AT kOSGUSkO.


K~osciasko. Miss, March H.. Rarely
has ko~ciasko had as many people as
were present here today, drawn thither
by circuit court and the announcement
ths, Hon. John SHARP Williams, candi.
date for the Unsted States Senate. would
speak.
Judge Dunn ~sdioarned court before
twelve o'clock In order 30 allow the dis
tinguished statesman to have the court
room and the opportunity to address
the people 10 the interest Of his can
didacy.
The spacious court room, by far the
largest in the State, was packed to ov-
erhowing, and hundreds stood in the
doors and hall ways, while many occu-
pied seats in the windows. 1t was such
an audience N Lamar. George or Wal
thall would have drawn out, and one as
semhled for the self-same easo to
hear an Intellectual treat from one OF
the greatest me OF the county, the
leader Of his party in the National
House Of Representatives. 1t was an
eager, interested audience, one that
eomprehended and appreciated the
scholarly and mastery address.
Mr.. Williams was introduced to the
audience by Mr.. W.4R. Lacy, member of
the board OF supervisors from district
No. l, and n Of the most substantial
citizens Of the country In a neat, and
suitable manner, who briefly referred to
Mr.. Williams record as a member Of
Congress and as the leader Of his party
in the House, wiah an eloquent reference
to his candidacy for the Senate.
He spoke two hours, going over much
the ame ground covered In his former
addresses, and in bis late reply to Gov.
vardaman's interview. He ridiculed
the idea Of any man attempting to re-
peal the 18th Amendment and said it
was simply another platform for the
Governor to attempt to ride into Office
on, another use Of the niger to help
him along.
He said he had invited Gov. yarda-
man to meet him in joint debate, and
had offered him a fair division of time,
but that a few days before he left Wash
he received a letter from him de-
to meet him on the stump, or to
join with him in debate. That he hoped
he might change his mind, and that IL he
did he stood ready to meet and to reply
to the Governor at any time between
and the day Of August nary that
his challenge would stand till the son
test closed, and that he would only be
too proud II the Governor would take it
up; that he thought he should be will
ing to stand up and argue his case be-
fore the people, and let the voters de-
eide which of the two should be sent to
the Senate.
Mr.. Williams closed, after being re-
peatedly a%pplauded, and it was very
evident from the demonstrations, and
the eagerness to shake his hand at the
close Of his address, that he had the
crowd by a vast majority. His speech
madea fine impression, one that carried
conviction to the hearts Of his hearers,
and which cannot be eradicated by any.
thing that his opponent may say.
This has been a Williams day, and
unless all appearances are d~eceiving,
and they are not, old Attala may be put
down in the Williams column.

FOUND PEARL BRYAN's SKULL.
Unearthed Near Where Her HeadIess
Body Yves Found.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Cincinnati, Ohio.
says:
G. G.. Landorf, a contractor, who
has the contract to fill in the ground
between Newport and Dayton, KY,
across the river from Cincinnati, yes
terday discovered a skull that is be-
lieved to be that of Miss Pearl Bryan,
the Greencastle, Ind. girl who was
murdered and her body decapitated
on February 1, 1895, by Jackson and
Walling, Cincinnati medical students
who were afterwards hanged. Her
headIess body was Identified by her
mother. but the head was never found
The evidence which points to the fact
that the skull was that Of Pearl
Bryan is this: The skull was found
in the soil which forms part of the
roadway that a carriage en- route to
the proved scene of Pearl Bryan's
murder. near Fort Thomas, KY, would
take from the residence of a doctor in
Newport, where the testimony at the
trial showed, Miss Bryan underwent
treatment just before she was killed
The skull alone was found. Nc
other parts of the skeleton to which
the skull belongs has been or can be
found by the workmen. The measure
ments of the skull tally with the
measurements of those of Miss
Bryan's skull.

HOLIDAY MAKES 4 REPLY.
He Doesn't Propose to "Cau the Rail-
roads Bluff"

Topeka, Kan, Feb. IS, 1907.
Editor Journal:
Dear Sir: 1t is said that Nero fiddled
while Rome burned.
1t is also related that during the
bombardment of Paris by the Prus-
slams, a young French lady who was
watching the terrible spectacle from
the central square of the city, the
Place de la Concorde, was so sorry her
mother was not present so that she
might witness the scene.
Leavenworth gives us the shining
example of a city that called a rail-
road bluff. 1t scornfully refused to
vote the bonds, the Union Pacific rail-
road went to the then struggling viii
lage at the mouth of the Kaw, and
Leavenworth was undone.
The case of the Missouri Pacific
railway in Topeka plainly illustrates
what unwise opposition to the great
common carrier will result in. Instead
of a hundred thousand dollar depot
and a through north and south line
that we might have had some twenty
years ago. we have been obliged to
content ourselves with the little spur
running UP here from FIT. Scott. All
this too because of our own folly.
AS president of the Commercial club
of Topeka and a. member of the city
council. l am doing everything in my
power to keep every Santa Fe passen-
ger train running through Topeka. I
do not intend to yield even one train
until I am knocked down and run
over. The business men of this city
and the citizens generally are with me
to man. The Santa Fe may be bluff
fling when it states it is going to run
its passenger trains over the Holiday
Emporia cutoff. Be that as it may, I
do not propose to call the bluff This
country is full of has been" cities that
got CAV and bluffed the railroads
One thing is certain. Topeka can
not have her cake and eat 1t too. We
can not have new general offices and
continued big shop expansion, and in
crease pay for employees and new
equipment and double tracks and new
roads and a continuation of prosperity
every where in the state if we are go
ing to act unwisely. Railroad legisla-
ton may be purchased at SUCH a price
as to paralyze both road and commun-
ity for an indefinite period.
The editor of the Capital does not
appear to like the resolutions adopted
by a unanimous vote at the CONNER
cial club meeting on Friday evening
last This is greatly to be deplored.
It may be just possible that the editor
of the Capital has mistaken a long
suffering tolerance as an endorsement
of his treatment of the Santa Fe. If
the editor of the Capital has any
doubts on this point, [ am perfectly
willing to call another meeting of the
Commercial club and will leave ii to
the editor of the Capital to drum up
the members and get them all out. 1t
would make no difference in the vote.
1t would be unanimous for the resolu-
tions just the same AS stated by Mr..
j. w. Robinson at the meeting the
other night the people of Topeka are
getting mighty tired of this everlast-
ing knocking"

still reside here, died a week ago at
Delto, Mo-, where he was working a S a
bridgeman for the Frisco railway. His
body was sent to Kansas City where
the burial took place last Sunday.
The Newton Kansas-Republican
says: Topeka's Commercial club is
holding meetings nightly nowadays
trying to devise ways of saving the fast
mail and the transcontinental passen-
ger trains on the Santa Fe from pass
ing over the Emporia cutoff. Topeka
will make a desperate fight on the pro-
position
This is the story of the reward of
honesty that befell a car cleaner of
the Santa Fe at Newton: A passenger
got off No. 500 at the depot this morn
ing and went to the waiting room.
There he discovered that he had lost
his pocketbook. He was excited in a
moment and started for the train A
car cleaner met him and asked Have
you lost a pocket book?'' The stran-
ger replied that he had and the car
cleaner thereup produced the purse.
which he had found in a car. The
stranger grabbed the purse and told
the car cleaner that half the cash it
contained was his (the cleaner's) and,
opening the pocketbook divided thirty
odd dollars with the coach cleaner.
The strangers anxiety to regain the
pccketbook was largely due to the fact
that it contained drafts to the amount
of $500.
