Cannon For the Higginsville Home

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Senator
Vest to-day introduced a bill author
izing the Secretary of the Navy to
donate two condemned cannons to the
Confederate Home at Higginsville,
Mo. This Is something of a departure
from custom, which has generally
been to award these cannons to homes
for Federal soldiers and for G. A. r.
cemeteries. The discussion of the bill
may bring about some partisan or
sectional expressions.

EXPERIMENTING WITH x RAYS.
Successful Tests of Roentgen's Dis
covery at the State University.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, March 6.-Under
the direction of DIR. William Shrader,
dean of the electrical department of
the State University, experiments are
being conducted with the cathode or
X rays, which are receiving consider
able attention from scientific men
through the recent discoveries OF
Roentgen. Charles e. Young and w.
S. Cope, students in the electrical en-
cheering department., who in the alb
sence of DIR. Shrader, r conducting
the experiments, have been very sue
cessful in photographing different OBJ
jects through solid matter. The first
experiment was the only one that was
not successful. The last plate devel-
oped shows very distinctly the skele-
ton of a mouse, the lead in a pencil
and spectacles in a leather case. This
last plate had been exposed two hours.
DIR. Shrader is also commencing a
series of experiments along lines en-
tirely different from the Roentgen or

yesterday morning in The Republican.
 When the verdict was rendered the prisoner, who had been confronted for months by the horrible vision of the gallows or possible imprisonment for life, walked from the court room free man.
 The government was represented by United States District Attorney Ellin- wood and the prisoner not having any funds, the court appointed Attorneys T. B. F'lannigan and A. J. Edwards to defend the prisoner The prosecution made a noble effort and introduced damaging circumstantial evidence. The principal witness was a druggist at Yuma who testified that on the night West killed the Indian he observed the former leave cabin and go to wood pile and return with a stick in his hand. He next heard angry words and some talk about money. Later the sound of blows reached him and a few seconds after West passed from the cabin and walked within fifteen feet of him. The druggists house was but short distance from the cabin and after West left he took lantern and went over to the cabin. He found an Indian lying prostrate on the ground, but he thought the fellow was drunk and did not examine him closely. The next morning the body was found, the

A BRILLIANT DEFENSE Two Young Attorneys
 Win a Case. Verdict of Not Guilty in the West Murder Case. The Jury Brings In a Verdict After Being Out for Three
 Hours.

The jury filed into the stuffy court room that was packed with humanity and took their places in the jury box. As they did so the court room was si- lent, for all waited with bated breath the verdict of the twelve good and true men upon whose decision rested a mans life. The prisoner wore an anxious expression, but not more so than the two young legal lights who made a gallant fight for his liberty. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you ar rived at verdict?" asked Judge Baker.
 The foreman slowly rose and said that the verdict was mot guilty. The prisoner gave vent to long pent up sigh of relief and the two young legal lights who cleared him were showered with the congratulations of their brother attorneys and the spec tatorS.
 The case was that of Daniel West, on trial for his life, charged with the mur- der of an Indian at Yuma last Decem- Der, an account of which was given

LADY SHOLTO'S R.
Her Uncertain Reception at Tony Pas
 tors Theater.

An Associated Press Dispatch from New York says: ''If the marquis ever encounters his daughter-in-law's ac- cent, we shall have new set of rules. Lady Sholto Douglas R when it was heard at Tony Pastors this evening, was as determined as a bronco pony and broad enough for bicycle seat. But she says 'nyther, which may save her with her lords aristocratic friends, but never with audiences at Tony Pas tors.
 ''When Lady Sholto came on tonight, her ebony hair hanging down her back in a braid over the girlish and somewhat bony shoulders, and some of the Queensberry pearl beads swinging over her right ear like prize ribbon, and an engaging expression of youth and modesty, emphasized by rather slender neither limbs and more gener- ous developments within decolette dress, Pastors gasped for breath.
 'fShe began to sing in childish voice of weak and uncertain quality, little ditty commencing so: Won't you play house with me?" Every man in the audience at once comprehended how she had done young Sholto's bus mess. But Pastors was cold to the future countess Lady Douglas re- treated into the flies and gulped down little water. Returning in moment with more ginger in her style she sang, We gurre,s of today are not like gurrels of old' At this point she capered about in a way that once may have suited her style when she was known as Little Maggie Mooney but which for Lady Shoito is an awkward attempt at abandon, and resulted in one of her garter buckles falling tC the stage with loud clatter The cal cium was turned on the jewe,ed buckle and sparks of brilliancy twinkled about Lady Sholto's feet. From that mo- ment her success was assured.
 Abe Hummell entered Tony Pastor box and handed Mrs. Pastor three gor- geous peonies. Mrs. Pastor threw the flowers at the garter buckle. An usher hurried down the aisle with an i'm mense basket of roses. Lady Sholtc

face being badly bruised. After the killing West told several people that he had killed an Indian and was going to kill another, and on that admission and the testimony of the druggist he was arrested for the crime.
 The attorneys for the prisoner tried to establish that the deed was done solely in self-defense, as was already stated in yesterdays paper.
 The prosecution occupied an hour in the argument, which was very con- vincing and forcible and made things look dark for the prisoner. Attorney Flannigan followed in three-quarters of an hours speech. He made the speech of his life and those who heard him making his brave defense for his client were struck by his earnestness and force of delivery. He was followed by his co-laborer, A. J. Edwards, who also made a convincing talk. This made things look brighter for West.
 The jury was out three hours and on the first ballot six stood for acquittal and five for murder, with one blank On the final ballot verdict of not guilty was arrived at, as already stated.
 It was great victory for the young lawyers and one of which they are i'm. mensely proud, and we'll they might for they are about the youngest prac. titioners in the county.

IL was a great day for white goods and there is now a strong probability that within few days nearly every lady in Phoenix will be dressed in white. And what is more appropriate or suitable?

In addition to being suggestive of purity and quiet simplicity, clinging about even the p.ainest of white gowns that makes the feminine wearer irresistible Although the sale yestrday was a lit tie hard on the supply, Alkire's still are able to meet calls for white goods and will take pleasure in still further reducing their stock at bargain fig ureS

Young Mr.. Russell Wants the Chicago Con-

New York, April 2s.-Ex-Governor
William Z. Russell, whom the Demo-
Gratis of Massachusetts, have entered IN
the coming presidential race as their
favorite son and candidate, has fatty
stated his views at to the Democratic
political principles which should obtain
in the coming campaign In response
to questions asked him, he made the
following statement tonight over his
own signature:
Il am greatly surprised TO hear that

dorsement by my state, l am not seek

of being the candidate, nor do l wish
any movement made in any state IN my
interest.
ION the contrary, 1 have earnestly re-
ouested that no such movement be
made in any other state by any friend
of mine. My belief IS that It IS all I'M
portant that when the Chicago conVen-
ton meets its delegates should be aIo-
Ssolutely free to deliberate and act,
clear of all Instructions or pledges OF
even expressed preferences-at least so
far as 1 am concerned i do not know
that any movement personal TO me Is
contemplated. If 1t is ! request and

THE important thing now Is TO make
every effort to have the Democratic
party take an absolutely sound posi-
ton, without evasion or compromise.
believe this is Of vital consequence TO
the party for its present and its fu-
tune.
II am firmly of the opinion, as 1 have
recently said, that our national plat
form ought explicitly and emphatical-
w to oppose the free coinage OF silver,
or its compulsory purchase, or any COM
promise legislation in that direction and
that II ought to endorse and commend
the administration Of Cleveland for Its
resolute work in maintaining our pres

Everything goes to show that he VIII

ZION of cashier of the Wyandotte Ma
tionaI bank yesterday and last night
admitted that his time from now on I'M
I'll the Lawrence convention would be
occupied in swinging about the district
in the interest of seating the anti-Bu-
chan delegation.
The action of Mr.. Trickett in resign
ing the cashiership of the bank and
the fact that he will be a candidate for
congress will be a surprise TO the poll
ticians of the Second district. Yester-
day morning it was limited that a po-
Htical sensation was on the tapis but
few had any idea of what was coming.
When the anti-Buchan convention
walked out of the room. delegation
was held, after the Buchan delegates
was made up to support ''Wyandotte
county man" ar the Lawrence conven-
ton 1t has been somewhat mystery
who that 'Wyandotte county man"
would be since that time This mys-
terry was solved last evening, however
when the delegation made Mr.. Trickett
its candidate. The launching of the
Trickett boom will no doubt complicate
matters in this district. States that
have been made up will be broken and
a new order OF things will have TO be
arranged
Ever since the county convention
many of the anti-Buchen men have been
been giving considera ole trouble. They
were charged with trying 10 defeat the
only candidate Wyandotte county had.
W. ]. BGchan- They claimed that this
was not true and that they would not
they have done now. What the outcome
produce man at the proper time. This
will be is hard to tell. Ex-Mayor Ma
thaniel Barnes has been accused, among
other things, of sidetracking this coun-
~ in the congressional fight. He has
been against Mr.. Buchan, for a long
time and always maintains that anoth-
er Wyandotte county man would be in
the race. He and Mr.. Buchan fell out
when the congressional committee met
and fixed the dates for the Lawrence
and Ottawa conventions. He was a
candidate for district delegate to the
st. Louis convention. He had a sus-
picion that 0Ir. Buchan gave him the
worst of it by setting the date of the
district convention after the congress
ional convention. He decided not to
take chance on the district delegate
ship and went out after the place az
delegate-at-large he was assisted in
his canvass by Trickett and won, and
from that time on he has been working
for Trickett and against Buchan. He
stated last evening that he believed that
Trickett was a candidate for congress
ever since the Wichita convention and
he wanted TO pay him back for services
rendered him in his candidacy.
At the close of banking hours last
evening the board Of directors of the
Wyandotte National bank held a meet
ing when Mr.. Trickett rendered his res
ignation to take effect at once. The
board accepted it, but did not fill the va
cancy at the meeting.
