last one at Holton, which Mccarthy did
not attend and his presence assured the
visitors of half a dozen good speeches
and at least a dozen new stories He
was the best story teller in the organl-

ers in Kansas. There never was time
when Mccarthy was not ready to re-
spond to demands for a speech and he
always pleased his hearers.

of the Methodist church: G. W. Doug
lass, Roy Hesseltine, John tanning, w.
F. Ingham, and w. H. Farrager.

ried out during the day. On reaching
Topeka the pleasure seekers divided
into small parties and enjoyed them
selves as they were inclined Those
bringing lunches went to Garfield park
where 1t was eaten in the shade Other
parties visited the state institutions
Many climbed the many flights OF
stairs to the dome of the state house

COUNT SCHLEY OUT.
Says He Would Not Serve if Elected
Vice President.

Philadelphia. June 13.-The Times
says editorially:
THE name of Rear Admiral Schley
has been repeatedly suggested as on the
list from which the Democrats will be
likely to choose their candidate for
president or vice president, but all who
know the views of Rear Admiral Schley
uniformly declare that such use of his
name is not only unwarranted, but
against his own distinctly expressed
wishes and purposes. He was specially
careful before going to sea in command
of the South Atlantic squadron to de-
clare to his friends that under 10 cir
cumStances would he consent to become
a political candidate The expression
of the rear admiral refusing to accept
public office has just been repeated by
him in a private letter to the editor of
the Times dated Rio Janeiro, May 10,
from which the following extract is
taken:
q Your editorials touching the talk
of placing me in nomination with Mr..
Bryan reflects precisely what my views
are. know nothing of politics nor Of
political life, and under no circum-
stances would I allow the use of my
name before any convention for any
office whatever. I have passed the age
when presidential or any other kind OF
bees worry me I know nothing of the
duties of any political office, and am
fully content to live the years yet left
me in quiet retirement from the turmoil
of any office. am resolved irrevocably
not to accept any nomination if it were
| rendered and if in my absence I should
| be elected 1 would not serve
This letter from Rear Admiral Schle5
was written without any view of pub
| LEGATION and in all the frankness Of
trusting friendship but it is only an ae
of Injustice to him that his views thu
clearly and pointedly expressed SHOULD
/ be known to the whole country ~

Sheriff kinehart was eXonerated from
all responsibility The sheriff said:
Il made the best resistance in my power
The mob meant business. One ball whiz-
zed close 10 my head | could do nothing
against such numbers. / am afraid the af-
fair will have a bad effect on my daugh-
ter. She is sick and in bed. The uproar
and hsmmering made her terribly nervous
l recognized many of those in the crowd in
front of my residence but I have since
learned that they were only spectators
The lynchers were at the back door. The
Jail is not built to Withstand determined
assault and before the heavy iron bar the
men used the doors gave way like splin-
teTs.'
The body of Harris had been cut down
early in the morning by Sheriff Kinehart
II was prepared for burial by Undertaken
