BECAUSE OF ALLEGED MISTREATMENT AT THE HANDS OF ITS OFFICIAL ORGANTHE PAPER COMPELLED TO FALL IN LINE AND SUPPORT A FALSEHOOD COMMITTEE WILL PUBLISH A STAT-MENT. The democratic county central committee met Saturday and completed the nomination of a straight democrat ticket for county offices. J.

E. Burwell, of Stranger, a rock-ribbed democrat of the old school, was for county surveyor. Dr. Sol Phillips, a democrat of the younger type, was nominated for coroner. James C.

Stone, a well known member of the local democracy, was placed on the ticket as the nominee for state senator. This completes a full ticket of the county and legislative offices to be selected this fall, and, as will be observed, only democrats have been placed in nomination, thus repudiating finally and irrevocably any fusion with the populists of Leavenworth county The members of the committee realized that a fearful mistake had been made In permitting the newspapers to publish the resolutions adopted at the democratic convention, and decided as a desperate effort to back up the statements made a day or two after the convention in several democratic newspapers to the effect that the resolutions condemning Governor Leedy and his administration were not adopted, with a written denial signed by the members of the county central committee. The resolutions which it is proposed to deny are as follows: "Resolved, That looking back to the proceedings of the legislature of last winter with shame and disgust, we demand that that body shall not be called together again to further inflict the state by its venality and imbecility. "Resolved, That every principle of home rule dear to every citizen demands the repeal of the metropolitan police system; the financial interests of the taxpayers as well as the good government of our cities by the people thereof, demand this reform. "Resolved, That on these principles place our candidates in the field today and ask the suffrages of the fair-minded and intelligent electors of the county." There is no doubt about the adoption ftf the three resolutions by the democratic convention, though the democratic county central committee now wishes to deny them because they condemn and denounce and express shame and disgust at the Leedy legislature, and administration.

The resolutions were offered as an amendment by the Hon; T. P. Fenlon of Leavenworth, together with another resolution condemning the free silver policy or rather ignoring it. A motion was made by a member to strike out the resolution ignoring the Chicago platform and adopt the balance of the resolutions offered by Mr. Fenlon.

And the convention was so anxious to endorse the Chicago convention that it forgot all about the condemnation of the populist legislature and of the Leedy administration and the resolutions crni-PSBitifr that condemnation were passed by a unanimous vote. Mr. Perry, the reporter for the demo cratic evening organ, Mr. Goodrich, the reporter for the republican paper, and the reporter for another democratic and another republican paper and the secretary of the convention all made the same report, that the "shame and dis gust" resolution was adopted. Efforts have been made by The Leavenworth Times to secure a perusal of the original minutes as made by the secretary of the convention during the meeting.

All such efforts ito secure a sight of these minutes by anybody from The Times office have been unavailing, as the secretary flatly refuses to exhibit the original minutes of the convention. The resolutions introduced by Mr. Fenlon declaring "shame and disgust" at the corrupt legislature were reported by the democratic press-organ in this city and by it duly published. This is positive proof that their reporter like every reporter in that convention heard the obnoxious resolutions passed. There is no possibility of error having been committed.

The facts are as stated by prominent democrats, by the old leaders of democracy in Leavenworth, that the tion was run by a lot of boys, some of whom were not in a fit condition to participate in the meeting; that these callow politicians had formed a ring at the dictation of the gentleman who represents Leedy in Leavenworth and of the police board, who with one or two local politicians' agreed upon a slate, and agreed to endorse Leedy and the populist administration, but in their zeal to support Bryan as well as Leedy they forgot the Leedy end and endorsed Bryan. Thre is no a.uestion but that the democratic central committee of Leavenworth county and the democratic convention, when they came to their senses and saw what they had done, found that they had got into a muddle and now are, trying, to get out of the scrape. It is also noticeible that the Kansas City Times has failed to give a copy of the resolutions and failed to give a report of the proceedings regarding the resolutions so objectionable to the ring. The Kansas City sheet evidently wanted to get out of it in the easiest way possible. They got over it by saying nothing, because they were outspoken friends of Leedy and did not wish to publish the fact that the democratic Official facsimile of Medal Awarded DR.

The case of Cynthia Bascue against Douglas Bascue was dismissed on motion of the attorney for the defendant for want of prosecution buit later the plaintiff appeared in court and a mo tion was filed asking the court to set aside the order dismissing the case. The motion will be heard Saturday.

Judge Myers somewhat testily rebuked the court officials for cumbering the docket with cases in which decrees had been rendered, and it is fair to presume that there will be a reform in thi3 respect before another term of court. Fully one-third of the cases called had been passed upon by the court but the costs cot having been paid the cases were carried on fthe docket. In one instance a case was carried on the docket where the defendant has been dead several years. This is the suit filed by Lola A. Noble against Charles R.

Reports reached the city last night to the effect that the five prisoners escaping from the Platte City Jail last Monday night were entrenched on Stai-ger's Island, and are prepared to give the officers a warm reception, if the minions of the law venture to disturb them.

They are armed, and it is said will resist to the last any effort tending toward their capture. Sheriff Dillingham was in communication with the Leavenworth county officers last night and it is proposed to organize a posse and surround the island when it will be a comparatively easy matter to capture the men. It is currently reported that other desperate characters have joined forces with above named prisoners from Platte City, making quite a colony now encamped on the island. The following account of the escape of the men from the Platte City jail is taken from the Argus: Monday night, between midnight and two hours later, James Geer, awaiting trial on a charge of rape; New Helton, ancused of robbery at Dearborn; Walter Hamilton, wiio was jailed last week for hiring a buggy and team from Mason and Bane and driving it lr Kansas City to sell it: Frank Garrison, charged with the Staiger island murder, and Bob Brushwood, whose jail sentence for assaulting his stepfather would have expired todav, broke jail. A case knife was used to force locks, putting the prisoners where they, or parties assisting them outside, could remove a stone from the wall and escape.

The sheriff's colored cook heard a joise. and gave the slarm about two o'clock. Ascertaining who was gone, the sherifT went to work at once. He telephoned to all sections, and then put the bloodhounds on the trail. The dogs ran to below Beverly, when they were literally tired, out, being quite fat Cleveland Dillingham and Robert Swartliout followed the hounds.

Will Synnamon and Henry Dillingham went in a vehicle to iJark-vllle, from there one went to Kansas City and one to Waldron. David Chestnut and George Eckert rode to Smith ville. Oscar Berry and Sheriff Dillingham went to the upper bridge and Leavenworth. Joe Moore and Garrett Chestnut went to East Leavenworth. Stillings and Leavenworth.

During Tuesday David Chestnut and Joe Moore watched this side of the river and Sheriff Dillingham and R. W. Pack the Kansas side. The latter came in with enough burrs on nim to have patrolled the Muddy banks clear to, St. Louis.

This guard was kept up till 2 o'clock Tuesday night. The prisoners took breakfast Tuesday on Staiger island and went to the home of a colored Kansan, since which time, to t.e hour the Argus goes to press Wednesday, nothing has been learned of them. The sheriff is now in Kansas City and lias telegraphed repeatedly in all directions. He expects to catch the prisoners if diligence will do it. A reward of $50 has been offered -for Garrison, 5 and $10 for others.

AT LEAVENWORTH SPORT HOLDS UP A WOMAN UNDER THE BRIGHT GLARE OF AN ELECTRIC LAMP AT ATCHISON SPIRITED INCIDENT OF THE CORN CARNIVAL IDENTIFIED BY MEANS OF A PLUGGED DOLLAR HAD SOME VBlVjT EFFICIENT ASSISTANTS.

A lively tragedy occurred at Weston Friday, in which an infuriated hus band avenged an alleged invasion of his home by shooting and probably fatally wounding the intruder. At 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon R. Murdock, a cattle buyer, shot E. E. Seller, a wealthy farmer, five times, three of the bullets taking effect, one passing through Seller's back and lungs, inflicting a fatal wound.

Seiler was removed to the Hotel St. George and his family summoned. The physicians pronounced the wound a dangerous, if not fatal, one. Murdock has not been arrested, but is practically in custody, as he is accompanied by a deputy sheriff pending the outcome of the shooting. The tragedy occurred in front of the Baptist church on Main street and came without warning to the stricken man, Murdock approaching from the rear and shooting Seiler in the back The trouble grew out of rumors reach ing Murdock to the effect that Seller has been unduly intimate with Mur- dock's wife.

Over-officious city officers attempted to suppress the news of the shooting, and prevented further details than are above given from being furnished the press. IMFOUTAST SUIT FILED. A FORTUNE INVOLVED IN A LITIGATION BROUGHT. Proceedings were begun in the United States circuit court at Topeka Thursday, against Matthew Ryan, the purpose being to force an accounting of the estate of Matthew Ryan, Sr. Katherine Ryan, a daughter of the deceased, married Dennis Sheedy, a wealthy mine owner, and moved to Denver, where she died two years ago.

Sheedy made a deed disclaiming any interest in his wife's property and yesterday brought the suit demanding an accounting, as the guardian of his two daughters, Josephine and Florence Sheedy, who are minors. He asks that each of his daughters be given one-twelfth of the property. At the time of his death Matthew Ryan was considered the richest man in Leavenworth, if not in the state. He left an estate of which the personal property is now valued at milion dollars and real estate worth as much or more. He left a widow, Mary' Ryan, and six children.

Matthew his son, was made administrator. The will provided that Mary Ryan, the widow, should have all the life insurance and an annuity of $3,600 a year as long as she should live. The estate was to be divided into six equal parts and each of the children was to have one share. In case one of the" children died, his or her children should divide the parent's share equally, but any one of the heirs who might attempt to break the will was to be cut off with $100 and no more. Matt Ryan, the son and administrator, has gone on the theory that as long as his mother lived the estate is not to be divided and is managing the property on that theory.

Mr. Ryan said to a Times representative last night that he had administered the estate according to the terms of his father's will, and in accordance with the laws governing such matters. As soon as the papers are served on Mr. Ryan he will instruct his attorneys to prepare an answer defending his course of action and will fight the suit to a finish. JIA WANT DIVOKCES.

APPLICATIONS FOR LEGAL SEPARATION CUMBER THE DOCKET. Saturday was divorce day in the district court and numerous applicants for relief from galling matrimonial chains were present when court was called to order. In the matter of divorce the men have to give the road to the women. Of the fifty-one cases called yesterday thirty-nine were brought by the members of the alleged milder sex. Most of them set up desertion and non-support as the grounds for divorce.

Judge Myers granted five divorces in fifteen minutes. There was no opposition in any of the live cases and five women left the court house happy in the oostession of a decree permitting them to go and make the same mistake over again if so inclined. The first was a buxom colored girl who testified that her name was Ida Glass and that she married Fred Glass in 1892, and that he deserted her some time ago. The court decreed that Mrs. Glass be restored to her maiden name of Ida Lamb.

In her next matrimonial venture she will probably endeavor to secure a less fragile name. Ella Howard testified that she mar-, ried Grant Howard in 1892 and that three years ago he deliberately left her and has failed to contribute to her support. She will hereafter be known as Ella Thomas. Mrs. Annie N.

Fahn, a white woman, appeared in court with -two friends and an equal number of children. She was given a divorce on the grounds of non-support and abandonment and was given the custody of the two children. She was married in 1895.

Gov. Leedy has called special elections to fill the vacancies that now exist in the Kansas legislature. The elections will be held at the same time as the fall elections to choose county officers. Leavenworth has one of the vacancies, caused by the elevation of W. A.

Harris to the position of United States senator. The calling of special elections is generally taken to mean that Governor Leedy will call a special session of the legislature. The republicans should see to it that a good man is nominated and elected in this district. The new state law requires that nominations of candidates for offices in districts or divisions greater than a county shall be certified to the secretary of state not later than forty days before the elections for which the nominations are made. Under this rule, yesterday was the last day for receiving certificates of nomination for such districts.

The candidates of one senatorial and thirteen judicial districts have been certified to the secretary of state. The can didates of Leavenworth county have not yet been nominated, but as this district is not "greater than a county," the limitation of forty days does not apply. Following is the list of nominations: Senators Second district, Atchison and Jackson counties, George W. Glick, fusionist, and R. T.

Andrews, repub lican. Judicial districts: Ninth McPherson, Reno and Harvey counties, M. P. Simpson, republican; F. P.

Sailor Reuben, well known in Leavenworth, was arrested in Atchison Fri-dav. charsred with complicity in the hold-up of a woman named Nellie Hen-dershot. Fred Woodward of Kansas City, who is. said to have served a "term in Jefferson City, and Louie Tofte were also arrested, and at present the trio are in jail, charged with highway robbery. According to the statement of Mrs.

Hendershot, she met Tofte, Reuben and. Woodward at Fifth and Commercials strets shortly after midnight. Tofte was very exuberant in spirits, and playfully handed Mrs. Hendershot a bag of popcorn. She was accompanied by J.

M. Hendershot and carried a grip containing the daily receipts, which aggregated $200, and some diamonds and other jew-eis, worth about $225. Mr. and Mrs. Hendershot were going to their home across White Clay creek, south of the Symns wholesale house.

Almost immediately after passing the alley on Eighth stret, between Main and Commercial. Mrs. Hendershot's grip was seized from the rear. Th'e handle was torn off, and the highwaymen made off with the grip. Mrs.

Hendershot pursued the th'ief, getting between him and Hendershot, and prevented him from firing. The thief ran east through the alley and disappeared in the darkness. The police were immediately notified, aid shortly after Tofte, Reuben and Woodward were arrested, and lodged in the city prison. Mrs. Hendershot says the man who took her grip was Louie Tofte, but that she did not see the other two men at the time of the robbery.

When searched at the police station, Tofte, Woodward and Reuben had amounts aggregating almost $200, about evenly divided in three parts. Tofte told a reporter that, although he was under the influence of liquor, he remembered seeing Mrs. Hendershot, and giving her a package of popcorn at Fifth and Commercial streets last night. WoodwartIand George Quigg were with him at the time, he said, but Reuben was not present. He met Reuben afterward, he said.

Reuben conducts a saloon on the corner of Third and Seneca, and the place bears the euphonious title "The Dizzy." The line of buildings in which Reuben's resort is located is known to the police officials as "Revelers' Row," and is the scene of many nocturnal escapades. His right name is Ora Reuben, but he is known to his fellow noctivigants and residents of the Row as Sailor, and it is said that the latter precursory cognomen pleases him immensely.

A CELEBRATED EXPERT WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF THE ANCIENT AND MILDEWED FAKE TO HOODWINK A CREDULOUS POPULACE BRITISH MUSEUM HAS STANDING OFFER FOR ANY SPECIMEN OF GENUINE PETRIFACTION. Immediately following the expose of the fraud imposed by the alleged discovery of a petrified man in Sait Creek Valley, which appeared in The Times a couple of weeks ago and the demonstration of the fact that there was never an ounce of petrified flesh in the world comes the report that the owners of the body have it stored the city and are making? preparations to exhibit it during the reunion. In this connection the following letter, written by Dr. T.

"Such a process is Impossible, for the reason that animal tissues will disintegrate and dissolve before the stone, solution, can displace its atoms and solidify. The numerous instances of human bodies exhumed and found to be "petrified" are only instances of infiltration of the interstices of the tissues with mineral matter, usually carbonate of lime. The body is saturated with it but not petrified, for the atoms of concreted stony matter are held together by the tissues not vat decayed.

A body in this condition, if exposed a short time to the action of the air. or sun, will crumble away. This rapid disintegration is due to the destruction of the animal tissues that Lt'M the Infiltrated particles of lime together. In true petrifaction each atom (of the shell, or bone, or wood) as it is carried away by the water is replaced by one of inspissated mineral solution, and the whole, in this way, becomes solid stone (or other petrifyiag mineral). Petrifaction is a very slow process, and can take place only where air is excluded.

The so-called petrified bodies are like a sponge, filled with sand, or partly concreted alkoloids of lime, held in place only by the spcr.ige tissu-r, etc." Dr. Fred A. Ballard, of the Soldiers Home, a scientific and cultured gentleman, writes: "The British museum has a standing reward of, I think, $10,000 for a piece of petrified human flesh as large as a man's finger.
