Republican Rally at Liberty.

Last Friday at Liberty school house
there was gathering of votersto hear
the addresses of Capt. j. r. Stewart,
candidate for State Senator, and Mr..
Baxter MCLEAN. The building was
comfortably filled and the speeches
we'll received, Mr.. Stewart talking on
State issues and Mr.. MCLEAN on
National issues. The crowdwas pleas
antly surprised in the fact that Mr.,
MCLEAN proved to be spell-binder Of
considerable talent.
Among the most interesting features
of the meeting was the general CONVEX
sation after the program was over.
An old gentleman who had been a
Democrat for years stated that he be-
lieved the country was in fine condi-
tion and that he was not willing to
risk well enough by voting the Demo.
cratic ticket and so had concluded tC
vote for Mckinley. And a Populis
voter who four years ago supported
w. j. Bryan stated voluntarily tina
this fall his ballot would be in favor
of Mckinley and Roosevelt.

Kansas Soldiers will Vote

The Kansas soldiers in the Philip
pines will be given an opportunity to
vote this fall, the same sif they were
at home. Under the Kansas law vol
unteer soldiers have the right to vote
in the field. Two years ago all the
Kansas regiments in the field voted,
and Kansas soldiers will be accorded
the same privilege this year. The
State election board is now getting
up the blank ballots and poll books
and tally sheets, together with a state
ment showing who the various can
didates are. These will be sent 20 the
Philippines in a short time. The
Kansas boys are scattered all over
Luzon and for that reason it will take
an extraordinary large number of
poll books and tally sheets. The war
department has furnished the adjutant
general list of the Kansas volunteers
in service in the Philippines. Three
different regiments are made upalmost
exclusively of Jayhawkers. There
are scores scattered among other
regiments.

A Voice From the Timber.

There was little crowd of young
men on the street recently chat
ting when Cassius M. Edison hove in
sight.
"Hello, SENATOR" some one called.
And then Cassius stopped and in
his childlike and charming way pro-
ceeded to mingle with the assembled
voters. AS he says himself if he don't
get fun out of the campaign nobody
will. The conversation naturally
drifted into political vein and the
senatorial timber was sounded on the
issues of the day.
"When you get into the halls of the
state senate what may we expect of
you in the matter of sound money and
the tariff ?" was asked.
Mr.. Edison said that he had not
thought much about the finances of
the country as he was too busy figur-
ing out how he was going to make
both ends meet on his 81 per diem.
In the matter OF the tariff he agreed
to go after the robber putty tariff and
have it cut off at the bung hole.
Are You going to pull down DR..
Chastain's dag that he put up in the
Philippines ?" asked a young soldier.
"No sir" said Edison. 81 will
leave the DOCTORS little dag floating"
"What may we expect you to do
for lola and Allen county ?" inquired
a lanky youth.
"There is where Pm strong, and
I'm glad you mentioned it. What
will | do? First intend to try and
have the state appropriate money
enough to build fine court house in
the middle of the square. Failing in
this l shall urge that the square be
thrown open for settlement, something
after the manner of the Strip opening.
1t would be a goodly sight to see
American citizens making a run from
the border to secure homesteads in
that waste of land"
Business matters called the senator
that-would-be away just as he was
getting well started on a campaign
speech which he is coming over for
injection into an audience at one of
the school houses of the county in the
near future.

The school house out at Spring
Valley Friday was crowded, every
seat being filed by two or three, many
standing up throughout the meeting
and a score sitting outside ON the
porch. w. a. Choguill and Grant
Billbe made addresses and the crowd

ly. One more gentleman of Demo-
cratic proclivities came forward and
stated that while he voted for Bryan
four years ago he was with Mckinley
this year.
At Diamond school house, b. +.
Clifford and S. j. Stewart addressed

McKINLEY'S POTATOES
Commission Men Flocked to Canton
TO Buy the Presidents Potatoes

Canton, Ohio Oct. 4.-President
Mckinley owns farm near Minerva,
about eighteen miles southeast of
here. on which was raised this year
big crop of potatoes. The fact was
published Sunday, and Immediately
dealers began to secure the crop. 5.
II. Weaver, commission merchant
of Columbia, Pennsylvania was visit
ing here and reached the place first.
He could not deal with Adams, the
tenant, Sunday, but he made an early
Monday morning date, and got the
1000 bushels at about five cents
advance over the actual market value.
The deal was scarcely closed before
another dealer appeared and increased
an earlier offer by five cents. He was
told that he was to late. At the
station Weaver says six other dealers
were met, and that they offered a
premium of fifteen cents before they
we're told that the deal was closed

GRIMES TO BE SUED.
Kansas Democrats Devise a New
Campaign Scheme.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. Suit will be
uted at Topeka tomorrow against
H. Grimes, Kansas state treas
u.er. to recover interest on the daily
balances of the states money kept by
him on deposit in the Topeka banks.
The Democratic state committee is be-
hind the suit. j. Mack Love came to
Topeka last Friday and retained Wat
ers 81 Waters and Ferry 81 Doran to
bring the proceedings. The petition
will be brought in the name of some
single individual on the relation of
the state. The Democratic statesmen
here are not certain yet whether the
case will be filed in the Shawnee coun-
ty district court or inthe federal court.
They have left that question to the at
torneys.
The object of the Democratic com
mittee in bringing this proceeding is
to try to stir up a sensation. Some
tning must be done by them to create
some interest in the campaign. They
can'tget the people enthused over thei
candidates or set of principles this
year in Kansas. They hope this suit
will put some life into the campaign
from their side.
In the petition it will be charged
that State Treasurer Frank Grimes
receives large sums of money monthly
from the various Topeka banks for
state funds which he keeps on deposit,
and that the state and not himself is
entitled to the interest. The attor-
ney at Topeka are figuring up the
amount which they claim he has drawn
up to date and will ask that he turn it
over to the state.
While it is merely a gness with
them, they say that the interest on the
daily balances of the state funds ag-
gregates in the neighborhood of 81 900
month. They say it will net at
least $40, 900 year. But when their
attorneys get through figuring, this
amount may be materially reduced.
'The state treasurer usually keeps
from $500, 600 to $500, 900 on deposit in
the Topeka banks" said member of
the Democratic state committee here
yesterday. Banks pay per cent on
daily balances. If the deposits will
average $500, 600, then the yearly in
terest would aggregate $4,000. But
the attorneys will figure out the exact
amount and put it in the petition"

as follows: at is reported on author
ity of gentleman in position to know
exactly that the Hoffman mills OF En-

/, 1900, the handsome sum of $l55, 900
in cold cash. G. B. Hoffman, the well
known politician and Populist candi-
date for state senator, is principal
owner of the mills and is to be con-
graduated on the splendid prosperity
that has come to him. Probably no
man in Dickinson county has made so
much money in the past five years as
he has in twelve months. 1t is a
handsome fortune and at this rate he
will soon be a millionaire.

TRAIN ROBBER KILLED.
Near Council Bluffs an Express Mes
senger Shot a Bandit.

Council Bluffs Ia, Oct. 10. Two
men boarded the Burlington's Kansas
City train south of here last night and
ordered Engineer Donnclly and Fire
man Frank Holman to slow up. One
of the men covered the engineer with a
Winchester rifle and the other un-
coupled the day coaches and sleeping
cars from the express and mail cars.
Then the engineer was ordered to take
the train half mile down the track
and stop. The robbers then ordered
Baxter, the express messenger, to
open the door of his car and he re-
fused. Engineer Donnelly was forced
to place dynamite under the side door
and blow it open. In the meantime
Messenger Baxter seized his revolver
and escaped from the door on the OPP
posite side of the car. AS soon as
the door was opened one of the rob-
bers entered the car while his COM
panion marched the engineer and fire.
man back to the engine.
Baxter crept around in front of the
engine, and seeing the robber stand
ing guard over the engine crew, fred
one shot, killing him. AS soon as
the shot was heard the robber in the
car jumped to the ground and fed
through corn field.
The dead man was placed on board
and the train was backed into this city.
Thesbody was searched, but nothing
was found on it by which it could be
identified. 1t was dressed in neat
suit of black clothes, over which over
alls and jumper and been drawn. In
the pockets were found about $l5 in
money and a watch and chain.
The robber inside the car was pre-
pairing to blow the safe at the time his
companion was killed. He ceased the
operations at once and no damage
was done to the contents of the car,
nor was anything taken. After put
ting on a new express car and trans
ferring the freight the train proceeded
to Kansas City.
This morning the body of the dead
robber was identified as that of a man
who worked for a short time about a
month ago in the barber shop of Fritz
Bernhardt of Council Bluffs. How
ever, Chief ofPolice Donahue of Omaha
saw the body today and says it is not
that of the barber. whose name was
Poorman and who formerly worked in
Omaha.
a man who gives the name of d. Il.
Knight was arrested this afternoon on
suspicion of being the accomplice OF
the man who was killed last night. He
came in upon the train from Pacific
Junction, Ia, and Immediately on
reaching the city purchased morning
paper, read the account of the robbery
and started to leave the place where
he had gone to read the paper.

MIss wilson. Counts Treaanrer.

Tuesday morning, October o. 1900
Miss Frances Wilson, who was elected
TO the Office Of county treasurer in the
November election Of 1899, assum-
ed her duties. She will be assisted
by Lewis Conield, deputy.
MIR. NJ. L. Decker. the retiring
treasurer, leaves an enviablc record
behind him. The duties of the Office
are combining and complex but he has
staid at his post all the time and
waited upon the public i'm gracious
and genial manner, never Sinking
his duties, never declining to confer
favor, and all the time scrupulously
caring for the public trust committed
to him. There has been never the
slightest breath of suspicion of his
absolute honesty and not citizen of
the county has dreamed or worried
for a moment that anything was
wrong. He has served the county
faithfully for four years and in depart
ing from the Office takes with him the
high esteem and the grateful thanks of
the public.
In this connection it is pleasing to
the lola friends of the family to know
that there is a bright prospect that
they will remain in lola and not re-
turn to the farm in Usage township as
was at first planned.
The new regime begins Tuesday and
no one doubts the efficiency of the
new force. Miss Wilson has been de-
putty for years and knows every detail
of the work of the Office. She has ex-
planned the mysteries to several in
coming treasurers and much of the
responsible work has been her portion.
That she is at last to get the reward
of her excellent services is pleasure
to all her friends.
The Office of treasurerhas been salts
factorily filled for the past four years
and the REGISTER feels no hesitancy
in predicting confidently that it will
be filed most worthily the coming
four years.

Only German Daily in Kansas Comes

Leavenworth, Kansas, Oct. 8.-The
Leavenworth Daily Tribune, the only
German daily in Kansas, has bolted
Bryan, Breidenthal and the Demo-
Pop outfit from top to bottom. This
paper supported Bryan in 1896 and
rendered very effective work among
the large German population of the
state for the fusion forces. It's change

NINE ARE INDICTED
Wright County Men Accused OF
Smooth SWindle


Springfield, Mo-. Oct. 5.-The
federal grand jury at this place has
returned indictments against nine
Wright county men, who are alleged
to have been engaged in an organized
swindle. Owing to the prominence of
the parties, the indictments have
causedsa sensation.
Those who have been arrested are:
II. II. Ball, j. NJ. Butcher, George
II. Delaney and two Baney brothers,
all prom inent Wright county citizens.
Other prominent ones have been in
dicted but not yet arrested.
The scheme of the alleged swindlers
was a cunning one. Their plan was
to pick up man with no property,
deed him Il quarter section of rock
and hills, and one OF the crowd would
make statement as to the wealth OF
the man, placing his assets as high
as 10000 In this way they sue
ceeded in getting large bills of goods
from Wholesale houses in Kansas City
and st. Louis. After the goods were
received the merchant" failed and
the profits we're divided. 1t is said
their scheme was worked to the
amount of $4,000. The Indictment
charges the use of the mails for
fraudulent purposes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by maintained con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

A YELLOW FEY Err CURE
A Young Italian Has Probably Earned
MeXicO's 100000 Prize.

City of Mexico, oct. 5.-One hundred
thousand dollars is the price which
DR.. Angel Bellinzaghi, a young Ital
ian specialist, may win as the discov-
erer OF a serum which cures yellow
fever. Several years ago the Mexican
government made standing offer of
500, coo TO the discoverer of remedy
for yellow fever. The scOurge is epi-
demic every year in the lower gulf
ports and on the isthmus of Thueante-
pee.
In June DR.. Bellinzaghi came to the
City of Mexico to obtain permission
from the government to make expert
ments at Vera Cruz, where the yellow
fever was then raging. While DR..
Bellinzaghi was awaiting the custo-
mary formalities to be complied with
David Fitzpatrick, an American who
had come from the Isthmus, was taken
i'll with yellow fever in it's most viru-
lent form three or four days after ar
irving in the city. He was taken to
the American hospital, where his case
was pronounced hopeless. No case OF
yellow fever developed in this altitude
and contracted in lower altitude had
ever been saved. A. w. Parsons, the
physician in charge of the hospital
gave permission to DR.. Bellinzaghi To
try his serum npon the patient. DR.
Bellinzaghi visited the patient on the
fourth day of his illness, after al
hope for life had been given up. The
patient had the black vomit, tempera
ture which is considered fatal, hi
system was thoroughly permeated will
the disease and the action of the kid
neys was entirely stopped, a symptom
W hich is always considered fatal. DR.
Bellinzaghi injected twenty grains o
his serum on the first day he visited
the patient and succeeded in Producing
his temperature and pulse. On tn
second day he injected thirty grains
on the third day sixty grains and Of
the fourth day eighty grains. On tn
second day the vomit disappeared an
on the fourth day the action of tn
kidneys was redtored. Three day
later the patient was discharged frol
the hospital.

little betting was done. The scrim-
mage was short and the LaHarpe bird
quickly had the lola bird lon the trot
and never let upuntil the judges declar-
ed the fight over, when the lola bird
looked much like the roosters which
will be in demand by Democratic pap
