Bull Batting.

Although bull batting was crue
pastime, 1t was also fulfilling Of the
law, for formerly no butcher was all
lowed to offer for sale the flesh OF any;
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In q similar belief the flesh Of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
in flavor to that Of one that had been
shot, and a present of ga hunted hare'a
was considered to be special complii
ment. In the records of the CORPORA
ton of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: eat common hall.

Sad Accident.

Tuesday noon as one ofthe neigh
bors of Lars Axelsen, living about
six miles west of town was coming
to Extra he stopped to ask the old
man, who lives alone, if he wanted
to send in for anything when to his
horror he found the old man dead
in bed. He Immediately come on to
town and informed the Coroner who
came down and had Doctor N. p.
Lauritzen of Extra go out and hold
a post mortem examination and en-
paneled the following jury: A. P.
Hansen, Nels G. Christensen and
Knud Hansen. Deputy Sheriff Sher-
man Humphrey was on the ground
to see if the deed was that Of an as
sassin. The ground and premises
looked as though he had been hurt
on the outside and then gonein and
partially undressed and gone to
bed. A few feet from the door was a
sharp stone and near that were
clots of blood. His pillow was COW
cred with blood, showing that he
must have been alive when he laid
down. The whole back of his head
was chrushed in and his skull was
scarcely thicker than good thick

have Jared and caused instant
death in most cases might not have

not robbery, if he was killed, for he
had $1,000 on his person when
found, and nothing looked disturb
ed. The autopsy brought out that
he met his death from the common
uted depressed fracture of the skull
and extensive internal hemorrhage.
The finding of the jury has not
been given so we can find out its
decision.
The deceased was sixty mine years
old and was honored by all who
knew him. Was quite well-to do,

strange Alliances at wichita.

At Wichita the other day Sena-
tor James w. Tapp- announced him
self in an interview to be a republi-
can. That afternoon he went into
the populist county convention as a
delegate and modified his statement.
He said he would continue to be
populist in county and state politics,
but that in national politics he would
be for Teddy" Roosevelt in prefer
ence to the man who went fishing
on Decoration day" Questioned by
the convention he said that if the
popuGsts have a majority in the
legislature he will vote for Senator
Harris. If the republicans have a
majority he will vote for Stanley.
Following this q resolution was in
troduced and passed indorsing the po-
sition of Senator Tapp. The republi-
cans construe this to mean that the
populists of Sedgwick county have
declared themselves, by this action,
to be republican in national politics.
In the meantime this same convention
made a fusion and divided the offices
with the county democracy.

JUST for n Blind.

With flourish of trumpets it is an
nounced that Representative Little
field, of Maine, is preparing bill for
the regulation of trusts and combina-
tions in restraint of trade The repub-
lican press takes particular pains to
add that this bill is being prepared at
the particular request of President
Roosevelt, and with amusing eager
ness the public is assured that Repre-
sentative Littlefield is good lawyer.
All this claptrap goes in very nicely
with the statement that the president
and Attorney General Knox are to
make speeches in favor of restrictive
laws. And, meantime, one can only
wonder whether there are any people
remaining who are deceived with this
fake antitrust aggressiveness, and if
there are, how long thAF will remain

The Ex-Presidentiai Candidate Speaks at
Augusta ON Issues which He Says
Voters Should Consider.

Augusta, Me-, July 26.-An i'm
mense crowd warmly greeted Mr..
Bryan and his party when they ar
rived here yesterday afternoon. The
entire party, with the exception of
Mr.. Bryan, was driven to the city
hall, which was filled with citizens
desiring to hear the speaker. The
democratic candidate for governor,
Samuel w. Gould, was the first
speaker. Charles II. Hamlin, of Bos-
ton, followed Mr.. Gould and then
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee,
spoke briefly. Later Mr.. Bryan came
to the city hall and was given q
tremendous ovation. In his address
he referred to the leading issues
which the voters of Maine should
consider between now and election
day. He said that Congressman
Littlefeld, thinking that the repub-
lican party had done wrong, along
with Congressman Mccall, of Massa-
chusetts, had voted against it on
party measures. Mr.. McKinley's
last speech, he said, was confes-
sion that the high tariff must be
lowered.
Mr.. Bryan said he was glad to
come to Maine because the demo-
Gratis of this state were not afraid
to stand up for the Kansas City
platform and let the whole world
know that they are willing to abide
by the principles of that platform.
He then went into a<discussion of
questions which he regards as i'm
portant. He spoke against the gold
standard and charged that that sys-
tenn of finance was created by the
republican party while it was COM
mitted to the doctrine of interna.
tional bimetalism.

To Down the Trusts.

Public sentiment in favor of that
simple and effective form of antitrust
legislation which will remove the du-
ties on all articles controlled by the
more evil trusts gains strength and
volume day by day. There is feeling
that this is the only practical way in
which the trusts can be successfully
fought. The truth is known that the
monopoly trusts could not exist but
for the high protective tariff which
creates their monopolies. The further
truth is known that the American peo-
pie pay the gigantic tax imposed by
reason of the high tariff which thus
fosters and enriches the trusts. This
makes plain the manner in which the
trusts are to be overcome. The tariff
duties on all articles controlled by the
monopolistic corpora lions must be re-
moyed.-St. Louis Republic.
