seven races run off at Ingleside today, one
OF which was a match race between ho-
bart's Gold Coin and Jessie Sturgill, at
half mile. The former, which was l to
favorite, won very easily.
In the mile and sixteenth handicap,
McNaughton & Mur's chestnut horse
Semper Lex, after trailing behind the field
Tor over mile, came on and won handIly
from Star Ruby, which was two lengths in
front of Pepper. The victory of Semper
Lex proves conclusively that he would have
won had he not been fouled last Friday, as
he was pitted against the same horses to-
day. Ransom and Gold Coin were the
only winning favorites, long shots and

TOPEKA, Kan. April l6.-The mem-

because he refuses to say how he

vote against Mckinley, they will not
say: but they hint at it broadly and
try to convey the impression that
those delegates would violate their
instructions before they would violate
the oath taken in the lodge room.

he has been vomitingly drunk, and he
is unfit to be in charge Of men,"

nent citizens of Leavenworth who tes-
tilted that they had seen Smith in a
state of i~ntoNication repeatedly. He
said that Smith was proprietor Of the
biggest saloon in Kansas, and that

the Kelley League, with the saloon
and the league meeting place occupy
ing adjoining rooms.

man named Williams, who said that

Kelley league, got a salary of 81, 200
a year, and that Kelley got Sc for
every man in the home to whom the
treatment was given, while the man

SEDALIA, Mo-. April l6.-The cree
silver leaders mad another conference
last night, and after it was over an
nounced that they had prevailed on
Silver Dick Bland to allow the con-
yention to instruct for him for tine
Democratic nomination for President.
Those in attendance say chat Bland.
who was extremely modest, would lot
agree to the proposed instructions
until convinced that if he persisted in
refusing scores Of delegates wslld go
away sorely disappointed. Finally it
was agreed that such a resolution
should be presented to the convention
by Governor Stone himself, and that
the governor should make a speech in
n Chicago convention placing BANDS
name before the national Democracy
in his OWL peculiar way.
Another result of the caucus was an
agreement that before the delegates
to the national convention should be
elected the convention should adopt a
resolution that it would not ratify any
selection of delegates by district dele
gates unless the men selected should
first declare for free silver. This was
to head off the election of c. G. Ma!titt
and Ex-Governor Francis as Delegates
from st. Louis. TO prevent a fight it
was agreed in Maffitt's district that
Mafitt should be delegate, but that
the other delegate should be "a silver
man.
In view Of the accepted fact that
Bland will be Endorsed for the presi-
dency his name will be withdrawn as
delegate-at-large, and ex-Congressrnan
w. III. Hatch Of Hannibal will doubt

When Bell closed, Mahitt went to
the edge of the platform and calling
Nick Bell to him, said: s.When did
you CHANGE

anger.
A secretary came forward and
handed Nick Bell a glass of water. He
took it with trembling hand and sud
denly rose IN his tlptoes and hurled
the water into Matfitt's face.
The water drenched Mafitt who
made q move to jump on Bell. Bell
threatened to throw the glass at him
and said: "You can't pick q row with
