He Partially Denies That He Is Going TO
Run for Congress Here.
General James b. Weaver is to be a
Kansan according to the latest political
story.
When General Weaver was in Kansas
ten days a go a scheme was fixed among
the Populists of the Sixth congI essional
district to have General Weaver move to
Kansas. become resident of the Sixth
district and become the Populist candi-
date for congress to succeed Congress-
man Baker.
1t is understood that Baker has agreed
to decline a denomination providing
Weaver will take the nomination.
BY removing from Iowa to Kansas on
the first of May General Weaver can ac-
quire residence in the state before the
November election and the leaders of
the party in the Sixth district believe he
can poll 10000 more votes than any man
now in the district.
General Weaver was seen at his home
in Des Moines last night He objected
to being interviewed, but admitted he
was considering moving to Kansas. and
from what he said it is thought he in
tends accepting the offer of the Kansas
Populists.
A dispatch from Osborne says petitions
are being signed throughout the Sixth
district, asking Weaver to become the

Gov. TiIIman AcquIesces in the Decision
of the supreme Court
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 21.-Every dis
pensary in the state has received orders

governor will call extra session of the
general assembly, pass a new law, and
then take IL up to the supreme court,
which on July 1 will be Tillmanite in
politics by the qualification of Justice F.
b. Gary. In that event the court will re-

ONE MORE RECEIVER.
Another Topeka Man Who is in the
Fashion.
C. T. MLELLAN MADE RECEIVER

Or the LeavenwOrth- Topeka 81 south
Are-Other Railroad Matters
The appointment of G. 7. Mcclellan,
division superintendent of the Santa Fe
at this place, to the receivership of the
abandoned Leavenworth, Topeka & South
western by Judge Caldwell yesterday,
was a surprise to his friends here and to
the gentleman himself. He was first APP
prised of it by the dispatches
of this morning. Mr.. Mcclellan
was seen by a STATE JOURNAL
reporter today and said he had received
no official communication from the court
and did not know yet just what would
be done. 1t is probable that a mixed
train one way each day will be put on
from Leavenworth to Meriden to connect
with the Santa Fe's trains morning and
evening
The road is At miles in length, and has
not been in operation since fall. Dir.
Mcclellan has not been over the road for
several years, and does not know exactly
what will be needed in the way of put
ting it in shape. He will make a trip of
inspection as soon as he has heard from
the court, and will take charge imme-
diately, with his headquarters here.
This will of course insure more direct
communication between Topeka and the
people of jefferson and Leavenworth
counties, and we will catch considerable
business from that quarter that has been
going elsewhere.
