An Interesting Suit.

A suit, brought by Thos. E. Mackay
against J. ]. Dowell and B. G.. Willett,
elected considerable attention and in
terest in Squire H. A. Wheeler's court,
in Keytesville, last Monday.
The plaintiff brought suit against the
defendants to recover the payment of a
note for $I75 and interest, amounting,
in all, to S2oS. The case was first
tried on Wednesday, May 9TH, but at
that time resulted in hung jury. On
last Monday, however, the jury return
ed a verdict for plaintiff for the full
amount of note and interest-S2oS.
1t seems that the original note was
given by Mr.. Dowell to w. B. Oldham,
and was made payable one day after
date. In a few days Mr.. Oldham de-
manded his money, which he succeed
ed in obtaining from Senator Mackay
by B. 6. Willett's signing the note
Dowell gave to Oldham.
There was a clear understanding
that Mr.. Willett was to assume pay
ment Of the note, as he owed Dowell a
sufficient amount to pay it, but he has
never paid any of the principal, and
The interest is now in arrears for nearly
two years.

TeHer's Attitude.

In view of the conflicting reports
concerning his attitude, Senator Tel
Ter, of Colorado, sent the following
telegram to be read to the Republican
state convention, held ut Pueblo:
Hon. Irving Howbert, Colorado
Springs, Colo: wish to say to the
state convention through you that l do
not desire to go to the national con-
ventioa and cannot go unless the
state convention is in accord with my
ideas in declaring that in the coming
the silver question is the
issue. The state conven-
ton should act with the full knowl-
edge that | do not intend to support 4
on gold-standard platform.
or on platform Of doubtful construc-
tion. If this course puts me out of
with the Republican senti-
ment Of the state, as portion of the
Republican pressure alleges it will, !
Will accept that result with all its logi-
al consequences in preference to an
abandonment of principle and stultifi-
cation of my record, made, as / con-
,eive, under the instructions of every
state convention held in
Colorado during the last IL years.

as given to Oldham by DowelI had
been changed by the addition of

Bryan,s Open Letter 70 Carlisle.

In an open letter Hon. w. ]. Bryan,
OF Nebraska, calls upon Mr.. Carlisle
to answer his own arguments, made in
1878, against the demonetization of
silver. The letter is as follows:
Omaha, Neb., May 7, 1So6.-Hon.
John q. Carlisle, secretary of the
Treasury: Dear Sir:-You have cbang.
ed your position upon the paramount
public issue and are now defending a
financial policy which you once de.
nounced. The advocates of free and
unlimited coinage at 16 to 1 admit
your right to change your opinion. but
contend that you owe it to the public
to answer the arguments which YOU
yourself made in 1873 before attempt
ing to answer the arguments of others.
You then accused John Sherman.
who was secretary of the treasury at
the time, of being in sympathy with
the capltalistic classes and hostile to
the struggling masses. Do YOU now
Delleve that your accusation was true2
Ii your accusation against him was
then true, how did you and he sue
ceed in getting together? Whose
sympathles underwent change, yours
or hiss If you did him Injustice at
that time, when did you make the dis
covery, and have you ever apologized
to HIM publicly or privatelya Do you
sui believe that, on the money ques-
ton, the interests of the idle holders
Of idle capital' are antagonistic to the
interests of the struggling masses7"
In 1878 you denounced the con-
spiracy to destroy silver as a gigantic
crime" Did you ever withdraw that
language before entering the cabinet2
You then said that "the consumma-
hon OF the scheme would ultimately
entail more misery upon the human
race than all wars, pestilences and
famlnes that ever occurred in the his
tory OF the world" Do you now think
the free coinage of silver could do any
more damage than that? Your rec
ord challenges you to joint debate.
VIII you accept2 Are you willing to
take up your speech of 1873 and an
swer 1t, one proposition at times If
you are, you will silence those who
doubt your sincerity and question your
motives. If you are not willing to
face your own arguments and over
come them, you cannot complain if
your opponents adopt the philosophy
d Shakespeare, and attribute your
'owardice to guilty conscience.
Yours Truly,
w. ]. BRYAN.
