FRANK KOUNZ
 UNDER ARREST

Frank kounz, railroad man who lives at 2001 East Sixth, is now be- hind the bars of the county jail charg ed with the murder of Marcus Weis, the negro who was stabbed on East Third Monday night. The arrest was
 due to some clever detective work on
 the part of the police department by | Officers Glover, Higginbotham and 1 Night Chief Francis.
 Monday Kounz got into Ocnver- sation with Officer Glover and in general talk on the relations between
 the white and negro races brought up the murder of Weis and stated that nothing ought to be done to
 white man for such a crime. GlOv- CTS suspicious became aroused and | upon investigation he found that kounz was preparing to leave town
 ct for that city. It further developed that he had requested friend to put 1 his wife on the train at the shops while he went to the Union Station and checked his baggage. The off, cers were at the depot and when he saw them it is alleged that a friend who was with him said, Brace up; don't get scared" He then denied to the officers, it is stated that he was preparing to leave town, though he had already bought a ticket Night
 Chief Francis visited his wife's home then and it is stated that she said her
 husband had confessed to her that he had had trouble with a negro, though
 he had not told her that he had killed one. This was told, it is stated, when Kounz's wife thought he had confess
 ed to the crime
 Officer Glover secured the aid of Officer Higginbotham and they placed him under arrest placing him in the city jail, where he was taken to the county jail.
 Kounz denies any knowledge of the murder, and it is stated that through his attorney, D. E. Tucker, he will prove an alibi
 It was learned late last night, ac- cording to the officers, that Kounz had blood marks on his shirt and bloody mark on his pants where he mad evidently wiped his knife after the stabbing. About 1 o'clock this morning run was made to Third and Missouri in an endeavor to cap- ture Charlie Gardner, railroader, who has bIen implicated in the mur- der and who is charged as accessory. Some delay was had in getting into the house, however and if there was not found.

NINE THINGS TO REMEMBER.

The Commoner has brought to the consideration of voters nine facts which it insists that they duly remem- Der and contemplate. These are:
 'First-The failure of the Republi- can party to take steps to provide for electing senators by popular vote, and the refusal of the Republican conven- tion to indorse the reform.
 "Second-The failure of the Repub- lican congress to pass bill provid- ing for publicity of campaign contri- buttons and the refusal of the Repub lican convention to indorse the re- dorm.
 "Third-The failure of the Republi- can congress to pass a postal savings bank bill and the hypocrisy of the party in indorsing the reform, which it had just ignored in congress.
 "Fourth-The passage by the Re- publican congress of a currency bill which enables speculative banks to convert all sorts of securities into cur rency and actually reduces the mar gin of safety for depositors instead of decreasing it.
 "Fifth-The destruction of repre- sentative government in the lower house, where the Republican speak CT and his committee on rules have al, power and not even a majority can get a vote on a popular bill if the speaker refuses consent.
 "SiXth-The forty-nine per cent in crease in the cost of living under the Republican Dingley tariff and its trusts, while wages have increased only nineteen per cent.
 "Seventh-The refusal of the Re- FUDlcan congress to amend thlS tar if. although it's iniquities are admit ted and future revision has been re- lunctantly promised by its friends af- ter the storm is over.
 "Eighth-The notorious fact admit ted by Senator Adrich Republican leader in the senate, that American tariff protected concerns sell their products abroad in competition with European factories at lower prices than they exact from American con- sumers and the refusal of the Repub- lican house of representatives to adopt an amendment to have our gov ornment agents report on these prices.
 |'Ninth-The Republican leaders pretend they favor a tariff sufficient only to compensate factories for the difference between labor cost in America and abroad, but the fact is that the Republican tariff is more
