Green, Dan Johnson, Dr. Still, and your humble sjieaker, were standing in the middle of the old Santa Fe road, holding a council of war, about one hundred yards from our cabin. The country was full of marauding parties of pro- slavery border ruffians. While thus counselling together for de fense ill case of an attack, the mail stage from Hie west came in the red-shlrted escort In advance.

Linilsvtlle, Oct. 20. A during anil well I iltl scheme for revolt and escape from tliu ciMivietH' eutni) In Wliitlcv eonntv. tliis etalc, was brotiglit to liht ami l'rnst rated ny the arrest at rankfort yesterday afternoon, of Mrs. Jennie Clark, a liandsimie young woman.

Her husband was sent to the penitentiary tome months ago to serve a three-ycur sentence for horse stealing. He was taken out in a gang to work In the Whitley county. When the wife learned of this.slie at once set about devising means for his escape. In some manner she got a letter him, and shortly al ter followed the letter to the mines herself. Here the plot was arranged.

She paid number of visits to her husband at the camp, and each time carried him a revolver or some other weapou secreted about her person. In this way twelue of the most dangerous convicts were armed. Everything was in readiness for the rev olt, a favorable opportunity for a move being awaited. Some changes were or Icred in the eamn from headquarters, and one of the armed twelve was called back to the pen. When he arrived he was searched and a pistol found.

Hoping to escape punishment ho made a clean breast of the whole matter, telling how the woman had concocted the nlot and smuggled in the arms. Mrs. Clark was immediately arrested, and orders were telegraphed to the camp to have the convicts searched. This was done and what might have been a murderous mutiny was stopped. Mrs.

Wulkup'a Trlul. Emporia, October 20. At this morning the District Court room was crowded almost to suffocation. The jury was called and the following gentlemen who had been selected yesterday took positions In the Jury box: Chan. J.

Johnson, of Jackson township; J. K. Peterson, of the northwestern portion of this county; O. C. Gassier, S.

C. Cooly, II. C. Adams, H. F.

Holmes, J. S. Cook, Michael Myers, S. Clark, J. M.

Ueun, A. W. Bugbee and W. A. Huysiuger, all of this county.

Mrs. Walkup entered in the Sheriff's company, and accompanied also by two ladies. She sat down with her back to the vast gathering and conversed for a few moments with her attorney. After the nry had been called, each by name, the attorneys made brief statements. Then followed the taking of testimony.

The prosecution In their statement of the charge said they would prove a conspiracy before marriage ou tlto life of J. K. Walkup; that poison had been bought uom in Cincinnati and In this city by the defendant, and that the mother was ooir. nizaut to the same, aud In connection with this would show the extravagance of defendant In purchasing manv and sary goods of various parties In this city. most 01 me evidence heard this morning went to snow Mrs.

Walkup's extravagance. iidn Vlceiil' 1H, Washington, October 20. Judtre Vin cent and his friends are making strenuous eff orts to get a reoonsideration of the order suspending him, and again to-day the telegraph wires aud the mails brought numerous communications iu his behalf addressed to evory government olllcial wuo cau in any way bo supposed to have inuuence to undo the order. Ouni.n.i Sparks received a telegram from the Judge iu hub cueci: "I'leaso see my letter to the attorney general. I have been greatly misrepresented to you.

No laud grant ueiu voiu lost week." Inquiry was made at the Justice late this afternoon, but the repre sentative was informed by Attor uey General Garland himself that In had received no letter or telegram from Judge Vincent, although he had numer ous communications from other sotirocs relation to the matter of Vincent's ana. pension. He said that nothing had been done to change the status of the affair which remains just as heretofore. Besides tho Uilcgram from Vincent, General Sparks received a long letter from Con Interesting and Instructive Idoas of Democratic Doctrine Enthusiastically Encored, Eloquent and Stirring Speeches by Qovornor Robinson, Colonol Moore and Others at High Prairie School House, In spitn of the rain Sunday night, and the muddy roads, a large and intclli-gcat audience assembled at tho High l'ra- me school illow Springs township. on Monday evening, to hear the speeches of Hon.

Clias. Koblnson.Col. Moore, Hon, Sidney Clark and Judge Bell. Colonel Moore's remarks were as usual terse and to the point, lie said that this was not a national election: that there was no need in voting for these men to get up a wonderful feeling of excitement any more than there was iu hiringa farm hand or a clerk the mind and Illness of the man was the only thing to collider. That the policy of Hie administration had been thus far an exceptionally good one, and a just government had been given to the people.

The Itepublican pat ty had often boiled the convention and supported the opposition ticket, anil did the Democrats put in a bad man that he would like to see the party unanimously refuse to support a dishonest mau for any ollke. That the Cyclones has been ordered out by Gen. Huberts, a lot of y( men clothed in red uniforms, with stripes down their pants aud a spike in their hat, and were going to parade over tho county before the citizens. It is an Insult to the com. inuuity, the idea of attempting by a boom-boom display to distract tho at ten.

tion of the people from the main Issue and by an Imposing array influence the votes of the multitude. That the citizens of Douglas county were the jury In the tsc and in their hands lay the decision. "We come here to plead our case anil treat you as Innocent men and not as children to be diverted by a toy." I Io touched upon the county auditor's bill, and Its effect of imposing upon the people an unnecessary expense of or fii.000 per year. That It so happens that every man on the People's Ticket was an old soldier, while it so hapHMis that every man on the Republican county ticket staid at home. That Cant.

Barnes served in die 1st Kansas ltcglinent as a private, and for bravery was promoted to captain, and while at Wilson's creek and Bloody Hill, saw as hot a time us there was iu the war. Jerry Glathart took part in the delcnse of Lawrence, ami was taken prisoner and was taken before General Price. While B. J. llorton left his leg at Stone river.

Colonel Moore was interrupted several times by applause. Hon. Sidney Clark followed with a clear and comprehensive history of tho Watson defalcation, during which ho read Paul Brook's letter refusing to support Newliu. He gave a brief but inter esting history of President Cleveland's noble course iu ejecting the cattlemen from tho Indian Territory. Mr.

Clarke went on to say, "Col. Moore isacandidate for Hie office of County Treasurer of this county ou the Peoples' ticket, ami I think I speak truthfully, frankly ami fairly when I say that tho National bank is Hie other candidate. Why? Simply under this law creating an Auditor the County treasurer of Douglas county is com pelled to deposit the funds received daily In some bank. If Newliu was elected he of course would deposit it in the Nation. al hank, which, even if It paid interest, would only do at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, while they loan it at the rate of 12 percent, or over, the bank thereby realizing an enormous prollt.

That, gentleman, is the reason that New liu is a candidate. The president of the National bank, Judge 8. 0, Timelier has taken to the stump, fol lowed by other stoekholders.and a director Is candidate. Therefore, I repeat the National bank Is a candidate. No wonder they cuu put their hands down In their pockets aud pay tlto expense of the Flam beau Club.

Judge S. O. Timelier Is the last man tint ought to mention the Wat son case. Watson went to Timelier, and before Timelier would defend lilui exacted an exhorbitant sum from him running into the thousands. In the meantime this little fellow Albert Kuittle, was elected county attorney.

He was a former clerk iu Tlucher's office. The case was brought Into court by a former partner of 1 liueher's, after having run ulong until the patience of the people was exhausted when Tliaoher had the court appoint two referees, one Mr. Nowlln, director of Thachor's bank the other, H. Wilson, now a fugitive from Justice for forgery committed In Wyandotte." Mr. Clarke then went on to tell tho audience the joke of these referees working mistake uas occn made.

Zimmerman heard of the warrant and at once devised a plan to escape punishment. Ho wrote a letter to his family, bidding them farewell forever, purchased a new suit ol clothes and threw his old ones Into tho lake, lie was reported drowned, and his suicide was extensively written up in the papers.

The constable who had the warrant for his ar rest returned the paper wllh the luseri-tion, "gone to a higher court." Funeral services were held and his wile donned widow's weeds. To-day Zimmerman passed through ou his way West from New York, was recognized, and now renoses In tho county jail. Al'rnlil llti Wonld bp Indianapolis, October 20 The unknown old man horribly beaten by tramps at Vineenues, Saturday, died yesterday. Three tramps were arrested ou suspicion of having committed the crime Frank Smith, John iiady and Charles Hams. The hitter acknowledged having beaten the old man inascullle.

They were followed by a crowd of excited people, aud it Is feared unless removed to other quarters ltarns at least will be taken front jail and lynched, as the feeling against him iu particular Is very excited.
