EDITOR ADvocATE:-I desire to write
q note Of oongrStulstiOn to the late state
convention. They did their work well
and stayed in the middle of the road.
The nominating Of the state officers,
with the exception Of two, was right.
No man in America to-day has been and
is being 80 mRliciously and systemsti-
cally mRligned "a Governor LeWelling,
and it is fitting that he be indorsed.
Tne platform is clear cut and to the
point. What contrast between it and
the late republican production. Can
any patriotic man vote for such miser-
able sberrRtionP Mr.. Editor, l make the
suggestion that the platforms Of the re-
publican party on the silver question for
the past twenty years be reproduced
and placed along side Of their recent
utterances on this issue. l believe it
is one Of the best campaign documents
that can be used. With Zsrcher's letters
there are from twenty to 100 farmers in
every county who can challenge the re-
publicsns and drive them into their
holes. So l say challenge them all along
the lines; meet them at their meetings
and ask them questions; drive them TO
the wall. This is not q defensive cam
paign, but an offensive one. They viii
not discuss economic question and
their record is 90 rotten that they forgot

The above facts coming TO the knoWl.
edge Of the writer he thought that it
was about time that the people OF Shaw
nee county should have some relief, even
il the prisoner bad no rights which the
court was bound to, or would respect,
and as there was NO hope that relief
would come through the officers whom
the people had elected to look after their
interests, hs therefore at once applied
to Hon. 2. T. Hazen, Of the district court,
for q writ Of hRbeas corpus for the
prisoner, which was granted, and the
hearing set for the 2lst. Upon the hear
ing the county attorney admitted that
the complaint originally fled in the case
gave the justice no jurisdiction to issue
o warrant and that the warrant 80 issued
was void and made no attempt to de-
fend it. Judge HRzen held the whole
proceedings void and characterized the
long delay as an outrage upon the con-
stitutionRl rights Of the prisoner and
ordered him discharged.
The above is q plain statement OF the
facts in the case which can be verified
by the records Of the courts and the
files in the governors office. IL may be
said that the prisoner was "hobo" and
entitled to no consideration, and has no
rights which q republican civilization is
bound to respect, but l ask in the name
OF all that is good and great, can the
taxpayers Of Shawnee county throw up
their hats and yell for the success Of q
party whose officers will, upon mere
hearsSy, issue an illegal warrant to
arrest even "hobo," who lB beyond the
limits of the state, and who will 20 near

copy OF complaint shown the governor,
to give someone q job and junketlng
trip to Denver to bring him back and
force upon him the hospitslitiss Of the
county Jail at the expense Of the tax
payers Of the county. Let the people
demand Of the county commissioners
that not one cent Of the costs Of this
case ever be allowed and thereby save to
the taxpayers Of the county at least SITS,

Taxpayers Of Shawnee County Are Bled by
Republican Officials.

BlOn OF 6n0 taxpayers W low Vi buS
abuses perpetrsted in the name Of jus.
tice in this city. The hRbesa corpus
proceedings before Judge Hazen on the
2lst inst. in the district court devel-
oped state OF facts which interests
every taxpayer in Shawnee county.
It appears that some time last spring
a freight car on the Rock Island yards
in this city was robbed OF some dry
goods, clothing, etc. Some Of the thieves
were caught red-hsnded and with the
swag and held to answer. In some UNI
explained manner one 7. s. Bozemsnn
was induced to go before A. F. Chesney,
q justice Of the peace, and make q COM
plant charging one K. Y. BlRckie with
completely in the crime, and it also Rp-
pears from tho original complaint on file
with the justice that he would only
make such q complaint ION information
and belief" and Notwithstanding that
the supreme court Of Kansas in the
State vs. Gleason, 80 Kas., had declared
that such complaint was q nullity, yet
the said justice issued q warrant Of ar
rest for said BlRckie on the 1lth day Of
May, 1894, and delivered the same to d.
N. Burdgs, the sheriff Of Shawnee
county, for service.
Now, the said Blackie was supposed
TO be in the state Of Colorado at that
time, and it was necessary to procure
requisition upon the governor of Colo
RADIO in order to bring him to this state.
To accomplish this, certified copy OF
the original complaint was procured
from the justice Of the peace and at
tached to the usual application to Gov
ernor Lewelling for a requisition upon
the governor Of Colorado, and the sppli'
cation was signed by one Urmey as
deputy county attorney.
The complaint not being sufficient as
originally sworn to and filed, the war
rant issued was void, and no requisitiOn
could be granted upon it, but it appears
that someone was equal to the occasion,
and before the papers were presented to
the governor the words ION information
and belief" were neatly erased from the
certified copy, and the governor was de-
ceiVed and led into issuing a requisition
upon q void warrant, and upon such
requisition thus obtained by fraud and
fraudulent mutiIiRtion Of the certified
copy of the original complaint, the gov
ernor Of Colorado issued his warrant Of
arrest, and Blackis was arrested and
taken in custody by the said Burdge on
the 10th day OF May, 1894.
He was brought before his honor, A.
F. ChAsney, on May 10, and committed
to the county jail until May "a, the de-
lay being at the request Of the state to
enable it to procure witnesses to testify
against the prisoner and possibly also to
allow him TO board at the expense OF the
Taxpayers of Shawnee county. On the
24th he was again brought before the
court and although he was ready and
demanded hearing, the state again re-
quested more time and he was recon-
mitted against his protest until June 4,
and another board bill commenced to
run against the county. June 4 the
same farce was re-enacted and against
the demand Of the accused for q speedy
hearing he was compelled to paEtake Of

sion face to face with new phase OF the

cupied their attention and that of nu-
msrous Spring-street business men for

It will be remembered that the com.

license for No. LAG North Spring street.
and that the business men secured its
wac OF undesirable reputation, but that
another saloon on the street would be
detrimental to its best interests.

facts Of the case.
Hs represented that he had been en-
ployed at the Eintract saloon for six and
one-half years and only gave up his
place to engage In business on his own
account, aud he is now without BUSH

What They Would Do to Get Even
With the Hated Germans.
From the Court Journal
Some amusing particulars Of the inven-
lions that have been offered to the French
war office since 1871 have recently been
published In a French newspaper. the ma
jority Of which are about equal to the
Laputan scheme for ploughing fields. name
ly, by sowing acorns in rows and then
turning In pigs to root them up. One
genius sought a patent for the training of
squadrons Of horsef1ies. These auxiliaries
were to be fed exclusively on blood served
up beneath the delicate epidermis Of me-
chanical figures clothed in the uniforms OF
members Of the triple alliance, 30 that when
political relations in Europe were strained
juice Of certain poisonous plants, and on
actual declaration Of war turned out in the
path Of the enemy.
Another ingenious person proposed a
scheme for educating war dogs. In times Of
peace he would learn French dogs to bite
lay figures wearing Prussian helmets, in
order that on the outbreak Of war the ken
nelS Of the whole country might be mob
ilized and let loose on the enemy. Then
there are numerous proposals for bridging
rivers by means Of ropes attached to can
non balls, and a photographer suggests q
novel kind Of captive shell, which, breaking
over the fortified position Of an enemy.
would disclose a small camera attached to q
parachute. The enemy's Notifications would
be instantaneously photographed and the
apparatus hauled back by the string, and
the negatives developed at leisure.
Two IDEAS are very inhuman. One Is q
scheme for sending large quantities Of
poisoned needles, as II In charity, to the
enemy's generals. who would, Of course.
distribute them to their forces. and so
poison the unfortunate users, and the other
to charge explosive bullets with pepper.
Two objects are pursued by the inventor Of
the pepper; its discharge would blind the
enemy, and the great demand for the con-
diment In time of war would stimulate the
trade of the French colonies and increase
the revenue Of the country. There are also
many other equally absurd propositions,
such as suggestions for making soup by ma
chinery, growing potatoes on barrack roofs
in December, and killing whole army corps
Of Prussians by post-but they are far too
numerous to be mentioned.
