Ballyhoo Bey and Collegian left in at t2,"0 each, or $100 forfeit, making his least possible con tribution JU00 to a stake of SlO.OOa whereas the odds against his winning it must have always been vastly in excess of that proportion. He is indeed a princely supporter of the turf. Long Hammer Throw. New York. July 5. The feature of the track and field sanies of the Sixty- ninth regiment, which were held at Caltie park.

ToTi'n Is Now Wide Open For First Time in Years. FJ Dorado, July 5. Followers of Mrs. Nation attempted to raid a joint at this place. The movement was headed by Mrs. E, W. Grover, accompanied by Mrs. li. F. Adams, and four others. Ex cept smashing a few window lights and arguing with the jointists for awhile nothing was done. They walked into the back door and asked of the man in charge. At And rews, whether or not he had a govern ment license. Without waiting for a reply they tired some bricks through the front windows and then departed, their nerve seeming to fail. No liquor was destroyed. About 11 o'clock, an hour after the first attempted smashing on North Main, Tom Porter, the expressman was delivering a wagon load of beer in an alley when he was handed a tip that the smashers were coming. They were nearly to him when he discovered them coming on a run and the way he hiked his wagon out of the alley and down Main street very much resembled the gait of a patrol wagon. They didn't catch Porter and the beer was left tin destroyed. He was busy and didn't waste any time to see whether they were armed with hatchets or how many were in the crowd. He simply saw they were women, on a run and in his direction. It is said by people who claim to know that jointists are paying $1 on each case of beer for the privilege of selling. So far there has been none of it to reach the city treasury. With the results of the city election everybody realized that so far as the administra tion Was concerned El Dorado was a "wide open" town, and so it is. It took some time for the jointists to get in motion here, they have had an ex tremely hard row to hoe for several years, but they are deep in business now. The W. C. T. IT. and kindred or ganizations realizing that the adminis tration of law is in what they consider anti-temperance hands believe that they must use Nation tactics to awak en the town to the moral situation and thus have a, show to limit the sale of in toxicants. EIRE AT ATCHISON. Several Residences Destroyed, and Furniture Lost. Atchison. July 5. A fire sunnnsed to have been started by firecrackers, des troyed the homes of Paul Elson. Wil liam Holbert, John Davis, T. L. Evans, S. L. Shiffiet and Walter Ash, in North west Atchison last evening. The fire started in the roof of the Shiftlet house and owing to the dry weather and a high wind the flames spread to five other houses before the fire department arrived. No effort was made to save the buildings on fire and the firemen confined their attention to other buildings in the neighborhood, saving them with slight damage. The houses burned so ouicklv that little furniture was saved. The loss is esti mated at $10,000. insurance less than $5,000. Other casualties. Will Cook, colored, perhaps fatally injured by the explosion of a toy cannon. Finey Norris, shot in the hand with a revolver. CURTIS AT COFFEYVLLLE. Indiana Give a War Dance to Please the Crowd. Coffeyville, July 5. Coffeyville cele brated in good old-fashioned Fourth of July style. The patriotism and spirit of b permeated everything here. The city was a sea of bunting; business houses and private dwellings vied with each other in decorations. Representative Curtis delivered the oration, which was replete with patri otic fervor. Senator Burton was pres ent, Dut Deing indisposed could not speak. One of the features of the occasion was a genuine war dance participated n Dy ruteen braves. A line electric display was had on the plaea. The fire works display was immense and the finest ever had in southern Kansas. II'NEAL AT HOLTON. Topeka Orator Assists in Dedicating Walker's Park. Holton, July E. "Walker's park was dedicated by a celebration which eclipsed anything of the kind held in this city for years. Fully seven thou sand people were in the town. The parade at ten o'clock was headed by Horton's Rock Island band, and in cluded a display of floats and com petitive drills by local lodtre teams. The Modern Woodmen, Workmen, Mac cabees and Red Cross. T. A. McNeal of Topeka made an elo quent patriotic address. The night was given up to a band concert on the lake and a display of fireworks on the island griven by the Holton Flambeau club. Most of the people spent the evening- in the park. FRUIT GROWING PROFITABLE. Half of One Day's Cherry Picking Worth $150. From the Abilene Reflector. This is rapidly becoming- a fruit coun try. The farmers of central Kansas have for years been setting out fruit trees sometimes with quick loss and again with results that have in the end TKEYTASTE VERY s r-WCHLI! r" CIARS 1!,. 7 1 t "s' shown their wisdomv C. W. Taylor, living twelve miles southeast of this city, has a fruit orchard on his farm that is a sample of what can be done. He has had this year a splendid crop of cherries. On several days during- the past week-the road has been lined for half a mile with buggies in which came women and girls to pick on shares. On one day Mr. Taylor's share of the cher ries gathered, he getting one half, amounted to J 150, and on other days to nearly as much. One woman, Mrs. A. E. Simmers of Buckeye, received last week from J. E. Brewer a check for SsS.37, the pro ceeds from one-sixth acre of straw berries raised on her farm a few miles north of this place. THE FOURTH AT OTTAWA Towne, Landis, Deford and Allen En tertertain With Oratory. Ottawa, July 5. Thursday was the banner day of the Ottawa Chautauqua assembly, for this session, as far as crowds are concerned. Each incoming train brought many visitors, and the farmers patronized the assembly better than ever before, despite the fact that there were several celebrations over the county. i Congressman Landis and Senator Towne arrived at noon from Kansas City, and were met by a committee of prominent citizens. Congressman Lan dis was to speak at 11 o'clock, but oould not arrive, and both speakers were giv en a chance in the afternoon. The tab ernacle was filled to its utmost capac ity. No firecrackers or other explosives were allowed near the tabernacle, and the speakers were given a fair show. At 11 o'clock W. A. Deford and H. J. Allen addressed the crowd. The First Regiment band furnished music throughout the day, and the Boys' club gave some exhibition foot races. A company of cadets under the leadership of the veteran captain, K. Boitwood, gave a sham battle and exhibition drill in the forenoon. This evening a short chorus concert was given and the fireworks followed. The display was fine and was enjoyed by thousands of people. The assembly closes tonight. HAY $16 PER TON. Prairie Grass Sold For That at Fort Scott. Fort Scott, July 5. Old timers say it has been more than a quarter of a cen tury since prairie hay was worth as much in Fort Scott as it is now. Yes terday it feold for $15 per ton on Mar ket Square. The price that usually prevails at this time of the year is from to $4 per ton. Dealers predicted that if there was any on the market today it would sell for $20. but a poor quality was offered today for $16 per ton. The $15 hay was baled hay, and it was sold at retail at that price. Loose hay or even baled hay by the ton ought to sell cheaper. FIRE AT ABILENE. Freight Engine Starts a $50,000 Mill Conflagration. Abilene, July 5. The city mills were burned to the ground Thursday about 4:30 o'clock. The fire started from a spark from a Union Pacific freight en gine that was switching near the mills. The flames spread rapidly and the brisk south wind soon had them beyond con trol of the firemen. During the day the city water supply had been taxed to its utmost, and at the time of the fire there was little or no pressure. Beside the mill, three sta bles were burned to the ground. The milling plant was valued at $25, 000 and was insured for $15,000. Ten car loads of flour, valued at about $5,000, and 25,000 bushels of wheat were also burned. The total loss by fire at the mills is estimated at from $15,000 to $50,000. Gift For a College. Manhattan, July 5 The Kansas State Agricultural college has just received from George Groenmiller Son, Co burn, Kan., a pure bred Red Polled bull. This bull is a remarkably good animal and comes from the best families of Red Polls In the United States. His sire weighs 2,100 pounds and is the winner of many prizes. His grandsire was the greatest Red Polled show bull of his day. The dam of the college bull is a heavy milker and has never been beaten in the show ring. Sullivan Speaks at Osawatomia. Osawatomle, July 5. Five thousand people celebrated here Thursday. Ex ercises opened at the John Brown mon ument. John Sullivan, of Kansas City, Mo., delivered the .oration of the day, his delineation of the character of John Brown being a very strong one. In the afternoon the Modern Woodmen camps were addressed at the park by C. A. Enright, of Kansas City, Kan. Five Horses Burned. Caldwell, July 5. As a result of firing firecrackers the dray barn of Charles Goodwill was burned at about 3 p. oa. Thursday. There were a numberr of horses and wagons in the barn at the time, all of which were removed except five head of horses and three or four wagons. The barn and all other sup plies were entirely consumed. OMAHA HULL TIGHT Was Pulled Off as Scheduled, and Was a Lively Affair. Omaha, Neb., July 5. The first of the Series of three bull fights scheduled to be pulled off at South Omaha during the street fair carnival In that city, oc curred at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon and was a lively affray. The second, which was to have been called at 6:30, was postponed on account of rain. After an exhibition of roping and rough riding by a company of cowboys, the main event of the exhibition was announced. Four natty dressed Mexican toreadors entered the ring, marched around the arena to the strains of a Mexican air, and the leader then gave a Bignal for the admittnee of the bull. The gate was flung open and the ani mal, a medium sized Shorthorn, previ ously trained and rehearsed for the oc casion, came bounding through the opening. He was instantly attracted by the red sash and bright uniform of a toreador opposite the entrance and charged him fiercely. Writh an agile side jump the toreador avoided the ani mal and he made a rush for another man. but the latter with lightning quickness succeeded in getting out of harm's way. The third charge of the bull was more successful and came near ending in a serious way. The angered Shorthorn knocked the tore ador down and was almost in the act of goring him when the others came to the rescue and none too soon. The appearance of the other men directly in front of the bull attracted his at tention from the fallen man, and he made a rush for the other three, who escaped easily.

A Joint Session of the Forte Itican Legislature Declares the Island's Internal Kerenue Sufficient. NOTIFIES M'KINLEY. Says Time Has Come For Dis charging "Our Flain Duty." They W ant the Tariff Declared 0ffJu!y2u. San Juan, P. R., July 6. In a joint session lasting three hours the Porto Rican assembly unanimously passed the free trade resolution. The assembly hall was crowded with people, and cheers greeted the announcement that Governor Allen had signed the resolu tion. The free trade resolution begins with a preamble in which reference is made to section 3 of the Foraker law. The resolution then continues: "The Porto Rican assembly, in extra session, and acting pursuant to the in structions of congress, does hereby no tify the president of the United States that by virtue of the Hollander act and other acts it has enacted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of insular govern ment, and it hereby declares that a copy of this joint resolution be pre sented to the president of the United States, and it requests that Governor Allen deliver the resolution in question to President MtKinley to the end that the proclamation be made by him; and if it shall seem wise and proper to the president of the United States, the as sembly requests that his proclamation be issued July 25. as that day is being established a legal Porto Rican holiday to commemorate the anniversary of the coming of the American flag." Governor Allen personally read a message before, the assembly, in which he exhaustively reviewed the financial situation of the island, and showed that Porto Rico possessed abundant revenues for its needs without drawing upon customs receipts. Mr. Holland er's report on the island's resources from which revenue could be derived was considered sufficiently definite to warrant the joint resolution in favor of free trade. The resolution was introduced in the house by Senor Morales. Mr. Hollander in a long speech reviewed the workings of the new tax law and explained the new system of taxation. He said: "Present conditions make this joint resolution possible, and the insular as sembly can henceforth dispense with the revenues accruing from Porto Rican customs." Several other lengthy speeches were made. The resolution was passed, and was signed by Governor Allen. MONEYBAGS RETURN. The Deutschland Arrives With Its Cargo of Millionaires. New York, July 5. Pierre Lorillard, who was a passenger on board the steamer Deutschland, arriving here from Hamburg, Southampton and Cher bourg, was very ill with nephritis throughout the passage. His friends fear that he may not recover. Other of the Deutschland's passengers were J. Pierpont Morgan, W. C. Wrhit ney, Jr., W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mrs. Vanderbilt of New York, and P. A B. Widener, W. L. Elkins and Clem ent Griscom of Philadelphia; Chekib Bey, Turkish minister to Washington; Raphael Josephy, the musician, and Dr. James H. Wormann, United States consul at Munich, Bavaria. A big fleet of private yachts and a number of tugs went down the bay to meet her at quarantine, but few of them got alongside. There was some delay about docking the ship, as the Furst Bismarck, off for Kurope with a big line of passengers, was slow about leaving the berth. A tremendous crowd await ed the ship and her passengers aboard and it took double lines of police and customs officers supported by dock laborers to keep the crowd back. J. Pierpont Morgan was not disposed to discuss any of the great industrial deals which he is planning and financ ing. "I never talk about my business deals until they are completed." he said, "and then I say very little. I can't tell you anything about the threatened strike of steel workers. The principal events concerning it occurred while I was at sea and I am not a mind reader. 1 have to enquire about things Just as anyone else. I cannot tell you anything about the Northern Pacific or the railroad situation. The fact is I don't know what the situation is. You see I have been away. I cannot say anything about the Leyland line. I am going home today but will be at" my office to morrow." A little later Mr. Morgan left on the Corsair for his summer home at High land Falls. P. A. B.. Widener and W. L. Elkins were met by a big party of friends and were hurried away to a special train that carried them over the Pennsyl vania line to Philadelphia. Mr. Widener is not worried by the granting of street railway franchises to his rivals in Philadelphia. "I understand that the franchises have been given," lie said with a smile, "but the Philadelphia Traction com pany will come out on top." Mr. Griscom of the American line took occasion before leaving the pier to deny the rumor that he had taken passage on the Deutschland to discuss business with Mr. Morgan. "It is not true that I went abroad for the purpose of seeing Mr. Morgan about the amalgamation of the Red Star and Leyland lines," said he. "1 went abroad solely to attend the Chamber of Com merce banquet in London and to trans act some business for my company I was in a hurry to get back, so gladly accepted the invitation of the captain of the Deutschland to occupy his state room. "During the trip I did not have more than five minutes' conversation daily with Mr. Morgan and then we did not talk about business." Mr. Wm. Goat "I had a very narrow escape from death today, my dear. I ate one of those lawnmower signs, and in process of digestion it cut me sev eral times." Nanny Goat "Gracious! William, you always were careless and impru dent in eating. What did you do for it?" Mr. Wm. Goat "Just swallowed a Pond's Extract sign.

SOLDIERS PASS THROUGH. Three Trains of Discharged Soldiers Go East to Their Homes. Three trains of soldiers, discharged from service in the Philippines, parts of the Thirty-eighth, Forty-second, Forty fourth, Forty-seventh and Forty eighth infantry regiments, passed through Topeka over the Santa Fe late Thursday afternoon and the same evening. The men were feeling happy at the prospect of getting back home after two years out in the Philippines. Those regiments were recruited from all over the country, and of course the men represented nearly every state in the union. Expressions from the sol diers indicated that conditions in the islands were good, and that though there might be small insurrections for some time the backbone of the revolt had been broken. "This is Filipino weather," remarked one of the soldiers yesterday afternoon while the train was waiting at the Santa Fe depot. "It gets very hot there; we didn't do any soldiering between the hours of 11 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Drills and the like are held early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and marches are made by night." Although all of those regiments saw active serv ice, and the number of engagements and skirmishes was perhaps as great as seventy-five, the mortality does not seem to have been unusually great, and the men who passed through Topeka Thursday were in good shape phys ically. The Forty-seventh nnd Forty eighth regiments were colored. FELL 1,000 FEET. Aeronaut Drops Into Muskegon Lake and la Killed. Muskegon, Mich., July 5.

PREPARING F0RVVAIl. A Missionary Makes Charge Against the Dowager Empress. Berlin, July 5. A special dispatch from China says that according to ad vices received at Mission headquarters many missionaries have returned to the interior of Shan Tung province, where they were well received by the Chinese. The indemnities for missions destroyed and Chinese Christians killed have nearly all been regulated and paid, but the missionaries from every locality report their belief that the present calm will not last. A missionary from Shensl province reports that following the di rections of the dowager empress in Sianfu, great preparations for war are being made. The German foreign office says that all official reports received here from China seem to show that no new prepar ations are being made for further up risings in that country and that upon investigation the various alarming re ports of approaching trouble in China were found to be unwarranted.

Probably the beginning of the cele bration so long before the Fourth wa3 lor the purpose of doing proper honor to the anniversary of Schley's famous victory at Santiago, with Sampson nine miles away. At the close of 1SS9 the annual Inter est charge of the government was a little over $-40,000,000; now it is a little less than $30,000,000. which is largely due to the refunding into 2 per cent bonds. The debt has been reduced $61,000,000 in two years. It is being mentioned in connection with references to the career of John anamaker that he never yet has won a political fight. This will be regarded in the light of a complaint by some, -whether or not so intended. Hereafter the Filipino will have dou ble cause to oelebrate the Fourth of July, It will hie the anniversary of the establishment of civil government in the Archipelago as well as of the de claration of American Independence In the benefits of which he will have a share. Gen. Grosvenor devoted much of his speech at the Winfield Chautauqua yes terday to a discussion of the trusts. "Yet Col. Hanna of the general's own state, no longer ago than last year de clared that there were no trusts. But of course, some allowance must be made for the heat of political discus sion. The Chicago-Tribune, which keeps a record of disasters, shows that on the Fourth of July. 1900, 72 persons were killed and! 2.791 injured by different kinds of noise-producing devices, while the loss by fires caused by such explo sives was $546,S3a.

GAGE'S MISTAKE. Importers in Russia Seem to Think That He Hissed It. St. Petersburg, July 5. When Secre tary Gage's action in imposing counter vailing duties on Russian sugar ex ported to the United States was fol lowed by so disproportionate a reprisal as the imposition of 30 per cent, in creased duties on the most important American importations here, the im porters uf American tools and ma chinery seemed stunned. They were disposed to support Kussia on the legal aspects, but some of them re-examined the matter and concluded that the Rus sian sugar regulations amount to prac tical compulsion to manufacture for export. They still doubt the expediency of Secretary Gage's action, but latterly they have concluded that while the policy was mistaken, of which, after all. Washington knowing the complete facts for fostering American interests through the world was the best Judge, it does not follow that a backdown is now expedient. They claim that such a precedent would weaken American commercial and political prestige. It is of course inconvenient for importers whose incomes depend on Russian trade, but it is realized that the Rus sian market compares unfavorably with others, and that it always will. The actual effects of the discriminat ing duties have not been as disastrous as expected. The decrease in Asiatic imports is chietly due to the abolition of the open port at Vladivostok. Attention is directed to the increas ing disinclination of the Russian au thorities to permit the importation of goods which the Russians can pro duce, no matter what they cost. This policy, more than the tariff rates, ob structs foreign trade. It is recalled that the government recently narrowly restricted the use of foreign goods in the Russian army and navy factories, and that the same policy is pursued whenever the government influence ex tends. Inasmuch as tnis influence is limited merely by will a somewhat pes simistic view of the future of foreign trade is held here. Lawyers represent ing the largest financial interests in America who were recently here of fered $40,000,000 to build the Viatka rail road, provided a certain proportion of American materials would te used. The categorical reply from the finance ministery was that not one pound of such material could be used. The syn dicate then refused to accept the con cession, as it did not want bond invest ments, but was chiefly desirous of se curing another outlet for American goods. The correspondent of the Associated Press was informed in this connection that under the present circumstance the use of foreign material is impos sible. The same syndicate declined ex tensive fishing privileges m eastern Siberia because Russian engineers were required and the Russians retained full control of the enterprise. A resident representative of an Amer ican house whose business has been al most annihilated by the prohibitions, recently signed a letter to a newspaper, declaring that Russia was wrong on the sugar question. The correspondent ol tne Associatea Press talked with the representative of an American house whose tremendous business is suffering to an unusual de gree from the discriminating duties and also from the prohibitions. He said: "Undoubtedly the Russian sugar reg ulations contain a cunningly devised bounty. The cardinal point is that a company capable of producing over 60. 000 poods annually must sell part of the excess, whether the enthusiasm or a million poods abroad since the share of each company in the domestic market excepting the 60,000 poods allowed each concern Is prorated according to the to tal of the previous year s production and exported sugar is not taxed. Pro ducers therefore calculated the point where the losses on foreign over bal ance the profits on protected and regu lated domestic sales. M. De"Witte, the finance minister, shrewdly pitted steel against sugar. He is quoted as repeat- ng the charge that Secretary Gage Is taking an interest in the American su gar and oil trusts. This is somewhat unguarded on his part, considering the close relations between the Russian su gar and steel interest and the govern ment. He apparently displayed more feeling that the intrisic value of the sugar trade with the United States ne cessitated. Perhaps this is due par tially to the fact that the imperial family and other influential people are largely interested in the sugar industry. Whether Mr. Gage acted advisedly in the first instance Is one question. Whether truckling is now a politic ex pedient is another question. The Uni ted States must meet Russia half way. But if Russia desires a commercial war we should fight. Russia does not intend to allow the United States, Germany or anybody to have permanently a profit able trade here. Russia wants foreign money, not foreign goods. Whether Russia is trying to bluff or bully the Americans who support M. DeWitte against Mr. Gage are playing her game. It is declared here that Russia will nev er allow Washington to construe her sugar laws but neither can the United States recognize the Russian Interpre tation of our tariff." It is known here that the United States ambassador, C. Tower, who has tened back to St. Petersburg from his leave of absence, has been during the last few days in personal communica tion with the minister of foreign af fairs, Count Lamsdorff and M. DeWitte upon the subject of the present tariff disagreement and it can be said in tne best authority that the negotiations are being carried on in the most friendly manner and that the Russian authori ties hope for and expect a speedy and amicable adjustment of the questions in dispute.

No one could un derstand Barney Dreyfus' reason for signing Lefty Davis after that young man had made a failure with Brooklyn. Barney explains is thus: "Perhaps you will remember, said he, "that when the Brooklyn players were howling because Davis misjudged a fly in an important game of the re cent series in this city, I made the re mark that Davis was a good man. I heard then that the real explanation of his mysterious reversal of form was lack of condition. I was told, however, that there was nothing serious the matter with him, and that away from the team in which he made the bad start he should do better. At the same time. Deacon Phillippi, who played with Davis out in Minneapolis, urged Fred Clarke to keep his eye upon the boy and to give hirn a trial if he got a chance to do so. When Davis was re leased we were hunting for a sub in fielder, but could not find a man to our liking. Clarke then suggested signing Davis as an extra outfielder, and said that we could use Wagner in the in field in the event of an accident to one of the members of the quartette. This suggestion pleased me, and I told him that instead of going over to Boston with the team I would remain in Brooklyn and get the player. This was done, and Davis Is with the team." STREETS SUBMERGED. Keary Fall of Rain in Delaware County, Ohio. Delaware, O., July 5. Delaware county was visited by an exceedingly heavy storm Inst evening, the full ex tent of which is not yet known. Wires are down in all directions, and many bridges are gone. Olentangy river rose 12 feet in four hours. At Ashley water covered the streets to the depth of six inches. Fields are under water and damage to crops will be very heavy. Henderson Main's barn was struck by lightning just after the family drove in.and all were severely shocked. Mrs. Bolivar Hayes, of Ostrander, was ren dered unconscious by a thunderbolt. The Delaware waterworks plant north of town is surrounded by water, and 36 inches more will cut off the city's water supply. Many houses and barns were stuck by lightning and greatly damaged. COMISKEY IN LUCK. Only One Serious Accident This Tear Callahan's Broken Arm. "There is a notable absence of in juries to regular players in the Ameri can league this year. No reliable data are at hand, but it would be a good guess that President Johnson has sus pended more players for kicking than have been laid off with injuries." says a Chicago critic. "There is a big dif ference in the White Stockings of this year and last in the matter of injuries. Last season it was one continual string of accidents all season long, and Com iskey was never without a hospital list and seldom played the same team in the field a week in succession. This year the only serious accident has been Callahan's broken arm, which has now mended oerfectlv. it would seem, from his showing in the few games he has pitched. That accident was not an un mixed hardship, as It was the cause of discovering a new second baseman in Sandow Mertes, who but for that would probably now be filling an outfield po sition, and McFarland. one of the lead ing batters of the team, would per haps have drawn his release early in the spring, or at least would have been transferred to another team In the league. "Players in the National league con tinue to get hurt and stay idle with old time regularity. It may be that the attitude of the players toward their employers in the two leagues has some thing to do with the difference. The American league players appear at least to take an interest in their work, and the success of their team greater than that usually displayed in the old league, and this is as true of the for mer National ieage players as of those who owed allegiance to the American before- mm pimu OF EXACT TRUTH. V7 o22 ami, r:E RFOM THE SIXTH DISTRICT Most of the Sixth district Republican journals don't take any stock in the report that the Fifth district is solid for the Sixth district to get secretary of state and lieutenant governor. Uneasiness lurks in the offices of sev eral postmasters in the Sixth district. They should be for Reeder for congress, but It is claimed several of them have been throwing cold water on his third term aspirations. E. W. Wellington, of Ellsworth, is carrying a small advertisement of "land for sale" in many of the Sixth district papers. Some of the opposition have said he is doing this for the pur pose of making votes in hia candidacy for congress. Dan Dyer, of Smith county, is still after a Territorial land office. He has had enough letters of endorsement written for him for offices he has as pired for to fill several wagon boxes. Including postmaster of Smith Center, deputy warden, sergeant-at-arrns, etc. Since the visit of A. G. Mead to To peka late last week there has been open talk that he will be a cand'date for congress in the Sixth, district. Mead is a Beloit man, and Mitchell county's member of the legislature. He made a splendid record last winter, and if he asks for the delegation from his county it will be given him. While many of the Sixth district poli ticians and newspaper fellows are mak ing congressman and state ticket nom inations, S. H. Dodge, of the Beloit Gazette, is laying low and says nothing, which is almost a certain Indication that he knows "where he is at," and that he will land as good a place as anybody. An Osborne county politician says: "If my county has an earnest congres sional candidate he will have the sup port of the county, but if he wants it to trade on he can't have it." It is claimed that one of the prospective congressional candidates in Mitchell county is working for a delegation he can throw to some other fellow if he fails to land the nomination. It is now certain that Phillips county will have only one Republican candi date for judge of the Seventeenth dis trict. A few weeks ago it was gener ally believed that C. A. Lewis, of Phil lipsburg. would be a candidate for dis trict judge, but he states positively that he will not, and that he will earntstly support W. H. Pratt, of his town and county, for the office. It has been widely circulated that the Sixth district is the only part of the State where there is any politics going on. One will h?ar of this outside of the district, but not inside of its con fines. The district has only one can didate for the state ticket, and that is Dave Hanna for lieutenant governor. Neither Burrow nor Perdue have yet signified a willingness to become a candidate for secretary of state. Among the Sixth district fellows who were Topeka visitors Last week was Chan Perdue, postmaster of Beloit. who was here in the interests of Congress man Reeder, and to help check, if pos sible, the growing anti-Keeder strength. He also learned while here that he could win out easily for secretary of state. Perdue is so popular that he seldom asks for anything; it is the fellows who come running to him to see whether he will accept any of the good things. The only man the Sixth district boys seem perfectly harmonized on is M. A Low for the next United States sen ator. There has seldom if ever been a delegation of statesmen from that dis trict on a visit to Topeka who didn't call on Mr. Low and inform him "I'm for you" for the United States senate. The"entire district seens to be perfectly well acouainted with him. and notwith standing his mass of law business al ways on hand, he takes time to become better acquainted with his callers. Ex-Congressman McCormick, of Phil lips county, having quit politics, is making money in the practice of law, and may be the nominee for judge of the Seventeenth judicial district by the Democrats and Populists. Ex-Congressman Baker is at home in his pa latial house in Lincoln, and watching his cattle make money. Wanted-to-be congressmen Scott, Dykes, Freeman and McNall are also doing well in their various avocations, law, physician and surgeon, landlord and wheat raiser, re spectively.
