ASK TWO CONCESSIONS.
Gold Democrats Promise Fealty to the
Ticket If Only Bryan and Free Silver
Are Dropped.

indianapolis, Ind, May 24.-The gold
democrats of Indiana held an impor-
tant conference here Wednesday to
determine their position in the COM
ing campaign. Leaders say their pur-
pose to nominate national gold dem
ocratic ticket will be influenced by
the course of the Kansas City con-
vention. If no concessions are made
a national ticket will be put in the
field. Gold men have assurances that
free silver viii not be Endorsed by the
coming Indiana democratic conven-
ton. Resolutions adopted declare
that free silver is dead issue and that
it is every democrats duty to fight
Bryan. Of the administration the
conference says:
For principles in which we believe to be
McKinieyism we have nothing but abb
horrence. The Towering of Hannaism
and spoilism in the thievery and corrup-
ton recently unearthed in the Cuban adj
ministration make it impossible, as it
seems to US, for any democrat to support
Mr.. Mckinley.

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
A Blow to the Prohibitory Law.

A decision seriously Gripping the
Kansas prohibition statute, under
which many statesmen for liquor
houses have been arrested in Kansas
towns the last few months, was rem
-dered by Judge Hook, of the United
States circuit court. The judge de-
~clared unconstitutional section $3.50
of the revised statutes of Kansas,
which says that "any person who
shall take or receive any orders for
Intoxicating liquors from any person
i'll this state, other than a person au-
thorized to sell the same as in this
sact provided, or any person who shall
directly or Indirectly contract for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors with any
person in this state, other than a
person authorized to sell the same,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanOr and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished therefor as provided
in this act for selling Intoxicating
liquors" There is nothing now to
prevent an army of statesmen from
marching into Kansas and selling a
jug of whisky to any farmer or mer-
chant. The decision does not affect
the prohibitory law which prevents
the opening of saloons in the state
or the brewing and distillation of
liquors.

proposition to Claude Duval, the dem
ocratic nominee for congress: P. I.
Campbell consents to withdraw from
the race for congress in the Seventh
district and allow Claude Duval to be
made the fusion candidate if Duval
will sign a written agreement to di-
vide the dictation of the federal pat
ronage in the district equally with
Campbell in the event of Bryan's cleo
ton and to use his influence with the
administration to secure a govern
ment position for Campbell as good as
that of congressman in the event of
the election of Duval to congress.

Has the RaiIroad Any claim?

The receivers of the Central branch,
Union Pacific railroad, recently adver-
tised that they would sell over $4,000
acres of land along the Central branch
lines in Atchison, Brown, Jackson and
Marshall counties under order of the
United States circuit court. This has
created the greatest interest, as it in
wolves the homes of hundreds of farm
-ers who secured their property by
transfers made years ago. Attorneys
have assured them that their titles
are perfectly good and that the rail-
road has no claim.

Insanity No Cause for Divorce.

Rosa Fenkler asked the district
court in Atchison county to divorce
her on the ground that her husband
was insane. The court decided that
Mr. Fenkler was insane at the time
of his marriage and that therefore
the union was null and void without
divorce. Insanity is not ground
for divorce in Kansas, but the law
holds that an insane person is in
competent to make the marriage con-
tract, and that there is no binding
force about such a union.
