MUCH EXCITEMENT
In 'Kanawha County Over the Mcdonald
Case

Case.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, w Va, September 26.-
Since the miscarriage Of justice by the
disagreement Of the jury in the Nc
Donald case, the feeling among the
people of the county against Mcdonald
is very strong, and has almost reached
a frenzy. Stupendous frauds and corr
ruption have been proven, but on aci
count of the stubbornness Of two Cd
the jurors Mcdonald goes free and still
holds the Office or county commis1
sioner. There are numerous rumoz
and insinuaticns that the two obstinaM
jurymen were bribed, but 1t has not
been shown to be true. The trial will
be begun again as soon as possible
and the next time great care will ID
used in the selection OF jury.

Truly the greatest melodrama of the

of the highest character, and has re-

press and clergy. 1t will be seen at
the Grand Opera House for three days,
commencing September 30th, with the
usual Saturday matinee.
Lincoln J. Carter, the young Chica-

Fast Mall is remarkable young fell

own play-and it's a good one of it's
class-he acts principal part and does
it well, he paints all his own scenery,
constructs all his elaborate mechanical
effects, and designs all the pictorial
work used for advertising THE Fast

who creates his own career without
trampling over anybody else. "The
Fast MALI is the most successful of
all his productions This year there is
but one company on the road, contain

Manager F. Reister, of the Opera

that popular play house next Satur-

whether a matinee performance will
be given. He will produce "Old In

his very clever representations in 'Sir

undoubtedly one Of the best comedians
upon the American stage, and he is
certain to be greeted by large audi
ences in this city. He will be remem-

The enterprise Of Manager Feinler.
of the Grand, was demonstrated in
striking manner last night. Excava-
tons are being made on Twelfth
street for the tracks OF the new cleo
trio railway, and Mr.. Feinler secured
permission of the contractor to place
his big advertising wagon in the ditch.
Last night the wagon was lighted with
a row OF electric lights, calling atten-
ton to the companies booked for the
week, and it attracted general atten-
ton.
The James Young company had n
hard time in reaching Wheeling in
time for the matinee performance Sat
urday. Some unreliable information
was given about trains, and at Nor
gantown the company realized that it
would miss connections for Wheeling.
Mr.. Young worked the wires and Sc.
cured a special train over the B. &, O.
from Morgantown to Fairmont. The
train made such fast time that the
members of the company were fright.
ened, but they reached Fairmont in
time TO catch the train they were
after.

Judge Andrews RenOmlnated.

The Populist Judicial Convention in
the Thirty-third district convened at
Ness City last Thursday. Resolutions
were adopted congratulating tire reform
forces on the excellent fight made last
fall and pledging continuation Of the
fight, points with pride to the efforts Of
Populist Judges who have exercised
their power for individuals instead Of
corporations, favoring direct legislation,
expressing sympathy with the Cubans,
favoring just and liberal pensions for the
soldiers, indorsing Governor Leedy's veto
of the Senate railroad bill and indorsing
his determination to enforce laws and to
decline to interfere in pardon cases.
An informal ballot was then taken for
Judge. 1t resulted: Andrews %, A. G..
Dyer 7, w. H. Stidger l, w. D. Wash
ington 4. Mr.. Pancake Of Scott had de-
Clined, and Mr.. Washington Of Wichita
withdrew after the informal ballot. The
first formal ballot resulted in the nomi-
nation Of Judge Andrews, the vote being
Andrews 4S, Dyer l. On motion Of Mr..
Dyer the nomination was made unani-
nous. After a few remarks by Judge
Andrews, a splendid address was made
by J. M. Senter, chief clerk Of the Rail
road Commission. Mr.. Senter always
acquits himself creditably and his speech
was very pleasing one.

Republican state League.

The Republican State League held it's
annual convention at Topeka last Thurs
day. The attendance was not as large
as usual. This is said to be due to the
fact that the railroads are not now issu-
ing many passes. The air was filed with
rumors of fight on Cy Leland because
Of his failure to provide the League with
any funds last year and because he is re-
ported to have said that the League only
did business in off years-barked when
there was nothing in sight. The fight
did not materialze. It is alleged that
Leland had previously arranged matters
so that enough Of his friends got passes
to control the meeting and that the
other fellows, seeing there was no hope
for them, decided not to open the fight.
Delegates were elected TO the National
meeting and resolutions were adopted
congratulating the country on it's return
TO Republicansm. 1t was also solemnly
affirmed in the resolutions that prosper
ity was already in evidence in this coun-
try. OF course no one believed this last
statement, and it was probably not ex-
pected that anyone would.
E. r. Caldwell of Lawrence succeeded
E. H. Madison Of Dodge City as Presi.
dent of the League. j. e. Larimer Of
Topeka was elected Secretary. Senator
Berry of Illinois made a speech. This
speech, if made in every school house in
Kansas, would obviate the necessity for
the making Of any campaign at all by
the opposition to the Republicans. His
speech was very much on the order Of
that Of young Stephen A. Douglas, who
came to Kansas last fall and told audi,
enCes that he had been sent out to edu-
cate the heather. The League meeting
was really conference Of oilice-seekers,
and as such it seemed to be a success.

RepublIcans HOW About NOthlng.

The Republican papers are wasting
liberal quantities of ink over what they
term another terrible blunder of the
last Legislature. For years lot Of
useless sections have numbered the
statute books. The Legislature had
ordered a compilation Of the statutes,
and a bill introduced by Senator Far
rely, which was supposed to repeal all
useless laws, was passed. 1t now ap-
pears that the bill contained sections
repeating provisions for several Judi.
cisl districts, Republicans attempt to
make 1t appear that half Of the Judi
cial districts In the State are affected
AS a matter of fact, there are but
four districts which are not provided
for or recognized by laws passed sub
sequent to the passage of those re-
pealed. These districts are the EleV
enth, Twenty. first, Thirty fourth and
Thirty fifth. 1t is the unanimous Opin-
ion of lawyers that the repeal bill, so
far as 1t affects districts which are not
otherwise provided for, is void, The
title Of the bill provides for the repeal
of redundant, obsolete and inOpera-
tive" laws. The repeal Of laws which
are so necessary as those providing for
the organization of Judicial districts
could not be held by any court to be
in harmony with the title Of the bill.
The members of the Legislature are
practically blsmeless in the matter.
The work of preparing the bill was en-
trusted to experienced lawyers, and
the members, relying on their knoWl-
edge of what was and what was not
law, voted for the bill. So far as the
repeal sections are concerned, they
will occasion no trouble to Htigants
who go into the courts alleged to be
affected,

Leland as a Corporation Agent.

1t has been charged that Cy Leland
went to the publishers Of the Topeka
Mail and Breeze, which was the official
paper during the time that the Legisla-
ture was in session, and offered them
$50 to hold back the publication Of the
stock yards bill for one week at least and
longer if possible. Mr.. McNeal, one Of
the editors of that paper, admits in a
newspaper interview that the offer was
made to him and that it was minated
that if he would not be satisfied with
$50 more money would be forthcoming.
MIR. Capper, the owner of the paper, also
admitted in an interview that Leland
had made such an offer. What was the
object in having the bill held up is not

Some days ago the following was
clipped from some Kansas POpulist
paper, but no credit was then made,
and 1t is now impossible to state whose
matter it is, but 1t is all right just the
same: "The Republican press are very
much worried for fear the POpullsts

We placed Allen there against the
will of the Republican party, and we

has filed so far with honor and integ'
rlty."
The Populist Central Committee of
Barber County met June II and passed
resolutions opposing fusion on the
ground that reform would never be
secured by compromising principles
for temporary advance. Resolutions
were also adopted COndemning ex-
Governor Lewelling's course In the
last Legislature, commanding the
course Of Senator Titus, expressing
confidence In the honor and integ-
rity of Senator Titus and Warden
Lands, and demanding the resigns-
tion Of all legislators who were un'

Some time ago Webb McNsll or

charters did not authorize them to
write hail insurance to stop taking
such risks. This was matter of pro-

companies would take advantage Of
them in cases of heavy losses by refus-
ing to pay. Now Republican papers
are blaming McNall with the loss every
time farmer is hailed out, These
sensstionslists ought to know that
McNall's order was such that it left
plenty of strong companies Ptill doing
business in Kansas and that 1t was the

RepublIcans Rejoice.


Courier, Chairman Outcalt OF the in.
vestigating committee, after giving Che
report Of the committee, says that the
Republican member, Grimes, coached
by Republican leaders, attempted to
throw suspicion on every act Of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Outcalt says that the COM
mittee was hampered in various ways
and that the daily press assaulted the
committee with attacks on it's legality
and powers aud on its members person
ally. He calls attention to the presence
Of prominent Republican leaders at every
sitting of the committee and assumes
that they were present because Of fear
that testimony would be developed
which would necessitate the guarding OF
individual and party interests. Mr..
Outcalt says that he was in possession
of letter giving the whole plan Of the
corporation Hobbies. That the book
companies, the stock yards, the insurance
companies and the railroads each had
lobby which acted in concert. The
letter states that Cy Leland was at the
head of these lobbies and that it was the
intention to defeat the Jaquins stock
yards bill in the Senate, but that it
failed because of the action Of Jumper
and Titus.
Continuing, Chairman Outcalt says:
"Facts came to the knowledge of Chair
man Outcalt which proved Lelsnd's con-
nection with the deal and implicated
Judge Horton. 1t was intended to de-
velop the testimony on this point at the
close Of the investigation, but the refusal
Of Davis to testify brought the matter to
a focus and the decision Of the court put
an END to ALL"
The effort Of Cy Leland to prevent the
dmmediate publication of the stock yards
bill are then referred to at length, In
addition, he states that after Leland
failed ex-Chief Justice Horton tried to
persuade the publishers Of the Mail and
Breeze to hold the publication.
In conclusion Mr.. Outcalt says ITO
sum up the whole matter, corporate
interests were in danger OF legislation
that would curtail their power. They
knew that the Republican members Of
the Legislature as matter Of politics
would oppose every bill offered as dis
tinctively Popullst. 1t was only neCes-
sary to fix the leaders, the rest would
follow like sheep. To defeat the desire
of the people for laws demanded by
them, it was then only necessary to
secure a few Populist vot ee, and they
were obtained through bribery. The
Populist party is not to be blamed be-
cause individuals proved traitors, not
only to the party but to the people. On
the other haud, it deserves credit for this
attempt to purify itself, and the people
will give proper credit. While the in
vestigation failed to accomplish the
complete success hoped for, it will have
salutary effect upon the future opera
tiOns Of corporations and boodling legisla-
tors. 1t has not been in vRin."

HOGS ATE THE GREENBACKs.
A New Hampshire Farmer Had His
Sons Money in Sty.

EXETER, N. H., January N.-Daniel
O'Callahan, a well-to-do farmer of
this town, is so years old, and has
rooted distrust of savings banks.
When his promising son, John, tired
of the poor fare and hard work on a
rocky New Hampshire farm and start
ed West to seek his fortune, he left q
roll OF $500 in his fathers custody.
The old man hid the money in the hog
pen. The hogs scented the green
backs, and one day succeeded in root
ing them out, and, finding them
palatable, devoursd the whole $500.
This was year ago.
John did not make his fortune. He
roamed around the mining camps,
contracted a disease of the eyes, and
then came home. He asked his faith
er for the $500, and when it was not
forthcoming, took drink. The old
man called in doctor, who prescrib-
ed a "greenback" plaster. The old
man made, his son q tsgift' of 500
which worked wonders he asked fol
more, and did not get it, SO he sued
the senior O'Callahan. To-day the
jury gave verdict in favor of the old
man. This makes the hogs guilty o.
grand larceny, but they are dead an6
gone,
