The FaurOt Case.

The case of the State of Kansas vs..
J. P. FaurOt was tried at ArgOnia on
Monday before Justice Wilkes E.
Bozman, who reserved his decision
and notified the attorneys in the case
by mail last evening that he held
the defendant for trial in district
court. Mr.. FaurOt declined to give
bond and his attorneys notified the
county attorney that he would have
to cause commitment to issue. The
object in this course is to lay the
proper foundation for suing out a writ
OF habeas corpus to test the constitu-
tionality of the. law, the suficiency of
the complaint as well as the sufficiency
Of the affidavit.

tied the normal last week.
Farmers are stopping their plows
on account OF the dry weather.
At the annual school meeting of
London, G. W. Wrinkle was elected
director; at Peck, Bill Roll was
elected.
The thermometer has been ranging
near the 100 mark in the shade for
several days, making blue the farmer
whose hopes for a famous corn crop
were so high ten days ago. An ocean
Of rain cannJt redeem much OF the
corn.
Mrs. Hays of the Indian nation,
who has been visiting in the vicinity
Of Council Hill and Peck, returns to
her home today.
The song Ot the thresher is heard
in the land once more, but the crop is
not to compare with the great crop Of
a few short years ago.
Elder ]. E. Cain preached at Peck
Saturday night and Sunday to a large
and attentive audience. This was
Rlder Gains regular monthly visit.
Mrs. G. W. Cain Of Peck, who has
been in the eastern part Of the state
TO see her daughter, returned home
Sunday. Mrs. Cain made this trip
overland in a cart.
Frank Piatt Of Council Till, who
was accidentally shot on Monday,

Mr.. Horr said he proposed to present
Mr.. Harvey with two coins Of two
different metals because he was a BIZ
metallist. Mr.. Horr then handed over
two Chinese coins, one Of silver worth
20 cents, and one of copper worth one
mill and proceeded to say that the ma
tiOn which struck these coins had a
silver standard. Its laborers were
paid 81 per month; the people did not
ride in carriages, its civilization had
gJne to sleep. The silver coin pre-
sented him by Mr.. Harvey was struck
by progressive nation. 1t did very
well then, but the growth of civiliza-
tiOn and commerce had since demand
ed change in the standard-that
standard should be of gold.
Mr.. Horr closed by thanking Mr..
Harvey for the uniformly courteous
treatment which he had received
from his opponent during the discus
sion.
Mr.. Harvey rising for his closing
address said he accepted the present
from Mr.. Horn Of the Chinese coins.
He objected, however, to the refer
ences Of Mr.. HOrr to the silver coins.
The Uuited States was the chief pro-
ducer of silver until 1873. 1t was the
most sacred metal Of eur coinage: it
was the measure Of all values. In
1873 it was struck down as Caesar was
by the dagger OF an assassin. The
gold standard men had set up a stand
ard founded on crime as a standard
for the morals of the nation. The
metal as the coin given him by Mr.
Horr symbolized purity, virtue and
honesty.
Taking up the closing argument Mr..
Harvey said he wanted to encourage
the despOr dent; to say to the man
who contemplated suicide in his
hopeleSsness to fOrego the deed. Re-
lief was at hand and prosperity would
again come to him and the nation.
He declared that with the growth Of
the money power csme increase of sal
aries and corruption. 1t was the
same mall of the opulent nations. In
1873, 1900 bushels of wheat would
have paid the salary Of the president.
$4,000; today it would take $4,000
bushels 'of wheat to pay President
Cleveland's salary of $4,000.
Mr.. Harvey then proceeded to de.
nounce the presidents foreign and
financial policy and declared that the
friends of silver were fighting the bat.
tie of the people the world over. On
their success depended the liberties
of the masses. Oppression had driven
the liberty loving into their last
stronghold. There was nothing be.
yOnd except the islands Of the Pacific.
He declared that second declara.
tien of independence was needed to
recount the story of the signing Of
the declaration Of independence In
Philadelphia and the ringing of the
bell by the old Waterman with much
dramatic effect.
The answering Of questions was the
final act in the controversy.
1t should be said that the attend
ance at the sessions Of the discussion
was by card only and limited to the
capacity Of the hall which was ab~ut
200. This space was generally fully
occupied.

gued corresponding ability OF the

The extraordinary increase in farm

would point to the fnct that the farmers

did not need them, rather than because
they we're not able to buy them. II
shows, moreover, that there less debt,
more income and that they are better

Another indication, said the Auditor,
OF the improved condition Of the peo-
