own land, it was only a farmer
and nothing more, that poured
out the crimson tide of his life
on Lexington green, as a willing
sacrifice on liberty's altar, who
suffered with Washington amid
the sorrows of Valley Forge; and
who at Saratoga, Monmouth,
Bunkerhin and Brandywine, per-
formed deeds of valor that weld
ed his name to glory and undy-
ing fame.
cit was only a farmer and
nothing more who stood with
brave old Andrew Jackson be-
hind the cotton bales at New
Orleans and taught old England
that easier were it to hurl the
rooted mountain from it's base
than to force the yoke of slavery
upon men determined to be free,
and who at Chepultapec, Palo
Alto, Cerro Gordo and Buena
Vista carried the banner of the
republic to triumph and glory.
cit was only a farmer and
nothing more who climbed the
side of Missionary Ridge over
shrieking muskets, belching can
non and valiant men to pluck
the flower Of victory that bios
somed upon it's crest, and who
walked above the clouds on
Lookout mountain, swept down
the valley of the Shenandoah,
and marched as a conquering
host from Atlanta to the sea.
''It was only a farmer and
nothing more that stood like a
granite wall at Gettysburg as the
mightiest tidal wave of war in
all the world rolled against him,
and receding left him the victor
ious defender of the Union he
loved so well.
"Ah, yes it was only a farmer
and nothing more, who in all the
battles of the past fought brave
ly for the old flag until finally
upon it's staff the God of our ma
tion brought the eagle of victory
to nestle with the sweet dove of
peace.
"And in the future as in the
past, it is only a farmer and
nothing more that will be the
safeguard of our nation and will
protect our republic from the
clutches of agents of selfish,
greedy monarchies, and still
more selfish, greedy trust owners,
and will let it be known of all
men that liberty has erected it's
affairs upon our mountains, in
our valleys, on our spreading
plains and amid our picturesque
wood lands, and the weary, de-
serving pilgrim from every land

In 1895 Teddy Roosevelt made
affidavit, in Washington, that
he was not a citizen of New York,
the affidavit being made to avoid
paying taxes in New York. But
soon after he accepted the nomi-
nation for governor of New York
the state where he swore out OF
paying taxes. But little irregu-
larities like that are thought to
be very cute by republican polit-
icians. Teddy is also credited
with making the statement that
ssall democrats were traitors,

It Burns Easily.

There is q great difference in the
way fuel is burned. Put q green stick
in the stove and then q similar piece
after the sap or water has evaporated
from it. OF course you know, one
burns much more readily than the
other. 1t is just SO with the fuel
which we take into the body in the
form of food: OF all known fats and
oils, cod liver Oil heads the list in the
ease which it ia oxidized or burned up.
In Scott's Emulsion you get this, food
free from disagreeable oder aud taste.

KANSAS republicans are not
able to get together on what is
the paramount issue" of the re-
publican fight this year. Some
of them give their ideas in signed
statements in the Wall & Sneeze
of last week. Gov. Stanley says
the issue is prosperity" that
the thinking men of Kansas
credit the republican party with
bringing good wheat crops, etc.
The Governor further states that
s'the financial issue is dead, i'm
perialism is a bugbear, and trust
issue a pretense. But there are
others of the acknowledgements
of Kansas republicanism who
disagree with w. Eugene. Ex.
Gov. E. N. Morrill, says "the par
amount issue in this campaign is
the currency question" Fave
Mulvane, national COMMITTEES
man who succeeded Boss Cy Le-
land, says ''trusts and imperial
ISM" Bill Morgan, state printer,
says "Bill Mckinley is the para
mount issue.'' Judge E. H. Ellis
says ''imperialism.' Boss Le-
land says anything to win. :"
So, you see they differ widely as
to what is ''the paramount issue
from a Kansas republican stand
point; and none of those quoted
agree with the governor. Before
long they will doubtless get to-
gether and adopt Boss Cy's
motto of: Any old issue, so long
as we can fool the people and get
| the Offices.

THAT complaint is nonsense. The

contain statutes or to draft legislation
and If it ever does so it goes beyond it's

"A platform approves orcondemns poll

ENGLISH M SSIONARY
KILLED BY CHINESE

New York, March ga special to the

from China which show that, notwith-
standing the enc getic protests of the
diplomatic corps. the tsung Ii yamer is
apparently unable to stop he anti-for-
eign crusade which has been in progress
for five months past.
The first foreign missionary to lose his
life at the hands of the boxers was
the Rev. Mr.. Brooks, an Englishman,
who was a men1ber of the Anglican mis-
sion at Ping Y n. Shan Tung. Mr..
Brooks left the mission to spend the
Christmas holidays with his sister, who
ing through a village on the way to his
destination he wa $ attacked by about
5000 men, armed with knives. To escape
his assailants he entered a temple and
pleaded for aid from the read men of the
village, which they refused, and he was
elected from the building. He was
seized by the BOXERS" his clothing re-
moved. and with the Thermometer about
Is degrees above zero, he was led to an
other village. While his guards were
eating their monday meal Mr.. Brooks
managed to escape. but was pursued by
three horse1nen. who overlook him and
cut his head off with a sword.

can troops at the state house, under
orders from republican, Governor Taylor,
n the democratic troops at the court
house guarding prisoners Powers, Gull
ton and Davis, under orders from demo-
cratic Governor Beckharn, the day was
quiet. The republican adjutant general,
Collier, the democratic assistant adju-
tant general. Murray. were together
some time this morning. General Collier
called to disclaim responsibility for the
mine which some of the soldiers made
pretense of laying, but it is understood
their talk took on a wider scope and that
they discussed and mutually agreed upon
a plan to avoid possibility of any sort of
a clash between the troops.
Frankfort, KY, March 25.-The exam
lining trial for the republican secretary
of state, Caleb Powers. will be resumed
tomorrow morning. Sergeant F. Whar-
ton Golden, who, it is alleged, turned
states evidence, will continue on the wit
ness stand for cross-examination, his di-
rect testimony having been completed
Saturday. When he is through, Mrs.
Golden, his wife, will be introduced as
a witness also for the prosecution. and
it is reported that she will confederate
her husbands testimony on many inn
portant points. The physicians who
made the autopsy on the body of the late
Governor Goebel will also probably be in
troduced as witnesses.
The introduction of Mrs. Golden will
prove a surprise, inasmuch as 1t has
been the impression that Mrs. Golden
was angry at her husband on account OF
his confession.
Golden has completely recovered and
was on the street today. 1t is the gem
eral impression that the defense may
make no effort to c~ontrovert GOlden's
statement in the examining trial. An
examining judge needs to have only a
reasonable suspicion Of guilt to bind a
! prisoner over to the grand jury, and as
it is evident Judge Moore has this it
would be folly for the defense to show its
hand before the read trial. f#4I
