Fort Scott, Kan, April 17.-There
is little question but that the two
men who murdered the two police
men at Joplin the other night were
apprehended here about o'clock
tonight and succeeded in getting
away from the Fort Scott police af-
ter a fierce battle in which about
sixteen shots were fred.
The officers had received instruc
tiOns to watch for and arrest two
negroes on an incoming train as the
Joplin murderers. They were seen
to alight from the train and were
Swallowed up a dark street by several
officers who finally called upon them
to halt. As quick as a flash the sus
poets had guns in their hands and
began shooting as they ran. The
police returned the fire.
The entire night and day forces of
the police department were out TO
assist in the capture of the desperate
men. A running battle was engaged
in and the suspects got away.
Charley Johnson. colored boy.
was shot through the arm by one of
the stray bullets The police and
sheriff's forces have many guards
out and are making vigorous search
hoping to yet capture the men.

EIGHTY BODIES RECOVERED.
Smokeless Powder Exploded in a Ger
man Chemical Works.

Frankfort, April 26-Eighteen
cylinders, each containing about TO-
900 pounds of smOkeless powder, ex-
ploded at the electro-chemical works
near Griesheim late yesterday. The
explosion was heard for many miles,
even as far as Frankfort. The num-
Der of killed and injured is estimated
at POO. Hospitals have been impro-
vised.
By II o'clock this morning eighty
bodies had been recovered from the
debris at the electro-chemical works
near Griesheim, but there are still
many missing. About $50 persons
were injured, many of them danger
ously.
A number of children who were
hurled by the explosioninto the river
Main were drowned before the rescu-
ers could reach them.
The work of fighting the flames
proceeded throughout the night,
though the danger of further explo-
sions was regarded as averted at mid
night. All night survivors were
cropping about the ruins in search of
relatives and comrades.
This morning there was a fresh
outbreak of the flames among the
ruins of Greisheim. At II O'Clock
there was an explosion of a great
benzine reservoir and orders were
issued that every one in the village
of Griesheim and vicinity must va
cate their premises forthwith. The
inhabitants fed with such posses
sions as they could hastily collect,
most OF them going to Frankfort.
Even the firemen, salvagers and sol
diers left the scene.

The rotary is the same as Il dun
geon, and she will get nothing but

Mrs. Nation and Mrs. Wilhert, one
OF her assistants in the saloon-smash-

in the county jail Wednesday, both
having refused to accept bond.

Mrs. Wilhert of being two-faced, and

nose, and a general fight between the
two women ensued. Sheriff Simmons

then went to Mrs. Nation and tried
TO calm her, the saloon smasher be-
ing in a terrible rage and talking so
she could be heard half block.
Mrs. Nation called Mrs Simmons
names. When it was found the sa-
loon-smasher' would not be quiet,
she was taken TO the rotary, where
bad prisoners are kept, and there
she remains.
Sheriff Simmons said he did all he
could to pacify her, but found that
if she was left in the cell with the 9th
er prisoners more fighting would en-

tary until she had cooled down and
then she would be given cell by her
self.

cratic Principles.
Lincoln, Neb, April 25.-Mr. Bry-
an in this weeks COmmoner declares
that he is not planning for another
presidential nomination and that he
will not become a candidate unless
he deems it essential for the advance
ment of democratic principles. In
replying to newspaper guesses az to
what he proposes to do he says:
at is only fair that the readers OF
the Commoner should know what |
am up to, and if they will pardon
me for being a little personal | will
tell them. | have twice received at
the hands of my party the highest
honor it can bestow, and twice has
my nomination been indorsed by
our allies, the populists and silver
republicans. The first nomination
came from the delegates i'll attend
ance upon the three conventions, the
second nomination came directly
from the voters of the three parties.
These honors were bestowed not be-
cause of personal merit, or as per-
sonal compliment, but because OF
my advocacy of democratic princl-
pies. | still believe in those princi-
Piles and expect to advocate them
during the remainder of my life. New
issues will arise from time to time,
but the principles set forth in the
Chicago platform and IN the Kan
sas City platform are fundamental,
and can be applied to all questions.
AS TO THE FUTURE
81 am not planning for another
presidential nomination-if | were |
would not be edititg a paper; if |
ever become a candidate again it will
be because it seems necessary for the
advancement OF the principles to
which | adhere, and that does not
now seem probable. | shall, however,
take an interest in politics for several
years yet, if live, and can be relied
upon to support those who, as can
didates, adv ocate democratic prin-
ciples, and who can be trusted to en-
force them if elected.
Il have no enemies to punish. No
matter what a man may have said
or done against the ticket in 1896 or
in 1900, that man becomes my friend
the moment he accepts democratic
principles. Neither have | any dis
position to reward political friends
at the expense of our cause. No mat
ter what man may have said or
done for the ticket in 1896 or in
1900, that man becomes an oppo-
nent the moment he turns against
democratic principles. Political bat
ties are fought, not in the past or i'll
the future, but in the present. The
heretofore cannot be recalled, and
the hereafter cannot be anticipated,
but the now is all important.
Il shall say whatever | think ought
to be said and shall write whatever
think ought to be written. This
course may not be popular, but |
trust that it will aid in the restora-
ton of Jeffersonian principles.
Il shall ask no reward, because |
am not working for others entirely
As a citizen | am interested in hav-
ing good government under which
to live; as a father | am interested in
leaving a good government to my
children. Ii a good government can
be secured it will be reward enough
for all that or any one else can do. /"
