Effort to Prove an Abb for the Ac-
| cused Begins.
The feature yesterday in the trial OF
Thomas X. Senter in the district court was
the testimony in support of an alibi given
| by Thomas II. Wagner of Memphis Mo-,
one of the attorneys for the defendant.
Wagner testified that on October II and
IA, 1898. when Senter is charged with being
! In this city, he was in his CWagners) Office
bank checks and other papers In connec-
tion with several carloads of cattle which
he shipped on the latter date. In support
Of his testimony Wagner produced certain
bank checks and other parers in connec-
tion with the shipment Of the cattle.
Attorney Wagner was on the stand the
greater part OF the afternoon session.
George Trease, a young lad who worked on
Senter's farm at Memphis. testified to
Senter being at home every night during
the month OF October in 1S9s
The defense has long array Of witnesses
to testify in support Of the alibi, among
the number being c. A. Dewey, agent Of
the Keokuk & Western railway at Mem
phis; f. Carter, general freight agent Of
the same road at Keokuk; Milo Cowan.
cashier of the Citizens bank OF Memphis,

Evidence for the state was closed yes
terday morning, although 1t is understood
several witnesses will be introduced later
in rebuttal Of the testimony offered for the
defense.
AS Judge Green has to 20 to Red Oak
to hold court there today he held a night
session last evening, the time Of which
was occupied in the reading of depositions
OF certain witnesses who were unable to be
present. The trial will be resumed Thurs
day morning.
While Senter is out on bail he has not
been released and he is obliged to stay
In the Jurisdiction of the court. This Is
due to the fact that Sheriff Cousins holds
warrant for his arrest on a charge of
defrauding ]. A. Van Slyke of Blue Earth,
Mimi, in similar deal to the one which
he is being tried on here. In the event
OF Senter being acquitted here he will be
promptly arrested on this warrant and held
for the Minnesota authorities.
Sheriff Cousins received word yesterday
from A. j. Jackson, cashier of the First
National bank Of Morrison, ILL.,, stating
that the authorities there had sent to the
governor Of Illinois at Springfield for requi-
sition papers for Senter. Jackson was re-
Gently in Council Bluffs and identified
Senter as the man who buncoed him on a
fraudulent land deal out of a large sum
of money ten years ago.
Sheriff Campbell Of Howard county, this
state, has also written to Sheriff Cousins
In regard to Senter. He states that man
named Reed at Cresco. Ia, who was VIC
timized in a similar manner to Lougee G.
Lougee. has identified Senter from his pho
tograph. Sheriff Campbell In his letter
asks for information concerning the chances
of convicting Senter here and intimates
that he will probably have q warrant for
him.

BRYAN and LINCOLN.
A Comparison That Might Almost Be Called
~Blasphemous.
Chicago Inter-O OCEAN,

lCnlcdSO lnCer-OCedn.)
In his letter accepting the silver party
nomination Mr.. Bryan again compares
himself to Abraham Lincoln. To Ameri-
cans who know-and who does not?-
what Abraham Lincoln was, what his
aims We're, what he stood for, Mr.. Bry-
ans assumption of equality with "the
first American seems close to bias
phemy. That such a juggling demagog
as Bryan should dare to liken himself
to Lincoln, the patriot, the statesman,
the liberator, the saver of the Union, is
sheer impudence.
What did Abraham Lincoln do, and
what is William Jennings Bryan doing?
Lincoln rose from the humblest station
by the hardest struggles, yet never
fought to array the poor against the
rich. Bryan was born to comfort, if not
70 affluence, had every advantage de-
MED to Lincoln, and yet asks men to
vote for him because they are poorer
han other men. Lincoln honestly paid
very public and private debt; Bryan
would defraud the nations creditors, in
'!uding the soldiers who saved it's life,
If half their just dues. Lincoln freed
1000, 900 black Americans from slavery;
Bryan is dumb while his party deprives
millions of the same Americans of the
ballot. Lincoln kept the American flag
)ver every foot of American soil: Bryan
would remove the flag from American
soil. Lincoln put down rebellion; Bryan
is the open ally of rebels.
