AN OLD STORY.

There are a good many people yet
in Allen county who will read with
almost breathless interest the old
story about the Dalsen murder and
lynching which We reprint from the
Anderson Bulletin. Only one man
was ever placed on trial for participa-
tion in the mob. His name was
Stephens we believe and he was ar
rested nearly ten years after the
event. There is little doubt that
Stephens was in the mob. But it
was an old story. Popular interest
had waned. Dalsen had no friends.
And so the verdict was, mot proven"
Stephens was penniless tramp when
brought to jail here, but he left town
with a new wagon and a fine team
and 500 in money! tribute, OH the
part of some of his friends, to his
graceful failure to remember the
names of any who were supposed to
have composed the mob.

AS Mr.. Winchester has started the
ball rolling, 1 wish to give it kick
also. My choice for our next candI-
date for governor is A. w. Smith.
The fact that we ran him before and
he got beat, is nothing to go by. tits
a we'll known fact that it was not for
lack of good men on our ticket that we
got beat. If we put some other man
at the head of our ticket, We by 30
doing say that our judgment was not
good when we paced Mr.. Smith
there. We started out almost two
years ago to make him our Governor,
so now let us finish the job. It's
going to be just as easy as rolling off
a log this time. Another thing to, is
that a great many others as well as
myself. told almost every man that
we met that we were going to elect
Smith. So now let us not lie about it.

KANSAS EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

KANSAS EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
A hundred or more Hans; editors,
and the wives of some of them, had a
great time at Hutchinson on Monday
and Tuesday of this week. 1t was a
business session only, with no junket
attachment; hut ID. r. Anthony. who
has been attending Kansas editorial
meetings for nearly hundred years,
said it was the most interesting and
successful one he ever saw. There
was a long program, occupying Mon
day evening, and Tuesday ftrenoon
and afternoon; but every paper prom
Used was on hand and the discussion
OF each was spirited and instructive.
On Tuesday evening the members of
the Association were the guests of the
Chicago Ladies Quartette at the
Opera House, and it is certain that no
concert ever had better pleased and
more enthusiastic audience. The con-
ccrtwas followed by banquet at the
Hotel Brunswick, rendered by the
citizens of Hutchinson, which, as a
social function was no less brilliant
and enjoyable chan it was successful
as a gustatory treat. The ladies of
the Quaatette graced the occasion
with their presence, and there were
speeches and songs and good cheer
without end.
There is no partisanship in the AS
ISOLATION, but there was a private
word or two on politics now and then.
Col. ID. r. Anthony could be persuad-
ed, on occasion, to say why he didn't
want Morrill, for Governor. George
w. Martin was there to speak a word
for himself when properly urged. Ed.
Greer was inquiring whether it
wouldn't be a good scheme to send
the editer of the Winfield Courier to
Washington as Congressman-at-
Large. A. w. Smith dropped down
from Mcpherson, greatly surprised
to find that there was any meeting of
editors in Hutchinson! Billy Ed.
wards was there, not as all surprised
to find such a meeting, and with his
button-hole finger and his seductive
whisper in first class working order.
But all that was ION the side", and
cannot properly be made part of the
record.
J. E. Junkin, the efficient secretary,
was deservedly promoted to the office
of president-the former president
having declined the reelection that
was kindly rendered him-and w. j.
Costigan was elected secretary.
