Unpaid Bills and Men.

Chas. Butcher Insults Joe Wat
ers in Larned Court Room.

Wellington, Aug. 27-Ben New, who
has been threshing in the vicinity of
Riverdale has skipped the country leav-
ing his debts unpaid and taking with
him money that did not belong to him.
New was threshing for Alex For
syth on Wednesday and was to thresh
for John Heskett next In the after
noon he went to Mr.. Heskett and told
him he had to make a payment on his
machine and if he would give him 500
he would credit him on his threshing
bill. Mr.. Heskett gave him SOS. New
also went to George Davis for whom
he had threshed some time ago and de-
manded his money. Davis bill was $40,
but he had nothing less than an $50
check. New assured him that he would
take the check, get it cashed and return
the money to him. Davis trusted him.
New cashed the check and returned
Davis $S5, keeping out $50 too much. He
then skipped and nothing has been
heard of him since. He also left his
men unpaid, also several other bills.
A mortgage yesterday took possession
of his machine, and his hands and other
creditors are left with nothing. New is
over $500 ahead by his taking methods.

The Grand Army veterans who will
60 to Cincinnati with the expectation of
turning out in the grand parade on
Wednesday, September 7th, will find an
agreeable surprise awaiting them in the
character and length of the line of
march. The line is no longer than those
of former years in other cities, and by
the provisions of the G. A r. can not
be more than two miles In Cincinnati.
the parade will be over perfectly level
ground, and on smooth paved streets
The first quarter of the march will be
over granite streets-Central avenue
and Fourth street-but those who have
seen the smooth granite paving in Gin
cinnati know that it is as easy to walk
over as asphalt. The remaining three
f0urths of the walk is over asphalt
paved streets, and the most of this on
street entirely free from street rail-
way tracks. Much of the formation,
too, viii be on asphalt streets. The re-
port published in a few papers that
there was complaint about the line of
march among old soldiers is said to be
entirely without foundation. When the
executive committee of the national
council of administration met in Gin
cinnati recently, the mem bers drove
over every foot of the line of march,
and they gave it their unqualified ap-

Campfire.

Cincinnati, Aug. 27.-The three camp
fires which are to be given in Music
hall on the first three nights of encamp-
ment week-September 5, and will
be upon as grand a scale as the local
committee, which is made up of men
with regulations as entertainers, can
devise. While the programme for each
night will in general respects be the
same, it is proposed to have different
speakers, and to introduce other
changes.
Congressman Jacob H. BrOmWen will
preside on Monday night; NJ E. ingalls,,
chairman of the citizens committee, on
Tuesday night, and VIM. B. Melish, ex-
ecutive director, the third night. Among
the speakers promised for the occasion
are President Mckinley, eX-President
Harrison, Senator J. B. Foraker, and
others. The combined Catholic choirs,
numbering 500 trained voices, will fur
nish a part of the chorus music, under
the direction of Andrew Book. The
Orpheus club, $50 voices, Chas- Gran
can Choral society, $50 voices, David
Davis, director, will also take turns in
the war concert. They will be sup
ported by Weber's military band of 80

will be productions by the biograph of

attempted.

Washington c. Ford, a mathematical,
statistical gentleman, has figured it out
Gin Harper's) that the navy we are
going to need as a world-pOwer will
cost US $50, 600, coo a year, that the army
will cost US $75,OOO 900 to 800 900, 900,
and that probably the government will
not be able to make both ends meet
with an annual revenue less than 5000,
100000. But the transfer to the free list
of articles imported from the ex-Span-
Dish Antilles, Hawaii and the Philippines
viii wipe out a good deal of the present
customs revenue-about $50 900, 900
year on the item of sugar alone. This
loss will have to be made good some
how and somewhere. Mr.. Ford's fore
cast is that the collection of duties on
imported merchandise will cease to be
the leading feature of our revenue sys-
tenn, and that the great bulk of the
governments income will in future be
derived from internal taxation.

DOYLE DECLINED TO RUN.
County Populist Conven-
ton Explained.

Be1leville, Aug. 27.-J. NJ. Doyle, Free
Silver Republican, secretary of the
Populist county central committee, with
reference to the report that he was
turned down for a denomination as
representative, says:
1.-THE Populists did not turn me down;
they kindly offered to nominate me by
reclamation but I refused to be a can
didate for denomination on account of
private business interest. And as to
their candidate, VIM. MOore's opposi-
ton to Governor Leedy, it is the same
old story; he opposes him for the same
reason that some Republicans up here
opposed Major Morrill, two years ago;
they think a governor should come up
to Republic county and close the joints,
but Governor Leedy is all right in Re
public county, and if you will pardon
a political prediction, Governor Leedy
will receive several hundred more votes
in Republic county then he did two
years ago, and w. D. Vincent will be
elected congressman of the Fifth dis
trict by largely increased majority
over two years ago."

Silver Democrats desire the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
sixteen to one. The doctrine means
more money; it means government
money; and, to more than half it's ex-
tent, silver money means fiat money.
The Silver Democrats also favor gov
eminent paper as against bank notes.
All these are Populist doctrines and
the leading issues before the people.
Silver Democrats also oppose trusts,
monOpoIies and court made laws; and
they favor tax on large incomes and
several other good things which Popu-
lists approve.
'On these issues the Silver Democrats
fought the campaign of 1896, and are
proposing to fight now, the present fall
and in 1900. All of which facts prove
the Silver Democrats to be a friendly
party with which Populists may safely
and profitably cooperate for the over
throw of the common enemy"

to maintain order, adjourned court and
ordered the court room cleared.
When court convened some hours
later Mr.. Butcher made the proper
apologies to Mr.. Waters and the court,
and stated that he desired to withdraw
his remarks. AT first Mr.. " aters re-
fused to accept the apology, but finally
did so, when, after a short lecture of
the lawyers for their disgraceful breach
of decorum and a warning that it must
not be repeated, the court permitted
Mr.. Butcher to finish his argument, af-
ter which he overruled the demurrer
and gave the defense notice to get
ready to present their side of the case.
These cases have involved the bitterest
elements of antagonism, and everybody
is expecting more trouble, and of
more serious character before the end
is reached.

support to PETER for governor says it is
not true In an interview he says:
while I believe in the honest en-

money to carry on a fight in cause in
which the so-called Christian people
are not taking any interest. So long as
the churches and church people in Kan

seeming Indifference in the matter I
cannot see the ACCESSIBILITY of putting
up money to convert the church people
of the state on the prohibitory question.
