A leading Kansas Republican admits
that the Populists and Democrats have
more votes in Kansas than the Repub-
leans have, but they expect to win be-
cause it will not be possible in their
judgment for the former TO get their
full vote out. Chairman Taylor Riddle
agrees with the first statement fully,
but he says that the Republicans are
mistaken when they assume that their
will net be out in force. He
thinks that the Populists of Kansas will |
realize that they cannot afford to take
any chances on having the good work
begun by the present administration
stopped. He is overlooking no oppor-
tunity to impress on the minds of the
party workers the Importance and nec-
essity of seeing TO it that every voter
who is favorable to the present state
administration is gotten out to the
polls.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov 10.-Word
was received late last night that after
a hard days search the body of General
Vera Del Rey had been discovered near
Ell Caney, in spite of the efforts of the
Cubans to prevent it's discovery. At
daylight this morning a procession
escOrting the body commenced the
journey towards Santiago and arrived
at the outskirts of this city shortly
after o'clock, where it was met by
several companies of the Fifth United
States infantry and a band of music
These troops then escorted the body
through the main streets of Santiago,
the band playing the dead march from

the Cubans who are unable to under

dead foe, many of them saying that the
Americans are now favoring the Span

The remains were taken to an under

MADE FRIENDLY CALL.
Populist State Committee Calls on the
Republican State Committee.

Never before in the history of Kansas
politics were the state headquarters of the
opposing parties as close together as they
we're in the campaign which has just
closed. Only a narrow alleyway separated
them, and from the windows of the Re
publican offices one could look down into
the rooms occupied by the Populists and
Democrats.
Early Tuesday evening when the re-
turns from Topeka indicated that Gov
ernor Leedy was making gains here, the
Populists were confident of his election
and large number of them went out in
the street in front of the Republican head
quarters and cheered Justify for their can
didate.

FOOLISH OLD SOLDIER
Enticed Into an immoral House at
Emporia and Robbed of $40.

Emporia Republican: '"Taffy" Jones'
of South Sylvan street, while IN the
second story of the building just south
of the Clinton hotel on Commercial
street last evening at o'clock, was
robbed of $40.
The room in which Jones was held
up was occupied by a man who gave
his name as Tom White and a woman
named Birdie White, who says that she
is Tom Whites wife. The White man
and woman are bad characters. They
came to this city from Salina October
rs, and have since then been running
bad house.
Jones entered the house a little after
4 o'clock. The Whites at once pro-
ceeded to get him drunk. After they
had accomplished this, they picked his
pockets and took $40 therefrom. They
then kicked him down the back stair
way. CThis is the account of the affair
which Jones gave the off1cers-) After
the Whites had gotten rid of him, they
hired a team and fed to Plymouth
where they tried to get on the west
bound train but the agent refused to
flag it. They then drove to Saffordville
where they purchased tickets to Strong
City. They were getting on the train
there when they were overtaken and
arrested by Sheriff Tom O'ConnOr and
officer A. C. Randolph who had been
giving them a hot chase from the time
they left this city. The Whites were
brought back to Emporia and placed in
5ail where they now are.
When Jones was kicked off the stair
way, he was so badly hurt that he is
not able to be up today.

Abilene, Nov. 10.-The following let
ter has been received from Arthur
Hurd, an Abilene boy written from Lit
tie Coave, Haiti:
Port au Prince is on a large bay of
the same name and has an excellent
harbOr. In the center of the harbor
there is an old French fort upon which
stands more modern light house. Con-
siderable shipping was in the harbor
and near US some Haitian gunboatS
were anchored. They do not compare
very well with the United States boats
1 saw at New York.
We were ashore nearly all day and
received elegant treatment. Gilbert and
I dined with a young Haitian swell at
his home. The meal consisted of chick
en-, beef, cabbage, beans, onions, some
other vegetables unknown to me, fried
bananas, white bread, fish, wine and
cigarettes. With US dined great
Haitian general, renowned for his bra
very in battle and the number oil duelS
he has fought. I suppose my look of
awe and admiration pleased him for he
seemed to take quite a fancy to me.
He sat at the head of the table with
me upon his right, keeping my plate full
of the choice bits intended for himself,
lighting my cigarettes and taking care
that my glass should never be empty.
1t was lots of fun and very interesting.
Port au Prince is quite city, having
fairly good streets, tramway and the
government buildings. The population
is about so, 600. \
We-1eft the capital Sunday night and
anchored at this port this morning. We
remain here but short time and have
not been ashore. In fact, we are just
now leaving the harbor. AS raise my
eyes from the paper I see a panorama
of sailing boats. white buildings,a grove
of palm trees, a ruined fort and cloud
capped mountains. 1t is splendid.
I will continue my letter later and
mail it at Jacmel, our last port in Haiti.
We reach Jeremie tonight and the doc
tor leaves US. We shall miss him very
Jacmel, Oct. 10, 1898.-The doctor had
a fine reception at Jeremie Monday
evening. The wharf was crowded with
friends to welcome him. Although he
denied it, believe he was glad to get
there.
Jeremie is a dirty place but it is one
of the best business towns in the coun-
try. Tuesday afternoon the doctor took
me for a drive into the country. We
went along a road at the foot of the
mountains, passing through banana
plantations, cocoanut groves and all
other kinds of tropical plants and trees.
At times the road was bordered by or
ange tree hedges bearing fruit; again
a high cliff would be one one side and
on the other. far below, a beautiful lit
tie valley which might have been a part
of the Garden of Eden" So 1T was
during the entire drive, everything new
and interesting and delightful to my
wondering eyes. The doctor was
splendid companion and a Veritable bu-
reau of information. After driving sew
eral miles we came to the country house
of one of the doctors friends.
