MORRILL, ON BRYAN.
The Governor Says the Whole Coun-
try Can Now Observe PopuIistic
Methods

Gov. Morrill, is quoted as saying In
regard to the nomination of Vim. J.
Bryan for the presidency:
1T is yet too early to form an intel
igent opinion of the situation in Kan
sas. The fight is certain to be close.
When the enthusiasm dies down, how
ever, I believe the Democratic party
will stand aghaSt at what they have
done. Never since the foundation of
the American government have the
people tried such an experiment as the
nomination of man only 81 years of
age, whose qualities are totally IN
he can address a. crowd and move the N
by appealing to their prejudices and
their fancied wrongs. There is one
thought which occurred to me this
morning which afforded me considera-
BILE qualification. The nation at large
will now have an opportunity to taste
a little of the campaigning presented
by the Populists all these years in
Kansas.
ct and the Populist party in full chase
at it's heels, the United States will be
given a grand opportunity to inspect
the spectacle of a. campaign made on
the theory that government can legis-
late away all ills of mankind, and that
by a simple turn of the financial wrist
prosperity can be made to cross every
mans doorstep.
I believe the sober second thought
of the American people will condemn
the action of the Chicago convention.
In Kansas we have a very close fight,
and we might as well frankly admit it,
but never before has the Republican
party of our state been in better cOndi-
ton to make this fight aggressive"

POLICEMAN VAUGHAN QUITS.
Finds Official Life Too Hard on His
Feet.

Kansas City Kan, July 13.-Ira
Vaughan was appointed a patrOlman
on the Kansas City, Kan, police force
three weeks ago. Last evening he pre-
scented his resignation to the board and
declared to fellow policemen that he
had found that policeman's work was
not so soft a thing as it was commonly
reputed to be. His feet were kept so
sore that he could hardly walk, and
he otherwise showed the effects of hard
labor.
He stood up under it as long as he
could, thinking that he would become
accustomed to it. The board accept
ed the resignation, but appointed no
one else in his place. No other bust
ness was done.

SUNDAYS GAMES.

possible defeat.

Congressman Calderhead spent a half
hour with him in talking of the pro-
posed visit. It appeared to the Ohio
man as being most capital idea, and
he assured Major Davidson that if Nc
Kinley went into Kansas to attend the
soldiers meeting that the people of CEN
trail and western Kansas might expect
him to extend his run to Fort Riley.
Should Mckinley visit Fort Riley, it
will probably be about the time of the
proposed fall maneuvres in which the
department of the Missouri viii partici-
pate, and will be the occasion of the
greatest military demonstration Kan

morning Sire was discovered in the boil
er room of the Merchants Terminal ele-
vator, located at Second and Biddle

as quickly as if it had been so much
paper. The whole north portion of the
city was illuminated for many miles
and such heat was thrown out that the
work of the fremen was cry difficult

About thirty minutes after the fire
broke out a 200 foot smoke stack fell,
narrowly missing the fremen below.
John A. Ryan, president of the COM
pany estimated that the loss would be
at least $500. 900. The elevator contained
many thousands of bushels of grain.
