SHEFFIELD
Colbert County to Issue Bonds for Road Ir,nr,rc.ue r1,n1a t--rrar rccsan Rnnrr,innr

provement--Tennesse Booming - Sheffield March 16.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)--Colbert county voted yester- day to issue $100,000 turnpike bonds The vote was light, owing to the rain that fell during the entire day. But little op- position was made by those who were opposed to the issuance of the bonds. With a judicial investment of the pro- ceeds of the bonds Colbert county will have the best system of macadamized roads in the state.
 The rains for the past week have been the heaviest known here for many years There is more wa ter in the creeks and ponds than I have ever seen q1ere be- fore. The Tennessee river is very high and still on the rise. The rains have in- terfered with all farm operations and mining. The ore supply at the furnaces is getting short.
 The big fire here on Sunday last de- stroyed the Sheffield cotton compress and 997 bales of cotton. The loss on the com press was $12,000; insurance, S6000 The cotton was covered by insurance. It is thought that the compress win be rebuilt fin time for the next seasons business as the business of the present season has been profitable up to the time of the fire

PoPULIsM REBUKED.
Kansas BimetaIIic League Officially
Denounces Nepotism-A Com
tentIon of Pie Hunters.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 12.-CSpecial.) The
meeting of the Kansas State Bimetallic
League was held to-day in Hamilton hall.
About 800 delegates were present, n pre-
ponderance OF the number being men who
are in Topeka seeking positions under
Governor Leedy. That was seen by the
deep interest the gathering felt in the dis
tribution of pie, up to date, in which sew
eral state officers have provided easy
places for relatives. The pie hunting spirit
of the league was wounded by seeing rela-
tlveS cared for and found expression when
the Wyandotte county delegation intro
duced the following resolution, which was
adopted with great applause:
Resolved, That nepotiSm in office will
lose more votes. than all of the people
with united action can secure. We are
opposed to it in any form.
The league thus gave the first official re-
buke the PopuliSt administration has re-
ceived.
Tonight, D. C. Tillotson was elected
president and Fred j. Close secretary.
During the convention, there was a
breeze caused by Judge Anderson, of Kan
sas CITY, Ras, vehemently declaring Chair

him and trying to keep him from being
htard When given an opportunity to
speak. he was so angry his oratoricaI ef-
fort fell fiat.
EX-United States Senator John Martin.
in speech before the silver convention
made the following striking statements:
The battle of silver was fought and lost
last November. 1t was but a skirmish Of
the outlines. Now we want to make an
attack on the intrenchments of the enemy.
Silver is only a surface issue. We want
TO go to the bottom of this question. You
want to declare in your resolutions against
trusts and combines of all kinds and you
want to declare in favor of the government
foreclosing on The Union Pacific railway
and operating 1t. Don't stop in your reso-
lUticns short of your convictions"
committees, which was done.
After lively night session, a state or
ganization was effected and constitution
adopted. The name of the organization is
The Kansas Free Silver Union" and any
body believing in the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of is to | may
become a member of the union.
a lively fight was precipitated when the
committee on resolutions reported favoring
free coinage of silver at 16 to l. government
ownership of railroads and telegraphs, and
opposing interest bearing bonds and cor
porations or monopohes of any sort. The
discussion on these was spirited, many
saying they were in favor of free silver
but not of the rest. 1t resulted in rejecting
the report and adopting a simple resolution
favoring the free and unlimited conage of
silver at the ratio of is TO !.
