More About George Taylor.

Says dispatch from Guthrie, Okla:
''Deputy-Marshal f. NJ. Canton says he
has positive information that George
Taylor, the escaped murderer of the
Meeks' family in Missouri. is living in
the mountains of the Creek reserva-
ton. He is with former Missourians,
and in the hiding places in that sec
ton he is safe from pursuit. Canton
had him definitely located several
weeks ago, and was organizing to go
after him when Taylor learned of the
intended raid and moved to another
point, Other deputies in from that
section say that Taylor is organizing
a gang of outlaws, and will become
as desperate and notorious as Bill
Doolin"

An AwfnI Traeadr.

When the two daughters of Mira
John Bomley, wife of farmer near
Arkoe, Nodaway county, returned
home from school they found
their mother lying dead in the
kitchen, with her brains beaten
out. and signs of desperate encoun-
ter in several rooms. It is supposed
that tramp found Mrs. Bomley alone
with her babe, and attempted an as
sault. Indications point to the struggle
having been first made upstairs, where
broken furniture tells the tale of q
desperate fight. From there the par
Elephants descended to the first floor,
and finally reached the kitchen,
where Mrs. Bomley seized a stove
lift and defended herself. Wounds
about her head and body show
that her assailant completed his muir
derous work with stovelid. All the
rooms where the parties fought were
covered with blood and tell of the des-
perate struggle the woman made for
her life and honor. Mr.. Bomley was
away from home during the day.

JAMES M'CCLL SUGGESTED FOR
STATE SENATOR.

Many of the best people in this part
of the county, irrespective of political
affiliations, are mentioning frequently
the name of our popular fellow towns
man James McColl in connection with
the nomination for State Senator on
the Republican ticket. We know of
no other individual who could repre-
sent our county in this branch of the
Legislature with more energy and
ability than Mr.. McColl.
He has been three times elected vii.
lage president of Yale and has made a
splendid record as an executive officer
He is an employer of labor, having
direct management of all of the flax
manufacturing enterprises in this part
of the state which carry in st. Clair
county alone the largest payroll of
any concern; possibly excepting the
Port Huron Engine d Thresher Works
He is in touch with the business in
terests of st. Clair county, for he is a
business man of undoubted practical
ability, fully evidenced by the success
of those institutions under his control
and management.
Mr.. McColl is free and clear from
any entangling political alliances and
with his many strong points we believe
him particularly fitted for the place OF
the ticket above suggested.

BRYAN, Free Trader.

| The glaring fact that the Treasury
report shows a deficit of more thar
81 100000 day for the first ten days
of August lends sharpened emphasi.
to the great underlying issues of The
present National campaign. The gov
eminent is running behind, and tina
condition has the same effect upon it,
citizens that falls upon household
whose expenses exceed it's income
One of two things must follow. Re
trenchment, reduction of value anC
hard times shall come, or reputation
prOfligacy in the issue of irredeemablt
promises and financial dishOnor.
Mr.. Bryan does not deny that the ex.
pense of the government greatly ex
ceeds its income. He dare not. He
delves in theories, but he is too crafty
to grapple with facts and conditions as
set forth in the official reports of the
government of which he aspires to be
Chief Executive. In all his pronounce
ments he lodges the plain simple, bust
'ess question of how to provide sufli.
cient revenue to meet the daily, urgent
hOnOr-bOund obligations of the Nation
He has nowhere offered, and he will
not offer, a hint or suggestion for the
increase of the governments income to
the level of it's OutgO.
The explanation of this mysterious
reticence on the part Of Mr.. Bryan is
that he is, above all things, free
trader. In his estimation the great
ness of this Nation is to be measured
not by the industrial prosperity of its
citizens, but by the volume of its i'm
ports from the old world. He stands
for the idea that Americans should
produce only raw materials if there
could be such thing-and send it
abroad to be made into fabrics, to be
imported into our own land. But all
the FORCES and mills Of Alabama and
Tennessee and Pennsylvania, all the
looms and spindles of South Carolina,
Georgia and New England, all the
potteries of Ohio and New Jersey and
all the furnaces, kilns, ovens and
mines of the whole range of States
from the st. Lawrence to the Rio
Grande, and from the Penobscot to the
Golden Gate, stand forth to challenge
his philosophy and craftsmanship.
Mr.. Bryan's advocacy of free silver is
but mask to disguise his real char
acter as partisan OF free trade. In
1892 he declared, in his own state of
Nebraska, according to the uncontra-
dicted assertion of Senator Thurston,
81 am a free trader. Give us free
trade and the American workingman's
wages will go up" Mr. Bryan's
scheme worked, but in disappointing
way. The Wilson-Gorman bill, for
which he voted, sent workingmen's
wages up, but they went 10y the spout
route.
American labor is therefore album
dainty warranted in keeping a vigilant
eye upon the smooth young states
man" from Nebraska. His shield is
heavily plated with free silver, but
wherever the advocates of Americas
industrial independence pierce the
joints of his armor they will find a
rotund and well-nourished free trader
and a jealous exponent of the idea
that this Nation should have its manu-
featuring done in foreign lands.
