he had nothing whatever to do with the
death of MI Lamborn."

The new secretary has been, in the
past, one of the best known Republi-

member of the legislature from Riley
county in 1861
Captain Booth said today. 'sI want
to live long enough to see this state

to do 50. and my interest in the build

voted for the appropriation in 1867 for
the foundations of this building. There
were foundations for the building put
in before that, but a severe winter had
rendered them useless and new ones
had to be put in"
Captain Booth was also a member of
the house in 1873 and 1874 from Paw
nee county, and chief clerk of the house
in the sessions of 1875 and 1876.
In 1873 he was appointed receiver of
the United States land Office at Larned
and held that position until President
Cleveland's first term. He was chair
man of the Republican state conven-
ton which nominated Governor Hum
phrey in 1888; was chairman of the
state Republican committee that year
