GRAFFAM'S SHOES.
The Unexplained Possession Of 4
Wallet and Silver Watch.

PORTLAND, Maine, Dec. 22.-The hears
ing in the case of James Lewis, charged
with the murder of Byron Coburn, at
Gorham, lasted only half an hour this
forenoon bat some sensational testimony
was disclosed.
Deputy Sheriff Baker testified that on
the morning after the murder he found
foot prints leading from the barn where
the murder was committed into the
woods.
The tracks nearest the barn were made
by man who was running; those near
the woods by person walking.
Edward Graffam's shoes, it is claimed,
fitted these tracks. Deputy Sheriff Chut
testified that he found bloody handkcr-
chief in Graffam's pocket.
GRAHAM says the blood stains were made
by a cut on the lip.
Sheriff Chut stated that he also found
on Graffam's person a wallet containing
bills and a silver watch which Is IL alleged
GRAHAM cannot account for.
The State at this point asked to have
the case continued until this afternoon
to procure witnesses.

Particulars Of the Death Of
Stevenson.
Famous Author Buried Where He
Wanted TO Be in Traa-SooaIa.

SAMOA, Dec. 4.-Correspondence OF The
Associated Press, per steamer Arawa, via
San Francisco, Dec. %:
Robert Louis Stevenson, the eminent
novelist, died at his home, Vaillma, on
Monday, December 3, in a very sudden
manner. He had been busy at work until
4 o'clock writing what are said
to be some of his finest passages, and had
left his work for dinner. He went into
the kitchen with his wife to prepare some
particular dish for which he had fond
ness and while there complained OF pain
in the top OF his head.
He walked into the drawing room and
almost Immediately fell back unconscious
in q chair.
Medical advice was obtained but 1t was
useless as he never recovered conscious
ness and died at s o'clock.
The community was greatly affected
and much regret is felt. Socially, he was
highly esteemed. Before his death, when
in good health, he had expressed a wish
to be buried on the top of Vaca Noun
tain, in most romantic spot, 14OO feet
above sea level, known by the name of the
Traa-Sooala, (or pigeon catching place of
Sooala) and his interment took place
there yesterday in the presence OF inti-
mate friends Of the family,

A SHAM battle is in progress, and has been
for generation. The battle slogan is '"Tariff!
Tariff" and can be heard wherever are gather
ed men who think, with those who allow and
expect others to think for them. Mckinley
told the Kansas City people that the tariff was
the al-absorbing question confronting us, and
vigorously threshed over the old straw he and
his co-laborers have been hammering for time
immemorial- Hammered until the dust arising
blinds the people tits the sham battle annually
on the tapis to keep the people from digging
down to the bottom of the cause of the East
growing rapidly rich and the West as rapidly
growing poorer The people have been fooled
for generations, but the time is now here when
a majority can be noslonger fooled.
THE meager reports which the A. P. AS
papers give of the great upheaval in Georgia
show at what fearful rate the Peoples party
is dying there. If the same death rate continues
up to the 9th of November, Georgia will be

fonrth congress. Let the carnage continue.
The Pops can stand such death rate indef-
nitely.
FRANK A. WILLARD, our candidate for con-
gresham from the Second district, is having

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-10-12

THE National Tribune is deeply interested i'll
interest in Dick Blue, and is pathetically ap-
pealing to the old boys to vote for Comrade
Dick. Evidently, McElroy does not know
Blue as do the depositors of the Mound City
band of wh;N''-Blue was director. He don't
know him as do the men whom he robbed of
between SS, 900 and 50, 900. AS director of the
bank, it was his business to see that the money
of ALL the depositors was safe-but does he do
it The records of the bank show, as do,
also, the records of the district court, that he
took out of the bank nearly $4,000 of the de-
positors' money, aud all they have to show for
it is Dick Blues worthless personal notes. The
Tribune appeals to the old soldiers to vote for
Dick for congressman -at-large. Some will
Some do not care what kind of man they cast
their ballots for, only SO he belongs to their
party. 1t is not that they particularly care for
an honest man, or, for that matter, whether he
is dishonest but they want partisan, regard
less of his character or antecedents and so,
they will vote for man to make laws for us
who has not scrupled to filch from the strong
box of the bank of which was one of the di-
rectors the money of the depositors, some Of
whom were old soldiers. The Tribune mistakes
the makeup of the old soldiers of Kansas if it
even remotely thinks or expects them to give
heed to the sickening eulogy on Dick Blue.
We repeat some WILL but those best acquainted
will not touch him with ten-foot pole. That
class of old soldiers want AN HONEST MAN IN
CONGRESS. They have become weary voting
for peculators. To vote for one which the
records prove cannot be trusted with other peo-
ple's money is too much for them. They pre-
fer an honest Confederate to dishonest wearer
of the blue.
