NEWS OF KANSAS.
Frederick P. Stanton Once Ter
ritOrial Secretary of Kansas,
And for Ten Months Acting
Governor is Dead.

York Editorship.
OTHER STATE NEWS.

The older residents of Kansas will be
surprised to hear of the death of Fred
erick p. Stanton, the last territorial Sec
rotary of Kansas, under Governor Walk
er, and in the absence of the latter, for
ten months acting governor.
He had been in failing health for some
time, and died several days ago at STAN
ton, Marion county, Florida The news
of his death has just been received from
private dispatch.
Mr.. Stanton was appointed secretary
of Kansas by President Buchanan in
1855. under Governor r. ]. Walker, and
in the absence of Governor Walker Mr..
Stanton was the acting executive of
Kansas for nearly ten months. During
his term as governor the feeling between
the anti and pro slavery factions was the
highest and he was called upon to act at
number of critical and stormy periods
Although Democrat, Governor Stan
toms sympathies were with the free state
faction. He exerted his personal and
official patronage in their behalf and for
this he incurred the displeasure of Sec
rotary of War Jefferson Davis and was
released.
Governor Stanton served several terms
in congress from the Memphis, Tennes-
see, district. He was last in Kansas ten
years ago when he addressed an old set
tiers meeting at Lawrence. A large
marble bust of the ex-governor is in the
rooms of the state historical society,"
Governor Stanton was 79 years and 6
months of age, and leaves three daugh-
tiers and one son, as follows:
Mrs. H. c. Stricken, of Tecumseh;
Mrs S. II. Moss, of Topeka; Miss Ada
Stanton and Alfred Stanton, of Leesburg,
Virginia.
Judge L. D. Bailey. in writing few
years ago about Mr.. Stanton, said:
stanton saved Kansas from bloody
struggle and CONFUSION at the hands of
his old time friends and party associates,
and did so in self sacrificing obedience
to his sense of duty without the faintest
prospect or hope of reward. Time will
keep the name of Frederick p. Stanton
forever bright in our Kansas annals"

1T is A HOODOO COTTAGE.
Republicans WOuldn't Have Their Ola
HendqunrierA Because of bad LUCK.

Republicans Wouldn't Have Their Oid
Headquarters Because of Had Luck.
The action Of the Republican state
central committee in abandoning the old
headquarters opposite the Copeland,
known az the "Kendall cottage" is said
to have been because the executive
committee regarded the house as hoo
dooed.
1t was is this old house. that the COM
mittee had its headquarters two years
ago when Farmer Smith lead the party
to defeat and this year rooms over drug
store are regarded with more favor than
a cottage with "hoodoo" record.
George w. Crane did not think of this
when he rented the cottage in advance
for the use of the committee, but he
probably now agrees with the members
of the committee that there must be
.Ehoodoo' in the neighborhood when he
is to get no return for the six months
rent he paid in advance.

PROSPEROUS HARVEST.

Reports From Dickinson County Farms

ABILENE, June 21.-All over the coun-
ty the binders and headers are gathering
the wheat this week. Harvest is in full
blast, but will continue longer than
usual. perhaps. on account of the grain
ripening slowly through the wet weather.
Reports from the harvest fields are that
the yield is in many sections excellent
Some fields will give crops that will
average 20 to % bushels Others in the
same locality may hardly be worth the
cutting. Altogether it is an uneven
yield which will, however. average fair

A QUEER VERDICT.
Not Guilty of jail Breaking Because He
Didn't Do the Breaking

Not Guilty of jail Breaking because He
Didn't Do the Breaking.
OTTAWA, June 21.=Charles Connolly,
alias Hugh LaFollatt the crook, now in
Jail from Garnett, and who was tried
yesterday before district court on a
charge of jail breaking was acquitted by
the jury, who found that he was not
guilty of the offense charged Connolly
testified, and introduced corroborative
evidence to the fact that he did not do
the 'breaking;" other persons made the
hole and he simply used it as means of
egress.
1t is possible that the jury considered
it not represensible act for man of
sound mind and natural desire to pro-
long life to avail himself of opportunity
to escape from danger of a collapse of
ricketv walls

mining population, has the support and
financial aid of Butte City, only twenty.

commander in this capitolian warfare
the only. the great Marcus DAILY. That
Marcus Daily is a hustler and that he
wins nearly everything he undertakes
is conclusively shown by the familiar
history of his great fight in the legisla-
ture for senatorial honors. In this
fight for the capitol site, Mr.. DAILY is
not only going to marshal all the re-
sources that he has at command, but he
is going to spend a lot of money devel-
oping mines so that men can be kept at
work, thus securing their vote when
election comes. He says that it is
cheaper to build railroads than to buy
whiskey.' I'll tell you," continued the
judge, "lhat Montana will see better

CAPITAL FIGHT.
Helena and Anaconda the Com
batantS.

Judge j. E. Lewis, of Montana, is in
the city on his way to his old home in
Iowa. The Judge is land commissioner
of the District of Montana, and as his
duties compel him to travel extensively
over the state, he is in position to be
well informed as to the general ccndi-
ton, both financial and political, of
that land Of gold, silver, cattle and
good fellows. Speaking of the work
ings of the silver legislation, the Judge
says that ''For the present great
many of the miners are out of employ
ment, because of the shutting down of
the silver mines, but as the state con-
tains great amount of paying gold
producing mines the miners will soon
turn their attention toward working
for gold. But, while mining is one of
the great money-producing industries
of Montana, yet the coming of next
summer will find another industry that,
as money producer. will knock mining
all out, and that is the matter of the
capital location. In November an
election will be held that will decide
what city will be the future capital of
Montana, and as the location is neces
sarily confined to Helena-the present
capltal-ahd Anaconda. the fight will
be bitter one. Helena is nearer the
geographical center Of the state and is
much the larger of the two cities. It
contains withal some of the wealthiest

DONE IN A MONTH.
Secretary Of the Associated Char.
tiles HepOrtS.

The monthly meeting Of the executive
was held yesterday afternoon at the
office of E. w. Peet, in the Manhattan
building. Secretary Jackson submitted
his monthly report, which was essen
TALLY as follows:
''The number Of new applicants for
relief has been less for the past month
than for either of the two months pre-
ceeding. This is not altogether sur.
prising. because so many labOriug men
having been unable to make their usual
provision for the winter, felt obliged to
apply for aid. Then, too, so much at
tention was called to the subject of re-
lief about THANKSGIVING and Christ
mas time, that many people were
tempted to apply in December who
otherwise would not have made applica-
tioE for some weeks, if ever. AS
rule it would have been bet
ter for them to delay. The
number of applicants with trades
is still very small, but the proportion of
such applicants is somewhat increased :.
One reason for the small proportion OF
men with trades is doubtless that they
are more provident: another is the aid
granted by labor organizations to their
members. In January. 1893, we visited
and reported on 10S new applicants for
relief; in January. 1894. 1872 new appli-
cantS-au increase of 50. In January,
1894, we revisited II former applicants,
making a totalgef 203. The number of
applications OH hand awaiting investi-
CATION has been materially. reduced
during the month. During. January
only one of our volunteer visitors has
been able to do regular work. She re-
ported 20 cases, and has done very good
work. The other two volunteers have
now assumed work. Since Feb. ] arr
experienced visitor has done some eX-
cellent temporary work, and has report
ed 10 cases. We could use two or three
more workers 10 advantage, either as
visitors or as office assistants, provided
they were equally capable with our
present volunteer workers.
In accordance with your instruc-
tons, paid visitor has been employed
to work twenty-five hours per week,
and is doing careful and efficient work.
We now hope to overtake the arrears

| Decemberan January"
