j. ID. L. McGaughey Held to Answer
Before the Superior Court.
The preliminary examination of J. d. L..
McGaughey, charged with the murder of
DR.. ]. E. Plouf, was concluded Yesterday
morning before Judge Conlan.
The prosecution rested its case last Fri
day, and Attorney Eddy for the defend
ant, intlmated yesterday that he would
not submit any testimony for the defense.
The Judge summed up the evidence
briefly. The two had met on Market street.
DIR. Plouf struck the defendant with his
cane, knocking him down, and the defend
ant drew revolver and fred four shots
into the doctors body. He would not
accept the responsibility of determ;nine
the case, and thought it was better for q
jury to decide upon the facts. He wonld
therefore hold the defendant to answer
before the Superior Court, without bonds.

Business Methods 2

The business" administration of
this state seems to have done some
very coarse work at the dictation of Cy
Leland. Why were Leland's ''head-
quarters" maintained at the expense
of the statef Why were the clerks
employed there by Cy paid out of the
state funds? Why was it considered
necessary for the taxpayers to main
tain political headquarters for the
gang? Such acts are unprecedented,
and to say anything is unprecedented
in Kansas is saying good deal, con-
sidering the administrations we have
been afflicted with. He cannot eX-
pect the people to put up with such
indiscrete acts as he has been found
guilty of. The thing for Morrill, to do
is to serve his party and his state, and
let the corrupt gang go to the devil.
They will do him no good but lots of
harm. They have injured him greatly
already. It is impossible to associate
with them without becoming contain
mated. The Governor is no exception,
he is already pointed at with the finger
of scorn as part of the gang. Break
away, Major. The people are tired of
the gang. It is doomed to destruction.
You will be destroyed with it unless
you cut loose.-Leavenworth Times.

Instantly Killed.
i've years,

On Friday morning of last week, as
Samuel Pearson, aged 81, was coupling
cars at Horace, "a station on the Mo.
Pac. railroad west of HOisington), his
foot in some way caught in the switch
frog and he fell full length beneath the
cars, being instantly killed. His
remains were brought to his home in
Hoisington, and inferred in the GENE
terry there last Sunday; the funeral
services being held in the M. e. church
and were conducted by Rev. Mont
gomery. Deceased was unmarried,
was the eldest son of Capt. W. B.
Pearson, one of the oldest settlers Of
Homestead township, and was young
man we'll liked for his industrious hab-
its and jovial disposition. He was a
member OF Hoisington lodge, Il. 0. U.
W., and carried life insurance of
$4,000. The HoisingtOn lodge and
about 35 members of Great Bend lodge
turned out to the funeral, which was
doubtless the largest ever seen in HOis-
ington, there being nearly 100 carriages
in line; which demonstration testifies
to the high esteem in which the de-
ceased brother was held. The Great
Bend Workmen are especially prOfuse
in their compliments to Rev. Mont
gomery on his funeral sermon. The
DEMOCRAT extends sympathy to the
bereaved ones.

been time to give more extensive
notice. AS it was only about an hours
notice was given those who did attend.
After the first delegation had assem-
pied, and the sbride and gloom" had
been induced to re-enact the scene OF
quarter of century ago, the cornet
band voluntarily marched to the hand

strains of rich harmony on the moonllt
lawn.
Then the G.. A. r. comrades of Mr..
Allen marched up in plattoons, and
aligning themselves in front of the
residence, gave three lusty cheers for
the respected old residents.
The evening was a most delightful
one, and the hearty good will and we'll
wishes of their neighbors and friends
will be a green spot in the hearts of
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen for the next twenty

How About tn ose Canals?

EDITOR DEMOCRAT.
AS Andy Hoisington has again taken
charge Of the Register, and as he states
will continue to push the irrigation
enterprise begun last fall" [ would
like, for the benefit Of myself and a
large number of farmers on the line Of
the proposed t'canal'' to know where,
when, and by whom b as there an irri-
CATION canal been begun" Except on
paper) in Barton county? Also will
the farmers from whom contracts were
taken last fall-which contracts are
void if water is not furnished for irri-
CATION this summer-be expected to re-
new their allegiance to that paper
canal?
agree with Andy that some of these
days Barton county will have a large
acreage under irrigation; but I don't
believe he has ever been in position
to build either of the proposed canals
in this county, else he would have COM
menced work soon enough to secure the
generous support of the farmers
pledged him last fall. No doubt the
work would have been begun had the
farmers done as requested-lit in and
dug the ditch themselves and taken
''stock" for pay, but unfortunately flor
the ditchl we didn't have either time
or feed to donate to the scheme.
Mr.. Hoisington can set himself right
with us fellows by deeds, not words
idle words.
IF the ditch is put in, and water fur
nished, there will be no lack of takers;
but we ''hayseeds'' have been fooled SO
often Of late years that we are suspi-
cious- possibly sometimes unjustly so
of new schemes. especially when
| there are no actions to back them up
or give them color.

The Ground Secured.

The irrigation meeting Monday was
the farmers are very busy just now
with their spring crops. Carey's hall
was comfortably Gro wded when the
meeting was called to order by vice
president Norris and the secretary re-
ported progress since the last meeting.
The society was then addressed by
Hon. E. r. Moses, of Great Bend, who
made splendid talk on possibilities
and advantages of irrigation. His
speech was listened to with rapt atten-
tion and was logical and convincing.
Mr.. Moses was followed by Hon. w.
III. Rice, of Hoisington, who told the
people of the certainty of the finding of
an inexhaustable supply of water at
from 80 to 200 feet below the surface.
Mr.. TilIidux of the Western Home,
stead, at Tribune, Kansas, then gave
some results obtained by him in practi-
cal irrigation. Alex. Richer, of Holly
rood, also addressed the meeting on
sub irrigation.
Then came the main business of the
meeting, the receiving of offers for the
location of a state plant here.
The most available plat offered was
forty acres 2 miles south and miles
east of town, being ten acres each of
the farms of Messrs. Cbas. Montgomery
Charles O'Bleness. George O'Bleness
and F. V. Roesler Sr. The necessary
papers deciding the land to the state
will be made out in a few days and for
warded to the state board.
Should the state experimental station
be located on this land it will be of
great benefit to the community and the
above named gentlemen are entitled to
! the hearty thanks of all for their enter
prise and good sense in rendering
this land. Their venture is sure to re-
pay them many fold.
Now we mutt go before the board
when they meet at Great Bend and
there is scarcely a question but that a
plant will be located on the above land.

stopped saic he had in a 100 acres of
corn, SO acres of wheat, 5 acres of gar
den and a $50 acres of grass land-all
on one quarter-sectiOn. EARNED both
both sides of the hill you see, and got
in S15 acres one $50.
We saw notice as follows: "Want-
ed-as driver, deaf and dumb boy,

curing what they wanted with such a
boy. one old farmer replied: wall,

blindfold the preacher, and as it would

MANA SAHIB'S FATE REVEALED
shot by AN English 5 ,iior and Ills Body
Burned to Ashes

San Francisco, Aug. All historians

he leader of the Indian mutiny, who
was never seen after the battle of jung
aypoor. Now Captain William BROWN
an exBritish officer in the Indian SER
vice, and a resident Of San FranciscSS
has given what he say are the missing
,acts. Brown was an able navigator
and had training in the British navy.
so when the mutiny in India broke out
ne received command OF a gunboat and
soon after was made commodore Of the
Ganges, with the gunboat Benares as
MS ship. While in this vessel he had an
offer of a large sun of money from
Mana Sahib to desert to the mutineers.
The offer was brought by an Indian
princess, with whom he fell in love. He
'efused to desert, but he promised Mana
Sahib to burn his body and bury the
ashes in case the mutineers should be
killed. Soon after the enares was at
tackled at night by a large force of
;epoys. Brown shot their leader. who
proved to be Mana. Remembering his
promise, the body was burned and his
faithful wife, Soma, threw herself into
he flames and was burned with 1t. The
ashes of both were buried in the

San Francisco Chronicle Charges Supt. of
Mails Flint with Stnffing the
Mails for June-Investiga-
ton Likely.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 2-The
Chronicle this morning published a
sensation about Superintendent OF
Mails Flint. 1t is said by Railway
Postal Clerk f. S. Clover and others
that United States mails were fraudu-
lently stuffed with the advice and con-
sent of superintendent Flint during the
month of June, 1894. in order that
weights carried during that month.
which formed the basis for estimating
the compensation to be paid the rail-
roads for the mex FOUR years might
appear unduly large, They allege that
the superintendent fraudulently per-
mitted n encouraged the indiscrimi-
nate stuffing OF the mails; that he per-
mitted such violation Of laws as would
enable the Southern Pacific company,
during four years just beginning, To
rob the government of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars, and that the last
weighing was the most fraudulent
even perpetrated, though equal oppor-
tunities for crookedness have existed
ever since the construction Of the
roads. II is probable there will be a
congressional investigation into the
problem Of railway earnings and rail-
way mai service In all its ramifications.
