20 years and has been dominated and
controlled by boodling Hobbies in every
session of its legislature, yet it never
had the manhood and courage to in
VestiGate its corruption and bOOdling:
and While it tries to ridicule and make
capital of the present unfortunate con-
ditiOns in which the POpulists are
placed, the state can better bear what
1t must from the present party in
power with all that can be proven
against it, than to return the Republic
cans to power, which, at the mildest
you can put it, would be boOdling
party entire and of hundreds of thous-
and dollars more expense to the state;
therefore,
Resolved, That we indOrse Governor
John w. Leedy as honest, capable and
true, brave and fearless. and we ask
of him the thorough investigation of all
charges of whatsoever kind or charac-
ter. which prevented the enactment of
such laws as our platform and pledges
guaranteed. And further that if q
sufficient number of pledges can be Sc
cured assuring the passage of a maxi
mum rate law, that he, at the earliest
moment compatible with other duties
devOlving upon him, call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature for that purpose,
thus fulfilling our party pledges and
giving our state and her people much
needed relief.

County, Kansas.

DEATH LIST DOWN TO 90.
Many Supposed to be Drowned at
Guthrie are Found Further Down
the Stream in Trees.

Guthrie, o. T, April 3O.-In the flood
stricken valley of the Cottonwood river
yesterday was one of heroic efforts to-
ward the rescue of those unfortunates
whose lives were still endangered and
for the relief of the hundreds OF desti-
tute and hungry. Last night it seemed
certain that the loss of life in the
deluge will not exceed twenty. All
day missing people, supposed to have

confirm the reported heavy loss of life.
Daylight found dozens Of people still
clinging to trees, overturned houses or
timbers, in perilOus positions which

with a vengeance and kept up with a
tireless energy till nightfall made 1t I'M

in the contest at Ottawa is"Good Night

full of harmony and also very pleasing.
Especial practice has been made on it
