The Leavenworth Ball Players Make a Trenton of It Sure Enough. It wasn't the Fourth of July when G. Washington Esquire crossed Delaware at Trenton and won famous victory. It was Fourth of July when the Leavenworth ball team crossed the Missouri and won a victory at Trenton. The dates and the rivers make the difference.

Our boys played a big game yesterday at Trenton, Mo to- a big crowd. The enemy were beaten horse, foot, and dragoons. Tneir men struck at the air and their feet and their glory slipped away from them under the tre JOHN H. ATWOOD IN IT. TO BS SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF DEMOCRACY.

Th Carroll Faction or the Demo cracy Endorse Their Man-At-wood'a Followera Withdraw From th Convention, and Condemn tha Prooaadlnga. The Democratic county convention met yesterday morning In the District court room at the court house. The attendance was quite large, many however were there merely as spectators to see the fun caused by the row in the Democratic ramp which would evidently culminate Curing the proceedings. Chairman Jack Garrett called the convention to order at 11:20 a. m.

and immediately asked the convention if the delegations were toll. The unterrined and unwashed Democracy put a literal interpretation upon the question and the reply was elicited that the delegations were full, and some of the delegates were full also. This was considered to be a matetr of small import however to the Democratic statesmen and Secretary Murphy proceeded to state to the con- vention its object which was to select thirteen delegates and thirteen alter natos to the state convention at To peka, the congression convention at Holton and the judicial convention at Valley Falls, M. L. Hacker was reported as the temporary chairman or the conven tion, and Lawrence McDonald of Delaware township ai secretary Mayor Hacker took the chair, gave Cleveland and Stevenson a blast or two which was unapplauded and ask ed the convention what they were thero for.

Delegate Swoboda moved that John llannon, John Smolzer, James Howard, C. V. Curtain and Chauncey Flora be made the committee on ere dentials which was adopted. Delegate Curtain moved thatShind ler, Frank O'Donnell, John Swan, James O'Connor and John Canary be made committee on organization which was also adopted John llannon moved that list of city delegates as published by the Leavenworth Daily Times, be adopted by the convention. Carried.

A bTORM BREAKS. When the committee on credentials reported the first storm broke upon the convention. It seems that the call had named Linwood as the place to hold the primaries in Sherman township. The Democracy met there and elected a solid Atwood delegation to the convention, but it seems that Neely and the ring got up a contesting Carroll delegation headed by BUI Shannon from Lenape in the other end of Sherman township, which was seated thus bull-dozing and bouncing Atwood' supporter. A delegate from Linwood made a strong talk for his rights and condemned Neely and the ring in strong terms.

Bill Shannon ot Lenape, also finally sided with his neighbor and got up in the conven tlon and accused the city members of the county Democratic committee as being. THOROUGHLY ROTTEN And dishonest in their actions. At this Neely leaned over to Shannon and cried, "For xl's sake, stop this." Shindler then had the impudence to tell Ben Thornburg, of Easton, where and how to hold their primaries. Thornburg defended his delegation which was for Atwood, and afterward made the statement that he would get even with the bosses and in all probability Thornburz's friends in Easton will support him and knife the Democrat lo ticket. The committee on organization then reported Neely as permanent chairman.

Neely had a cut and dried Fourth of July speech which he pro-caeded to inflict upon the convention. The ousting of Hacker and putting in of Neely as permanent chairman was a direct slap in the face to the Atwood delegates, and when Noely began hli talk about fifty of the Atwood country delegates left the convention, held a mooting of their own outside, passed resolutions condemning the unfair action of the ring convention, dmned Doo Neely up hill and down, gave three cheers for Atwood, adjourned determined to knife to the death the nominees of the ring Democrats in the fall elections. When the Atwood n.eiithdrew from the convention Shindler sought to cast a slur on Ed Murphy and called out "Ed Murphy will now hold a convention of his own." Murphy had remained in the hall and at once arose and furiouily replied to Shindler, "You are a God damned liar, I'll break your damned neck for this, etc." A number of Murphy's friends were in pympathy with him and if Shindler had rot shown the whito feather and shut up, this asiemblage of respectable Democracy would have become a free for all fight. Neely and the bosses again pleaded for order and business was resumed ned. John llannon prosent A.tA ji ed a cut v.

Ed. Carroll for congress, L. A. Meyers for Judge of the First judicial district and the selection of that ticket for state officers congressman-at-large and electors that will most surely accomplish the defeat of the Republican party in state and nation." When the delegates were thus in structed for Carroll a committee was appointed to bring that gentleman before the convention. He soon appeared and said, "I thank you most heartily for this nomination and the compli" ment it confers.

Leavenworth is the bulwark of the Democratic party of Kansas, and is the place for the scattered bands of Democracy to gather. For the last ten years I have battled in the legislature against the brutal Republican majority and now that am made your nominee, although I have not been a candidate I will not decline but will continue the fight for Democratic principles." The convention then adjourned, thus ending a most inharmonious ses sion. The treatment accorded the country delegates by Neely and his ring was unwarranted, the country delegates being not even given a place on any ot the delegations. The breach thus formed is very formidable and the country delegates left the conven-hall vowin? vengeance in no uncer tain tones. It is generally conceded that Car roll did not want the nomination but that it was forced on him by Neely, who wants him defeated this fall so that the supremacy of Neoly in the Democratic camp in the future will be complete.

Mr. Carroll is a good man, but it is unfortunate that he has ac cepted the endorsement for congress at this time. THE COLORED MASONS. National Crand Master W. Mat- thews In Pittsburg'.

Colored Masonic circles wore In a flutter yesterday, the excitement be ing dua to the presence in Pittsburg of the head of the order. CaDtain William E. Matthews, Most Worship ful National Grand Master, Free and Accepted York Masons. Captain Matthews, whos9 home is at Leavenworth, Kansas, is on his tour of annual visitation to the var ious grand lodges. He came down yesterday from Johnstown, where he attended the sessions of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

The order is in a very 'prosperous condition, there being over rs. Captain Matthews is a representative of the negro race, deserving of special notice He was born on the Eastern shore of Maryland, October 25, 1827, and is therefore now 65 years of age. Captain Matthews joined the Masonic fraternity when only 22 years of age, and has always taken a great interest in the order. He passed through the various degrees, and six years ago was elected National Grand Master to serve for three years.

Last night Captain Matthews was tendered a reception by the various lodges of the Seventh district, at Sheba Lodge Room No. 06, No. 19 Federal street, Alleghany, where he delivered a very interesting address on the "Origin of Masonry." Pittsburg, To. Timsa. Well Celebrated.

Knormoos Number of Seeds Yielded by Certain Trees In this the curious reader may find food for reflection that not in obnoxious weeds and bothersome insects alone does nature show her power to multiply to a wonderful degree.

English experimenters have probably done more in the line of testing the fecundity of vegetables and useful plants than the Americans have, the reasons for this being obvious: They must figure to economize space, whereas the American farmer can scatter a little grain over hi3 broad acres. Recent tests made under the auspices of the Royal Philosophical society with a single barley stalk unfolded wonders which but few have ever thought even possible. By steeping and watering that one plant with saltpeter dissolved in rain water they managed to produce two hundred and forty-nine stalks and over eighteen thousand grains! It has also been shown that the white elm of our bottom lands and groves yields, one year with another, at a very moderate estimate, too, 350.000 seed. Now, an elm ordinar ily lives at least a full hundred years, and, consequently, in the course of that comparatively short life, produces nearly 2,000,000 grains, all coming from one original seed. fA Single seed of an Asiatic pemper-ion planted on Trevcsy grounds, Berlin, propagated a vino a3 large as a man's body, which in nine weeks grew to a total length of nearly 800 feet and ripened more than 800, 000 seeds.

Weary of Life They End Their Existence on the Nation's Birthday-One Cuts His Throat and the Other Swallows Morphine-Despondency and Insanity the Cause-One Death From Appoplexy. One bright Fourth of July 50 years after the Declaration was signed, two ex-Presidents of the.

United States died. Yesterday morning while everyone else was celebrating or wanting to celebrate, two veterans of the civil war, weary of the lives that had escaped shot and shell of war time, aged, gray and despondent, died by their own acts. Peter Benedict, late private Company Fifth Missouri Cavalry came the Home two weeks ago after a protracted Bpree. Sixty years of age, gray and crippled, he become moody, morose and dispirited and at 8 o'clock the morning of the Fourth day of July, 1892, while the stars and stripes floated over him high in the blue, he cut his throat. Death was instantaneous.

Henry Corwin, during the civil war was a brave soldier in Company K. Eifty-sixth Massachusetts Infantry. He too was old and spent with years. For some time his mind has been unbalanced and constant attendance was necessary for him. The doctor gave him some morphia powders to quiet his mind.

When the day was done and it had been a day of unmarred pleasure to all the old soldiers at the Home, he qui etly swallowed all the remaining powders and calmly awaited death, He died at 7:30 p. just twelve hours later in his eternal bivouac than his comrade. At 1 o'clock yesterday morning Andrew S. Rush, another old soldier, died at the Home hospital of appo plexy. All three ef the men will be buried toaay tne national cemetery.

PICNIC PARTIES. Everybody and his Relation go to the Woods and Picnic. At the Parks, the Home and the Penitentiary. A great ijjany people to-day are pained to remark that yesterday was the Fourth of July. Some are thinking what fools they made of themselves and everyone is sorry he didn't stay in the shade and drink red lemonade and let his wifo's relations do the celebrating.

Only the chiggers can look back and reflect with the fulness that come3 of labors well bestowed and well rewarded that they did not live in vain yesterday. They live in the woods where all the people went and they had all varieties of ham, caif and sole on tap. Men who never before gave their wives and children a cent before, yesterday actually hauled off and spent as much as fifteen cents on them. There was a large crowd in town at the peep of day and a bigger one at night. During the dayevery one who worked was so mad that he didn't go out of doors and everyone who didn't work hied himself and little ones away where glory waited.

The Red Men's parade attracted as much attention as would the Wild West Show. Many thousand spectators watched the long line of braves and warriors decked out in all the glory of cheese cloth and yellow The picnic afterward at Re-iger's grove was a great success. The sacred Heart church picnic at South Side Park was about the pleas-antest thing of all the day's exercises and the crowd who went to it had an ideal time in the woods. At the Penitentiary a complete programme was carried through by the they whose chief difference from their fellows is that their sins have found thorn out, paso" one happy day in spite of barred cells and striped suits. The biggest crowd went to the Home, where through the exertions of Governor Smith a most interesting programme bad been prepared.

The finest feature of the day there was the bicycle races. Below we give a list of the prize winners. Following a parade by the Leaven-county wheelmen and cyclers, the following programme was carried out: First race. Run and ride: Joe Barnes, first priz3; Walter Dodsworth, second prize Second race.

At 8 o'clock, the hour set for the opening of the convention, only about three score of delegates were scattered among the seats within the railed enclosure and many spectators were in the audi ence seats. Temporary Chairman Ellington, however, pursued directions to the letter and sharply on the minute called the convention to order and introduced the Rev. William Macready of Buffalo Gap, S. who offered prayer. A glee club rendered some music and then the convention- waited while the belated delegates were assembling, the glee club mean while singing more selections, while the booming of cannon outside" the big coliseum told the delegates every few minutes that it was the national holiday.

At 8:45 o'clock enough delegates had arrived to warrant a call of the roll to ascertain whether or not a quorum was prosent. There was found to be a majority of the states present, but there was too much confusion to transact business, and amid a storm of ayes a motion was carried at 9 o'clock that each state appoint a ser-geant-at-arms to keep quiet in its own state. There were loud calls for the chair man of the credentials committee, but he was not present, and it was some time before he could be found, the newly-appointed Bergeant-at-arms meanwhile succeeded in preserving order by clearing the aisle3 and pnli ing enthusiastic delegates into their seats. When the chairman of the credentials committee finally arrived, he reported that the committee had found no contests. The report wa3 received ana it was deemed that the persons whose names were on the roll should be declared entitled to seats.

The committee on permanent cr ganization announced its readines to report and after a new hubbub had been silenced submitted the following, For permanent chairman H. L. Loucks, South Dakota. For permanent secretary J. WT Hayes, New Jersey.

For assistant secretaries S. King of Kansas, George Wilson of Michigan, G. Wr. Denmark of South Carolina, D. W.

Assembled upon the one hundred and sixteenth anniversary of the de claration of independentce the People's party of America, in their first na tional convention, invoking upon their action the blessing of almighty God, put forth, in the name and on behalf of the people of this country, the following declaration of princip les: We demand a national currency, safe, sound and flexible, issued by the general government, only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and priv ate, and that without the use of bank ing corporations, a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution, direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' Alliance or some better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for public improve ments. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the pres ent lesal ratio 16 to 1. We demand that the amount of circulating medi um be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita.

We demand a graduated income tax. We believe that moneys of the conn try should be kept as far as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and state revenues shall be limited to the neces sary expenses of the government, economically admistered. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the govern ment for the safe deposit of the earn ings of the people and to facilitate ex change. Transportation being a means ofex-change and a public necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads in the interests of the people. The telegraph and telephone, like the post-office system, being a necessity for the transmisrioa of liews should be owned and operated by the government in the interest of the peo pie.

Blue and the Cray. Omaha, July 4. It was 8:30 when the third session of the day was called to order. At 8:40 a branch, of Georgia appeared with the supplementary report of the committee on platform. To the plank regarding a free count, a southern delegate in the rear of the hall moved that it be tabled but it was retained by a large majority and the reading was resumed.

Hearty applause was given the resolutions regarding standing armies, tha referendum, and the limits of the term of the presidency. When the reading was finished Chairman Loucka put the motion on the adoption of the report although a number of delegates demanded to be heard. Quiet was secured by Hugh Cavanagh, of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, who reported this resolution on behalf of the committee: Resolved, That this convention sympathizes with the Knights of Labor in their righteous contest with the tyrannical combine of clothing manufacturers of Rochester and declares it to be the duty of all who hate trannv and oppression to refuse to purchase the" goods made by the said manufacturers or to patronize any merchants who sell sucb goods. The resolution was adopted. Branch was ready with another resolution which was adopted provide ing that no federal state or municipal official or employe should be eligible to eit or vote in any convention of the party.

It was 9:40 when tho regular order of business, that of calling the roll i states for nomination ot candidates for the presidency wa3 read, Alabama was called, F. C. Manning, of that state, in a speech that was very imperfectly understood owing to his distance from the platform, named Gen. J. B.

Weaver, of Iowa. Colorado yielded her privilege to Col. S. F. Norton, of Illinois.

Col. Norton concluded with a long eulogy of independence hall by naming Senator J. II. Cyle, of South Dakota. The name was received with slight applause and three cheers were called for and faintly responded to.

In a twenty minute speech repeatedly interrupted by cries of time in behalf of a portion of the Illinois delegation Senator C. II. Vanwyck, of Nebraska was nominated. Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, supported Weaver.

She said that not only the mothers but tho very children of the country would flock to battle for him. On the first ballot at midnight Weaver was nominated. The vote stood Weaver, 995; Kyle, 275; scattering, 2. Beverly of Virginia named an ex-confederate to stand by Weaver's side, General James G. Fields of Virginia.

C. F. Davis of Iowa seconded Terrell. The latter took the platform at 1:30 and stamped as an infamous falsehood the story that he has been identified with a cordage trustor been embroiled with the United States government. The chair rapped the speaker down and the roll was resumed.

W. Beck, colored, of Kansas, who said that the white men had talked enough for a thousand conventions, seconded Ben Terrell. At 2.12 a. m. Terrell again takes the stand and says and he has never done a dishonest-or dishonorable act 6ince he was a boy.

It also tells plainly how to begin courting, the way to get over bash-fulness, the way to write a love letter, the way to easily win a girl's consent the way to pop the -question, the way to accept or decline an offer, the way to make yourself agreeable during an engagement and the way you should act and the things you should do at a wedding.

BENEVOLENCE. Tho Experience of a Mother in Raising- a Philanthropist. Albert's mother has to count hor pennies carefully, for she is a conscientious little housewife, and her husband's salary is far from magnificent. Her ideal virtue is benevolence, however, and she tries to instill it into her boy. both by precept and example.

One day an uncle gave Albert his first quarter of a dollar to spend on any thing ho He went out to squander it and in the evening his mother, who had boen wondering for hours iMhe habit sho had been trying to cultivate in her little boy had begun to bear fruit yet said to him: "Albert ou need not toll me unless you like what you did with all that money, but I should like to know, my boy. if you do not mftd Did any part of it go to lessen tho sorrows or lighten the burden of some poor per son less fortunate than yourselfi' I am almost sure it did." Albert hung his head a minute, and his mother's heart sank, but presently ho said in a low voice, as if ashamed to tell of his own good conduct: Mother. 1 gave it all to a lame wo man, who sits all day long oa the sidewalk near our school." "Albert; my darling. I knew it I knew it!" exclaimed the delighted mfjlher. "You will grow up to be a great philanthropist, and all the world will know that humble little I cultivated the habit of benevolence in your heart when it was tender and youn? won't you, my boy?" les.

ma." said the dutiTul Albert Pennies and nickels came much more plentifully in Albert's path -after this than they had ever come before, and most of them found their way to tho ragged woman who sat on the curbstone near the school house. Al bert seemed to take a deep interest in the welfare of this woman and his mother determined after awhile to teach Albert another leason in benevolence, that it is the duty of a philanthropist to find out whether tho object of his charity bo a worthy one. Albert opposed this idea. JIe was. sure she was poor and lamo and she looked sick.

That was enough. The thought-that she might, be a drunkard or an impostor seemed to shock him. so that his mother decided to investigate the woman's case by herself. But she had many calls upon her time, and several months elapsed before sho found an opportunity to do so. She gave Albert five cents and he declared his intention of giving threo of them to the old woman.

Then she followed him to school at a distance, and as she approached the building she saw a little knot of children surrounding some object which she soon found to be a rasged woman sitting on the curb with a tray of candies ard chewing-gum in her lap.
