friend, if. such looking man
could ever have friend. 1t seems
that an uncle had died and left him
some timber land, and he was in
trouble for fear he taxes would break
him up in business [ examined his
deed, and as knew all about the land
rgot him a customer before night, and
he exchanged his deed for Four Thous-
and Dollars in greenbacks. When he
left town he wouldn't have'known him.

who bought the land would not take

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD FUSION.
POpu1ist and Democratic Committees
to Meet at Topeka March 25.
Calls Are Issued BY ChairInen z r. RidgeIy
and }. Mack LOve-1Iay Test COnstftu-
tiOnaIity OF the Anti-FusiOn
Election Law.

The pOpUlist and democratic state cen
trail committees are figuring on fusion
again Each has issued a call for a joint
meeting Of the two committees to be held
in Topeka on March ., to figure out
some practical way to fuse.
It Is possible that a plan may be de-
vised to test the constitutionality Of the
anti fusion election law in the supreme
court BY both parties nominating the
same candidate in some congressional
district, the same as has been done here
tofOre, and bringing a mandamus action
IN the supreme court to compel the sec
rotary of state to put the nominee on
both tickets.
Here is the call for the populist com
mittee meeting:
1T having been mutually agreed be-
tween the officers of your committee and
OF the democratic committee that much
good might be derived from a joint meet
ing Of the two committees and that mat
tiers might be arranged whereby the
whole opposition to the republican party
in the state might be united upon one
ticket and platform, meeting in hereby
called for Topeka, Kan, on Tuesday,
March ., 1902, at the ThroOp hotel, 10
a. N, to participate in such conference,
TO set the date and place for the state
nominating convention and to transact
such other business as may properly
come before the nesting"
E R RDGELY, Chairman.
]. H. CURRAN, Secretary.
Here is the democratic call:
"After hearing from and talking with
quite a number Of our committee, and
also with a number Of the officers and
members Of the state populist committee,
it has been mutually considered advis-
able to call a special meeting Of our
committee TO meet jointly with the peO-
pies party committee for the purpose
Of advising together with view of agree
ing upon line Of action that will unite
the opposition to the republican party
under the head OF democratic ticket.
We believe that the prospect for good
results iustiies the effort.
"a special meeting Of the committee is
therefore called TO meet at the ThrOOp
hotel, in Topeka, on Tuesday March .
at IL a. N, for the purpose Of participat-
ing in a conference with the peoples
party committee and of attending to any
other business that may come before the
committee"
