JUDGE MORROW ANNOUNCES.

The KESrUcKrAN today announces
By authority new candidate for cir
cult Judge, whose entrance into the
race will materially change the lines
upon which the race would have been
run. Judge Thos. ]. Morrow, who has
been considerable probable candidate
for month or more, has concluded
to enter the contestant conforms the
public to-day. That he will prove to
be formidable candidate from every
standpoint will be at once conceded
by all who are familiar with his rec
ord and running qualities. For TWEEN
ty years he has been practicing law
yer and has had four and half years
of experience on the bench as county
Judge of Christian county. He was
elected to that position in 1890, turn
ing Republican majority of 1850 in
1888 into Democratic majority of
from 300 to 800 for the ticket he head
ed. His public record was all that
his friends hoped for. He made the
county model Judge, and retired
from the Office with the confidence
and esteem of all the people, prospect
i've of party. He was not candi-
date for reelection, but accepted
nomination for county attorney and
was defeated by only 290 votes in
year of Republican landslides, when
Democratic counties all over the state
were captured by the enemy. His
friends-and they are many conf
dentially claim that Judge Morrow is
by many votes the strongest Demo
Graf in Christian county and there is
not Republican in the county who
can carry it over him by more than
few hundred votes, if at all, although
the usual majority is from 800 to L.
200 Judge Morrow left for Lyon
county yesterday and will at once en-
ter upon an active canvass in that
county. He formerly represented
Lyon in the Legislature and is widely
acquainted and very popular in that
county.

The joint discussion between Con-
syressman r. G.. Horr, of New York,
and Prof. w. HI. Harvey, of Chicago,
author of "Coin's Financial School,
has been arranged. The point at is
sue will be the truth of the arguments
in Prof Harvey's book. The ''Little
Financier" has knocked out the king
bee of Chicago gold bugs, Prof.
Laughlin, and now the Wall street
crowd think they can down him. Mr.
All Gee Horn will wish he hadn't.

AS a matter of fact Mr.. Carl

AS matter of fact Mr.. Carlisle's
views on the currency question have
undergone change within the last
two years. 1t has been proven and
admitted by him that he was silver
advocate as late as July 1890, and
even after he went into the cabinet,
during the summer 1898, the papers
were filed with rumors of disagree
ments" between Cleveland and Car
Isle on the silver question and some
of them even discussed the probable
ity of his leaving the cabinet. 1t is
only since Mr.. Carlisle went into the
business of issuing bonds that he
has ceased to blow hot and begun to
blow cold.

Christian County now has two able,

Christian County now has two able,
competent and popular candidates
for circuit Judge. They are person
ally on the best of terms, and neither
represents any faction or division Of
the party. They are both candidates
in good faith for an Office worthy of
their ambition. Christian county
should furnish the nominee for judge
and it is to be hoped that Major
Phelps and Judge Morrow will enter
into some agreement by which they
can divide the county without a con-
test, and each hustle for outside
votes. Christian county can nomi-
nate either of them with three dele
gate votes from Trigg or Lyon, the
counties that have no candidates.

Your PHYSICAL Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and with.
out doubt there has been too much
over-work or strain on brain and
body. The course of treatment for
such condition is plain and simple.
The blood must first be purified SO
that the nervous system, and in fact
all the organs will be fed upon pure
blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best
blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength imparting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when hoods Sarsaparilla is persist
emily taken; in word, health and
happiness follow after taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

The LATE EROSTS-

Considerable Damage Done in the North
west-sOuthwest Kansas Slightly Hurt.
CHICAGO, May 10. - Reports from
many points in the northwest are to
the effect that considerable damage
was done to small fruits and vegeta bic
crops in many sections by Saturday
nights frost. Corn in some places has
been badly injured, but may yet be re-
planted. Other grains are said not to
have suffered much. Kansas escaped
the ravages of frost Saturday night,
except in the southern part of the state
and the lowlands generally along the
Arkansas, Walnut and Kansas rivers
and tributaries.
Yesterday, the Chicago Rock Island
& Pacific Railway Co. received reports
from more than hundred agents at
stations along its lines in central,
western and northwestern Kansas.
which show that Saturday nights frost
was severe on vegetables and garden
plants; that the fruit was not materi-
ally damaged. and that the wheat and
other small grain generally escaped,
and was not injured except in a few
localities

KILLED A CRIPPLE.
One Infirmary Inmate Murders
Another in Ohio.
Slashed His Helpless Victim
With a Butcher Knife.
HEAD NEARLY CUT OFF
The Murderer Pretended to be
Asleep When Sought.

FINDLAY, o., May ia horrible
murder occurred Saturday n light at the
county infrmarY, west of this city.
Abe Wise, semi-paraly zed inmate,
aged 40 years, was the victim, and John
6. Karg, another inmate, aged 76 years,
was the murderer. The two men quar-
relied over a trivial matter and Wise
threatened to kill Karg, striking him
over the head with a cane. Karg went
to his room and procured a butcher
knife. Returning he secured Wise's
cane and then made rush at him with
the knife. Wise was almost helpless.
He was paralyzed in one side, and
therefore at Karg's mercy. The knife
was as sharp as razor, and with
it Karg slashed Wise across the neck
and head. Wise attempted to get
down stairs, and as he was cropping
along the hallway in the dark Karg
made another dash at him. Drawing
the knife across the back of his neck
he nearly severed the head from the
body. With the blood streaming from
his wounds, Wise managed to get
down stairs, but he died soon after
ward. After Karg washed himself, he
went to his room and pretended to be
asleep when the superin tendent
knocked at his door. He was placed
under arrest. His clothing was found
saturated with the blood of his victim.

in the horn ignited and exploded, tear
ing one arm entirely off the girl, 16
years old, and burning her hair and
clothing entirely off. She will die. A
brother, boy of 6, was standing near
and parts of the horn struck him in
the face, knocking out both his eyes
and burning off all his clothing and
hair. He may recover.

Silver Before Party-TeHer's Promise.
DENVER, Col. May lathe Broad
way theater Saturday night was
crowded by those anxious to hear the
lecture of ex-Congressman E. P. Bland,
of Missouri, on bimetallism. The house
was one of the most enthusiastic ever
gathered in Denver and showed appre-
citation of every point made by vigor-
Gus applause. The closing sentence of
the address constituted an appeal to
all supporters of the free silver doc
trine to fatty refuse to vote for any
candidate not known to be out and out
in his free coinage views.
Senator Teller followed in a speech
of considerable significance, absolutely
indorsing the last sentiment and stat
ing positively that he had cast his last
vote for any party that opposed free
silver or was even lukewarrn in its sup
port.
