BYNUM HEARD FROM.
Says There Will BE No National
Gold Democratic Ticket.

New York, July IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
1.-The gold Democrats will not put a
ticket in the field this year." said w. d.
Bynum, of Indiana.
1--WE can not get our electors on the
official ballot in New York, because no
votes were cast for the party candidate
for governor in 1898. The state law re-
quires that certain number of votes
shall have been cast for state officers in
the preceding election before the nomi-
nees of any party can go on the official
ballot in the pending contest Our party
organization in New York was aban-
doned two years ago. members of our
party voting other tickets.
1.-THE only way we can have our can
didateS for election put on the official
ballot is by petition of a certain number
of voters in each county, an exceeding
ly difficult thing to do in the present
case as the members of the Gold Dem
ocratic party have affiliated themselves
with one or the other of the old parties
on the issue. New York is the one state
where our ticket might do the Republi-
cans some good and if we can not get liz
on the official ballot there is little use, of
nominating a national ticket. The new
Australian ballot laws in other states
also operate against independent move

of Alexander Jester.

st. Louis. Mo, July 13.-A special to
the Dispatch from New London,
Mo, says: Ex-Governor Charles p.
Johnston of st. Louis, one of the chief
attorneys for the state in the trial of
Alexander Jester, charged with the kill
ing of Gilbert Gates, brother of John
w Gates, made a statement today as
to the reasons which led to the prosecu-
ton by Gates of the aged prisoner. Said
he;
'*The Gates family had long since Civ
en- up all intention of ever pushing the
case of the murder of their boy to trial
One year or more ago this man was
forced again to the attention Of the
Gates family under the most peculiar
john w. Gates told US he felt it duty
he owed to the memory of his dead
brother, a duty he owed the state, and
above all, a duty he owed his aged
parents to demand a vigorous trial and
an unearthing of all the testimony
possible We have had detectives fol-
lowing that open trail through four
states and know nearly every act OF
Alexander Jester for the past thirty
years"
Francis Marion Dawson who lived
about four miles east of the Hulin Lane
and south of the Paris, Mo, road in
1871 took the stand today He testi-
fed that in January, 1871, he met Alex
ander Jester in this lane The old man
had two teams and two wagons They
were standing still in the road at a
point east of the West Madison road
AS Mr. Dawson passed by Jester asked
him how far it was to a road that he
could turn south on This evidence is
considered significant as showing that
TESTERS turning from the main thor
oughfare was not accidental but to con-
ceal his alleged crime
John DeMott of Valley Center, Kan,
testified that he had lived there twenty
years and had known Jester for thirty
wears He said Jester lived with his
wife and seven children and that he
never knew him as Hill. He had around
his place in 1870 a two horse jolt"
wagon and a buffalo calf The witness
said Jester farmed and also exhorted a

RIVERS ARE DRY.
Arizona is Suffering From an
Unusual DrOuth.

Los Angeles. Cal. July 13--Reports
from the droutf stricken sections of Ar
izona are to the effect that every water
hole and most of the wells have gone
dry. In consequence cattle are dying
by the thousands and their shrunken
frames dot the desert country of Pima,
Pinal, Santa Cruz. Yuma, Cochiz and
parts of Marcopa countries. The loss to
owners of herds can not be computed, as
in their present gaunt condition no mar
lxet can be found. Rarely in the history
of the territory has the water in the
Gila and Salt rivers been SO scarce. Not
a drop is reported in the Gila, and there
is none in the San Pedro from Benson to
it's confluence with the Salt river above
Phoenix.
At Casa Grande the immense reservoir
is dry, the supply having long since
been exhausted. Crops of alfalfa, bar
ley and wheat between Florence and
Casa Grande, as well as on the Indian
reservation at Sacton where the Pimas
dwell, are beyond hope. Added to this
all is the destruction of timber by the
forest fires which continue to rage in
the Santa Catalina mountains
