held to choose a new ticket. An effort
is being made to secure harmony
The neWspapere have been announc

campaign this year. This is a mistake,
az she will soon start out and do her
part to assist in making a winning

Senator King of Cowley county has
been renominated. He has served his
people four years in the House and
eight years In the Senate, and during
that time no charge of misrepresents-
tion OF his constituents has ever been
made.
The Popullst and Democratic con-
Ventions in the Fort Scott district in
Bourbon have nominated Judge w.
r. Biddle for Representative. He is q
free silver Republican and has served
three terms In the Legislature from
Linn county.
Why don't Chester 1. Long, Charley
Curtis and other Republican Congress
men from Kansas deliver some of their
own speeches as campaign documents
instead of flooding the country with
speeches delivered by McCleary, Bah
cock and others?
Ellis is quite anxious to have Dem.
ocrstic candidate for Congress named
in the big Sixth. Mr.. Ellis need not
worry about that matter. Whether
there are two or three candidates, A.
Fl. Ellis will not get q certificate of
election this year.
j. G. Postlewsite of Jewell City has
been nominated by the Republicans for
Judge of the Court Of Appeals for the
central division Of the northern depart
ment. I. F. Carver was the original
nominee, but his nomination for Chief
Justice made the place vacant.
Harry Richter, who has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans for Lieuten-
ant Governor, has been fighting Morrill,,
but 1t seems that he is now satisfied
that his criticisms Of the sdministra-
tion were unWsTranted. A nomina
tion for Office sometimes works won

The Populists Of Jewell county have
named the following ticket: County

AFFAIRS tn ALEXANDRIA
An Affrsy Of Very Serious
Hatura
Burnett Caught After q Lively Chase
Other Local Notes of an In.
teresting Character.

There Is hardly q week that there Is not
an attempt to commit murder or suicide in
this city. During the past two months
there have been five attempts at murder,
three at suicide and one suicide. Last
night Richard, alias Dick" Burnett at
tempted to take the life Of James Cook.
About month ago Cook appeared before
the mayor and swore out a warrant charg-
ing Burnett, who runs q saloon near the
Stone bridge, with selling liquor on Sun
day. He was arrested and convicted.
Shortly afterward Burnett was heard to
say that he intended to kill Cook the first
time he saw him. Last night Burnett was
standing on Henry street near King, when
Cook came along and spoke to him, and
Burnett answered him, and at the same
time struck him in the face with his fist,
knocking him down, and while he was
down he struck him terrible blow on the
head with his crutch, cutting a terrible
cash. Cook was carried to DR.. Snowden's
office. close by. where the doctor took nine
stitches to close the wound. In the mean
time Burnett made his escape and has
succeeded in evading the police. Burnett
Is one of the most dangerous and noted
characters in the city. He formerly ran a
saloon on Upper Duke street, but Judge
Norton revoked his license for violating the
Sunday law. Since then he has been fined
by the mayor for the same onanse. He Is
now out of Jail on bail for attempted mur
der and highway robbery.
Sergt. Smith and Policemen Dean and
Arlington this morning caught Burnett
after an exciting chase. during which the
latter scaled fences and led his pursuers
chase In his endeavOr to escape. He was
finally captured in Conneps' flower garden,
where he had concealed himself in a small
clubhouse. He was brought to the station
house and made the following statement to
a Star reporter, who saw him there:
When / was locked up In jail charged
with attempt at murder and highway rob-
berry about two weeks, Cook went to my
hcme and tried to swindle my wife out of
81, and my wife told me all about it. Cook
at that time pretended that he was a great
friend Of mine, and one day when he call
ed on me in the Jail asked him about 1t
and he gave me satisfactory answer
Shortly afterward he again went to my
home and grossly insulted my wife. / then
said 1 would not get myself into trouble

THE MESSAGE FROM HOMES COMMENCES,
Following the Volume Of Cures From New England Begins the MESSAGE
That Was Predicted From the Homes Voices e
fyng to Doctor McCoys Superb SklLCurne the Deaf

In a voice with a ring as clear as
a bells note commences today the
message from the homes of Wash
ington, telling the sick of the Great
Master who is instituting at the Ma
tion's Capital National Practice for
the dissemination of the Discovery
that has opened the ears of the deaf.
Last week the columns of testi-
mony were from the homes of New
England, and this was said in their
introduction:
Let those who may hesitate be-
cause this message is from far away
take abundant time. There is no
hurry. In short time Just such
testimony as this from your own
friends and neighbors will crowd
these columns. Just such a message
of manifold voices as this, which has
thrilled and awed New England with
the marvel of the discovery and the
majesty of the skill that produced it,
will come from the homes of the
people OF Washington"
That message is only begun in
these columns today, but in this be-
ginning let this lesson first be
taught
To the superb skill for which this
testimony is tribute, only the most
perfect Truth is kin.
No color of exaggeration. no false
light Of untruth involves the words
OF these grateful witnesses to Doctor
McCoy's power over disease They
testify to a skill in whose behalf no
lie was ever spoken. They testify to
triun1phs over sickness which the
color Of exaggeration would dim,
not glorify. In the plane and
splendor of the Great Masters
achievement for mankind only Truth,
the most perfect Truth, has place or
usefulness.
