KANSAS IS
REDEEMED

KANSAS may well BE proud Of the result of
the election so far as she is concerned.
We have elected our entire state ticket, and
have secured, without a doubt six congress
men, including J. d. Botkin, congressman-at-
large We also have all but of the appel
late court judges. We have both houses of the
legislature by big majority.
Kansas stood b, tlat glorious young leader,
Vim. J. BRYAN, and did all she could to place
him in the White House The counting ma
chine was against us, however, and, though we
believe he was fairly elected, he was counted
out
The silver forces are not the least disconcert
ed, however, but this defeat will only solidify
the ranks, and we will be better prepared in
1900 to defeat the most dalnnaby corrupt gang
of thieves and pirates that ever cursed a nation.
The gold forces poured out money like wa
ter. Coercion, intimidation and Doodle were
the forces used to defeat the will of the people.
Had there been fair election, each voter al
lowed to vote according to his conviction, VIM.
J. Bryan would have occupied the White House
after next March.
The gohl-bugs now have the reins, and four
years more OF the gold policy will teach the
people a lesson they will not soon forget. In
four years, or much less time, the poor fellows
who have been yelling themselves hoarse for
''sound money will be clamoring to force a
change in the interest of the masses.
I.Ur mp, boys, and prepare for 1900!

Why the school Question Must be Take
to the Polls.
The Union in announcing the can
didacy of c. B. Marshall and X. A..
donaldson for members Of the board
of education does not take kindly to
the anti-Ament issue being the basis
Of their coming before the people,
andinsists that this is a ma; ter which
should be settled before the board.
The Union should not be unreasona-
BILE in all things. The present board
has passed upon the Ament question
by showing its attachment to him,
and one of the members has reported
having investigated the charges
against the superintendent and found
them either the result Of misappre-
hension of or deliberate falsehoods.
Fifty of the teachers in the schools
declare that the charges are well
founded and that it is to the best in
terests of the schools to have a
change in the SUPPLEMENTARY.
The only alternative is for the peo-
pie to pass judgment and decide as
to whether Mr.. Ament is to be re-
tanned or not.

MRS. BLACKS SUIT.
Divorce the Climax to a Ro-
mantle Marriage.
PAIR OF YOUNG LOVERS ELoPE.

Wed In Wisconsin and Ere . Year Passes
They Separate and Now the Wife Prays
That Their Relations DO sevsred-N rs.
raliaferro and Others Beg n Proceedings.
The climax to TO manic marriage
OF five years ago. is the application
for divorce made to the circuit court
by Virma Block.
Miss Virna Snyder was one of
Moline's bellies. Her ia, her was pro-
prietor of the Keator house. Waiter
Black was employed there as clerk. A
love match sPrung up between
the proprietor's attractive daugh-
ter and the clerk. The father
became aware Of the attachment and
entered strenuous objection. This
blocked the young couples plans for
a home marriage. So different ar
rangentments were made. One
morning in February of 1891 Walter
Black boarded the Milwaukee train at
Rock Island. At Moline another
passenger boarded the train in tn.
person Of Virma Snyder, who repre-
sented to her father that she was
going on a visit. But that day there
was marriage at GAINESVILLE, Wis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Black afterward re-
turned to.Moline and were reconciled
to the girls father.
Mrs. Black now declares in her ap-
plication for divorce that they lived
together until March 2, 1892, when
she claims her husband deserted her
without any reasonable cause. They
have one child, Alan, the custody OF
which the wife desires. Mrs. Black
also asks for alimony. MIR. Black is
well known here. having clerked at
the Rock Island house in 1892. He
is the son of Francis Black, one of
Hampton's wealthy and influential
tOwnSmen.
Jessie Taliaferro (nee Sinnet) SAYS
she was united in marriage to Ralph
E. Taliaferro in Rock Island in Octo.
Der of 1887. They lived happily to-
gether for five years. In January of
1892. the complainant further AYERS,
her husband willfully and without
any provocation deserted her and
child. Francis S. Taliaferro, born in
1890. Mrs. Taliaferro also asks for
the custody of their child and ali
mony.
Nina Dowar asks a divorce from
her husband, John Dowar, to whom
she was married in January of las,
year. on the grounds of abandon
ment. They have a child, Leroy
Calvin. born in October of last year.
the custody of which she seeks.
One more story of domestic un-
pleasantness. Robert B. Taylor is
the complainant. He is one of Buff
falo Prairie townships we'll known
farmers. After 26 years sailing on
the matrimonial sea he seeks to have
his relations with Rebecca A. Taylor
severed. He began proceedings in
the circuit court yesterday. Mrs.
Taylor was given decree at the JAN
uary term of court on her petition
for separate maintenance. It is de-
clared by the husband that she de-
serted him in March of 1894 and
since has persisted in absenting her
self from their home. Mr.. Taylor
therefore prays that his wife be ex-
cluded from any right of dover in
his property. He also asks the Gus
tody of their daughter, Mamie.

reported Captured in Lee County. Matter
Being Kept Quiet.
From the Albany Herald.
The report reached ALBANY Yesterday
that Lum Warren, the notorious Ran
dolph county criminal, had been arrested
IN the Chokee district of Lee county. and
the Herald is inclined to believe it.
On Monday it was learned that Lum
warren had been at negro house on
Mr. Phll Cooks plantation on last Fri
Gay night. This information came
sGralght and from one who knew Lum
warren and had seen him and talked
WIN him. The clue was given to par
Ties who at once set to work to catch tie
negro, and on Tuesday it was learned
mat they had him located. Those who
haVe him will naturally want to keep
MIN out of the way of the mob, which is
inevitable if he is taken back to Randolph
county, and will probably make their
way with him to some safe place where
ne can be held with safety until identi-
ned and the rewards that have been of
fered are paid.
From information which the Herald
has had for several days it is satisfied
that Lum Warren has been in Lee coun-
W quite recently, and that men who
know him were on his trail. We are.
therefore, prepared to believe that he
mas been arrested as reported yesterday.
although we have no positive informa
ton as to the arrest.
