He SWORE AT COURT.
That Was Long Ago but Frank
White Got Reminder Today.

Frank White was this morning SEN
fenced by Judge Hazen to serve Ii
years in the Kansas penitentiary at
hard labor for burglary
George and VIII White were SEN
fenced to the Reformatory at Hutch
inson. The three White brothers were
arrested on the clarke of burglarizing
RanelOch's clothing store on Kansas
avenue. The clothing they carried away

the Judge and said he supposed he
would have received a longer sentence
if the court had been able to give it.
This time he received Is years and did
not suppose that the court could give
any more.

DIDN'T COUNT THIS ONE.
Stafford County Found to Be Fol
Bailey.

A straw which shows the value of
some of the estimates made on the CUB
ernatorial. situation comes in a letter
from Edward O'Connor, of Stafford
county, to Morton Albaugh. secretary Of
the state committee.
Mr.. O'COnnor is superintendent of the
Stafford county schools and is a man
of considerable influence, not only in
Stafford county. but in adjoining coun-
ties as we'll He is on the Stafford coun-
and knows how the delegation stands.
In his letter he says:
7 received a letter a few days ago
from Mr. Troutman in which he assum-
ed, I know not on what basis. that the
BILE to his candidacy. If Mr. Troutman' s
letter was of the ordinary stereotyped
character I would not have taken any
notice of it, but it assumed to count
on my influence, not only with our own
delegation, but also in other directions
1 thought in candor I ought to unde-
ceive him. I therefore wrote him, stat
ing courteously but emphatieally that
he was misinformed, and that our dele
cation was a unit for Bailey.
You are Al liberty to state that the
solid vote of Stafford county will be cast
for Bailey. I speak with full assurance
from every member of the delegation. -
In view of the fact that the anti
Bailey forces have been counting Staf-
ford county as solid against Bailey. and
that they have refused to eoneede fana a
single vote in the county, the statement
of Mr.. O'Connor that it is solid for
Bailey Is quite significant.

trip from Chicago without serious in
convenience and did very little walking.
They did not beg, they say, but ac-

in beating their way on railroad trains
from Ogden TO this city. From Aurora,

pleased to know that the condition of
the banks affairs was never better;
that the volume of business has in

In Memory of Mrs. T. e. Parnell.

Mrs. T. c. Parnell, wife of z. b. Par
nell, was born June 10, 1869, and died
Jan. /, 1902 at her home three miles
east of Mt. Moriah church, in this
county. She joined the Baptist church
in early life, on a profession of faith:
and her baptism truly symbolized the
burial of the old life and the birth of
one, new and beautiful, adorned as it
was ever afterward with the virtues of
a Christian. Mrs. Parnell left a hus-
band and four little children to mourn
their great loss, two of them being but
two weeks old at the time of their
mothers death. The home she made
bright with the sun shine of her pres
ence is now filled with a gloom that
throws its shadow beyond it's sacred
precincts, for the good woman was be-
loved by her neighbors, who share in
the sorrow her going away has caused,
and by all friends who enjoyed her &C
quaintance. Her death seems untimely
to us of mortal vision; but, when the
lessons of life are all ended, we shall
know and understand the mys teries
that enshroud them here.
ITO His own the Savior giveth
Daily strength;
To each troubled soul that liveth,
Peace at length.
Know His love is full completeness,
Fills the measure of thy weakness;
If He wound thy spirit sore,
Trust Him more"

Granted Bail.

Geo. Wood, the young man charged
with the murder of VIM Netherland
in the eastern part of the county, in
January, had a preliminary hearing
before Justice Hoffman Monday and
Tuesday. The State was represented
by Thos. Brady and the defense by A.
G. McNair, and large number of wit
nesses were examined. The two Lam
berts, who are credited with having
provoked the difficulty which resulted
in the death of an inoffensive man,
failed to appear.
After giving the case a patient hear
ing, Justice Hoffman decided to grant
the defendant bail in the sum of 81, 600.
Up to this afternoon the bond had not
been given, and upon the showing of
his attorney that such bond was ex-
cessive, under the circumstances of
the case, Justice Hoffman reduced it
to 81 LOCO; which THE LEADER learns
will be furnished tomorrow.
Geo. Wood, the defendant, looks and
talks very much like person of un-
balanced mind, and it is learned that
this will be one of the chief lines of
defence urged in his behalf.
