WHITAKER IS STILL MIssING'
Salinas Mystery is Not Yet Solv-

Capt. Whitaker, who mysteriously
disappeared from Salina on December
2, is still among the missing. Moth
ing defnate has since been heard
from him and his present wherea-
bouts are not known. 1t is thought
by many, however, that he has gone
to South America.
Two days after Capt Whitaker left
Salina Mrs. Whitaker's father. who
was then Massachusetts,, received an
unsigned letter which was written at
St. Louis, stating that Mrs. Whitaker
had been abandoned and suggesting
to her father that he 60 to her.
Capt. Whitaker was about the only
man who could have written such O
letter from St. Louis at that time,
John Macdonald of Topeka says
Whitaker talked to him several weeks
ago and said that he was greatly
troubled with insomnia, and Mr.
Macdonald could see there was some
thing the matter with Whitaker's
mind. From this it would look as
though Whitaker had lost his mine
entirely and wandered away, or else
committed suicide on account OF his
insomnia.

ACNE, Kas., Jan. 8.-There has
been no change yet in the Acme
Creamery Company and it is still con-
Quoted as heretofore by the Acme
Creamery Company directors until
the intending new company qualify
themselves to comply with the con-
ditions as agreed upon between the
two parties. 1t is peculiar fact
that some OF the Acme Creamery
Company directors who have sworn
to support and secure its best inter-
ests are the leaders Of the new party
seeking to disorganize the Acme
Creamery Company.
The Acme Creamery Company or
ganized in the fall OF 1896 their first
object was to organize a cooperative
company each member to hold one
share only and no one to hold a share
except he brought milk to the
creamery. Finding it impossible to
sell enough shares to raise sufficient
funds to organize. they induced
others to increase their number OF
shares and organize the creamery as
corporation under the state laws Of
Kansas, some Of the present decriers
signing the application for a charter
iorths said company. One hundred and
twenty have been issued, thirty-sever
to one branch Of the Engle family

RoBBER KILLED HIM.
Former North Dickinson Resident
Murdered for His Money.

TALMAGE, Jan. 9-The details have
reached here Of deplorable affair
which occurred at II p. m. Dec. 2s at
Sioux City, Iowa, when John E. Rob-
son, whose father resides in Cheever
township, was attacked while in his
office alone by robber, who sought
500 that Robson carried for another
person. The assassin struck him a
fearful blow on the head and the
wounded man lay in his blood all
night and was not found till Satur'
day morning, but he had bound with
his handkerchief his head. J He was
conscious when found and taken to
bis home. He walked up stairs to
his bed and when the surgeons ar
rived they ordered him to a hospital
and he walked down stairs again.
But on Sunday morning he died from
the effects Of his injury. Mr. Robson
is a son OF Prof. John. W Robson of
Cheever. He was bridge contrac-
tor, highly respected by his employees
and 'acq uaintances generally

while sixty per cent Of the patrons
delivering milk to the creamery do
not own shares in the company and
none OF those non-shareholders are
known to have expressed any dissatis-
faction with the creamery or its
managers and il appears that this
discussion has originated from per-

CHEAP BINDING TwINE.
Kansans Are Complaining Because
the Price Has Advanced.

Binding Irvine is now fully 100 per
cent higher than in the early months
of 1898. The advance is attributed
by the manufacturers to the scarcity
Of Manila fiber, caused by the closing
Of the Philippine ports by the govern
ment. As the native Philippine arm
les have been dispersed by our troops
and the islands are now under our
control, It seems permissible to re-
open the shipping ports and ADMIT
Manila fiber that has accumulated
there during the past year. Kansas
parties interested in the sale and use
of binding Irvine have petitioned the
government by individual letters to
their state representatives in Wash
ington on the subject. D. W. Blaine
Of Pratt county, has addressed the
following letter to James Wilson,
secretary Of agriculture:
during the past eighteen months
binding Irvine has advanced fully 100
per cent. 1t is generally understood
that il the Philippine ports are open
on or before January 10 a sufficient
amount Of fiber will reach the market
and the factories from these islands
in time to meet all the requirements
and thus permit the markets to drop
back to their normal conditions,
while If the ports remain closed there
will be great shortage in binding
Irvine, which will enable the holders
of it to name their own price.
"a farmer cannot successfully har-
vest grain without Irvine. Several Oh
the states have already used convict
labor in manufacturing it in order to
bring the cost to the lowest possible
figure in the farmers behalf.
ever since binding Irvine became
factor in harvesting grain there has
been associated with its manufacture
and sale the name Of trusts and COM
bines, but this is the first time in the
history Of the United States govern
ment is charged directly with aiding
and abetting the importer andspecu'
lative manufacturer.
Therefore, in behalf Of the grain
growers, this appeal is made to you
as the head of the agricultural depart
ment, to take up the matter with TIT
administration, and il the Philippine
islands are now sufficiently under oul
control, that the opening Of the ship
ping ports will not seriously jeopar
disc our interests have measures TAX
en- Ithat will give Kansas farmer
cheaper twlne."

JONES, national committeeman, says
that if Bryan is elected he will imme-
diately order the troops home from
the Philippines, and turn the Philip
pines Islands over to he>natives. That
means the abandonment of American
sovereignty in the Philippines and the
hauling down of the flag that was
planted there at such a cost of blood
and money. Grover Cleveland tried
that experiment on a small scale in
the Sandwich Islands, and his memory
is cursed forit to-day by hundreds of
thousands of American citizens who
voted for him in 1884, and again in
1892. The election of Bryan this fall
would retire the Democratic party in
this country forever. Happily for the
Democratic party, as we'll as for the
nation, his election is not among the
possibilities. ~ f..

The Democrats were apparently
fearful that they could not secure q
fun attendance at their State conven-
tion, so they fixed the date for Septem-
Der 9th in order to get the benefit OF
the crowd that annually attends the
State fair. st is their obvious purpose
to inaugurate the. campaign at that
time and keep it going. Besides se-
curing the additional crowds that will
be in at the fair, they will get the ad-
vantage Of reduced rates for their
delegates, which will also bear fruit in
an attendance that might not other
wise be full The Democratic manag-
ers are wise as serpents. even if they

CHARLES A. ToWNE is understood

farce. It was simply a clumsily gilded
bait to catch The few PopulistFsuokers

luded into the idea that Bryan and

A MODERN VERSION.


The parable of the prodigal son may
patty be applied to many Of those erst-
while Republicans who during the past
two campaigns feasted with Bryan and
Towne and filed their bellies with free;
silver husks, but nothing so we'll illus
trates the condition of those scheming
politicians who mistook the Democra-
tic hearse for the bandwagon at the
head Of a triumphant procession of
Office holders as that homely story Of
the ranchman who attempted to sepa-
rate a young calf from flock of steers,
and who after countless exhausting
efforts to compel the calf to forsake it's
Improbable companions and cleave to
it's mother, cried out in rage as. the
foolish animal disappeared over a hill:
"Go it. you - -- fool! you'll find
out the difference when supper time
comes!' Most of the calves have now
discovered their mistake, and the voice
of the COW S son is heard in the land. =

If Governor Lind is again a candi-
date on the State ticket the Demo-
cratic managers will repeat the old
game of 1S9S-that of making the
semblance of a general campaign, and
in fact devote all their energy and
cash to the election of the head of the
ticket 1t is likely that the governor
himself and his direct gents will give
considerable attention to the legisla-
tive ticket, in the hope that the Re-
publican majority in the legislature
may be SO far reduced as to make
Lind's election to the United States
senate possible, but the main feature
OF the campaign, as in 1898, will be the
election of the man who controls the
patronage and gives out the jobs.
