Lease, and who didn't get the Office, was
In the city today. Speaking to a Beacon
reporter of his defeat by Mrs. Lease, he
said:
Il did not get the office to which 1 was
appointed, but that does not make any
difference to me. 1 am Populist be
cause | believe in the principles of that
party, and intend to stay with it until 1
am convinced that some other party Of
fers the people something better
mo, l have not thought of making
any further contest against Mrs. Lease
1t will be better to let her hold the
office, as she Will do about as little harm
there as anywhere else. The best thing
for the Popnlist party is to keep Mrs.
Lease quiet l often laugh about the
canvass two years ago We had
promise of General Weaver to speak at
Mcpherson, and we did great deal of
wire working to get him to come and get
Mrs. Lease to stay away. We have
good many German voters in our county
and if you want to disgust a German
with political party you can find no
surer way to do it than to put woman
in the field to make speeches Well,
you see, we had to keep Mrs. Lease away
from there, and that is what we did.
Mrs. Lease is bright woman, but 1 very
much doubt if her connection with the
campaign ever made vote for the Pop
ulist party. | have no doubt that Gov
ernor Lewelling will be renOminated If
he desires the nomination. L know that
our people are in favor of him, and If he
will accept the nomination he will get
the delegation from our county"

THERE'S TROUBLE AHEAD
III the Mine Workers of America Decide
to Strike.


COLUMBUS. o., April 1O.-The annual
convention opthe United Mine Workers
Of America, which opened here today
with President John Mcbride in the
chair, is the most important held since
the organization was brought into ex-
lstence five years ago. and its proceed
lngs will be fraught with importance to
miners throughout the country.
( The chief question for consideration is
the proposition to declare a general
strike from eastern Pennsylvania to Col
orado, and which will involve considera-
bly, over 100000 men. Preparations
Tor this movement have been in progress
Tor several months through nightly
local meetings and state conventions
throughout Ohio, Tennessee, West Vir-
gInla, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.
President Mcbride, who IS strongly in
favor of a general strike, insists that sec
tlOnal or local strikes have been unequal
to the task of protecting or advancing
wages. The convention will decide the
matter by vote after the question has
been fully discussed, and if the proposed
strike is Endorsed the first of May will
doubtless be set for its inauguration
This will be the biggest strike in the his
tory of the miners of America.
The trouble in the coke region is also
to be considered at the meeting.
Independent labor politics is also on
the list for discussion. The convention
viii run through this week.

The WestfalI and Other Cases Are Dis
posed or
In Judge Riner's court today a boot
logger, named A Burke, was tried for
'.bootlegging,' or selling beer without a
government license. District Attorney
Perry used the term "bootIegging" a
term with which Judge Riner was not
familiar. Mr.. Perry explained that it
was a Kansas vernacular signifying a
violation of the liquor law on small
case.
When the jury was being examined to
find if there were any jurors incapable
of giving Burke impartial trial, one
of them, John F. Shultz, said he was
afraid he could not He was prejudiced.
he said, against any person who
dealt in liquor, and he was
afraid he might be too severe. He said
he did not sanction and would not toler-
ate this particular offense. He was
asked if he felt prejudiced against the
defendant and he replied, Il haven't any
love for him" Shultz was relieved from
duty on this case.
Later Burke changed his plea to guilty
and was fined $25- Judge Riner adj
dressed the man very kindly and said he
would save himself trouble by quitting
business.
The case of f. r. Westfall, the default
ing clerk in the Topeka pension agency,
was continued until next term. r. A.
Long of Denver, who is Westfall's at
torney, said the defendant has been
teaching school all winter in Colorado
but hasn't been paid his salary yet, and
he was therefore unable to come
to Topeka. District Attorney Perry
consented to the continuance mas
much all of the witnesses
live in Topeka and are available at any
time. His bond for $1,000 was renewed.
The early portion of the morning was
taken up with motions and other impor-
tant business. The grand jury is hard
at work on numerous indictments but
will probably not make a report before
Friday.
A bill of complaint in the Watkins re-
ownership case was filed i'll the court to-
day.

Walbridge realizes that these hard times

step into his store, look over the stock, get
prices and compare them with city prices,
it will be found that he sells from 10 to 25
per cent. lower for the same goods, and be-
sides there is the freight you would have to
pay. 1t goes without saying that the small
dealers in this vicinity cannot compete with
Walbridge.

Butterflies Goes Through spase With
the Speed of a Whirlwind.

New York, August 255.-The futurity
day at the Coney Island Jockey Club
track, was an ideal day for a summer
cutting. About $4,000 persons were pres
ent. Butterflies was the choice by a
large majority, and to was the best
price obtainable on her, closing at to
s. After fifty minutes delay, they were
sent away to a good start, Butterflies
ahead. When the half was reached,
Butterflies had lead Of two lengths,
and Griffin was looking back and cas-
ing his mount. Agitator under the
strong urging Of Taral, had come up to
second place. Around the turn into
the main track they came with rush,
and while Butterflies seemed to be
going easily, the others were being
urged to their utmost 10 catch the
fast flying fllley. 1t seemed to be all
over but the shouting, when suddenly
the darkey, astride af the beautiful
chestnut, shot out of the bunch be-
hind and set sail for apparently an
easy winner. 1t was Brandywine. Grit
fin heard the thunder of his hoofs, and
glancing back saw streak Of chest
nut lightning, with Clayton, riding like
mad, after him. There was no time to
waste now, and the clever lightweight
jockey began digging his heels and
riding for dear life. He, could help his
mount little, for she was tired now,
and with everysjump Brandywine was
catching her. Now he was at her tail.
then his white nose was at her saddle,
and Griffin saw 1t poled under his
eyes, and he realized that he had to
ride as hard as he knew to land the
rich stakes for Gideon and DAILY, and
win small fortune for thousands who
had bet on the flly he was riding.
Inch by inch the colt was gaining on
him, and he was straining his ear for
the finish now only few yards away.
A few more jumps and the finish line
was passed by tired boy on tired
fllly, and the rich stakes were won by
a head The crowd cheered. but 1t
would have been cheering the colt, II
