COSTLY MAIL PACKAGE MISSING.
Consigned 20 Bank at Great Bend,
Kan, With $1,000, But Disappeared.

Consigned 20 Bank at Great Bend,
& Kan, With $1,000, But Disappeared.
A special from Kansas City, Mo-,
says: A package containing $4,000 in
currency was consigned two weeks
ego by registered mail from the Ma
tional Bank ofsCommerce Of Kansas
City to a bank in Great Bend, Kan,
and it has never been delivered. The
officials at the post Office deny any
knowledge of the matter, but inspec.
$ tors have been at work on the case
since May 18th, when investigation
was made at Larned. 1t appears that
the theft must have been committed in
the post Office at Kansas City, the reg
istry branch at the union station, or at
the post Office in Larned.
BY some mistake the registered mail
for Great Bend was inclosed In the
inter-registered sack for Larned, and
when the postmaster at Larned opened
the pouch he found that there had
been a mistake by the registry depart
ment at the union station here. It
would be impossible for the railway
postal clerks to have opened the regis
tered pouch without detection, as the
pouch was locked with rotary lock,
which is numbered, and every time
the pouch is opened the lock registers
number higher than the one shown
before.
The postmaster at Larned says that
he received the pouch and gave his
receipt for it and that the contents did
not include the package of money.
The conclusion arrived at by the
post Office officials is that the package
was taken before the pouch left the
Kansas City office.

CONSTITUTION RIYEN
So Declares Bryan Anent Insu'ar
Decision Of Supreme Court.
MAKES M'KINLEY AN EMPEROR
Nebraskan Asserts that Republics
Foundation Is Assailed and
People Must Settle Issue
at the Polls.

Taking for his text the words "Em-
peror Mckinley" William ]. Bryan, at
Lincoln, Neb., has given out an extend
ed statement bearing on the supreme
court decision in the insular cases.
Mr.. Bryan declares the supreme court
has joined hands with the president
and congress in an effort to change
our form of government. and he calls
on the people to repudiate the verdict.
Mr.. Bryan says in part:
"By a vote Of 5 to 4 the supreme
court has declared President Mckinley
emperor Of Porto Rico and, according
to the press dispatches, the emperor
has gladly and gratefully accepted the
title conferred upon him by the high
est judicial tribunal of the land.
'Those who were encouraged to be-
lieve that the constitution has caught
I'D with the flag were doomed to dis
appointment In the Downes case, de-
cided Immediately afterward, major
ity Of the court, composed OF Justices
Brown, Gray, White, Shiras and Nc
Kenna, held that congress could deal
with Porto Rico, and the same logic
applies to the Philippines, without re-
gard to the limitations of the consti-
tuition. Chief Justice Fuller and Asso-
ciate Justices Harlan, Peckham and
Brewer dissented in strong and Wig
orous language, but the opinion OF the
majority, even a majority CT one,
stands until it is reversed.
This Is one of the most important
decisions, If not the most important,
rendered by the court; it net only de-
clares that congress is greater than
the constitution, which created 1.-THE
creature greater than the creator-but
it denies the necessity for a written
constitution. The position taken by
the court is defended, or rather ex-
cused, by reasoning which, If followed
out, will destroy constitutional liberty
of the United States. Every reason
given by Justice Brown could be used,
with even more force, to support de-
cision nullifying all limitations placed
by the constitution on congress when
dealing with the citizens of the sew
eral states. If the Porto Ricans can
trust the wisdom and justice Of a con-
gress, which they do not elect and can
not remove, why do the people Of the
United States need constitution to
protect them from congress which
they do elect and can remove? The
decision, in effect, declares that the
people are not the source Of power,
1t defends taxation without represen-
tation and denies that governments de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed.
This decision, like the Dred Scott
decision, raises political issue which
must be settled by the people. The SUI
preme court has joined with the presi-
dent and congress in an attempt to
change the form Of government, but
there yet remains an appeal to the
people"

MUST RETAIN SEATS
hsSweeney Refuses to Accept
'TiIlman=McLaurin Resignation.
SECOND SENSATION A RESULT
governor Is Anxious to Save Palmetto
State From Bitter Turmoil.
Legality Of His Action
Is Questioned.

Gov. McSweeney, of South Carolina,
acting, he says, in accordance with
the wishes of the people who did not
wish a primary with it's incident strife
and unrest, has refused to accept the
designations of Senators Tillman and
McLaurin. These designations were
made at political meeting in Gaffney,
May 25th, and were mailed to the gov
ernor that night. He received them
the following morning when about to
leave for Chickamauga to participate
in the unveiling of a monument to
South Cardinals dead. The governor
returned to Columbia early Friday
morning and announced his decision
shortly after noon.
He wrote a communication to tie
senators in which he first said that he
returned their designations for fur
ther consideration, as their action
might have been taken in the heat or
debate and without full consideration
of the effects upon the people. In the
closing paragraphs Of his letter, how
ever, the governor unequivocally de
clines to accept" the designations. His
reasons may be put in few words. A
canvass between them would result in
bitterness, stir up the people just at
period when they are getting together
for material progress Of the state, and
would be campaign of personalities
instead OF education. Next year there
will be ample opportunity for a full
discussion. Holding these views, the
governor says his duty is plain.
Governors Position Questioned.
The governors announcement was
disagreeable surprise to the pol1ti-
clans. Whether his action comes with
in his powers is question much moot
ed. Able lawyers say he cannot re-
fuse to accept, his duty in the case
of a senator resigning being to follow
the mandate of the constitution and
make the appointment pending the
meeting of the legislature. The gov
ernor is held by these to be the me-
dunn through which the resignation
ultimately reaches the senate. 1t must
be presented along with the appoint
ment before the new senator is seated.
In the meantime the governors office
is the depository for the designations.
But the governors position is stated
fully in LIS letter.
There has been general violent
protest from all quarters Of the state
against political campaign, and this
action of the governor will be popular.
In an interview Governor McSwee-
ney said:
"The two senators did not seem to
be able to agree on when the primary
should take place and other details.
I found my desk loaded with letters
from the people begging me not to
have primary. acted as the people
wished. Now, if these senators wish
to resign, let them send in the resigna-
ton to take effect Immediately and
their successors will be appointed in

of Mrs. R. H. Lawrence against the

utes before o'clock and at 4:3C

Valuable Paintinq of Lee Burned.

Valuable Painting of Lee Burned.
In recent fire in Columbia one OF
the most valuable paintings in the
south was destroyed. 1t was a lie
size portrait in oil of General Robert
E. Lee, measuring 6kx5 feet, and sur
mounted by massive gilt frame.
This was a painting by Mrs. Genie
Orchard Stovall, which she presented
to the Governors Guards, the favor
ite military company of this state at
three state fairs. This picture has
been awarded the first prize medal
over many noted and professional ar
lists. It has been an object of pride
to Columbians, to them holding dual
interest as life like portrait OF the
south's greatest hero, from the brush
of her beautiful and gifted daughter.
While the loss Of this painting is
dcplored, yet in sacred remembrance
it will be held as a noble gift from
Mrs. Genie Orchard Stovall, proving
her lovin gallegiance- to her native
state.

The Confederate Soldiers Home as

who have worked with untiring energy
to see the home a reality-they sat
down to rest with peace and comfort
to crown the last Of their valorous
days.
Despite the rain and continued
threatening weather hundreds OF vet

and grandchildren of veterans gath
cred at the soldiers home to witness
the exercises which would formally
dedicate it to the noble cause for
which it was designed thirteen years
ago, when it was still only an idea, but
an idea with purpose behind 1t. VS.
itors and veterans gathered upon and
around the north piazza, which served
as a speakers stand, and listened to
words of eloquent eulogium and touch
ing pathos evoked by memories which
can never die.
To the left of the speakers table at
one end of the piazza was stationed
the Fifth Regiment band: which pro-
vided spirited music, and next to the.
band were the old soldiers who had
gathered to their new home, and to the
occasion, though the tide Of youth had
long since ebbed, they brought still
the spirit to applaud the sentiment OF

for Dixie" To the right OF the speak.

SOLDIERS RUN RIOT
In Maddened Fury They Wreck a
Saloon at San Francisco.
AN EXCITING BATTLE ENSUES

Turned Hose on the Crowd.
Comrade Was prugged
and Caused Row.

Soldiers to the nu1aber of 500 or COO
INDUCED in a riot at San Francisco
Saturday night and wrecked one Of the
many drinking places just outside the
Preside reservation.
There are many conflicting stories
as to the origin of the trouble. The
soldiers of the Forty-sixth volunteer
infantry we're mustered out of the SER
vice Friday and the men given their
discharges and pay. Most Of the men
had several hundred dollars coming to
them and they did considerable drink
ing In the Presidio resorts.
"A man by the name of Morgan, CT
the Forty-sixth. was found unconscious
in front of Mrs. Powers saloon. Two
Of Morgan's companions took him to
camp for treatment. The physicians
pronounced it case where drugs had
been administered. The news spread
rapidly about the camp and soon there
were dozen or more men running to
Mrs. Powers saloon. They demanded
reparation for the drugging Of their
comrade, but any knowledge Of the
affair was denied. Two or three men
lounging about the place sided in with
the woman and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back
for reinforcements and spread the re-
port that two Of their companions had
been killed in this saloon.
A mob made up Of members of the
Forty-fifth and Forty-siXth regiments,
then rushed pellmell through the Pre-
sidio gates to the saloon, which was
entirely wrecked.
The place caught fire from the over
turned lamps. One Of the bartenders
was severely beaten and cut There
were threats to lynch him when
squadron of cavalry and provost guard
of sixty men from the Forty-fifth ar
rived and rescued him.
The efforts Of the cavalry and guard
: to disperse the crowd were futile until
the fire department turned the hose
upon them. This and the entire guard
of the, post helped to restore order.
a. careful investigation Of the report
that some of the soldiers had died
from drugged liquor proved that such
was not the case. Morgan, of the For
ty-sixth regiment, was the only man
whom it is thought might have been
the victim of drug.
