AN EXTRA SESSION.
Both Democrats and Republicans
Agreed on That Point.

There is one thing, says Il Washington
correspondent. upon which the leaders of
both political parties are settled and har-
monious, to-wit, that whichever ticket be
elected next November, Congress will be
called together in extra session so soon as
possible after the inauguration next
March. If Mckinley be elected he will
issue the call for the purpose of having
Congress provide more revenue. 1t is
probable that Congress will be asked to
pass an entirely new tariff bill, although
some deem it wiser to devote the extra
session TO passing merely bill to guard
against deficit. In view of the fact that
the free silver men will continue in power
In the Senate, it will hardly matter wketh-
er the extra session be called for an eX-
pediency bill or m entirely n.w measure.
Free silver men here say that their rep
resentatives in the Senate will follow the
same program which governed them in the
last session, and decline to let tariff meas
urs of any kind come to vote unless Il
free silver bill be attached. Should Bryan
be elected he will lose no time in calling
Congress together TO pass free silver
bill. In the event of his election Bryan
will feel that the people want free silver
and that there should be no delay in Civ
ing it to them. He beiieves confidently
that his election will mean 4 free silver
house, and should that prove true Bland
will be Speaker. Should the House not
be for free silver, Bryan will nevertheless
call an extra session. No result in the
shape of n free silver bill would come of
it, but Bryan would feel that he had done
his own duty to the people and that upon
Congress would rest the blame for not
dong that for which it was called.

only denies his guilt and insists his wife
and her grandmother died from natural
causes.
Paul was hardly placed safely behind
the bars before the proper officers COM
menced gathering evidence. The remains
of his wife had been laid to rest in cem-
etery in Webster County, only few miles
from her former home. This was done in
accordance with her expressed wishes in
life. The remains of Grandma" Dulin
were inferred in Hamilton County. Both
the bodies were exhumed. The stomachs
were sent to State Chemist Floyd Davis
at Des Moines for analysis. In few
days word came from Des Moines that
unmstakable signs of strychnine poison
ing had been found.
Miss Hartman, whom Paul married so
soon after the death of his wife and
"Grandma" Dulin, is scarcely IS years
of age. Her parents are respectable peo-
pie living on farm mile south of Ho-
mer. She has had many suitors for her
hand. but has refused them all. Her
parents say they thought her of 4 retiring
disposition, and in no way sought to in
fluence her selection of company. They
had never noticed that there was more
than passing acquaintance between her
and Paul, and when the fact of her mar
riage with him was brought to their at
tention they would not believe it. Their
daughter took the marriage certificate to
their house and showed them that it was
true before they could be convinced.
Knowing of the short time that had
elapsed since the death of Mrs. Paul. they
denied her the house. When her husband
was arrested she was left without means
and alone. She returned again to her
fathers house and was given home.
No one now condemns Paul more strong
ly than does his new wife and her parents.
