The main obstacle the populists foun(
in naming a ticket wGs that few men were

made for ali the offices, but the nominees
in many cases declined with thanks.
Several speeches We're made which EN-
braced the usual ttacks upon democracy
and republicanism.- There was not a gen.
eral %outpouring of the masses, and ther'
were not many in the number who wer,

Law Governing Elections In Kansas Re-
gardIng the Marking of Ballots.

garding the Marking of Ballots.
TOPEKA. Kan, Oct 6.-B. NJ. Wal
lace, of Topeka, has informed Attor
ney-General Little that an attempt will
be made to ascertain how citizens OF
Shawnee county cast their votes at the
coming election, anC asks If 1T would
be lawful for any judge or other person
to place marks upon the ballots with a
view of securing the desired informa-
ton.
Replying, the encouragement says
that one of the purposes of the new
Australian ballot law is to prevent any
person knowing for whom the voter
casts his vote. One of the judges desig-
mated by the election board shall give
the voter one ballot, on the back
of which the Judge shall indorse
his initials. This is the only indorse-
ment which any judge has right
to make upon the back of the ballot
The booth in which the voter pre-
pares his ballot has been desig-
mated for the express purpose of having
the vote secret. so that no person can
determine for whom the voter cast his
ballot, and if any person or judge
should inGorse upon any ballot any
letter, figure, word or number by which
he can determine for whom the vote is
cast, he lays himself liable to the PEN
atty which is prescribed in section g
of said act, which reads as follows:
Any person who shall. except as herein other
wise provided mark or fold his ballot so as tn
distinguish. or allow his ballo, to be seen By
any person with an apparent intention of let
ting it be known how he is about TO vote. or
who shall make a false statement as to his in
ability to mark his ballot, or any person who
shall interfere or attempt to interfere with
any OF the voters when inside said inclosed
space, or when marking his ballot. or any bsti-
lot. any character for the purpose OF Identify
ing said ballot, shall be punished by a fine OF
not less than 80 nor more than 800, or b. fine
and impriso nment for not less than ten days
nor exceeding thirty days, or by both fine and
Imprisonment.

it did not take long for the iumor to
form and fly that it was working
mans regiment, and would not take
the side of the employers.
When it had reached the little
square where the bank stood it was
drawn up. A slzirmish line was
thrown out, pickets stationed and the
crowd forced back.
The colonel and his staff then went
into the bank. The disposition of the
men in the street was such that access
to the bank was impossible, and as the
doorway was on a level with the street
it was impossible for the crowd to see
what was going on, save that there
was constant fiuctuation in the
ranks of the men.
The regiment stood there quite two
hours and a half. In the meantime
there was great commotion at the
company's works. The sheriff set off
in a carriage with Mr.. Matlock, fol-
lowed by half a score of deputies to
reach the bank, but were stopped by
the pickets. The officer protested and
threatened. but in vain. When asked
if the governor had sent them, the
soldiers replied: You must talk to
the colonel, but you cannot pass the
lines at present"
eff the colonel desires to protect the
bank. he will confer with me-" said
Mr. Matlock.
81 don't know what his orders are"
said the soldier. Better wait till he
calls on you at the works."
The sheriff, in high dudgeon, then
rushed to the telegraph Office. 1t is an
hour before he gets an answer from
the governor at Lexington and it is:
Have not authorized use of troops
must be mistake about regiment. What
do you mean?"
Then followed several of the absurd
est of dispatches.
''No mistake" says the sheriff. "Reg-
iment, one thousand strong, armed
with repeating rifles"
Impossible" says the governor.
Your fears or your condition has
made you wild. There is not such a
regimental formation in the state. If
you cannot preserve the peace will
send the Louisville Lightguards-
ninety-four men. The law must be
upheld"
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1894-10-12

Then it was that the director dis
covered that all the specie had been re-
moved from the bank. A great crowd
had gathered round the entrance. He
got upon a chair and in an excited
manner conveyed the information. 1t
was received with incredulous jeers,
cries of "Served you right. We don't
believe it. You brought the soldiers,
etc." and the widest excitement
ensued.
The sheriff was paralyzed and lost
his head. He sent kilograms to Louis
vile and Cairo calling on the author
tiles to arrest all soldiers in blue shirts
and duck trousers armed with Spencer
rifles. He arrested the agents at the
Paducah railroad and held them for
collision. Armed parties were sent
out on the highways and discovered
nothing but struggling men drawn to
the town by the news.
Every other subject was now
swallowed up in the robbery of the
bank, and upon the arrival of the gov
ernor and his adjutant in the after
noon, there ensued scene of in
credulous indignation and fussy Of
ficialism. The adjutant, an old-time
veteran with purely Kentucky pref
udices and Kentucky dignity, immedi-
ately framed a theory that there had
been a raid from southern Indiana,
and was for calling upon the governor
of that state to make good the loss and
to return the raiders for punishment.
In Louisville, Cairo and Cincinnati,
the most extraordinary accounts were
published in the papers. One of the
sheets announced in its head lines:
''The English syndicate at st. Mary's
makes away with million and half
of money belonging to the working
men,
A paper in Louisville announced that
Kentucky had been invaded by an army
of Indiana free-booters, and its head
lines were startling. "Are we to have
another civil WARP they asked.
''Shall an invading army desolate
Kentucky while our apathetic officials
are dicl1ering with the bloated barons?
Let there be call to arms"
One fact alone was clear to the
people of st. Mary's. The money and
the regiment had disappeared together.
That the astonishing circumstance

CHAPTER XIV.

1t is necessary now to keep in mind
two orders of events. One is the slow
focusing of public suspicion about the
operations at Laran. The other is the
extraordinary relationship of the prin-
cipal personages at the headquarters
of the conspiracy.
A week passes and men are strag-
CLING back to the Laran from all over
the country. They come in through
the woods at night singly or in little
groups. They arrive at the Wash
bayou, coming down from st. Louis
and crossing at night from the Ar
kansas shore; they come up from
Memphis looking for work and some
of them ride In from the mountains of
East Tennessee.
Hendricks watches the reassembling
with cool calculation and appears to
have been satisfied of the main re-
suits. About fifteen per cent. of the
men never reappeared. This was &C
cording to his calculations. But the
rest, actuated by the fear of individual
peril, the esprit de corps of military
organization, or the desire to go on
with the war which a master-spirit
had planned, had, in great part, re-
turned at the end of the week. AT that
time there were by count five hundred
and fifty men of the regiment back in
the cave.
Hendricks sat up all one night read
ing the papers that had been brought
him from Memphis. He went over all
the accounts carefully. There was not
in any of them surnise as to the
truth. The regiment had got away
and it had accomplished its purpose,
but the further away from the scene
the comments were, the less seriously
the newspapers regarded the occur
renee. In New York there was some
kind of enormous western practical
joke suspected. How" said one jour
nal, "a regiment of thousand men
can come and go without observation,
can dismantle bank and then depart
with million dollars in specie without
being detected or interfered with or
tracked, remains for the imaginative
west to explain. 1t looks very much
at this distance as if the English
company had been operating in phan-
toms to bear its own market"
: An angry official correspondence had
taken place between the governor of
Tennessee and the governor of Indiana.
The town of st. Mary's and the city OF
Paducah swarmed with newspaper
men and detectives. But it was plain
to Hendricks that fresh troubles at st.
Mary's between the director and the
men threatened to draw attention
from the search for the soldiers.

railway. It is not at all inaccessible
from st. Mary's. 1t is simply uninvit-
ing. About mile out there is an old
house standing half hidden in the gum
trees and brush near the one road. 1t
was built ten years before by man
who manufactured potash and tannin
from the oak stumps and is said to
have done quite business there in
drudging way. About six weeks be-
fore the troubles broke out at st.
Mary's the place was hired from an old
negro into whose possession it had
fallen by n man who gave out that he
was going to fit it up for the manufac-
ture of emery paper, a great deal of
which was used at st. Mary's and ma
terial for which had been found in a
crude state somewhere in the neigh
borhood He had been receiving his
stock of machinery and implements
over the Paducah road.
On the morning to which reference
has been made. st. Mary's was in
very demoralized condition. The news
had gone out over the country and
hundreds of strangers had poured in
across the Ohio and from Louisville
and Cairo. It was expected by every
body that collision would take place
between the worhmen and the colony
which the English company had
planted on the bank of the river. The
sheriff of the county had arrived, but
the governor had declined TO interfere
at the present state of affairs
Such was the condition OF matters
when at nine o'clock, to the astonish-
ment of everybody, regiment of in
fautry, one thousand strong, in full
marching order and armed with maya
zine guns, made its appearance at the
edge of the town on the Paducah rail-
road, and came down the main street
as far as the bank in fine order, pre-
ceded by drum corps of four pieces.
The establishment and excitement at
this sudden invasion were increased ten
fold by the banner which spread out to
the morning breeze, and which had
inscribed on it legibly: First Battal-
ion American Workingmen- No Tyr
amy of Money. No Coercion of Capt.
itaL'

did not at the time betray to the coun-
try some of the real facts was owing
to the muddle which the incompetent
Mr.. Matlock and the pig-headed sheriff
and governor had produced in the
minds of the people. There was a
widespread suspicion among the work
ingmen that the superintendent was in
some way implicated in the removal
of the gold, and nothing could eradi-
cate from the governors head the no
ton that the regiment was an exag-
Grated ruse which had been brought
about by descent of invading villains
from southern Indiana.
Hendricks had counted on this very
result. His motto was: "Audacity
that bewilders-and then, energy that
