances under
the canvas, Sells Bros. gave to the aged,
the middle aged Inc the young of both
sexes an opportunity for pleasure Inc
study that they could have obtained in no
other way. The pleasure was derived from
seeing an array Of star performers in the
rings Of the circus such as has never been
seen in Kansas City, and those Of a stud
ious turn Of mind found much to interest
and instruct them in the large collection
of rare animals and birds.
The band wagons and wagons contain.
ing the lions and tigers, the seals and the
hippopotami, the monkeys, the ostriches
and other animals and birds formed in
line at Fifteenth and Vine street at 10
o'clock a. m. Sandwitched in between
the wagons were droves of elephants and
camels.
The performers, in splendid ~cavalcade,
proceeded the first of ban wagons
and in the line Of the parade were some Of
the clowns, who, by their grotesque ac-
tions and grimmaces added greatly to
the amusement Of the vast crowds that
lined the sidewalks and almost blockaded
the crossing. In every door and window
on each of the streets through which the
procession passed were men, women and
children, all anxious to gaze upon the
panorama of beauty that was being I'M
folded before their gaze like a glimpse OF
fairy land, and excelling the s%plendors OF
far famed Oriental pageants.
But the street parade, grand as it was,
proved only a mere reminder Of many
marvellous feats to be witnessed beneath
the vast canvas, covering acres of ground
and seating over 1900 people. Long be-
fore the time for beginning the afternoon
performance there was a large crowd OF
humanity at the main entrance of the
tent, each striving to get in first so as to
see the many wonders OF the menagerie
before taking their seats.

HIaaINsVILLE "POW-WOW.,

Doctors Carter, Fulkerson, Webb, Jones,
Ellifrit and Kelley are all nice, intelli-
gent, well-informed, not at all idle. but
very industrious, gentlemen. None of
them nave any bad habits. Carter reads
many works pertaining to his profession.
He also entertains much in his office,
besides his reading. He and Judge
Chamblin are the most witty men in
town. Grove Young is the best posted
on business and the questions
of the day. He, Captain Thornton, Drs.
Carter, Ellifrit, Fulkerson, Captain Mark
Belt and DIR. Webb are all good states
rights men. Captain Thornton is the
best on constitutional law, and economic
questions in a short talk. Captain Belt
is full Of gentle politeness and kindness,
as are all Of the above mentioned. These
men are IN honor to any community, in
their intelligence, habits and kind treat
ment of strangers and friends. They will
do to show anywhere. Samuel Downing
and Henry Boyer can't be confused, or
leased into vexation. They are as steady
as a clock in their hardware business.
They are very fond of company in their
store. Hiram Campbell, DR.. Seeber, and
Charles Hoefer & Sons, are all very sober,
industrious business men in their three
respective banks. DR.. Fulkerson is a man
OF a good mind, n full Of spunk, kind
ness Inc self defense, but never in a
quarrel. Our postmaster and assistant
are among the very best of accommodating
and living models in office. They give
the closest and best attention to all Office
calls. Mr.. Swartz, our mayor, is naturally
very kind, as his mild and gentle voice
fully indicates. He is one of the bes
German scholars and teachers in thil
country. He has a university education
good in several respects, especially topo
graphical engineering. Tom. Walker

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.

Our miners are still out of work, and no
compromise has yet been cached. The
operators are unable to pay the wages
they demand, and get in the market, and
the miners nave made a price, driven a
tack in it, and, as long as they are lead by
McGregor they will not listen to a com
promise. At the price offered they can
make from s1.5O to $3.50 per day. This,
they claim, is not enough to live on, and
consequently they have no intention of
accepting work until they get what they
demand. 1t is hard for us all to work at
"hard times prices, yet we are compelled
to do it, many of us. The miners should
consider well before they spend much
more time in idleness.
From the Richmond Democrat we learn
that the Richmond miners held a ratiHca-
ton, the other night. McGregor had
Informed them that Mr.. McGrew was
going to open his mines at four and one-
half cents per bushel. Mr.. G. A. Hughes
visited Lexington, Monday, to learn the
foundation Of the report, and found that
facts lid not s~ubstantiate it. Mr.. Nc
Grew is repairing his mines, and has
about thirty men at work cleaning them
out.
The Lexington Coal Company's mines
are in good shape, and any time the
miners will accede to the compromise
they can go TO work. This company
employs about five hundred miners.
The Richmond Democrat has this to
say: "We understand that McGregor is
becoming unpopular among the people
of Lexington, miners and all, m has
been denounced. They claim he has
caused estrangement, and but for him
settlement would nave been made long
ago. As long as the strike continues, he
draws a salary Of 800 per month; when
the strike ceases, salary ceases, hence his
desire to indefinitely prolong the strug-
giles. At any rate he maliciously misrep-
resented affairs when he ~telegraphed the
fake about McGrew to Richmond"

DEATHS.

Died, at Omaha, Nebraska, Monday
morning, July 10th, 1891, Mr.. Jacob X.
Hendrix, aged 81 years.
Mr.. Hendrix was bCrn in Pennsylvania.
lie came to Lafayette county in 1856, and
taught school at Prairie church and at the
Burns school house until the war broke
out, when he volunteered on the confed-
crate side and fought four years for what
he thought was right. He was a membe
of Rulfner's battery, and as good a soldier
as that celebrated command had in it's
ranks. lie was always ready for duty
either for camp or battle. At the close of
the war he returned to this county, and
remained some years, but finally located
in business at Omaha, Nebraska. He
married Miss Sarah NJ. Bradley IN Janua-
ry, 1875, and they at once returned to
Omaha, where they have since resided.
They have no children. lie was a membe
of the Baptist church for n number of
years, but Joined the Presbyterian church
eighteen years ago, and was an active
Christian worker up to the day of his
death. lie was well known all over this
county, and the universal verdict is that
"he was naturally n coed man." His pas
tor, DIR. Gordon, of Omaha, who accom-
panied the remains to this place, paid his
memory "A tribute at the grave, by saying
that he was rs good II soldier for Christ as
he had been for the confcderacy. The

and friends in their grief over the loss OF
this good man.
