BAD BLOW TO FLYERS.

Plan of the PopuIist Machine to Secure
Fusion to Be Smashed.
The Populists in the Second district
are about to have more trouble about their
congressional nomination than the Re-
publicans, who have adjourned their con-
vention to July 10
As announced few days ago the Pop
ulist congressional committee postponed
the date of their convention from June
% to July IL at Paola, two days after the
time for holding the adjourned session
or the Republican convention at Law
renee.
Today r H Semple, chairman of
the congressional committee received
a telegram from c. B. Hewlett, a dele
gate from WyandOtte county to the Paola
convention, in which he said the commit
tee had no right to postpone the date of
holding the convention and as a MAORI
ty of the delegates favored the original
date they will meet at Paola June 22nd,
and nominate a candidate for congress
regardless of the action of the commit
tee.
Chairman Semple wired back to Mr..
Hewlett that the delegates have no au-
thority to meet at any time or place with
out the consent Of the committee.
The convention was postponed in the
interest of a fusion nominee in case
Funston is nominated by the Republican
convention. Six members out of the
nine on the committee voted for the post
ponement of the convention
1t is understood that the scheme of Mr..
Hewlett aud his supporters is to meet at
PaOla Friday and with the assistance OF
the delegates from Bourbon, Miami and
Anderson counties, the Wyandotte coun-
ty Populists will nominate State Senator
Edwin Taylor Of Kansas City, Kansas,
for congress.
Taylor is bitter enemy of the state
adr ,iGfr
effort will be made to sidetrack the
scheme to place him in nomination on
Friday.
The administration charges Taylor
with being a fusionist himself and say
he was elected by fusion votes, but Tay-
lor's friends say he was elected as an in
dependent, defeating Billy Buchan.
Whatever the true inwardness of the
trouble may be, there will be an interest
ing meeting at Paola on Friday and
there may be two POpulist candidates
for congress in the Second district this
year.

cough"
Chief Cone at once ordered some of
the men to fud a place to put up
and the women were taken to u
room in the basement where sleeping ac-
commodations were provided for them.
Their story is a sad one.
The two women are sisters, and to-
gether with the husband of one of the
women they made the race into the
Cherokee strip last fall A claim was
secured and prosperity seemed to be
theirs. But first the husband sickened
and died, leaving the women alone.
Then they tried to farm this spring. A
long dry spell ruined their crops and,
being penniless, they concluded to travel
back to Illinois by wagon as they had
come On the road the child was taken
sick, and the heavy rain soaked the en-
tire party. They have resumed their
lonely and sad journey back toward their
old home
