Paul Kleinschmidt was yesterday
found guilty of manslaughter before
Judge Pond. The case was given to
the jury shortly after o'clock, and,
in making his charge, Judge Pond
stated that the verdict must be
either guilty Of manslaughter in the
first degree or not guilty. The jury
retired and within an hour reached
an agreement. In presenting it's
verdict, the jury asked that judicial
clemency be exercised in sentencing
Kleinschmidt as it appeared that the
trouble occurred during a drunken
brawl. in which defendant had en-
gagged to prevent an assault upon his
uncle Gall by Peigert and others.
The prisoner was remanded to Jail
and will not be sentenced until Fri
day, when it is believed he will re-
ceive the minimum sentence of five
years.

by process of law to the affections and

The case is a peculiarly sad one. and

which way it is determined. In 1892
Mrs. Colby No. 1 went to Chicago and
left her husband in Minneapolis. large

OMAHA, Neb., April 23.-The
Omaha Livestock exchange today
censured Secretary of Agriculture
Morton for his erroneous. idea,
which is at present working to the
great detriment of the cattle inter-
ests of the country in creating
wrong impression as to the relative
cost of cattle and beef
After reciting the manner of his
adopted: Be it Resolved, That we,
members of the South Omaha Live
stock Exchange, call the attention of
the honorable secretary of agricul-
ture and the country at large ito the
fact that during the first three
months of the present year cattle
receipts at Chicago with a full corn
crop in Illinois. Indiana and adjacent
territory fell off II per cent as
against 1894; Kansas City receipts
fell off Is per cent, Notwithstanding
big increase in Texas shipments,
and Omaha, in the very heart of the
drought-stricken country, fell off 80
per cent on account of this shortage;
cattle prices advanced from 81 to
~ per hundred as. compared
with year ago, and the higher
prices for beef naturally followed.
With higher prices for beef and the
press agitation on this subject, con-
sumption fell off and cattle values
declined in consequence. We regard
this present depression in cattle
values, however, as only temporary,
as the indications are that the next
three months of this year will witness
further reduction in available cat
tie supplies of fully 90 per cent. We
are satisfied that there can be no
combine possible among the buyers

diversified interests represented

CHICAGO PACKERS DEEFINGt
IL
They Talk of Reckless Agitation
". Started by Morton.


p CHICAGO, April %. THE Chicago
Live Stock Exchange today adopted a
set of resolutions setting forth that
cattle receipts at the four principal
western markets so far have been
10000 head less than for the same
period of 1894, and, as a result prices
have advanced, causing correspond
ing increase in wholesale prices of
dressed beef, The resolutions de-
clare that exaggerated reports and
false, conclusions have been widely
circulated as to- the cause OF the re-
cent advance I'm prices and such Jun
founded reports have caused q de-
ing in decentralization of the trade
and consequently lower prices for cat
tie" The Chicago Live Stock Ex-
change requests the public to Withhold
Judgment until the department of
agriculture shall have thoroughly in
vestigated the matter. 1t further pro-
nounces the present agitation biased
upon the claims of conspiracy among
large dealers unjust and injurious, and
that the statements set forth are SUBJ
stantially untrue and that the whole
industry is depressed thereby and that
the interests of the feeders and ship
pers of the whole country are placed
in jeopardy" 1t invites the press to
investigate the controversy and give
their conclusions the same publicity as
has been given to reckless reports.

clare for Sound Money.
LEXINGTON, KY, April 23.-The
Republicans of Woodford county, Sen
ator Blackburn's home, have met his
ultra-silver interview with the most
radical utterance heard this year from
the anti-free coinage ranks. In their
convention to select delegates to the
state convention, they declared at
length, in unequivocal terms, for
single gold standard, with only one
dissenting vote. Following is the full
text of the resolutions:
Resolved, That a sound and stable
currency is one of the chief supports
of constitutional government and is
absolutely indispensable to nations
commerce, both at home and abroad
Civilized nations have long since
adopted the metals, silver and gold, as
the best foundation for such currency.
Enlightened craftsmanship has de-
i. creed that it was impossible to main
tain the two metals on a parity, and
that gold should occupy the higher
place, and was the only possible sub
stantial basis for national currency
. standard. Resolved, That we regard
all efforts to force bimetailism and the
unlimited coinage or the so-called free
coinage of silver upon the government
as fraught with dire disaster to ma
tional credit and to the material in
terests of the business community:
. and as Republicans, we pledge our in
1uence and support to such measures
as will aid in the maintenance of the
single gold standard as the chief COR
nerstone of our national monetary sys-
tenn.
Only one man protesteB and ne said
he desired to go on record as a BIZ
metallist. The action of the Versailles
converHo0 has created a political SEN
sation, as 1t is a much more radical
utterance than the Republican state
convention was expected to make. 1t
is considered the rallying cry of oppo-
ssition to Blackburn and free silver, as
it starts from the senator's home.

Attorney Sawyer appeared before

the situation on the reservation is

thing should be done at once in regard
to 1t. Judge Dundy said the cases
were on the calendar and would not
be taken up until reached In their
regular order. When it was suggested
that they were now down below every

warmth, assured him that so far as ne
was concerned personally, no one who
had case in court at this time should
be disseminated against on account

reached, if any one was there to rep

tried, and not before. If attorneys
wished to go up among the Indians
instead of attending to their cases
they must take chances on delay. The
judge said he would take up the call
