FIFTH WARD BRYAN CLUB.
Address by D. G. Tinotson-WiIl Meet
Next Week in the Grand Stand.

Next Week IN the Grand stand
The third meeting of the Bryan Free
Silver club of the Fifth ward was held
last night in Lulrs hall on Kansas ave-
nue. near Seventeenth street. The audi
ence was not as large as at the prev
ious meeting when Joe Waters spoke.
but what it lacked in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm.
D. c. TinotsOn was the speaker of the
evening, and made a talk on the fin
ancial question. He discussed the is
suance of bonds and the theories ad-
vanced for stopping all further issues,
and said if Mckinley was elected all
the greenbaclss would be called in and
cancelled, and $500 900 900 of the peo-
pies money sacrificed to maintain a
gold standard.
"One thing we need to do and that is
to convince the people of this country
to vote their convictions regardless Of
the party heading of the ticket. Men
to walk under their own hats without
waiting for Morgan or Ickelheimer to
say so. Keep your own cOunsels and a
wise head. and vote according to the
dictates of your conscience. and the
victory viii be yours and ours
After Mr.. TillotsOn's speech the Sc
lection of a meeting place for the next
meeting was brought up for discussion.
1t was advocated by some of the MEM
bers to meet farther east in the ward,
as q. large number of the voters of the
Fifth ward live east of Kansas avenue.
A gentleman from that part of the
ward stated, however, that separate
club had been formed, and it was then
decided to meet next Friday evening at
the grand stand in the fair grounds.
The executive committee of the club
will hold a meeting Wednesday night
for the purpose of perfecting the or
ganization of the club and selecting
permanent officers.

MRs.MANNING, FOR MURDER
a. Former Topeka Woman Held for
Completely in Her Husbands
Murder

The Topeka friends of Mrs. J. A.
Manning were shocked to hear the
news that she had been arrested on
the charge of completely in the MUIR
der of her husband at Guthrie, Ok
J. A Manning used to live in TOpe-
ka lie married Miss Minnie McGreg-
or, the daughter of Mr.. A. McGregor
of ia West Fifth street. They moved
ago, and have resided there since.
The murder was a cold bloOded one
Mr. Manning thought he heard some
one trying to get into his chicken coop
and started out toward it. When
nearing it some one concealed in the
weeds, shot him and he died almost
instantly.
Detectives were set to work and they
soon fastened the crime on Grove
Huntley, a. young man who lived near
the Manning farm, and who, it is said
was much in love with Mrs. Manning.
Mrs. Manning was arrested yester-
day for completely in the murder. Both
cases are said to be strong ones, as the
couple are said to have been infatuated
with each other.
The preliminary hearing of the case
will occur Tuesday. Mrs. Manning is
a handsome woman and has always
borne a good reputation. She has a
large circle of friends in this city who
will hear with regret the news of her
arrest on the awful charge of compile
ity in the murder of her husband.
Mr.. A. McGregOr, the father, is at
Guthrie now and will see the case
through.

TO AID PROHIBITION.
Methodist Kansas Conference Pledged
to Sustain the Law.

Reading. Aug. 22.-The Emporia dis
trict south Kansas conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church has ad-
journed after three days session
here
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the meeting after considerable
discussion:
Your committee on resolutions re-
specially submit the following:
Whereas, There is a most deter
mined and vigorous assault being
made upon the prOhibitory law and
very dangerous on account of its secret
mode of operation, and knowing as we
do that at present said law is the only
SucceSIuI political remedy for the evils
of intemperance, and it being our con-
VlcUOn that the law that was passed
by a majority Of the intelligent
citizens of the state of Kansas can be
enforced regardless of local sentiment:
therefore, We, in the name of all that
is sacred and right, insist on its en-
fOrcement by our servants the officers
OF the law Yet realizing the
fact that favorable public sentiment
greatly facilitates the enforcement of
the law; therefore,
Resolved That We as members of
the EmpOria district south Kansas con
ference of the Methodist EPISCOPAL
church, pledge ourselves by our SYM
pathy' influence and preaching, to do
All We can to develop a healthy public
sentiment in favor of it's enforcement
Inc following amendment to the
above was offered and adopted by the
conference by vote Of one majority
That, whereas, much responsibility
rests with our executive officers in the
enforcement of our prohibitory laws.
therefore, we urge that in the fear of
God, in the interest of our social re
forms, in the interest of good govern
ment, this law should be vigorously
prosecuted.
Further, we deprecate any laxftv
and seeming cooperation of our chief
executive with law breakers, and pray
that whoever may be elected to that
position, and all other executive Off
GERS, may be above thus compromising
themselves -

cheered and cannon doomed and steam

HIGH, Low AND THEN COOL.
Why Life isWorth Living Today Ex-
planned by the Weather Bureau.

A few more predictions as accurate
as those sent out during the past week,
and the weather bureau will have
earned the awful reputation of telling
the truth Twice was cooler weather
predicted by that august body of
prophets, and twice did it arrive on
schedule time. The last happened
early this morning when the lightning
played and the wind gallOped over the
city at the rate of 35 miles an hour
and the mercury fell to 81 degrees. 1t
was the old story of a wandering low
from the California valleys passing
eastward over the state, and a wander
ing high from Montana following in
Kansas, however, and is still here. At
2 o'clock this afternoon the thermome-
ter registered rs degrees, with a north
west wind blowing at the rate of u
miles an hour.
Showers this afternoon, generally
fair weather tonight and Sunday, cool
er tonight and warmer in the western
portion tomorrow-this is the predic-
ton sent out today.
Throughout the state today the
weather is reported generally cloudy
and cool the temperature ranging from
6S to so degrees. A good rain is re-
ported to have fallen early this morn
ing in the majority of the eastern.
western, northern and some of the
southern counties Only a slight
sprinkle. too light to be measured, fell
in Topeka and vicinity.

OVERMYER RESENTS IT.
This Talk About a Joint Debate That
Has Never Been Arranged.

David Overmyer and General Cald-
well will not debate at Granville this
afternoon as was announced by some
paper. Mr.. Overmyer was asked this
morning concerning the matter nd
said:
There has not at any time been any
arrangements between myself and
General Caldwell, or between myself
and anyone else to have a debate this
afternoon at Granville I understand
that General Caldwell has not been
consulted about any such matter,
neither was I consulted nd that he
is out of the city and has been for sew
eral days His name, as well as my
own, has been banded about with dis
gushing freedom by a lot of irresponsi-
BILE fakirs. The persistent reiteratiOn
of this matter in the press I suppose
proceeds upon the theory that "a lie
we'll stuck to is as good as the truth "

GOURDAIN on MN.
The Man Who Was in the Shawnef
Jail on Trial in New Orleans.

L. A. Gourdain, the New Orleans lot.
terry operator who spent 60 days in the
Shawnee county Jail under sentence b.
Judge Foster, is having an exciting
time in New Orleans where he is beine
tried for boodling.
Gourdain was the best dressed mar
ever confined in the county Jail. He
wore jewelry and the best of clothes
and had his meals brought from this
Throop.
Gourdain conducted his own defense
in the federal court and he has adopt.
ed the same course in his present trial
though he is not a lawyer.
The New Orleans Picayune prints
five columns of the proceedings of the
trial. 1t says of GOurdain's speech be-
fore the jury:
"Gourdain then took the floor and
made his argument. He posed rather
dramatically and began by taking long
strides up and down in front of the ju-
rors, and next he said he would not ask
favorS of the judge, or of the jury or
the district attorney, or the attorney
general. There was no case against
him.

Everybody present sprung the free sill

MRS. CASE WON'T RUN.
Declines the Nomination of Attorney
General Because Not CousuIted.


General Because Not Consulted.
Mrs. Lucia o. Case of this city who
was nominated on Tuesday by the Ma
tionalist party of this state for attorney
general, has declined to run. Following
is her letter:
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 81. 1896.
DR.. Newton, Chairman National Com
mittee, Ottawa, Kah.-Dear Sir:-Ady
impulse upon hearing of the action of
your convention last Tuesday in norni-
mating me for the Office of attorney
general, was to Immediately announce
that I must positively decline the
honor But as I wished to be sure that
I was right, have taken this time to
deliberate and am more fully convinced
that this is the thing for me to do
While I am not unmindful of the com
pliment paid me by your honorable
body, must respectfully decline to al
low my name to be for the position
One of the reforms that have adVo-
Gated has been that of having the posi-
ton seek the individual, not the indi-
vidual the position, but the practice of
nominating one for a position without
consultation with them, seems to me to
be open to criticism as well as the old
method. Very respectfully,
LUCIA 0. CASE.
