TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 27. Before
an audience which filled the Auditor
ium to overflowing William J. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for president,
tonight spoke on the subject of the

Bryan in his remarks said What
the people need is a system whereby
both state and national banks shall

and only Democratic victory can se-
cure this reform. With Democratic

it will be easy to secure the adoption
of system which will make both
state and national banks secure.

Trustees Of University Fail to
Accent Burkit.Rlder.

From what The Sentinel can gather
the meeting Of the board OF trustees
of the University at that
institution on Ohe Sth was a somewhat
irharmOniOuS cOnvOcatiOn. The boards
of trustees of the A. & ". College and
|. |. & G.. have only recently convened
and the trustees Of both schools very
wisely took action to carry out the
Burkit-rder to the appropriation bill
passed by the Legislature which re-
duceS the salary CT the heads Of those
institutions to $500. 1t was expected
that similar action would be taken by
the trustees of the University, but it
seems the unexpected took place.
There was a motion made by one of
the trustees that a committee should
be appointed to look into the legality
Of the Burkt-rider A substitute was
offered that the board proceed t" fix
the salary Of the Chancellor al $500.
Upon this proposition the vote stood
six and six, Gov. Noel, as The Senti-
mel understands, voting witz those
who wanted to act in conformity with
the rider. The matter will come up
again at the June meeting of the
board.

HORNSBY KILLS SN|DER
Killing Occurred in Beat Three.
H0rnsby Released.

On Wednesday morning X. w. Horns
by shot and killed w. y. Snider The
killing occurred about miles north
west of GraySpOrt on Hornsby's farm,
where Snider was tenant HOrnSby
went Immediately to Torrance, the
nearest point to a telephone, and got
in communication with Sheriff Will
liamS. He asked that a deputy be
sent at once. Hornsby had a commit
ting trial before j. +. PrOvine, a jus.
tice of the peace for beat 3, and was
released without bond. From the best
information The Sentinel can gather
the facts about the killing were these:
HornSby had some whiskey at his
house and Snider asked to be lent
some of it the day before which
Hornsby did. Snider proceeded to
tank up and give the other tenants
on the farm a general scare. On
Wednesday morning HornSby, in
company with some other men, had
occasion to pass Snider IN the field.
HornSby demonstrated with Snider
about his conduct the day before
when Snider gathered an AK and
started on HOrnSby. HornSby had
d shot gun on his shoulder and hrder-
ed Snder to stop and when he failed
to do SO, he fired killing Snider, in
Stantly.
HOrnsby has borne a reputation as
quiet and peaceful man.
