some time, and last week they arranged to
go away and be quietly married. The par

marriage. and this caused postponement.
Being thus opposed by the parents of the

their minds 70 end their troubles by dying
together. They met last night and, 1t is
supposed, made all arrangements to carry
out their terrible plan. The young lady left
her home early this morning and went di-
rect to the blacksmith shop. where May lay

news of the double tragedy was learned

FUSION DEAL ABANDONED.
ing to Reach an Agreement
.r ..-. t-r With the Pops. .

Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 25.-(Special)
The new Democratic county committee met
this afternoon at the National hotel Early
in the meeting 1t developed that the Demo-
Gratis were fighting mad at the Populists
for refusing to accept the three little places
that were offered them Monday. All eff
forts to fix up a fusion deal were aban-
doned and the vacancies on the Demo-
cratic ticket were filled up by the COM
mittee making the following nominations:
County surveyor. ]. e. Burrell, of Stranger
township; coroner, DR.. Sol Russell, of
of Delaware township. All of these men
are Bourbon Democrats, and now there is
a full party ticket in the field.
The question of trying to repair the
break made by the Democratic convention
adopting Hon. 7. P. Fenlon's resolution
denouncing the Populist administration and
the metropolitan police commissioners was
considered. 1t was practically decided to
issue manifesto declaring that the reso-
lutiohs did not pass The adoption of these
resolutions has had a demoralizing effect
and some kind of an effort to foot the pub
lie was Thought to De absolutely necessary.
The sentiment of tile members Of the
committee was. that the ticket nominated
was a weak oneffand that many members
of the party were against the ring. In
view of this it was decided to have a
doodle campaign and to make heavy as
easements on the candidates,

FLORAL BALL DECLARED OFF.
"Anarchist" Clemens Succeeds in
Knocking Out One of the Carr
nfyul Week Features

Topeka, Kas.. Sept. 25.-(Special.) G. C.
Clemens, the Kansas anarchist" has sue
ceeded in knocking out the widely adver-
tised Floral ball, which was to have been
given in Representative hall one evening
during Carnival week. This ball was to
have been a swell affair." and tickets at first
were quoted at s. each. The number Of in
vitations was limited to 200. Clemens saw an
opportunity to raise some trouble and he
took advantage of it. He showed the state
officers that it would be mistake for a
reform" administration to give swell So
week, when, the common people" came in,
they would consider it an insult for some
thing to take place in the state house
which they We're prohibited from attend
ing. 1t was pointed out that this would
cause the loss of thousands of votes to the
Populists. In order to break up the thing,
Clemens had some colored people put in
an application for the hall for a grand ball
for the night before the big event. The
executive council did not grant the appli-
cation, but 1t modified the contract it had
with the promoters of the swell ball, SO
that 1t practically killed the project. The
council refused to rescind its action in
modifying the contract and the promoters
to-day called the ball off.

All they want is representation by appoint

county fights they will ask for an even
division OF candidates. and the Populists
will grant this, too The fact is. the Demo-.

Topeka. Kas., Sept. 25.-(special) Super
fntendent Hart, of the Topeka reform
school. discharged three officers yesterday
over most trivial matter. He repented of
his act to-day and took back two of the
men. The other one would not return, as
he said he did not care to work at an in
stitution in charge of a man with wheels
in his head. Charles GormIy. formerly the
band leader here. but recently chief mu-
sician at the reform school, went over to
the. Atchison corn carnival. He brought
back few tassels of corn as souvenirs
and yesterday he stuck tassels in the hats
of ]. e. Anderson and F. B. Roper. This
SO enraged Hart that he fired all three
men on the spot. He said that 1t was
unbecoming the dignity OF reform school
officers to engage in such thing. Gormly
and Anderson had planned to show off the
band at the school to good advantage dur
ing the fall festival here next week. and
they told Mr.. Hart that the "stuff was
all Off then. Hart saw that he had made
a. fool of himself and rescinded his order
Of discharge. Gormly and Anderson went
back to work. Roper declined to do SO.
He says that Hart is about half crazy and
he doesn't want to work under him.
