Fort Scott Inkcr--A sworn Enemy.

FoRr ScoTT, Kan, Jan. l3.-Quill
Burger, formerly a baker Of this place
was yesterday found dead in u cave
in the west part Of town. Hes throat
was cut from ear to ear. There were
M signs of Il struggle, nor could any
evidence he found to indicate that he
had been killed at that spot. The
body was in "A sitting position, leaning
against the wall of the cave. and the
man had evidently been dead twenty
four hours. No weapon could he
found to indicate suicide.
Two days ago Burger, who had Just
returned to the city. after u long alb
sencc, went to Sheriff Allen and asked
protection from Il man whose name he
gave M DIR. Munyard OF Eureka, Utah.
lie said that he had been Running "a
bakery at Eureka, and that the doctor
had sworn TO kill him, for which rea-
son ne fled. Upon arriving here he
had discovered that the doctor had
followed him and was lying in wait to
Kill him. Burger was questioned
closely by the officer, but would not
tell tho nature of the trouble that
caused his fear. The sheriff thought
that lie was intoxicated and turned
him away with the assurance that no.
body would harm him.
Officers are trying to unravel the
mystery, but so far no important clues
have been found.

UP WITH old GLORY.
The National Flag to be Displayed Next
Saturday.
Circular Letter Sent Out by the Re-
publican National Com
mitttee.

The following circular letter has been
received by local committeeman:
Republican National Committee, Chi
cago Headquarters, Oct. 20, 1896.
To Republican State and County
Chairmen and Local Committeeman:
The following has been issued by the
Republican National Committee: "The
American flag has been in the present
campaign the emblem or insignia Of ma
tional honor It's influence has been for
great good in the cause of a good peo-
pie. Its display in many places has
been potent in the advancement of the
country's battle for the maintenance of
its honor at home and abroad. 1t is,
therefore, suggested that ON Saturday,
October 31st, all who intend to vote on
November Sd for the preservation of our
national honor, for sound money, and
the advancement of our peoples inter-
ests and general prosperity display the
national colorS at their homes, their
places of business, or wherever they
may be seen, in order that the voters
whose hearts are for their country may
be strengthened in their purpose and
those who are undetermined may the
more patriotically and intelligently con-
clude how best to perform their duties
as citizens
The National Committee further sug-
gests that State, County and City Com
mittees and clubs supporting sound
money and the Nations integrity en-
courage the display Of the national flag
on the last Saturday in the campaign
in every part of the country, especially
at the residences of those in favor of
good money and good government, and
have flags and bunting on sale at con-
venient places for farmers and others
who live in localities remote from trade
points, and that the display of flags and
bunting be continued until after the
national election. NJ. a. HANNA,
Chairman.
A member Of the Army and Navy
League, Comrade Cannon, makes the
suggestion that when Republicans dis
play the stars and stripes on October
31st all display a yellow streamer under
the flag to Indicate preference for
sound money. This he thinks advisable
because the Bryan people have followed
| the lead Of the Republicans, and intend
to show the colors on the same day, so
that their weakness may not be ex-
posed. They will hardly adopt the yell
low streamer, and SO their forces can be
distinguished from those Of Mckinley.
We would suggest to Comrade Cannon
that the Republican party is not a gold
party, but the party Of true bimetal-
lism, and that therefore the streamer
should be yellow and white, as an en-
blem Of gold and silver. The Repub-
lican party stands for the use Of both
metals and every dollar worth 100 cents.
