General Simon b. Buckner, Of
Kentucky, who, in 1896, was the
candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,
has returned from q trip abroad.
He said:
..The advices that ] have re-
ceived from Kentucky make me
believe that the Mckinley Elec-
tors will receive a majority of the
votes cast in that State.
..The real, simon-pure Demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky, have no SYM
pathy with either Organism or
Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through Kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy of the State. The
candidacy Of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform Is in oppo-
sition to the principles Of true
Democracy, and his election
would be menace to civil liberty.
I am not going to take the stump
for anybody, but I shall do what
I can to secure the reelection Of
Mr.. Mckinley.

GERMAN PAPER LEAVES
BRYAN

The German Tribune, Of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, the only Ger
man paper published In that
State, has left Bryan's standard.
The reasons for the change are
that the Tribune believes in pros
perity and sound money, and
that the cry OF "imperialism' Is
false. The Tribune supported
Bryan four years ago. It has
circulation Of 1900 weekly all

POPULIST PROPOSITION.
A Plan Being Considered to Save Bryan the
Embarrassment of Being the Regular
Nominee of That Party.

Chicago, March 26.@Should plans
how being considered by leading MEM
bers of the democratic and peoples
party national organizations ripen in
to an agreement, William j. Bryan
will be saved the possible embarrass-
ment of going before the country
as the regular nominee of the peoples
party and as subscriber to doctrines
which perhaps might prejudice his
candidacy. 1t is proposed by several
leading members of the peoples party
that the national convention nomi-
nate Senator William V. Allen, of Ne
braska, for the presidency, and en-
power the executive committee of
the party to fill any vacancy on the
ticket that may result from death,
resignation or otherwise. After the
Kansas City convention of July 4,
at which the promoters of the plan
expect William J. Bryan will be NOM
mated, it is proposed that Senator
Allen shall withdraw from the peo-
pies party ticket and that the execu-
tive committee of that organization
shall name Col. Bryan to fill the va
cancy. 1t is provided further in the
reported scheme that one condition
shall be made irrevocable in considera-
ton of the Allen demonstration.
1t is insisted by the peoples party
managers that the democrats shall
include a direct legislation plank in
their platform.

Mas discovered early this morning in

Car and Foundry company at Twelfth
street and Belt Line tracks, Armour

Packing company's car wheel works,
which adjoins the property. The Nc

is on the opposite corner, but as the
car tracks are between, it is likely
that the fire will be kept within
bounds. A general alarm was turned
in, but as the water connections in
the suburbs are not adequate for a
big fire. it is likely the two plants
will be 4 total loss, which is estimated
at $l50,0OO. There were $50 cars be-
longing to the Armour Packing COM

Ellsworth Must Pay tho Bonds.

Judge Hook, of the federal court,
decided that whenever two towns be-
come involved in a county seat war
and issued bonds to assist in such
fights that the town winning the VIC
tory is responsible for payment of
these bonds. 1t was in the case of
Charles B. Masslich against Ellsworth,
Kan, for bonds issued in 1856, which
the town of Ellsworth refused to pay.
The bonds were issued by Kanopolis
leaders to raise money to fight Ellis
worth and win the county seat and
eventually the state capital. They
amounted to $4,000. The Ellsworth
people finally won out. but refused
to pay either the interest or princi-
pal of these bonds. After Kanopolis
lost the fight the town of course
could not pay the debt. and Els
worth, having assumed most of the
towns population. was called upon
to make the settlement.

Guthrie, Ok, March 27.-The law
passed by the Chickasaw Indian ma
ton, providing that white men must
pay $1,000 license fee to marry Chick
asaw Indian girls, went into effect to-
day and will be rigidly enforced. The
law also provides that white men
wishing to marry must also prove that
they are of good moral character.
The measure was enacted to lessen the
abuses of intermarriages. Since the
bill was passed by the Chickasaw
council last December it is estimated
that 1,700 white men took out licenses
to marry Indian girls in order to eS.
cape the new tax of $1,000.

and upheld the action of the board
