25. When the members of the farmers' alliance meet with delegates from its co-ordinate branches the schemes which are sprung upon the public fairly paralyze the conserva Rli Charg-ea Against Elder Gill Dlxfnlssed by the Senior Preacher. Kansas City, August 24. The charges against the Rev. Edward Gill, presiding elder of the Leavenworth district of the Mothodist church, with headquarters at Baldwin, have been quashed.

The charges were brought by the Rev.Dr.'A. II. Tevis, formerly pastor of the Washington Avenue Methodist church, and were filed with Bishop Merrill, June 18th. The charges were: First Of creating dissension in tho Washington Avenue church. Second Defamation of character in statinsr in tho bishop's cabinet during the annual conference that Dr.

Tevis was not a fit ma.ito occupy a pulpit for the reason that be was addicted to the moi-anhine. chloral and opium habits Third Lying In denying that ho had made these statements referred to in the second charsre. These were supplemented by a fourth charire of lying at the ecclesiastical court during the trial of Dr. Tevis. This last charge was tiled after the conclusion of the church trial and the suspension and withdrawal of Dr.

Tevis from the Methodist church. Bishop Merrill referred the charges hock to Dr. Tevis with instructions to file them with three senior ministers of this district for investigation, accord ing to the rule of the discipline where in charges are made against a presid in? elder. Dr. Tevis accordingly re ferred the charges to the Rov- John A Simpson, pastor of the First Methodist church of Kansas City, Ks.

The Rev. Mr. Simpson is one of the senior preachers of this district. He returned from this morning, where he has been spending his vacation, and to a reporter he said that the charges against Elder Gill had been dismissed. Upon receiving the information against Elder Gill he conferred with the Rev.

W. C. Osbourne of Wellsville, and the Rev, C. R. Houts of Gardener, both senior preachers.

Their conclusion was that on account ol tho pending civil suit of the Rev. Mr. Tevis against the Rev. Mr. Gill for 000 damages for alleged defamation o) character, which allegation is the same as the charge against Elder Gill before the committee, it would be wise for the committee to dismiss the charges.

was accordingly done ana they were dropped. Dr. Tevis, however, has not been notified of th action of the committee, and only a few days ago he wrote letter to Bishop W. X. Ninde telling him of the delay and asking him to investigate the matter.

PROPERTY SECURITY TOR MONEY. The Financial Ideas of Mr. Westrup. Topeka. August 25.

A num ber of alliance leaders were recently in seoret meeting with Alfred P. West-rup of Chicago, editor of the Auditorium, the organ of the mutual bank pro paganda, and listened to tne idea he is advocating on financial matters. Mr. Westrup is an avowed anarchist and does not believe in government. Consequently he does not take much interest in the sub-treasury scheme of the people's party.

What' he wants is a mutual organization that will issue its own money regardless of the government and entirely independent of it. His plan is to make all property, whether personal or real, a basis of credit for its owner who will put in an appearance at the office of the mutual banking propaganda, register there his belongings and on the strength of it receive a receipt which will entitle htm to a cer tain amount of credit, the understand ing being; that his property is ample security lor its payment. These recoipts or certificates of credit are intended to circulate freel af money, which Westrup thinks they will do without trouble. He has been in the city several days talking his plan over quietly witfif the leaders of the new party and so finally arranged for the little meeting which was held in A M. Mackay's office.

He por trayed to the financiers in the now party ihe advantage of his more advanced ideas and urged those present to use their influence in securing for his scheme the indorsement of the people's party in its platform in this state, He assured them that the people's party of Kansas had progressed further on this line of thought than any other in the country and he in sisted that they were sufficiently ad vanced in financial education to take the study of his higher course. The Kansans who attended the meet ing, while they are in favor of all the money they can get from the sub-treasury and everything else in the list of categories of the proposed financial leg islation, are hardly prepared at this time to take the power of making money from the government provided the government will make enough foi thcra.

I The Murderer of Christie Warden Dls-covered at Last Found Concealed In a Btable. Hanover, N. Aug. 24. Frank C.

Almy, the murderer of Christie Warden, was discovered in Mr. Warden's barn Friday. Charles E. Stewart, a student at the state college, located Almy in the hay by prodding with a long handle of a shovel. When he punched the hidden man, a bullet was fired up at him through the hay on which he stood.

The hidden man continued firing, at the same time digging himself out of the hay. He fired in all fifteen shots at the searchers, driving them from the barn. A. Turner of Warwick was slightly injured. A council of war was held as to the best means to dislodging the murderer.

From the talk of the searchers it is evident that Almy's trial would not cost the county a cent, as he would be shot at sight. As the party went into the barn Almy's voice was heard. He asked that John Fuller be sent to him as he wished to talk with him. Fuller and Sheriff Bridgeman went into tho loft. After consultation with Almy, Sheriff Fuller returned, and securing a ladder, said: "Citizens: Almy has been found.

Now, I call upon you in the name of law and good order to restrain your anger and let the law take its course with the foul I say this at the request of the county officials, men whom we chose by our votes to aot for us. We all have confidence in them. We have as good courts as there are on the face of the earth." Then turning to the county solicitor, he said: "Solicitor Mitchell, I think I can assure you that these 1,500 citizens, most of whom I know personally, will consent to let the law take its course." These remarks were greeted with cries of "yes, yes, let the law take its course." Mr. Bridgman said: "Almy is con cealed under twenty feet of hay. He says, 'if you don't flive me protection I will sell my life as dearly as possible and then kill myself, but if you will guarantee me protection through John M.

Fuller I will give up my arms and come The law abiding spirit of the peopk was put to a severe test, but the feeling soon became strong that Almy should die decently after a verdict of guilty had been brought in from a regularly-constituted jury. Mr. Bridgeman, still perched on tho ladder, said: "Your assurance that Almy shall be dealt with according to law is satisfactory. I promise that you shall all have an opportunity to see him. Form in lines on each side of the road and he shall pass along between, the lines.

1:15 p. m. The officers have attacked the barn with Winchester rifles and Almy is retaliating shot after shot from his revolvers. 1:50 p. m.

Almy has been overpowered and taken to the Wheelock house, where he has been confined up-stairs. Half a dozen officere with drawn revolvers stand at the foot of the stairs holding back the excited crowd. THE MURDER OP CHRISTIE WARDEN. Frank Almy murdered Christie War-psn July 19th last at Hanover. Almy had formerly been a farm hand em ploye of Mr.

Warden, the father of the murdered girl. Me became infatuated with Miss Christie Warden, a very beautiful and attractive girl, but his attentions were distasteful to her. Finally he was discharged by her father. Then Almy began to haunt the War den house and dog about until Miss Warden's life was one of terror. Sunday, July 19th, as Mrs.

Warden, her two daughters one of whom was Miss Christie and a Miss Goodell were walking the short distance from Han-' over to the Warden farm they were in- tercepted by Almy. The time was evening, and as the party came to a part of the road dark and black with the shadows of trees, Almy confronted them. He drew a revolver and order Mrs. Warden to go on or he would shoot her. Miss Goodell dragged her away.

The younger sister, Fannie, aged 17. clung to Miss Christie and sought to save her. Almy said to her: "Christie, I have come for you and our time is short." He then seized the horified girl and sought to drag her from her Bister. She struggled, but his superior strength drew her away from the road into the brush at one side. The sister followed and he fired three shots at her one of which grazed her shoulder.

He then turned the pistol on Miss Christie, whom he still held in his left arm, and fired two shots. The girl fell lifeless and Almy fled just as help came, To Share Fro Bats. Atchison, Auerust 24.

The following story was sent out by the Associated Press last nitrht and published this morning: Onset Bay, August 17. Yes- terday the Onset Bay association through its executive officers served formal written notice upon Mrs. Etta Roberts of Rochester, N. request ing that she leave the grounds of the association. Mrs.

Roberts gave a seance in her cottage last Thursday to a party that included Mrs. Dr. Blande of Washing ton. D. M.

B. Little of Glen's Falls, and Mrs. Lillian Wood and Mrs. F. Baker of Topeka, Ks.

It became evi dent to those assembled that all was not as it should be and at the close ol the seance Mrs. Little and Mrs. Baker took possession of the cabinet for the purpose of investigating. They found sscreted boneatha bed Miss Annie West of Topeka, Kansas, who had been preambulating about the room as a spirit and had made such poor work that the parly easily perceived the deception. Thev also found other evidences of fraud and made a report ol their discovery to the officers of the association.

This story is probably mixed. F. P. Baker and other well known spiritualists of this city have attended the annual conventions of spiritualists at Onset bay for years and Mr. Baker is there now.

Mrs. F. P. Baker, to whom reference is made, is now in Topeka. Mrs.

Lillian Wood is also a resident ol Topeka. Nothing is known here ol Miss Annie West, who posed as the ghost. It is claimed that an alleged medium named Mrs. West gave seances here years ago, but whether they are one and the same person is not known. Willi Indians as Agents.

Caldwell, August 25. J. Ma.yes, chief of the Cnerokee nation, with twenty-five of his followers, is ai this place to-day holding a conference with the cattlemen. The recent ordei of President Harrison admitting Cher-okees to hold cattle in the strip in their own name is virtually turning over thai country to the cattlemen again, and while it will not taneht the Cherokee as a nation, a few of them will receive great benefits. Thousands of cattle will be transferred bv bill of sale and otherwise to the In dians within the next few days by the cattlemen.

Of course there will be a silent understanding that those cattle will be sold back to their original own ers when they are ready for market at an advance of $2 or per head, which will amount to a great sum to the individual Indian who will have in his pos session from 3,00:) to 10.000 cattle. Besides, it will be cheap grazing for the cattlemen. Chief Mayes and his followers are ali very jubilant over this victory, and say that the president's concession is an admission of their absoluto title to the strip. They propose to carry thing with a high hand, and no one will take anything from the strip from now on without paying tribute to Chief Mayet or some of his followers. Here is an example of what tho Kan sas farmers along tne state line will have to compete with from now on- One man made a contract with the Cherokees this morning for the privi lege of cutting 300 tons of hay from the strip within four miles of Caidwell at Ihirt --five cents a ton.

Another mar has an option on a stone quarry just across the Mio at such a figure thai the quarry here cannot possibly com pete against it. At an informal meeting this torenoor Chief Mayes offered to compromise the suit for $200,000 recently begun againsl the cattlemen lor and it hinted that before night he will accept a smaller sum and the suit will be dis missed. There is a very bitter feeling against tho administration here because of the president's action. The southern Kansas farmer has bad to compete with In dian territory cattle always. He has had to pay taxes on his ftock and pasture them on land worth from $15 to $25 an acre, while just across the line were cattle that were placed on the market at 4 years of age at a cost of nol more than $10.

The people or this vi cinity will hold an indignation meeting baturdav and express their sentiment on the situation and forward them te Washington. Death ofs Scholary Tonng Priest.

The latest is a trust for placing co-operative stores in every hamlet in the land. The alliance commercial convention, which was supposed to have met to arrange in one co operatlvo sys tem the various business enterprises which already operate under the alliance name, had the co-operative store scheme sprung upon it yesterday afternoon, and the idea fairly dazzled the delegates. S. W. Sandusky of of the alliance' exchanges, did not claim that the scheme originated with him, but he has the honor of bringing it 4efore the Kansas public.

Mr. Sandusky informed the delegates that in the state of New York a company had been chartered with a capital stock of 20 million dollars, one-sixth of which was paid up. Its object was to develop co-operative mercantile houses in the United States. It was called the National Union company, and, so far as he has been able to learn, it was a good thins-. Mr.

Sandusky's idea was to see if something on similar lines could not be done ia Kansas. Everybody showed deep interest in a concern which had 20 millions behind it, despite the resolutions which had been adopted deprecating tho concentration of wealth, and Mr. Sandusky was urged to explain further. He said that it was the intention to purchase goods in immense quantities and have them shipped direct from distributing points to the i operative stores. Each town in which there were co-operative stores was to have a resident manager who would have vote in the annual meetings of the company.

These stores would not be money-making institu tions, but simply local distributing depots, and after all the expenses had la l. 1. a paiu, Hie wuuiu ue given ri reg ular purchasers by a system of rebates. After this explanation, 1- rank: mc Grath moved that a committee of seven be appointed to inquire into the scheme, and. if it was found feasible, make ar rangements for putting it in opperation in this state at once.

Every delegate was in favor of this motion, and numer ous speeches followed, in which every orator felt called upon to say that the system of co-operation would soon be universal. The committee appointed consisted of L. II. Gest of Valley Falls, R. H.

President McGrath stated at noon that the committee had not bad sufficient time to consider the scheme and that no report would be made until the convention met in 20. The dato set for the adjourned session is Tuesday preceding tho annual convention of the farmers alliance.
