ACQUITTED.

Robert S., Walter L. and James Skel.
ton, brothers,, were acquitted at Biz
mingham.j Ala, on Wednesday of the
murder of Robert c. Ross, banker, in
February, 1898.
The Skelton boys believed that Ross,
who was wealthy married man, had
betrayed their handsome sister Annie.
When Annie heard of the murder she
wrote q letter TO her brother Bob, eX-
culpatipg Ross, and blaming ]. c. Mus
grove, United States marshal, for her
condition. She subsequently, married
John D. Freeman, who had loved her
ever since she was little girl.
Annie Shelton left her home in
Scottsboro, Ala, to become music
teacher in Days Gap. There she met
and loved Musgroye. Musgrove. mar
ried another, however, and Annie
returned to her family, crestfallen and
soured. Her mode changed occasion
ally to recklessness, and at one of these
times she met Ross and fell in love with
| him.
Their intimacy was discovered
through letters from Ross found in
Annie's trunk by an aunt, who showed
them to Annie's brothers, who VOW
ed to kill Ross. The banker was warn
ed, however, and early the next morn
ing started to drive across country and
catch train at Stevenson which would
carry him out of harms way. Within
an hour the Skeletons knew of his
flight and were after him on horse
hack.
Ross, not knowing that he was pur-
sued. did not push his horse, and TIE
the brothers reached the Stevenson
station first, where they lay in ambush.
When Ross's brother heard of the pur-
suit he sent this telegram to Ross at
Stevenson s'Men on horseback, with
guns, following. Lookout" Judge j.
B. Talley, of the Ninth District Court,
saw it, and wired the operator at Stew
enson Don't let warned party get
away?" So the message to Ross was
not delivered.
AS he stepped upon the platform
three rifles rang out and Ross fell.
Staggering to his feet, badly hurt, he
pulled his revolver and looked about
for his assailants. He could see no one.
He leaned against the side of the build
ing and prepared to die game. The
Skeletons crept up behind the depot.
One of them made slight noise at the
corner and Ross turned his half blind
eyes feebly that way. Another brother
then came around the other corner and
shot him in the back of the head. Ros
fell, and as he lay quivering thrid
SHELTON walked up and shot him again.
Judge Talley was impeached and re-
moved from office for intercepting the
telegram to Ross.

II either Atchison, Leavenworth or

COLONEL ANTHoNY's assertion that he
has positive information that Governor
Morrill, promised immunity to liquor
dealers before election to obtain votes
will find ready Judgement in the minds
of many who can account for existing
conditions in no other way. There can
not be any great difference between pub
lie sentiment in Leavenworth and public
sentiment in Kansas City, Kansas, and
yet the saloons have been closed in the
latter city while they run wide open in
the former. The Kansas City Gazette
is authority for the statement that a
wholesale liquor house has been opened
in Leavenworth. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that this would be done without
some assurance Of freedom from moles-
tation. 1t was established before the
governors open declaration of the policy
which he will pursue.

A WRITER recently occupied three col

a futile effort to answer "Coin's Finan-

about cheap money. Money cannot have
price. It is price itself. Now don't
somebody refer to the difference in the
purchasing power of gold dollar and
paper dollar during the war, to disprove
this proposition. The paper dollar was
not money; it was only representative
of money, a promise to pay money. That
is what silver is today. Then there was
some uncertainty regarding the govern
ment's ability to redeem; now there is
none, so every dollar is 'as good as ev
cry other dollar"

THE testimony in the Rogers investi-
CATION certainly gives strong evidence
thus far that Mr.. Leland will prove his
charges of drunkenness and profanity.
The ridiculous part of the whole
thing, however, lies in the thought
that Chairman Leland should make
such furore over this case
in the alleged interests of the state. when
he knows of so many instances of similar.
and worse, offenses on the part of Re-
publicans holding higher offices than
that of regent of the university. Mr..
Leland's main object is undoubtedly re-
venge, and he seems to be accomplishing
that object II Mr.. Leland should tri-
umph, SO far as to secure conviction
and the removal of Mr. Rogers, what
splendid precedent it opens to relieve the
state of some Republicans now in office
by grace of Governor MorrilPs appoint
ment or the fortune of election.

ASK FOR THE
ALTGELD Is BITTER.
He Severely Criticises the Supreme Courts
Income Tax Decision.

He Severely Criticises the Supreme Courts
Income Tax Decision.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April. 18.-Gover-
nor Altgeld does not approve of the de-
cision of the United States supre me
court regarding the income tax BILL
In an interview last night he said the
decision was biased in the interest of the
goldbugs aud Wall street millionaires.
He referred to the holding OF the law TO
be void so far as it affects large real
estate owners and the rich bondhoIders
of the east, and says this particular de-
cision recognizes the divinity of wealth
by exempting it from taxation, and
breathes a curse against enterprise by
making it bear all the burdens of the
government.
"But," says Altgeld, ait is in harmony
with that passage of scripture which
says unto him that hath shall be given,
and from him who hath not shall be
taken the little he hath and it is in per-
feet accord with the Republican and
mugwump theory of government now
being applied in this country. It shows
that the interests of the east are para
mount to the interests of the rest of the
country; also that at least two of the CO.
ordinate branches of our government re-
ceivo their inspiration at the same altar.
