Jerry Simpson.

Hon. Jerry Simpson was an ADvo-
CATE caller this week. He appears to
be gaining his old vigor and energy
and is speaking nearly all the time.
He came here from Seneca and was on
his way to Howard. He speaks at
Kansas City, Mo-, Labor day, and at
Lawrence on Tuesday. He says that
he finds populists jubilsnt and enthusi-
astic everywhere.
In his speech at Seneca Jerry spoke
of Dick Blue as q man who had OBJ
tanned Office under false pretenses. He
had, when before the people, expressed
himself as for silver, but now he ad-
mits he is gold-bug,, and alleges that
he always was. A gentleman in the
audience suggested that hanging would
be the thing for such a man, and Jerry
stated that he might look we'll at the
end of rope. He has done consider
able work in Missouri and feels very
much pleased with the reception given
him. His meetings were very largely
attended and the people were greatly
interested. He will speak pretty stead
lily until election.

Legislation Needed.

Some months ago Stebbins & Evans
brought suit in the district court
against Mrs. McKiernan for the
amount of judgmentrepresenting the
difference between the face of mort
gage and the amount for which the
property was sold when foreclosed.
The property was bid in by the holder
of the mortgage for an Insignificant
amount and a judgment for the bal
ance entered against the owners who
were Mrs. McKiernan and her hus-
band. Subsequently Mr.. McKiernan
died. lie held policy in the knights
and Ladies of Security payable to his
wife, the amount of which was gar
nisheed and the money tied up pending
a trial.
The judge in referring to the case
stated that he had been trying for sew
eral months to discover some way to
decide in favor Of the widow but had
been unsuccessful. This may be, and
probably is, good law. 1t does not,
however, seem to be good sense. A
life insurance policy should be beyond
the reach of obligations incurred prior
to the death of the insured, whether
the debts be of the insured or the bene-
ficiary. Mortgage foreclosure should,
when the property is taken, result in
satisfying the mortgage. In this case
the woman loses her property and a
portion of her husbands life insur-
ance all in payment of mortgage
given on the property itself. The
amount taken from her life insurance
money is really stolen. Legislation
should be enacted protecting the widow
in such cases.

viously pleasant homes. He wilfully
libeled poor old soldier by the name
of John Deppe who brought criminal
action against him, which resulted in
Gaines conviction. However, through
his influence with the "powers that

This man, who is the same man who
hit poor old Mrs. EtZel such blow as
to put her in condition that death
would afford her relief, is sustained by
the police department and efforts are
made to show that he was justified in
doing what he did. He should be re-
moved from the force at once and a
man who is not so easily "addled," q
man who has some regard for human
life, a man who has some little char
acter to begin with, man who has
some manly qualities, should be ap-
pointed in his stead.

The Santa Fe Sale.

The final order for the sale of the
Santa Fe under mortgage foreclosure
was made yesterday by Judge Cald-
well at LeaVenworth. The order was
to have been made but a question
arose as to whether the June term of
court which convenes at Leavenworth
could be adjourned to this place.
Within ten days, Judge johnson, mas
ter in chancery, will set date for the
sale, which will be within sixty days.

the board of charities show less than 3
per cent. of old soldiers employed in
the various state institutions while the
previous administration showed per-
centage very much higher. The pres

running this administration, whose
promises made merely serve to show
what will not be done, whose regard
for law is less intense than that of an
anarchist, whose character is so low as
to defy the descriptive powers of man,
whose pretended love for the veteran is
merely pretense and pretext to assist
in getting into power and whose only
object and mission on earth is to care
for self let the result be what it may,
cares only for the old soldier that he
may use him as tool to get into power
and position. The veteran who voted
for Morrill, did not know perhaps that
he was voting twenty-six comrades out
of Office to be replaced by fifteen and
all this in one building. He now must
feel that he was buncoed. He made a
mistake. No wonder ex-Department
Commander Kelly, who fought hard for
republican success last fall, now lifts
up his voice to protest against the
treatment given the soldier by this ad-
ministration. The old boys are getting
fewer every day. They should not
now be subjected to insult and cold in.
difference. They should be remem-
bered and given the treatment they de-
serve for the service done to the coun-
try when they were needed worse than
republican politicians are now needed.
1t would seem that this lesson would
serve to lead the veterans to see that
the old republican party has gotten
away from its old position and that it
no longer cares aught for him. If the
veterans have a remnant of the old
blood in them that was fired in 1861
they will resent the treatment being
given their comrades by this admins
trstion and resent it where resentment
counts--at the ballot box.

POLICE OUTRAGE.
Policeman Gaines Kills Highly Respected
Citizen.

OlLlAeu.
Monday night Patrolman Gaines
shot and killed Albert Cruger, who re
sided at 1913 North Harrison. Gaines
accompanied by man by the name Of
Schneider, from Wabaunsee county
had gone to Cruger's house to arrest q
man by the name Of Robbins who
Schneider alleged had stolen buggy
tongue from him. Schneider was moi
an officer. Gaines had no warrant fol
Robbins nor for Cruger nor for anyone
else. 1t was not alleged that any crime
of any degree was being committed al
that time. No action was pending in
any court any where against any OF
the parties except Gaines. No attempt
was made to locate or identify stolen
property. This police officer simply
went there TO arrest Robbins. He did
not even wear uniform, the regula-
tlon hat was missing and no star was
visible. Robbins resisted arrest, that
IL, he ran when Gaines approached.
Gaines caught him, and as he brought
him back, Cruger's mother, an elderly
lady, came up having in her hand a
piece Of rubber hose and inquired if he
had "a warrant for Robbins. Gaines
grabbed the piece of hose, and striking
her with it said ITO - with your pa
perS." AT this point Cruger came up
and resented the treatment given his
mother by striking Gaines with piece
Of what seems to have been hoop iron.
Such piece of iron was found near
the scene of the trouble which answers
to the description given by Mrs. Hen.
thOrne and Mrs. Cruger, each of whom
told very straightforward story. I'm
rnediately after striking the blow Cru.
ger retreated a few steps and Gaines
fired at him resulting in Cruger's
death. Gaines went home and had his
head bandaged and was apparently
suffering severe pain. However, at
the coroner's inquest an examination
Of Gaines wounds showed that the
blow received on his head was not by
any manner of means severe one. 1t
appears that Gaines exceeded his au-
thority In the matter. The coroner
Immediately summoned jury consist
ing OF Harry Hibben, j. f. Carter, j.
Hewett, j. w, Bailey, A. Slusser and
William SwitZer. This jury made a
thorough examination of the matter
and returned the following verdict:
''That the said Albert Cruger came
to his death by q pistol shot fired by
Officer II. L. Gaines while in the dis.
charge of his duties as policeman, and
while we cannot justify Officer Gaines
for this act, yet the fact that he was
assaulted is an extenuating circum-
stance"
The verdict is somewhat peculiar
It Is true Cruger had hit Gaines but he
was moving away from him when the
shot was fred. When he shot, Gaines
testified that Cruger was eight or ten
feet away from him. There could be
no immediate danger of a renewed
assault.
Mr.. Cruger was painter by trade,
b good name and was an indus rious
citizen. Everyone with whom the AID.

SOLDIERS sLIGHTED.
Republican and POpulist Treatment of the
Veterans Compared.

During the campaign of 1894 the re-
publicans of Kansas made all manner
of pledges to the old soldiers. That
party has been making platforms for
years filed with glittering promises to
the veteran, and the "bloody shirt"
has been the text of large majority
of republican speeches. Soldiers reun-
ions were captured and Populists were
seldom if ever permitted to speak at
them, and were never invited. If a
Populist should happen to be per-
mitted to speak he was carefully en-
joined not to talk politics, yet he would
be followed by a republican who would
make brazen partisan speech. Every
effort was made on the part of the re-
publican politician to make the vet
eran think that he and he only was his
political friend. The soldier reasoned
that all those speeches, all those plat
forms, all those resolutions must mean
something. In 1886 to further impress
on the mind of the soldier the idea
that the republican party was his
friend the following act was passed by
the legislature: "Lsws of 1886, Oh.
l60, Sec. 1. In grateful recognition OF
the services and sufferings of persons
who served in the army and navy of
the United States in the war of the re
bellion and have been honorably dis
charged therefrom, they shall be pre-
ferred for appointment and employ
ment to positions in every public de-
psrtment." The Populist party made
to the soldier no exaggerated prom
ises. That party simply said that ne
should have the fair and honorable
treatment he deserved, and resorted to
no demsgogicsl practices to hoodwink
the old veterans into voting the ticket.
With these conditions existing it
would be reasonable to suppose that
the old boys would fare very much
better under q republican than under
Populist administration. However,
such does not seem to be the case.
The state house employees and officers
at present show fifteen old soldiers,
the names of whom and positions held

Beef and pork, salt fish, potatoes
and hominy were the staple diet all
the year round.
The mail of the whole country did
not equal that of single second rate
office now.
The only shoes were stout contrlv-
ances of strong hide, with wooden
pegs or hob-nails.
There were no pianos; the ladies OF
musical talent played on the spinet or
harpischord.
buttons were scarce and expensive,
and the trousers were fastened with
pegs or laces.
The only recognized method of i'm
parting information was by the liberal
use of the rod.
All the population of village as
sembled at the inn on ''post Jay'' TO
hear the news.
There were no threshing machines,
Wheat was threshed out on the barn
floor with fails.
The women's dresses were puffed
with hoops and stood out two or three
feet on each side.
A fever patient was forbidden to
drink water, and smallpox was treat
ed in a dark room.

ALL WAS NOT WE'LL.

On board naval vessels marines are
stationed as sentries on various parts
of the upper deck. During the night
they are obliged every half hour, when
the ships bell is struck, to call out
the name Of their station, and then
add the words, "All's WELL"
Some years ago the flagship Brook
Iyn was at anchor one stormy winters
night in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
On the top gallant torecastle OF the
frigate was stationed German ma
rine, whose familiarity with the Eng
lish language was none too generous.
For long time he paced TO and fro
on the snow-covered platform, while
the gale flung the big white flakes
against his face, and the bitter cold
numbed the hands that held the mus
ket.
AT last the sentry stood his rife
against the stay in order to beat his
fingers and arms into warmth, and
while engaged in that exercise the
ship gave lurch, the rifle slipped
and pitched overheard. Frightened,
and not knowing exactly how to re
| port his loss, the poor fellow waited
until the ships bell sounded and it
came his turn to report concerning
his station. AS the officer of the deck
listened to catch the hail, troubled
