JERRY HAS A ROW
He Proceeds to Fire the Editors of His
Paper But Fails

A letter from Medicine Lodge TO a
citizen of Wichita explains itself as
follows:
There has been considerable excite
ment in Populist circles for few
days.
Hon. Jerry Simpson becoming con-
WINGED that forbearance had ceased to
be a virtue, started in TO even up with
a few of his people VINO have been CIV
ing aid and encouragement TO Judge
Mckay and the crowd that is fighting
him for the Popuiist nomination for
congress.
HE started in by arranging to fire
Messrs. Painter and Herr, the editors
and managers of the Barber county IN
dex, the official Pop county organ. Mr..
Simpson is a stockholder in the paper.
He got two of the five directors together
and with proxies from two more pro-
ceeded to serve notice on the e-titorS TO
quit The editors acting under the ad-
vice of counsel, rfused to recognize the
proxies, and as the Index company IS
not Incorporated under the state laws,
also claim that the directors are ex-
ceeding their authority.
I'm the meantime Mr.. Simpson had
imported an editor named Foster from
Hutchinson and is entertaining the
young man at his home.
AS the case now stands both sides
are resting on their arms Mr.. Simpson
is determined to no longer support his
enemies by giving them employment
on a paper in which he owns stock,
while Messrs. Painter and Herr are

CAUGHT A CONWAY JOINTIsr
sheriff Heskett of sumner Takes in a MAI
Named Goblin.

Last winter a man named d. r. Cobb
was arrested at Conway Springs for run
ming joint and he escaped from Char
ley: Shawver. the officer in charge. Char
ley chased him about ten miles and
gave him an exciting race; the particu-
lars of which We're published in the
Eagle at the time. He IS caught at
last, according TO the following from the
Wellington Mail:
Sheriff ]. r. Heskett returned from
Galena, Kan, yesterday morning in
charge of r. d. Goblin, the Conway
Springs jointist who escaped arrest
shortly after Sheriff Heskett's term OF
Office began. Deputy Sheriff c. c..
Shaver chased him all the way from
Conway Springs to Millerton the time
he escaped and there lost track of him
Goblin has been in concealment ever
since.
The officers recently located him at
Galena and at once cut off his farther
retreat. As Sheriff Heskett returned
with Goblin ne stopped over night in
Chanute. The marshal OF that city
came TO Hsskett and asked what au-
thority he had to hold Goblin. When
Sheriff Heskett showed the warrant
from this county the marshal he was
sorry to see that. as he wanted Goblin
on a charge of assault with intent TO
kill. He says that Goblin assaulted
the marshal of Chanute some time ago
and almost killed him The officers
there have been trying to locate Goblin
ever since They now have him lOca ted
and viii very likely take charge OF him
when Sumner county gets through with
him.
Goblin was brought before Squire F.
II. Gilmore this afternoon. He plead
guilty 20 one count and County Attor-
ney Woods dismissed the other four.
Squire Gilmore demurred about that
sort of proceeding and said he was get
ting tired OF Il. He fined Goblin $3.50 and
sent him TO Jail for thirty days The
amount of the fine made very little dir-
ference TO Goblin as he had no money

gerous. and neither OF the other candi-
dates could command a stronger sup
mort at the polls. 1 had also become
convinced 10Y the most positive
and urgent request that my candidacy
was desired. NV belief was based up
on facts stated 70 me by parties who
uere anxious TO do what would most
certainly insure party success. As
Judge Johnson is the friend of all and
nv reason of his opportunities and his
careful and conservative judgment Is
usually consulted by all, too consulted
him. This was but a few days before
the meeting OF the St. Louis conven-
ton which he intended attending L
asked him TO write me after learning
The sentiments of the Kansas Repuo-
licans at the convention. He did write
me. His letter was not written in the
Interest Of any one but stated the STU
alton as ne had learned 1t while there
He did not write that Governor Nor
riiI had withdrawn or would withdraw,
or ANYTHING like that in substance, and
I have never said 10 anyone that ne did
so write me, or that I knew Morrill,
would withdraw I have known for
the last ten days that he would not
withdraw. The announcement OF my
candidacy could have been no surprise
to the governor, because no man in the
state was better informed of the posi-
bility of and apparent necessity for
it. In view Of these facts and circum-
stances, my support Of the governor
after became satisfied his nomination
endangered the success Of the state. leg
islative and congressional tickets, could
not be justified because of personal
friendship for him I believed and do
still believe that the interest of the
state, and OF the party should be all
controlling.
The members Of the party had the
right to demand that 1 become a can
didate and / had the right and believe
it my duty to comply with this demand.
I became a candidate only when con-
WINGED that it was for the best inter
est of the party II is now for the party

Ex-sLAvEs HAVE ORGANIZED
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Held at
the Methodist Church.

Last night at the colored Methodist
| church on North Water street an asso-
citation of the ex-slaveS was formed.
Some sixty or siXty-five ex-slaves were
present and the meeting was an enthu-
Siastic one from start 10 finish. II
was an interesting sight and IL was stin
more interesting TO think of the condi-
tons by which they were at once sur
rounded. 1t was interesting TO think
that in this age OF civilization and en-
lightenment slavery could exist up un-
til thirty years ago in America.
The meeting was called to organize
| the aSSocia ton and take into considera-
ton a bill introduced in congress by
Senator Thurston, the object of which
is to pension eX-slaves. The bill is as
follows:
A bill to provide pensions Of freed
men, and so forth.
Be it enacted by the senate and house
OF representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled, That
all persons released from involuntary
servitude. commonly called slaves, IN
pursuance of the proclamations Of ex-
President Abraham lincoln. dated. re-
