To THE CANDIDATES FOB THE
Tunrar. aw4Tuu

To THE CANDIDATES FOB THE
LEGISLATURE.
Gsntlemen-Ths old ffIron Bri-
Eads" Of the old-fashioned "Bour-
bon Democracy" Of ThiekBoods
precinct, down here, in The second
district, unqualifedly indorses the
"COmprOmise Platform" in so far
as repeal Of the Agricultural Lien
Law" is concerned. And We, too,
are going to stand by our guns
throughout The campaign.
Over tWenty-eight hundred years
ago there was a Greek law.giyer,
by the name of Lyeurgus, who
made a law in the States of Greece
that the Greek children should
either steal or slarvs. But neither
Lyeurgus, Solon, or even Draco,
who wrote his laws with blood,
ever made law, authorizing and
upholding wholesale larceny in
high places, and compelling full
grown men to lie and stesl.-lt
took our own advanced stages of
civilization, our christian age, when
nations make wars of conquest, TO
steal empires for "humanity's
sake" TO conceive Of, and enact a
law, that is more dishonest and
unfair than any law that Lyeurgus
ever framed, and more despotic
than any law that "Draco ever
made" And justice, fairness and
intelligence demand that the "Agri-
cultural Lien Law" be repudiated
and abolished. Therefore please
let US hear from you, gentlemen.
Are you for, or against repeai?

THE ORDERS SIDE.
The Knights and Ladies of Security
Make a Statement Through
Attorney Overmeyer.

Hon. David Overmyer, attorney for
the Knights and Ladies of Security,
gives the following in reply to the state
ment made by Mr.. Thos. H. Baine, at
torney for those who issued the circular
against the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curity:
THAT the whole trouble arises from
the fact that the present national off,
GERS believe that they have the right
to perpetuate themselves in office, and
the further statement that they alone
have had the handling of the affairs of
the order from the start, it is sufficient
to say that there is but one of the
present national officers who was such
at the beginning of the order And
further, as to the perpetuatiOn Of them
selves in office, it is sufficient to cite
section one of article three of the con-
stitution, which is as follows:
g Sec. 2. All national officers, except
trustees, shall be elected for the term
of four years, and they shall serve un-
til their SUCCESSORS are elected and
qualified
LAS to the alleged proposition for an
investigation, Mr.. Baine did not pro-
pose to have an investigation by the
insurance department, and three repu-
table business men from Topeka, but
proposed to have the insurance depart
ment supervised by three men to be
named by these malcontents, not yet
named, make an examination. For
aught the national officers know, the
three men to be chosen may be persons
who are now under charges for having
issued this hbelous and scurrilous
charge against the order. The GOODNESS
of these people in making such de-
mands while under investigation them
selves, their audacity in presuming to
usurp the functions not only of the in
suranCe department of the state, but
likewise of the national council of the
order, which alone has power to pass
upon the conduct of the national Off
GERS, is phenominal, and is only to be
ha not
emanates from the same weakness, per-
veTsity, lawlessness and moral obliquity
which prompted the instigation of this
plot to injure the reputation and black
en- the good name of one Of the most
worthy and prosperous institutions that
originated in the state''

BIG SALE SEATS.
Attendance at the Jeffries-Sharkey
Mill Will Be Immense.

New York, Oct. 30.-With the worlds
championship battle less than five days
distant, James ]. Jeffries declares that
he is in perfect condition; his muscles
firmer than when he defeated Fitz-
simmons.
when I fought F'itzsimmons," said
to the result, owing to his wonderful
ring record and the fact that he was
champion of the world. I had heard
considerable about his wonderful hit
ting powers and all that sort of thing,
but with Sharkey it is an entirely diff
ferent proposition. I have fought
Sharkey and beaten him. I know his
style thoroughly, and although he has
improved considerably since we met
in San Francisco, am sure I can beat
him all right I have also improved
since 1 fought Sharkey and I think
that my fight with Fitzsimmons shows
that 1 have made more rapid progress
in the science of the manly art than the
sailor. All fair minded persons agree
that F'itZsimmons beat Sharkey fairly
and squarely. Now, why should not
beat Sharkey?"
Tom Sharkey processes the utmost
confidence in himself and judges of
form like his looks
The advance sale of tickets for, the
fight has been enormous, and the indi-
cations point to a packed house. Orders
for seats have been received from as
far west as San Francisco.
Although the fight is but a few days
off, very few big bets have been re
corded on the contest This has been
due to a feeling of apprehension owing
to Jeferies' mishaps.

benefits to employees, has been fled in the
circuit court.
The plea is advanced by Mrs. Johanna
Bynert, whose husband, John Bynert was
employed by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad company as a car re-
pairer and was killed while working at
the company's switch yards last July
The petition declares that under the
rules of the relief society, of which By
merit was a member, his widow was enti-
tied to receive $3.50 as death benefit Tt
is asserted that the company refuses to
pay the death benefit unless a waiver re-
leasing the company for all further Ha-
bility is given by Mrs. Bynert. The al
legation on which the plea rests is that
the company has no legal authority to
conduct the voluntary relief department,
which it is claimed comes under the linn
itations of the laws governing fraternaI
insurance societies.
The statement is made in the petition
that though nominally a voluntary asso-
citation the employees of the company are
coerced into joining the relief department.
In addition to asking the restraining order
the petition seeks to have the affairs of
the organization wound up and its as
sets distributed, and to this end asks that
a receiver be appointed.

To settle For a Bic Fire.

BunkerhilI, Kan, Oct. 30.-Represen-
tatives of the Union Pacific railway )
interests have been over the ground
from this town to the Saline river,
which territory was burned over by a
fire on Sunday, October %. On that
day the wind blew a gale from the
south. and shortly before noon, as
freight No. IL was starting west, the
engine threw fire near the stockyards.
All efforts to put it out were unavail-
ing. A wide strip of ground was burn
ed over and much range and feed were
destroyed. Vigorous action prevented
the fire from crossing the Saline, many
men having come from Lucas and the
Wolf creek valley to fight the flames.
It is believed that the railway COM
pany will now settle for all damage
done. A number of years ago a large
tract a little east of the present one
was burned. and the many lawsuits
that grew out of that fire, and others
near it, have been but lately settled by
the railway

SANTA FE GETS h & s.
Purchase Is Made of the Valuable
Hutchinson Line.

Hutchinson. Kan, Oct. .30.-The Hutch
inSon and Southern railroad has passed
into the hands of the Santa Fe. The
deal was cOnsummated some time ago,
but the announcement was made today.
The line is 148 miles long, extending
from Hutchinson to Ponca, Ok 1t is
big paying road and runs through the
richest part of southern Kansas and
Oklahoma. The price paid is not given.
The road is bonded for S., 900 a mile
and stock has been issued to the extent
of $4,000 per mile. Some time ago E.
r. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe
went over the road and Immediately
rumOrs of the Santa Fe buying it were
circulated.
A suit is now pending in the district
court of this county against the Hutch
inson and Southern by R. N. Archer,
Charles Davis, the estate of Alex Duck
worth, c. B. Mathews, Herman Tepan
and Alex Clark, all of Cincinnati, ask
ing for a receiver and claiming that the
recent management obtained control
by fraud. The Santa Fe, of course,
bought the road with full knowledge
of the suit, which viii be pressed. The
road under the Santa Fe management
will be operated from Wellington.

MOTHER RAvING CRAZY.
Complications Follow Wedding With
out Consent of Girls Parents

Manchester, N. H, Oct 3O.-There is
a queer matrimonial mix-up in this
city, in which Charles Rafney, age p
years, and Miss Della c. HarIand. 20
years old, are the parties most interest
ed Young Rainey says that he and
Miss Harland were married last Fri
day night. The couple secured a license
October 20, but there is no record of the
ceremony having taken place and it is
believed Rainey, VINO is a Russian, has
mistaken the license for the marriage
certificate. The marriage of the two
was bitterly objected to by the girls
parents, but the young woman would
not be denied her lover and left home
last friday morning, supposedly to
marry Rainey, and since that time she
has not been seen and the young man
declares he does not know her where
abOuts.
Late last night he went to the Har
land house to look for his bride He
told the parents that they had been
married and suppOsing the girl was at
her nome, demanded to be allowed TO
see her When the mother heard the
news she was driven frantic. She
could not be controlled and in an hour
was raving crazy. She secured a large
butcher knife, ran out of the house
threatening to kill herself and everv-
body else in the vicinity The DoIfca
captured her after a hard struggle b11t
they have found no trace of the vo1lne-
lady

FATAL STREET FIGHT.
Two Factions In an Indiana Town
Empty Revolvers at Each other.

North Salem, Ind, Oct. 30.-A desper-
ate street fight between members of a
Tennessee colony, recently located here,
and citizens of North Salem Sunday re-
suited in the instant death of one man,
the fatal wounding of another and
minor injuries for many others. The
dead:
WILLIAM MACKEY, a Tennesseean.
The wounded:
William Ragan, a druggist of North
Salem; will die.
Trouble has been brewing for some
time and it came today when a num-
Der of the Tennesseeans started a row
in Ragan's store.
The proprietor tried to quell the dis
turbance, but found himself in immi-
nent danger of being trampled and
beaten to death. He ran behind the
counter, secured two revolvers and
opened fire. Instantly pistols were
drawn by everybody and the fight
spread out into the street, where it be-
came general. Women tainted and un-
armed persons in the vicinity of the
battle sought shelter in staIrways and
behind telegraph poles. More than
twenty-five shots were fired. but no one
can or will tell who fired the fatal shots.
The town is quiet today. but the Ten
nesseeans are vOwing vengeance, and
the citizens are arming and organizing
for an attack.
