by Austin and Arthur.

meeting of the five railway brother
hoods was attended by several thous-
and people.
A sensation was created when Grand
Secretary and Treasurer Austin of the

president, Eugene V. Debs.
He referred to President Debs as the
''self-eIected savior of labor and said
the A. R. U. was but the dream of an
enthusiast. He attacked the plan of
the organization and said ii was in
danger of losing control over itself on
account of its membership being COM

And Then He was Cheered-Called
Cleveland THAT Bag Of Beef"
Lebanon, Pa, Aug Ex-senator Till
man spoke at the Mount Gretna agri-
cultural. mechanical and Industrial ex-
position which closed here Saturday.
In introducing the speaker Vice Pres
ident J. A. Gundy referred to him as
that distinguished gentleman who has
given US an ideal temperance move
ment, which promises to be the only
true solution of this question:
Cheers greeted Mr.. Tillman when he
began to speak. He first mentioned
that this was the first address he ever
delivered in Pennsylvania. He knew
he was in a country supposed to be
favorable to gold, but he came pre-
pared to speak to sinners.
Republicans, he asked, ''are you
followers Of Lincoln, and the grand
men who organized the party, or are
you followers of bOOdlers and thieves?
This financial question has been up
before this. Jackson vetoed the ma
tlOnaI bank bill, but the only things
that bag of beef in Washington ever
vetoed were bills to pension veterans
and minor bills. Is the country for
sale? The chamber of commerce has
notified Hanna that they are all with
him without regard to party. This
means that there will be an unlimited
campaign fund. We claim to be Dem
else We are nearer the Republicans
of the stripe of Lincoln than Mckinley
or Hobart. If Lincoln were here now
he would be with US on our platform"
This assertion did not please the SEN
ator's audience, as was shown by cries
of No! no." and loud, long Kisses.
You may hiss and say no. When
Lincoln wanted freedom for the slaves
we southern shareholders called him an
anarchist, the same as you call US but
we did not stop him. (Cheers) I have
as much respect for Mckinley as can
have for any man who is so much off
so benighted lost in the wilderness of
ignorance. Contrast Mckinley and
Lincoln. Was LincoIn's mouth ever

tions Postpone Their Quarrel.

The factions in the Populist party
have agreed to bury the Ratchet during
the campaign. The Lewelling crowd
did not stop their fight on Breidenthal
at the convention, but came to Topeka
and appeared before the committee and
were turned down. They then went
home vowing vengeance under their
breaths, but after they have cooled
off and found that there is q
chance to have Lewelling run for state
senator, with a contingent possibility
that he can get into the race for United
States senator in case he is elected,
they have come back into the camp.
w. J. Costigan lampooned the state
central committee in his paper last
week and gave them a parting round.
After telling what a mean lot they are
he concludes: In order not to en-
danger the election. the just war that
should be made upon traitOrOus head

MRS. HUMPHREY FOUND.
Remains Discovered in a Cornfeld
Partially Devoured by Hogs.

EmporiaAug 24-The disappearance
Of Mrs. jeanette Humphrey was &C
counted for Saturday evening by the
finding of her remains in a cornfieId
about six miles northeast of town. The
remains We're still warm and it was
evident that she had not been dead
over an hour.
The horrible part of the find was the
fact that hogs had partially devoured
the body. and it was evident from the
appearance of the ground that the ami
mails had found and attacked her be-
fore life was extinct, but when too fee
BILE to protect herself from their greedy
attacks. She was IS years of age, and
although when last seen was physically
strong, had been for some time quite
childish.

JACK THE cow KILLER.
Is Killing Animals in the Western
Part of Town With Sharp Sticks.

Part of Town With Sharp Sticks
Jack the COW killer is in Topeka. He
has been plying his trade in the west
ern part of the city until the residents
there are up in arms about it. Three
cows have been killed by him and one
animal is expected to die as a result of
his fiendish acts. A good horse was
killed by him, it is supposed.
He accomplishes his acts by thrust
ing sharp sticks into the cows, and in a
few days they die as a result of hav-
ing had their entrails punctured. The
police have been called to aid in appre-
hending the fend, but so far only
slight evidence has been secured as to
who the man is.
D. F. Hassord of 1888 Clay street
found that his COW had been dealt with
in this manner yesterday, and the ami
nal will probably die. A few days
ago a COW belonging to J. s Brasher Of
1924 Buchanan street was killed in this
way. A COW owned by a .coIored man
in TennesSeetoWn died a short time ago
from the same causes. The horse which
died was examined by a veterinary sur
geon, and it was found that sharp
sticks had been thrust into it and it
had died in a short time from the eff
fects.
The police have a clue on which they
are working and Jack the COW killer
may be captured He is either a person
with a mania for this OutlandiSh prac-
tice or some one with a spite at the
owners of the cows. SO far all the
killing has been done in the vicinity OF
Tenth and Buchanan streets. The res
idents of that part of the city are
