KANSAS REPUBLICANS.
Editor Murdock Apparently Has
a CinCh.

Editor MurdOck Apparently Has
Cinch.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 2S.-All interest
has centered in the fight for governor.
and it is noticeable fact that the
followers of Murdock, editor of the
Wichita Eagle, are the most confident.
They recognize that the 125 votes
which will stand by Murdoch will
force deadlock until the strength of
either E. N. Morrill,. or of Farmer"
Smith breaks. Last night at an informal
conference of the Murdoch leaders, it
was decided to show both leading candi-
dates just what the Wichita editor could
do toward organizing the convention.
1t was given out boldly that Murdoch
proposed to have both the temporary
and permanent organizations. The
Morrill, managers will make no fight OH
Murdock's organization, but the Smith
men will be inclined to do SO.
1t is admitted that the nomination for
governor will have great deal to do
with shaping the prohibition plank in
the platform. Murdoch has always
been recognized as reSubmiSS;OniSt,
and. if nominated. there will be a strong
plank inserted insisting upon strict
enforcement of the prohibitory law.
Murdoch has pledged himself to enforce
the law to show just how offensive the
effects OF the law really are.

Very Serious Charges Made

WINNIPEG, Man., June ;2s.-In a
double-leaded article today the Free
Press makes grave charge against the
Green way government. 1t is to the eff
feet that the government has paid a
claim for $4,000 made against the prov
ince some years ago by firm of East
ern railway contractors, but which was
repeatedly rejected by the government,
though the claimants were offered the
privilege of suing the province to re-
cover the amount, but the contractors
never took advantage of the proposal.
The present government, the Free Press
alleges, beiug i'll need of election funds,
has settled the claim in consideration of
half the amount being handed back for
campaign purposes. The charge has
created profound sensation.

with firm lips repeated the story of his
crime, eXhorting young and old against
indulgence that may unman them. He
was just calling the name of particu-

SALTWATER, Mimi, June 2s-The
board of education held meeting this
evening, ostensibly to decide whether
or not sisters of charity should be en-
ployed as teachers in the public schools
in this city next term. A resolution was
presented at former meeting of the
board providing that henceforth no
sisters of charity or persons wearing the
garD of that order be employed as
teachers. The resolution was laid over
until this meeting, and large delega-
tion CT citizens was present to see what
action. if any. the board would take with
the resolution. When the resolution was
called up this evening, some of the
members of the board were not in favor
of adopting 1t, stating that it was par
ticularly directed at Sisters of Charity
and persons wearing the garb of that
order. The citizens who are against
their employment were represented by
j. n. Searles. who stated the object
clearly. After considerable discussion
a substitute resolution was offered by
Director Burke, which gave the names
of the sisters who applied for positions,
and including no clause relative to their
order or garb. This was adopted by
Director Berry'S refusing to vote, mas
much as he did not understand the
resolution. Then Director Henning
offered a resolution as follows:
That the board of education of the city of
Saltwater would not lease any church. or
sectarian property of any kind or character,
for public school purposes.
This was adopted. Messrs. Berry.
Henning, Lindholm and Per Lee voting
aye and Messrs. Burke and Clapp no.
Mr.. Berry then offered another resolu-
tiOn to tie effect that no Sisters of Char
ity wearing the garb of that order be
employed as teachers during the ensu-
Ing school year, which was lost by a tie
vote. This meeting was one of the most
interesting ever held here. inasmuch
as the question to be decided was one of
importance to all citizens in the United
States.

current last night that the miners are
trying TO render ineffective the injunc-

with the Knights of Labor, and under
this order can carry on their war with
out liability of trouble from the courts.
Is this is true, short work will.be made
of the injunction. Parties from that
section now here say that if the injunc-
tions are dissolved nothing short of
miracle can prevent bloodshed, as all
the parties are armed to the teeth. and
deadly enmity exists between them.
