 New York. Nov. 1f.-Pinned in a blanket and lying by the roadside, suf- fering with a possible fracture of the skull, Jacob Clemons, sixty-fiye years old, farmer of East Chester, was found to-day near Williams Bridge. A short distance away were his horse and wagon, the horsed hitched to d tree and the wagon partly wrecked. Near where Clemons was found were marks in the road which indicate that a col- lision and an automobile may have oc- cured there. The police assert that Clemens was thrown from his wagon by a collision with a large automobile, and that after the persons in the au- tonobile had found the man to be se- riously injured they pinned the blan- ket about him and left him by the side of the road. Detectives are endeayor- ing to locate the occupants of the au- tonlobile. Clemons will probably die. Clemons regained consciousness for a few moments tonight, and in a state- ment to the coroner said that his wa gon was run into by a yellow auto- mobile, in which were four men and q woman. He was thrown out. The oc- cupants Of the automobile started on without paying heed to him, but stop- ped when about fifty yards away and all five returned to where he lay. The woman held his head in her lap and wiped his face with her handkerchief. but he could not tell how long they stayed with him.
 Clemons said as they were preparing to go he asked them not to leave him. They said they could not stop but would send physician. Clemons said he then became unconscious
 Coroner O'Gorman said late tonight that Clemons would probably die be- fore morning. He added that If the man had received medical attention within an hour after he was injured, his chances of recovery would have been good
 Coroner O'Gorman said late tonight that he had a good idea of who owned the automobile which is alleged to have run Clemons down, as we'll as of who were in it and that he had received the information from person who would be a reliable witness.

1t was in 1855 that the Democrats met
last at Wichita to elect delegates 10
ma tional convention The convention then.
as now was to be held at st. Louis. III
was pretty fight between Geo. W. Click
and John Martin, in which both were
chosen and both declined to head the
delegation The declination. however,
preceded the election. but the common
herd didn't know it TIL it was all over.
Ii would bye interesting to know how
many OF the delegates to the 1888 Wichita
convention have seats in todays meet
ing.
While the Democratic convention today
will not nominate a governor. there Will
be considerable gubernatorial brew bot

remark that Judge Dale is a corker.

Kansas jump from the Hearst TO the

When fifty Populists can spend an af-

it is time to close the coffin lid.
One Wichita Populist says that the only
way the Democrats and Populists can
knock out the Republicans is to fuse and
fight under the POpulist emblem. The plan
is splendid one; Il little work by Santi

had invested in a lot of new hymn books
on which he hoped to clear neat margin.

this statement: Those that amt got any

1t was Kansas Democrat who was in
office in 1896. He was warned by friend
that he would better be quiet and not too
partisan. because the administration was
likely to be changed. Then he displayed
his real political genius by the remark:
Il would like 10 see the administration
that can change quicker than | can" He
