But it is warning we utter. The
straight, honest and true Populists
now here have determined, by all the
powers they can command, by all the
energy they can exert, by all the in
spiration that can come from true ad-
herence of principle, to aim DEATH
BLOW at any party that will resort to the
debauchery of men and then use hose
men for the purpose of knifing those
who have trusted them as friends.
AS for Those men who call themselves
Populists and will allow themselves to
be thus used, their condemnation and
anathema will be severe enough from
among their own people.
As for the Republicans who have
used Harry skinner as tool for shap-
ing this combine and carrying it to
where it now stands, We have to say :
III you permit the full consummatio ion
Of the scheme, you do it AT THE PERIL
OF YOUR rARTY SALVATION, therefore,

PIANO BUYERS.

People who bought cheap consigned
Pianos, with promises Of free tuning"
and free lessons" and other induce
ments, should commence investigating
the probabilities of these promises be-
ing kept. 1t may be of some interest
to them, also, to find out WHERE the
NOTES, which they gave for payment
can be found. Those who gave notes
and surrendered instruments had bet
ter get back their notes, II they wish
to prevent trouble.
We have been steadily advising
against buying consigned Pianos;
against purchasing from irresponsible
and unknown Agents, and against CIV
ing notes for payments, which are
either sold or hypothecated, or trans
ferred to money lenders, or others.
People in misfortune, always deserve
sympathy, especially when they exer-
else ordinary precaution.
Piano buyers ought to know, that
We give better value for less money
than any other House in the south.
Besides we do not demand Notes,
while our guarantees are absolute pro-
lection. THOS. GOGGAN g. BROS.

HE MIXED ONE OF THE COWS.
stock. Therefore he milked one of the
cows which had just come in-an ordi-
nary brindqe COW.
When his little son Harold drank some
Of the milk he remarked on its peculiar
taste and odor. In alarm the father
tasted it, fearing that the COW had been
poisoned or was i'll. He, too, noticed
that the milk did not taste exactly as
1t should. 1t was sampled by each
member of the family. but while all
agreed that 1t did not taste right it was
some time before the cause of the Pc
culiar taste was reached Suddenly
the wife of the farmer said:
"Tll tell you what it tastes like
strawberries"
Thus reminded, each admitted that
the milk tasted strongly of strawber-
ries and the mystified farmer went TO
bed to think it over. The next day
when the cows were turned out to pas
ture he followed the one from which he
had taken the milk the night before
and found that on reaching the pasture
It went at once to one corner of the lot,
where there were immense strawberry
beds, and began grazing on the plants
The mystery Of the milk was thus ex-
planned and Simmerson realized that
he had a COW which gave strawberries
and cream. He learned from a veter-
mary that the strawberry plants could
not hurt the COW or poison the milk and
then he came to town with the story.
He says that the peculiar mixture of
strawberries and cream which the COW
gives makes the most excellent straw
berry Ice cream, without any further
preparation than freezing, and he now
values the COW at several hundred dol
lars. None of the other cows could be
induced to touch the strawberry plants
when led to the spot.

Ended Her Lie
An Unfortunate Woman Takes A
Dose Of Poison,
She Had A Lover, With Whom She
Quarreled-She Has A Father
In Colorado.

A wasted life was ended this
morning, when Leighla Marshall
died from the effects of a dose OF
poison self administered with sui
cidal intent. She came here
about three months ago and has a
father living in Trinidad, Col,
who has been notified of his
daughters death.
Upon arriving here she entered
the Home Of Refuge for Fallen
Women. She left this institu-
tion and lived with a woman at
COS West Houston street. Here
she was known as Monte La
Blanche. About a week ago
she changed her name to Monte
Jones and made her home at the
Two Sports saloon, corner of
Monterey and San Saba streets.
Here she lived until she died.
She had been respondent sever
al days, resulting from a quarrel
with her lover, whom she often
referred to as her "Only ray of
sunshine" The first sign of any
unusual manners about her was
noticed yesterday morning. She
began to froth at the mouth and
sank into state of unconscious
ness. A doctor was summoned,
and he worked on her all day.
He succeeded in reviving her and
she seemed to be on a way to re-
covery. She slept last night and
awOke this morning about 6
o'clock. She walked around but
was soon in another slumber,
but all efforts to arouse her were
in vain.
She was about 25 years of age.
1t is said that a sister of hers is
in a local house of ill-fame, but
that she ignored her entirely,
which was partly due to her des-
pondency.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral and the re-
mains are being held by Sheern
& Burnett pending instructions
from her father.
Nobody seems to know what
kind of poison she had taken,
but it is believed to have been
morphine.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE GONE CRAZY

Has the Chicago Tribune gone crazy
How dare it print such red-mouthed
anarchial sentiments as those given be-
low, taken from it's editorial page of
Wednesday. May 10:
There will be a feeling Of relief in
the financial world over the announce
ment that Russell Shylock Sage has
been paid the $50 he loaned his poor
nephew, Elizur Sage, in Joliet III. The
only security ShylOck had for this debt
was a mortgage on Elizur's homestead.
AS the time for repayment drew near
there appeared to be serious doubt
whether EliZur could raise the money
or not. Mrs. Sage is said to have WOr-
ried over the affair so much that she
even attempted suicide. Shylock doubt
less heard of this and must have been
filled with alarm. What if the entire
family should commit suicide in de-
spair, and thus put ShylOck to the
trouble of looking after this piece of
property and attending to its sale in
order to regain the money? But, hap
> proved grOundless. The money has
been raised and the debt discharged.
ShylOck is free to indulge a feeling of
satisfaction over his benevolence. He
realizes, of course, that his kinsfolk
have been are in dire distress; that in
order to pay back this loan promptly
they have been forced to go without
proper clothing and food; that the
poor. frail mother was driven to des-
peratiOn by the memorable demand of
ShylOck for his pound of flesh; and
that the struggling husband has made
every possible sacrifice in order to save
his home; but these are trivial details
to Shylock. He cannot count his mil
lions, but he knows that, whatever they
are, they are increased now by the ac-
cessiOn of $50, which is a material sat
isfactiOn to ShylOck incomparably
greater than any consideration for the
ties of blood.

LOVERS LOCKED BOXES.
A Practice That Goes on at the Tope.
ka Postoffice

The discovery has been made in the
Topeka postoffice that the lock boxes
are being used by young people for
the purpose Of carrying on their love
affairs
Many boxes are rented, to which
there are two keys The young man
carries one and gives the other to his
sweetheart. When he wishes to com
municate with her he mails a letter to
her, addressed to his box. She hap
pens along later and gets the letter
with her key and maybe mails an an
swer to him. When this is done it is
not a violation of the postal rules. If
they should put notes for each other in
the box it would be a violation and
make them liable to prosecution
There are several couples who avail
themselves of the opportunity of using
the lock boxes in the Topeka postoffice.
Some are probab bly, doing it because the
young lady's parents object to their
meeting, while others may not have
the opportunity of meeting each other
for other reasons. 1t is like the old
love box in the trunk of the willow tree
in school DAYS.

WHO'S ar FAULTP

Mr.. John Wanamaker OF Philadelphia
and New York is doubtless suffering
the pangs of disappointed ambition. and
is naturally a little cross over his fail
ure to be elected to the United States
senate. If the things that he has been
saying publicly recently, however, are
true and few will deny that they are so
in a large measure, it matters not by
what motives he was actuated in giving
them utterance.
Mr.. Wanamaker says that he pleaded
with the people to vote against Bryan,
promising them that not only the tariff
but the currency question would be ia
ken up by the Repu bIicans and pushed
TO a satisfactory conclusion. The sue
cessOr of A. T. Stewart was not alone
in this. The same sort of speech was
made all over the country.
Mr.. Mckinley won his election not
alone on the campaign speakers prom
ises that he would reform the tariff, but
on their promises that he would reform
the tariff and the currency and do it
quickly. Neither the promises nor the
failure to carry them out can justly be
laid at the presidents door. He was
not a party to the promises except to
the extent of silent acquiescence, but
he has probably done the best he could
to make good the word of Mr.. Wanna
maker and the rest of his friends. The
trouble is they promised too much and
the people believed too easily.
Nobody seems TO have reekoned on
house of representatives composed of
men each of whom has as his CHIEF aim
a reelection next year These gentle
men would perhaps say to the man who
is remembered for raising $406, 900 for
the Harrison campaign fund, that the
president is taking care of the currency
question. And has he not sent a COM
mission of able financiers to Europe to
arrange for a reform of the currency
just as it was promised he would do?
What more can the country ask?
Youraverage memberOf the majority
In congress has no intention of mixing
up in any legislative action which is Ii
able to influence his reelection as long
as it is not necessary. The tariff he
could not escape. When it becomes i'm
possible to longer avoid the currency
question, and retain any hope of a re-
election, it will be taken up also.
Mr.. Wanamaker has been in politics
enough to know that all political parties
make the public good secondary to par
~ advantage. 1t would not be good
politics for the party in control of the
government to move any faster in the
election, knowing as its leaders do that
the currency will be the issue in the
next campaign as it was in the last.

JOE WATERS NEW SPEECH
One of the Best in His Life to Be
Made at a Commencement.

Capt. J. G. Waters is preparing to make
a departure in oratory. He has never
before been called upon to make the
address at school commencement exer-

The invitation comes from the Frank
fort high school and it goes without say
ing that it was accepted as soon as re-
ceived. The address will be delivered on
June 3 and this is what Captain Waters
says about his preparation which has al
ready been commenced:
7 have ordered new black suit for
the occasion and do not intend to wear
it until June 3. I will be attired in black
of the most clerical style. I shall at
tempt to look as dignifed as possible.
shall not smile for two weeks before the
event takes place. I shall make every
effort to educate myself up to the dig
nifty of the position
Il am not much of a hand to toot my
own horn but when l say that this speech
will be the best have ever made know
what 1 am talking about. The graduates
will be expecting some advice from me
and they will get it. 1t may be sur
prsing in some particulars but I intend
to adhere strictly to the truth. The trou-
BILE with graduation speeches is that the
men who make them soar away into the
clouds. I will not do that. Those who
hear me will be able to understand my
