on Tuesday

Winfield, Jan. 60. w. Coffelt, the
man charged with the murder of George
c. Montgomery, the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe detective, was brought
back to Kansas from Oklahoma Sun
day. Coffelt was arrested last week in

VENEZUELA's TROUBLES.
Navy Out of Coal and Out of Repair;
Rebels Go as They Please.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Jan. =,
via Haytien Cable.-The armed revolu-
tionary steamer Libertador, formerly
the steamer Ban Righ, has it is believed
here, landed the expedition near BARGE
Iona, Venezuela.
Advices received here from Caracas
show that the Venezuelan government
is without news of the movements of
the Libertador.
The vessels composing the Venezue-
Ian fleet are without coal and besides
fore President Castro's ships could not
put to- sea and search for the Liberia
dor. About 1900 partisans of General
Riera, Venezuelan revolutionary lead
er are awaiting his arrival near COro,
Venezuela. When Riera arrives, it is
intended to set the country in a. blaze
of revolt. Six other bands of insur-
gents, raised by Gen. Fernandez Men
doz and others. are under arms but
they are avoiding coming into conflict
with the government troops until they
receive achievements and arms and
ammunition. The fact that the gov
ernment's efforts to capture these
bands have been without success, is
proof of the vitality of the revolution
airy movement.
The Venezuelan government accord
ing to the advices from Caracas, is
without money, and is vainly trying to
buy war supplies in New York.
1t is further asserted that the en-
ployes of the government of Venezuela
have been without pay for the last six
months and they are only awaiting IA
Vorable opportunity to take part in the
revolt against President Castro.

seed will be the first of it's kind in Scot
land in a quantity sufficient to make
any reliable experiment. This seed will
plant about ten acres and it is expect
ed that a much larger order will fol-
low soon.
Last summer, early in July a brother
of Mr.. Laurie left this city for Scot
land to make visit with his brother.
Ross Bros. gave him little package
of the seed and asked him to have it
planted there and see what kind of a
success it would be. He took the seed
with him and planted it. with the re-
suit that it was decided to plant ten
acres in alfalfa 50 as to make a fair ex-
