NO NEWS
OF DYCHE.
The X. Z. Professor Last Heard
From July II,
He Said He Would Be Back By
September 1.
SEEKING THE POLE.
He Is Believed to Be on Such {
Mission.
Will Try to Reach the Pole By
the Western Passage.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept 1S.-The con-
tlnued absence of Prof. L L Dyche,
OF the state university, who accom-
panied Peary on his former trip north,
leads to the belief that he is in search
OF route to the north pole by way of
Alaska and the western passage. Prof.
Dyche was last heard from under date
of July II, when he was in Alaska. He
started west OStensibly to collect speci-
mems for the state university, while it
was also asserted his intentions were to
recover the meteor which he discov-
cred in Greenland last summer Chan
ceIIor Snow denies the last theory, but
does not say that Dyche is not intent
on reaching the north pole
When Prof. Dyche left last spring it
was with the assurance to friends that
he would be at home the last of Au-
gust or the first of September and be
on hand for the opening of the school
year at Kansas university. Prof. Dyche
was very slow to talk about his trip
before starting, and it was not known
to any but personal friends that his
journey was in contemplation until he
had started.
To add to his delayed home coming.
there has been no word received from
him since a letter dated July II was re-
ceiVed. This letter was written in
Alaska and said he was about to start
for Cooks inlet. 1t was one of two
letters written TO his wife since his de-
paTluIG from the C4lys ana IuOS0 TWO
letters have contained the only infOr-
nation about the professor that has
been received in Lawrence since he has
been away.
Before leaving, Prof. Dyche told
friends that he might possibly be de-
layed in getting back on account of the
irreguIarity of the steamships that ply
in that country, and Chancellor Snow
believes this is what is OBTAINING him.
The ships run little Oftener than once
a month, and by missing one passage
be would be delayed thirty days longer
than expected, with no way to get
news home
Prof. Dyche has held, in various lee
lures and interviews, that the pole
could best be reached through the west
ern passage instead of the eastern pass
age by which nearly all former ex-
plorers have gone.
It is thought that he went to Alaska
with the collection of specimens as
secondary consideration, and that he
first of all wanted to ascertain the pos
sibility of reaching the north pole
through the Alaskan route. Prof. Dyche
would say nothing about this part OF
his pIans-if it was a part when he
started-to any one, and had said a
number of times that he did not want
people to know when he went on a
north pole expedition again, as 1t
caused too much talk and the chances
for failure were so many.

A NEW PARTY.
The Anti-MOrrilI Element
Among the Republicans
Are Organizing to Put Up a
Ticket.
THIS is THE TENOR
Of a Story That Comes From
Fort Scott.
Prohibition Candidate For Gov
ernOr to Be Withdrawn.

Kansas City, Mo. Sept 18.-A special
to the Star from Fort Scott says:
That there is to be sprung within the
next few days by the prohibition ele-
ment opposed to Governor MOrrilPs re-
election new factor in the Kansas
campaign is authOritatively stated in
this city today by those interested IN
the movement. There will it seems
beyond doubt. be a coalition Of all the
Republican prohibition elements against
Governor Morrill,, upon a new candidate
for governor.
The two heads of the Prohibition
tickets are to be Withdrawn and a new
candidate upon whom all viii unite IS
being worked quietly by correspond
ence and conference and the plans are
said to have been completed.
A meeting of some of the leading
members of the two factions of the
Prohibition party was held at Baldwin
on Monday of this week and a plan OF
action was discussed Another meeting
will be held today or tomorrow when
further action will be taken. The plan
that was proposed at the Monday meet
ing and which is now under advisement
is to Withdraw the names Of the candi-
dates for governor and attorney gen
eral on both of the Prohibition tickets
and that a committee to be composed
of three from each of the factions and
three antf-Morriu Republicans, be ap-
pointed to meet and nominate a can
didate for each of these places on the
ticket.
This plan has been submitted to the
leaders in each party and also to some
of the Prohibition Republicans that
were not present at the meeting and
upon hearing from them it is proba-
BILE that final action viii be taken 1t
is confidently claimed by those that are
ba7ip5 the movement that if such a
plan were agreed on and suitable cam
didates put up, the joint ticket would
poll $4,000 votes in the state. Definite
action will be taken Immediately as
there is only about two weeks in which
nominations can be made and certified
to the secretary of the state to be
placed on the official ballot.

A GOOD STORY FOR BOYS
Who Have Inolinations to Run Away
From Home.

A sad scene was witnessed by the
deputies at the county jail this morn
ing, but such things are not uncommon
and they were not deeply affected.
A stylishly dressed, middle aged
gentleman appeared at the jail and
asked to see Rolf Sherwood, the lb
year old boy arrested for stealing
small sum of money from a man named
Allen who keeps a second hand store
on lower Kansas avenue.
He was shown to the inside corridor
where the boy was locked with other
prisoners. Young Sherwood no sooner
caught sight of the visitor than he bur
led his face in his hands and burst in
to fit of weeping. The gentleman
tried to talk to him. but the boy was in
consoIable. and it was some time be-
fore he was enough composed to listen
to the gentleman.
The visitor was W. F. Sherwood Of
Carthage, Mo, and Rolf Sherwood IS
his son. Mr.. Sherwood is q prominent
citizen of Carthage and is president Of
the Carthage Driving and Racing as
SOciatiOn.
Four weeks ago last Sunday evening
Rolf Sherwood told his parents that
he intended to 60 to church. He prom
ised to come home early, but he never
came. That night in company with an
older boy he left Carthage, and until
Mr.. Sherwood received a letter from
Sheriff Kepley a few days ago, no word
had been heard of his son.
Every effort possible has been made
to find him. kilograms were sent. but
the boy eVaded any one VINO might
have detained him. He came to Tope-
ka out of money and secured work at
a second hand store. His work was
hard for he was compelled to handle
stoves and furniture. and it was not
long until the boy, who had tired OF
home, began to long to go back. he
had no money, but one day he decided
to rob his employer, for he knew where
the money was kept in a bureau in the
back part of the establishment.
He got the pocketbOok unObserved-
He thought if he took the train for
home he would be caught, and so he
started out to walk across the country.
He had not gone far until he was over
taken by Under Sheriff Lucas and
locked in jail.
Justice Of the Peace Furry fined the
boy $50 and as he had no money, he
was sent to jail where he was found
this morning by his father.

NEW YORK BY 100000.
These Figures Ought to Suit the Most
Enthusiastic Republican.

Washington, D. G., Sept. 18.-''Mfn-
nesOta can be placed in the Republican
column said General Pierce of Mime
apolis today. In speaking of the stu
alton in his state Mr. Pierce said: Had
the election occurred earlier, Bryan
might have stood some chance in Min
nesota, but his opportunity is gone, and
Nick inley will get the electoral vote be-
yond question:"
What majority will New York give
for Mckinley" William Brookf1eld was
asked on his return from Europe yes
terday.
TT will be higher than anything I
saw while in the Alps was the re-
jOinder. 4 am glad to be back in time
to add one vote to the stack"
Chairman Hackett of the Republican
state committee of New York was asked
the same question. BASED on the re-
suit in Maine and Vermont he said,
1--WE have figured out that New York
ought to give more than 500, 900 major
ity. The same causes that gave the
overwhelming vote in Vermont and
Maine will have similar result in this
state"

wicks was a Little Wicked.

rhos. w WicBs of Leavenworth, put
on his Modern WOOdman uniform yes
terday morning and boarded the train
for Topeka. Toward evening he began
to celebrate with the spirits. After sup
per he was painting the town a deep
red on East Sixth street when he spied
a horse and buggy. He united the
horse and climbed into the buggy. The
horse was driven at a lively gait and
all was well until Wicks ran into
trolley pole and broke the buggy and
tore off part of the harness. Then he
mounted the horse and began riding it
on the sidewalks. Patrolman Hale
found him and he was taken to the po-

ONLY A STATE CAMPAIGN.
The Democratic Nominee in New
York Will Abjure National Issues.

Buffalo, Sept 1S-The work of the
Democratic state convention here yes
terday reveals some interesting changes
in the New York political field.
1t is a significant fact, that the state
organization leaders who heretofore
controlled the conventions of this party
are still at the helm.
Senator Hill, Senator Edward Murphy,
ex-Lieutenant Governor w. F.Sheehan,
smaller lights of the party who serve
under these mems banners are up-
dOubtedly satisfied with the work of
the convention. It had been predicted
troll of the state convention and that
they themselves would practically be
read out of the party in order to make
room for more youthful aSpirants- The
result of the convention is this:
A ticket made up of strict Organiza-
ton men has been nominated. The Sc
lection of the leaders who did not at
tend the convention has been adopted
for chairman of the state committee;
the national committeeman to be Sc
lected next week will be a man favor
able to the organization leaders and
the platform is not as radical as it was
intmated some weeks ago it would be.
Those who are inclined to be eX-
tremely radical in their silver belief
will unite on the platform.
The refusal of Tammany to indOrse
the candidacy of one of it's own mem
DeTS. William SulZer. was not due to
any personal objection to him, but rath-
er as was explained by Senator Grady.
because it was believed that Tammany
would embarrass itself and be accused,
in the event of Mr.. Bryan's defeat of
selling out the natioal ticket to secure
the election of one of its members to a
state office.
It is very generally conceded among
the more prominent of the delegates
that the selection of Mr.. Thacher and
Mr. Porter will not be successful in
preventing the gold standard men from
nominating a third ticket.
Albany, Sept. 18.-John Boyd Thach-
er, the Democratic gubernatoriaI nomi-
nee, has decided that he would make
public a statement during the early
part Of next week, as he wishes it to be
published before the state convention
of the gold Democrats in Brooklyn on
Thursday He will either make his
statement at a mass meeting in this
city on Monday or Tuesday night of
next week, when the Democratic ma
tional and state tickets are to be rati-
fed, or else in letter to the voters of the
state. He has decided to follow the
course of Senator Hill in his campaign
and confine himself to the state issues.
