Las Vegas Hotel to Be Turned
Into a Sanitarium.
It Has Never Paid Expenses as
a Hotel.
Items of Interest About Kansas Rail
road Matters-PersOnals and
Miscellaneous.

The Montezuma hotel at the Las We
gas, New Mex, hot springs, will proba-
bly, be transformed into a sanitarium
and health resort in the near future.
The Las Vegas Hot Springs company,
an auxiliary company of the Santa Fe
of which Mr.. Ripley is president, owns
the hotel and grounds.
The big hotel was built several years
ago, but has never paid the operating
expenses for a continued time. A por
ton of the time it has been closed, and
is so now. Some time ago Dr.. G. W.
Bailey, an eastern physician who is in
terested in sanitarium work, was sent
TO Las Vegas by Mr.. Ripley to look over
the ground with a view of turning the
hotel into a health resort. After his re-
turn to the east this was apparently de-
cided upon as he left soon after for Eu-
rope to visit and inquire into the fea-
lures of European sanitariums. He is
at present in Berlin, and it is thought
that on his return to this country the
work of establishing an up-to-date
sanitarium at Las Vegas will be COM
menced.

A BRYAN SILVER CLUB.
Organized With 100 Names In
the Fifth Ward.
Reporter Asked Not to Print
Names of Members
Because Many Were Afraid They
Would be Discharged if it Were
Known They Were for Free
Silver, Such is the Ter
rorism Exercised

The first steps in the organization of
a number of Bryan Free Silver clubs
in this city were taken by the free sill
yer voters of the Fifth ward in LuIPs
hall last night. A preliminary meeting
was held, and the meeting adjourned
to meet Friday evening in zane's hall
at the corner of Seventeenth and Clay
streets. A permanent organization will
be established and officers elected at
this meeting.
Samuel Jones, ex-member of the Re-
publican central committee, was chos-
en- temporary chairman last night and
H. G. Frazier, temporary secretary. 1t
was decided that the name of the club
would be the Bryan Free Silver club
of the Fifth Ward" and the following
preamble to the membership roll was
adopted;
1--WE, the undersigned voters of the
Fifth ward, believing in the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 TO 1,
without waiting for the action of any
other nation on earth desire to be-
come members of the Bryan Free Sill
yer Club of the Fifth Ward"
A committee composed of Messrs
Chesney, Snyder and Wingart were
appointed to arrange for a permanent
meeting pidcSs anu report dl lAS neat
meeting.
After the adoption of the preamble
last night. signatures were asked for
and 81 secured in a few minutes. This
number, together with the names Sc
cured by petition within the last few
days brings the membership to 100.
The Journal reporter examined the roll
and counted the names. OF this num-
Der half were said to be ex-Republi-
cans. It was requested that the en-
rolled names be not printed as many
of the men are employees of corpora
lions where to be known as out and out
silver men might be detrimental to
their positions.
It is expected, so say the promoters
of the club, that fully 200 more names
will be secured within the next week

LEwELLING FOR SENATOR.
Deal on Foot in sedgwick County to
Start His Boom.


Wichita, Aug 12-Ex-Governor Le-
yelling came to the rescue of the Dem
ocrats yesterday by announcing that
his name should not go before the
county convention for the office of state
senator.
After the two committees were ap-
pointed by the Populists and Demo-
cratic central committees to agree up
on a division of the county offices. the
committees virtually agreed to report
to the full central committee of the two
parties that the division should stand
giving the Democrats state senator,
commissioner and county attorney. This
agreement was perfectly satisfactory
to the members of the two sub-com-
mittees.
Jerry Simpson realizing that some
thing must be done after the Abilene
convention to keep Lewelling and his
following in line wired Kies, so it is
said, to start a move on foot to have
LeWelling doomed for state senator.
This was done, and all day Saturday
Lewelling was being doomed for state
senator and for time it looked as
though kies would succeed in break
ing the compact made by the sub
committee of the Democrats and Pop
ulists.
During this time Jesse Haymaker
was in hot water. It seems that while
he was at Chicago he had given it out
cold that he would represent this SEN
atOrial district at Topeka for the next
four years, and if the agreement was
not knocked in the head that his cake
would be dough.
Early yesterday morning he appeal
ed to RUFF Cone, so it is said, and be-
seeched RUFF to see Lewelling and have
him refuse. At first Cone was rather
taken with the Lucien Baker plan and
believed that Lewelling would stand
better show to succeed PETER in the
United States senate by being in on
the ground floor, but the willy Jesse
held up the plum that if Democrat
was sent he would be able to secure
more votes for L. D. Lewelling than
even that gentleman should he be
senator himself and agreeing if the
programme was carried out as had at
first been agreed upon that he, Hay
maker would vote for L. D. Lewelling
to succeed PETER.
When the proposition to nominate
Haymaker for state senator was first
spoken of to Lewelling he did not take
kindly to the matter but when Cone
informed him how this agreement
would slap Kies for his treachery who
was willing to sell out governorship
for the mere prospect of helping him
to consummate poor newspaper deal
the ex-governor was not slow to catch
on and he authorized his man Friday
&C. w. Peters, to pass the word along
the line that he would not be a candi-
date and was willing TO stand by the
agreement of these two committees.

President f. P. Ripley of the Santa

The latest move in which the company

steamship line to Japan which will
make direct connections with the Santa

opposition to the Occidental and ORR

controlled by the Southern Pacific road
and its establishment is bound to re-

The new steamship company is COM
