greeted the hundreds who called on
him at the Pacific this morning most
pleasantly.
The Populist papers said yesterday
that neither Gov. Stanley nor John
W. Breidenthal attended the funeral
Of Governor Lewelling. They were
wrong as usual, so far as Gov. Stan
ley was concerned. Breidenthal did
not attend the funeral, but Gov. Stan
ley cancelled an engagement at Os-
wego and went to Wichita TO be pres
sent at the obsequies Of "his fellow
townsman and an ex-governor. "
Gov. Stanley generally can be de-
pended upon to do the right thing.
Congressman Charles Curtis ar
rived last night and was gladly
greeted by host of friends and ad-
mirers here. He has ridden horse
back all over this part Of Kansas and
knows it thoroughly. He is splen-
did example of American manhood,
poor boy who has risen by his own
efforts to a proud position in business,
political and social life. Abilene was
glad to honor him.
The big campaign tent WAS filled
to its limit with large crowd stand
ing all around the edges when the
speaking commenced at 1880. 1t was
one Of the hottest and most sultry
days Of the summer but that did not
affect the enthusiasm OF the crowd.
There was music by the Abilene band
first.
W. 5. Anderson presided and in.
troduced Governor Stanley who spoke
first. He made OF his convincing and
earnest addresses and was cheered at
every point.
Congressman Curtis followed in q
fine address, greatly appreciated and
brimful Of Republicanism.
Tonight at s O'Clock at the tent
Congressman Curtis and Governor
Stanley will speak. All are invited.

stated that Hitchcock nau borrowed an
overcoat and a pair of new gaunth.is

ed a list of his (Cowan'S) acquaintance
and upon the strength of working for

lists of acquaintance of other people and
as Mr.. Cowan believed that it was for the
purpos of swindling he thought it best
to inform the police. Mr.. Cowan will try
to get some of Hitchcock's victims to
prosecute him on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses and failing
in this will probably prosecute him for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
