For the Love of Ills Dog.

A bloody tragedy came near TAX
ING place at the Ksytssvills depot
last Sunday afternoon, growing out
OF the alleged shooting of Prof. John
Krigbaun's dog.by John Redd. f.,
OF Salisbury, no Keytssvills station
few weeks ago.
Prot. Krigbsum is Ksytssvills's
weIl-known weather prophet, and hs
says that Rsdd shot bis dog enc
night while the canine was on his
{ (Krigbsum's) front porch and that
ths shooting OF the deg WAS entirely
unprovoked-in fact, Was q place Of
pusilanimity.
No arrest followed, but IL is said
that Prof. Krigbaum made N at
tempt to have Rsdd indicted at the
sitting OF the grand Jury at the jan
uary term OF circuit court at Sails
bury last week, but failed, and hs
evidently determined to take the law
10 his own hands and meet out sum-
mary vsngsancs to Rsdd on sight 40
the following shows:
Last sunday afternoon Rsdd came
over to Ksytssville on the passen-
ger train, and had no sooner stepped
OF onto the depot platform than
Prof. Krigbaum saw him. and be ap-
preached Redd and kicked him, and
when Redd struck back at the pro-
lessor, "krig" slashsd at the would-
be slayer OF bis beloved dog with
poeket-knife and cut . hole in Redd's
Sunday vest, but the knife blade did
not reach the skin.
Rsdd stepped lack q step or two.
drew a revolver and told the irate
professor to stand of. Thus the sx-
citing affrsy ended, and our local
undertakers are still out OF job.

PRESS COMMENT.
senator ThurstOn's Libel.

Whatever doubts may have been en-
tertained hitherto with regard to William
j. Bryan's relations to the bonanza silver
mine owners with respect to the charge
made by Senator Thurston or someone
else that the Democratic candidate had
been on the pay roll of producers of sill
YER bullion, they are effectually refuted
by the emphatic and unequivocal denial
made public by Mr.. Bryan last night. 1t
would be impossible to present the mat
ter in palmer phrase, and, as no one will
think of questioning Mr.. Bryan's veracity,
it may be said that the subject is disposed
of as completely as if it never had a place
in the records of the campaign. No
doubt some of the friends of Mr.. Bryan
will insist that Senator Thurston owes
the public an apology for the part he
took in the affair. But those who do are
more Jealous than wise. What he owes
the public on this question is silence.
Nothing has been gained by springing
the story on the canvass, and nothing can
be gained by the further discussion of it.
Therefore, let it be dropped out of mind,
ont of sight, and be forgotten Kansas

THE RIGHT TO BOLT uNoues1IoNEo.

The handful of goldbug Democrats,
who are attempting to organize McKin-
ley side-show at indianapolis, have issued
formidable address to the country, in
which they solemnly profess that their
unutterable affection for the Democratic
party prompts them to bolt the platform
and candidates of an overwhelming ma
jority of the party in order to rescue the
grand old organization from destruction.
The right and duty of every American
citizen to bolt his party when it adopts
policies that he honestly believes would
be injurious to the country are unques-
toned. Political parties are not such
sacred, Interchangeable, infalllble institu-
tions that they have right to command
