D. Graduate of Dental Department Wash- ington university a II REV. VERNON J. ROSE SPEAKS IN -COFFEYVILLE. Attacks the Dingley Bill and War Reve nue Measure His Views of Expansion.

The first Populist rally of the season was held in the opera house Monday evening and Rev. Vernon J. Rose, a min ister of the Christian church of Chanute, was the orator of the evening. Attorney J. P.

RosCter introduced Mr. Rose, and Justice A. L. Hook and Hon J. H.

Wil cox occupied seats on the platform. Mr. Rose began by telling how Bryan had regenerated and reformed Democracy, the party on which Cleveland sat until its life was almost extinct. "The position taken by Bryan Democracy two years ago has been demonstrated in a negative way to have been correct. When the enemy says silver is dead the wish is father to the thought.

The Chicago platform in 1890 was a new declaration of independence. The past two years have shown that international bimetallism is a dream. Our ships and soldiers'St Santiago and Manila have demonstrated that we can go it alone why not do it? Will we carry forward what Santiago has made possible? "Kansas Republicans are fighting this year without pledges, without a platform. They are not specific; their platform is a string of glittermg generalities. It is no slander or misrepresentation to say that the Republican party is the gold standard party.

"Although the record of the Republi can party from 1861 65 will shine for all time, it is of no use to dwell in the past The Republicans today are roosting on the remains of the past. The speaker then sarcastically referred to Republican prosperity and quoted figures, which, if correct, would prove that in March, April and May, 1897, while importers were rushing everything in to save paying the higher taxes under the Dingley bill, the Wilson bill pro duced more revenue than did the Ding ley bill in the same months of 1898, while a war was in progress. He denounced protection as a relic of barbarism. He said Cleveland's bonl issuing policy was no worse than McKinley 's, and that the Dingley bill was an absolute failure as a revenue raiser. The strikes in Pana, Cleveland, Ohio; Philadelphia and Massachusetts were cited to prove that the Republicans had not brought prosperity.

The speaker then took up the war. He said it was brought about by the common people, with every plutocrat from Hanna to Hade-i against it. He spoke of the national thievery and high way robbery of the war; he believed in national expansion only by the consent of the governed; Jet the colonies say whether or not they want to come in by voting on the proposition; admit them like Texas was admittel. He cited the fact that Rome was ruined by colonizing too much. He wanted to know if a 100-days war was to cause us to go crazy and abandon the traditions of our fath ers? Taking up the war revenue measure he said it could not be equaled for class favoritism.

It was framed to borrow from the rich and steal from the poor. The Democrats and Populists did not stultify themselves by voting for bond-ocracy. The tax on beer and banks was also cited to prove the inequality of the tax. The speaker, in this connection, said John W. Breidenthal was the big gest and brainiest man in Kansas Popu lism.

He then threatened to sing a song, entitled "No bonds; no bonds," but did not. He denounced the war investigation committee as a farce; said that it was intended to whitewash and would. He said McKinby was respon sible for Algorism and sarcastically called him "the honest, but forgetful president." He said Sampson hastened to the rear in the battle at Santiago, but was given most of the money. 1 State issues were but barely referred to and he urged the people to send back to congress, such examples of statesmanship as Botkin, Simpson and Ridgely. There was a fair-sized audience present and the Populists were well pleased with the address and considered the rally a very successful one.

ANOTHER SUICIDE AT EDNA. Howard Eakin Hangs Himself with a Rope and Strap. The Edna Sun tells how Howard Eakin, a single man about forty five years of age, committed suicide Monday morning by hinging himself. He was making his home with his brother-in-law, A. Vanbibber, who resides three and a half miles northeast of Edna, and early Monday morning was assisting in hauling oats and started after a second load when he complained of be ing sick and returned to the house.

His sister, Mrs. Vanbibber, placed him in bed and then left him, but in a few minutes, hearing a noise, hastened back and found him hanging apparently life less to a joist in the room. He had mounted a molasses barrel that was standing near the center of the room and placing a strap, to which was attached a short piece of rope, around his neck, fastened the rope to a joist and jumped off. It is reported that he had been in poor health for some time, which, perhaps, is the direct cause that lead him to take his own life. patrick and fight him like the rest "of the Populist crowd is doing.

Yes, he's a stalwart Populist. The Journal believes that it is the only paper in Montgomery county which gives a fai, unprejudiced report of the meetings of all political parties. Else where in this issue appears a report of the Populist rally at Coffeyville. The Journal believes in printing the news, from which the people can form, their own political opinions WHAT OUR CONGRESSMAN SAID Early in the Spanish-American troubles, when the patriotic people of the country were rallying to the assistance of President McKinley, this is what Congressman Ridgely, who is now asking for our votes to reelect him, wrote home to a paper in Pittsburg, in which city he lives: "It is publicly known that holders of Spanish bonds are dictating and controlling our entire Spanish policy. "The plan is now to have the United States withhold the recognition of Cuba' until the speculators in human blood fix up their deal with the Cubans and force them to assume the payment of the Spanish bonds.

"To our shame as a nation, we are being used as a tool to help the ring speculators while hundreds of thousands of lives are beinsr crushed in Cuba that Shylock may get his pound of flesh. "Our president is but clay, being ope rated by Hanna and his crowd." Viewing later events and developments how can those who endorse the conduct of the war and believe that the President acted with almost supernatural wisdom in bringing it to such a successful termi nation how can those who believe in standing by the country's highest of ficer when the nation is in its greatest need, vote for a man who has no more respect for himself, his position and his constituency, to say nothing of Presi dent McKinley, than to utter such slanderous, disloyal and unpatriotic sentences as the above? Voting for a man who said or wrote the above lan guage is equivalent to endorsing it Remember this on November 8. There was nothing the least remark able or extraordinary in Vernon J. Rose's address at the opera house Mon day night. The speech was peculiar In one breath he would extol the glo ries of Populism and in the next talk about the ideals of humanity tvo things as separate as black and white.

It was half a sermon and half a calamity talk, either half of which, taken alone, would not stand when measured by the standards of political speeches or religious discourses. Mr. Rose went entirely too far in his criticism of the war. That part of his speech made his audience skeptical as to the amount of genuine patriotism he possesses His two great points were his attack on the Dingley bill and the war revenue measure. He concluded his talk on the Dingley bill with a ridiculous piece of humor about the merits of certain soap.

His strongest argument against the war stamp tax, was the fact that the tax of one-eighth cent per bottle on hair restorer prevented his using it therefore the war stamp tax was a failure. These were his climaxes. We do not believe that the better element in the Populist party will approve more than two-thirds of the speech because Mr. Rose said a great many things which no one with well-defined ideas' of national conservatism can approve. He appealed too often to radicalism, which is a dangerous element in national progress unless checked and offset by a later conservatism.

Belittling the size of crowds at Populist rallies by Republican papers will not necessarily defeat the Populist ticket. The best way to defeat the Populist ticket is for Republican editors to attend the rallies and give the Populist speeches exactly as they are made. When the people read these Populist speeches, reported truthfully, then defeat of the Populist ticket will be assured. "THE RESULTS OF TDK WAR. The syndicate got the bonds the con tractors got their boodle and the com iron herd got the privilege of paying the taxes.

Troubled With Kidney Difficulty and No Appetite Improved In Every -Way Since Taking Hood's. I was taken suddenly with dizziness and faintness at stomach and also with kidney troubles. My whole body seemed to be out of order.

I sent at once for a physician and followed his directions with bat little change. He said I had a complication of diseases and my case was hard to manage. I would get better for a day or two and then would be worse again. My appetite also failed and I bad a severe headache. After the doctor said he could do nothing more for me I determined to give Hood's Sarsaparilla a trial.

In a short time after I began taking it I could do a fair day's work. It is now three years since I was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla and I am still in good health. I have a good appetite and am full of life. Mks. Eva Beach, Box 461, Lincoln, Kansas.

Rev. Harlow's Work In Coffeyville Has Been Very Successful. The revival services which have been in progress for more than four weeks came to a close Sunday night. Rev. Harlow has been doing faithful work during these services and his efforts have not been in vain nor without ap preciation.

Large audiences of attentive listeners have greeted the speaker throughout the entire series. Especially was this true on Sundays. Last Sunday was no exception, as the attendance was up to the standard, and in response to the call of the gospel fourteen persons came forward, ten coming at the conclusion of the sermon Sunday night. Eighty- three persons have thus responded, causing rejoicing on earth and in heaven The church in many ways has been strengthened and looks forward with hope to the future. The usual services will be held on each Sunday morning and evening and mid week prayer meeting on Thursday evening.

A cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend all these services. RALLY AT TYRO. Large and Enthusiastic Republican Meet Ing There Saturday Night. There was a large and enthusiastic Republican rally at Tyro Saturday night. The meeting was held in the church and the building was filled to its seating capacity.

The first address was made by Hon. J. H. Dana of Caney, who was followed by Hon. J.

M. Palmer of Hillsdale, Mich. Mr. Palmer is in the west on business and pleasure combined and is the gu wt of his brother, J. L.

Palmer of Drum Creek township, who was the Republican condidate for county treas urer last fall. Hon. T. S. Salathiel of Independence, Republican candidate for county attorney, was also present and made a good speech.

All the addresses were interesting and calculated to make votes which they undoubtedly did. Colonel Burns acted as chairman of the meeting. From all indications there will be large gains for the Republican ticket in and around Tyro this year. Would Benefit the Entire Section. Nowata Herald: The Coffeyville Journal contains an able article advocating establishing a cotton mill in that city.

Undoubtedly such ac enterprise would be very beneficial, not to Coffey ville only, but to this entire section. We have long thought the cleared land along the Verdigris should be used for cotton raising. What are known' as the Over Cup bottoms, near this city, would certainly produce cotton, satisfactory in quality and quantity. A mill in this section would stimulate the cotton industry.

M. HERITAGE. One of the best little daily papers in the state for its town and county is the Coffeyville Journal. It is all the time after something. One day it is a railroad, another a cotton factory, another a paper mill, another a brick plant every day something.

Such loyalty to town and county ought to merit a rich reward. St. Joseph Daily News. The Republican county and legislative tickets are going to win because they ought to. This is a Republican year and an awful good time to begin voting the Republican ticket if you have not done it before.

Ed Howe is mashed on F. D. Coburn lota worse than the Kansas City Star ever was on Cleveland. Coburn ought to be saved from his friends. The Arena, a socialistic and communistic magazine which advocated free silver and every other imaginable reform, has suspended.

This shows that people do not want that kind of literature. The Parsons Eclipse, in its efforts to find something against Kirkpatrick, quotes what a Coffeyville Populist said about Kirkpatrick speech here a few days ago and labels it as coming from a "stalwart Republican." The man spoken of was "stalwart" enough to try to land the Coffeyville poatoffice, but () lTk LIKE TWO LITTLE BOYS. Independence and Cherryvale Brick'Men Need Guardians. At last' the managers of the brick plants at Cherryvale and Independence have gotten into police court for fighting and if they are not careful, they will be sent to the State reform school for boys. About September 20, or a day or two after the brick contracts for the Cherry-vale smelter were let, F.

G. Lotterer of the Cherryvale plant and II. B. Harmon of the Independence plant met in Cher ryvale and a fight ensued in which it teems that Harmon got the worst of it. Last Friday Harmon was in Cherryvale again, and both he and Lotterer were arrested for the fight on September 20 They were arraigned in police court and Lotterer plead guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace, for which he paid a fine of $5 and costs.

Harmon plead not guilty and gave notice of appeal to the district court- Thus it seems that the grievances of these two men will be aired when the November term of court nvenes. Big Thing for CofTeyvllle. Edna Sun: The new paper mill at Coffejville is running and furnishes a market for the surplus straw the farm era have to dispose of. Thirty-five tons of straw will be used daily and 150 men will find steady employment. This is a big thing for the Gate City of the west.
