TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. e.-J. X. Cub
bison of Wyandotte county announced
this morning that he was no longer a
contestant for the speakership. This
left Charles Z. Lobdell clear field,
and he was nominated by acclama-
ton. The caucus was held at 4
o'clock this afternoon in Representa-
tive hall.
Charles E. Lobiell was born at Osa-
watomie, Miami county, in 1861, and
was reared and educated at Eldorado,
Butler county, where he was admitted
to the bar and afterward became
county attorney. In 1887 he located
at Dighton, in Lane county, where he
now lives. His father was a captain
in the Fifteenth Kansas regiment, and
was a member of the Loyal Legion,
and upon his death the son inherited
the honor as the rules of the order
provide.
The Populist members of the house
were in caucus two hours this morn
ing but made no nominations. No
vote was taken on any question, but
the drift of sentiment was in favor of
going in with the Republicans and
making the organization of the lat
ter's caucus unanimous. Four years
ago, when the Populists had the
house by about the same majority the
Republicans now have it, the Repub-
leans made no nominations and voted
for the Populist candidates. The Pop
ulistR therefore, are now disposed to
return the compliment.

Jesse Morrison OF Leavenworth Shoots
at Two Men But Misses Both.
LEAvENwoBTH, Kan, Jan. s.-Joe
Giacomini, one of the proprietors Of
the National hotel, was shot at twice
in the hotel this morning by Jesse
Morrison, night toll collector at the
new bridge, because he was asked TO
pay twenty-five cents for breakfast
Both shots were fired when Morrison
was not ten feet away. and one bullet
passed so close to Giacomini's fore
head that it cut his sleeve on one
arm thrown up to protect his face.
Morrison quietly walked out on the
street and reloaded his weapon.
The police were notified, and when
Morrison saw them approaching he
ran to the Missouri Pacific yards, bent
on killing Yardmaster Charles Par
IRISH, and old enemy of strike days.
Before the police could overtake him
he met Parrish in the car repairer's
shanty, on the river, sprang upon
him like wild man and fred full in
his face, the ball grazing Parrish's
neck.
Parrish knocked his assailant down
with a chair and quickly disarmed
him. He was in the act of finishing
Morrison when the police rushed into
the shanty.
Morrison then wanted to kill him
self and swore that he would get
Parrish If he even had another OPP
pOrtunity.

pusned by Rich Man.

W
WARRINGTON, Jan Sensational
charges against United States Dis
trict Judge Augustus Kicks of Cleve-
land, are contained in a memorial
presented to the house of representa-.
tives to-day. Representative John
son OF Ohio secured immediate con-
sideration for a resolution instructing

gate the charges and without debate

fer in the decisions made by Judge
Kicks affecting Canadian copper and
nickel mines. The memorial covers
twelve typewriter pages and tells of
the discovery of valuable copper and
nickel deposits at Sudbury Junction
in Canada, by the memorialist in 1885,
which have become of worldwide fame
and have supplied all the nickel for
armor plates used in the United States
navy and by European governments.

corporations and to build connect
ing railway he associated with

Repeated at Bellaire, Ohio
Other laces Along the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. S.-Advices
from Southern Indiana report floods
resulting from the heavy rains of the
past twenty-four hours. The farmers
are suffering from the overfows and
more serious losses still are antici-
pated.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. s,-There is a
probability of food at this point if
the rivers continue to rise at the
present rate. There is a stage OF
seventeen feet in the Monongahela
and it is risingat the rate of eighteen
inches per hour.
BELLAIRE, Ohio, Jan. S.-The indica-
tions are that the great flood of 1884
will be repeated. The river is rising
rapidly in consequence of incessant
rains during the past thirty-six hours.
The ice in the Ohio river and its trib-
utaries broke up and ran out last
night Several barges were lost
Two bridges on the Cleveland, Lo-
raine and Wheeling railway were
washed away and trains could not be
run to-day.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Jan. s.-Rain
has fallen here steadily for the past
twenty-siX hours and the river is ris-
ing rapidly. At GAINESVILLE up the
Kanawha river, the water is twenty
three feet and rising.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. S.-The I'M
precedented rainfall here of 3.47
inches in the twenty-four hours end
ing at a. m, and of 3. 81 inches in the
past forty-eight hours, has had the
effect of carrying off the ice from the
river without any dana re whatever.
The river here is expect d to go above
forty feet but no disa 'rous flood is
expected, especially as the tempera-
ture is already falling and the rain
fall seems to be ended.

THE FRAZER CASE AGAIN,
Judge Philips Grants the Defendants
Motion for n New Trial

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. S.-Judge
Philips granted the petition for a new
trial of the Fraker insurance case at
noon to-day. The petition asked that
a new trial be granted on the grounds
that Judge Phillips overruled the OBJ
Jections of the defendants to the
jurors when the case was called for
trial, and on instructions given to the
jury by Judge Philips
Judge Philips had ruled that but
three peremptory challenges shonld
be allowed the five distinct parties to
the defense, on the ground that it
was a consolidated case. The SUI
preme court in the Hillmon case held
that in consolidated cases each party
has the right to three peremptory
challenges. Judge Philips censured
the attorneys for the defense sharply
for allowing him to fall into error at
the time they made the preemptory
objections to the jurors.

Tree Planting in Arid Sections Proposed
An Oklahoma Statehood Measure.
WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-A definite
plan to legislate for the reclamation
of the arid part of Western Kansas
was presented in the senate to-day
by Mr.. Martin. He proposes to throw
open to settlement April l of this
year all that section of the state
designated as sand hills, sand land,
sand drives, ETC. upon the terms that
within one year from the time of
making entry the person filing,
who need not necessarily live on the
land, shall plant ten acres
to pine trees, not less than 5000 trees
to the acre. At the expira ton of
three years final proof may be made,
regardless of the number of trees
then living, BEFORE probate Judge or
clerk of a strict court. The bill,
however expressly enables the tree
planter to at once cut off his trees
after making final proof, if he
chooses which would seem to prepare
in advance for the defeat of the re-
claiming purpose of the bill
Senator Martin to-day tried his
hand at Oklahoma statehood ma king
by introducing a bill for which he
took verbatim nineteen-twentieth of
the text of the bill prepared by Mr..
Wheeler of Alabama December IS.
All the voluminous measure that is
original with Mr.. Martin is found on
the first page and in four lines OF the
second-the part referring to the
new states boundaries. Mr.. Martin
proposes to add the six counties from
the Chickasaw country without yield
ing the Usage country back to the In
dian territory proper.
