Can't Kill Owen Moran.

Tie irrepressible owen Moran, of 9l9
Hampton street, bobbed up again in
police court yesterday morning, and in
addition to occupying the center of the
stage in his customary role of plain
drunk. he now has the undisputed dis
tinrtion of being the only man OH the
ro.loc docket records who successfully
stopped a passenger train with his
Iniehty right shoulder.
1t all happened this way: "Owney"
left the central city about o'clock
Saturday night and started for home
by way of the Bridge street route.
When he reached the Delaware and
Hudson crossing, near the gas house,
little thing like a passenger train
had no terrors for him. and he tried
to derail the shoulder by pushing his
si." ulder into the pilot.

AWKWARD QUESTIONS.
Senator Bacon as Seeker After
Information.

Washington, April 20-Soon after
the senate convened today Mr.. Bacon
(Ga.) offered two resolutions, one in
quiring of the secretary of war whether
army officers had received, or were re-
ceiving, salaries for the performance of
civil duties in addition to their regular
pay; and the other inquiring about the
expenditures made for rent of officers
quarters, equipages and all similar ex-
penses.
MIR. Bacon said the first resolution was
introduced in response to a challenge
made yesterday by Mr.. Chandler He
had no specific information on the sub
ject and indeed had received assurances
that no such extra salaries were paid.
AS TO the second resolution, Mr.. Bacon
said he did not wish to be understood as
preferring charges of extravaganza
against either the administration or the
army officers. He had no definite in
formation respecting expenditures OF
officers in Porto Rico and Cuba, buI
prejudicial rumorS regarding those eX-
penditures had been made on the quar-
ters and furnishings for our officers IN
Porto Rico and in Cuba and for their
other expenses than had been made for
the comfort and convenience of the
former Spanish governors of those is
lands He did not Vouch for those state
ments but thought they ought to be in
vestigated. Both resolutions were OBJ
jected to and went over.
Mr. Hale presented the conference re-
port upon the additional urgency de-
ficiency bill and it was agreed to.
Mr. Gallinger offered a substitute for
the resolution he introduced yesterday
asking for information as to the reve-
nues derived from stamp taxes The
substitute directs the secretary of the
treasury to furnish a statement of the
sum derived from the war revenue act,
the items regarding each subject of tax
alton to be adopted separately. The
resolution was agreed to.
Mr.. Cullom called up the conference

Fusionists Do and Undo a Few
Things

The plans of the politicians were up
set at Columbus yesterday by the in
PRODUCTION of a novelty in campaign
ing. While a part of the Democratic
convention was out comforting with the
Populists upon the terms of fusion. the
Democrats endorsed G. H. Smith, of
Baxter Springs. for congress in the
Third district. Then the Baxter Springs
delegation bolted the convention This
was contrary to the plan to instruct for
Farrelly. A motion to reconsider the
endorsement was carried and the Dem
ocratic convention adjourned to meet
May 3 at Columbus.
The fusion deal was effected and the
following Democratic nominations
made: Probate judge, R. M Cheshire
of Columbus; superintendent of schools,
N. e. Montgomery, of ScammOn: two
members of board of county high school
trustees, T. J. Vest, of Galena, and
Phil Keener, of Scammon, and repre-
sentative of Twenty-sixth district, e. c.
Weilep, of Galena. The Populists Sc
cured: State senator of Tenth senate
rial district, NJ. A. Householder who
has held the office for the past eight
years; representative of the Twenty
fifth district, T. Wilkenson, of Weir
City; clerk of district court, }. NJ

CAPITAL BOLTS NICHOLS.
Republican Organ Refuses to Support
Nominee For County Attorney.

The Topeka Capital. in a half col
umn editorial this morning, bolts the
nomination of Galen Nichols for county
attorney, alleging that the method of
his nomination absolves all honest Re
publcans from every obligation to sup
port him. The editorial charges that
beer, whisky and money were used by
the agents of the breweries of Kansas
City to secure the nomination of Mich
OILS. and it then continues:
NO intelligent citizen can doubt for
one moment that the primary of last
Saturday, held for the purpose of nOmi-
mating county officers, was made motor
iously corrupt by the efforts of the Ii
quOr interests to secure a county attor-
ney upon whom they can depend to pro-
tect them as far as in his power from
severe penalties. and one who win be
liberal in dismissing cases for lack OF
evidence. This feature of the primary
was scandal and an outrage upon the
Republican party. To permit it to go
unrebuked is to pay a premium upon
lawlessness and to encourage the
whisky dealers of Kansas City to de-
Dauch our voters and our ballot boxes.
The Capital wishes to say regarding
the candidate for county attorney upon
/ whom the jointiStS and liquor dealers
concentrated their support that if one
third the excessive vote cast for Mr..
Nichols in the First and Second wards
Hdu Deen thrown out II would nave de-
feated him. Out of a total vote for
county attorney in the city and coun-
try, of 6,031. Mr.. Nichols received 2, 2,531,
/ Charles F. Spencer. 2,371. and T. F.
Doran, 1129. Mr.. Nichols being nomina-
ted by a plurality of 159. lacking over
! thousand votes of having a majority.
| The plain fact apparent to every honest
| and candid man is that Mr.. Nichols did
! not in fact receive a plurality of the
| Republicans who voted at the primary
This in the judgment of the Capital
! absolves every Republican from every
/ ophgatlon to support Mr.. Nichols. If
! republicans must accept the nomina-
tlons forced upon them by the jointists
| ana brewers and whisky dealers of
/ Kansas City the party will lose its ma
Jority IN this county. There is only one
way to stop such outrages and that IS
/ 70 defeat every nominee who secures his
/ plurality by the aid of lawbreakers. The
| republicans of Shawnee county de-
mand clean and honest primaries and if
/ candidates resort to rotten methods to
secure nominations they will be defeat
ed at the polls. The time has come to
demand decent, honest politics and to
repuke whisky dealers who try to con-
! troll officers by nominating them"
