Bryan Men Promptly Rebulxed for
Their Tactics.
Paris, Mo-, Nov 1.-Generals Palm
er and Bu,:kner arrived here this
morning on their trip through Missouri
and were met at The depot by 500 peo-
pie. The candidates stood on the rear
platform, with their heads bare. A
number Of young men pushed up with
a big Bryan banner and showed it un-
der the noses of the generals. Several
efforts of Gen. Buckner were inter-
rupted with cries of derision, many Of
the crowd yelling: ''Look at the Nc
Kinley aid society!' Stung by this
last fling, Gen. Buckner, pointing at
the banner, said:
''Let me tell you what constituted the
aid society. In 1892, on sound money
platform, we elected Grover Cleveland,
but the last elections in Missouri, in
Illinois, in Kentucky, in Ohio, were dis
astrous because you, you shouters,
with your heresies, drove the party
into failure and contempt. Hold up
the banner. There is the emblem of
the Mckinley aid society. Look at it"
The train had to pull out to get away
from the banner carriers. Many Of
the crowd expressed regret at the &C.
currence.

INDIANS TRY THE COURTS.
The Divirce Courts Mt That-First
Born's Marital Duplictty.


Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. 1-Further
evidence that the Sioux Indians are
rapidly advancing in civilization is
furnished by the commencement here
of divorce proceedings between men,
bers of the tribe. A few days ago it
was not necessary to apply to the
courts to dissolve Indian marriages,
such as they were. In October, 1890,
First Born and Appearing Earth were
married at Crow Greek agency. AZ
fairs in the First Born household went
along with scarcely ripple until two
years ago. when a young Sioux beauty
named Good Natured> Fool Bear ap-
peared on the scene. She had been at
tending one of the Eastern Indian
schools. The jealousy of the wife was
aroused. Then the recreant husband
and the young charmer decided to
elope. They fled to Yankton agency.
but were followed by Indian police and
carried back to Grow Greek. Last
month Rev. e. P. Swartout, Metho-
dist of Gam Valley, married First
Born and Fool Bear. Now the original
wife has him arrested for bigamy and
sues for divorce.

Norristown, Pa, Nov. 1.-The mys-
terry of the death Of Mrs. Emma Kais-
err who was shot through the head
while riding with her husband near
here on Wednesday night, is growing
deeper daily. The husbands story of
an attack by footpads is generally dis
credited. and the theory that he killed
her to obtain insurance money is gain
ing weight. After brief formal hear
ing to-day he was committed to prison
without bail. 1t has been learned that
five policies have been issued to Kais-
er and his wife. 1t is also known that
Kaiser is not in good financial con-
ditiOn.

ments, Mrs. Nordhalls dress caught
fire and in a moment the woman was
enveloped in fire and before assistance
arrived her entire body was horribly
burned. Everything possible was done
to save her life, but it was all in vain.
The little girl received slight injuries.

convicted of the murder of Carey B.
Birch, was hanged to-day. He wrote
that Joseph Windrath, his companion
in crime, who was executed June 5
last, was not guilty, claiming that he
did the shooting himself. On the scat
fold he reiterated charge, made some
time ago, that Judge Horton had led
him to believe he would escape capital
punishment if he confessed, and thus
giving him no chance for his life in 8
trial. His neck was broken by the
fall.

WE'RE BADLY FRIGHTENED.
Storm Unlermines n Bridge, Which
Sinks Under O Trim.


Duluth, Nov. IA terrible accident
was averted by clear luck and the
presence of mind of an engineer this
morning on the st. Paul & Duluth
road. The train was moving onto the
bridge between West Duluth and West
Superior and ablinding storm was on.
Suddenly the trestle sagged under the
engine and it dropped several feet. The
train was going at pretty good speed
and the engine passed over the sag
ging part but jumped the track and
ran along on the ties. The engineer
was thrown from his seat but jumped
up and quickly applied the air brake
and closed the throttle. All the cars
passed over the sag safely except the
Minneapolis sleeper, and it turned over
on it's side at the embankment just
before the trestle was reached by the
rear end Of the train. Nobody was
hurt, but there was badly frightened
lot of passengers.

VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY.
What IL Said in Warrington and in
London


London.
Washington, Nov. i. - Close inquiry
here into the intimation from London
that Sir Richard Webster had been Sc
lected as q member of a commission
to arbitrate the Venezuelan boundary
question fails to develop confirmation
of any sort for the statement. While
the negotiations are progressing they
have not reached the stage where they
relate to the personnel of an arbitra-
ton commission, but are still devoted
to a discussion of the limitations to be
imposed upon any commission to be
created. From the high reputation Of
Sir Richard Webster, his selection is
not regarded as improbable when the
negotiations reach the proper phase,
but it is said here that the nomination
was not made from a source in politi-
cal sympathy with the present Brit
iSh cabinet.

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-11-21
THE SALE OF JOHN R. GENTRY.

The love which the city Of Wichita
has always felt for the entire horse fam
lily Is reQuited in full by the figure that
one of its products, John r, Gentry, is
cutting in the world.
He Is the fastest harness horse In the
whole world, and it is a matter Of no
small qualification TO Wichita that he
was born here. The county of Sedg-
wick has from its origin Overfowed
with devotees of equine speed. When
the town was less than ten years Of age
the county fairs surpassed those Of all
the surrounding country, and to the
great horror of the Purltanical citizens
the crowds rushed by the mammoth
pumpkins and the elephantine water
melons, the splendid array of canned
goods and the sensational pieces of local
amateur art, and dashed for the grand
stand to see the races. The quarter
stretch tag always sold fast and in the
receipts no item showed up heavier
than that which had to do with the
truck.
Other good horses have made their
first appearances here and have been
raised in this vicinity, notable among
them 10. Patchen. There is a sort of
tradition in the valley that the altitude
and climate gives the maximum of lung
power, reach and agility, and when, on
top % this tradition, large immigration
from Kentucky in the eighties settled in
southern Kansas. the belief that this
was the horse heaven of the world be-
came a conviction. From that day to
this Wichita has had in proportion to its
population more fine horses, turnouts
and superior whips than any city of its
size ia the world.
john K. Gentry is not believed here to
be an accident. While the greatest
credit, of course. must be given TO his
famous sire, yet in these qualities
wherein he eXcels Ashland Wilkes
Wichita believes he owes 10 his southern
Kansas origin. Ii is this belief which
induces the further belief that If in the
future q horse shall exceed the speed of
Gentry re VIII spring from the valley of
the Arhansaw.
