BOYLE'S KILLING.
Defended His Sister When He was
but Is Years Old.

Fort Scott, Aug. S.-The attack made
by s. M Scott on L. c. Boyle of this
city, candidate for attorney general on
the Populist ticket, during the conven-
ton at Abilene, aroused cOnsidera BILE
interest here; Scott made the statement
that the committee would be forced to
take him off the ticket before the close
of the campaign. Scott alluded to an
unfortunate affair in BoyIe's history.
BOyle's friends say the story can cas-
lily be explained and that Boyle will not
suffer. 1t is told by his friends that
Boyle, when he was 13 years old, killed
his brother-in-law. He found him
whipping his sister and went to her res
cue. His brOther-in-Iaw attempted to
shoot, but Boyle secured his weapon
at the same moment and shot first. The
tragedy happened in Colorado and
Governor Tabor, hearing the story of
the affair." hired attorneys to defend
Boyle, although he was not acquainted
with him. The jury acquitted Boyle
without leaving the box.
This is all that can be learned of the
story, but that it is a, fair statement is
confirmed by Boyle's life in Fort Scott
where he has been practicing law ten
or twelve years and for one or more
terms served as county attorney. He
is a young man of refinement and Of
superior education, having graduated
at Ann ArbOr and is a successful law
yer. He is married and has a family
of children and is highly respected in
the community.

JONES DENIES A STORY.
He and Gov. AltgeId are on the Best
of Terms.

Washington, Aug.S.-A dispatch from
Chicago announces that Gov. Altgeld,
for some cause or other, is dissatisfied
with Senator Jones of Arkansas, the
chairman of the Democratic national
committee The Chicago dispatch in
Inmates that Gov. AItgeld is organizing
a cabal of western national committee
men to compel Chairman Jones to re-
cede from certain positions he has ia
ken, and to, practically, abdicate his
office as COMMUNICATIVE chief of the
Democratic forces.
The Post says;
When shown the above dispatch Sen
ator Jones said:
Il have no knowledge of any fact up
on which such a statement could be
based. have not had a word or tele-
graphic or mail correspondence with
Gov. Altgeld since the Chicago conven-
ton 1 had never met the govern or
until we came together on the silver
committee at Chicago, and am frank to
say that my relations with him were
not only extremely pleasant, but they
gave me the opportunity of discover
ing that he was man of fine judgment
human feelings and much worth. When
we parted after the convention, I had
every reason to think that the favora-
bic impression which he had made up
on me was reciprocated. for he spoke
of me and to me in the warmest terms
of congratulatiOn. The story is simply
a campaign fabrication -

THE Republican party stands for hon
est money and the chance to earn it "
Beneath this is the famous quotation
from Abraham Lincoln: THAT some
may die rich. shows that others may be-
come rich, and hence is just encourage
ment to industry and enterprise. Let
no one that is homeless pull down the
house of another, but let him labor dill
igently and build one for himself; thus
by example, assuming that his own
shall be safe from violence when
built
In addition to the regular campaign

Vacation Time.

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties in
life have caused them to greatly run
down their system to meet the re-
quirements, physical and mental
forced upon them. With these and
others, it is important, whether at
home, at the seashore or in the coun-
try, that some thought be given to
diet, and as further assistance to Ma
ture, a good building-up medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be re-
sorted to. If the digestion is poor,
liver deranged and frequent headaches
seem to be the rule, Hoods will change
all this and enable everyone to return
to their home and business in a re-
freshed state of mind and bodily
health.
