cover of making the BUcksK1S

The Kansas republicans who
raised such hue and cry over the
imprisonment of ex-coDsul Waller,
the negro who has just been released
from French prison for attempting
to steal tn island of Madagascar,
can right the wrong done the individ-

at large from the state of Kansas to
the national republican convention.
William Wright the negro who
butchered his wife with an ak in the
streets of Nevada, was to have been
hung in that city Friday, but an ap-
peal of the case to the supreme
court stayed the hand of the execu

muder was brutal and horrible IN its
nature the condemned can hardly
hope for favorable consideration
from the upper court.

is glad of the opportunity to once
