Everything has suffered since that
fatal day in Novem Der. 1892, but the Re
publican party. The principles of that
party are dearer to the American people
today than they have ever been before,
and can almost afford to
bear with the ills that have
been put US during these years be-
cause they have made the people see
that the material prosperity of this coun-
try is safer in the hands of the Republi-
can party than in the Democratic party.
This administration has made Demo-
Gratis and independent Republicans, weak

Through His Beard.
A Washington dispatch says that while
Senator PETER was in Oklahoma recently
making speeches, a cowboy sent bullet
through the senator's flowing beard.
The dispatch says: Senator PETER came
at the appointed time. was met at tho
station by an enthusiastic brass band,
and escorted to the scene of action.
Quite a crowd Of som breroed cowboys
and half breed Indians had assembled
to gaze for the first time upon
a real, live representative from tine
American house Of lords. Dit. PETER
passed a couple of hours very pleasantly
in expounding the doctrines Of Populism.
At the conclusion Of his remarks he did
jobbing business in handshaxiug and
exhortation. He passed among tho
crowd, grasping each one BY the hand.
sympathizing with the auditors upon the
scourge of grasshoppers, l0custs and cat-
erpillars that had followed Ropublican
misrule. and urged everybody to find rest
plentitude and prosperity in the Populist
fold.
And then the crisis came. There was
a sound like the sundering Of "a 6-inch
scantling and 4 chunk Of lead, projected
hurriedly from Colts revolver, plOwed
its way through Senator PETERS whisk-
ers. There was shower Of whisker5.
A few long. wavy hairs would become
disengaged at a time and float gently
down to earth. Then the senator would
frantically run his hand through his
beard and few more hairs would ho
disentangled and follow the example Of
their predecessors. The sight was one
that completely unnerved many .-oug
man. Those present will never forget
the tragic denouement
The senator has been seen at his home
here in Topeka and his whiskers show
no sign Of such catastrophe and tho
dispatch is evidently highly Imaginative

Mr. Br7stOw.
The Emporia Republican recently
published long editorial favOring g
Major Calvin Hood of EmpOria for United
States senator. and the editorial has
caused CONSERVATION among the mem
bers of the state central committee, from
the fact that the article quoted from a
circular said to have been issued by the
committee, as follows:
although IN no sense a politician,
Major Hoods election to the senate
would be creditable to the state and con
tribute materially IN restoring our credit
and good name among the people Of the
nation His wide acquaintance with the
solid business men of the east and west
would give him an influence in the SEN
ate that would be equal to that of Major
Morrill, in the governors chair"
Secretary Bristow said: II know moth
ing Of such a circular and nothing Of the
kind has emanated from this committee.
1t should be apparent to anyone that we
would not do thing Of that kind" The
other members of the committee who are
in the city say the same thing
The JOURNAL does not know to what
committee then the Republican refers.
but the statement itself is a remarkably
true and commendable one SO far
as it goes. Major Hood is
one of the best ~financiers and

Mrs Lowell is perhaps better known

Another sister is Mrs. Robert A1inturn,
leader in the fashionable society of this
city.
Mrs. Lowell said last night:
