SMITHvILLE, Dec. 6. 1t is not gener-
ally believed that Webb, grocery and
whisky dealer of this city, has commits
ted suicide at Helma, Ga, on the Geor-
gia and Alabama railroad, as stated by
him in letter to his father and family.
The supposition is now that he has alb
seconded after running his stock as low
as poss5 bic and borrowing $3.50 from his
father few days before leaving his wife
and one child to look for their support
from stepfather and father-in-law. He
has some property here, but it will not
cover his defcien 3ies in value.

A BITTER FIGHT IS ON.
Exciting Times ExpectedAmOng
Kentucky Democrats.
Lines Are Drawn on Endorsing
the Administration.
GOLD VERSUS SILVER.
Silver Men Will Try to Force a
Resolution.
Gold Men Claim a Majority Of
the Delegates.
GOLD VERSUS SILVER.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 24-The Demo
cratic state convention here tomorrow
will be among the hottest contests in the
history of the commonwealth. Many
delegates were here over Sunday. All
are here today for the preliminary skir-
mish in the district meetings The polls
OF all the Louisville papers show the
gold delegates to be in the majority. The
silver men dispute their estimate and
charge that the Louisville papers claim
most of the uninstructed delegates when
those delegates are equally divided.
The lines are drawn on the endorse
menJ of the administration CarIlsIes
friends are for the administration, and
Black burns friends are against the ad-
ministration.
General Cassius NJ Clay is the admin
istration candidate for governor and
General P. w. Hardin is the anti admin
istration candidate. The silver men will
try to force resolutions before the regular
organization. The gold men are bitterly
opposed to this. as they claim Hardin is
a pronounced free silver coinage man, as
much so as Senator Blackburn, and If
nominated wants a free silver plank.
The first test of strength will come to-
morrow on selection of a temporary
chairman, who has the appointment OF
two members at large on all the COM
mittees. There are eleven congress
sional districts. 1t is estimated that the
gold men will have six and the
silvermen five on the committee
on resolutions from these districts, but if
the silver men secure the organization,
the platform committee will stand to 6.
This is the fight that is being made
today. Neither side will announce
its candidates for temporary chairman.
although Congressman w. J. Stone and
A. S. Berry are still most prominently
mentioned by their respective sides for
president of the convention.
The Post which strongly supports the
administrations policy today, has full
poll of the delegates showing 435 for
Hardin, 379 for Clay and 65 doubtful.
The Post says: There are S79 delegates
44O necessary to choice and the polling
indicates that Hardin only lacks five
votes The Hardin men say they have
the five votes. This is not by any means
certain. General c. Gordon Williams
was defeated 16 years ago by James B.
McCreary when within five votes of the
nomination.
Ex Governor Buckner publishes card
today saying that he would not accept
the nomination for governor and insists
that sound money Democrats must select
some other name if they cannot name
General Clay. General Buckner says he
is a candidate for senator on a sound
money platform and will have nothing
else.

HASTE Is NECESSARY

If the City Council Expect to Find Any
Asphalt to Repair.
The committee on streets and walks of
the city council held q meeting today
and considered the bids for repairing
the asphalt pavements. There were
two bids. J. W. Shsffer offered to do the
work with the new surface heater for
80 cents per square yard and ]. T.
Bradley made a bid of 80 cents but did
not specify how he would do the work.
Mr.. Shaffer appeared before the COM
mittee and said that he had not under
stood that the bidding was to be open,
and asked leave to withdraw his bid.
The committee decided to declare all
bids off and another opportunity will be
given to submit sealed proposals
This work had better be got at pretty
soon, or there won't be any asphalt to re-
pair.

A LunRtic Was Going to Fix Him SO He
WonIdn,t Hurt Old Soldiers.

bell an old soldier from Buffalo, n. Y,
is in Jail here. He told the chief of po-
lice that he was on his way to Washing
ton to kill Grover Cleveland. 81 know
the chap WE'LL" he said, "and mean to
put him where he won't be able to do the
old soldiers any more harm"
Realizing.thst he had g crazy man to
deal with Chief Hamilton replied that
he too longed to perform the same act,
and suggested that they go together,
president Cleveland could be more
easily assassinated by two men than by
one, you know" he said to the lunatic.
To this the man assented, and away the
two started.
Chief Hamilton kept the man talking
about himself and telling how he would
carve President Cleveland until the viii
lage lookup was reached. At this point
the man grew suspicious and wanted to
know what they should do in that build
ing. Chief Hamilton replied that they
would step in and talk the matter over
for minute or two. The next second
the lunatic was hustled into a cell.

1T WILL MOVE OUT.
Mutual Life of New York VIII Have No
More to Do With kAnSa4.

The Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York, better known as the Har-
per company, has decided to withdraw
from Kansas as a business territory
without making fight.
The Harper company for years made
struggle to be admitted to do business in
Kansas and their efforts were fnally re-
warded when S. 81. Snider became state
insurance commissioner
The business of that company has not,
however, been as large as was antici-
pated, and the general officers of the
comp. nv have decided not to fight the
order of Insurance Commissioner Geo
T. Anthony forbidding foreign mutual
insurance companies to operate in Kansas.
The Massachusetts Mutual does not
want to leave Kansas, and it is under
stood will make fight against Commis-
sioner Anthony's order.
The general agent of the Massachu-
setts Mutual was granted an extension of
ten days when the license of the other
companies was revoked, and that extern
sion will expire tomorrow.
1t is expected that a representative of
the company will arrive from the home
office to present its case to Commissioner
Anthony tomorrow.
