Got His Hi mn County by a Ma jority of 800. 21ILLEU IS VICTORIOUS Nominated for Congress in the Fourth District. Calderiiead Was Renominated in the Fifth. The result of the Republican state primary on Tuesday was as follows: Governor W. R. Stubbs defeated Cy rus Leland. United States Senator J. L. Bristow beat Chester I. Long. Justice Supreme Court J.. S. West vai defeated. Attorney General F. S. Jackson beat A. F. Williams. State Printer In doubt, probably T. A. McNeal. Congressman, Fourth District J. M. Miller beat Geo. E. Tucker. Congressman. Fifth District W. A. Calderhead probably beat R. R. Rees. Congressman. Sixth district W. A. Reeder probably beat W. B. Ham. At noon today, J. L. Bristow at Sa llna stated to the State Journal office over the long distance telephone that Indications are that he will have close to 110 out of 165 Republican members of the legislature for him for United States senator. W. R. Stnbbs of Lawrence, the square deal candidate, has been nomi nated by the Republicans of Kansas as their parly candidate for governor. He has a large majority, and his nomination Is conceded by the friends of Cyrus Leland. J. N. Dolley, manager for W. R. Stubbs. says that returns received from over 50 counties show that Leland has carried only three or four out of that number. Leland's hardest Jolt was in Wyandotte county, where the vote was only 8,000 out of a possible 18.000 and w here Leland's majority was a few, hundred where be had expected over 3,000. Concede Long's Defeat. Shortly after noon today, the nomi nation of J. L. Bristow as the Repub lican candidate for United States sen ator was conceded at Senator Long's headquarters. Friends of Long who telephoned in and wanted to know "the whole truth" Aere told that Long was defeated. One of the men who has been active in managing Long's cam paign said: "We are licked: I can't find any way to figure this thing to win, and since we are caught in the drift. It is likely to get worse rather than better. Of course there is a chance that we might pick up enough representatives to pull through, but I wouldn't give a 25 cent piece with a hole in It for our chances. "This defeat of Long is due to Dem ocratic votes. It is a return of the wave of Populism. Radicalism Is tri umphant in Kansas. I fear for the success of the national ticket in this state. It Is likely that Taft will be dragged with the rest, and Bryan win the state. "The various congressional fights al so hurt Long. In spite of ourselves we were tangled up In these fights, and while we gave our support to the con gressional candidates, the postmasters and others were so anxious for the suc cess of their congressmen that they forgot to return the favor. See how Miller carried almost every county in the Fourth district, and Long didn't get a thing. I fear the same thing is true in tne sixth district. Realizing this condition, I anticipate that the la ter returns will hurt rather than help us. We knew this condition was de veloping some days ago, but could do little to stop it." Alhatish Given Up. At 2:30 this afternoon. Morton Al abugh. manager of Senator Long's campaign dictated the following state ment: "Indications are from the counties heard from that Mr. Bristow will have a majority of from 10 to 18 of the members of the legislature instructed for him. We have stopped receiving returns, and will close the headquar ters." The telegram which put the final crimp" in the Long hopes was one from John Thomas, at Colby, which announced that Cheyenne. Rawlins, Wallace and Logsn counties had gone for Bristow. and that Sheridan and Thomas counties were close. "That fixes us good and plenty," re marked Mr. Albaugh ns he read the message. "We expected to get three of those four districts." Karller Fijrures. At noon today the people at Sena tor Long's headquarters took stock of their condition, and the following was the result: Districts reported positively for Long 39 Districts probably for Long 22 Senatorial districts counted for Long 16 Total possible vote ror Long... 77 This Is five votes shy of enough to nominate, and the Long people are not only unable to find a place where to get those five votes, but they are likely to lose some of the 22 districts wnitn arc counted proDamy ror Long. The Long people concede 43 dis tricts are to Bristow. The districts conceded are the following: Butler, 2; Chase. 1; Clay. 1; Coffev. 1: Cowley, I; Doniphan, 1: Douglas, t: Finney, 1; Franklin, 2; Harvey. 1; Jackson, 1; Jefferson, 1; Jewell. 1 Johnson. 1: Kiowa. 1; Lane, 1; Lln eoln, 1; Lyon, 2; Marion, 1; McPher on. 1: Osage, 2; Osborne, 1; Ottawa, U Reno. Is Rice. 1; Saline, 1; Scott, 1; W. R. Stubbs. Nominated fop Governor at the Republican Primary. Sedgwick, 3; Shawnee, 3; Sherman, 1; Sumner, 2; Woodson, 1. Total. 43. In addition the Long people con ceded that Bristow will control the vote of 24 Republican nominees for the state senate, giving Bristow 67 sure votes. It is necessary to have 83 votes to become a party nominee. Long will get the following represen tative districts sure, according to fig ures made at his headquarters: Allen 1, Anderson 1. Atchison 2. Bar ber 1. Barton 1. Bourbon 2, Clark 1. Cherokee 2. Comanche 1, Ellis 1. Ford 1 Geary 1, Graham 1, Hamilton 1. Jef ferson 1, Kingman 1, Labette 2, Leav enworth 3, Marshall 2, Miami 1, Ne osho 1, Pawnee 1. Philips 1, Pratt 1. Reno 1, Smith 1. Washington 1, Wilson 1, Wyandotte 3. Total 39. In addition Long claims 16 senator, making his total sure vote 55. From these figures there are 43 dis tricts still in doubt, and of three the Long people think they are reasonably sure of getting 22, or five less than enough to nominate. Bristow. on the other hand, claims that he will get nearly all of the 43 which are in doubt, and will have a total ovte of over 100. Where Long Was Disappointed. The places where Long counted on getting votes and failed were the- fol lowing counties: Brown 2, Butler 1, Dickinson 1, Doniphan 1, Finney 1, Johnson 1, Lane 1. Meade 1. Osage 1. Pottawatomie 1, Shawnee 1. Sumner 1. These counties therefore are re sponsible for a "leakage" of 13 votes which Long had counted on as sure. Had these counties gone as Long ex pected. Long would have won. In a few counties Long will gain votes that he did not expect, but they will not offset his losses. He gained one in Barton and one in Graham this morning. Neither Barton or Graham had been counted as Long counties. From Bristow Headquarters. The following dispatch from Brls tow's headquarters in Sallna was re ceived by the State Journal: "J. L. Bristow was supremely con fident this morning that he had won the fight for United States senator by a wide margin. He gave out a state ment to the effect that he had carried .the following counties: Russell, Ells worth, Clay, Dickinson, McPherson. Harvey, Sedgwick, Woodson, Osage, Linn, Shawnee, Jefferson, Wabaunsee, Ottawa, Saline, Greenwood, Montgom ery Cherokee, Finney, Gray, Stafford, Harper, Sumner, Cowley. "He claims every district in the Fourth and Eighth congressional dis tricts, a majority in the Seventh and Second districts, not less than twenty districts in the Sixth, all but Washing ton and Marshall counties in the Fifth, and a number of districts in the First and Third. "Saline county gave Mr. Bristow a majority of about 800. This county gave a 450 majority for Rees. It is believed that Calderhead has carried the Fifth district in the congressional fight by a small majority over Rees. "Mr. Bristow added that he had ln formatin that led his to believe that he had carried over 100 legisla tive districts in the state." Democrats Are in the Dark. There is very little known about the result of the Democratic race for gov ernor. From all parts of the state the report comes in that the Democratic vote was very light. In some counties all the Democratic votes could be put in a hat. The reports indicate that J. D. Bot kin has beaten W. H. Ryan and Rus sell Harrison for governor, but there is nothing definite about these figures. The Democrats did not receive any returns in Topeka, and the result of their contest will probably not be known until the official canvass of the vote is made. RF.ES IS DISAPPOINTED. At Noon the Returns Indicated His Defeat. R.. R. Rees. candidate for congress In the Fifth district, said: "I have not received compiete re turns but the vote in the west end of the district has been so lignt tnat I am apprehensive that Calderhead's vote in the eastern counties will be enough to elect him. I have carried Ottawa county by 450. Saline by 475 and am leading Calderhead In Riley, Republic and Dickinson so rar as 1 have heard." SARBACH BEATEN FOR SENATOR. John B. Myers Wins In tne Jaekson Atehison District. J. F". Jarrell. editor of the Signal, at Holton. Jackson county. said this morning over the long distance tele phone: "All of 19 out of 22 precincts In Jackson county give Stubbs 970, Le land 714. Bristow 997, Long 650. J. S. Hopkins is nominated for the legis lature. John B. Myers ts nominated for state senator over Albert Sarbach. X "Vo X Sarbach carried Jackson county by 63 and Myers carried Atchison by 165. "There was a hot fight for district judge. Fred Woodburn of Jackson was defeated by Oscar Raines of Jef ferson by 150. Marshall Gephart was nominated for judge by the Demo crats." IX DOUBT. SAYS BREWER, Smith Carried Dickinson Calderhead Clay and Geary. Abilene, Kan., Aug. 5. Senator J. E. Brewer, manager for S. S. Smith in the latter's campaign for congress in the Fifth district, said at 9 o'clock this morning that Bristow and Stubbs had carried Dickinson county by small ma jorities. In the congressional fight Smith had carried Dickinson county by a large majority, while Calderhead had carried Clay county by about 100 majority and Geary county by a ma jority of 150. Senator Brewer would not give an opinion on the result of the congressional contest. MAY CHANGE THE RESULT. Rees Carried Republic County for Congressj by Big Majority. "A 'dispatch from" BenevTlIe, 'Repub lic county, to the State Journal says: "Stubbs carried Republic county by 200, Bristow by 250. Rees for con gress gets the county by 950. John R. Bowersox is elected to the legisla ture by a big majority. "W. W. Caldwell of Cloud county is probably renominated for the state senate by 30 majority over J. M. Doyle." CLOSE. SAYS MORGAN.' Many Close Counties on Senator, Says Hutchinson Man. Hutchinson, Kan., Aug. 5. W. T. Morgan said this morning: "I have received only a few returns on senator and the indications are that the sena torial contest is close in the western section of the state. "In Reno county Long has one rep resentative and Bristow one. Stubbs carried the county by 300. Long has carried the following counties: Ford, Barber, Harper, Kingman, Fratt and Clark. Rice and Scott went for Bris tow and Barton, Stafford, Rice and Harvey are close. "It will take the complete returns to decide." Geary County. A report from Geary county this morning states that Leland and Long have carried that county by 25 votes. At the present time all precincts re ported give the opposing candidates about a stand off. but with four pre cincts to hear from, it is claimed that Leland and Long will have the coun ty by 25 votes. Calderhead will carry the. county by 200. Ryan will carry the county for governor on the Democratic ticket. The vote was very light. Dickinson County. Dickinson county has gone for Bris tow and Stubbs by good sized ma jorities. The county gave S. S. Smith of Abilene 400 majority for congress. Stubs Wins In Gove. Grainfield, Aug. 5. Stubbs carries Gove county by 42. Bristow by 62, Reeder for congress by 35. Jones for state senator has ten majority in the county over Wells. Ford county is reported for Stubbs by about 50 majority. (Continued on Page Eight.) LONG IS NAMED. Member of Senate Committee to At tend Allison jFnneraL Washington, Aug. 5. Vice President Fairbanks has designated the follow ing senators as members of the con gressional committee to attend the funeral of the late Senator Allison, which he has been notified will take place at Dubuque next Saturday after noon: Messrs. Doliver, Frye. Cullom. Teller, Gallinger, Elkins. Nelson, Bacon, For aker, Penrose, Beveridge. Culberson. Keane. McCumber. Gamble. Simmons, Heyburn, Long. Burkett. Carter. La Follette, Rayner. Warner. Smith (Mich Brown. Johnson and Paynter. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. 5. Forecast for Kansas: Generally fair tonight and Thursday. Reeder Has a Majority. Logan, Kan.. Aug. 5. Returns, slowly coming in, show a very light vote and all counties so far heard from give Congressman Reeder a ma jority. O'Neil Wins the Nomination for Commission?!".; Drenning Is Defeated for Coun ty Attorney. Johnson Kan Wilkervon a Close Race. The Republican ticket: nominated in Shawnee county is as follows; State Senator Clad Hamilton. Judge District Court A. W. Dana. Clerk District Court R.' L. Thomas. County Attorney T. D. Humphreys. Probate Judge-W. F. Schoch. Sheriff John M. Wi Ikerson. Register of Deeda-S. J. Hodgins. County Treasurer Stanley Medlicott. (joroner ti. h. Keith. County Superintendent John F. Eby. ourveyor wait Jrawrord. Representative City District A. M. Harvey. Representative North District W. S. Bergundthal. Representative South DIstrict-Rob-ert Stone. i Commissioner City District E. L. O'Neil. Commissioner South District J. C. Shimer. I All three representatives and the state senator from Shawnee county are instructed for Bristow for United States senator. Bristow carried every country precinct in Shawnee county, and every ward in the city of Topeka. This outcome was a surprise to the Long people, who were confident of one district in the county, and hoped for two districts and the senatorial district. The totals which fere in themselves incomplete, show that Leland carried the city with Bristow ahead of Long, while West failed to carry the city for supreme court Justice, against Smith, McNettl running way ahead for state printer against Reid with Austin third. Hamilton Carried the city decisively over McCabe for the office of state senator, Bergundthal nomi nated recresentative from the Thirtv- seventh district against Hutcbeaon by a small- majority, Stone leading Phillips in the' south district and Zimmerman well In the -lead over Falklner for county clerk. Drenning and Humphreys are still fighting it out in the city with late returns cutting down somewhat the small majority of Humphreys for county attorney. Shoch still continues to gain on Greenwood and Page for probate judge. Johnson has lost to Wilker son for sheriff.- The race between Hazlett and Keith for county coroner has been won decisively by the latter who led in almost every precinct of the city. Eby has a heavy majority over Ramsey for the superintendency of public instruction and Crawford still remains In the quadrangular race for county surveyor. W. E. Sterne has lost to Edward O'Neil as commissioner from the Sec ond district, with the total vote yet to hear from. Frank Slmms has been nominated for sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Some Surprises. A surprise of the campaign is the close running fight that Johnson gave to Wilkerson for sheriff. In the city Johnson had Wilkerson crowded close and only the superior strength of Wilkerson in the country precincts awarded him his office again. Anoth er surprise was the defeat administer ed to Sterne by O'Neil. The latter had been making a vigorous campaign of publicity through the newspapers and otherwise, while the former relied on his past record and services togeth er with his connections with leading Republicans of the party in the coun ty to carry him through. Mr. Sterne accepvs his defeat philosophically. Wm. E. Sterne who was defeated for county commissioner by Ed L. O'Neil gave out the following statement to day: "The result is entirely satisfactory. 1 The people of Shawnee county have been more than generous to me and I have no complaint to make. I hope Mr. O'Neill will make a good commissioner and he will have my best wishes for his success. I will always have a pride in the record the board has made while I was a member and feel that x. was fortunate in having such pleasant and able associates." The returns from the city and coun ty have come In more slowlv than j anticipated. Failures to properly return the vote to the commissioner of elections office, the lengthy character of the ticket and the heat of the evening all contributed to extreme delay in securing returns over the city and county from the election boards. At 8 o'clock this morning the second precinct of the Fifth ward which cast a heavy vote had only half completed the count. This was duplicated in several other precincts. The vyte in the south representative district: Stone 1.015 Philips 682 Late returns indicate that Drenning may have s slight majority over Humphreys for county attorney. The City. Twenty-one out of 26 precincts, five still incomplete in the city give the fol lowing vote at the primaries of Tues day. Governor Republican Leland L679; Stubbs. 1.363.- Democrat Botkin, 180.

The anti-machine and machine are contesting the county central commit tee with each side having an even break of the committeemen elected. In several precincts the votes for mcahlne and anti-machine men exist and there is talk of contest in several of these precincts. The returns were badly Jumbled in a number of instances, election boards failing to make totals of the vote cast. From five o'clock of Tuesday morn ing until 5 o'clock this afternoon the election commissioner and his clerks were on constant duty without sleep, and acting likewise was the board of supervisors who served almost as long without sleep. Many election "boards wer in constant service for 40 hours. One board was ousted from Its place this was in the Third ward, fourth precinct, where the board had to give way to a funeral and adjourn to the lawn in front of the building. One election board finished fts count In five minutes, this was in the Fifth ward where one precinct just newly added had but three votes, the Judge and clerk of an election casting one each. Reports From County. Returns received at the county clerk's office from twenty out of twenty-five precincts in Shawnee county outside of Topeka give the following totals on Republican candidates where there was a contest for the offices: Governor Leland, 490; Stubbs, 964 ti. S. Senator Bristow, 992; Long, 435. State Senator Hamilton, 816; Mc Cabe, 450. County Clerk Falklner, 287. Zim merman, 930. County Attorney Drenning, 706; Humphrey, 519. Probate Judge Greenwood, 650; Page. 403: Schoch, 493. Wilkerson for sheriff carried these twenty precincts over his two oppon ents by a large plurality. Keith had a large majority for cor oner over Haslett. and Eby leads Ram sey for county superintendent by a wide margin. The race for surveyor between Craw ford, Gibson. King and Parkhurst, is very close in these country precincts. McNeal for stnte printer has a long lead over his opponents. Austin and Reid. Stubbs and Bristow carried every one of these twenty precincts. Returns from Tecumseh township are as follows: Leland. 30; Stubbs, 78; McNeal, 55; Bristow, 78; Long, 30; Hamilton. 69; McCabe, 0; Falklner. 27; Zimmerman, 82; Drenning. 54 Humphrey. 29; Greenwood. 44; Page, 27; Schoch, 40. Keith for coroner and Eby for county superintendent each received a solid vote In this township. With Tecumseh added to the above vote of the county precincts outside of Topeka there remains only Auburn, on precinct in Topeka township and two in Soldier township yet to hear from. Belleview precinct in Topeka town ship divided its vote almost equally between the Republican candidates for governor and United States sena tor. This was the only country pre cinct in Shawnee county except Ross vllle and Richland where Stubbs and Bristow did not have a walk over. Dr. Keith for coroner carried every country precinct over his opponent by a large majority. Hamilton ran with Dr. Keith in the rural districts. Tom McNeal was very strong with the farmers of Shawnee county. He carried every country precinct. Highland Park precinct cast 100 Republican votes at the primary as against a total ot 86 votes at tne last state election. A gain in population for this Topeka suburb. Menoken township cast 78 votes for Republican state officers two years ago and 60 votes for Stubbs yesterday. North Mission made a sensational showing with 79 votes for Stubbs and 25 for Leland. Two years ago this township only gave 72 votes for the Republican ticket. Oakland precinct cast 143 Republican votes two years ago, yet Bristow got 1S5 votes there yesterday and Lon 63 votes. North Wllliamsport precinct handed the worst lemon to Leland and Long. The former got 6 and the latter 5 votes out of the 40 cast in the precinct. Shinier for Commissioner. The total vote on commissioner in the south district was as follows: Bunce 181 Chrisman 270 Cockrell 261 Halford 123 Xelsey 234 i udington 272 Matthews U Shimer 20 The vote in the north representative district was as follows: Bergundthal ..398 Hutcheson 351 King 165 STUBBS AND BRISTOW.

President Expresses His Sentiments Regarding Senator Allison. Oyster Bay, N. T., Aug. 5. President Roosevelt today wired the late Senator Allison's secretary as follows: "Am inexpressibly Shocked and con cerned at the news. The whole coun try loses a man grown grey in the most honorable type of service, a man who because of his experience and trained ability was one of the most efficient aids In achieving good gov ernment that we had In our country.

A special dispatch to the' Exchange Telegraph company from Geneva, says: The sultan of Turkey was stabbed in the breast on Monday by a minor palace official. The coat of mail which the sultan always wears, deflect ed the blow. The assassin. wa arrest ed. Apparently he had been bribed to commit the act as he had a large sum of gold In his pockets and his baggage was packed ready for flight. The news was received in Geneva from Constantinople by a young Turk here. COWHERD WIIIS. Kansas City Man Nominated for Gov. ernor by Missouri Democrats, Kansas City. Mo., Aug. 5. Late re turns from yesterday's primaries in Missouri. Indicate that William 8. Cow herd, of Kansas City, formerly, chair man of the Democratic congressional committee, waa nominated by the Dem ocrats for governor over David A. Ball, of Pike county, and Criminal Judge William H. Wallace, of Kansas City. Cowherd's nomination Is claimed by close to 25.000, but returns are coming in so slowly that definite figures will not be obtainable until late today. Ball appears to have received a larger vote than Wallace, who made his campaign on his Sunday enforcement record. Herbert S. Had ley of Kansas City. the attorney general of Missouri, was the only candidate for governor on the nepuDiican ticket. Cowherd's strength lav nrinclnallv In the cities and in St. Louis, Kansas uny ana St. Joseph he received good pluralities. Wallace and Ball showed their greatest strength In the farming districts. The cities turned the scale In favor of Cowherd. Late reports, however, show Cowherd fell below the campaign estimates made by bis man- agers. Congress Nominations.

The State Journal last night gave bulletins of yesterday's primaries to thousands of people who blocked the street in front of its building for sev eral hours. Although the counting of the ballots was naturally very slow, the success ful candidates for nearly every office in Shawnee county were forecasted before midnight. The bulletins were given by stereoptlcon on a big canvas hung from the State Journal building in such a manner that any one could read the same nearly half a block away. This excellent service was made possible by the using of ma terial which was transparent, the bulletins being written on the same by use of typewriters and then run through a stereoptlcon which mag nified the announcements on the can vas until they were clear and distinct. The machine waa operated by an electric cable run from the State Journal building out to the Instrument which was placed near the middle of Kansas avenue. Reporters for the paper collected, the local newa by visiting the different voting places, while outside returns from various sections of the state were secured over the long distance telephone lines, as well as over the telegraph wires. No better bulletin service was ever given in -Topeka and the big crowd expressed its appre ciation of the enterprise.

Faxon's Sketch of Brlstow. An exceedingly Interesting article on Brlstow was written several years ago by Ralph H. Faxon, formerly a State Journal reporter and later for many years private secretary for Senator Long. Here Is the Faxon sketch: "Occasionally there appears In high public position a man whose standard of morals is so lax that he either wil fully or Indifferently suffers the loos est methods' to obtain among his sub ordinates and about his office. This shortcoming may not be criminal, but usually is. Occasionally there also ap pears a man in a similar position whose character Is what Is usually termed 'Puritan;' meaning whose offi cial uprightness and rigid official manner strikes terror In the hearts of all who come in contact with him; whose Indefatigable zeal amounts to frenzy; and whose moral makeup nearly approaches that of those who burned witches at the stake in old New England days. A Good Naturod Zealot. "Of neither of these two classes, happily. Is one high public official whose name now appears many times per day in the public prints. And yet Joseph L. Brlstow, the fourth assis tant postmaster general, comes as near the latter class as it is good for any man to do. He Is a zealot but he Is a good natured one; he is rigid, tense, and precise but he has an ap preciation of humor, and is even kind ly during office hours. "The work of this man In Kansas he la Just "Joe Brlstow la filled with results, always. He never In his life set out to do a thing that he did not conclude Just about as he had intend ed In the beginning, and with credit to himself. The secret of his success has been his rigldness of principle and ac tion; and his absolute honesty and ex treme scrupulousness; his illimitable capacity for work. For Bristow would rather work than eat or sleep. He has perhaps been more bitterly cen sured and assailed by newspapers and statesmen than any other one man outside of the president. This has only stimulated him to greater energy and the successful performance of greater tasks. His tenor In office, more than six years, has been a most stormy one, and various gentlemen ac credited with 'pulls' have camped day and night on this Kansan's trail, to no avail. The press of the country has had Bristow 'removed' more times In a given period than It has thus hon ored any other official. And still Bristow sticks. Most of all, and what Is more to the point, the president seems to think he will continue to stick. A Native of Kentucky. "Joseph L. Brlstow Is a native of Kentucky. In Kansas, that was never laid up against him. For his parents had the excellent Judgment to bring him to the Sunflower state at a young and tender age. His early life was like that of any other boy of a large family, the head of the family not being in ex- R. R. TELEGRAPHER Increases Ability on Right Food. Anything that will help the R. R.

They are genuine, true, and full of human Interest. actly affluent circumstances. After public schools, the young man some way or ."other got through Baker university, Baldwin, Kan., a Methodist Institution which has turned out many bright men. Among Its alumni, besides Bris tow, are: The Rev. Dr. W, A. Quayle, now of Indianapolis, formerly of Kan sas City, a pulpit orator and writer f renown: Representative Philip Pitt Campbell of the Third Kansas district; Henry J. Allen of Ottawa, editor, poli tician, wit and orator, who Is now con tending for a congressional nomination In the Second Kansas district. Got Into Politics Early. "Brlstow got Into politics at an early age. He was elected clerk of the dis trict court in Douglas county, Kan., In the eighties. He served two terms, and then went to Salina. where he bought a small paper, which he turned Into a daily. In 1894 Kansas Republi cans set about to rid the state of Pop ulism, and inaugurated early in the year an aggressive preliminary cam paign. Bristow contended with Wm. A. Calderhead of Marysvllle for the congressional nomination In the Fifth district. He lost it by one vote, which is interesting. One vote in a precinct of the city of Concordia gave Calder head and precinct, which gave him the ward, which gave him the city, which gave him Cloud county, which nomi nated him. It was hard luck, but Bristow only smiled. "This contest excited attention to the young editor, and later, when Cyrus Leland was made chairman of the Republican state central com mittee, and needed a first class secre tary, J. L. Bristow of Salina was chosen. All through that campaign, with a never-flagging zeal, and bear ing the hardships Incident to the posi tion he filled, Brlstow worked for his party at Topeka. When it was all over and Major E. N. Morrill of Hiawatha, former representative In congress from the First district, was elected governor, he made the secre tary of the state committee his secre tary. Great Energy a Characteristic. "The writer hereof was a young re porter and correspondent at the state house at Topeka In these early days of 1895 when Morrill was governor and Brlstow was secretary to the gover nor. He has not seen since such energy and application as Bristow gave to the work before him. It was amazing in the extreme. And when the memorable campaign of 1896 came on, with the presidential race, and with Morrill a candidate for re election, with Populists and Demo crats exultant and united in Kansas, Bristow divided his duties and became again secretary of the state com mittee. All through that long siege and nowhere was the campaign more bitterly fought out than in Kansas his was the energy and force that di rected and pushed it forward. "In 1897, Cyrus Leland. who had been national committeeman from Kansas since 1884, and who was a member of the executive committee and close to President McKinley and Chairman Hanna, went to Washing ton. The state generally did not know Just what he was up to, but one day came back to the state the informa tion that the president had nominated Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas to be fourth assistant postmaster general. Amazement in Washington. "In Washington this caused some amazement. The bureau of the fourth assistant postmaster general was a most important one. It was the ap pointment, the inspection, and. In a measure, the executive, branch of the postofflce department. What manner of man was this brought out from the west to' be placed In charge of it? In Kansas, even, where Brlstow had be come quite well known, and where the Importance of the bureau was not properly estimated. It was wondered whether Brlstow would be 'big' enough to fill the place. Takes a Monstrous Job. "Bristow went to Washington. He took hold of his monstrous Job as though he were at his newspaper desk, or the desk of the secretary to the governor of Kansas. He applied himself to his task, and he set about it to know a little more about what was going on in the department than anyone else and he soon did. He mastered details and inaugurated re forms. He became a rigid taskmas ter and disciplinarian, but for the pub lic's good. He reorganized the bu reau, but more especially the inspec tion division. His 'trained corps of young men was soon ferreting out all manner of wrongdoings, small though they were. His appointment division handled the enormous work of ap pointing and commissioning thousands of new postmasters all over the coun try, with consummate skill and In credible facility. He came In touch with the president and the then post master general, Charles Emory Smith, and possessed their confidences to the highest degree. When His Opportunity Came. "But it was not until 1900 that Bris tow's opportunity really came. The Cuban postal scandals began to be a source of embarrassment, and the ad ministration decided to air them. The president and the postmaster general picked on Brlstow for the Job. He went to Cuba and for three months, night and day, overturned everything, sift ing here, sifting there, until he had performed the task given him. His succinct and clear report afterward was one of the finest bits of official work which has been given publicity in many years. His suggestions were acted upon. His advice was taken. The evils were righted. Cuban postal ser vice was placed on a clean and business-like basis. The execrations of Neely and Rathbone and their frlend3 and political backers ever since 1900 are a standing monument to Brlstow's meritorious labors. "In 1902 the 'get-rlch-quick' scheme began to be talked about. Brlstow" had already had his Inspectors at work on these and the shaklngs-up that follow ed so expeditiously were another trib ute to him. "Early In 1903 there began to be rumors of scandals In the department at Washington. Brlstow talked with the president about them, and desir ed carte-blanche in his Investigations. The president knew Bristow, and be lieved in him. He gave him abundant authority, and the rest Is known. Ev ery removal, every resignation, every purged spot is due to Brlstow's work, and the highest praise has recently publicly been given him by the post master general and the president. But he is not yet through, nor will he be until his untiring energy, his zealous honesty, and his Indefatigable work shall have brought about the last of the evil-doing. Brlstow's Personality. "Brlstow personally is curious. He Is tall, lank, stooped. You know he Is fearless by the cut of his Jaw. You know he Is honest by the clear-directness of his eye. You know he is tire less by the build of man he is. and his appearance. It is sometimes Imagin ed that he is austere and cold, but in truth he is genial, sociable, pleasant and of happy disposition. You would think him veritably a Puritan, but when you know him you find some traces of the Puritan's antithesis the cavalier. Above all he la honest. brave, manly and upright. He is I Theodore Roosevelt's Idea of what a man in public office should be. Noth ing higher in praise of him could be said than that" Brlstow and the Railroads. Bristow has been fighting railroad abuses. In his Salina "Journal" In 1905, he said of a system of rate regulation which gives "distant cities and other states advantages which na ture Intended for Kansas," and which "compels the people of this state to pay excessive rates on the commodi ties they consume," that it is an In justice which they may not be ex pected to endure." Again referring to a railroad phrase, "the people are prosperous and can stand It," Brlstow wrote: "Generally speaking, that Idea has controlled the business world in Amer ica from the beginning. But there is no justice in the idea. The people of Kansas are not demanding railroad regulation because of poverty, but be cause it is fair and honest and right. "The rates on wheat for export from all points in central Kansas, the great wheat-growing belt of our state,' have been fixed upon an unjust and iniquit ous basis since the deep-water harbor was secured at Galveston. There is not a point in the wheat-growing belt, from Lamed, Hays, Plalnvllle, Belolt, or Concordia, that Is not closer to Gal veston than is Kansas City, yet the rate on wheat from all of these points to Galveston has been the rate from Kansas City to Galveston, plus the local rate from the point of shipment In Kansas to Kansas City, though wheat shipped from these points to Galveston is never shipped to Kansas City, but goes direct from central Kansas south to the Gulf. "To Illustrate: Take the rates from Caldwell, Sumner county. Caldwell is 655 miles from Galveston on the Rock Island railroad. Kansas City Is 950 miles, Caldwell is, therefore, be tween Kansas City and Galveston, 295 miles nearer the Gulf than is Kansas City. Up until a recent decision of the Interstate Commerce commission (a decision which fixed 25 cents as the maximum rates for distances under 750 miles from Galveston, and, by in ference would apply to Caldwell,) the rate from Caldwell to Galveston has been the rate from Caldwell to Kansas Club, plus the rate from Kansas City to Galveston. When I spoke at Cald well some two years ago, the rate then from Kansas City to Galveston was 16 cents per hundred; the rate from Caldwell to Kansas City, 12 c per hundred, while the rate from Caldwell to Galveston was 28 cents per hun dred, almost double, although Cald well was on a continuous line between Kansas City and Galveston, and 295 miles nearer the Gulf. What Is true of Caldwell Is true of every town in central and southern Kansas." BRYAN TO CAMPAIGN. He W ill Speak In Most of the Prin cipal Cities. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 5. William J. Bryan will make several campaign tours which will embrace nearly all parts of the country, speaking In most of the principal cities oetween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The candidate's itinerary is now under the management of Norman E. Mack, chairman of the national Democratic committee, who made known the general plan of the tour. John W. Kern, the Democratic vioe presidential candidate, will likely accompany Mr. Bryan on part of the trip and Chair man Mack hopes to arrange to have Mr. Kern speak with Mr. Bryan when he makes his visit to New York state. Mr. Mack said: "While the present plans are tenta tive and subject to change, Mr. Bryan will make several tours which will take In practically the whole United States. He will speak only In the large cities, and will not attempt to do the exhaustive work that he has done in other of his campaigns. Soon after the notification of Mr. Bryan in Lincoln, he will speak In the middle section of the country, visiting Chi cago, Cleveland. Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities. Later Mr. Bryan will go east and on this trip I am planning to have Mr. Kern make a Joint speaking tour with him. "The Pacific coast states also will be visited by Mr. Bryan probably im mediately after the trip to the east. No definite speaking dates have been set and will not be for some little time. Mr. Kern will be actively en gaged during the campaign with speech making trips through the principal parts of the country." Chairman Mack is still engaged with the selection of the subcom mittee of the national committee which will have the direction of the Democratic campaign In the eastern states. WHOLE BLOCK WRECKED. Cloudburst Causes $100,000 Damage at Bisbee, Arizona. Bisbee, Ariz., Aug. 5. The postof flce and all the business houses and offices on one side of Main street for a distance of 200 yards have been wrecked by a cloudburst which swept down from the mountain side a mass of mud and rock. The damage is estimated at $100,000. Postmaster M. E. Cassidy, Sheriff Jack White and eighteen girl clerks in the postofflce narrowly escaped when the flood, almost without warning, struck the building and filled It with water six feet deep. Huge boulders and tons of dirt and rocks slid Into the first floor of the postofflce. where the force was at work. Considerable mail was washed away. Miss Clara Larsen of Chicago was rescued from five feet or water by Miss Barr, another clerk. Thousands upon thousands of tons of rocks and dirt were washed into the streets, which are piled five to twenty feet high with debris. Passed Through Sea of OU.

THEY ARE EXPENSIVE Cost the State $350 Apiece or Total of $5,000. Include All the Famous Price Bald Records. Just one year ago, the state of Kan sas commenced the investment of $5,000 In a new set of civil war mus ter rolls. The work of making those rolls has Just now been completed, the $5,000 has been spent, and the state has fourteen new books to add to the archives of the adjutant general's office. These are probably the most expen sive books the state owns, except the old "official journals" of the house and senate. The fourteen muster rolls cost the state about $350 apiece. In addition to the fourteen new books of muster rolls, the state will also get thirteen old volumes of "vol unteer" muster rolls rechecked and rebound. The work of making the copies of the old rolls was intrusted to Adjutant General J. W. P. Hughes, in whose custody the original muster rolls are. It was essential that the copies be made, for the old rolls were literally worn to tatters. Some of them were so rotten and old that they had fallen into a hundred pieces. These rolls are of the utmost importance as docu ments of reference in civil war mat ters. Some years ago the state had copied the volunteer muster rolls, but the muster rolls of the Price raid and of the Kansas state militia were never copied until provision was made by the 1907 legislature. General Hughes decided that the best way to copy the old rolls would be by typewriter, so he secured a type writer of Immense size, larger than any ever brought to Topeka. In It the big sheets which were later bound into books were placed and old muster rolls copied. The books are splendid specimens of neatness and good workmanship, and are on the very best paper ob tainable, and bound with the utmost care. They should last a hundred years or more. Adjutant General Hughes today gave out a statement concerning the work which he has Just completed. He says: "The work of copying and filing these rolls was begun in August, 1907, under the provision of an act of the legisla ture of 1907, appropriating $5,000 for that purpose. "Most of the companies that served during the Price raid had several mus ter and pay rolls, and the one chosen to be copied, in most cases, was the one containing the greatest number of names, the longest term of service, the most complete general record of the one signed and sworn to by the com pany commander. Where the roll copied was chosen on account of its containing the greatest number of names, and another roll, perhaps un signed and containing fewer names gave a more complete record of the date of muster in and muster out, these dates were Inserted in the type written copy to make the company record more complete. "In comparing the various rolls of a company, many differences were found In the spelling of the names. This may be accounted for in great part by the fact that in most cases the men did not write their own names, but gave them verbally to the clerk of the com pany, and it has been noted that these clerks were fighters rather than wri ters. To account for these differences In spelling, notes have been made at the foot of the pages, showing the vari ous ways in which the names appear on the various rolls. Much of the wri ting Is almost illegible, and in cases where there is only one roll of a com pany on file, notes have been made of the various ways in which the names might be deciphered. Thus the result ing copy is rather a compilation of the several rolls of a company rather than an exact copy of any one roll. "There is no possible way of dis tinguishing between the capital T and J' on the original rolls, and they have been copied Interchangeably, except in a few cases where the name was found written in full on one of the rolls not used as copy. Sometimes there was no way to determine which was the sur name, as for example 'Thomas James' may be 'James Thomas," or 'Franklin Wallace may be 'Wallace Franklin.' t. c7i-! rases, if the name wanted is not found In the index. It perhaps will be found reversed. "Tn former Adjutant General HollI day's report for 1864 he states that the Seventeenth regiment commanded by CoL E. C. Manning, participated In the Price raid, but Richard J. Hinton's history says: "The eeventeenin regi mont Cni. Manning, was the only or ganizatlon which did not respond to the call of Governor Carney, of October g 1864 They presented a reasonable excuse' In the fact of the exposureof their section to Indian attacks. The muster and pay rolls of this regiment on file In this office do not show any Summer Tip For Women. Next to the white, pale shades with a very light shrimp pink as one of the lead ers, are extensively used In the eastern resorts. This is surely the age of the slender wo man. She predominates at all the resorts this season. Over at Atlantic City it Is said all the fat women stayed away. At any rate, they are few, as is plain to be seen. What Is the secret? Stout ladles of the 400 have found a new way to quickly take off the extra fat and hold It in check without inconvenience They have thankfully given up dieting, exercising and the miscellaneous drugging so long in vogue among the overfat, for a simple mixture that is said to give re markable result, owing to its control of the fat-forming operations or the system. The formula is: Marmola, one-half ounce: Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, one-half ounce; Syrup Simplex, three and one-half ounces: dose a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime, intnusiastic. users claim that this mixture will reduce fat at the rate of a nound a day without causina: wrinkles, and has the additional merit of being perfectly harmless, une ingredients are inexpensive and obtainable at any drug store. In order to get the best re sults, however, the Marmola must be fresh, and so care should be taken to get It in the original unbroken half-ounce package. dates of service during the Price raid. 1 uu roiis on nie ot ma field and staff of Brigadier General Sherry, Brigadier General Scott or MaJ.

The Price raid, which was the oc casion for calling into service about 18,000 Kansas troops, was named from the Confederate general. Ster ling Price, in command of the army of the Trans-Mississippi, who, under orders from the Confederate war de partment, planned to invade Kansas with about 40.000 men. Governor Carney, In a proclama tion dated Oct. 8, 1864, called into ac tive service all of the Kansas state militia, and placed Major General Geo. W. Deltzler In .command. The feder al authorities at Ft. Leavenworth also declared martial law, and ordered all able bodied men between 18 and 60 years into the ranks. There were a total of 24 white reg iments, numbered from one to 24. also the First regiment of the colored troops, the Santa Fe road battalion, the Bourbon county battalion, the Frontier battalion cavalry, the Fourth battalion, the First Battalion Irregu lars, the Klckapoo Home guards and the Old Guards. The total enlisted strength of all these forces was 18. 059 men, but many of the men were absent with and without leave, some were sick, some deserted, some re fused to cross the line into Missouri, and some were over or under age. SURE TO PROSPER Bright Future Before the New Century Life Company. Stock Eagerly Sought for by Public as Investment. At a meeting of the board of direc tors of the New Century Life insurance company, held recently, formal action was taken to legally complete the or ganization of the company. Officers were elected and by-laws adopted. J. W. Haughey was elected president; Wilard N. Hall, vice president; L. G. Beal. secretary; David L. Lakin, treas urer and assistant secretary; Dr. L. A. Ryder, medical director and A. M. Harvey, attorney. An executive com mittee consisting of F. W. Freeman, W. N. Hall. J. W. Haughley. L. G. Beal, David L. Lakin, L. A. Ryder and A. M. Harvey were selected to aid in advancing the company and to safe guard its business interests. The fore going men make a powerful commit tee and will add strength to an already strong managing board of directors Everything possible to strengthen and safeguard the Investors and patrons is being done. It is generally conceded by Intelligent business men. that a great life insur ance company can be permanently established In Kansas by following honorable and legitimate business methods, and that such a company is needful to the business and financial interests of this state. It Is evidently the ambition of the New Century Life directors to found Just such a com pany. Men of such wide business ex perience, integrity, high standing and ability attract and obtain the confi dence and patronage of the Investing public and permanently hold such con fidence by adhering strictly to honor able business methods. The manage ments has secured the services of the following well known men: Paul L. Woolston of Denver, an able life Insurance man, was chosen as actuary for this company. H. B. Carroll of Indianapolis, Ind., one of the best business producers in the Hoozier state, was selected as superintendent of agents. S. P. Cobb of Welington, Kan., who for many years was employed by the Equitable Life, one of the best life in surance business producers in Kansas, an able, clean man, together with many other similarly strong men. Investments In the stock of the com pany amounting to over $81,000 have already been subscribed, which is evi dence that those who have investigat ed have confidence in the management and earning power of the company. As a saving, profitable enterprise for the citizens of Topeka and Kansas In general it has no equal, and in im portance excels all new enterprises now being offered to the public as an investment.

The ar rangements for the funeral for Sena tor William B. Allison will be com pleted today at a meeting of his friends. There is not a relative to con sult, not a single wish to consider out side of the desires of the host of friends In Dubuque and Washington and throughout Iowa. Alone,- not survived by a blood relative and living solely for the public service which he might perform. Senator Allison's last few days were a fitting climax of a lonely man's life. The Allison home today is la charge of the few Intimate friends of Senator Allison. The house, draped in mourn ing, is fairly filled with flowers and the body of the aged senator, prepar ed for burial, will no doubt lie In state for several hours later in the week. His funeral arrangements depict the loneliness of his late years. No rela tives are present he haa none. Friends are there he had legion, and It is they who are arranging for the final obsequies over the remains of Iowa's distinguished senator who had passed his life so much in the hands of the public. Home life, privacy and quiet were all sacrificed by Senator Allison for the public welfare. Senator Allison was more than a public man; he was the public's man. He belonged to them. They will bury him as he would be buried, by throngs of his neighbors and friends. Elaborate preparations are being made to handle the enormous crowds of friends, not only from Iowa, but from all over the United States, who will attend the funeral services of the great statesman. Many of his col leagues in the senate will be present. Many of the officials from Washington are telegraphing to Dubuque friends that they will be present. No other man than a president will be more honored dead, than Senator Allison. SOME POOTBALIi CHAXGES. New Rules Have a Tendency to Make the Game More Open. Chicago,Aug. 5. Official football rules for next fall are out and there are sev eral changes in them which probably will have a tendency to make the game more open. Alterations have been made on the forward pass, on the pen alty for hurdling and roughness, foul ing, time to be taken out and the inter mission between halves. The change In which the football en thusiasts are most interested is the for ward pass, although the alterations are not so great as to make much differ ence. The rule regarding that particu lar play was altered to the extent that when the forward pass Is legally touch ed only the man of the passer's side who thus first legally touches it shall be entitled to recover the ball until it haa been touched by an opponent. Also, if a forward pass Is thus legally touch ed, fumbled and touched by another player of the passer's side before the Washburn 95 $3.50 $4 Oxfords UA CHOOSE FROM 12.20 11-20 12tm 1000 m DaFlntna UwAm ball has touched an opponent, the oval shall go to the opponents on the side where It was first legally touched. Spalding's guide also states In regard to that play that while the ball Is In the air for a forward pass players of the defensive side may not use their hands or arms on opponents, except to push them out of the way in order to get the ball themselves. Players of the side making the pass who are eligible to re ceive the pass may use the hands and arms, as in case of players going down the field under a kick. Neither side may, however, hold to tackle an op ponent who has not the balL In case a forward pass Is illegally touched out side of these provisions the penalty shall be that the ball go to the op ponents at the spot from which the pass was made. The rule regarding hurdling and roughness has been changed to read "Loss of 16 yards, point to be gained and number of downs to remain un changed." A field Judge has been made time keeper and with the umpire has Juris diction over the ruling of a batted ball, which has" been altered to read that the penalty for batting the ball forward is made loss of It to the offending side. In regard to all penalties for fouls it has been determined that they may be declined by the offended side, except penalties under the forward pass. This, however, in case where the disqualifi cation does not save the player from being put out of the game. Instead ot having ten minute inter. mission between halves. It has been de termined to extend the time to IS min utes. The teams are to be notifies three minutes before the expiration of the time. If one of the eleven does not ap pear on the field five minutes after ward the ball will be put in play as first down by the offended side on the offending side's 30 yard line. Another change Is that If a ball on a forward pass or a kicked ball, except try at goal, strike the uprights or cross bars, the ball shall be considered as having crossed the goal line. In case of the ball accidentally striking an offi cial, the play shall be gone through again. AMERICAN' BOAT FIRST. Dixie Wins Race From British Craft Wolseley Siddeley. Huntington, L. I., Aug. B.
