A GRAVEYARD COLLOoUY.
Between Two Black Men on a DARK
Night.

At rare intervals the moon peeped
through the pillows of a sea of heecy
clouds and cast scky beams across the
path of form which was walking slowly
and steadily in a country graveyard. The
figure stole furtive glances about him as
he crept to the grave of man who had
died on the gallows on Friday. Just as the
clock was tolling the midnight hour the
form fell PROSTATE on the grave, uttering
not sound. Almost in an instant the
figure arose. Taking knife from his
pocket, he made single, rapid cut, and
turned to leave the place. A moonbeam
revealed a look of ghoulish glee on his
countenance.

The so-called Citizens union movement
inaugurated some weeks ago is tramping
solemnly along a rocky road. When the
Cts movement was first launched. a full
blown ticket was announced, with Richard
Field at the head for mayor. He ordered
his name withdrawn, declaring that at no
time had he authorized it to be placed
there. Then Colonel Simonds and Thomas
Mcnamara, who were among its original
nominees for the upper house, %repudiated
the ticket. The remaining members Of the
ticket becoming shaky at so much disin-
tegration began casting about with a view
to disassociating themselves from the

ing his name on the Cts official ticket,
notified the election commissioners that he
had never been consulted n that the
placing of his name on the ticket had
been wholly without his authority. He
said he wanted his name taken off the
ticket and it was. Some of the Democrats
then began casting about with a view
TO selecting a man for this vacancy. At
torney Frank F. Rozzelle. one of the legal
advisers of the Democrats. investigated
the law and came TO the conclusion that
perhaps this little Irritation had already
been carried too far and that the
legality of the action already taken
in the way of filling vacancies could
be successfully questioned. He con-
suited with his associates and it was
decided to withdraw the names of all the
Democratic candidates from this ticket.
The election commissioners were then
notified that the names of its nominees
would all be withdrawn from the Cts
ticket.
The next move of the fathers of this
little political waif remains to be seen.
They have until Saturday next in which
to cast about for other names to take
the vacant places. In the meantime the

A MEETING OF SILVER FORCES.
william Jennings Bryan and Lon v.
stephens Discuss the Lost
Cause.

William J. Bryan. of Lincoln. and Lon V.
Stephens. of Jefferson City. were guests at
the Midland yesterday morning. and en-
joyed the pleasure of each others ompan
for a few hours. Mr.. Bryan had been on a
trip through the South %lecturing. and was
on his wa to Lawrence. where he spoke
last evening. From there he will go home
for a few days rest. Mr.. Stephens was on
his way West on Il tour for his health.
Mr.. Bryan was met at the depot yester-
day morning on his arrival by Representa-
tive T. NJ. Spofford ami John Sullivan. who
escorted him to the Midland. where they
had breakfast together. After that they
met Governor Stephens and some of the
admirers he has in the city who had come
down to the hotel to spend the morning
hours with him..
The two distinguished supporters of the
l6 to ] theory met and exchanged greet
ingS. 1t was their first meeting. since they
made that trip over the Wabash road from
Kansas City to st. Louis during the last
campaign. Governor Stephens had asked
that Mr.. Bryan make a speaking tour
across the state to help him out. but the
committee and the governor forgot to make
any provision for paying the bill. and the
distinguished guests" on the trip had to
pay 4 cash fare to the conductor. The
quick Judgment of Governor Stephens
saved Mr.. Bryan from having to pay his.
OF course a meeting with the memories Of
that happy and unselfish trip would be
mutually agreeable to both men.
