BILL WAS IN ON IT.
Higgins Got 1926 of Shawnee
County's Money
IN THE COURT HOUSE BOND DEAL

According to the statement of One Of
shawnee's Leading POliticians-The
Pie Scattered All Around.
''There is one man who had a hand in
the court house bond deal whose name
has not been mentioned in that con-
nectiOn," said we'll known Republican
politician to JOURNAL reporter. "That
man was none other than ex-Secretary OF
State Bill Higgins. I heard Mr.. Quinton
say that of the $3.50 which was paid him
by the county commissioners, Bill Hig-
gins received $125"
Bill Higgins evidently still has some
influence in the state house. His re-
peated visits to Topeka have not been
made for nothing and the man who has a
deal to engineer through at the state
house will make no mistake if he enlists
the irrepressible Bill on his side.
A man who has sold bonds to the state
school fund commissioners said: "MOre
people had a hand in that bond deal
than is generally known. OF course l
do not say that they did anything dis
honest but they received u share of the
pie. Two different men tried to sell the
bonds to the school fund commissioners
and failed and then the other fellows
took hold of them and for some reason
they we're taken"

LIKE THE ASTOR TRAMP.
A Hobo Plays Mayor of New York and
Sits in the Mayors Chair.

New YORK, Sept "A tramp, the
most miserab BILE looking tramp that could
be picked out in a days travel, played
mayor of New York for a short time.
His clothes were in tatters and were in
danger of falling off. His face was old,
and he was three years away from
bath.
The invader climbed into the mayors
office through a window and lay down on
the lounge on which Office hunters sit
while they are awaiting their turn to an
noy Col Strong. The tramp deposited on
the floor the sardine can in which he col
lects beer, removed his shoes and hat,
placing them on the table at which the
hoard of estimates is accustomed to sit.
Bradley also took off his coat and hung
it on a door mob Then he stretched him
self out on the lounge and went 20 sleep
Bradley doesn't know how long he
slept. 1t is likely, however, that he had
a nap of couple of hours or so. When
he fawoke he felt refreshed, and he went
over and sat in Mayor Stropg's, chair,
fshed a cigar stump out of the waste
basket, lighted it and then put his feet
/ up on the desk and enjoyed himself
Janitor Larkin went into the mayor
office at 6 o'clock in the morning and

chair. AS the janitor came in the tramp

SIMPSON TOO WEAK.
Jim Can't Pull Mcpherson County
Away from Farmer Smith.
ADMINISTRATION NOT ENDORSED

BY the Me PhersOn County Convention
as Simpson Desired-Farmer Smith
DIdn't Want H.
The Republicans of Mcpherson county
held their convention Saturday for the
nomination of county officers.
Mcpherson county is the home of
Farmer Smith and Railroad Commits
sioner Jim Simpson. The latter was
Smiths loader in 1888 and in 1892 when
Smith was nominated for governor
Simpson was chairman of the Republican
state central committee and the party
went down to defeat. Then Simpson
deserted his old friend and Joined the
Morrill, crowd. He thus did the Morrill,
forces good service in killing off Farmer
Smith who was considered MorrilPs chief
antagonist and was rewarded with a soft
job on the board of railroad commissions
ers as soon as the Republican party came
back into power.
During the past two years Jim Simp-
son has not rested under Farmer Smiths
apple tree out on his Groveland farm.
Jim often went out to the Smith home
stead, and under the leafy boughs of the
farmers apple tree politics was discussed
and schemes Matched.
But this is all changed now Farmer
Simpson betrayed Farmer Smith for a
"mess of potash" and Farmer Smith
knows it, and that's why they barely
speak as they pass by.
Farmer Smith came up smiling in the
Mcpherson county convention Saturday
as a delegate from Groveland township.
He was not prominent in the makeup of
the committees, but he got in his work
all the same.
Jim Simpson would have been willing
to contribute months salary if he could
have worked through resolutions endors-
ing the Morrill, administration. He tried
it all right, but it wouldn't work.
Farmer Smith was there to see that
Jim should not rub it in on him any
more, and the convention was with
Smith. The resolutions have a kind of
Smithy favor and read as if they had
been prepared under that apple tree in
Groveland township.
No, ''the wise, patriotic and business
like administration of Governor MOrrilP'
was not endorsed by Farmer Smiths
convention. About the only consolation
Jim got out of it was this resolution,
which many county conventions are
adopting in lieu of "the wise, patriotic,
business-like" declarations which are
fixed up at the state house and sent out
to the trusted Office holders:
"Wo congratulate the state on its re-
demptiou from Populist misrule and
demagoglsm and q return 90 the prin-
ciples that have made Kansas the won
der and admiration of the world"

PROF. CLEAVES TO LEAVE.
Takes the Chair Of Oratory in the Uni
Versity of Denver.

Prof Fordyce P. Cleaves will leave
the latter part of the week for Denver to
take the chair of oratory and dramatic
art in the University of Denver.
Mr.. Cleaves was formerly professor OF
oratory at Washburn college, but for the
past year has been associated with the
Institute of Arts and Languages. His
departure will be a severe loss to the
institution. His success during the past
year has been considerable, and he has
worked up an interest in his art by
which other teachers may profit, now
that he is going away.
The professor has been identified
with almost every home talent play
given in the city in the last few years
He says his work during the past year
has been pretty heavy and it will be
lighter in Denver.

The committee found that they had re-

claimed for killing dogs. The committee
thought that the bill should be itemized

bills more explicit.
The bill came is as requested this
