THE SILVER MOVEMENT
1t Is Daily Growing In Strength
at Horton.
Silver Men of All Parties Are
Getting Together.
Chester I. Long Refuses to Define His
Position Until He Opens His
Campaign at Garden City.

Horton, Kan, July 16.-The political
situation is being discussed on every
corner and at every turn Of the road.
The main issue is the financial plank
adopted at the Chicago convention
A Bryan Free Silver club has been
organized. Monday night a number of
Populists and Democrats met and
formed a temporary organization. Next
week a permanent set of officers Will
be elected and quarters secured. The
Evans & Diss building on West Front
street has been secured, and will be
used as permanent headquarters. Free
silver literature will be subscribed for,
and members of all political faith will
be invited to attend. Ben Smith.
prominent farmer residing mile
northwest of town, who has been h1e-
long Republican has declared that he
will not support Mckinley and the st.
Louis platform. It is also said that
Hon. A F. Moore, county commission
er and one of the leading Republicans
of northeast Kansas, has strong silver
sentiments and is not an ardent adj
rflirer of the gold platform. Both bus
mess and wOrkingmen are daily COM
ing over to the silver ranks.
A local fight is on between the Schil-
ling Republicans and the young
crowd. w. E. McCandless is the stand
ard bearer OF the latter faction, and
will receive the support of the young
men. The primaries viii be held Sat
urday evening to select delegates to
the senatorial convention; and a warm
time is expected.
The Populists held their primaries on
Saturday evening, July Il, to select
delegates to attend the delegate con-
vention at Hiawatha, on Saturday,
July IS. A full delegation was selected.
The Popuists viii place full ticket
in the field this fall for county officers.
It is too early yet, to speak of fusion.
Charles Macho, a prominent farmer,
living three miles north of town, can
secure the nomination for representa-
tive. if desired J. H. Atwood of Leav-
enworth, has many friends and warm
supporters in this county. Prominent
men of all political Affiliations desire to
see him nominated. On the other hand
the silver record made by Case Bro
derrick. in the last session of congress,
has endeared him to the masses; yet a
few are anxiously inquiring if he will
stand ON the St. Louis platform.

reception Friday night to William J.
Bryan are maturing rapidly. It is now
more fully realized that there is des-
tined to be an immense thrOng in Lin
coin on that date, and the prospect is
bright for a demonstration of NAM
moth proportions. Dispatches to the
effect that Mr.. Bryan would undoubt-
eddy locate his headquarters in Lincoln
have had an inspiring effect, and great
ly treasured all citizens.
1t at one time promised to be chilly
for the Democratic candidate. Thou
sands of letters are at the postoffice
awaiting the arrival of Mr.. Bryan.
There is also a rabbits foot attached to
a postal card and accompanied by a
long string of alleged poetry.

Is. Beyond this limit tickets will be
sold today and Friday. with return

every hour. Managers of 25 different
bands have been heard from, all of

ton.

SEWALL WELCOMED HOME.
There was Great Joy in Bath Over
His Arrival

Bath Me, July 16.-Arthur SewaH,
candidate for vice president, had his
home coming last night and is was
of the warmest sort The formal wei
come was entirely non partisan AS
the special train bearing Mr. SeWau
came into the city at 7:15 fire works
were prOfusely burned, the church and
CITY bells rung and a national salute
was fired by big guns.
Thousands of people at the depot
were provided with horns and the vocal
welcome made din greater than ever
heard here before. Mr.. SeWau was met
a the depot platform by F H. TWitch
ell, president of the city council. May
or Bibber, having been unexpectedly
called away.
In responding to a short welcoming
address, Mr.. SewaH said:
1T is not fitting and you do not ex-
pect me at this time to make a long
speech. We have had a convention
and it is of that I would speak to
to you. 1t was a great convention, yet
it did not seem to me to be a partisan
one. It seemed like the uprising of the
people and they seemed to be controlI-
ed by one idea-an idea that has filled
me for years.
Those in attendance upon that con-
ventiou knew this country is in deep
distress; that it has been in distress for
years and that great multitudes are
suffering. believe the great trouble Is
with our monetary system. and they
believe as I believe. that there is but
one remedy The members of the con-
ventiOn entertain no dishonest or dis
honorable ideas, but they demand that
we be carried back to the money Of our
fathers, to that monetary system IN
der which this government hourished
for SO many years.

HELD HER CHILD IN FIRE.
An Inhuman Mother Who Roasted
Her Baby is Hung.

Louisville, KY, July ia special to
the Courier Journal from Pikeville, Ky,
says: News reached here yesterday
from Coeburn, Va, to the effect that
Mary Snodgrass was hanged at that
place last Friday for the murder of her
child. The Snodgrass woman was
disreputabIe character and was COM
PEELED to leave this place on that ac-
count.
She went to Coeburn where her child
was cared for by Negroes until it was
about six months ld,when it was turn
ed over to it's mother. She did not
want it and tried to get rid of the
child in various ways. The county
judge told her that she would have to
provide for it and she took it to her
home. One night about midnight some
people living close by heard the little
one screaming. Black smoke was seen
issuing from the chimney and the door
was burst in to ascertain the trouble.
The child had been placed in the fire
and the mother was holding it in place
in the flames with a long iron poker.
It was burned almost to ashes. The
inhuman mother was arrested and
placed in jail. The Infatuated people
wanted to lynch her but the promise
of speedy justice caused them to allow
the law to take its course.

WORDS OF PRAISE.
FROM ONE WHO HAS BEEN
CURED.
Prof. SamueIs' Reputation Goes On,
Constantly Gaining in Favor
as 1t Goes.

There is one happy woman in Topeka
who has something more interesting TO
talk about than politics and she is Mrs
D. A. Sipes of 123 Quincy street AR
Sipes is employed at the Topeka Plan
Ing mills and has . comfortable home
and a happy little family. But like
many other families they have suffered
misfortune But the cause for their
sorrow has been removed, and that by
Prof. Samuels.
For the last four years Mrs. Sipes
was what might be termed an invalid
The disease was that one which is SO
hard to understand and harder to cure
namely, nervousness She did as every
other sick woman does, she tried to
cure it by taking physic She tried it
not only once, but many times and from
many doctors. But she was rot cured:
she was not even benefited. The only
effect the medicine had was 10 make
her so sick at the stomach that she
could eat nothing. Her symptoms were
those characteristic of all extreme nerv-
Gus cases-Weakness and cold feet and
hands. To the reporter she said it was
impossible to warm her feet and limbs.
even by the constant use of hot appli-
cants.
Six weeks ago she called in Prof.
SamueIs-Ehe had to call him because
she could not go to his office When ne
arrived she was in bed, her feet and
hands cold. her face shrunken and al
most cOlOrIesS.
To a Topeka reporter she said the
first application Of the medicine IN her
eyes did her more good than anything
she had before taken, and at the end Of
the first day she felt almost like an
other person. At first the applications
were made every hour, but now they
have been reduced to three times a day
and will soon be entirely abandoned.
When the reporter called about 10
o'clock in the morning Mrs. Sipes had
finished her weeks washing and was
just done scrubbinR the kitchen. Sine
said, besides recovering her natural
color and gaining several pounds Of
flesh during the last six weeks, she he'd
also regained her usual strength and
now did all her work without an effort.
She thought Prof. SamueIs the greatest
man of the age.
Prof. Samuels cures all nervous dis
orders entirely through the eyes and
is located at sos Kansas avenue, over
the Hub Clothing store.

house at which Detective Zeller was
visiting. Zeller yelled at him: '"That
Will cost you just S."
20, guess not replied the doctor.
It was ont of the question for the de-
tective to pursue the physician, for the
latter was almost scOrching on the side
walk. When Zeller got to the police
station he te1ephOned to the doctors
house.
Hello" said zeller, "Is DR.. Powell
there? I would like to speak with him
Hello, is that you, doctor?. This is
Zeller at the city prison. Your trial
will take place tomorrow morning at
$50. Why, for riding your bicycle on
the Sidewalks
Complaint has been made, say the
authorities, that the doctor is in thet
habit of using the sidewalk on Clay
street for bicycle roadway. and an
officer has been watching for him for
some time, but Zeller just happened to
be out there.
DR.. Powell was arrested last year for
riding his bicycle on the sidewalks.
This afternoon the case will be heard.

demption of treasury notes has become

Their reduced by redemption during the
current month, the coinage of silver
dollars by the mint will be increased
from one and One-ha1f million dollars
to three million dollars per month
from the first of August and will prob
ably be continued at that rate in order
that the treasury may have sufficient

WAVE FLAGS AT BRYAN.
People Come to Greet Him on His
Journey to St. Louis.


st. Louis, July 16.-It was scarcely
sun up today when VIM. J. Bryan, the
Democratic presidential nominee, ac-
cOmp2nied by his wife and three chill
dren, left Salem, Ill, for Lincoln, Neb,
Mr.. Bryan's present home. There were
less than a score of people at the depot
to bid the distinguished party good
bye. At each of the stations where
and shook hands with the citizens who
had come to catch a glimpse of the
free silver candidate.
Mr. Bryan made no speeches. The
number of people at the stations varied
in number from half dozen to three
score, and at several places flags were
brought out and waved in his honor.
There was an exception at East St
Louis, however, for when the train
stopped there about O'Clock there were
about 200 railway employees on the plat
form, who shouted and scrambled to
get near him. Each one seemed deter
mined to shake the hand of the nom
inee. Then there were cries for a
speech. In response he said:
People have a curiosity to see the
nominee for the presidency and shake
myself and crowded around a train to
shake hands with a presidential norni-
nee, even if I did not vote for him. I
don't know whether here it is Curl
osity or not. You can't tell much
about man by looking at him. I
think it is far better to take the plat
form and study il and decide whether
you like it, and can say to you that
Mr.. SewaIl and myself stand on the
platform and if we are elected we viii
carry it out to the letter.
1t presents politics which are and
will be good for the masses OF people.
We believe when prosperity is brought
to the producing masses of this coun-
try it will find its way to the other
classes. There is no legislation which
IS good if it does not reach the masses.
Prince Bismarck in a speech made to
the farmers a little over a year ago
said that the farmers must stand to-
gether and protect themselves from the
drones of society, which produce moth
ing but laws. The producers of the
country are just as much entitled to
the fruits of industry and to consider
alton as those who consume the things
produced"
The train stopped three minutes and
Mr.. Bryan's speech was necessarily
short. There was loud cheering and
waving of hats when he finished and
the train pulled out for St. Louis

A FRIGHTENED JANITOR.
Thought Attempt was Being Made to
Rob the Central National

Last night at a little after 10 o'clock
Janitor Robert Hitchcock of the Cen
trail National bank ran out into the
street at Kansas avenue and Seventh
street and raped on a telegraph pole
for a policeman. He declared that
there had been an attempt made to
break into the bank, and that the two
men had escaped into the alley
The police made an Investigation and
found three small marks on the back
door of the bank room which looked
as if they had been made with a nail
or scissors.
President P. I. Bonebrake of the Cen
trail National bank said today:
No bank burglar tried to get in here
last night. Maybe it was some tramps
who were trying to get into steal some
thing off the counters. Some times we
leave stamps and small change in the
drawers. 1t was more of a scare than
anything else"
Cashier Edwin Knowles said: mo
one tried to get in here at all last night.
You (tO the janitor) got scared, that
was all I want to tell you that if it
had been a burglar he would have had
a Jimmy and with one turn he could
have opened the door. No, there
wasn't any attempt to rob the bank
last night"
Detective Zel1er, who made an inves-
al the idea OF calling it an attempt at
bank robbery. You can say that no
bank burglar tried to get in there last
night" said he to the reporter. THE
marks on the door weren't made by any
one who knew how to get into it. 1t
would have taken him two hours to
have gotten into the room
