Say Stubbs Got 81 5,000 of Rail road's Money to Elect Hcch. BRING GOOD KEPOUTS. Republican Speakers Say There Is No Defection. Railroad Men Are Making Leg islatiye Blacklist. A new campaign document Just Is sued by the Democratic state central committee makes the charge that the Missouri Pacific railway contributed $15,000 to W. R. Stubbs -when he was chairman of the Boss-buster com mittee, which was expended In the nomination of Governor Hoch. It Is also charged that when the new ad ministration came Into power, the state board of, railroad assessors re duced the valuation of the Missouri racific so much that the company paid $30,000 less taxes for that year. Chairman. Henderson Martin is put ting in much of his time digging up charges against the Republican can didate. His first attack was when he accused W. R. Stubbs of being a tax dodgr. The charge that the Boss-busters used Missouri Pacific money to defeat Governor Bailey is not an entirely new one, but the amount has grown con siderably since the story was first used. "It will be remembered," said Henderson Martin, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, "that the square deal movement In Kansas was born sometime in Jan uary, 1904 and that Walter Roscoe Stubbs, the present Republican can didate for governor of Kansas, was It's Getting Cold!

One lot of Beadings at Greatly Reduced Prices the phypician in charge. For some reason the square dealers wanted to bring about the defeat of Governor Bailey though he had been a popular governor and they knew that this would necessitate the expenditure of a large sum of money. "The square dealers needed money and needed it badly and in their extremity, according to the ancient custom of the Republicans, thev ap plied to the railroads for relief. Their strongest appeal was directed to the Missouri Pacific railroad and that company generously donated $15,000 to the cause. "Reno was the first of the more important counties to hold a primary that year and the fight between Gov ernor Bailey and the square dealers in that county was hot and heaw, but the square dealers with their backing of Missouri Pacific money carried the county for Hoch. It is said that $5. 000 of the Missouri Pacific's $15,000 was spent in this fight. "The railroad company had gen erously donated $15,000. and to make the deal a square deal -worthy of a bunch of square dealers. It was neces sary for the square deal organization to do something in return. The assessment of the Missouri Pacific railroad is significant evidence that the square deal movement was true to name in this instance at least. "In 1903 the assessment of the Mis souri Pacific Railroad company in Kansas was, in round figures, iia. 000,000. The following year 1904 tne jear tnat the square deal move ment was born the assessment of the same company was $12,000,000 nr nn million dollars less than the preceding i. in ijua, aiter me square deal movement had somewhat subsided, the assessment of the Missouri Pacific Railroad company was again, in round figures $13,000,000. I am informed bv a party who is familiar with the sub ject of taxation that this reduction in 1904 saved the Missouri Parlfif rail road company $30,000 in taxes. Great is mis square aeal movement with Stubbs as its high priest." Republican politicians who have been out over the state making speeches, and sizing up political conditions, come back to Topeka with Just about the same story from every locality. It is this: "The Bryan movement is all there Is to the Democratic campaign. Bryan is the best card the Democrats have. Bui except in the big cities like Topeka and Kansas City, there is not any notice able defection. Th country vote will be almost solid for Taft." Major A. M. Harvey, of Topeka, who has been making; speeches out in the Fifth and Sixth districts, says: "I made it a point to talk to people about these Democratic claims that Taft Is losing ground. I found that everybody said the same thing; that the only people who are hollering for Bryan are Democrats. There is no dis. position on the part of the Republican voters to turn to Bryan." State Auditor James Nation, who has been at his home in Neosho county for several days, said: "The farmers of Kansas are all right. They are not af fected by this Bryan talk. They are too well satisfied with conditions as they are. There is more of the Bryan sentiment right here in Topeka than any place else I have been." Major Harvey made a hit in one of his speeches by his retort to the charge of Jerry Botkin that Stubbs is an in grate to make a fortune out of rail roads and then turn in and fight them. "Botkin says Stubbs is an ingrate," said Major Harvey with great feeling. "hut what shall we say of Mr. Botkin?

The railroad organization, which seems to be chiefly fighting Bristow for the United States senate, is making a "blacklist" of the members of and can didates for the legislature. All mem bers of the legislature who voted for the railway reform measures will be put on the blacklist, and the mem bers of the Railway Protective Associ ation will be lined up to vote against the re-election of those members. Can didates who are supposed to be for Bristow will be slated for annihilation. That such is the plan is indicated by a letter received in Topeka by a railroad man, and turned over to -Chairman Dolley of the Republican state com mittee. This letter says: "Dear Sir: Having heard that you had compiled a list of the last legis lative body that convened in your city, I come to you begging that you kindly furnish me-. wit.fi this information. I want to know how the several legisla tors voted upon the question of labor, including their votes upon the drastic railroad legislation. "I will gladly pay for the book you have, which I understand gives the necessary information, if you will send me bill for same, and if not asking too much would like to get the names and addresses of those seeking election for both state and ITnited States represen tatives for the next X'nited States con gress and state legislature. I am the representative of the Order of Railway Conductors. Kaw valley division No. 55, Kansas City, Mo. Am very desirous of getting in touch with the parties named so you will realize the import ance of my request. "I am very sincerely, yours fra ternally. W. WELCH, "2813 Lafayette Street, St. Joe, Mo." New candidate for president of the United States George DeVayn. No- komls. 111. This Is the announcement made in a letter received today by Governor Hoch. George DeVayn wants every body, everywhere, to use a little sticker which he provides, with his name on it, and stick this sticker on top of the name of either Bryan or Taft on the ballot at the November election. Mr. DeVayn fails to note that by do ing this, the voter will invalidate hi3 whole ballot. However, that is a small matter to Mr. DeVayn. He has other things of more importance to consider- Mr. DeVayn says In his letter that he is preparing to pay farmers 25 per cent above the market prices for all their products. If wheat is a dollar a bushel, DeVayn will pay $1.25, and other things in proportion. Mr. DeVayn assures everybody that he has arranged vast storehouses in New York, and has a fleet of freight vessels ready for in stant use in hauling wheat and other products to the uttermost parts of the earth. This information, and a great deal more is presented in the form of a printed circular. It is all to take ef fect in case DeVayn Is elected presi dent. The question is, how long has this new candidate been at large? The employes in all of the state in stitutions, who used to be assessed a certain per cent of their salaries for campaign purposes, will not have to contribute to the presept campaign un less they feel like it. The state now protects its employes by civil service rules, and the employes are a good deal more independent than they used to be. It is likely, of course, that the em ployes nt the state Institutions will be "invited" to contribute, and that many rday Over Twenty Model to Choose From Lot 4 This lot, of course, con tains the best goods; dozens of ele gant tailor fabrics that can be modeled into stylish skirts by our man tailor.

Elective officers will have to put up 5 per cent. If the state commit tee runs short of funds, these con tributions will be doubled. WELLLXGTOX IP TO DATE. Issuing $40,000 Worth of Bonds to Erect School Houses. J. M. Ready, a Wellington attorney, and member of the school board of that city, spent the day in Topeka in the Interest of the issuing of the $40,000 in in bonds voted in Wellington at a special election last July for the purpose of building two new school houses in that progressive city. Mr. Ready, after a conference with Attor ney General Jackson, discovered that there was some technicallitv in refer ence to the issue of the bonds that had not been observed by the Wellington school board at its first meeting sifter the election, it is a small matter, and will be rectified at the next meeting ot tne Doarn ana tne bonds issued at once. Work will,, begin on the two school houses as soon as the bonds are registered ana sold. Mr: Ready states that Wellington has shown great Improvement during the past year, or ever since the Santa Fe begun its improvements at that place ana esiaDiisnea its division there. Last year there were two vacant rooms in the Wellington schools, while this year the three school houses and high school are crowded and it was necessary to rent a Dunaing for school purposes There is not a vacant house or store building in town and Sumner county has advanced during the past year from twelfth place to sixth In the roil of Kansas counties. SATJIiS DOESN'T DRINK LIQUOR. Plain Clothes Man on Police Force Makes a Statement. Replying to the statement made by Councilman Horn. A. L. Sauls, the plain clothes man employed at the police station at the time of the discharge of Sergeant Jenkins as po trol driver Mr. Sauls says: "At the time I gave a drink of whisky to Ser geant Jenkins I was employed as pa trol driver ana uvea at tne police sta tion night and day, being on duty 24 hours a day every day out of the month. "On. the 25th of April I returned from a vacation spent at my home in Ken tucky and as I was leaving my home my father gave me half a pint of whisky. I have never- used liquor as a beverage and I placed this in my suit case and took it to my room in the Jail where it remained uncorked until I opened it and gave Sergeant Jenkins a drink the morning referred to be cause he was sick. "This room which was the only home that I had during the 24 hours each day and night that I was on duty was the only place that I had where I could take my suit case which contain ed this half pint of whisky which has received so much free advertising. I had no intention-of violating any of the rules of the police force and I kept the bottle of whisky in my room to use in case of sickness Just as I would have if I had Veen, rooming somewhere else.". OUST A JUDGE. Attorney General Jackson Would Dis- place F. D. Hutchings. Attorney General F. S. Jackson has started ouster proceedings in the su preme court against two public offi cial of Wyandotte county; Frank D. Hutchlngs, Judge of the circuit court, and W;- H. Cox, public administrator. The prohibitory liquor law is not at the bottom of these prosecutions, but they are "based on the ground that the acts passed by the Kansas legisla ture creating these offices were spec ial. legislation, and that therefore the offices were not iegally created. I ...In. short. If Mr. Jackson's ouster j suit sticks, the new circuit court at Kansas City is knocked out. Judge Hutchings was appointed to fill the newly created office by Gover nor Hoch. He is a lawyer of ability, and was prominently Interested in the important drainage lawsuits which were fought out from Wyandotte county. The supreme court "has held that under the new constitutional amend ment the special acts are all invalid, and it seems likely that the Wyan dotte county special acts will go down with the rest. The Job of public administrator and the new circuit court were created since the adoption of the amendment. While it is possible that the- laws might become general in a few years through the growth of the state, still both are applicable only to Wyan dotte county at the present time. In addition to the .unconstitu tionality of the law another charge is added to the petition to oust Cox from his place. Andrew Crozier died about two years ago and after the es tate was practically settled it is alleged that Cox went into the court and asked that the executor be dis charged and himself appointed as administrator of the estate. It Is alleged in the complaint that the only reason Cox had for doing this was to obtain the fees which the settling of the estate would bring in to him as the administrator. BUFFALO PASTURE SELECTED. It Includes 12.800 Acres and Is Lo cated In Montana. Washington. Sept. 24.

Denver, Sept. 24. The Coliseum on Champa street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, this city, was com pletely destroyed by fire of unknown origin this morning. Adjoining the Coliseum on two sides were rooming houses, the inmates of which became panic stricken, but all escaped in safety. The Coliseum was one of the city's landmarks and until the comple tion r the city auditorium was the largest public hall In the city. For a number or years it was us a pi fight arena. It was located in the block purchased last year by the gov ernment and would soon have been torn down to make room for the new postofflce. The total loss does not ex ceed $25,000. Graves Quits Missouri. Columbia, Mo.. Sept. 2 4. D. V.
