TO RESCUE BILL TAYLOR.


Sensational Rum0r That His Friends VIII
Hold Up the Train.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April %. "A spe-
cial from Milan, Mo-, says: 1t is un-
derstood and believed here that the
friends Of W. P. Taylor, the condemned
murderer OF the Meeks family, now In
Jail at Kansas City, will attempt to
hold up the train which will carry the
doomed man to Carrollton on the
morning OF the SOth Of April, and over
power the officers and get him away
II possible. 1t is said that Taylor has
been corresponding with two former
highwaymen and others equally as
bad, hence their belief Of the rescue
plot, and they will ask that extra pre-
caution be taken to foil their plans.
The supreme court of Missouri yes
terday overruled the motion for re-
hearing in the case of George and
william Taylor. The matter now
rests, so far as the supreme court OF
this state Is concerned, and Bill Tay-
lor will have to look to the supreme
court Of the United States for further
delay in his case. His attorneys have
been busy at Carrollton preparing data
to present to the judges of the SUI
preme court of tho United States
in case the state supreme court
refuses TO grant rehear-
ing, and one Of them will leave at once
for jefferson City to secure the appeal
to the higher court. They fully ex'
pected, as did Taylor himself, that the
supreme court would refuse to grant
rehearing, and II the court grants the
appeal on writ Of error, it will stoT
proceedings in the execution until the
United States supreme court has passed
on the evidence.

RUSSELL THEIR CHOICE.

.ov.rnor Nonin ted far President
BosroS, April se.-With enthusiasm
almost surprising that noted At the
recent state convention Of the repub'
leans of Massachusetts, when Thomas
b. Reed was indorsed as a presidential
candidate, the democrats OF this state
to-day set their approval upon Grover
Cleveland as president and named ex'
Gov. W. E. Russell as their choice for
the nomination for President Cleve-
lands successor. John l. Thayer, OF
Worcester, was chosen permanent
chairman. In his address, Mr.. Thayer
claimed that the democrats had car
ried out their pledges in the past three
years and said Of the silver question;
1.-THE true interest Of all our people
who cannot constantly and closely
observe the money market Is TO have
every dollar issued or authorized by
the government at all times, under all
circumstances and in all its uses, the
exact, unchanging equivalent, not
only in debt paying, but in It's purchas-
ing power Of any dollar" This,
he held, could only be secured
by the maintenance Of the monetary
standard universally adopted by the
civilized world. "Oi what avail" he
added, lis 1t to pass resolutions for the
single gold standard. II as now appears
quite probable, Mr. Mckinley Is to re-
ceive the nomination for president?
The people we'll know that Mckinley
Is upon record as white metal advo'
cate; that he has q long, consistent
and uninterrupted record while In con-
gress favorable TO silver" Mr.. Thayer
denounced the American Protective as

GUTHRIE, Ok, April s2-The Okla
homa presbytery convened at Ponca
City yesterday and will remain In ses.

great interest, inasmuch as the ques-
tion Of the abandonment OF churches
at weak points and consolidation with
the Congregational church will be de-
cided. The committees Of the Presby.
terian and Congregational associations
agreed to this some time ago, but
many Of the churches refused to COM
ply and will make hard fight to get
the agreement Of the committees an.
