The Democratic State Committee.

The meeting Of the democratic state
committee last Friday was a very mild
hammered affair. 1t was reasonable to
presume that there would be trouble,
but there was none.
In addition to the members Of the
committee present, ex-senator Martin,
Marshal Nicely, Railroad G Commissioner
Joe Lowe, Frank L. Webster, of Law
renee, David Overmyer, Eugene Hsgsn
and United States Attorney Perry were
in attendance. Charles Alexander, Of
Stockton, acted as chairman.
w. P. Tomlinson offered the follow
ing resolution and 1t was adopted:
Resolved, BY the members Of the democratic
state central committee Of Kansas, that on
account OF the independent candidacy Of
Charles X. Holiday for chief justice, it iS
deemed inexpedient to take any action In the
matter Of the nomination OF candidate for
chief justice.
After the passage Of appropriate
resolutions of respect in relation to the
death of Col. W. G. Jones, the COM
mittee adjourned.

Concordia reunion. It was not tistiC
encounter, but a war Of words. Mr.,
Kelly took occasion to interrupt the ex-
senator to make a few corrections In
his statements in regard to the state
administration. Mr.. Kelly didn't cover
the ground fully, so he held meeting
Of his own in the evening in which he
paid his respects to the present way Of
enforcing law, and he made use Of
some other strong language.
The populists, democrats and pro.
hibitionists of Franklin county nomi-
mated the following ticket Saturday,
and it will appear on the ballot under
each party head: Treasurer, Carl w.

Houston; coroner, Frank Vanshoiack;
commissioner, John Tapp. Mr.. Whsr-

good ticket made up Of good men.
The republicans of Scott county are
getting ready to make q tremendous
effort to down "Old Man Pancake. "
1t is not probable that they will sue
ceed. If they should, however, they
would turn down one of the most hon
est, conscientious, faithful men who
ever sat in the Kansas house Of repre-
sentatiyes. He was one who, in point
of ability and character, would COM
pare favorably with any redeemer who
was member of either house Of which
he has been a member, and who was
head and shoulders above most of
them.
In early days Morgan Heston was
banker at Norton. He made money,
hNt in 1893 he failed. Ellsworth In
gals was appointed receiver by the
federal court. The receivership WAS a
very extrsVagsnt proceeding, Ingalls,
being allowed an amount several times
what would be reasonable compenss-
tion. Then employees of the bank
took certain advantages of Heaton,
who was honest enough to turn over
his private property to satisfy the in
debtedness of the bank. A few days
ago he was in court, having begun an
action to recover some property of
which he had been dispossessed. One
of his former subordinates, who had
later gotten control Of the bank, gave
some testimony that so incensed
Heaton that he fred two or three
shots at him. At hearing on the lst
Heaton was adjudged insane and sent
to the asylum.

Deputy Warden Dave Nsill, of the

Captain Mcdowell, of Smith Center,

trying to get office. He tried for the

The product of Galens lead and zinc
mines average $S5, 900 per week. That
portion of the mines on the Missouri
side yield $4,000. The Missouri re.
ports, however, include the Galena
output, giving color to the impression
that Kansas is not In it in that line.
The facts are that the Gslens output
is greater than that of any one locality
in Missouri, and gives Kansas a very
prominent place as lead and zinc
producing state.
The Kingman Leader Courier rep J,
in speaking Of the republican judicial
convention, says: "Prstt county had
eight delegates, and for the purpose of
strengthening their county ticket they
worked for the nomination of G. H.

county stuck to its favorite." Our re-

to see a mossback democrat voted for
as "fsVorite" by a republican in q
republican convention.

A Kansas Mans Pluck.

froT. IL. u. Dyche, Of Kansas, and
more especially Of the Kansas State
university, gives an interesting account
Of the Peary relief expedition from
which himself and others have Just re-
turned on the steamer Kite. The relief
party consisted Of himself, DR.. Walsh,
Of the Washington university; Prof.
Salisbury, of the University Of Chi
cago; Prof. LaBouteleir, of the Geo
graphical Society of Philsdelphis; MI.
Diebitsch, brother-in-law of Peary.
Returning, they arrived at st. Johns,
N. B., September 2l, and in New York
a few days later, Prof. Dyche says:
eve left St. Johns on July IL, and
reached Godhayen, on Disco island,
July 20, and Jaeobhsven the next day.
There are about 200 natives there ana
they treated US to a dance. On July
2S we reached Melville bay, and on
July 81 were at Herbert island, only
thirty miles from Peary's quarters.
We tried to reach their camp by means
Of Sleds around the coast, but found
that impraCticable. On August 2 NIX.
Diebitsch and Prof. Salisbury crossed
the ice island, and at 3 o'clock the tol.
lowing morning arrived at Peary's
camp. / suppose 1t was very pleas
ant meeting. At all events, Peary and
his two companions lost no time ID
heading for the Kite, which they
reached at 2:90 p. m. August 4. They

In fact, they had a better supply OF

Something About Spanish

Editor Herald Neither the parties
who named the station in San Bernardo
no county "Del Rosa nor the officials
of the general postoffice at Washington
are right in their use OF Spanish names,
and il seems pity that Americans
should so often make themselves ridicu-
lous by their ignorance of the simplest
rules of the Spanish language. Rosa is
u feminine noun; ell (the) is masculine
article. Now, in Spanish. as we'll as IN
many other languages, the article must
agree, both in gender and number, with
the noun to which it belongs. To say Ell
rosa, or de Ell or del rosa, is, in the Span
ish idiom, preposterous mixing of gen.
ders that is enough to make a Spanish
scholar shudder. If the object was to
give station or postotfice name equiv
alent to the rose, or of the rose, it should
have been Gale / La Rosa, or De la Rosa.
Another glazing instance of the mix
ing of genders is that in which Lucky
Baldwin has named one of his fast
horses, "Rey Ell Santa Anita" whose
exploits have been telegraph.d all over
the country. Any of his vacqueros could
have told him that the giving of his horse
such a name would make him a laughing
stock among Spanish speaking people.
If his aim was to name mis- nag The KING
of Santa Anita, in Spanish, he would
have called him Ell Rsy de Santa Anita.

A FEW NEW
STORIES ABOUT GENERAL
NELSON A. MILES

"Few people have any idea OF the STRAIT
cgy employed by General Miles in his In
dian cam paigns," says Major Girard, who
is now stationed at Fort Sheridan, but
who was with General Miles on many
cam paigns against hostile Indian tribes
Of the northwest. Here is a little Incl
dent showing that he knew how to deal
with them and that in an emergency he
was quick to think and act and that his
measures were effective. Up on French
mans creek, near the British line, our
little band of 100 men was so placed that
ever gone felt trife uncomfortable.
Within twenty miles of our camp was a
band of 1000 Sioux warriors, armed and
anxious for a fight. The chief of the tribe
came to our camp for contab, with Gen.
eral Miles. Seeing that satisfactory and
peaceful settlement OF the difficulty could
not be made and knowing that the In
dian forces far outnum bered ours, and
that they were nearly as we'll armed Gen.
eral Miles ordered Hotchkiss gun to e
loaded and trained to bear on a rock a
mile away. At his command the gun was
fired. and OF course the rock was shatter-
ed, the pieces flying in every direction.
The astonishsd chief went back to his
camp and told his warriors that it was
best to leave Bear Coat alone, as his guns
shot twice-once at the muzzle and again
a mile off.
HE utilized Indian against Indian, and
DID not rely on any particular tribe of
man. In his band of scouts were repre-
sentatives of all the tribes-Blaokfeet.
Sioux, Crows, Pawnees, Arapahoes. Nez
Perces, etc., and in every Indian camp
within 500 miles he had his spies. whose
duty it was to report the course of action
decided upon by the war council. Con-
sequently he was enabled to anticipate
the movements of a hostile party and
meet them at such point that the adj
vantage was all ON his side and victory
was omparatively easy.
