JOE REED. AND BURTON.
it Is Said They Arc Fixing Up Deal in
Kansas.

1t Is Said They Arc Fixing Up a Deal in
Kansas.
A deal is being made which will tack
the Reed presidential boom in Kansas 10
the end OF the Burton canvas for United
States senator.
Judge Joe Reed, of Topeka, who is
cousin of the Maine statesman, has been
corresponding with his cousin recently.
Judge Reed has repeatedly said that the
Mckinley forces viii be routed when the
time comes. He has not told how it
would be done and his only reply to
questions has been: await and see"
Judge Reed is one of these open men
who Cannot stand being mysterious. and
he chafed under the restraint that nee
essarily came with his knowledge of
things, and occasionally he would Tell
friend something. Then these men put
what they knew together and now the
story is out
The scheme is to make Reed the tail
of the Burton kite in Kansas, and the
thing is being fixed up right now in Kan
sas City where Judge Reed and Burton
and few other trusted friends are hold :
ing a conference.
Every one in Kansas realizes that Bur-
ton is one of the most effective cam
paigners in the state and he can be of
service to Reed and no doubt Reed oan
% OF service to him. If the deal is made
as contemplated the followers of Burton
VIII be expected to flock to the support
Of Reed aud vice versa
Last Saturday Judge Reed went to
Kansas City. BY a strange coincidence
burton was on the same train. When
tney got to Kansas City there was a hur-
RED conference and Judge Reed return
ed home while Burton went to southern
Kansas
Sunday evening Judge Reed received
Q telegram which called him back to
Kansas City, and ]. Ralph Burton again
happened to be there. Whatever IS
done and whatever arrangements are
MADE VIII be contaminated today. and
then the men will separate and Judge
Reed will return to Topeka and sCousin
Tom" Will be informed of what has taken
place.
E. E. Chesney, Judge Reeds law part
ner, admitted today that Judge Reeds
visit to Kansas City had some political
Significance, but did not say what it was.

The Turn Verein Society Win We'll
come the Barnaby Piano.

The Turner's are to have a great time
next Thursdsy evening in their fine hall
on Niagara street. They will celebrate
the winning Of the piano which the j. r..
Barnaby Company put up to the most
popular organization in Rhode Island.
President Longley and others of the
staff of the Barnaby Company are invited
guests of the occasion as are also mem bers
of TIE NEWS staff and the reception
promises TO be most enjoyable affair.
Messrs. III. 7. and j. N. Moiter have
been the recipients Of many congra:ula-
tions, since the competition closed, for
the liberal support they gave TO the society
of which they are distinguished members.
Much of the victory won is due to the
efforts Of these gentlemen who have ever
worked assiduously TO make the Turner
Society the peer Of any social organization
In town.
A prominent yachtsman, and ex-com-
modore OF the r. I. Y. c., who was greatly
interested in pushing the contest, on be-
half OF the Yacht Club, remarked today
that the yachtsmen offered their
hearty congratulations TO the Turn
Verein on the victory they had so
splendidly won after the liveliest contest
OF the sort in the history of the State.
The yacht club was less than 1000 votes
behind the Turner's at the finish and they
have the satisfaction of making an
amazingly fine fight and winning their
share OF the glory. With both the
Turner's and the Yacht Club the contest
was more a matter OF glory than piano
and no one congratulates the Turner's
more than do the yachtsmen on their
fine success.
Tomorrow evening there will be chill
dren's entertainment at Turner Hall.

The Verdict Of the Jury in the

BUFFALO, N. ", March 21.--A jury has
found the Robinsons guilty OF lesser
crime than murder.
so intense was the interest in the out
come of the murder trial of the Robinsons
that the city hall corridors were black
with crowding, surging humanity long
before the hour Of opening OF the
court. Sheriffs deputies with slaves
struggled with the throngs to keep them
from bursting in itbe court room doors.
1t was with difficulty that passage was
cleared for the entrance of the hand
cuffed prisoners and the judge.
When the jury were in their places the
straining of attention to hear their ver-
dict made the court room as silent as a
tomb. The jury was asked: "Gentlemen,
have you agreed upon a verdictY"
The venerable foreman replied; "We
have" "How do you fndg" "Clarence
Robinson guilty OF murder in the second
degree; Sadie Robinson guilty OF man
slaughter"
surprise and Immediately a murmur OF
incredulity ran around the room. But
the jury was polled to prove that ears had
heard correctly.
Outside the court room the news OF the
verdict spread like a wave of sound and
everywhere ordinations of surprise
greeted the tidings.
Clarence Robinson has been sentenced ia
life imprison ment and Sadie for twenty
years.

night. The cash drawer was opened and
q small amount OF money taken. The

that the break was not unexpected ana
that he was and had always been prepared
for one, for the building was an old one and
the rear IL hidden from view by the sur
rounding buildings. Mr.. Thornton and
the police are OF the opinion that the work
was done by boys.
