publisher Of the REELHCToR said g
MIR, SMITH"
Mr.. Smith al the indignation meet
ing told Of his conversation with the
REFLECTOR and that It's expressed
attitude was satisfactory to him. II
has never sought to evade Its pledge
to Mr.. Smith and has ever been ready
to further his candidacy. The r.
TLECroR has always been his warm
friend and supporter and no personal
printed declaration was needed TO
prove its friendship for him. The
fact that Mr.. Waring secured the
postmastership through Congressman
Calderhead has not deferred this
paper from expressing its confidence
10 the ability and honesty Of Mr..
Smith.
1--WE believe we have proved that
Mr.. Smith endeavored to deceive and
trick this paper into supporting him. !
You and your small coterie are the
only ones who so believe. Your trait
orous conduct towards. s. Smith will
not affect your conscience which y
dead. You will ever be held up to
the scorn Of men who hold that hon
esty in politics and honesty in ones
private life cannot be divorced.
The three men who are accused by
the Chronicle with telling them fairy
tales are amply able to take care q
themselves. They promise in proper
time to tell what an unmitigated liar
the Chronicle is in the matter at
issue.
Postmaster Waring has felt the ire
Of the Chronicles hatred before and ~
used to it. 1t don't hurt him and
they enjoy it. Let them have good
time.
Senator Brewer is not hurt any by
the abuse heaped upon him in last
nights Chronicle. 1t was to be ex-
pected. Since they could not make a
tool of him at Topeka he has felt their
displeasurs and no opportunity is al
lowed to pass without abuse and vii
LITIGATION being heaped upon him. He
is fortunate in having such an enemy.

SMITH IS NO GUTTER.
Leaves for Cloud County to Make
Speeches.
prom 1fondAy's Daily.l


Hon. s. s. Smith left on the morn
ing train for Concordia where he ad'
dresses a meeting there tonight. HI
will spend the week in Cloud county
unless called home sooner to further
enlighten the pablo as to the cause Of
the Chronicles flop. He thought that
when that paper pledged him undi-
vided support, promised to stay with
him until the last, and its editors
having signed his nomination papers,
he could depend at least that it would
not oppose him. The Chronicles
msrcenary nature got the better Of
its love Of honesty and fairness and ii
proceeded to do the traitors act.
Before leaving, Mr.. Smith made the
following statement;
"The Chronicle and its little clique
of supporters expected that Its defec-
tion from me would either force me
to abandon my candidacy or would
iniure me to such a0 extent in other
counties as to prevent my nomina-
ton. l am no gutter. | shall be in
the race until the votes are counted

sorting me at the eleventh hour after

Gospel me TO be absent from home

all my friends increase their efforts in
my behalf and especially those hav-
ing friends in other counties Of the
district that they write them fully Of

MURDER TRIAL AT MARION.
william Carr to Answer to the
Charge Of Killing 0. A. Bailey.

I Fl
and will preside at 3 murder trial
which begins there today. II is the
hearing Of William Carr charged
with the murder Of Oscar A. Bailey,
an. express messenger on .. Santa Fe
car between Kansas City and Newton
during the latter part Of last April.
This is about what the state ex-
poets to show; That during one Of
the nights in the latter part Of April
Oscar A. Bailey, q trusted emPloye Of
the Wells Fargo Express company,
was in charge Of the express car on
the Santa Fe road out Of Kansas City
to Newton and in charge Of a consid-
cradle sum Of money. That William
Carr, who was former employe Of
the Wells Fargo company and well
known TO Bailey, being out OF work
.'struck" Bailey for a ride TO his home
at Newton from Kansas City, and that
Bailey being good natured acceded to
his request, although it was against
the company's rules. That some-
where between Kansas City and New
ton Carr pounded Bailey to death on
the head with a Ratchet, taking the
greater part Of the money the safe
contained and leaving the train at
Newton. That shortly afterwards
Carr was captured, given a prelimih-
airy hearing and bound over for trial
in the district court at Ma rion.
Some Of the developments IN con-
nection with the case are interesting
and will be shown in the court.
When the train reached Newton the
Wells Fargo men went to the door AMI
tried to open it but found it barred.
Surprising Bailey was asleep, they
pounded on the door, but received no
response, went to the other side Of
the car. Here the car door was par
italy open. Clambering in they be-
held the awful sight Of the mutilated
body Of Bailey lying in pool Of blood.
the safe door open and several hum
bred dollars missing. At first glance
there was absolutely no clue as to
who did the deed. But wires were
soon working.
Kansas City was instructed to find
out who was loafng around the depot
the night Of Bailey's run, Of old en-
ployes, who might want to ride west.
Soon the answer came back:
William Carr, an ex-employe Of
the company, whose father lives at
Newton"
Inquiry in Newton showed the man
to be there and he was at once ar
rested. He denied his guilt. On his
person was found some money, in
GLIDING four one dollar bills. The
company expects to prove where those
bills we're put on Bailey's express car.
Carr's father, who runs business
in Newton, will testify that bis son
asked to place package under the
stairs and that that package was
afterwards exhumed and found to
contain 81, 800.

cured Attorney Carpenter to assist
the county attorney Of Marion.

of President Roosevelt and it is a well known fact that he is anxious for Congress to provide this session for the construction of four instead of two big battleships. "
 Representative Taylor (Aiabama). says he will cheerfuliy vote with Captain Hobson. Indeed, the member from the Mobile District Is very enthu- siastic for the proposition. He said today:
 T think it would be better if Con- gress were to appropriate for six. yes for eight battIeships. rather than for two as recommended by the naval af- fairs committee"
 MT. Taylor believes that the navy should be constantly increased in strength. He does not think that me- cessarily the number of ships should be increased merely to claim that this nation has the largest navy in the world. but to show the world that we are prepared to upho our country at any and all times.
 Much speculation is going on as to the final result. It is freely stated that If Captain Hobson succeeds in getting his amendment through fl will be terrible knockout for the House leaders.
 Senator Hale. chairman of the naval affairs committee of the Senate, is yio- lently opposed to appropriating for more than two battleshfps.

Penny Is Arrested-in Mobile;
 Is Charged With EnabezzLenent

and the amounts really received from the departments amounting to S1.161.- Is; that they found discrepancies be- tween the clerks reports to the Mayor and the amounts deposited In bank amounting to $1,l76.s3; they pointed out many irregular methods of book keeping which made 1t impossible to accurately account for all the city's moneys and close with a recomfnenda- tion that the books of all city depart ments be audited from March I5, 1903, to date.
 The report stated that Assistant Clerk Conway Penny admitted respon- sibility for ssl41s of the shortage.
 This report was received and referred to the Finance Committee.
 The Mayors message was received and he was authorized to have all the city's books audited but was instruct ed to have the work extended back to March, 1900.
 Ev unanimous consent. the report of the special committee appointed to in- vestigate the disappearance of the cash and check books of the City Clerk. was next taken up. The report declares the inability of the committee to obtain evidence sufficient to charge any one with the theft of the hooks. notwithstanding the Mayor employed two detectives from another city to assist the local force in the search
 It further states that Deputy ClASk Conway Penny admitted to the commit tee that he. and he alone, was responsi- ble for the shortage; that Penny stated that Clerk Dame entrusted the book keeping and the handling of the cash entirely to him. Penny admitted. said the report, that he had taken sums from time to time. and sometimes had returned amounts to the elty's funds; that he had lost track of the amounts and did not know how much he had taken.
 The report recommended that City Attorney Boone be instructed to pros. ecute Penny and that the committee be continued until the auditors report on the books from lsoS to date.
 The report was adopted and recom- mendations concurred in and the Coun- cil adjourned.
 Late tonight when Penny was brought before the special committee of the general council. he confessed that he Is guilty of the speculations charged. He turned over slightly more than $500 in cash to the city clerk as partial reimbursement.
 The bond was fixed tonight at 10 o'clock at $500, which Penny failed to make.
