A MISSING cHrxAxAS.

all answered but one ussu = chinarnau
who had been convicted of smoking
opium and was fined so and costs
The mans name was called but there
was no answer. 4 search was instituted
but he could not be located What had
become of him was the question TO be
answered and il had to be answered
pretty quick He had net left the
station through the same door he had
entered. Big Jim kupihe put his foot
down on any such hypothesis as that
No one had seen him climb up the side
OF the twenty foot wall surrounding the
Jail. No one in authority had let him
out but as he was not to be found the
conclusion was that he was out As
time wore on the mystery deepened and
the men charged with the safe keeping
of the prisoners were feeling very IN
easy. About seven o'clock in the even
ing the chinaman turned up. He had
been given permission TO leave the
courtroom by officer Hanrahan so he
said for the purpose of going down
town to get money to pay his fine. He
planked the fifty dollars on the clerks
counter and walked out of the station
while the officers present looked at
each other in blank amazement. They
did not know which to be more sur
prised at the return of the chinaman or
the manner in which he had been
allowed to depart.

The Outcome of His Recent Trouble
With a Kansas Horse Man
Near Eureka in Doubt.

Groome Gamble, Of the Columbus
Buggy Company of Kansas City, has
written to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. r. Gamble, who live southwest Of
Mexico, and given them the %particu-

which their son-in-law, Luther Foun-

sas farmer near Eureka, KaS., Tues
day afternoon, Nov. 20, a story of
which appeared in the LEDGER last
week.
Mr.. Gamble states in his letter that
Mr.. Fountain is in a very serious con-
dltion and that his sister, who was
formerly Miss Mamie Gamble, Of this
city, is with her husband in Eureka.
Mr. Gamble states in his letter that
Street, the Kansas farmer, struck
Fountain on the head with a pitchfork
after the sheriff, who was with them,
had disarmed Fountain, and that
Street broke two of Fountains ribs by
kicking him after he had been rem

CHAMP A CHEERFUL.
Sees No Reason for Encouragement
in the Election.

WASHINGTON, Nov.23.-Representa-
tive Champ Clark, of the Ninth Mis-
souri, District, arrived this evening.
He left home a week ago, stopping to
lecture ON the way east at Granville,
O., and Edinsburg and Lewisburg, Pa.
He was accompanied by his son, Ben
net, but other members Of the family
will not come to the capital this
winter. MI. Clark is in fine health,
having gained twenty-five pounds dur
ing the summer, in spite of his ardu
Gus campaign work. He Is not at all
cast down by the result Of the recent
elections.
"Whateyer else happened" said he
this evening, "Missouri did nobly and
sent thirteen Democratic Congressman
instead of twelve. If they had not
had a double-headed nomination In
joys district to start with the Demo-
Gratis would have had his hide, too. /
am not downcast or discouraged by
the licking we got. The most I'M
pleasant feature is, 1t will take us six
or eight years to get the Senate, in all
probability.
Gas to the proposition to reorganize
the party, it is a fact in natural his
tory that the tail cannot wag the dog,
and the same is true in politics.
The party does not need reorganiza-
ton to begin with. 1t is thoroughly
organized, and even If it were to be
reorganized it would not be from the
outside. We want everybody to come
in that feels like helping us, but we
have a perfect organization of our own
IL think this will be an extremely
busy session. The main thing the Re-
Lpublicans will do will be to ratify the
Hay auncefote treaty and pass a
Nfcaraguan Canal bill In accordance
with it, and pass Mark Hanna's ship
subsidy bill. If the Supreme Court
decides the Porto Rican bill unconsti-
t%utional, then the Republicans Will
run races with us as to which will drop
the Philippines first. But If it is de-
cided to be constitutional, then this
session of Congress will have to pass
some kind of a bill for the government
and control Of the islands.
"This, with the routine measures
and the new apportionment under the
last census, will make 1t an exceeding
ly busy session."
