occurred about two weeks ago in Wag-
gener's office at Atchison. 1t lasted
half a night
While Horton is not an avowed can

dark morse candidate in every cam

each time the conditions were unfavor-

AS the contest over Senator PETERS
seat draws near, Horton sees that so
far as the Republican aspirants are
concerned the fight has narrowed down
to Ingalls, and j. Ralph Burton, with
their chances about equal. He also sees
that the powerful influences of the San
ia F'e and Rock Island railroads are
favorable to Burton.

fell In with the idea.
Waggener also suggested that If In

elect, his whole strength might be
thrown to Horton as a dark horse. Civ

win the prize himself for there never
was a time when Albert H. Horton
could not get some votes. no matter
what sort of combinations had previ-

Waggener then presented the case to

SPREADING DIPHTHERIA.
Nan With Malignant Case Walking
About Unconscious Of It

One Of the most peculiar features
among malignant disease Of any kind
is the fact that it is practically pain
less. This was probably why John OIL
son, OF All Lawrence street. was not
aware that he had a full hedged and
dangerously malignant case OF diph-
iberia, and came up town this morning
to consult a physician for a slight irri-
tation Of the throat. The physician
found his throat and SOFT palate COM
pletely covered with diphtheritic mem
brane
Olson has been troubled with an ir-
ritation Of the throat for the past two
days, and it is probable that the dis
ease has been seated for at least p
hours. In such a condition he was a
menace to all persons with whom he
came in contact. and If some OF the peo-
pie who held recent conversations with
him are attacked with diphtheria it
VIII not be surprising. He was sent to
his home Immediately after the exami-
nation, and the house and all its occu-
pants quarantined.
