The Case Of Robert Lee.

1t is understood that Governor Jen-
nings has selected Senator MacWilliams
TO investigate the confession of Jim Kirby,
which, it is alleged, eXonerates Robert
Lee from any connection in the killing OF
Mr.. Askew, at Hastings, in May last.
While nothing can be learned as to the
progress of the investigation, the opinion
obtains that after report shall have been
forwarded TO the governor he will order
Sheriff Perry To proceed with the execu-
ton of the two men on August .. 1t
seems that Kirby is too dense and igno-
rant to realize that an accessory before
the fact is equally guilty, AMI that had
Lee put him up TO the murder that Lee is
a. guilty as he. Kirby, no doubt, has
the impression that the one actually com.
mitting a crime is guilty, and with this
idea il is possible that he made the state
ment. The confession simply states that
Lee had nothing To do with the killing.
Yet, Kirby has stated before and after
the confession that Lee planned it with
him. 1t is claimed that he also denied
this, SO it is impossible 10 ascertain when
he is prevaricating or when he is telling
the truth. If Senator MacWilliams has
been appointed To investigate the case his
report will be forwarded To the governor
in few days, and the report will be fin
al. Sheriff Perry has no doubt as TO Lees
guilt.

BRYAN IND THE OHIO PLATFORM.



VIII Fight 20 the Bitter End Against Aban-
doHment OF Kansas City Platform.
In his address before the Missouri edl-
tors last Friday, at St. Louis, Mr. Bryan
refrained scrupulously from mentioning
the recent action of the Ohio Democrats
in ''passing-up' the Kansas City plat
form, and in his public statements to the
press he declined to be interviewed on
that subject, replying to all questions:
81 do not care to talk now. will dis
euss the Ohio convention and its doings
fully in the next issue of my paper.
There is too much significance attached
TO that convention, think"
When asked about the reorganization
of the party, he stated to a representa-
tive of the local press: "The gold bugs, l
am afraid, are trying to administer alb
sent treatment to the rank and file of the
party"
'Yes," interposed Champ Clark, who
was at Bryan's right hand throughout
the afternoon, cit looks like a case of the
tail trying to wag the dog. do not
know what the issues of 1904 will be,
and l do not think Mr.. Bryan pretends
to know, but l know who will do the
issuing. 1t will be the men who were
faithful to the party in 1900"
Friday night, in personal conversation
with intimate friends, Mr. Bryan went a
little further in his discussion of the Ohio
Democracy's action, although he did not
90 as fully into the matter as it had been
expected he would.
81 do not object to having it distinctly
understood" he said, "that intend to
fight to the bitter end every effort to
force the abandonment of the Chicago
and Kansa1 City platforms"
Mr.. Bryan then discussed the colonial
policy upon which the Republican ad-
ministration has entered, declaring it to
be his opinion that that policy is now,
and is likely to be in 1904. the para
mount issue before the people of the
nation.
"On that ISSUE" he declared, "the
Democracy of the nation is united as
firmly as ever party organization was
united, and believe the majority of the
voters of the nation believe that the Re-
publican policy, as sustained by the su-
preme court of the land, is not the policy
which the American people want to fol-
low"
He reiterated his former views on this
subject and others.
Country editors of Missouri, who are
radical Bryan men, construe his remarks
on the Ohio case To mean that he will at
once set to work to build up an organiza-
tion IN every state to combat any tend
ency to ignore the platforms of the last
two national campaigns.

Florida Mutual Drug Co.

On September Ist the Florida Mutual
Drug company, who have organized to do
a wholesale drug business on a co-opera-
tive plan under the laws of the state of
Florida, with paid up capital of $50, 900,
will occupy their new premises on West
Bay street, just west of Bridge, Jackson
vile, in one of the new brick structures
being erected there for them. The build
ing will be- fitted up in fine shape, with all
modern conveniences, and will compare
for the capital of the company and size of
the stock carried with any of the large
wholesale drug concerns of the larger
cities. The office and salesrOOm fixtures
will be complete, and arranged for the al
lowance of the accommodation of large
ly increased business. There will also be
a large warehouse in connection with the
headquarters which will be fitted up.
The officers of the Florida Mutual Drug
company are: w. ii. Nook, president and
manager; w. G. Yeiser vice president and
treasurer, and +. S. Chaffee secretary
The stockholders are composed of fully so
per cent of all the retail druggists in the
state of Florida.
The subscriptions for stock have been
very encouraging, and large percentage
of the druggists of the state have gone
in-many of whom realize the need of
such company, and have shown their
interest and faith in the success of the
same by subscribing literally.
From the viewpoint Of an investment
those interested have conservatively fig
ured that there will be dividend of not
less than 20 per cent declared annually.
The mutual advantages which will be de-
rived from the organization are looked
upon by those interested as being of great
value To the drug trade of the state.
