HOW RILEY AYRES FEELS.

Says He Is Sore But Will support Burdgc
For Sheriff.
Riley Ayres, the candidate for sheriff,
who set Dave Burdge a merry pace at
the primaries a week ago, is in Topeka
today. He says, "In some of the pre-
cincts the returns were a surprise to me.
Rossville especially fell far short of
what 1 had reason to expect l received
"a votes and Burdge got SO. At my
home in Silver Lake 1 got 148 votes to
Burdge's 10. 1 expected to carry Ross
vile by nearly the same figure 1 carried
the Lake.
81 have only one sore spot on me and
that was made by John Howerton at
Rossville. 1 would as soon have sus-
pected my brother of betraying me as to
have Howerton do it; but he did. He
made deal with the sheriffs office by
which he turned traitor to me in return
for the support of the sheriff's Office, for
clerk of the court next year.
81 did not like the reports that I was
being backed by the whisky crowd, but
| didn't care so much about this as some
of my friends did The only votes
Burdge got in Silver Lake were lot of
old soaks that I wouldn't have. If tho
truth were known Burdge got as many
liquor votes as | did.
"You can say for me that l am for the
nominee. l will vote for Dave Burdge
and work for him against any combina-
ton the opposition may put up. That's
the kind of Re publican l am"

PRESUMPTUOUS BLACKMAN
Tries to Make an Appointment With
White Girl and Is Arrested.

Tries to Make an Appointment With a
White Girl and Is Arrested.
A great deal of righteous indignation
is expressed towards Simon Jones,
colored young man % years old, who
was arrested last night. Jones wrote
note to a respectable white girl at Third
aud Taylor streets, who is only Is years
old He addressed her as kind Miss"
and asked where he could meet her.
The note was sent to the house last
evening and she gave the note to her
mother. None of the family knew who
Simon Jones was, but later in the even
ing he appeared near the house and
loafed around the corner as though
waiting for someone. He was recog-
nized, although the girl says she never
saw him but once before in her life.
The matter was reported to the police
but Jones had gone before the officers
came. Officer Gaines went to Jones'
house at 1854 Buchanan street to arrest
him Jones declared he would not go,
and drew a knife as though to mako
good his determination. The sight of
the officers loaded revolver quelled his
ferocity.
In court today Jones' case was con-
tinued until tomorrow. Simon Jones is
a brother of Peter Jones, who was killed
by Will Link in a cutting scrape last

Freight traffic on 1.-The Burlington "

There Is much truth and philosophy
in the following reflection: "Big
crops are benefit to the country even
though they bring low prices. They
reduce the cost of living to wage
earners; they increase the carrying
business Of the railroads, and furnish
more employment to men in that line,
and the surplus fed to cattle and hogs,
or exported, always brings some
money into the country. The bounti-
full haryests of the present year may
not bring the prices to the farmers
which the latter hoped for, but they
constitute sure basis of prosperity,
and by increasing the general business
activity they will help the farmer
in more ways than zone"

A Lost State.

The United States, compared with
the nations of the old world, is but a
creation of yesterday, and it is seldom
that one can dig up forgotten facts in
its history. How many know that
there was once estate of Franklin :"
organized, though never admitted to
the Union? The present state of
Tennessee was originally part of
the grant of lands made by Charles II,
to the colony of North Carolina.
Subsequent to the Revolutionary War,
in the year 1884, the Legislature of
North Carolina passed an act ceding
to the United States all that part of
their state lying west of the noun
tains. Supposing this would be
accepted by congress, the people of
Washington. Sullivan and Green
counties declared themselves in
dependent of North Carolina, and
organized the estate of Franklin"
In 1855, however, North Carolina
repealed the act Of cession of the
previous year, but these counties
remained out until 1888, when they
again acknowledged the sovereignty
of the "Old North State" This was
the first accession that occurred in
our country, but no fuss was made
and it died out quietly. In 1890
North Carolina again coded the
territory to the general government,
and shortly after Tennessee was organ
lied and admitted to the Union,
Since then many new states have been
added in the West and Northwest,
and to all the principal cities and
towns of eleven of them the Burltng-
ton Route is the quickest and best
means OF communication. For
information about this railroad inquire
of your home agent or write to

Sunday, about 10 a. M, Jerome
futile, his wife and mother living in
White Oak Springs started for church,
and had scarcely left the house when
the house broke out into flames. Miss
Sarah Tuttle sister was at home with
an infant child. She heard crack
ling in the kitchen and on opening the
door the flames burst into the room
where she was. She rang the farm
bell and soon the neighbors appeared
on horses and on foot, but the fire was
too far advanced to save the house.
Part of the furniture was saved. A
large sum in gold, silver and paper
souvenirs was destroyed. The family
are domiciled with jerome Tuttle,
who occupies another house on the
farm.

Club lately held in this city, among
