TO SOLlDIFY THE SOLDIER VOTE
Great object of the National Reunion
to BE Held in Ohio in june


Caldwell, Ohio, April 21.--'rhe publica-
ton of the call for the national soldiers
reunion to be held here on June IA and
Is next and the political tone Injected
into the document by the national com
mittee to the effect that the men who
saved the government should be a fac
tor in its administration and that the
time has arrived when. they should get
together formulate their principles and
make their dema nds. has already result
ed in an avalanche of letters pouring
down upon the promoters of the re-
union from veterans all over the coun-
try. Many of these deprecate any eff
fort In the direction Of mixing sentiment
with politics or of mixing up the eX-
soldiers of the war, as SUCH in a politi-
cal movement, but the majority com
mend the call and rc-echo its senti-
ments. One veteran, writing from
Washington county, in Oregon, declares
that he knows from personal observa-
ton that in many localities the c. A. r.
Is but semi-political organization to
foist unworthy politicians into positions
of trust and emolument. A member
of General Ben Butler post of Chicago
says that the old soldiers In Illinois
have been thinking, and are still think
ing in the strain of the sentiment
enunciated in the call that they are at
fever-heat on this subject, and that
after the next state encampment they
will reorganiZe in self-defense. He con-
cludes as follows:
IF the old veterans of the state of
Illinois stand together land they Wild
we can name our next governor and his
running mates. They are tired of being
made tools of. and this expresses the
feeling of 9S per cent. of the veterans of
Illinois,
The national committee gives out the
following: In response to letters from
every quarter asking for the basis or
plan of representation, the following
instructions are given: Every state Is
expected and requested to hold a state
convention for itself on May 30, and
there and then choose its own delega ties
to the national reunion. Each state
may send as many as II seems proper.
but no state shall have more or less
than two votes in the convention
though all shall have voice and NAV
be present at the proceedings, to the
end that every state may have equal
power to decide how the soldier-vote of
the Union shall be cast in 1896 This is
the great and only object of the gather
ing-the crystallization and solidlfica-
ton of the soldier-yote"

San Francisco. Cal, April 2l.-Henry
Piper has been arrested by ". r. Har-

agent, on charge of stealing gold and

BRUTAL MURDER OF JOHN WELLS
Further Particulars Regarding the Late
Assassination in Northern Idaho

ASSASSINATION in Northern Idaho.
Wallace. Idaho, April ADMINISTRATION
into the recent brutal murder brings out
the fact that John Wells body was found
about 300 feet on the steep hillside above
the Tiger mill, where there is q COMPARE
lively unused trail. which does not seem
to lead to anywhere in particular. Walter
Reed, the young man who made the
gruesome discovery, came upon the body
while gathering wild flowers. Wells was
lying on his face. There We're two large
sashes in the back of his head, each four
to five inches in length and several inches
apart. In addition to these wounds, which
had been made with an AK, the skull had
evidently been pounded with the pole of
the same instrument, for the skull was
crushed to pieces. Within a foot of his
left side his hat was lying entirely unin-
1ured. A roll of blankets were fastened to
his back in the usual manner by a rope
thrown over his head and one shoulder
On his right, within six inches of the body
lay the AK with which he had been killed,
the head and the lower part of the han
die being covered with blood. Close by,
on the same side of the body, was a
cheap valise of the box pattern, which
was locked and unmolested At the end
of the valise was a small cotton sack con-
tanning pair of shoes, and close by his
head was 50-pound flour sack containing
a clock. There was nothing to indicate
any struggle His face was lying In a pool
of blood which had flowed from the
wounds in his head.
The only theory so far advanced ia
that the man was murdered for money.
although he is not believed to have had
much. He was paid off two days before,
but had lost heavily gambling in the
meantime. He was seen as late as mid
night on Tuesday. He had no relatives
here.

the men were murdered in the cabin
