humed and Taken AWAY.
LAWRENCE, Jan. 1.-The sexton of
Oak Hill cemetery discovered that the
body of Carrie Carter, a colored woman,
had been exhumed from the grave in
which it was placed a week ago last
Sunday
The woman carried a life insurance,
and from the circumstances of her death
the insurance company would not allow
the body to be buried until after a post
norton had been held.
Two theories are advanced as probable
causes for the theft One is that the
body has been secured in the interest of
the insurance people; the other that the
stolen body was wanted by medical stu
deats in Kansas City who were acquaint-
ed with the case

EMPoRIA, Jan. 1.-The people OF Allen
and vicinity are working hard to secure
the formation of a new county out OF
part of Lyon and Wabaunsee counties.
The plan which has been proposed is to
take a strip about twelve miles wide and
twenty miles long from the north end OF
Lyon and eight miles wide and twenty
miles long from the south of Wabaun-
see. making a territory about twenty
miles square, which shall be named
Wiser county, after ]. P. Wiser, the
owner of the Wiser ranches, six miles
north of Allen. The town of Allen is
in nearly the center of the proposed
county.
The Allen Herald is vigorous cham
pion of the proposition and brings for
ward ''clinching arguments" The Allen
town company offers to erect and pre-
sent suitable buildings for county pur
poses without cost to the taxpayers.
The Herald says more than 1000
names have been attached to the petition
ard meetings are being held through
the section involved favoring the new
county, with speakers who show that it
would be to the advantage of the people.
1t is understood that representative
Moss will favor the measure. Allen, Adj
mire and Bushong will be in Wiser
county with chances for the county seat
in favor of Allen.
The proposition will be opposed by the
remainder of Lyon and Wabuunsee

THE TARIFF TO BE RESUR-
RECTED.

After making a campaign of a few
months duration the goldbugs have
decided that the financial question is
not the issue. The tariff will be resur-
rected and a desperate effort will be
made TO make the old corpse do duty
to fool the people. After the discussion
on the financial question got fairly
started, they discovered that they did
not dispel the silver illusions and COR
rect the false notions of finance as
readily as they first supposed they
would. However the discussion Of the
financial question has not stopped, nor
is there any prospect of a cessation un-
til the reforms demanded are secured.
Cleveland can blow his tariff horn un-
til he bursts. but the discussion on the
financial question will continue

HIS CONDUCT TO BE IN
VESTIGATED.

Havana March lS.-The commander Of the
Spanish cruiser Condo de Venadito reports that.
on March s. while cruising off the eastern coast
OF Cuba he sighted a steamer heading for Cape
Maysi. The steamers course was to the north
east. The cruiser hoisted a flag, and the
steamer replied by raising an English flag. The
cruiser slgnalled for the steamer to stop, but
without effect. AS the steamer proceeded at
full speed, the cruiser first fired two blank shots
and then two solid shots.
The commander says hat he did not desire
to hit the steamer. but merely to cause her to
heavc to. He asserts that the steamer was only
one and half miles off the Cuba.n coast when
the firing occurred. The authorities here have
ordered that a full inquiry be made INTO the
commanders acts Judging from captain
Crossman's story. nobody can doubt that the
steamer i'm question was the Allianca which
WAS fired on 10y Spanish cruiser on March y.
