Two Friends Quarrel

f. O'Sulivan was fined So or five days by
Justice Owens yesterday for battery upon
James Assins. The men have been friends
for several years, but Askins provoked
O'Sullivan by snatching the latter's walk

easily without the aid of this stick, but he
caught Askins and in the anger of the mo-
ment struck him over the head with the
cane, cutting cash in the scalp Both men
regretted the occurrence, so O'Sullivan was
let off with light sentence.

nothing on earth can prevent the re-
nomination Of John Leedy at the State
convention"
TO fill the vacancy in the Senate in
the loud-Republic district caused by
the death of Senator MOsher, many
Populists are suggesting the nomination
of Conner Davies, of the ConcOrdia Kan
san. Conner has been in the Legislature
before and he would know how to pro-

Tom McNeal, of the Mail and Breeze,
is a candidate for the Republican nOmi-
nation for State Senator In Shawnee
county. In his announcement he says
that his father used to nave night run
on an underground railroad, that II he
has anything extraordinary in his char
acter that he is not able to recall 1t,
and that If there is anything of which
he is ashamed that he will carefully
conceal it from his constituents. He
promises not to collect any greater
compensation for his services than is
provided by law.
Charley Lobdell would like to have
this campaign start off by the nOmina-
tion of a Republican State ticket which
would not be positive load. For this
reason he wants Dick Blue kept off the
ticket. In his paper he says that Dick
is failure and that he does not be-
lieye in good faith in politics and the
payment of personal and political
debts" Attention is called to the fact
that the Kincaid bank affair is suffi-
cient to kill anybody and that in addi-
tion to this Blue borrowed money Of
friends at home and throughout the
State, none Of which he paid. Mr.. Lob
dell also refers to his campaign speech
in which he said that "the man will have
to get on his feet quick that introduces
a bill for the free coinage of silver be-
fore | do" and says that this was char
acteristic of the man, as he never in
tended to respect this promise and of
course did not do so.
