The Farmer 4 ud go Will Not At
tend a Law School.
Ksniias City Timet.
Topeka, Kaii., Nov. 25 G. W.
McKay, the Harper cou ity farmer
who was elected judge of tbe twenty-fourth
district is in thi city.
Next to Jere Simpson, Judge McKay
has easily taken the lead for notorie
ty in the newspapers A farmer who
had nerer been, admitted to the bar,
he waft unmercifully guyed by the
press of his dititrict when the alii
ance judicial contention nominated
him and when the returns indicated
Lis election the metropolitan prenu
gave him almost a national reputa
tion. Newspaper correspondents recog
nized that they had struck a good
thing, and as a result he found him
self on his vay to Ann Aarbor to
attend law school, reading law on'
his own farm, settling disputes
among his neighbors and doing a
hundred other things which were
unknown to himself or his neigh
bors. When the Times correspondent
asked for an interview last evening
the farmer jurist made haste to ex
press his contempt for newspapers
in general and republican newspapers
in particular.
"The Times, you know, judge, is
an independent newspaper, which
treats the people's party fairly' sug
gested the correspondent.
"Yes, I know it," he said. "It is
all right by the farmers' alliauce in
Kansas, but whas about Missouri? I
don't think any of them tell the
truth."
Judge McKay was mild and sud
denly bethought himself of having
heard Jere Simpson once say that
the Times wa "the only square up
and down paper" published. He at
once began to speak freely to the
press representative of the Times
and wanted some corrections made.
Every republican politician in town
seemed to be congregated in the
Copeland lobby at the time, anil all
of them had their eyes on the judge.
They saw tho most inoffensive and
benevolent face in southwest Kan
sas a man not more than 5 feet 5
inches in height, who would not
wear his hat in a hotel lobby for
fear it would offend th clerk a
man with a luxuriant grow tu of whis
kers and a bald spot ou the back of
his head. There was nothing else
in his appearance that would attract
attention. His clothes were those
of a well-to-do farmer who was mak
ing hia regular Saturday trip to
town.
"That story about mc going to the
Michigan university law school is a
pure fiction," he said. "It never en
tered my head. I don't expect to
have any trouble to speak of or I
wouldn't have accepted the nomina
tion." "Did you ever study law?"'
'Yee, but I was never admitted to
practice. I read law in Chicago aud
not in Pennsylvania, as the uewspa
pers stated. My health would not
admit of me following the profession
so I abandoned it eight years ago
and moved to Kansas. My court
convenes in January, but Judge El
lis will sit the first five days. Of
course I will be there during that
time. I propose to use what com
mon souse I have in deciding ques
tions, but then people differ as to
:"vhat is a common sense decision."'
' -"Hate you read any law since the
election?"'
"No, I have been too busy attend
ing ratification meetings with Jere
Simpson. There is a fellow you will
hear from in congress. He has a
level head and is the best posted
man on economic questions in the
seventh district. Debauchery and
dissipation gets away with lots of
Mir western concressmen, but vou
nted not worry about Jere."
Having coucluded his talk the
twenty fourth district judge said he
was ready to go to uea, ana ne cau
tiously glided toward the hotel clerk
Goethe said: "One must be some
thing in order to do something.

WILL TKLL A IlOKUinLK TALK.
Stanley's Asent Thinks the Exnl.nt-r
Is Thoroughly Indignant.
That the explorer, Henry M. Stan
ley, is indignant at the assaults on
his character made by tho Jamesons
aud Bartellots is confirmed by his
agent, Mr. C. Christpherson, who
has been at Kansas City for two
days.
"I see from the Times,"' said he,
"that Stanley has determined to tell
the whole story of the fate of the
rear guard and let the public judge
as to who should receive the censure
Now that Stanley's indignation is
aroused my belief is that all the hor
rible lacts concerning the f;tte of
the rear guard will be giveu to the
public, and no doubt will be of the
most shocking and revolting nature.
I look for this at the next lecture to
be giyen iu New York Dember 3. It
is a great pity, for the publ ic is
none the wiser and the true story
when told, will simply disgust every
one. Troup and Herbert Ward who
were with the rear guard, are nice
fellows but they have been t.tying to
throw the blame on Stanley, but can
not make the public swallow it.
Stanley is a deep man a:id wiil not
make- public what he Tniows until
the proper time comes. Then look
out. His temper is now aroused
and I look for a genuine sensation
to sav the least." K. C. Times

The Kansas Outlaws Captured Al
ter a Long Chase and a
Fight.
Topeka, Kau., Nov. 23. Secreta
ry Mohler, who returned to-day from
Osborne county, brings the story of
the capture of a couple of horse
thieves after a desperate fight with
a sheriffs posse in which twenty
shots were exchanged and one of the
thieves slightly wounded. The men
captured arc the Shaefer boys, who
for several years have been residents
of Downs and are believed to be
members of an organized gang of
thieves who have been operating iu
the southwest and northwest into
the Indian territory.
About a month ago four horses
were stolen from a farmer in Os
borne county, and the whole coun
try turned out to hunt tLtm. The
thieves, however, made good their
escape, and the chase was abandon
ed. A week ago four more horses
were stoleu from William Diamond,
a wealthy farmer. The second raid
following so closely oa the first
thoroughly aroused the county and
a mass meeting of citizens was called
and a purse of $300 raised as a re
ward and $250 to pay tbe expenses
of thy hunt. Men weie sent in every
direction, but it was three or four
days before any trace could be found.
A clew was obtained in wouthwest
ern part of tbe state, but the thieves
managed to outwit their pursuers by
traveling due south in the day time
and west at night.
F. D. Wilson, sheriff of Barton
coui.ty, who was at the head of a
pon& finally encountered the men
and a running fight occurred. There
were .six men in the posse armed
with repeating rifles and revolvers.
After Sheriff Wilson had tired six
shfilo from his revolver the last bul
let gi :izc-.: t!:e ear of ouo of the Shaef
er boys, and ho thiew up his hands,
beli viug he wus shot through the
head. His brother also surrendered.
The Shaefer boys appear to be the
most ungrateful of thieves. About
twelvemonths ago one of them was
indii ted for horse stealing in south-'
western Kansas, and it was necessa
ry to raise $250 to employ an attor
ney. Will Diamond, from whom the
last batch of horses was stolen, was
one of four men to sign his name to
a note aud secured tbe money. One
of the Shaefers was working for him
at tbe time, and his widowed moth
er lived on the place. Just one
month before the note came due the
boys rewarded him for his friend
ship by stealing his horses.
It is believed that, the two boys
belong to tbe gang of thieves part
of whom were captured near Wichi
ta last week.

Fijrht With Indians.
Missoula, Mont., Nov. 25. A
fierce battle is in progress between
the United States regulars and
Northern Cheyenne Indians near
Fort Keogh, Mont. The department
has ordered three companies of Ft
Missoula troops to the scene of the
trouble. Advices from various
points say that lively skirmishing is
in progress all along the line, that
the Indians have been driven back
and that three or four of the reds
have been killed. The cause of the
trouble is not stated. It is believed
the difficulty has nothing to do with
the ghost dance, but was probably
an attempt of the Chevennes to re
lease by force Indiau prisoners in
jail at Miles City.

Kansas City, Nov. 20 Senator
George G. Vest aud Mrs. Vest are
at tbe Midland. The senator ha
been in Nebraska and he spoke of
the horrible destitution there. 1
saw a pair of horses sold at Graud
Island the other day for $15, $7-50
each just tbiuk of it. And cattle
why, they'l give them away to get
them off their hands.
'Iu the Argentine Republic they
can raise cattle at no co3t at all, and
yet Blaine talks of only reciprocity
with the southern countries, our
greatest rivals. If a farmer ormer
chant breaks up, congress does not
legislate to help him out. but let a
manufacturer do a losing business
and they thoot up the tariff with
the idea of helping him out.
"Our exports to South America
last year amounted to but $17,000,
000, while to Great Britain they
were $341,000,000. Where's tbe
market for our goods? As Mr. Cleve
land said at tbe Thurman bauquet,
if Blaino believes in reciprocity for
the south, why dosen't he believe in
it for tbe north aud east aud west?
Aud if he bv?lieveB in limited recipro
city, why should he discriminate
against the very countries that im
port tbe most heavily from us?''
'Blaine is the only man for the
republicans this next campaign.
They've got the G. A. R. vote so they
don't need Alger. Giesham gwou't
do. Harrison is out of the question
The campaign of '92 will not be one
in which a dark hor&e can be sprung
for it will be the most important
one in the history of the country.
Tariff will be the issue and each
party will weigh its candidates well
before putting them up. We've got
ours and he's a heavy weight, men
tally, physically and intellectually.
Who will the other party pit against
him? "
Failures in Life. 3
People fail in many ways. In busi

properly in the lungs, there is snortne

Senator Vest says of the election:
Of course, I am trreatlv tileased at
the result, althohgh tbe victory is a
bit irreater than I expected. Tbe
McKinley and force bills did it, and
tbe result of Tuesdav's election is
simply an expression of disapproval
on the part of the people of tl e
country. The glorious victory of
yesterday n but tb beginning of
the end of republican rule in this
country, and our victory in 1892 will
be even irrater. Ut course the re
sult in Missouri was a foretroue con
clusion and surprised no "ne, but
tbe results in doubtful and hereto
fore republican stab's are causes for
congratulation on tbe part of tbe
democrats."'
