Our Jerry at Home.

Congressman Jerry Simpson and wife
arrived home last Wednesday. He was
met at the depot by the band and old
friends and acquaintances and others
who had not enjoyed his personal &C
qualntance but know him as devoted
friend to the wage-workers and pro-
ducers of the country. Though the fact
OF his arrival had not been generally
known, large procession escorted him
from the depot. The streets were
crowded all afternoon and many were
expecting to hear one Of those master.
ly and able speeches characteristic to
the dauntless congressman, but Mr.
Simpsons health was such that this
could not have been done without
great injury to himself. He is the
same cordial and entertaining Jerry
that he always was and his old friends
are glad to have an opportunity to have
a chat with him.
Mr.. Simpson is still in poor state OF
health but is improving. The change
of climate, he thinks is a great benefit
to him. He says he Is much better than
when he left Washington, and thinks
he can devote the latter part OF this
and the whole of next month to the
campaign. At present, rheumatism
has little the better of our congress
man. but he is stronger than ever or
the economical questions which are now
confronting and 80 vitality CONCERNING
the American people. A big ovation
was given him at Wichita on Labor
Day. Read the account of the meeting
elsewhere in this issue. The laborlne
men are getting their eyes open to the
situation and have learned to recog

the ont-burst Of enthusiasm at Wichits
on the Third. Jerry will speak at XII

A Social Sensation,

From Alva Review.
A suit was filed in the district court
last Friday morning by John A. Moe,
charging Geo. Kemp with assault with
intent to kill. He charges that he was
visiting Miss Nellie Hepsher Thursday
evening when Kemp came in and tried
to shoot him. making criminal accusa-
tiOns, and that finally Kemp shot at
him twice. Gee. Kemp is known in
Kansas to be a peaceabe and honorable
young man, and his side of the story
runs like this: lie has been going
with the young lady since last fall and
they wer5 engaged to be married. He
had recently heard stories Of her inf
deity. and early last week he told her
he was going to Kiowa and would not
return until Sunday. Instead of doing
! so he came to town Thursday evening
and watched the apartments Of his f.
ancee. He saw Moe enter and the light
extinguished, and after waiting over an
hour to see that no one came out he
knocked at the front door. He was
| dLICl Dl
the young lady, who was alone and in
dishabllle. He asked for drink of wa
ter and as she started for the kitchen
he followed. She tried to prevent him
but to no avail ,andas he pulled thedoor
back Moe struck him. He drew his
pistol and stood Moe off, after which
they quarreled for some time. Moe f.
nally managed TO slip through the door
behind Mr.. Hepsher, who had been
called on the scene, and as he started
to run Kemp shot twice to scare
him. If that was his object he Ger
tainly succeeded Under the impress
sion that he would be killed Moe re-
manned in hiding all night, while Kemp
was arrested and placed in Jail but was
bailed out early in the morning. Moe
claims that he was there on business
The case will come up IN the dlstrlc,
court November 9th, and promises tc
be highly sensational. Our usually
peaceful city was quite wrought up
over the matter, as is usual in such
cases. Moe is one of the townsite
board at this place and has family in
Wisconsin, and Geo. Kemp is an in
dustrious young man of excellent hab-
its who lives on farm southeast OF
