MAN HUNT IN KANSAS.

Emporia, Kan, May 15.-Hundreds
of men on foot. on horseback and ia

robbed a bank at M~arysville, Kan, and
since then a posse of deputies have
pursued the robbers, travelling a dis
lance of $50 miles. About midnight
Saturday night the robbers were run
onto accidentally in the dark by Rob-
erts and a companion who had become
separated from the pursuing party.
Before they recognized the robbers one
of the latter had emptied both barrels
of Lis shotgun into Roberts, killing
him instantly. Roberts was within
about six feet Of the robbers and the
shot tore a big hole in his chest. The
robbers again fed. Later they stole
ex-Mayor Sargent's horse and buggy
and started south. Roberts was well
known in Emporia and the news of
his tragic death caused great excite
ment. Numerous posses were soon
formed and began securing the coun-
try. About & o'clock last night the
robbers had been traced to within
three miles of Emporia. Lynching
will surely follow their capture.

Afford No Field for American Enter
In pursuance of the policy now pur-
sued by the consular service of ascer-
tanning the state of foreign fields as
opportunities for American labor, cap
ital and enterprise. Horace w. Allen,
consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes
Tor the consular reports under date Of
January % that Korea now employs
no foreign military officers as advisers
or instructors in its army, and is not
likely to do so, owing to an agreement
made with Russia when a large staff
OF Russian officers were allowed to
leave. BY this agreement Korea an
nounced her ability and intention to
dispense with further assistance of that
Kind. The many requests from young
men who have recently left the service
OF the United States asking for posi-
lions in connection with the Korean
army are futile. There is no demand
for their services in Korea. There is
no demand for foreign advisers to the
Korean government. Although two
Americans who held such positions
have recently died, their places have
been filed, and there is no further de-
mand for assistance of that kind. The
newspaper report that one of these
advisers had been receiving a salary Of
$4,000 gold per annum Is entirely
misleading; such positions pay from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month. There is no
demand for employees Cd the railroads

Has Secured All over Europe to Hire

This is the first wal Great Britain
has fought against white enemies with
out buying foreigners to fight for us,
says a London paper. Until less than
80 years ago, when we had a war on
hand, we sent officials to Germany and
all over Europe, to engage men to fight
for us. The men engaged were most
ly old soldiers, and were hired to fight
until the war was finished. In 1856 an
invasion of England was feared, so
5000 Hessians were hired to come and
defend these shores against the ex-
pected attack. These hirelings were
paid at the British rate Of pay, and for
every man of them killed their king
was paid so much per head. Even
against the American colonists Hes
sian troops were employed. No won

ragged at this shameless action. The
landgrave of Hesse was paid $685.

slams lost in the war of independence.
This was the amount OF $3.50 per man.
The Irish rebellion of 1898 vas put
down chiefly by Hessian hirelings. In
the long struggle with Napoleon we
freely hired foreigners, but the bulk
OF the work was done by British sol
diers. Wellington found that he could
not rely on his m~ercenary gangs too

MARK TWAIN AS A NER.

Once only did Mark Twain appear in public, as a political speaker. As d conscientious republican, in his politi- cal preferences, Mir. Clemens took an active interest in the presidential cam paign of 1880. While visiting in FL mira, N. Y, in the fall of that year, he made a short speech one Saturday night, introducing to a republican meeting General Hawley. of Connect . cut. In the course of his remarks Mr. Clemens said:
 General Hawley is member of my church at Hartford. and the author of Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny that. But I am only here to give him a character from his last place. As pure citizen, I respect him; as a per sonal friend of years, I have the warm est regard for him; as a neighbor, whose vegetable garden adjOins mine, why-why. I watch him. As the au thor of Beautiful Snow he has added d new pang to winter. He is a square. true man in honest politics, and I must say he occupies a mighty lonesome position. So broad, so bountiful in his character that he never turned d tramp empty-handed from his door, but al ways gave him d letter of introduction to me. Pure, honest, incorruptib,e. that is Joe Hawley. Such man in politics is like bottle of perfumery in a glue factOry-it may moderate the stench, but it doesn't destroy it. l haven't said any more of him than l would say of myself.

WHAT BRYAN STANDS FOR.

And at what price will the ultimate result be gained in case of Bryan's cleo tion? At the price of the most violent and destructive crisis on record. such a crisis as can only be brought on by a sudden subversion of the standard of values and of the whole business credit. At the price of indefinite busi ness paralysis and distress. At the price of the ruthless spoliation of say ings accumulated by the toiling mas ses. At the price of robbing war vet erans of half the value of their pen siOns. At the price of greatly incrcas- ing the number of the unemployed by discOuraging enterprise and of curtail- ing the value of wages of those re- maining at work. At the price of the respect of the world for our intelligence and practical sense. And worse far worse than all this at the price of somC- thing which has never been foreited since this republic was born-at the price of the greatest good a nation can possess and for the preservation of which it should shed it's last drop of blood-at the price of our national hon or. For this nation. so rich and power ful, would stand before the world as a wantOn, reckless repudiator, as nothing better than a fraudulent bankrupt. This will be the cost of the experiment. Are you willing to pay the price?
 Fellow citizens, it is a grave matter, matter of vital import to the exist ence of this nation. The public men who teach such moral principles to the people educate the people for the con- tempt and abhorrence of mankind. The nation that accepts ouch moral prin- ciples cannot live. It will rot to death in the loathsome stew of it's own cor ruption. If the nation accepting such moral principles be this republic it will deal a death blow to the credit of dem ocratic institutions, from which the cause of free government will not re- cover for centuries.-Speech at Chicago Sept. }. 1S96

 MORE singer, on the water
 ABOUT storage question. MT.
 STORAGE Mess.nger favors the or
 ganization of an irriga- tion district in the county and the is suance of bonds to cover the entire cost of the construction of a reservoir. He takes the ground that many residents s sonally benefited by the operations of the reservoir might be expected to an- tagonize the bond issue, and assumes that if the burden were placed cn those sections that would be directly benefited there would be little opposi- tiOn.
 Il was inevitable that the discussion of the water storage question induced by the presentation of The Republi cans plan would bring out many ideas. It is conceded that water storage is essential to the welfare of the valley and it is encouraging to see the inter- est displayed in the general subject. MT. Messingcr's plan may be full of merit. but we say to him as we have to others, that only one plan should hold the boards at one dime. When that plan has proved to be impossible of adjustment it will be time to take up another. No general ever won battle by dividing his forces.
 Capitalists have said that if the county would aid water storage to the extert of half million dollars in bonds the reservoir would be built. One of these days the people of the valley will be called upon to say whether they favor such a proposition. If they do not, some other, possibly the one re- ferred to above, will be adva .ced. We must have water storage and the resi- dents of this valley must decide as to the method of securing it. We know of no better or cheeper IT ethod than the one proposed by ihis new wspaper.
