HANNA OF CLAY.

/ From the Hill City Republican.
Senator George w. Hanna of Clay
/ Center, the Populist brother of our
townsman, David J. Hanna, was Wis
iting in our city two or three days the
past week and proved himself to be "a
very courteous and well-informed
gentleman. a Populist of the school
of six and eight years ago, and an ad-
vocate of those reforms that pegin at
home. Senator Hanna is member
of the present Populist majority in
the upper house of the Kansas legis-
lature, and talks freely cn the inter-
esting theme of its last session.
A reporter for the Republican en-
joyed his society for two days and got
some ideas from him that are, worth
wavered from his political faith but
he holds that the honor of the state
demands that the illiterate and un-
couth individual who now rattles
around the state house should be rele-
gated to private life. He confidently
hopes to see Mr.. Leedy defeated al
though he wishes that the rest of the
PopuliSt ticket may be elected. He
says that Leedy has nearly wrecked
the party and that the best men in
the front ranks of his party will not
support Mr.. Leedy at the polls. Re-
ferring to the late Fopulist investiga-
tion, Mr.. Hanna said that Brown of
Pratt'S statement that he was offered
s.. 900 to vote for the Harris bill had
always been a puzzler to him. If
Brown was offered that much money
to vote for the Harris bill, how much
must the railroads have given Cover
nor Leedy to veto it that the people
would get no relief at all from the
extortionS of the railroads. The inn
agination alone can tell.
Speaking of the fee and salary bill.
the Senator said: ''1n my county the
county officials are drawing their sal
aries in accordance with the new law.
it is likely the same in Graham coun-
ty, but Ed. Little. Webb McNall. !
Clemens and the other fellows who
are getting the big salaries are
taking advantage of a technicality in
the law TO draw the same old salaries

bonds were required, the money was

and all of US cried out, ''why don t
you declare war;" Mckinley saw no
army, no guns, no ammunition, no de-
fenses, no navy. He said, REST.
peace, there may be no cause for war. !"
By April 81. thirty-fiye vessels had
been added to the navy, the ships
were loaded with ammunition, the
men had received their training,
Dewey was at Hong Kong and in five
days from the receipt of news war
had been declared, Spanish fleet lay
in the bottom of Manila harbor, our
flag fioated over Manila bay In less
than 100 days an army of 260, 900 men
had been raised, armed. fed, clothed,
some transported l 1000 miles.
A Spanish navy was destroyed, 40,-
900 prisoners had been taken. Hawaii
annexed, Poro Rico. Guam, Luzon,
ours, and the Cubans free, and the
war begun in the name of humanity,
of the starving and suffering of Cuba
ended, ourselves united, no North, no
South, no East, no West. The million
aire and the COW boy had fought side
by side, all for country while new
destiny had been forced upon US.
''Yet Mckinley was weak" SO said
De LONE. who was kicked out of our
country, so said Leedy. The war may
not be over; whose hands shall we up
hold in November?

to me in private conversation that
Webb McNall is reeking in corrup-
ton. but the welfare of the party de-
mands that the people be kept in ig-
norance of the facts, and that Webb
Nall is one of the best drawing cards
in the campaign. In spite of the fact
that the Populist senate refused to
confirm d. O. McCray's appointment
to an important position, Governor
Leedy appointed him to another al
though he was not at all a proper per-
son to be recognized by a reform par
ty. Leedy's uncomfortable diarrhea
of the mouth has got the party into
all sorts of embarrassing positions,
his TRADES against the supreme court.
his vaporings about McKinley's weak
war policy with which the Repubii-
cans are now twitting us, and the
many other fool breaks he made are
disgusting to all seff-respecting Pop
uliSts.''
Thus talked the senator naming
many of his associates who like him
self are not supporting Leedy for a
second term. We recollect that he
particularly mentioned senator Snei-
don and. John Breidenthal. 1t was
indeed refreshing to US to hear gen

world and having the further salts
faction of knowing that he made it
all himself. Perhaps the senator
would not have talked SO freely, if his
political job did not last two years
vet, and reading the signs of the
times, he cannot afford to speak his
mind without restraint. If a few
like Senator Hanna, Senator Sheldon,
John Breidenthal. and ex-senator
PETER could be induced to come to

really know about modern populism,
the people would bury the present pop

WAR In THE CAMP.
City Democrats Haven't Any
Strategy Board Either.
Alderman McGann and Councilman West
at Ltggs srhcads.

The merry war In the ranks Of tho To-
cal Democracy continues without the i'd
Of a strategy board. Not only Is the Ward
Three ccnmittee badly divided, but there
Is q bad fracture in the Tenth. Tom
West for long time was a friend of the
Dorney wing and he and Alderman Mo.
Gam fought shoulder to shoulder. Now
West and the alderman are at sw ords'
points. AS Mr.. West PUTS 1t. McGann
and Councilman Hall have joined the Ju-
rists and next Wednesday night there
will DO lively time on the Atwells ave-
nue slope. sunday and Memorial Day
will very likely be devoted not TO relig-
ious or kindred matters, but to the con
vincing of certain voters that q council
man has bigger pull than an alderman
and vice versa.
MIR. West was one OF the strongest anti
Maguireites in the city year ago. but he
says now that be has shed and will con-
tinue to shed floods Of tears for years TO
come over mis- brief relations with the
Quo Goo element. Some Of Mr.. Vests
friends charge Alderman McGann with
nepotism and there are said to be more
promises OF highway jobs floating around
Ward len than there have been rain
drops laid on city streets during the pres
ent week.

quandary, not only because quite sum
Of money belonging to the oorporn ntion

because he cannot surmise how the rob-
bery was committed. Mr. Wilde left this
city ON the $40 Plymouth accommoda.

with him In his casn box the wages for
the section men along tho division, the
cash amounting In tho aggregate, to a

regarding the robbery is maintained by
the railroad officials, and the manner In
which it was perpetrated IL not definitely
known.
1t Is believed, however, that Mr.. Wilde
had the envelopes placed on top OF the
box ready to hand to the section BOSSES
nnd some clever thief took them. The
loss was discovered nbous the time the
train reached Hsbronvills. Railroad de-
tectives were placed on the case at once

NEW TRIAL SOUGHT.
Agnes Keefc's Petition Heard by
Appellate Court.
Received Shock From Electric Wire and
Fell 10 the Ground.

The plaintiffs petition for new trial
In the case Of Agnes Keefe va Narragan-
sett Electric Light was heard by tho Ap
pellats Court yesterday. The plsintih
was girl about IL years old and resided
with Mrs. Annie Hopkinson in the sec.
ord story OF the prem ises at 172 Delaine
street. In the latter part Of June, 1895,
the plaintiffs dogs jumped out OF tho
window OF her house upon the Jst OF the
French roof next adjoining; the child
went out after the dogs anu was going
around the corner OF the French roof up
on which was located the transformer be
longing to the NarraRansett Electric
Lighting Company and to which the sec
ondary wires belonging TO William IL.
Wooiey and used TO light the premises oc'
oupied by him in the first story OF the
building were. AS the ohild went around
the ledge or Jet OF the French roof she
took holj OF tho secondary wires. raised
them so she could get under them ana
continue around the roof. She received
n shook and severe injuries 10 her lett
hand and arm and fell to the ground.
Tho case was tried In the common pleas
division before Judge Bosworth, Nov. 9th
and 9th. 1897. and the court directed q
verdict for the defendant. IL Is urged by
the plaintiffs counsel now that this ver-
dict was wrong, be cause, though the plain
tiff was trespasser on tina roof where
the wires were, the company was bound
20 keep them IN proper shape so no one
could bs injured. In regard to the claim
that the wires belonged TO wooley ana he
and not the company Is responsible II
any one l., tho plaintiff maintains that
tho electricity was controlled by the de-
fendant corporation. Counsel for the do
fenuant corporation argued today that
the decision of the lower court was fully
justified by the evidences ana that the
secondary wires which the plaintiff trok
hold of belonged I'd and were controlled
by wooloy and the court might as well
hold a gas company responsible for dam
ase caused by gas escaping from pipes in
the house or the city responsible for the
bursting OF wAter pipe as 10 hold the
defendant In the present case Responsible.

The Appellate Court today handed

MED. Inc plaintiff originally sued to re

dence warrants the view that the acci-
dent was caused by the breaking OF the
key pin In consequence the rolling back
ward OF the wagon over the bank into a
ditch, after the norses had fallen, and that
II there had been substantial railing
between the roadway ana the ditch it
would have been sufficient to prevent the

dent was the want OF the railing. The
