An Odd Situation.

The conscience and pride of good citi-
zenship of G. Green of Mcclure, Kan,
got to working together recently and
produced an odd situation. Mr.. Green
got intoxicated, boisterous and dis
agreeable during a visit to the neigh
boring town of Pittsburg, and created
considerable disturbance on the streets.
He was not arrested. A few days later
he appeared before the county attorney
at Pittsburg and swore out warrant
against himself for disturbing the
peace. He was arrested, arraigned,
pleaded guilty. paid his fine, and went
home with a shriven conscience.

l. G. Lawrence of Chanute has taken
the position of chief clerk and cashier

By abolishing the office of Charles

department, have been thrown out of
employment.
Last month the "Katy" did an UMPIRE

trainmen, especially those in the motive
department, will come in for a great big
slice of money the coming pay day.

A BITTER HOME CONTEST.
The Topeka Fight for One of the
Twenty Places.
JOHNSON, ANDERSON AND LELAND.

Shawnee's Chances for Losing More
Than She VIII Gain
Topeka is in an unfortunate wrangle
over fight for delegates to the national
convention, and indirectly for national
committeeman,
There are twenty delegates to be Sc
lected from the state. Only six of these
are to be chosen by the convention. which
meets at Wichita March 10. The other
fourteen are selected by the congression-
al districts-two from each.
1t is not impossible that Major Ander-
son, Captain johnson and Cy Leland may
all be delegates when the complete list
is selected.
Major Anderson declares he is against
Leland, but still the latter's forces may
take advantage of the situation here and
use the major to rake out the chestnuts.
1t is to be deplored that Topeka has
this three cornered contest which may
prevent US from securing the convention
to nominate the state ticket.
The JOURNAL does not point out a
direct way to a happy solution but trusts
the problem will be solved and bitter
fight and loss of prestige and strength
be avoided.
In an interview with a JOURNAL re-
porter Major Anderson said today: II
am opposed to the Leland ring and to
the proposed formation of the new ring
by any parties. am opposed to all rings.

BURTON TALKS WITH PLArr.

Platt Stays Away From the Theatcr and
COnfers Two Hours With Him.
When ]. R. Burton was in New York
on his recent eastern trip, according to
the New York Advertiser, he held long
consultation with Tom Plat and Mr..
Hackett, the manager of Levi p Nor
toms presidential boom.
In story about Mr.. Burton and his
New York visit, the Advertiser said
among other things:
"The alliance between Ingalls, and
friends of Mckinley was too open not to
be recognized, and too formidable not to
be respected. Mr.. Burton came to this
city to get the best advice possible. Like
a good politician, he lost no time in so
doing. He Immediately sent up his card
to Ex-senator Plat. 1t was a fortunate
circumstance for Mr.. Burton that Mr.
Plat had broken through a rule of his
life and had not gone to the theater, as
is his custom on Saturday night Per-
chance Mr.. Plat had a premonition that
the Kansan might call on him.
'tBe that as it may, Mr. Burton was
shown to Mr.. Platt's apartments, where
he remained for nearly two hours.
Shortly before the conference was con-
cluded, Mr.. Hackett, who is manager of
Mr.. Morton's boom, was sent for by Mr..
Plat. There are some things the rela-
ton of which would not fatter the
imaginative power of the reader. This is
one of them. Mr.. Burton is not half SO

LEWELLING NOT AYERSE.
BreidenthaI and Costigan Tease Him
to Run,
AND Hs WILL MAKE THE RACE

If His Party Tenders the Nomination
40 Him With n ChesterIeIdian Cor
Perhaps DuttOmfan) Bow
The statement sent out from Wichita a
few days ago that Ex-Governor l. D.
Leweiling had determined TO decline
denomination for the governorship seems
to have been premature.
Mr.. w. ]. Ccstigan, editor of E. Fl.
Shows paper, has returned from visit
to Governor dwellings home at Wich-
tia, and he said to a STATE JOURNAL re-
PORTER today:
Governor dwellings, position is just
this: He would personally prefer not
to go into another campaign as a candi-
date, but he is receiving hundreds of let
tiers from members of the Populist party
from all parts of the state insisting that
he must do nothing aud say nothing that
will in the least embarrass him should he
be called on to accept nomination. The
facts are the rank and file of the POpu-
list party want to see Lewelling renomi-
mated, but the politicians are against him
just as they have always been. Knowing
this to be so. he has made up his mind
that he will do what seems best for the
good of the party, and he is really in
the hands of his friends"
Continuing, Mr. Costigan said: "The
facts are the politicians usually included
in the gang are against Lewelling end
the only persons in the party who are
doing any talking against him are lot
of fellows who are riding over the state
on Santa Fe passes trying to poison the
minds of the people.
Governor Lewelling is not am bilious
to get into active politics again, and he
particularly dislikes to because of the
way his family objects. As a matter of
fact Lewelling would have re-
fused denomination before
had he not been pleaded with to allow
himself to be a candidate for the good of
the party. 1t was only after John
Breidenthal and 1 pleaded long and
earnestly with him that he decided not
to decline a denomination.
HE thinks now just as he did then. but
if his party demands his service he will
not refuse. He is il the hands of his
friends"

A CUT OF TEN PER CENT
To Be rIade in Santa Fe Wages, and
Salaries,
so IT is RUMORED TODAY.

1t is Said tSse Cut VIII Extend From

A rumor has gained circulation in rail-
road circles today to the effect that a cut
of 10 per cent is to be made in IA sal
aries of the heads of all departments
commencing with General Manager Frey
and extending through the various
branches of office and mechanical work.
Whether this will apply to the salary
of President Ripley and the other Off

order such move, President Ripley
would. in order to maintain the prinei-

his own salary.

Three boys playing around an abandon

North Topeka, near the Santa Fe tracks,
last evening, found fully developed in

ruined shanty.
The boys were D. W. Zeigler, Arson

WHY IT'S HOPELESS.
a Few Figures About lResubnissIon by
Man Who Isn't PrOhIbitionist.

w. H. Campbell. better known as
Campbell of Stafford shows that he
has been watching the way the wind
blows. He says:
'But few of the common people know
how utterly hopeless is the cause of re-
submission. There has never lin the last
four sessions of the legislature at leasD
been any demand for resubmission ex-
cept from three or four of the larger
cities of the state. Each of those cities
control the election of but one state sena-
tor, while it would require at least 81
state senators to pass a resubmission res
olution.
''Those cities control the election of but
IA or 10 representatives, while it would
require not less than "a votes in the
house of representatives to pass such
resolution. So you see all this talk about
resubmission is the purest buncombe. 1t
has not ghost of a show, no matter what
some of US may happen to think of pro-
hibition."
