Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. ia special

Chairman Briedenthal, of the Populist
states organization in Kansas, has been
in consultation with Thomas E. Wat
son, the vice presidential candidate,

Chairman Briedenthal is making an
energetic fight in behalf of the DEM

said to have proposed TO Mr.. Watson
that they submit the whole matter to
a joint committee of the Democratic
and Populist national executive COM
mittee, and that Mr.. Watson promised
to consider the matter. The Georg-
ian, however, is aid to have bluntly re-
fused to withdraw from Kansas and

SMOKED THE PIPE OF PEACE

Ashland, Wis, Sept. IAN import
ant historical event has just occurred
in the city. The Sioux and Chippewa,
two of the most powerful tribes of
American Indians, and bitter enemies
for centuries, have smoked the pipe of
peace. The chiefs of both tribes were
present. The spot where the pipe of
peace was smoked is the scene of one
of the most bloody battles between
these two tribes in the memorable cam
paign of 1912, Chief Cloud, of the Chip
pewas, made an address in which he
said:
In times by-gone, we have been en-
emies but we now meet with good feel
ing and our hearts are pure as the
flags we carry. While we love our
forefathers, we are proud of our ad-
vance in civilization and greet you in
the dawn of a new era as friends"
Rocky Bear and Flat Iron responded
for the Sioux. The action will be Off
cially ratified by the different tribes of
Sioux in the west.

FIGHT OR GET.
GOMEZ WILL TOLERATE NO NEU-
TRAILS.
All Able-Bodied Men Must Join One Side
or the 0ther-No Neutrals Al
lowed by Either Gomez
or Weyler,

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: 1t is
the rebels now who are making war
upon Cuban pacificos. Under late
decree of Maxine Gomez, the insurgent
leader, those who have attempted to
preserve a neutral attitude must show
their colors and come out openly for
one side or the other. Ablebodied men
who are combatants must take ma
chete in hand and strike for Cuba and
independence, or abandon their fields,
take refuge within the cities and towns
held by government forces and should
er a rife in defense of Spain and the
crown. Neutrals in future will not
be respected in time of war. Gomez
says there should be no pacificos save
helpless women and innocent children.
BY a strange coincidence he and Capt.
Gen. Weyler have upon this subject
identical ideas, and stranger still, each
is opposed to allowing planters to
gather their sugar and cocoa crops
until after the war is fought to a fin
ish. From all over the island dis
patches bring reports that the instruc-
tions of Gomez have been rigidly car
ried in to effect.
Beyond the Vierdota, but a few
leagues from Havana, Ramon Velez,
a poor peasant, was dragged from his
humble hut, shot and afterward horri-
bly, macheted by an insurgent band
before the eyes of his wife and chill
dren whose appeals for mercy availed
him naught. His crime was failure
to obey a previous intimation from the
insurgents that he should either join
them or move into town.

misa, an old widow with a house full

RICH IN SPITE OF HIMSELF.

Chicago, Sept. 12-For many years,
E. r. Brainerd, of the firm of E. r.
Brainerd & Co., stone contractors of
Chicago, has held tract of land in
Virginia, some 500 acres, because he
could not get rid of it without giving
it away, the land coming into his po-
session in payment Of a bad debt. A
few days ago Mr.. Brainerd went east
with a view of disposing of this tract
if it were possible to do, but on making
closer inspection of his land than had
heretofore been made, a deposit of
manganese was found, the extent of
which is supposed to be almost unlim-
tied, with what is estimated to be a
million dollars worth of the metal in
plain sight. 1t is the most valuable
deposit of manganese ever uncovered
in this country. A New York syndi-
cate has offered to either buy or devel-
op the bonanza and work will begin
at once.

BESSIE LITTLE.
ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER IN
COLD BLOOD.
The Coils Are Tightening Around Albert
Franz As They Did Around Hay
wood Who Murdered
Catharine Cling.

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 12.-Although
Bessie Little was murdered over week
ago,there is still intense excitement over
her case. 1t is developing into muir
der of as much elaboration as that of
Catherine Cling at Minneapolis, and in
to almost as atrocious disposition of
the body as that of Pearl Bryan whose
head was never found. When it was
proven that Bessie Little was last seen
on the night of Thursday, August q,
riding with her lover, Albert Frantz,
the latter said she had shot herself
while they were in the buggy together.
There were defensive theories about
lovers agreeing to die together and
that Frantz did not carry out his part
of the contract but every day evidence
is accommodating to show that Frantz
deliberately drove the girl out to an
obscure place along Saltwater river,
shot her and threw her body from the
bridge into the river. The next day
Frantz's barn burned, destroying his
bloodstained buggy and other traces His
own family testified that when Frantz
returned home on the night of the
murder he was greatly excited and fell
in a swoon. On being revived he told
his story about Bessie shooting herself
while they were out riding and that in
his fright he threw the body over the
bridge into the river and fastened
home. He has stuck to this story to
the officers since his arrest, but in do
ing so he has made many admissions
that convict him. The missing link,
in the Pearl Bryan case was the head.
In this case it is the revolver which
Frantz admits he threw into the river
with the body. Chief of Police Fer
rell knows where Frantz bought re-
volver previous to the murder and is
doing everything to find the missing
weapon. If it is found and identified
as the weapon that Frantz bought then
the evidence is complete. Chief Fer
ren has had the river dragged. Every
disclosure intensifies the degree of the
crime, as we'll as the feeling in this
community.

For The Silver Mine Owners At Kan

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 12.-Mr.
Bryan began his work early this morn
ing. He arrived in Kansas City at
$780, and at the depot We're gathered
nearly a thousand workingmen, who
surrounded the car and awoke him i'm
mediately. The reception committee
had met the train at Leavenworth but
did not wake the nominee. The work.
ingmen were from the car shops and
packing houses, and they demanded
speech from Mr.. Bryan. From the
rear end of the platform he addressed
them in part as follows:
Fellow citizens: This is little earlier
than usually commence my mornings
work. Qaughter) / am very glad to be
able to speak for you If only for mo-
ment Some of our opponents tell US
that the thing to do is to open the mills
inhtead of mines. 1t is putting the
cart before the horse. What use is
there for mills unless people can buy
what the mills produce and how can
you start them as long as those who
produce wealth of this country, par
ticularly if farmers are not able to get
enough out of what they raise to pay
their taxes and interest? (Applause)
There is no more effective way of de-
stroying markets for what mills pro-
duce than to lower prices upon the pro-
ducts the farmer has raised so they
will not bring him enough to pay him
for raising thin.

FUSION FRAUD IN COLORADO.

Denver, Col, Sept. 12.-Efforts to
consolidate the four silver parties in
Colorado in support of one state ticket
in the coming election proved failure.
Democrats and silver Republicans, how
ever, have combined for the support of
the ticket headed by Alva Adams, DEM
ocrat, for governor, and the Populists
effected fusion with the silver party.
Their joint ticket will heade by Judge
NJ. S. Bailey, Populist. These four
parties, however, have all united in
support of Bryan and Sewall, electoral
ticket. There remains one state con-
vention yet to be held, that of the Nc
