Suicide Frank Rogers.

Suicide Frank Rogers.
Frank Rogers, the man who killed
himself Saturday by taking laudanum,
has been partially identified this after
noon. R. B. Gemmell, the superintendent
of the Santa Fee telegraph department,
thinks he is a man who worked in the
Santa Fe telegraph Office at Topeka in
1893 He gave his name then both as T.
D. Rogers and Frank G. Rogers. Mr..
Gemmell is not positive in his identi-
1cation.
The chief clerk of the same depart

is not the same man. The Rogers who
worked at the Santa Fe telegraph office

A OoIored PASTORS View.
r. P. TYPER, County {

A special from Topeka to the Kansas
City Star of the 18th says:
The Rev, G.. D. Olden, pastor of a
negro Baptist church, last night in a
sermon on 1.-THE negro in politics. cleo
trified his orthodox republican congre-
CATION with the declaration that "the
republican party made the greatest
mistake of it's life when it gave 60 the
negro the right to vote" He said the
negro was led as sheep to the slaughter
by the republican white man and that
he had been the tool of the white man.
The republicans had given to the negro
his vote in order to get CONTROL of the
south, and when they had feathered
their own nests they left four and a
half million negroes to the mercy of
their old masters. This was the cause
of the murders in the south, and the
republican party was as guilty in the
sight of God as the man who drew
blood.
Olden is recognized as the most
thoughtful and best informed man
among the colored clergyman of the
city. He has uttered a great many
ideas in advance of public opinion
since he came to Topeka, but last
nights denunciation of the republican
party was his first argument against the
theory of the infallibility of the repub.
iican party so commonly accepted
among the colored people.

The Power Inside a Piano.

The general notion of what happens
in the interior of the piano when the
finger presses key may be conveyed
in the simplest terms. Would you be-
lieve that the power developed when
the strings of your piano are tuned to
the proper pitch equals energy sufficient
to raise twelve tons one foot from the
ground? If it has ever been your mis-
fortune TO be present when the string
frame Of piano was fractured, the
above statement will require no con-
firmation. A thunder-bolt scarcely
makes greater uproar, an earthquake
causes little more destruction. The
writer happened to be playing on one
occasion, with what, in his conceit, he
imagined to be great effect. He felt he
was being admired by the men and
worshiped by the women, when as he
brought his fingers down for a mag
niicient finale, he Instantly found him
self on the floor with the piano stool Oh
his stomach While the piano itself pre-
sented wreck Of keys, lids, mechanism
and serpent ze wires. Struggling to
his feet, da2ed his suffering questions
as to what II the name Of all the gods
and demons had happened, were an
swered by fingers pointing to the ruins
of what had enee been a very fine par

Murder and Suicide at Hoisington,

John M. Herbs, a shoemaker, about
SO years old, killed his little daughter
aged about five years old, cut his wife's
throat in horrible manner, and then
cat his own throat, expiring in few
moments. This tragedy occurred a
little after p. m. Wednesday of last
week, after the DEMOCRAT was printed.
Herbs has been considered unsound
in mind for year or more, having
been examined for insanity last sum
mer, and then only turned loose under
guardianship. He was more particular
~ ugly when in drlnk-which was
pretty much all the time, nOtwithstand-
ing our beantiful( ?)and eff1cient(?)prO-
hibition liquor law. Deep regrets are
expressed on every hand over his sue
cessful taking of the life Of the limo
cent little one, and the mutilating of
the wife and mother; but it is thank
fully reported that Mrs. Herbs is in a
fair way to recovery.
The mailman did lis work with a
shoe knife, in his own home. The
little girls head was almost severed
from her body. Mrs. Herbs was cut
in the neck, the knife starting at the
back and going over half way around
the neck, but fortunately not severing
the jugular vain or the windpipe.
Herbs did good job on his own
throat, cutting clear through the wind
pipe and jugular at one swipe.
The little girl was buried on Friday
in the Dubuque cemetery. The MUIR
derer and suicide was carted to the
emony, and it is reported that the night
following his body was dug up and re-
moved-probably to some medical

SilYeY Case Dismissed.

AS the DEMOCRAT intimated at the
commencement of the suit against Led
rev Silvey, of Larned, chairman of the
7th Dist. democratic central committee
by one Kenton for damages because of
the alienation of the affections of his
Kenton's wife, the latest developments
prove that the whole business was a
plot of Silvey's enemies to blacken his
character. The case was recently dis
missed, the plaintiff, Kenton saving:
That he. the afiant, has decided to abandon
said suit, and makes the following statement for
doing:
That personally this afiant knows nothing as to
the truth or falsity OF the charges made in the petit
ton filed in said case and upon mature reflection
believes he may have done said Silvey great I'M US
tice.
That he induced to bring said suit by the
representatives of parties in Larned, Kansas, who
were and are personal enemies of said Silvey.
That said parties assured afiant that they could
furnish sufficient evidence to convict said Silvey of
the charges made in the petition flied in said cause
parties being enemies of said Silvey, animated
by desire to ruin and disgrace said Silvey, and
humilate his family and mislead aiant in furthur-
ance of such designs,
Not wanting to be party to any such transac-
tons. or to wrong said Siivey, or to disgrace him
WILLIAM T. KENYON.
The citizens of Larned, in a mass
meeting that packed the court house
last Saturday night. passed ringing
resolutions denouncing Mr.. Silvey's
enemies for their Matchmaking practi-
ces, and deploring the fact that the
prosecutions of the gentleman have
caused him to remove from the town.
The resolutions place the burden Of the
blame upon Tom Leftwich, of the
Eagle-Optic, who has been most per
sistent in stirring up the charges
against Silvey.
