The prominent Populists of the State
have been invited by the Populist
State Central Committee of Missouri

tropolis Hotel in Kansas City on the

enthal is addressed as the greatest
Populist leader in the West" Pri-
vate Secretary Close, speaking of the
matter, says: cit is simply a Popu-
list love feast and participated in by
prominent men of the party of both
Missouri and Kansas. We shall

we did in Kansas and advise them
what course to pursue in their cam
paign for the next year. | presume

to some extent, although the meet
ing is to help out the Missouri Cen.
trail Committee in their campaign

into the busy street. "This fellow
may be very clever" l said to myself,
"but he is certainly very conceited."
"'There are no crimes and no GRIM

brains in our profession? know well

famous. No man lives or has ever
lived who has brought the same
amount of study and of natural talent
to the detection of crime which have
done. And what is the result? There
is no crime to detect, or, at most, some
bungling villainy with a motive SO
transparent that even a Scotland Yard
official can see through it."
I was still annoyed at his bumptious
style of conversation. I thought it
best to change the topic.

numerous gouts and splashes of blood

"Then, of course, this blood belongs
