still More Muddied.

The city executive committee met in
adjourned session Thursday night,
but did nothing to straighten, out the
muddle in the second ward, except to
recommend the withdrawal Of both
candidates. Mr.. M. G. Forbes, who
was nominated on the face of the re-
turns, is still candidate in spite of
the action of the auxiliary or cam
paign committee, which threw out
enough ballots supposed to have been
cast for Forbes to reverse the result
and declared Mr.. j. D. Ware the
winner. Mr.. Forbes friends claim
the nomination for him and Mr..
Wares supporters insist that the aux
iliary committee had the right to
purge the returns and give the nomi-
nation to Mr.. Ware. Mr.. Forbes re-
fused to take dispositions and denied
the right of the auxiliary committee
to sit as returning board. A great
deal of bad feeling has been engen-
dered on both sides and as the Dem
ocratic majority is only about rs, the
indications are that Republican will
be elected.
The following resolution has been
adopted by the committee:
RESOLVED, that Whereas, under the
call we are of the opinion and de-
eide that NJ. G. Forbes should be de-
clared the nominee of the Democrat
ic party in the second ward, yet, for
the sake of harmony we recommend
that both ]. D. Ware and M. G..
Forbes withdraw in favor of third
party to be agreed on by them.
This leaves the matter in as bad a
shape as ever. The auxiliary COM
mittee holds that Mr.. Ware was
nominated and the executive COM
mittee that Mr.. Forbes SHOULD be
declared the nominee"
Unless some kind of compromise
is effected, neither of them can pos
sibly be elected.

FIVE ROUNDS.
4 All Featherweight bradley Cou'd stand
OF Heavyweight Hardin.
[winchester Democrat

Winchester Democrat
The great political pugilistic con-
test was abruptly finished at Emil
hence BY w. y. Bradley throwing up
the sponge and leaving P. Wat Har-
din undisputed master of the field.
The following is an account by
rounds.f
Round both contestants spi ang
into the ring at the call of time, Har-
din wearing his same old emblem
the rooster-while Bradley sported
his new and untried ones, the log
cabin and coon skin. Each man
came up smiling and looked conf
dent, Hardin led off with his "new
silver stroke" but failed to land,
while Bradley as return, countered
and delivered a full "gold-rib-roast-
err" which fell with telling effect up
on Hardin's unprotected side. Each
man then fought shy, looking for an
opening until the gong sounded.
Bradley's stock goes way up after
this round and betting all in his ia
vor.
Round Both men came up
smiling, Hardin looking better than
in the beginning. Bradley leads for
Hardin's record" but fails to land
and is in return treated to one of
Hardin's old time "honest knock
down arguments" Bradley leads
again but fails to land, while Hardin
plants well-directed blow on Brad
ley's "wind bag and buster" Gong
Hardin stock goes up and the bet
ting about even.
Round 3.-Hardin comes up first
with one of his old time smiles while
Bradley seems little groggy. Har-
din assumes the offensive with Brad
ley running and falling down to
avoid punishment. Hardin presses
the fight by landing on Bradley's
"wind" several times. Bradley tries
to "duck' and dodge" and seems to
be playing for time. Betting 8 to 2
in favor of Hardin.
Round 4.-As time is called Brad
ley steps forward, plainly showing
the effects of the severe blows which
Hardin had been dealing him, and
leads with one of his old "misstate-
ments" which Hardin gracefully par
ried and then in rapid succession
lands blows of "truth and honesty"
which 30 stagger Bradley that had
not the gong sounded when it
did, it would been the last of Brad
leys, Everything is Hardin and the
betting 2 to / that Bradley will not
last eight rounds.
Round 5.-Hardin shows up smil
ing without scratch while Bradley
is so weak and groggy from the effect
of his severe punishment of the last
two rounds, that he is scarcely able
to stand. Hardin proceeds with his
annihilator and pounds Bradley with
'honest statements, truth and facts
all around the ring. Bradley makes
weak attempts to defend himself,
but to no purpose. Bradley is evil
IDENTIFY licked and seems to know it.
Betting so to on Hardin, but none
taken.
Round 6.-Bradley comes to the
scratch badly bruised and severely
punished man, while Hardin seems
fresher than at any stage of the game
Bradley attempts to make lead but
catches sight of the cut of Hardin's
eye and drops out of the fight for
ever. Godfrey Hunter throws up the
sponge.

Pembroke Gleanings.

PEMBROKE, Sept. 13-The death OF
young Bettiker, the photographer
from Southern Ohio, which occurred
on the night of the 18th inst. has cast
a gloom over the entire community.

May, returned to her former home at
this place. Young Bettiker it seems
had been associated with Mrs. Rich
ards in the photograph business and
came with the bereaved widow to as
sist her in conducting the business at
this place. During his brief stay
here he had made most favorable
impression on all, as young man, of
sober habits, business integrity and
Christian character. About ten days
ago he was stricken down with ma
lignant type of fever and though
he had the best medical help and the
best of nursing, he grew worse daily
until death ended the struggle.
His aged father in Ohio was informed
of his condition and was too feeble
in health to come to his bedside.
His affianced bride, a young lady
of great sprightliness however, came
several days before his death and
was untiring in her ministrations to
the last. His body was inferred tenn
poarily in the cemetery here, the
weather being too warm to success
fully transport it to his home in Ohio
at this time.

ally large and as general thing is

on the "Ca pitAP' Soon.
WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 2.-In the United
States court here u motion for the ap
pointmeut of d receiver for the Topeka
Capital was argued before Judge Will
Jams. The motion grew out of au action
brought by ]. E. Baker of St Louis
against J. * Hudson, editor in chief and
principal stock holder of the Capital
Company on Judgment held by the
former. The arguments required the
greater part of the day. and went fairly
iato the details of the case, which
brought out the fact that Baker, the
plaintiff, was trying 10 procure receiv-
er for the Capital company, corpora
ton, on tho individual Indebtedness cf
Majar Hudson To this {. C. Baker v no
held . first mortgage on the pauy's
plant, objected on the grounds that 1t
would jeopardize his security and leave
him un Unprotected.
Judge Williams, in his decision. neith-
er refused nor granted L receiver. He
said he preferred to POSTPONE the matter
until the next rule day which is Novem-
ber IS, and thereby give the first mort
gagee a chance to foreclose his mortgage,
which ne ordered him 10 do without de-
lay. The Judge also mentioned in his
decision the frequency OF debtors giving
mortgages on their property with the ex-
press purpose of cutting out judgment
creditors, and said were that the only
question to be decided he would appoint
a receiver, hut there were other circum-
s. s.ances which caused him to defer the
appointment.
The claim of J. E. Baker, in whose
name the suit was brought. was about
( $6.0O0 He claimed that the incorpora-
ton of the Capital as a stock company
was done for the purpose of avoiding
debts, aad it was on this ground that Il
receiver was asked
There are several other mortgages
against the paper, besides that held by
c. C. Baker. one for $4,000 being held
by Mrs p. 3. Plumb, another by John r.
l.ulvane, and still another by c. B. Mer-
Ram. 1t was understood 50 the attor-
neys for J. E. Baker say. that none of
the mortgages would object to d receiver
and when the objection was offered by
c. c. Baker they were somewhat sur
prised Il is said that G. Q. Baker
wanted to be receiver and that the rest
of the creditors wanted Ex-Governor
Thomas A. Osborn appointed.
Judge Williams appointed S B. Isen-
hart of Topeka special master in the
case and Major Hudson's attorney ob-
! JSCteO ~ MS apPO4HNiI IASiAi" no ONJSS-
/ tion was overruled and when au excep-
ton to the railing was made Major I43d
son WAS given twenty days TO Effywer or
show reason why Isenhart should not be
appointed.
This leaves the question of who the
receiver will be open until November IS,
during which time c. {. Baker is expect
al to have his $4,000 mortgage salts
fed. The court said it had little sympa-
thy with any one who would hold a
blanket ever the Capital company for
eight years without taking any steps to

CoNsTANTIN0PLE, Oct 2.-Five hun

here The government is evidently
alarmed and the garrison is kept under

Trouble among the Armeniaus of this
city has been brewing. for a loag time
past, the bitter feeling against the au-

nians on Monday marched with this in
tention towards the palace of the porte
The authorities, in anticipation of
trouble, had stationed strong force of
police about the palace and the other
buildings were also guarded. The ar
rival of the ArmeniaGs at the palace was
the signal for several desperate en-
counters between them and the police,
during which several Turks and Arme-
mans were killed or wounded.

places the killed at ten with forty per-
sons severely wounded. In addition, as
already cabled, about 800 arrests were
made Many Armenans during the
fray were thrown to the ground and
severely beaten by the Turkish police
men, after which they were securely
bound and carted away to prison. One
Armenian, after having been terribly
beaten with a blud geon, was shot and
killed by policeman.
The arresting of Armeniaus went on
all dav Monday and yesterday and was
accom- panied by more bloodshed. several
Armenians who resisted attempts TO take
them into custody being killed while
fighting the police
In addition eight Armeni-ns were killed
within the precincts of the ministry of
police. where besides many persons were
wounded, the Turks were greatly Gu
ragged at the outbreak and threatened
vengeance upon the Armenians.
The authorities are doing everything
possible 10 belittle the affair. But there
is no denying that it was most serious
disturbance and that more trouble is an

At the palace the utmost CONSERVATION
