TAUBENECK A TRAITOR.
So Declares the Reform Press Assoc.
citation.


Kansas City. Feb. 24.-One hundred
and fifty members Of the National Re
form Press association met here for
the purpose OF considering questions
looking to the advancement of the
principles advocated by the Popullst
party. Hon. H.. Il. T~aubeneck, chair
man of the Peoples party national or
~ganiZation, has sent an ultimatum all
the way from Washington, setting
forth his views as to how the party
should be managed, and threatening
that unless these are carried put he
will resign his present position. The
executive committee held a long ses-
sion in which a heated discussion of
T~aubeneck's letter was had. 1t was
plainly the sense Of the majority that
T~aubeneck's proposition was entirely
inimical to the interests of the Peo-
pies party, and the following commit
tee was appointed to draft resolutions
on the question: +. X. Burkett, Mis-
sissippl; Harry Tracey, Texas: w. A.
Hotchkiss. Minnesota; DR.. S. G. Mac:
kin, Kansas and J. +. Dixon. Missouri.
The committee soon reported a set OF
resolutions declaring 1t to be the sense
of the convention that any ore who
would work for or suggest such d.
verGent ideas as manifested by Mr.,
Taubeneck was a traitor to the cause
and unworthy Of the party support
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.

HE VOW WANTS TO COME BACK.
xIsnaue Says That He VIII Return
~ lie Is Not Prosecuted Until His
Affairs Are Settled.

Minneapolis, Feb. "a. - Louis #.
Nenage. president of the Northwestern
Guaranty Loan company, has been
heard from. He has written a long let
ter TO a personal friend in Minneapolis
On defense of himself. The principal
ooint of interest about this letter is
the tentative proposition Menage
makes looking toward his return to
Minneapolis, the clearing up Of the
tangled affairs Of the Guaranty Dan
company and its auxiliary companies,
and the claims against him personally,
and the postponement Of the trial Of
charges of larceny and mismanage-
ment until such time as the work OF
regenerating the company should be
concluded.
Mr.. Menage, at great length, de-
scribes the series Of gigantic transac-
tons in which he engaged with the
hope OF %recouping the company, shows
how they were justified or made neces-
sary and how they would have sue
ceeded but for the panic Of '93. He
asserts with much emphasis his own
innocence Of intentional wrong doing
or mismanagement, and declares it can
be established in court. He explains
that he was obliged to fee for his life
when the crash came, his physician
having advised him hat to stay, on
sidering the mental and physical con-
dition in which he then was, meant
either death or an insane asylum. He
adds that he is now restored to mental
and physical strength and is willing
to attempt the work of satisfying all
claims against the companies and him
self for a salary simply large enough
TO support his family. This work, he
believes, could be accomplished in a
period of FIVE years. The letter, for
obvious reasons, gives no hint as to the
present whereabouts of Mr.. Menage.

LEGISLATORS swAMPED.
Visit to the Penitcntfary Very I'm.
satisfactory,

@htbSshttoE
st. Paul, Feb. 24.-The visit Of the
members of the legislature to the Still
water penitentiary was a junket pure
and simple. 1t was not the fault Of the
members, neither does the blame rest
with the board Of managers or with
any of the officials Of the institution.
1t was the fault Of the outside people
who went either by invitation or of
their own volition. A large number
Of citizens, knowing of the proposed
trip, decided to accompany the legis-
lative body, and they put their decis-
Ion in force to the extent Of several
hundred. The members of the legis-
lature were Swamped, and the man
ayers and officials Of the penitentiary
threw up their hands when the multi
tude swarmed into the prison.
The party left on the 1910 train
over the st. Paul & Duluth road, and
the six extra coeChes attached to the
train were packed with people. When
the train stopped opposite the prison
In saltwater the managers and Of
ficials knew they would be unable to
properly care for the crowd, but they
did the best that could be done under
the circumstances. 1t was impossible
for the lawmakers to learn what they
had zone to saltwater to find out, for
the outsiders were so largely in the
majority that the management Of the
institution was kept busy looking after
their wants, and, especially, feeding
them.

the south part of the city and who Is
reported to be a miser, was called out
of bed this morning by five masked
men who seized him, and at the point
of pistols, tried to make him divulge
the hiding place Of his money. He
refused, and they sc: fire to his hair
and burned 1t off, and burned his body
with a red-hot poker. He still refused,
and they placed his feet over a fire and
roasted them. Upon his still refusing
they beat him into insensibility and,
after ransacking the house, escaped.

LEGISLATORS Fight.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 24.-The first
great sensation OF the Oklahoma legis-
lature occurred last night. The Repub-
leans in the house, largely In the ma
jority, were holding a caucus In the
house chamber, discussing matters Of
party concern, when Representative
Nesbit, Populist, and Representative
Hailles, Democrat, both of Cleveland
county, demanded admittance, and
were refused by the doorkeeper. They
declared they had "A right In and
could not be shut out by a Republican
caucus Nesbitt secured a big ladder
and he and Halle proceeded to knock
the door down. Representative George
Vickers Of Alva was the first Republic
an cut and was soon raining blows on
Nesbitt's head. A serious riot was
narrowly ayerted.

M Pooling nilI.
Washington, Feb. 24.-As the SEES
sion Of the senate was about to close
Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota gave
a decidedly interesting turn to the
otherwise tedious debate on the Indian
appropriation bill. 1t has been dis
cussed for several days, and Mr.. Call,
in charge Of the measure, sought to Sc
cure an agreement for a final vote to-
morrow. There were numerous objec-
lions, and among them one from Mr..
Pettigrew, which was emphasized by
the brief but pointed statement he
made. 1t was in the nature of a dis
closure that a private arrangement
had been reached among senators
whereby the pooling bill would be
taken up at 2 o'clock and held before
the enate day and night until passed.
The statement came so Unexpectedly,
and was the sequel to such active work
by the friends OF the pooling bill that
it created something OF a sensation
among the senators and spectators.
Mr.. Pettigrew added to his announce
ment that he would take effective
steps to defeat the passage Of the
pooling bill by objecting to tie dis
posal Of the Indian appropriation bill
or other measures having precedence.
The contract school item Of the Indian
bill was completed in such form as to
provide a 20 per cent reduction from
the expenditures Of last year.
The house devoted the day to the
further consideration Of the general
deficiency appropriation bill. Most Of
the time was spent in the discussion
Of questions Of minor Importance re-
lating to extra compensation for en-
ployes Of the house OF representatives.

Thomas Moore, of the Twin City sa-
loon in this city, whom Young also
tried to victimlze with a check on a
Minneapolis bank, said that one night
a mar who used to live in the latter
city remarked about Young, whom he
saw in the saloon:
There Is the fellow who can tell
more about the killing OF Katherine
Cling than anybody except Hayward

st. Louis, Feb. 2i.-Fred Young. q
former business man OF Minneapolis,
whom rumor connects with the Cling
murder case, was arrested here to-
day, charged with passing a fraudu-
lent check on his landlady. He said
that he had made out the check in
question and got 1t cashed through
Mrs. Nevins. He had an account az
the st. Anthony Falls National bank
in Minneapolis when he left that city
recently and supposed when he drew
the check that there was enough left
to cover 1t. The prisoner said he knew
Harry Hayward well, being quite In
innate with him, and through him
became acquainted with Miss Cling.
Young, however, denied emphatically
that he had any connection with the
murder or that he had any previous
knowledge of the crime. He explained
his presence in this city by saying he
was looking for work. According to
his story, Young had a good position
In Minneapolis, but left it to come
here. He gave no reason for leaving
that city.
