The Vinette industrialists at the city

that the colored man who precipitated
the row the other day was not formally
admitted member of the regiment, but
was along according to the custom of the
army on ten days probation.
Vinette made a short speech to his
men at the park last evening and they
again marched to the jail and serenaded
their incarcerated brothers. After that
they marched to the meeting of the Pop

there back to camp.

said Vinette today. "We are having

feels to put our feet under table once

They will all be at the home guard

termination to die He fought against
taking antidotes and gave himself up to
the effects of the sixty grains of NOR
phine which he had swallowed.
MIR. Luhn had been hard drinker for
a great many years and had been in the
habit of taking morphine to produce
sleep. The habit had grown to be ter
rible disease, undermining his health
and taking away all desires of living.
He came to Kansas, locating in New
ton in 1891. He was the first merchant
to arrive at the new town, bringing
stock of dry goods and load of lumber
from Emporia, at that time the terminus
of the Santa Fee railroad. He built the

burned last year with an immense stock

Huntington in regard to the suits
brought against the Pacific receivers by

suits do not trouble him and adds: '.Of
course I would rather they had not been
putting out one dollar to stop them l
would not / will not discuss them L
saw the flaming headlines in the paper
the other day: Thirty years of crime
sit is the habit of the newspapers to
print sensational things without strict
reference to how much much truth
there is in it. But as to the suits / know
all about them and there is nothing in
them. For some time back half dozen
or more men have been writing to me
and telling me that unless / sent for
them they would tell the people num-
Der of things the people ought to know.
There is one man in St. Louis who is
particularly active in this line.
81 told them that if there were things
the American people ought to know by
all means to go ahead and tell them.
These people have gone to Mr.. Olney,
suppose, and that l take to be the origin
of the suits. From what / heard of
Olney l am sure he would not have COM
menced the suits unless he felt convinced
that it was his duty to do SO. / have no
close acquaintance with Mr.. Olney, but
from what a number of my friends tell
me, / believe him to be a man of ability
and just man.
