LYMAN NAUGLE MISSING.
Prominent Editor of wellington, Kan,
Leaves Myateriously--His Doing the
Hesutt Of Scandal

Wellington, Kan, Feb 90 Lyman
Naugle, of this city, one of the most
prominent populists in the state and
editor Of the Wellington Voice, has
mysteriously disappeared. His wherea-
bouts are unknown and his friends
are greatly alarmed. Mrs Naugle is
lying at the point OF death Of heart
disease aggravated by domestic
troubles and the absence OF her hus-
band. The immediate cause OF
the present difficulties was a trip
which Mr. .Nangle made to
st. Louis and indianapolis in
company with Mrs. Marshall, matron
OF the Topeka insane asylum. They
Travelled on passes issued to Lyman
Nsugle and wife" During the last
campaign Naugle was chairman of
Jerry simpsons congressional com
mittee. 10 local politics Naugle and
his friends have dominated Sumner
county populist politics ever since
the rise OF that party. His pa
per, the Voice, was regarded, not
only by the populists, but by the
republicans OF the state as we'll, as
one Of the strongest fusion organs in
Kansas Naugle was also prominent
in secret society circles and church
affairs For years past he has been
the dominant spirit in the Christian
church of this city lie resigned his
position on the church board and
other church offices, which he had
held, about two weeks ago Up until
recently he had been very regular
attendant at church.
A dispatch from Topeka says: Mrs
Emma Sells Marshall. natron Of the
Topeka insane asylum, whose name
is connected with the Naugle trouble,
came to the state house last night and
handed in her resignation as matron.
She admitted that she had gone to ST.
Louis and indianapolis with Naugle,
and that they Travelled on passes made
out to Naugle and wife She asserted,
however, that her conduct while on
that trip was unassailable.

Champ Clark says that nothing short
of death can prevent Bryan from being
the next Democratic nominee, and moth
ing but the Intervention of the Almighty
will keep him from being elected. Demo
cratic chances of success have improved
fully 80 per cent. in the past four
months and are now brighter than they
have been in any presidential campaign

ly settled what the party platform will
be, and ii may be outlined MS follows:
Re-enactment of the Chicago platform:
declaration against expansion; strong
plank against trusts and other forms of
oppression; opposition to a large stand

"A GENEROUS GIFT TO A NOBLE CHARITY

Mr.. A. f. Page, of this city, has re-
Gently given six thousand dollars to the
Methodist Home for Orphans and Re-
tired Preachers to be established in
Raleigh. He is one man who, when he
gives with his right hand, does not let his
left hand know it, but in this instance
the trustees of the Home have felt it
proper to let us print the name of the
generous donor.
1t is noble gift to noble charity.
There is no service to humanity that is
more Christ-like than to give shelter,
education and religious training to the
orphaned boys and girls. "Of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven" Those who

mission will be abundantly able to show
that the present assessment is much
below the true value of the railroad
property, taking the sworn statements Of
the railroads as the evidence, and upon
the showing that has often appeared in
these columns no judge, nor even Simon
ton, could hold with any show of reason
that the contested assessment is too
high.
The cotton mill men will naturally
resent the officiolisness of those roads,
which having lodged just taxation for
years, seek to support their untenablr
contention by an attack upon the owners
of cotton mills. They will say, and so
will the courts, that every tub should
stand ON its own bottom. If the rail-
roads are taxed too high 1t should be
shown from its reports of business with
out singing out Il single class of manu-
facturers III order to get them to pull
the railroads out of the hole.

Than to Mr. Carr He has put in it the

one of the largest stockholders in the
company owning the properly, but he is
recognized as one of the abiest and bold
cst fnanciers in the State and is inter
csted in many large ventures in Raleigh,
Durham and elsewhere. Here he is one
of the largest stockholders in the new
gas company, president of the Inter
State Telephone Company, which has
lines in North Carolina Virginia, Mary
land, South Carolina and perhaps other
States. He is interested in several of
the Durham mills, and has large hold
ings in the Loclvillc water power which
it is proposed to develop. He is using
his wealth to develop his State and make
happicr and better the conditions of mis-
fellow men. The State needs more such
men, and Raleigh rejoices to have him
invest in her enterprises.

this city, as counsel in the tax injunction
case to be argued at AshevillG in Sep

counsel may be employed to assist them.
The Governor desires to employ coun-

ter definitely understood letter was

ton to employ counsel The Commission

His EXcellency's approval, and they en-
quired whether they were authorized to
employ the necessary counsel at expense
Of the State.
TO this the Governor CURLY replied
that he was the proper one to employ
counsel and he would do SO at the proper

That this view was not shared by the

TO USE COTTON MILLS AS CATS PAWS.

4 we'll known railroad magnate, who
procured the injunction from Judge 81
monitor against permitting the Corpora
tion Commission TO assess the railroad
property for taxation, has given it out
that he proposes to show that the cotton
mills in North Carolina are taxed only
mt forty per cent. of their true value.
IT is hoped by affidavits of undervaiua-
ton of cotton mill property the railroads
will be able to have the assessment of
their property by the Corporation Com
mission reduced to the old assessment.
In other words, the railroads will ask
the cotton mill men to pull the chest
nuts out of the fire for them.
We are not advised as to whether the
cotton mills of the State are listed at
their true value. If they have been
listed at too low figure, and the rail-
/. road men are able to show that such is
the case. it will be the duty of the county
commissioners of the counties In which
they are situated to increase the assess

All property ought to be placed on the
tax list at its true value, but 1t viii do
