WICHITA, Sept. 26-The resignation of
David Smyth as president of the board
of police commissioners and the appoint
ment Monday night of D. A. McCanless in
his place caused quite a sensation here
because wholly unexpected. The ap-
pOintment OF Mr. McCanless however
gives general satisfaction.
David Smyth was seen by a reporter
and asked when he sent his resignation
TO The governor, to which he replied:
"Last Saturday"
what reason did you assign?"
"The reasons | presented with my res
ignation were that so much time was
taken up with the duties of police com
missioner that l found my own business
being neglected; have certain duties
under existing arrangements that de.
mand my attention and therefore l was
compelled to resign. I have nothing
further to say"
MIR Met anless refuses to be inter
viewed. II can tell you one thing.
never solicited or asked for this appoint
ment and l waa surprised when l took
the commission out of the posloffice."

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by Topeka Grain and stock XIX
change. Room .. Columbian Building.
Wheat-The market opened steady at
last nights closing prices, but immedi-
ately tirmed up on good outside buying
and gradually advanced into the GUS
again. Cables came firm and higher,
which was very encouraging to holders.
Exports were fair. The demand for cash
wheat this week so far has been excel
lent The strength soon became APP
parent from the amount of outside bus
mess, and the heavy buying by some of
the more prominent houses, especially
those with New York connections. The
selling yesterday lefs the market shors
and there being little disposition to sell,
the market advanced easily. Our mar
ket today has shown more strength than
was anticipated, and advanced in spite of
strenuous efforts made at times to de-
press prices. A broker supposed to be
acting for Mr.. Cudahy sold heavily but
all offerings were easily absorbed. Liv-
erpool cables say that the English wheat
crop is very short and that if serious
damage should occur it will cause con-
siderable excitement in the English mar
kets and our markets will advance rap
idly. Yesterdays break was caused by
heavy realizing by timid longs, and now
that weakened holders have let go and
that it is in strong hands wheat should
be bought on its merits for an advance Of
at least 10 cents. 1t is TOO low and mil
lers say they expect to pay dollar for
spring wheat before spring and ship it
from the northwest
Corn and Oats-The market in corn
was very uninteresting. fluctuations mar
row aud quotations few and far between,
Cash demand was very good and exports
fair, Oats quiet but firm.
Provisions-January pork is gradually
gaining ground and each days closing is
higher than that of the previous day.
Pork is purchase at these prices

Gov. morrill, is Form lily Apprised That
They Are Running
ATcHIsoN. Sept. 26.-The state tenn
perance union, through its president,
Rev. Richard Wake, made formal CON-
plant TO Governor Morrill, of the nom
enforcement of the prohibitory law in
Alchison. He alleges that twenty or
more saloons are running openly under
an arrangement with the city. He
further alleges that the police commits
sioners favor the present system, and
will not do their duty, and asks that they
be replaced by men who will do their
duty. George Slorch, president of the
Atchison police commissioners, has re-
ceived a letter from Governor NJ orrill
The governor states that complaint has
been made by citizens of Atchison coun-
~ that gambling houses and saloons are
running here without restraint The
governor does not name the omplainants
Governor Morrill, notified MIR. Storch of
another complaint from Atchison, which
is equa ly ridiculous. J. w. Cunningham
complains that the Atchison police COM
missioRers discriminate against old sol
dlers in appointing members of the police
force. OF the ten patrolmen now en-
plOyed. six are old soldiers. Cunning ham
presented the governor with a petition
signed by twenty five old soldiers, asking
that he be given position on the police

Pupulist administration, when he was a

freight between the company's schedule

The amount involved is less than 800.

validity of The boards schedule, and un-

W edgeReld Letter.
WEDGEy1ELD, Jan. 90, Is


The following may be of interest as a con-
tipnation of Mr.. Mcdonald Fnrman's article
published in last week's issue. Gen. Marion's
main object in adopting his great nephew,
Francis Dwight, was to perpetuate the
Marion name, then almost extinct. Francis
Dwight Marion married, March 28th, 1899,
Charlotte Kirk, who Gied without issne in
about year. he married, April 9th, 1901,
her twin sister, Harriet Kirk. By this
marriage was born eight daughters aod no
son. The lady referred to by Mr.. Furman,
Mrs. Catharine Courturier Palmer, nee
Marion. mother of Mrs. Bishop Capers, is
now Ss years of age, the only one living.
Since last Friday there have been six
tnefts committed in this immediate vicinity.
Mr.J B. Ryon's smoke house was robbed of
twelve pieces Of meat Mr. S. W. Wilson's
chicken house OF six hens, Mr.. C. Single
toms poultry yard of eight hens, Richard
Gaymon's potato house Of good many
potatoes, Esau Green, colored, had his house
robbed and as the robbers left they set IRE to
the house. This happened last Saturday in
the broad daylight The FIRE was discovered
in time to save the house. Mr.. Aycock' 8
store on his Tiverton farm WAS entered on last
FRIDAY night before 8 o'clock. Money was
evidently what they were after, as they took
little else. There vas only IS cents in the
money drawer, which of course they took
with piece of the money drawer. No clue
to any of the above robberies. This really
looks az if there is great deal Of truth in
the negroes saying they are delighted at the
recent change in trial justices. They do not
seem to fear Judge Kelly at all, tho the
Judge was heard to remark on yesterday that
he must do about and catch up with some Of
these fellows. He himself recently lost nice
hog.
Your correspondent was urged again by
Others of our best citizens to mention again
about the road from Wedge6eld to Sumter.
Really we have no road, and any of us
going to Sumter by private conveyance is
liable to be prosecuted for driving over
plowed up fields of private Individuals.
Any one doubling this will please attempt to
drive from Sumter to Wedge6eld. We in-
tesd TO kick till something is done. We are
only contending for our just dues as citizens
and tax payers.

cousin, Mrs a. P. Manning, in Sumter.
