MYSTERIOUS BSK ROBBERY.
Exchange National Uank of Eldorado.
Kan.. Lue!.$l.-,700.
Eldorado, Kan., Apiil 5. The Ex
change National bank of this eity
waB robbed a few days ago, but the
sews was not given to the public
until today, when a statement vras
zaade covering the same and signed
by the directors. The amount taken
was $15,700, slO.000 beiog in gold,
and $5,700 in currency. How the
robbery occurred im a mystery. The
money was in the yault secured by a
time lock, and no force was used on
the game. A reward of $4,000 has
baen offered as follows: Two thous
and dollars for tb ltHcovery and a
proportional amount for the return
of any part thereof, and $2,000 for
the arrest and conviction of the guil
ty party or partD-x.
The mason the bank withheld the
news from its depositor was that
they thought the guilty parties could
be discovered, but there im no clew
The depositor are not larmed. as
the bank is one of the strongest in
the State, and the deficit has been
made good ty the stock-holders, who
comprise some of the leading men of
the community. The supposition is
that some oue who is accquainted
with the combination is connected
with the affair.
In An Awful Tangle.
Chicago, 111., April 4 Assassin
Prendergast will not be hanged be
fore July 2, and not uutil May 21
will the investigation into the con
dition of his mind l" commenced.
Such was the order issued by Judge
Chetlain this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
The defense insisted on the case be
fore a jury from the regular venire,
and to this the State's attorney
stoutly objected. He insisted a speci
al venire should be made, ashe want-
el "men of intelligence" not the
kind of men to be found on the reg
ulation jury.
When the hearing came up before
Judge Chetlain to day it was agreed
that only oue continuance Bhould be
made and that one long enough to
provide for the full trial of the case.
Th State asked for four months and
the delense usked for two weeks
more. The trial of the case was
reckoned to take a month and con
sequently the dates of May 21 and
July 2 were agreed upon The case is
now in an awful tangle, and neither
State's Attorney Ktro, Special Coun
sel Trude, upon whom the burden
of the prosecution rests, nor the at
torneys for the defense are prepared
to say what will be the outcome.
Stock ot Wheat.
Washington, D C, April 4 The
report of the Secretary of Agricul
ture in reply t the resolution of
Senator Pettigrew calling for a state
ment of the visible and invisible sup
ply of wheat was submitted to the
Senate to-day. The total supply on
March 1. 1893, he states, was 610,
000,000 bushels. Exports from
March 1, 1893, to March 1, 1894,
consumption from March 1, 1893, to
March 1, 1874, amount in farmers'
hands March 1, 1893, and Tisib'e
supply March 1, 1894, he states
amounted to 729,000,000 bushels,
which he gives as the total amount
distributed and available for distri
bution.. The apparent discrepancy
ia 119,000,000 bushels. The supply
on hand March 1, 1S94, he says, was
190,000,000. The probable con
sumption from March 1 to July 1,
1894, he put at 121,000,000 bushels,
leaving 69.000,000 bushels available
for export from March 1 to July 1,

IOWA'S FIRST SENATOR.
Reception Given (;ore W . Jones by
The State Legislature.
Des Moines, la., April 4. George
W. Jones of Dubuque, first United
States Senator from Iowa, arrived
here to day, and was given a recep
tion by the Legislature. Speeches
were made by Lieutenant Governor
Dungan, Speaker Stoue, George C.
Wright, and others, aud the whole
afternoon given up to the occasion.
Governor Jackson participated in
the ceremonies. Mr. Jones will be
90 years old April 12, and the recep
tion was in recognition of the event
General Jones served in Cougres
with Polk, John Bell, Alexandtr
Stephens and Lincoln, and was once
a partner of Daniel Webster, with
whom he purchased the site of Madi

to suggest the idea of a transconti
nental railway. In his youth he was

classmate of Jefferson Davis at
Transylvania, and a warm friend of
the Confederate chief.
Senator Vest's Income Tux Change
Considered.
Washington, D. C , April 4. The
proceedings of the Senate up to 2
o'clock, when Mr. Allison resumed
his tariff speech were devoid of gen
eral interest.
Senator Vest's uaain suggestions
for a change iu the bill are made in
the increase tax. He adds the pro
vision: "That all non resident cor
porations shall be subject to & tax of
2 per cent upon all distributed sums
sent abroad,' which sumi for the
purpose of this act shall be held to
be dividends to foreign stockholder
or policy holderp, and the resident
agent or manager of such foreign
corporation shall with hold said tax
of 2 per cent from all such undistri
buted sums and make return and
pay the tax thereon
He also makes a provision exempt
ing a liquor manufacturer from pay
ing the tax of a wholesale liquor
dealer
Chairman Wilson expects to be in
the House when the tariff bill comes
back to that botly for consideration.
The Populist Ticket.
The state ticket nominated latt
Tuesday at Kansas City by the fop
ulists is not calculated to enliven the
campaign. Something out of the
ordinary was anticipated from that
gatheriug, but the deliberations were
not characterized by enthusiasm and
the results are commonplace indeed.
Mr. O D. Jones, the nominee for
judge of the supreme court, lives up
at Knox county and has brcn a
poitical disturber for many years,
leading first the union labor party
aud then the people's party. This
is the fourth time he has received
this nomination, aud it seems a trifle
curious that the populists never
dream of allowing anybody to head
the ticket but O. D Jones, who has
not even the prestige of a single
v.ctory, or anything approaching a
victory.
The nominee for railroad commis
sioner. Mr. T. J. Hendrickson of
Bates county, is quite well known
here in Jefferson City, where he
served as a member of the legislature
three years ago. He was conspicuous
for his anti railroad bills and was
generally pet down as a socialist in
politics, albeit a very pleasant and
pleasing gentleman to meet.
Mr. Elhff, nominated for superin
tendent of public schools, is not
known to the public. He lives in
McDonald county and his qualifica
tions have yet to be written down.
All in all, the populist ticket is a
remarkably poor one, considering
the material the party was supposed
to ha7e at hand and the interest
which it was generally believed cen
tered in the convention. It might
have done much better. It could
hardly have done worse. The pop
ulists will bow go into the campaign
handicapped by a weak ticket and a
platform upon which nobody can
stand who has ever for a moment
stood on a democratic platform.
The Tribune repeats its declara
tion of three months ago there are
no real populists in Missouri, Jef
ferson City Tribune.

WAR IS OVKR.
South Carolina Is No Longer In Insur
rection.
Columbia, S C, April 5. Darling
ton a d Florence are no longer in
insunection, and tomorrow the State
troops will evacuate those now fam
ous localities and proceed to this
eity t j receive the "well doue" of
Govnnor Tillman, together with
their $1 50 per day. The Governor
to night issued a proclamation, stat
ing that "whereas, the commanding
general has informed him that the
insurgents have dispersed, and that
peace and order are lestored, and
that the civil authorities are now able
to uphold and enforce the law," he
accordingly declares that in tho
eounties of Darlington and Florence
there is no longer insurrection, and
the civil status is hereby restored
Governor Tillman is already be
ginning to reorganize the State mi
litis. Only eighteen companies
responded to his call to go to Dir
liugtou, and he intimates that there
will be a series of court martials.
Officers will pioceed to Chirleston
to morrow to collect all State arms
and the accouterments there and
and bring them to the State armory
here. Similar action will probably
ba taken all over the State.
There seems to be trouble in the
Governor's official family on the sub
jct of the recent tactics of the Gov
ernor. Every oue of the cabinet,
except perhaps Mr. Mayfield, depre
cates his conduct, and several of
them are outspoken in their denun
ciation of Tillman's tyranny. This
i-iformation comes direct and is true.
In addition to this, Secretary of
State J E. Tindal is incensed because
Tillman issued the police proclama
tion aud bad his name signed to it
while be (the Secretary of State) was
in Charleston.
A3 is well known, all proclama
tions are signed thus: "B. R. Tillman,
Governor; by the Governor, J. E.
Ticdal, Secretary of State."' This is
not a mere form, but the Secretary
must sign his own name and affix the
seal of the State to the document
issued. When the talk of Tillman's
issuing his police proclamation first
began. Secretary Tindal expressed
most unmistakable disapproval of
the scheme, and after the proclama
tion was issued Secretary Tindal
stated to an entirely responsible
gentleman in Charleston that he had
not given anyone leave to sign his
name, and that his chief clerk had
been given explicit orders not to affix
the great seal of the State except in
his presence.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 5. Miss
Alice Yingst, of Sand Beach, Dau
phin county, Pa., who is 26 years
old and weighs 338 pounds, started
last night for Cceur d'Alene, Idaho,
to meet her prospective husband,
whom she has never seen. Miss
Tingst answered an advertisement
signed by Harrv Cratzer, which she
saw im a matrimonial journal 1
five months ago. and the eng-js-ment
resulted. "
HARPER
CAMP
The Fotfp Hill Again.
The discovery that the repub
licans of New England are engaged
in collecting money to aiit in the
election of the populist ticLet in Al
abama is oue of the mot interesting
incidents of the year, since the fact
is also devrloped, in the shui" con
uectiou, that the republicans have
now no I'l itfonu but thit of protec
tion te monopolies and a force law
for the sujjei visiou of elections iu
the south. Old Senator Hoar, in a
letter to his constituents, urges
help for the Alabama populists on
the groun I that Kolb, the nominee
for governor, "is with us on the
force bill." although he had to admit
that Kolb was against the republi
cans on every other question
The Si- Louis Globe-Democrat
raps Senator Hoar soundly for aid
ing and abetting this alliance, be
cause it has sense enough to see that
there is one questiou, and only one.
that will nintantiy solidify every
southern interest iu opposition to
the republican party, and that is the
questiou of federal interposition in
elections. The south had supposed
this issue lemoved from politics with
the results of the election of 181)2,
and has beeu trying to consider oth
er mutters of national importance,
upon which it is now divided and
opened to a campaign of 'education;'
but. if the next republican campaign
is to be a renewal of the old section
al contest; if it is to be aguin a con
test of a negro domination and white
subserviency, the suddenness with
which the solid south will pull itself
together and renew itself together
aud renew its solidity will be an as
tonisher for such old grannies as
Senator Hoar and his holy baud of
New England tariff robbers.
The south knows its business
its people, its purposes and its own
best interests., The south ha had
enough of New Euglaud interference
iu its affairs and it has ma Jo a fair
fight at the polls for freedom. What
it wants now is the privilege of en
joying its victory, free from the
Puritan crowd that has been crying
at its heels for two hundred years.
Let th New England republicans
go on collecting money for tho Ala
baina populists if they want to see a
campaign that will keep the old
bond-clippers awake of nights. Let
them extend to Kolb all the assist
ance they see proper, rallying
the force bill as a ceuter of union
Let tbeiu go endeavoring to de
stroy the southern trade and people
and all at once the tariff and fiuau
cea and government economy will
disappear from public discussion,
and stlf preservation will constitute
first and last sections of all the plat
forms of the south, Old Senator
Hoar is courting troub'e. Jefferson

A Great Ureharu Ownr.
So far as known, the most exten
sive orchardiat in tho world is
Judge Fred Wellhouse of Topel-a.
He has 1,700 acres in orchards in
this state. Last week he planted
270 acres to apple trees in Leaven
worth county. The stock for this
planting was grown in his own nur
series and consisted of 25,000 2-year-old
trees of only three varieties.
These, were proportioned is follows
twenty-five acres in Jonathan, seven
ty five iu Ben Davis and 170 acres in
Gano.
The planting was made in rows
thirty-two feet apart and sixteen
feet apart in the rows. The entire
25,000 trees were taken from the
nursery and set in the orchard in
three days by thirty men and the
time from the lifting of a tree in
the nursery until it was planted in
the orchard was only ten to twenty
minutes. The orchard ground was
marked out by deep furrows both
ways, the trees were planted in place
by hand and enough soil- placed
around them to hold them in posi
tion and protect the roots and the
remainder of the filling was done
with the plow.
