BRESCI SENTENCED.
Short Work Made of King Hum
bert's Slayer.

Milan, Aug. 29.lThe trial of Bresci, the
anarchist, who on July 29, shot and kill
ed King Humbert of Italy at Monsa
while his majesty was returning from
gymnastic exhibition, opened here today.
An immense crowd Of people gathered
about the court from early morning
seeking admission to the court room
where only a few places were reserved
for the ticket holding public. The hear
ing began at o'clock.
Rresci sat in the dock calm and al
most Indifferent His counsel, Signor
Martelli, head of the Milan bar and the
anarchist writer, Signor Morlino, made
requests on various grounds for an ad-
journment, which were refused. 1t is
said that BreSci wrote to the judges de-
claring he would not reply to the inter-
rogatory.
While the indictment, which was very
long, was being read, Bresci was appar-
emily unmOved and scanned the faces of
the audience without any signs of fear
or effrontery. The indictment showed
that the assassin indulged in incessant
target practice and that he prepared
bullets so as to render them more dan
gerouS.
The witnesses were then introduced
There We're eleven for the prosecution
and five for the defense. The examina-
tion of Bresci followed.
He declared he decided to kill King
Humbert after the events of Milan and
Sicily, ito avenge the misery of the peo-
pie and my own" He added, ct acted
without advice or accomplices."
The prisoner admitted the target prac-
tice and the preparation of bullets. He
spoke in a low, firm voice and said he
fired three shots at three yards with
his revolver. Two wooden targets were
here placed on the table before the
judges.
Two hours suspension of the court en-
sued and then the witnesses were heard.
A brigadier of gendarmeS, Salvatore,
recapitulated the story of the assassina-
ton of the king. He said he saved
Bresci from the crowd, who nearly
lynched the assassin. Bresci when
rescued was covered with blood.
General Avogadro Des Contes Di
Quinto, the kings aide-de-camp who
was with his majesty, when the latter
was killed, recounted how the king was
shot, saying that the king tried to reply
crime. His majesty started: I truly
think -
The king stopped in the middle of the
sentence and said yes and then expired
The testimony of Witnesses Galimbert
and Oliviers did not adduce any new
facts
The royal groom, Lupi, deposed that
he seized Bresci by the throat A wit
ness named Ramella, who lodged with
Bresci and a friend three days prior to
the crime, said the prisoner was always
perfectly calm.
Bresci at the close of the trial, was
pronounced guilty and was sentenced to
imprisonment for life.

5000 KNIGHTS.
Participate in the Parade of the z. of
2. Military Division.

Detroit, Aug. 29-The military divis-
ion of the order of the knights of Pyth-
las did itself proud in its biennial parade
and the vast crowds who witnessed the
pageant gave enthusiastic approval all
along the line of march. Nine thousand
uniformed and helmeted knights and
musicians marched in rapid and orderly
manner over the route of five miles, and
were officially reviewed first by Supreme
Chancellor Sample and before dismissal
by Major General Carnahan. comman-
der of the uniformed rank.
The Ohio brigade, with more than o.
900 men in line, was the leader in point
of numbers. Indiana came next in size,
and Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michi-
gan were also leaders. Very few states
were wholly unrepresented.
All traffic in the down town streets
through which the parade passed was
suspended, street cars were stopped, and
on Woodward avenue where the throngs
massed most thickly, ropes were stretch
ed along the sidewalks leaving the broad
avenue clear. The only drawback was
lack of horses. All the headquarters and
most of the brigade officers were well
mounted, but a considerable number of
the regimental field officers were afoot
the local committee having failed to pro-
vide horses enough.

Clay County Instructs For Sem
ator Harris Reelection.
His Term Does Not Expire For
Two Years.
DEMOCRATS ALSO ACT.
Their Convention Endorses the
Course of the Senator.
News of Interest Concerning
Politics and Politicians.

The Democrats and Populists of Clay
county were the first to declare for the
reelection of United States Senator w.
A Harris at the expiration of his pres
ent term IN 1903. A senator is to be
chosen at the legislature of 1901, next
January, and the term now held by Mr..
Harris expires two years thereafter.
The Clay county Populists endorsed
Mr.. Harris by the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That we endorse the acts
of w. A. Harris, our United States
senator, and call special attention to
his efforts in saving millions to the peo-
pie Of the nation in the collection of the
Union Pacific debt alone; and we here
by instruct our candidate for state SEN
ator to work and vote for his re-elec-
ton in 1903"
This early declaration for Mr.. Harris.
two and one-half years before his time
for reelection, is In advance. of the ac-
tion of other counties Of the state, but
in view of the fact that the senate,
which is elected this fall, holds for four
years. the members who next January
vote for United States senator. will
have the same Office to perform two
years thereafter. So, if the Clay county
senatorial candidate be elected this
term of Office.
Clay and Dickinson counties are in
the same senatorial district. Should r.
Q. Little enter the race, the action OF
Clay county would embarrass him be-
cause it's an unwritten political law
that a man seeking this Office should
have the support of the legislative
members from his own district.
The Clay county Democrats adopted
the following endorsement of Mr..
Harris:
Notwithstanding the fact that Kan
sas has two United States senators. so
far as heard from w. A. Harris only,
has intelligently represented the people
of this state, and for his advocacy Of
measures which have become laws mil
lions of dollars have been saved to the
people.
hence and instruct our nominee for
state senator, c. B. Hoffman, If elected,
to use all honorable means for his re-
election at that time"
The Popu1ists endorsed the Republi-
can congress by adopting the following:
1--WE approve the action of congress
in refusing Roberts, the polygamist, a
seat in it's halls; and while we rejoice
at this as a mark of moral progress YET
we are reminded that under our present
Republican administration we have an
nexed lands wherein slavery and the
harem still exist. And we deplore the
fact that our president, the partner on
Providence, should sanction those twin
evils, forbidden by the constitution and
the laws. by guaranteeing to the Sulua
their slaves and their concubines. We
believe that the five thousand dollars
paid by US annually to support the
kings harem in the Sulu islands cculd
used, in the United States to a better
purpose"

sale of supplies in 1899 was 5,149; in

Catch the Rascals.

Several complaints have reached
as of depredations in town, which
should be taken notice of by the au-
thorities. Since horses and vehicles
are not allowed to stand on the main
street it becomes necessary to hitch
on back streets and alleys, and on
several occasions various articles left
in buggies and carriages have been
stolen, and horses have been ridden
and driven, while the owners were in
church. These trespassers should
be caught and properly punished,
and at the same time, as the town
council compels these horses and ve-
hicles to stand on back street and
out-of.the-way places the town sar-
geant should try to see to it, to some
extent at least, that they are not dis
turbed. 1t becomes under existing
conditions, costly and unpleasant
business for our citizens to come to
town, when it should be just the re-
er Sc.
