"I drive this Dail in the interest of American industry and home markets," was the inscription on a banner ten feet long, placed upon a wagon on which there was a raised platform and on the platform was a man representing Gen. Harrison in the garb of a workman in the act of driving a nail in a coffin labeled "Grover the British ally." There were also two other diminitive coffins representing the other wings of the Democratic party labeled "Union Labor' and "Prohibition." This scene created quite a sensation in the ranks of the Democracy and its aids.

The same old chestnut answers his purpose for he has an abiding faith in the old saw that a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth.

Bloom, Kansas- Ed Republican: I have for the past two months or more, been away from the garden spot of Kanaas (McPherson) and now situated in a small village by the name of Blcom in Ford county. Sixty-five miles west is No Man's land and on the other hand twenty miles from Dodge City, and how far I really am from ''No where" is hard to tell. Politics are hot and heavy.

Every thing is strong Republican. Being unfortunately a Democrat myself and too honest, myself, to be a Union Labor man as a matter of course, have to be very quiet ia the way of politics.

R. The Century. Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood, whose serial story, "The Romance of Dollard," begins in the coming November Century, is an American lady residing in Hoopeston, Hlinois Among her previous writings are two books for young people entitled "Rocky Fort" and "Old Caravan Days." She has been greatly interested in Canadian subjects since her visit in Canada four years ago, when she was the guest of an American consul's family and saw the inside of Canadian life. She herself has lately said: "The story of Dollard at first impressed me as incredible.

I thought over it a long before hunting up records, historical evidence, and contemporary life. Finally I bcan. to make it a storv." The historian, Parkman, has written a preface for Mrs. Catherwood's novel, and Mr, Sandham, lately of Canada and now of Boston, has made illustrations for it, and it will run through four numbers of the Century. The historical reminisences in the Century are invaluable.

We make the prediction that twenty years from to-day well preserved files of the Century will sell at five times their original cost An investment in literature pays good dividends both in the present snd in the future. Three Hundred Dollars For a Defaulter and Five Hundred DoUars For a Dynamiter. Topeka, Oct 24. Governor Martin yesterday issued a proclamation offering a reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of Thomas J. Gooden, late treasurer of Rawlins County, who is a fugitive from justice, charged with embezzlement of the public funds.

Gooden left Atwood, the county seat, with his valise containing something over $10,000, saying that he was going to Topeka to make his second semiannual statement with the State Treasurer, but has never been heard from since in this part of the country, and it is presumed, gone to join the Canadian colony. It is not likely that he will ever be captured. The Governor also issued a proclamation offering a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the party guilty of the Cof-feyville dynamite outrage, and a further reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of each and every party accessory to the crime.

Over 1 7,000 women were interviewed and the results are being tabulated.

The force of specialists in the department are engaged in collecting the statistics in regard to marriage and divorce in this country. Colonel Wright expects to have this work completed and ready for transmission to Congress early in January. The special agents engaged iu this work have obtained the figures from 2,700 courts, and the period of investigation extends from lSGo to 18.S"..

TUESDAY. Don't Gamble. There are some young boys in this city who have begun to bet small sums on games of cards. Don't do it. Gambling is sure ruin to any business man.

The matter has not gone far enough to do much harm as yet. Now is a good time to stop. The boys may think the matter is all quiet, but names, dates, places, bets, can be given. Better quit now and no more will ever be heard of it. Important Enterprise.

Quite a number of prominent gentlemen who have had several years experience in a large beet sugar manufactory in Germany was in consultation to-day with several of our citizens at the office of F. B.

The superintenden-cy of this establishment will be by experienced sugar makers who will come from Germanjr.

The citizens of McPherson county enjoyed one of the best Campaign speeches delivered this fall. The address of Senator Plamb was a masterly ofl'ort Mid the most forcible liepublican argument delivered in McPherson foi years, if ever. Although the people were very uncomfortable, having to stand throughout the entire speech yet for two Lours he held the close attention of the audience while he poured hot shot ie I'M; i ks Democracy. While Plumb was speaking the opera house tilled up and J. G.

BurchiieLl dealt out truths and showed up the anarchistic principles of Union Laborism. He made a masterly effort. The two speeches were listened to by ai the least calculation 1G00 or 17(H) people. More people -tened to the truth as it was expounded by these two men than at any meeting' since the campaign began. The parade was not so large as oxpected on account of a misunderstanding as time of starting, and owitjg to the fact that large numbers came in on the trains not expecting to take part ia the display.

There was in the parade a genuine log cabin with a large fat coon on it. The most striking thing in the parade was a boat labeled ''Decoration day in the boat sat a man representing Cleveland with a fishing pole angling for for suckers in one end of the boat was a barrel full of papers with a lot bticking out over the edges was labeled "vetoed." Those in the parade represented tne solid business men of county and city. from Thursday's daily. The city was profusely decorated with bunting and the National emblem, the glorious stars and stripes. The old flag was floatir from numerous flag staffs, from the front of business houses and from every other place upon which it could be placed.

In fact ihere were but six business houses in the city that were not decorated. At 10 o'clock the band, flambeau club and prominent citizens repaired to tne lock Island depot to meet Senator Plumb. As the Senator stepped upon the platform a deafening shout went up from the assembled multitude, after quiet was restored three rousing cheers were given for the Senator. Ihe distinguished guest was escorted to a carriage and conducted to the Union hotel where rooms had been prepared for him. The flambeau club acted as a guard of honor, citizens carnages and on foot bringing up the rear.

Every incoming train during the day brought iu large numbers of people from every town in the county until by the time the torch light procession was formed Main street was a perfect jam for four blocks. The torch light parade was all that the most sanguine could expect. The display of lire works was simply immense. We heard quite a number of old men that had participated in many a presidential campaign, say that it was the most magnificent display they had ever seen. There were some very handsome and striking trausparancies in the parade.

Handsome portraits of Harrison and Morton were It is iniHssible to give the inscriptions that were on the trans- Hi The Intimidation Practiced in the No Rent Campaign Full Information Promised. Patrick Egan Gives His Opinion of tha Commission Ha Expects a Vindication. London, Oct. 24. The Parnell Commission resumed its investigation yesterday.

Mr. Joseph Biggar, who is one of the Irish members of Parliament mentioned in the Times' charges, made a personal request to be supplied with copies of those speeches read from by Attorney-General Webster which referred to him. The Attorney-General promised to supply them and then continued the presentation of the Times' case. He referred to I the Kilmainham jail anti-rent manifesto, which was signed with the names of I Messrs. Parneli.

Davitt, Breunan, Dillon, Sexton and Egan. He pointed out that I Mr. Davitt was then confined in Portland prison and could not have signed the pa-j per. Whether Air. Dillon was responsible for his signature would be shown.

It was a matter of importance, as the manifesto 1 disclosed the fact that the policy of the league involved the punishment of tenants for paying rent. The supporters of Mr. I Parnell had recently been trying to ex-j hibit him as a man who stood aloof from I the anti-rent plan of campaign agitators, i The fact was, however, that as far back as i lJSO Mr. Parnell had led the anti-rent movement. In a speech made in County Kerry, in 1S, he told his hearers that out of (.000 tenant farmers 400,000 were unable to pay their rents, and he added that the Land League had plenty of money to defend those who refused to pay.

Mr. Ligar also, at tiie same period, I denounced takers of evicted farms, and advocated the league's defending men who 1 were to be tried for shooting these takers or for other agrarian crimes. It was impossible to exaggerate the wickedness of the advice given by Boyton, Timothy i Harrington and Father at the Harrvclough meeting in February, 1SS1. I They had urged their hearers to the worst forms of criminal violence for the purpose of intimidatiohg the opponents of the league. At that time Sir.

Parnell and his colleagues did not conceal their sympathy with tho league emissaries in crime, nor did they take any pains to disavow the outrages which had been committed. As proof of the Parnellite party's connection with the "no rent" movement, the Attorney-General quoted from a telegram dated about the time of the anti-rent manifesto was issued. It was from Patrick Ford to Patrick Egan, and read: "Communicate with Parnell and consult your colleagues. Then issue manifesto." The reply of Egan was: "Your suggestion approved. Prompt measures are in progress to secur general rent strike." If access had been obtained to the books and papers of the Laud League, continued the Attorney -General, detailed evidence would have been procured to show the relation of the Parnellites to the criminal actions of members of the league.

The books had vanished since the league's officers were brought to Westminstei. The Times had secured two batches of documents which showed the system of communication between the head office and branches of the league, how men were supported who refused to work for boycotted persons and how others were paid for committing outrages. Continuing the review of the history of the league, the Attorney-General quoted from the letters alleged to have been written by Mr. Parnell which appeared in the Times. He said he would not now mention names, but before the case was over all the circumstances under which the Times became possessed of the letters would be explained.

The names of the persona from whom they were obtained and the sums paid for them would also be made known. He might say in the meantime that not a penny was paid or promised for the documents until they had been in the possession of the Timts for several months, and until they had bflen examined by perfectly independent persons and the handwriting tested by comparison with un doubtedly genuine specimens of Mr. Par-nell's penmanship. egan's views. Chicago, Oct 24.

Patrick Egan, of Lincoln, ex-president of the Irish National League, at the Grand Pacific yesterday was asked what he thought of th inquiry being made by the Parnell Commission. Mr. Egan said: "Nothing new has developed yet to talk about. What has been said so far is simply a rehash of charges, without proof, that have been made for the last five years. I suppose, however, that the Times, with its money, ability and resources, will be able to make a plausible showing.

But wait until the evidence for Parnell is produced, the whole Times case will be exploded and indisputable evidence developed which will show Parnell guiltless and the true character of the allegations against him. You may expect some sensational testimony." "You have private information concerning Parnell's defense?" "Yes, I know something of it. I shall myself, perhaps, be able to tell some things which have not been printed, in the event of a sub-commissioner being sent here to take the deposition of those of us in the United States." "What do you think of the personnel of the Commission?" "Sir James Hadden. the chairmrn, is a fair sort of a man, I think. Justice Smith I don't know much about, and what I know about Justice Pay is all to his disadvantage.

He is a narrow seventeenth century Catholic, Do you know that nearly all the English Catholics are Tories? Day ought to have lived in the seventeenth century. I have no doubt of the complete vindication of Parnell and his associates, and this result will greatly injure the Government. The Government is completely bound up with the Times, supplying testimony, money and countenance in every way, and the destruction of the Times' case will hurt the Conservatives very much."

This immense audience was addressed by Senator Plumb and Hon. A.

B. Jetraore of Topeka. They held tha attention cf the audience until a late hour. J. G.

Burchfield addressed a large audience from the steps of the bank near the opera house enterance. For about three hours he held this mmeiise audience spell bound by the magic of his eloquence. He is one of the few speakers that never tire an audience. Although the evening was i -i ii 'ill coed and a DrisK wina Diowmg, wo men, children and old men stood without scarcely moving hand or foot throughout the entire speech. This makes six speeches this gifted mechanic has delivered in this county withm the past week and when the ballots are counted on tha veiling of the sixth of November it will be seen.that his labors have not )oen in vain.

It is not often that the citizens of any county have the privilege of listening to five such speeches as were delivered in this city yesterday. Cur space will not permit us to give even a brief synopsis of what was said. There is not the least doubt that the truths set forth by Senator Plumb will bring back those who have been inclined to bolt or trade on election day. McPherson county, on election day, will roll up a thousand majority for those grand and noble standard bearers of the liepublican party, Harrison and Morton, as well as from three to five hundred on the entire county ticket. Yesterday was "Ee-publican day" in this county and on the sixth of November we will have another "liepublican day" that will tell to everybody that this magnificent and progressive county is for the protection of American farmers and American mechauics.

Lindsborg did nobly, they charter ed a special train for which they paid 85. Their band furnished excellent music. Lindsborg people are true American citizens and can be depended upon when the necessities of the case demand. The Glee club, composed entirely of ladies, deserve much credit for the part they took, their songs were appreciated and they were loudly cheered whenever they appeared. Taking everything into consideration the rally was a grand success and is but the forerumor of a sweeping victory November.

Our own "Kid" band rendered excellent service and did much to make the rally a success. The special from Hutchinson arrived at 7:30, and numbered fully three hundred souls. The distinguishing feature was the Republican Club of that city, numbering about two hundred and composed of as handsome and inteligent gentlemen as can be brought together anywhere; the Kinggold band, a very excellent musical organixation, and last and surely not least, the brigade armed with tin horns, which was greeted with wild huzzas from every side. Quite a number of ladies also accompanied the excursion. The entire party was boiling over with enthusiasm, and were found to be a very jolly, mannerly and in every way a respectable company, and their visit will long be remembered by McPher-son's citizens.

Our Flaubeau boys did their best as entertainers and escorted them the depot at about 11-20, and as their train polled out it seemed to be the mutual opinion that the three desirable places to be all the world were, "Hutchinson, McPherson and Heaven." The following persons came in on the excursion yesterday and day before on the Kock Island aud Santa Fe railroads: J. B. Erly, John Bowman and son, John YanTrump, James Hawkins, Dr. C. A.

Anderson and William Clemans and wife, of Ray county, Missouri. J. M. Snyder, of Grundy Center, Iowa, Daniel Miller and wife, of Lanark, Illinois, Mr. Sherely, of Cass all of whom have pui chased lots in College place addition.
