PEPPER TALKS NEW PARTY
The Kansas Senator Thinks the De-
mocracY is Ropelessv Divided


Washington, Nov Ex-senator Peffer
from Kansas, is following the lead Of
Marion Butler OF North Carolina. in de-
claring that the silver men to accOmp-
lish their purposes must organize q. new
party, and that the Democrats must
practically disband or yield the leader
snip of the silver movement to others
In talking of the silver conference
which is expected to be held here about
the time Of the opening of congress
Senator PETER said:
The campaign just closed has taught
US that the friends of the gold standard
are ready to abandon party Affiliations
to secure legislation in accord with their
own views, that they regard the money
question as the only one worth talking
about, and that they viii hold what
they have by a continued agitation of
the money question. Under these cir
cumstances it would be idiOcy for us to
quarrel over party name or allow party
prejudices to keep US apart when moth
ing but the closest union can achieve
success.
THE Democratic party as such can
hardly expect ever again to control the
government. It is hopelessly divided on
the money question and will continue
to be so as long IS it is a party. Hence
the wise thing for silver Democrats to
do is to unite with the POpulists and
silver Republicans and form an en-
tirely distinct and new body under a
new name and organized for the eX-
press purpose of carrying on the strug-
Populsts with the silver Democrats in
the last campaign was a temporary ar
rangement and the union Of the silver
Republicans with the Democrats was
likewise for the campaign only. They
are no more Democrats now than be
fore the campaign Hence. in my opin-
ion, the only way to effect a perfect I'M
ion of anti-gold standard forces is
through a new party organization.
i do not think it wise for US to in
terpose any factious opposition to the
Republicans. If they propose to take
up the Dingley bill I do not think it
would be wise on our part to prevent
its passage by insisting on a free coin
age addition. We could discuss the two
propositions separately If they have
votes enough to pass their bill, as a
separate measure, we would probably
have votes enough to pass ours also as
a separate measure. If the tariff bin
should become a law its effect would
soon become apparent. and we then
could know whether it was for better
or worse"

GORMLY'S BAND NO LONGER
Mr Gormly Requested to Resign on
Account of Dissenslon.

Charles E. Comfy IS no longer con
nected with his own band as director
OF in any capacity.
At the regular meeting Of the band
Sunday night his resignation was re-
quested, and he handed it in. 1t was
accepted.
There have been rumors for some
time of dissatisfaction in the band.
a prominent member of the band,
prominent also in business circles in
TepeN~, says
1t becs m certain that if Mr.. GOrnlv
remained several of the boys would
leave the band, so we asked him to re-
sign. Gormly has worked hard in the
band room and is a most pleasant and
agreeab I fellow. Personally and as
director. the boys all liked him.
The fault seems to have been that in
She eHdeavO- t. e. abllSn j reputation
for his band, Mr.. GOrmly made con
tracts to play at such prices that there
was no money in it, and men who had
to leave their work to 60 really lost.
This viii not disrupt the band, it is
said. The position of director has been
off red bV the rand's committee to w
F. Roehr. but he will probably not ac-
cept it.
Mr. Roehr said: II am not prepared
to say vet whether I will accept or not
good thing for me TO do. Ny business
takes my time pretty thoroughly. I am
considering the matter now, but really
1 don't think can accept it."
The band numbers about 80.
of course said member today
we viii have to change the name. but
it viii not be to the name OF the direc-
tor. 1t viii be some general name, so
that if we have to change directors
again, we can go along without inter
ruption."
Gormly is a carpenter. and when he
was a tuba player with MarshalTs band
was accounted a very good one.
Two years ago he started his band in
opposition to MarshalIs band, and last
summer gave free concerts opposite the
Copeland on Friday nights when Mar
shalIs band was playing at the park
and charging admission.
The concerts however. did not seem
to impair the usual attendance at the
Garfield park concerts.

AN AMUSING TURN.

Road That Called in His Pass.

Judge Martin Appointed Receiver Of
Road That Called in His Pass.
Both sides interested in the Santa Fs
receivership are at a standstill today.
Copies of the order issued by Judge
Foster yesterday We're served on Judge
Henry Keller and D. r. Hite this morn
ing, and both gentlemen stated that
they would obey the order and take no
further action before Judge Myers. A
copy of the order was served on Judge
John Martin yesterday afternoon.
An amusing feature in connection
with the appointment of Judge John
Martin as receiver OF the Santa Fe in
Kansas is the fact that some months
ago Judge Martins annual pass, grant
ed him by Mr.. A. A Hurd, was called
in and afterwards bulletined by the
Santa Fe management. At the time
Judge Martin stated that the action in
calling in his pass was the result of a
speech delivered by him during the
campaign in which he denounced the
railroad company. IF the receivership

Yesterday noon as Mrs. J. W Bra

into her wagon and drove on.
Driving around on Sixth street. near

to a store. Not long afterwards Capt.
J. 3. Johnson happened along and he
spied his laprObe in the spring wagon.
He called Sergeant McElrOy and asked
that the owner Of the wagon be arrested
while he went to procure a detention
warrant.
At the police station Patrol Driver
Bundy recognized her, and when two
or three other citizens identified her and
she made her explanation, Capt. John
