the Injunction is only temporary and after

Major Shockley Breaks a Cane Over
Henry Shindler's Head

Leavenworth, Nov. 14-Major w. B.
Shockley, treasurer of the Soldiers
home, last night broke a heavy walk
ing stick over the neck of Shindler
agent Of the Kansas City Times
Shlnd1er was standing at the clerks
desk in the National hotel when Major
ShOckley entered the door Shindler
evidently expected something and made
a move as if to leave. Major Shock
ley, however, advanced quickly and
saying, wait, you Matchmaking cur, -
threw all of the force he had into a
well directed blow with the cane and
struck Shindler across the back and
neck, for a moment staggering him and
raising a large welt.
Before he could recover the major re
peated the blow, with the result that
the stick was broken in two, the pieces
flying in the air.
Shindler then threw Major Shockley
to the floor, when the bystanders in
terfered.
In speaking about the trouble Major
ShOclSley said; For years this cor
respondent has been attacking and vii
lifying me. I never did him an in
jury in my life, but have quietly sub
mitted to his assaults. I did not know
he was in the hotel when I entered,
but on seeing him concluded would
give him a chance to fight. I have the
use of only. one arm, but am satisfied
with the results of the encounter

A STATE SILVER LEAGUE.
To be Organized at Topeka on Janua-
~ IL.

D. G. TillOtson, who now signs him
self State Organizer of Free Silver
clubs" has issued a. call for a state
meeting OF the silver forces in Topeka
January r. which is the day following
the inaugura alton Of the new state Off
GERS
The intention is to form a state silver
league and Mr.. TillOtsOn hopes to make
the organization both large and power
full He says that it viii be an Organi-
cation of league clubs and will be for
the purpose of giving the clubs a center
from which to work.
MANY clubs are already being organ
led said Mr.. TillOtsOn today, t-and
more Will be started. They viii be or
gained everywhere in the state to pre-
pare for the battle in the future. Moth
ing will be left undone to make it a
success.
I'VE propose to show our Republican
friends what an organization we can
make when we set our minds to do
something. We hope to have every To-
cality in the state represented.
Following is the official call for the
state meeting issued today by Mr.. Til
lOtsOn:
To the Free Silver Clubs of Kansas:
The leader Of the gold standard forces
has modeStly admitted that he Won the
national contest with one hand on God
and the other on Mckinley" and has
served notice upon the friends Of silver
that they must expect a. war Of EXTERN
inatiOn. We must accept the challenge
and in accepting. remem Der that we are
invincible in this state when united,
and that our people represent too high
an order of intelligence to merely vote
their likes or dislikes of Arkansas or
Iowa
/ desire to call your attention to the
fact that the silver sentiment proved
strongest on Novem Der Sd, in the west
and south where the money question
had been most thoroughly discussed in
recent years. An equally thorough dis
cussiOn in all states west of the Ale
ghenies ought to bring to US that whole
region.
For the purpose of assisting in uni
ting the friends of silver and in ex-
tending this discussion, the free silver
clubs of Kansas are invited to send dele
gates to meet at Topeka at 10 a. m. on
January r. 1897, in Hamilton hall, to
form a permanent organization of silver
clubs
It is recommended that each free sill
yer club send one delegate and one ad-
ditional delegate for each one hundred
members or major fraction thereof.
Free silver papers throughout the
state are requested to copy this call.
D. @. TILLOTSON,
State Organizer of Free Silver Clubs.

THEY ASK HANNA.
Hundreds Request Him for Office and
Favors.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 1T have had
all the glory I want out of this cam
paign and I am satisfied, said Mark
Hanna today while he was busily en-
gagged in going through an enormous
accumulation of correspondence.
The remark was called forth by a let
ter which the national chairman found
in his mail, and the writer of which, af-
man for the secretaryship of the treas
ury, said:
If you find the duties of the position
too arduous for you. call on me and
will come and help you"
Here continued Mr.. Hanna, sis an
other man whose request I can easily
grant. He says: Don't appoint any
person to this position until you see me.
Nearly every letter get now-a- days
is either a request for an appointment
or a contribution of some sort It's alb
surd, though, to make the formal re-
quests of me, and I just told a man that
L was no patronage broker
Concerning the national Republican
headquarters, Mr. Hanna said:
1.-The Chicago headquarters will be
closed early next week and Mai. Dick
viii come back here. The New York
headquarters will probably be kept
open until we decide abOut the perma-
nent national headquarters.
Where viii they be located? % he was
asked
Il am in favor of Washington myself
Everything will be centered there, but
Wherever they are you can depend upon
II that active work viii be kept up.

Talked Against Boarding House.

J. D. Wallace, a. Santa Fe shOpnan
who keeps a boarding house at First
and Madison streets, met Oscar John
son, who is also employed in the shops,
and who used to board at Wallace's
place, and after a wordy combat in
which he demanded that Johnson apol-
ogize for some remarks he had made
about his house, knocked Johnson
down. Johnson ran away as soon as
possible and started toward the city
attorneys office Wallace went i'm
mediately to police headquarters, where
he stated his case johnson owed me
for some meal tickets" said Wallace,
and I happened to meet him out in
front of my house and asked him for
the money. Then 1 asked him to
apologize for some bad things he had
said about my house, and he hesitated.
Then I went for him. He is a great
big fellow, but didn't care for that.
This is the first time I ever had a fight,
but I couldn't stand to have a man
talking about my house" To Jailer
Hopkins: If you get a warrant for
me, you can know where to find me
You all know me. I wouldn't run

Today's Range OF Prices-
N. 2. Stock Letter.

New York, Nov. Il.
The stock market stil seems to be en-
gagged in the process of digesting and as
sirnilating the unqueStiOnably large
amount of securities, which have been
sold by persons who acquired them at low
prices proceeding national election. Such
a process is inevitably attended by re-
actions. Large part of buying Of stocks
and bonds since election has been Tor
legitimate investors Securities to i'm
portant amount been taken from the
street outright or have been purchased on
such substantial margins as to secure
again temporary speculative results. Cash
holdings by the clearing house institu-
tions will not in itself convince people
that the stock market has turned for the
better. All of the stories circulated TO
assist the raid on prices yesterday have
been officially or semi-offcially exploded
A most encouraging feature OF the situa-
ton is the sustained activity and contiu-
ued stability and advancing tendency il
the market for railway bonds The best
basis for a rise in stocks is always bot
toned up Of a good Investment demand
for bonds.
