Is the republican party really
likely to curb the trusts? Necessa-
rlly the party has good men and
able men and patriotic men according
to their light. These cannot fail TO
see the danger Of these monster and
appalling ulcers of our business life.
But will they be able to secure any
effective action from within the
party? Contributions from these
trusts have enabled the party to win
two national elections. VIII the
party now be able to repudiate its
gambling debt and strangle the devil
to which it sold itself? If It has
virtue enough to do this then history
will record something new under
the sun.

lieutenant: Frank Johnson, Turner'S

The last four men were buried in the
same grave at the old Turner burying
ground.
Lee Turner, the proprietor of the fort
resS and saloon, which were burned,
bought each a handsome casket. The
men were his staunchest allies.
John Doyle, the town man, who was
thought to have been mortally wounded
probably will recover. Tom Hooper, an
old man who was with Turner's band,
was shot three times, but succeeded in
reaching his home alive.
Lee Turner is now at the mines He
intends to rebuild his saloon and fort,
and says he will remain if he has to
keep a standing army of 500 mountain
GERS within his palisades.
All is quiet and it is believed for the
present the trouble is over. Bones were
found in the ruins of the burned saloon,
but it is not believed they are human.
A man named Russell is said to be
missing.

A correspondent of the State Journal

the meeting of Miami county Republi-

and the proposed investigation of the
charges against T. T. Kelly by the Mi

Contrary to the item in the State
Journal of Tuesday, claiming victory
for T. It. Kelly in Miami county, it is
fact that there was practically no con-
test in the committee over the date of
the convention.
Friday night before the commission
ers held their meeting, at a late hour
Mr.. Kelly went to the room of one of
the county commissioners in Paola and
told him that he would not only court
but would demand an investigation of
the charges against him and would pay
the expenses of such investigation. This
was stated publicly at the meeting of
the county board by the member on
Saturday afternoon In spite of this,
kir. Kelly, although he was in the court
house Saturday afternoon when the
board was convened, knew that it was
in session, and knew that the charges
had been formally made before the
beard, remained on the second floor of
