July 8th '95. A story which is exciting the livliest interest in Washington and which, if true, explains the apparently contented attitude of the rep-publican silver senators during the silver discussions of the past three or four months, ie in substance about as follows: Those senators will all attend the republican nation- al convention as delegates. They will demand that the convention nominate either Senator Cameron or Senator Teller or declare for free coinage of silver in its platform. When those demands are refused, as they expect them to be, they will not attempt to make a bolting nom ination, but will return to their respective homes and see that a republican ticket containing the names of electors pledged not to vote in the electoral college for any man not in favor of the free coinage of silver is nominated. They figure that the election of such tickets will be comparatively an easy task in all the silver states, be-they will be voted for by nearly all silver states, regardless of their previous party connection, and that enough electors can be so chosen to hold the balance of power in the electoral college and either compel the election of a silver man, regardless of the party nominations, or throw the election into the House of Representatives.

In the latter event they claim that the silver men would hold the balance of power the division, according to their figures, being 16 republican gold states, 1G democratic states, and 12 republican silver states and could succeed in compelling either the democrats or the republican to name a silver man. They claim that ten of the republican silver states would cast their votes regardless of party and in favor of a silver democrat rather than a gold republican. Twenty-five states woild elect. Professor Willis L. Moore, who has succeeded Professor Harrington as chief of the Weather Bureau, is very well known in Washington, where he first became an employee of that bureau some twenty years ago.

Although he has for several years been known as the most skillful and successful weather forecaster in the service, Mr. Moore is a printer by trade and for somtt ire after he became an employee of the bureau he ran a little job office in WasLington. He Las already taken charge of the bureau and he talk3 very nicely about how he proposes to run it. He says merit is to be the only test for tLe promotion of its employees and tLat tLere is to be no nolitics in tLe Bureau. He is credited witL being a republican, al though he has never been active politics.

He says of tbe work of tLe Bureau: "showers and miner cLancres in temperature are rela- tivelv unimportant, but at least 80 per cent, and perbaps 90 per cent. of tLe severe cLanges of weatLer sLould be accuratelv forecasted at least 12 hours or more ahead. All officials and employees will be given an incentive to better work and scientific discoveries will be rewarded by Honorable Matt Ransom, U. S. Minister to Mexico, now on le'ave of absence, is in Washington.

He says of that country 'It is sur prising to know Low large tLe American interest is in Mexico, suppose tLat tLere are from $200 000,000 to $300,000,000 of Ameri can capital invested in the Republic. All of the railroads, except the one from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, were built by American money, while great smelting worEs, factories, and other improvements have been inaugurated by Americans It naturally follows that the U. minister has a good many matters to constantly claim Lis attention, but tLe Mexican Government is dis posed to be very friendly with this country, and the work of the minis ter is made pleasant as Mr. Bamson will not go back unti late in August, if he goes oack at all. The climate of Mexico does not agree with him, and if he can get some other appointment he wil probably resign as Mexican Minister.

Post Office PeoartmeLt officials have been saying some very uncom plimentary things much harsher than anything Postmaster Genera Wilson wrote in his letter to the U. S. uiBtrict Attorney, autnonztng an offer of $1,000 reward for each of the escaped prisonersabout the reform officials of the Ludlow street jail, in New York City, from which the three notorious post office burglars were allowed to escape several days ago, and such remarks as "col The Best Shoes Money can be located.

The Independence base ball team has been further strengthened by the employment of Frank Woolever, one of the best players in the Webb City team. On next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday our team will meet the Winfield team in this city, and a great match team is anticipated. Judge Skidmore closed the ad journed term of court yesterday, hav ing cleared the docket of every case ready lor trial. lne judge is a great worker, begins on the first day and keeps at it for the whole term, and is giying general satisfaction to the jurors and -the public. He has run down in health, and next week will go to the mountains of Colorado to recuperate.

They are getting the the county farm in nice condition, will have to put in windmill and steel tank to save hauling water. Also, to build one or two more rooms for female patients.

On tLe FourtL of July tLree cus tomers at Woodland's drug store, CLerryvale, called for brandy and Jamaica ginger two were made sick and vomited it up, but tbe otLer went to sleep and died from tLe drink.

In vestigation proved tLat tLey Lad been given laudanum and ginger by mistake, and it produced death of one customer. On Tuesday night at 11 p. ni the same drug store was found on fire, but it was put out; but at 5 a. this morning it was again found to be on. fire and was burned down.

Insurance $3,500 W. E. Ziegler and F. C. Moses went to Hayana to investigate on Sunday the sudden death of the wife of Henry Haag, Sr.

They learned tnat in tne morning jvirs. iaag was not feeling well, and took a glass of home-made wild grape as a stimu lant. In a few hours sLe became much worse and died. A physician wno was called, tasted two spoon fuls of the mixture and found it necessary to use an emetic. it is suppose tnat in making tne wine some poison berries got mixed in the grapes, thereby poisoning the whole, and there is no evidence suicide or foul play.

The wine is to be analyzed. Democratic Convention. The Democrats of Montgomery county will hold a delegate conyen tion in the city of Independence, Kansas, on Saturday, August 10th, 1895, at o'clock, a. m. for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the following county offices: Sheriff, Treasurer, Clerk, Register of Deeds, Surveyor and Coroner.

Great Danger of the Garrison Falling into the Hands of the ISiiemy. By the strategy of one of the re union scouts, the commander has come into information that leads him to belieye that the enemy is gathering in force from the north, northwest and west and intends mak ing a desperate effort to capture the garrison, witn all its munitions ana make its men, women and children prisoners of war. Our trusted scout Las so fully discovered the enemies plans as to know that the invading foe is under command of Maj.

Kentner, of Caney, and Smith, of Fawn Creek. These men have made raids into all the surrounding coun try, captured arms and munitions, and are pressing every able bodied male person above the age of sixteen into their ranks. The scout has also learned that Gen. McTag- gart, late of our army, has joined their ranks, arid has been the means of securing several pieces of heavy ordnance for their assault on our works. Just the daj- or hour tLis horde will commence their march on our homes and firesides we have not yet been able to learn, but it be hooves us as American citizens to organize as we have never organized before and hurl the invaders from our fair land.

To do this will re quire the united actions of all liber ty loving citizens of this great na- tlonr If you love home and fireside and would not see them ruthlessly taken from you, your sons and daughters insulted or cast into prison, your aged father and mother ruthlessly torn from you and sent to a foreign land, be up and doing.
