Quite a pretty wedding was solemnlZed
at the Presbyterian church Wednesday
afternoon. The church was artistIcallv
decorated for the occasion. The altar
banked with palms and crysanthemHms
formed IL beautiful background for the
bridal party.
Before the hour announced for the
ceremony the church was filled with
friends of the bride and groom. Promptly
at 1 o'clock strains of the accompani-
ment to "Oh, Promise Me- were heard
and this beautiful solo was never sung
more effectively than by Miss Elizabeth
Smith on this occasion. The ceremony
performed, by Rev. A. s.: Motfett, was a
very impressive one, after which the
newly welded pair retired from the
altar to the strains of Memberships
wedding march.
The bride is one of L~exington's most
charming young ladies and will be
greatly missed. She is a daughter of
Mrs. Ann Helen Clagett, and has
q host of friends. Besides being an
accomplished young lady she is an
earnest christian, being an active worker
in the Presbyterian church.
Mr.. BasSett, whose home is In st.
Joseph, in addition to other sterling
qualities, possesses fine business ability.
The bride wore q travelling gown of
brown camel's hair, brown hat and
gloves, and a bouquet of white crysan-
themums completed the stylish cos
tune. She was attended by Misses
Minna Bassett and Jennie Gregg, of st.
Joseph, Misses Mary Vaughan, Martha
Crenshaw, Bessie Huston, and Mary
Wilson,, of Lexington as bridesmaids,
all charmingly attired and carrying
bouquets of pink crysanthemums.
The bride and groom received con-
g~ratulations in h church vestibule,
after which they left Immediately for
st. Louis. They will be at home in st.
Joseph after November. 18th.

ANOTHER SANTA FE MOVE.

Solicitors for the Company Go Before
Ju dye Foster and Get a Restraining Or
der.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, Nov. 10.-The
solicitors for the Santa Fee Railroad
Co. appeared before Judge Foster, of
the federal court in this city, yester.
day and applied for a temporary in
junction restraining Charles f. john
son, who was recently appointed re-
ceiver of the Kansas property of that
company, from taking possession of
the property. They also filed a cross
bill, and allege that Judge Myers, of
jefferson county. appointed the re-
eeiver by an ex parte proceeding, with
out allowing the defendant company a
hearing, and that he has no jurisdic-
tion in the case.
The constitutionality of the Kansas
ownership vas accomplished, is also at
tackled. The point raised is h a the
company's property in Kansas, COM
prising 4S7 miles of track, which is
now in the receivers hands, is an in
terstate enterprise, and is governed by
national legislation, and that it is a
carrier of the United States mails and
is therefore beyond the reach of any
state law attempting to effect its owns
ership. 1t is also asked by the solio-
itor that Mr.. Johnson be removed as
receiver. Judge Foster granted a
temporary restraining order. The
hearing of the application is set for
November % at Topeka.

AFTER GAME IN AFRICA.
Large Hunting Party Organizes wit
Science as a Side show.

Large Hunting Party Organizes with
Science ~ Q Side SHOW.
Parties of 20 or 25 men on the lookout
for big game, and ready to go to the ends
of the earth in search of il, are not an
everyday spectacle in this country.
There is at present, however, an expe-
dition of this kind under way, the MEM
bers of which hope to start from Amer
lea for the Dark continent. There, in
the hRpnts of the elephant, gorilla,
chimpanzee, ~hippopotamus, and deer.
they expect to do their best in the way
of decimating the native fauna.
The expedition is not to be entirely
to- sport, however, Science usually has
its share of the best nowadays, and this
party is not to be without its representa-
tives. Two men,at least, will go whose
main object, instead of slaughter of tho
guileless gorilla, the earth-shaking ele-
plant, and n score of minor beasts, will
be to further the progress of science.
Frank Hegger, photographer, one of
the party, said: Prof. William Garner,
who mnde himself we'll known through
his long and novel sojourp in a cage in
the heart of an African jungle In study
of the language of the gorilla and chin
panzee, expects to be one of the party.
He is on cordial terms with the govern
ment officials and the traders along the
coast, and is thoroughly familiar with
the country, the natives and the haunts
of the game. According to our present
arrangements, the voyage will cover a
period of four months and n distance ~
about 1900 miles. 1t will include y
visit TO the Canary islands, Sierra Leone,
the Gold Coast, Gabooe apd q trip up the
Ogowe and the Congo.
"by this plan the party is assured of
ut least one month of the finest hunting
IN the world. If any of the party wishes
to prolong this hunting period to seven
weeks, he may 20 so by emitting the
trip up the Congo. without any addI-
tional cost. The hunting field to which
the party will be taken abounds in all
sorts of game. Within u radius of 20
miles are scorrs of elephants, hundreds
of buffaloes. herds Of deer and vast num-
bers of wild hogs. There are hippo
potami. leoFards, panthers, bush cats, |
civet cntg, porcupines, armadillos, croe.
odiles, schools Of monkeys and the
gorilla and chimpanzee. In addition to
all Of these animals there are plenty of
phrasaats, quail, ibis, cqrlew and mara

BUFFERS MANIFESTO.
The Populist National Chairman's Ofhcial
Address to His Party.

The Populist National Chairman's OfaclRl
Address to His Party.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Senator But
Ter, of North Carolina, chairman of the
populist national committee, has is
sued the following manifesto:
To the people of the United States: In the
remarkable campaign just closed the peoples
party was the only party that supported solidly
and unitedly the great and vital issues repre-
scented in the candidacy Of Mr.. Bryan. This
was natural. for the peoples party came into
existence to bring to the front and to press to
victory the principles OF Lincoln and Jefferson,
already long discarded by the two old parties.
The money power feeling reasonably sure Of
its control and domination OF the leaders and
the controlling influences In the republican
party, in 1892 gave its supper to the candi-
dacy of Grover Cleveland for the especial pur-
pose of having him, through the use OF patron
age and otherwise, crush out the silver senti-
ment in the south and make the leaders In that
party as completely subservient as those in
the republican party. To complish this pur-
pose four cabinet ministers were selected from
the south and an unusually large amount OF
patronage used on political leaders to the same
end. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Cleve-
land demanded that the democratic senators
and congressman give n decisive vote in the In
terests of the gold standard before he would
deign to give out the post ofhces. This deep
laid plan might have succeeded had not the
peoples party ut this %juncture sprung into ex-
istence, exposed the plot, stood in the breach
and appealed to the patriotic hosts of both
parties to check the scheme Of the peoples
despoilers and rally to the common defense.
The peoples party with q high patriotism
and an unselhsh devotion to principle, greater
than ever before exhibited by any other party,
stepped outside OF its organization to throw
its 1000, 900 votes solidly for Bryan. Had not
more than this number OF those who called
democrats in 1892 given their sup
port to Mr.. Mckinley, the cause OF the people
and American principles would have tri-
umphed this year. This class will surely sup
port the party of mouopolies and trusts in the
future. Their places in the ranks of the reform
hosts must be taken by patriotic republicans.
In fact, Bryan would have been elected in this
had even 25,0O0 more silver republicans
come to the rescue.
The peoples party has made this possible
in fact inevitable. The position OF the peo-
pies party in this great contest has convinced
every patriotic American that the party can be
trusted to stand for the principles Of good gov
eminent and the interests of the people under
any and all circumstances. Therefore. the
peoples party will be the nucleus around
which the patriotic hosts must and will gather
to redeem n betrayed republic and to restore
to an oppressed and outraged peo-
pie, MARION BUTLER,
Chairman Peoples Party National Commit
