there has been no conferences on the
subject and consequently no plans have
been formulated, but fusion is in the
air. We will nominate our candidates
for state officers and telegraph the
Democrats the result. They will en-
dorse our nominees and we will endorse
theirs.
Ex- Congressman Jerry Simpson, OF
Kansas, who was present at the national
convention, is quoted as saying there
was nothing else to do and ex Congress
man jeff Hudson voiced the same
sentiments.
Today, under Topeka date, the Times
prints an interview with ex- United
States Senator John Martin, who
approves the plan as far as it goes; he,
however, would have conference com.
mittees appointed by Hutchinson and
Abilene conventions to arrange the
details.
Populist ex- Governor Lewellyn, OF
Kansas, in published interview, also
approves the plan of fusion. Senator
PETER, who was interviewed as he
passed through the city en- route from
the st. Louis convention, said:
1.-THE mass of the Populist party
wishes to see William j. Bryan the
next president and no matter what
differences of opinion may arise nothing
can prevent him from carrying every
Southern state. He will also carry
every Western state. He added
slowly. He will carry Kansas by

Arkansas at st. LOuis-Our Fruit
Display Will be One of the Big
Attractions.

From the Little Rock Democrat
Commissioner Vincenheller returned
last evening from two weeks trip to
Washington county, central Missouri
and st. Louis. He reports that the
crop prospects in Northern and North
western Arkansas are very fine. The
wheat and hay crops, both very fine,
were put up without the interference Of
rain. The corn has not suffered. There
is about one fourth of fruit crop, but
it is expected that more will be cleared
from it than would have been done had
the crop been full. During his absence
Mr.. Vincenheller visited central and
northern Missouri, and found that the
fruit crop there is exceedingly short,
and the little that withstood the un-
favorable climatic conditions, which
prevailed in the early part of the
season, has been falling badly the past
two weeks.
The Commissioner visited st. Louis
and inspected our space at the
exposition. Arkansas will have the
only agricultural and horticultural
exhibit at the regular autumn fair to be
held in that city, and it is being
advertised as one of the great
attractions The fair opens September
9th and continues forty days. The
space consists of 10, 600 square feet,
most admirably and conspicuously
located between the two art galleries
and Immediately fronting the music
hall. 1t is provided with the furniture
used by Missouri at the Chicago
exposition, which cost $1,000. Arkansas
fruit on fiat pine tables successfully
competed against this display in 1898,
and that it will be doubly attractive
when exhibited in sumptuous setting
goes without saying Commissioner
Vincenheller will begin in a short time
to ship fruit for cold storage, and he
expects to have a magnificent exhibit
collected by the opening of the
exposition.

DENNISON IN TOWN
And His Appearance is the Signal for .
Fresh Boom

Judge Dennison of Butler county was
in the city yesterday and the Populists
fiocked about him in a manner that in
dicated that his chaces for being elected
United States senator are mighty good.
1t is the rising star that attracts atten-
ton. 1t is the floating ship and not the
sinking ship that people like to cling to.
A chair near where the judge sat was
at a premium and when one was vacat-
ed it did not remain vacant very long.
When Judge Sankey of this city went
into the hotel looking for Mr.. Dennison
there was general look of surprise and
when he greeted Mr.. Dennision warmly
there was an indication of pleasure on
every face. Mr.. Sankey is really the
oracle of Populism in this county and be-
fore the attitude of the county is thor
oughly fixed the feeling of Mr.. Sanksy
must be thoroughly known. There has
always been a belief that Mr.. Sankey
was opposed to Mr.. Dennison. Nothing
IS farther from the trIt1. When a re-
porter for the Eagle put a question 10
Mr.. Sankey as to his choice for senator
ne said promptly Il am for Dennison. If
you want to know the reason why" he
said, II will tell you. l am for han
who lives in this part of the state. l am
for a man who knows there is such a
pf esident now who does not know even
that there is a state of Kansas and we
don't want a senator like him. With the
exception of Plumb we never had sen
ator west of Topeka. We have nothing
cut here at present, while the people Of
the eastern part of the stae have all the
Offices, all the public institutions and
all of everything. L am in favor or
southern and western Kansas getting
something and hence 1 think We ought
to have the senator. / like w. A Har-
ris very well and under ordinary clrcum-
stances would be for him, but 1 do not
think Il is right to have two United
States senators from one county.
Will Ayres was also booming Denni-
son very strong. 'I think he would be
second Preston B. Plumb if elected. He
is one of the plain people whose heart
throbs for the oppressed and squeezed
and crushed. / want a man who knows
what I want and what you want and
what ali our kind of people want and
who will have the nerve TO fight to Sc
cure for US those things which we want.
am for Dennison, but don't understand
me to say that / am against any other
candidate. Southern and western Kan
sas has elected 80 per cent Of the Popu-
lists in the house and senate and think
it is nothing more than right that they
should send a southwest man to the
senate instead of electing men whose 10
cality has but very little political claims
on Populism. 1 believe that the men
who won victory should select their
standard bearer from among the vic
tors
Judge Dennison said nothing about his
candidacy beyond the fact that he
thought his chances were very good.

Boy Said to Have Lost an Eye, But Proved
Elastic,

Yesterday afternoon by some means a
report became widely circulated that lit
tie Edgar Whitlock had lost an eye while
playing in a barn. The report was 10
the effect that he had fallen through a
hole in the floor of the barn loft by step
ping upon some loose hay which lay over
L and in falling a nail had struck him
in the eye and tore the ball from its
socket.
Hearing the story an Eagle reporter
went to the Whitlock block on South
Main street to satisfy himself as to the
authenticity of the report When inquiry
was made concerning it everyone evinced
surprise and interest, and the little fel-
low himself walked wonderingly around
from behind the table and used both his
blue eyes in looking al the reporter. His
eyes are uniljured. but he told story OF
some other boy who had been playing
with him in the barn and had hurt his
eye a very little. as ii was entirely well
last evening. Thus stories gorw among
individuals and the newspapers receive

The job was performed upon the safe
of Bryan Bros, the fruit dealers, and
was done Sunday night or Monday morn
ing. The affair has been kept exceed
ingly quiet until yesterday, the object
being to apprehend the perpetrators.
Strange enough it was not reported 70
police headquarters and Officer Harry
Sutton was the first to find it out, which
he did Wednesday. He and Bedford
Wood went straight to work upon the
case and now think they have the right
parties.
The outside door was forced open with
jimmy, a cold chisei was used upon
the knob to get it off,a hole was drilled
in the safe above the tumblers, and
charge Of some explosive used in the
hole The hole was not in the right
place, and did not touch the tumbler ana
hence the attempt was a failure.
In tnlS case as perfect Hfle VI CiiSuhi-
stantial evidence as anyone has been op-
tanned. In the possession of the prison
ers were found several tools used by
burglars. Their jimmy fits the marks
upon the door, the irregular edge OF the
cold chisel exactly fits the marks upon
the safe knob, and the other tools in
eacn case correspond with the marks up
on the safe. A box Of dates were dis
turbed and a handful of the dates 'Aken
out The officers even found this hand
full Of fruit in an clubhouse where it had
been thrown, after eating few Of them.
They were dropped down in this place
evidently to dispose of them, but the
bunch remained together and fit exactly
into the box from which they were re-
moved.
The robbers got nothing for their trou-
bic, only a few cents being within the
safe, and this they failed to obtain Of
ficer Lew Aspey stated when he had seen
the prisoners that he had seen one OF
them leaning against a telegraph pole

the man at first denied having any

admitted that ne was the man. Cher
