by a negro boy named John johnson
in farmhouse four miles south of In
dependence Joe Cotton, his wife, her
brother and two sisters were killed,

four with an ak. The fend who COM

tive is a mystery, as no attempt at
robbery had been made. The only
member of the family who escaped
was little Maud Miller, II years old.

the alarm. She says she saw johnson
begin the butchery by striking her
mother with the ak. The murderer is
still at large and is being tracked with
bloodhounds by mob. He will prob
ably be lynched if caught.

INDEPENDENCE.
Judge Shewalter Defends the Popo-
crats-Abused Sound Money
DemOcFat0,

Judge ]. D. shewalter, Of Lexington. Mo-.
delivered an address in the upper room Of
the court house yesterday afternoon under
the auspices Of the Bryan-Sewan Club Of
this city. The court room was comfortably
well filled with voters Of all parties. ]. NJ.
Callahan was chairman Of the meeting,
and introduced Mr.. Shewalter to his audi
ence. The speaker at once plunged into a
defensive argument of the anarchistic
plank Of the Chicago platform. and de-
clared that Grover Cleveland had prosti-
tuted the strong arm Of the government in
suppressing the great Chicago riot. He
compared Eugene Debs with President
Cleveland, and held that while Debs was a
violater of the interstate commerce law,
Cleveland had trampled on the constitu-
ton, which he had sworn to uphold.
Judge Shewalter then launched into q
fatiguing eulogy about Governor Altgeld,
lauded him as patriot and referred to
him as a man whom money cannot buy,
no control. A discussion of the silver ques-
ton then followed. and the judge stated
that coinage ratio does not regulate COM
mercial ratios. Bankers. he said, were
looked upon by some as fnanciers; they
were close students Of per cent and secur-
tiles, and that was ALL
Judge Shewalter then descended from
his usual plane of talk to the vindictive,
and severely abused the gold Democrats,
comparisons. In conclusion the speaker
stopped over again in his analysis of cap
ital and labor, and declared that John d.
Rockefeller was a thief. even though he
should plaster every forty acre lot in the
country with a Baptist college.

Willing to BE Divorced.

At about o'clock yesterday afternoon
several young men and a young woman
came noisily into Sheriff O'NeilTs office in
the county court building, where they re-
mained some minutes. One of the youths
wore his lank. black, hair long, after the
manner of the actors pictured in comic
beaver hat. He was the manager of the
Standard Theatrical Company, OF which
those with him were members. 1t turned
out that one OF the company was George
Wood, who had come to the court house
purposely to have deputy sheriff serve
him with a copy Of divorce petition filed
by his wife. Bertha Wood. The party was
inclined to be quite merry and the man
ager with the tall hat had much to say
about beer. Mrs. Woods petition sets forth
that Wood. who looks to be about q years
old, married her in June, 1894. and deserted
her when she was sick, his whereabouts
being unknown.
Wood seemed rather i'll at ease and loi-
tered behind after the others had left the
room. He appeared to be anxious to see
the newspaper reporters. He said that he
lived in Kansas City, and then he added
referring to his wife: ST quit her because
We just couldn't get along at all. She was
always sayin' my family wasn't any good,
and want to tell you my folks are among
the best in Kansas City. I'm glad she
sued for divorce: She can't get one too
quick to suit me-"
Wood was arrested last night for insult
ing two women on Main street. in front Of
3. H. Williams grocery store. He was
locked up at police headquarters.

OWNERS OF PROPERTY ON NINTH

Do Not Want the Metropolitan Rail-
way to Abandon Ninth Stree. or
Make Any Change In Run
ming the Trains.

More than a score Of men who own prop
erty on Ninth street along the line Of the
Metropolitan street railway met at the
Coates House last evening to discuss the
efforts Of the company to secure fran
chise on Eighth street and take q part of
its equipment of the Ninth street line.
The men were all opposed to the proposed
change, holding that 1t was tie first step
in the virtual Abandonment Of the Ninth
street line from Grand avenue west, and
that 1t would do great damage to the in
vestments made on Ninth street on ths
Albert Marty was chairman Of the meeting
and H. 7. Wright secretary, and they will
be continued as the permanent officers.
The situation was freely discussed. and it
was decided to make q vigorous protest to
the aldermen of the city against the pass
age Of tho ordinance. and also to take legal
invoked to stop the efTort. The men
thought the company had plenty Of ways
to get around the incline II that was de-
sired by running ming down .Sas MSasnineson TO- .ro or

to allow the abandonment OF the Ninth

ity. The men had no desire to oppose any
change of motive power, but Thought they
had some rights in the matter when any
change of routes was to be considered.
They declared that the lines were operated
in San Francisco with longer and sleeper
grades than even the incline, and had ap-
pliances with which they had entirely pre-
vented accidents.
A number Of property owners along
Eighth street were present who are oppos-
ing the viaduct, and 1t was decided that
the people along both streets should unite
and make the fight together. The people
on Eighth street do not want the viaduct.
the people on Ninth street do not want to
lose the line, SO they can easily unite In the
