Some of the Sixth District Demo
cratic newspapers are saying that
John B. Dykes was Populist fifteen
years ago. That makes things even.
Conressman Connolly was Populist
in those good old daysand burned up
many column of his newspaper in
advocating fat money, government
warehouses, etc. But the difference
between Dykes and Connolly is this:
has changed. 1t is to the credit of
John Dykes that he saw the error of
his way before it was too late. For
years ne has been faithful Republi-

wipe out the indiscretions of imma-
ture years.-Osborne Farmer.

Last Saturday the O'Neil murder
trial was brought 10 a close when
the jury returned a verdict of muir
der in the second degree against the
defendant. The O'Neil case has been
sufficiently talked of during its trial
that all our readers are familiar with
the narrowing details, which led to
the killing of our townsman and fell
low citizen, John W. Blakely, on
Sunday evening, July Goth. The case
was hard fought one and intense
trial which lasted over week. The
attorneys ON each side used all their
powers of persuasion and the defense
consumed much time in it's argu-

of Salina, that peerless lawyer of the
west brought the case to a close Fri

after the courts Instructions the jury
retired and about ten O'Clock Satur-
day morning returned their verdict
A motion for new trial was made
and is pending before Judge Ruppen-
