INTENDED TO RETURN.
NcNaspy Tells an Editor How He
Lost Heart.

A. M. Crazy, Of the Herington
Times, an old friend and neighbor OF
Jrmes McNaspy, tells of visit he
made to him last week. He says:
"We fonnd Mr.. McNaspy looking
about ten years older than when he
left here six months ago. He inform
ed us that when he left Herington for
Topeka he as much expected to return
as he did to live. but upon bis failure
to get money there to straighten up
at home and to meet demands already
pressing him, he lost heart and made
up bis mind for the first time that he
could not nor would not return home
and tell his creditors the condition
that his affairs were in. He says that
he carried away a little over hun
bred dollars with him and that was
all the money he had had since that
time. While talking about his family
and the trouble it has brought upon
them he cried like child and said be
cared thousand times more about
them than he did about himself"

Dakota's Blizzard Gives Central
Kansas a Touch.

The cold wave predicted Saturday
came In on schedule time and in full
force. Within few hours the mer-
curry dropped about 50 degrees and
the farmers who had driven in several
miles to do some spring shopping
went home in badly CONCEALED con-
dition. Saturday night the tempera-
ture dropped to A below zero, A de-
gress colder than it ever registered
during 1896. During last winter the
coolest day was Jan. 2, when it was
even zero. Sunday was very good
imitation of northern Alaska day
and Sunday night showed little i'm
provement, the lowest temperature
being even zero. 1t has warmed up
slightly today and the worst is prob
ably over. While the snap was a
cold one the wind was not high and
little snow fell. The Dickinson
county is too well prepared to suffer
and no reports of bad effects have
been received.

THE REWARDED CONVERT.
Something About the Man Who Beat
Cranston.

This is the political pedigree OF the
man for whom Gov. Leedy turned
down b. C. Cranston, as given by the
Capital: "McNall had been an active
Republican all his life until defeated
as delegate to the national convention
last summer. In 1890 he was the Re-
publican nominee for congress in the
Sixth district and was badly beaten
He still labored for the cause OF Re
publicanism, however, and was a can
didate for almost any office under
Gov. Morrill's gift but failing to re-
ceive anything he became the bitterest
enemy Of the late governor and his
administration in the State. For two
years he did little else but travel
from place to place endeavoring to or
ganize the opposition to the govern
or's denomination. When the Sixth
district congressional convention was
held McNall was prominent candi-
date for delegate to the st. Louis con-
vention, but was beaten by narrow
majority. This proved the last straw
and he soon after came out strong for
reform and stumped the State for the
Popocrat state and national tickets"
1t Is said that his selection was deter
mined on two weeks ago, yet only
Saturday the governor told Mr.
Cranston that nothing was fixed.
Leedy i, sly very sly and the silver
Republicans have found the way to
work him.

the Fifth district had no candidate on

HARRIS LUCK AT ABILENE.
How Boyle Was Prevented From
Making q Speech

Everybody who attended the swell
tering sessions Of the Populist conven-
ton last summer remembers the
rambling, inane mannerin which COL
Harris was placed in nomination for
governor before the balloting began,
The Topeka Capital tells the story
thus: At St. Louis in July, while at
tending the Populist national conven-
ton, Mr.. Harris selected L. G. Boyle
of Fort Scott, who is now attorney
general, to put him in nomination be-
fore the Abilene convention. Mr..
Boyle went home and at once began
the preparations of his speech. He is
a splendid orator and his friends look
ed for him to make an effort OF un-
usual excellence upon this particular
occasion, for besides nominating his
friend Harris for governor, Mr..
Boyle hoped to add force to his own
boom for attorney general. Mr.. Har-
ris informed the Leavenworth county
delegation that Mr.. Boyle would put
him in nomination and all was set for
the speech. Unexpectedly the con-
vention voted to call for nomin-
atoms by congressional districts
instead Of by counties. But
this was not necessarily an Interrupt
ton to the program, if one Quincy
Baldwin of Leavenworth county had
not broken in at the call of the First
district with rambling, incoherent
speech, SO lily prepared that he forgot
to name Mr.. Harris as his candidate.
Harris's friends were amazed and
Boyle was disguised. But still there
was hope. Boyle belonged to the
Second district and he could make his
speech as a second to Harris's nomi-
nation. But he was disappointed.
A Jefferson county farmer broke loose
with the second speech for Harris and
as the rules of the convention barred
more than two speeches for any one
candidate, Mr.. Boyle's was not de-
livered. Afterwards Mr.. Boyle was
joked good deal, but Mr.. Harris
good naturally said that II the speech
had been delivered he would have
been nominated.
The incident was forgotten after a
while, but Wednesday night Mr..
Boyle, while Mr.. Harris was receiving
the congratulations of his friends,
penciled him note saying; ut is
well that | did not deliver that
speech"
Cline has its rewards" wrote Mr..
Harris below and handed it back to
his friend.
