I'm the famous Lorelei Rock
~ which rises from the
glorious sold Rhine near St.
Goar, there sits, according to
the German legend, a beauti-
full siren combing her long
golden hair, holding aloft a
foaming beaker of beer and
singing a ravishing song
Boatmen are so entranced by
her voice that they draw near
and drink the beer, and be-
come so enchanted that they
refuse to return to the common
earth
This is the same with John
Kopp's famous N. P. Beer
that we will deliver bottled to
any part ofthe city.
1t is a beer that should be
drank by every woman who
wonders why she lacks strength
and has no heart in her every
day duties; by every man
who, during these warm days,
feels overcome by a feeling Of
las ,itude and wishes he had no
work to do; by every person
who has a care for that COM
plete piece Of machinery
which we call the human
body.
This N. P. Beer is put up in
full quarts and pints with all
the care and finish given to a
bottle Of champagne.

AT SEASIDE
Rancher Pete Matts(n Killed
By a Half-Breed Indian.
SHOT WITH A RIFLE.
The Bullet Was Intended for Ed

He Had Had Trouble.
RIFLE

Yesterday evening about s o'clock,
John Campo, a half-breed Indian and
Mexican, chot and killed Peter Mattson,
a rancher, in the Exchange saloon at
Seaside, ball from 44.75 Winchester
rifle striking him in the neck, killing
AS nearly as can be learned Campo
did not intend that Mattson should be
his victim, but either Ed. Alcaraz, clerk
in ]. II. Johansen's store, or Richard
Eberman, proprietor Of the Exchange
saloon.
II seems that Campo, who was intox-
icated yesterday picked a quarrel with
Alcaraz, and 1t is said threatened to
knife him.
knife him. He is known as o quarrel
some man when under the influence Of
liquor, and they kept out Of his way.
He insisted on fighting, but was finally
taken to q tent by the two men mem
toned, and his knife taken away from
him. 1t was thought then that he would
sleep off his drunk, but no sooner had
they left than Campo slipped out and
going to his room secured rifle and
returned to the Exchange saloon.
The door was partially open at the
time, number Of people being inside.
Campo reeled up to the walk in front
of the saloon, and pointing the gun
toward someone inside, fired, the bullet
passing through the casing and strik-
ing Matt5on, who was leaning up
against the bar, the ball going clear
through his neck and killing him in
stantly. Campo attempted to pump
another shell into the barrel, but 1T
caught, and before he had a chance
to loosen 1t, Constable Stanley had him
covered with gun and demanded him
to surrender. The half-breed was not
too drunk to understand the meaning
of the constable's warning demand, for
he instantly lowered his rifle and gave
himself In charge Of the officer and
was soon landed in the town Jail.
Inside the saloon all was confusion
when the sharp crack of the rifle sound
ed and poor Mattson fell, his lifeblood
making great stain on the uncar-
peted floor. He was Immediately pick
ed up and carried to a room in the rear
OF the building and physician sent
for but the latter act was unnecessary,
as he was dead the moment he struck
the floor.
The prisoner was brought to the city
this morning by Constable Stanley and
lodged in jail His hearing will take
place before Justice Abercrombie to-
morrow morning.
Mattson was at one time saloon
keeper in Upper Astoria, but for the
past few years, has lived with his fam
lily ON ranch near Seaside.
Campo, the half-breed, has lived
around Seaside for number of years,
in the employ Of Mrs. s. f. Clayton, on
her Elk Creek ranch. When sober he
was peaceable and quiet man, but
just the contrary when under the iniu-
ence Of liquor.
There are those who contend that
Campo did not tira at Mattson. but that
the gun was accidentally discharged,

"Son1e One
Has Bluhdered"

When a poor job of carpenters work
is done there's n whole series of
blunders behind the transaction. In
the first place its a bluEder to hire
poor workmen--this hurts the rep
utation of the contractor-loses
trade in the long run.
The blunder OF the man who
wishes to build house Is in giving
the contract to those who hire cheap
help; for a poorly built house is
soon a dead loss. Like all losses
in building, there's a way to avoid
1t. The way leads toward our office.

WILL THE EMP0RIA GAZETTE COR
REOT2

The Topeka Advocate which was once a
staunOh friend of prohibition has taken to
the woods since it was made official state
paper.-Emporis Gazette, Jsnuary4.
The Topeka ADVOCATE stands to-
day where it has always stood upon
the temperance question, and the Ga
zette knows it if it knows anything
about the matter. The ADVOCATE is
is favor of the enforcement of the
law as it is, while it remains upon
the statute books; but it is not an
advocate of prohibition as the correct
method of controlling the liquor
traffic. Never until the element of
profit IS totally eliminated from the
traffic will it be susceptible of con-
troll; and never until the traffic is ma
tionalized will the conduct of the
business for private gain be stopped.
Until this is done the evils that grow
out of it will continue. This is our
opinion, and we believe it is a correct
one. We believe, also, that until the
millions of our unemployed country
men are furnished with work that
will enable them TO buy food to save
their wives and helpless children
from starvation, we can find some
thing fully as profitable to talk ABOUT
in Kansas with the present law upon
our statute books as this everlasting
subject of prohibition. By the way,
since the Gazette has mentioned it,
where does the republican party and
it's press in Kansas stand upon this
question just now? What do yOW
propose to do with it?

to be demanded. These are ques-
tions that are rank poison to such
editors. They would sooner enter a
den of rattlers and undertake to be-
come snake tanners than to touch one
of them, even indirectly. They meet
every proposition for fair discussion
with the cry of socialist nonsense"
"paternalism," anarchy" and like
epithets, and have never yet at
tempted to answer an argument by
any other method. Verify, this diff
Guilty is q great relief to them.

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE FARM
BRg ALLIANCE,

The executive board of the Ma
tional Alliance has agreed upon the
city of Topeka as the place of meet
ing Of the national council February
6, 1894 It now becomes the duty of
every Kansas Alliance man and
woman to make this meeting a sue
cess, and to render the stay of dele
gates and visitors in our city as
pleasant as possible. Those espe-
cislly who were at Ocsls, and who
enjoyed the bounteous hospitality Of
our southern brethren, will be graft
fed by this opportunity to reclpro-
cate as far as it may be possible for
them to do SO. Tt is doubtful if any
other state in the union could do
what Florida did for delegates and
visitors to the national convention, of
December, 1890; but we can at least
take the delegates to our homes and
make them welcome to such as we
have during their stay in our city.
We hope to see unsnimity of action
upon this subject that Will insure q
cordial welcome and will cause every
visitor to carry to his or her homo
the most pleasant reCOllectiOns Of

Republican editors are banking
heavily on hoped for split IN the
Peoples party in consequence of the
difficulty of the governor and Mrs.
Lease. We would once more remind
these patriots that the Peoples party
is larger than any individual in it;
and no member of it, however con-
splcuous, is of sufficient consequence
to sldetrack the principles upon which
it is founded. Whether Governor
Lewelling and Mrs. Lease agree or
disagree, or in whatsoever manner
their differences may be disposed Of,
the principles of the Peoples party
will still claim and receive the same
attention as heretofore, and will con-
tinue to 90 forward to final triumph.
Speaking Of party differences, Of

gether in harmony. A personal diff
ference in the Peoples party is made
to appear of much greater msgni-
tude than IN the ranks of the elect.

THEY HAVE A PIONIO.

Republican and democratic news
paper editors are specially ambitious
of two things in these latter days.
The first is to divert the attention Of
readers from the living issues of the
day, and the second is to be sensa-
tionsl. Under ordinary circumstances
this sometimes becomes difficult to
accomplish. People will think and
they will talk, and If the papers do
not give them something sensational
to talk about they are almost sure to
become engaged in the discussion of
questions of public policy. This has
to be discouraged and counteracted,
and nothing is as successful for this
purpose as a fresh sensation. The
little difficulty between Governor
LswelliDg and Mrs. Lease is, there
fore, like q refreshing shower after a
long 6Houth. 1t makes something to
talk about, and the papers are giving
It far more space than is given to the

Mrs. LEASE says the state admins

ga mblers of Kansas City, Kansas.
This is a specific charge. Let us have
the proof of it. Empty charges have
no weight.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1894-01-10

tunlty to offer any defense against
the charge, that it was anarchy that
was on trial; and the charge Of muir
der was absolutely abandoned. They
were hung, then, for what they be-
lieved, and not for anything they had
done; and they were even denied the
poor privilege of introducing testi-
moDy to show what they believed and
taught. It suited the purposes of the
court better that the jury and the
people should remain in ignorance OF
these things, just as it suits the pur-
pose of republican editors to-day that
the people shall remain In ignorance
of the same things, in order that the
prejedice against anarchy may be
made to serve their partisan pul-
poses. It suits them to denounce
members of the Peoples party as
anarchists; and in order that this
charge may not be robbed Of ITS ter
rors, the minds of the people must
not be dlsabused of the horrors that
have attached to that terrible name.
Hence we repeat that no Republican
editor dGres to publish aUhGt the phil
OSopbicGI anarchist does believe and
teach. The men who excite revolts,
the men who throw bombs where
the lives of innocent people are
jeopardized, are not anarchists, al
though it pleases the press to so
designate them. It is, perhaps, un-
fortunate for the true teachings of
the philosophical anarchist that he
cannot be permitted to teach his doc
trines under another name, since,
through the Misrepresentation of the
press, the minds of the people have
not only become confused upon the
subject, but most unressonsbly preju-
diced, and that prejudice is continu-
ally cultivated for the same purpose
for which it was first created.
Now, having presented these
thoughts, we desire to close by re-
neWing the challenge to the Emporis
Republican, or to any other repubb-
can paper, to publish, from the lee
lures or writings Of those terrible
anarchists who were hung at Chi
cago, or from the others who were
psrdoned by Governor Altgeld, such
extracts as will fairly show the doc
trines they actually held and taught
THEY DARE NOT DO 1T. Such
publication in the daily papers of the
country would expose the infamy of
the whole diabolicsI plot consum-
mated in a so-cslled court of justice
and now justified by a hireling press.

ANARCHY,

llcan has holy horror Of anarchy. 1
haunts him by day and troubles hi
dreams by night; and yet if we art
to take his definition of anarchy Al
given in the issue Of the Republican
| of January A, he has not the remot
est conception of what anarchists be-
lleve and teach. He says:
An anarchist is one who e1cites revolt o.
promotes disorder in the state.
An anarchist is nothing of the
kind. There are men who excite
revolts and who promote disorder II
the state; and it has been the custom
of those who did not know any better
to call these men anarchists; but nc
one who has ever read anything upon
the subject of philosophical anarchy
ever made this mistake.
Did the editor of the Emporia Re.
publican ever read any of the lectures
or publications of the terrible snar
chists who were hung at Chicago
Does he know anything about th'
doctrines they believed and taught
We sincerely doubt it. Can he
or dare he publish in his paper sucE
extracts from their speeches and pub
locations as will show his readers
what they believed and taught? o.
course not. This would defeat the
very object he has in view. As lona
as he can keep the people in tots
ignorance Of the doctrines and the
teachings of those men, he can con
tlnue to justify their judicial murder
and make use Of the prejudice thst
has been created IN the minds of thu
people for partisan purposes.
Now, we deny that those men o.
their followers ever said or did any
thing to excite revolt or to promote
disorder in the state" and we chsl
lenge the editor of the Republican tt
the proof that they did. We chal
lenge him to quote from their writ
ings or speeches anything to justify
such a charge. Will he do it? Dar,
he quote trhat they did believe Gnc
teach! Certainly not. No republl
can paper dares to do it.
But it is said a bomb was thrown
at the Hsymsrket meeting, and sew
sral policemen we're killed. True
Who threw 1t? It was never known
to the public. It was not shown il
court who threw it. No pretens'
was ever made that 1t was shown WhC
threw it. The prosecution utterly
failed to show that the men on tria
had anything to do with it or knew
anything about it. They were charged
with the murder of those policemen
and their trial was begun upon tha
charge. Failing to find any evi
dence to connect them with tha
