STREET FOR SENATOR.
The Speaker Says He Would Accept
PETERS Job

Speaker Streets personal popularity
among the legislators has started for
him among some of the Sixth district
members, a boom for United States
senator.
Some of Streets close political friends
assert that the indications point to the
election of a state printer from the Sew
enth, Naugle of Wellington being the
man referred to, a result which would.
it is claimed, give Street great strength
and at the same time furnish a way
out of the present tangle, occasioned
by the large number of candidates.
To Journal reporter, Mr.. Street
said:
L really can not discuss this matter,
as I know but little about it. / have
heard of it several times today, but do
not know what will be done"
Are you a candidate for the posi-
ton - was asked.
We'll, 1 can't say that I am; neither
can say that 1 am not" replied Mr..
Street.
Twin you be an active candidate for
United States senator during the ses-
sion?"
well that's a hard question" re-
piled the speaker. I'll tell you" con-
tinued Mr. Street, 81 would be with
that place like I was with the speaker
ship. If the lightning strikes me, of
course I would accept the situation"
This statement from Mr.. Street is re-
garded as a practical announcement of
his candidacy to succeed Mr.. PETER.

WOMEN GO SLUMMING.
Break Into Gambling Den and Find

St. Paul, Jan. 13.-Although the South
Dakota prohibition law is of drastic
qualities, it seems that something is
necessary on occasion to keep hubby
in the straight and narrow path. For
example determined delegation of
women raided a billiard room at Cas-

ahounded with an unusual element of
personal interest. They first took in a.
pair OF shady resorts and then entered
the billiard room in question so quietly
that no alarm was given. Here were
congregated so or 40 fathers of the
town, lost in the depths of poker and
other soul absorbing games OF chance.
The voices of their angry, scandalized
spouses quickly brought them to re-

MAI. M'KTNLEY INSURES.
President Elect Takes Out Policy for
$4,000.

r. New York, JAM 13.-Maj. Mckinley
will begin his term of Office with $50
600 of life Insurance in full working or
der. In fact, the policy is already made
out and paid for although the major
has thought it best to say nothing
about the matter for the present
This is the first experience Mr.. Nc
Kinley has had as a man with his life
insured, at least for a good many years.
During most of his public life he has
been absolutely without protection of
this sort. After his nomination last
summer however, he determined to
take out a policy in some good compa-
ny, and diScreetly mentioned the
fact to some of his friends
The news spread like wildfire among
agents for life insurance companies. A
prize like that was worth working for.
Within a month after the nation knew
that Mr. Mckinley was in the race as
the chosen son of the Republican party
and when the steady stream of trains
bearing Mckinley admirers was just
beginning to turn towards Canton. ev-
cry life insurance company in the Unit
ed States that had any hopes whatever
of getting even an audience with the
preSident-tO-b be, or with any of his
friends, had sent one of its best men to
Canton to camp out for the rest of the
summer, or longer, II MI Mckinley
should not have expressed his choice
before fall.
So it was that with the increasing
number of visitors who found their way
insurance agents. They secured per-
manent quarters in the best hotels in
the town, some of them having adjoin-
ing rooms They never went out of
their rooms without having on their
bib and tucker and they all laid for
Mckinley"
Every man wanted to get a chance
to present the good qualities of his COM
pany to the next president, and he
wanted to do it at the most favorable
time and under the happiest circum-
stances.
During the long summer and the au-
tumn the agents staid on. Once in a
while one of them wound get a chance
to get in q word, but the major seemed
to be slow in deciding what he wanted
to do about it. Then the election came,
and with it victory for the Canton man.
But the victory seemed as far away as
ever from the insurance men
Finally the agent who had written up
Mark Hanna and came from Cleveland
got in his work" He worked for the
same company that paid big policies
after Garfield died, and again after the
death of President Arthur. Evidently
his company stood in well with the
Republicans so just a few days before
Christmas Mr.. Mckinley took his med
zeal examination, signed the necessary
documents, paid the first year S prem1-
UNI and got his policy.
Twenty minutes after he finally de-
cided on what company to insure in, a
telegram of victory, like to that famous
message of Caesars, reached the gen
eraI mana ger of that company from his
Canton representative. TWenty-four
hours later "a suites of rooms in the
best hotels in Canton were empty. while
one lone but happy agent stayed over
a few f3VS to celebrate.

MISS cox RETAINED.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Gust the
House Postmaster.

Miss May Cox of Ness county, post
master of the house, secured her office
after considerable difficulty. which her
friends claim was brought about
through the agency of a Ness county
citizen who feared that her election
would endanger his prospects for a po-
sitiOn.
The subject came up yesterday after
noon, when Hackney of Sumner moved
that a long list of employees, selected in
caucus, be elected upon one vote by
reclamation.
BotEin Republican of Reno) moved
to strike out the name of Miss Cox and
insert that of Mrs. Birdie Wagner.
This brought Brown of Pratt to his
feet with a motion to lay the amend
ment upon the table.
Mr.. Lobdell arose to suggest that
parliamentary law would carry the
whole list OF employees to the table
Weilep of Cherokee rushed across the
hall and whispered to Brown, who
hurriedly withdrew his motion to table
The question then REQUIRED to the
amendment which was defeated, where
upon Hackney's motion prevailed.

AN AMERICAN HENLEY.
Boatmen Take Steps to Provide a
Permanent Rowing Club

New York, Jan. 13.-The Herald says:
The efforts to establish an American
Henley on the Thames river at New
London has assumed such proportions
that success seems inevitable. The
committee in charge of the project
comprises representative men of the old
seaport town, and they will do all in
their power to make it pleasant for
their boating visitors
The regatta will be similar in scope to
the Henley of England and the thous-
ands of Oarsmen who are familiar with
the Thames at New London need not
he told Of its many advantages, both for
the competing crews and the sight
seerS. The water is seldom too rough
either for practice or races, and the eli
gible locations where suitable boat
houses are already built ard can be
erected, afford the quietest retreats
imaginable for the rowing men.
Valuable trophies will in good season
be offered for the following events:
Eight oars, four oars, pair oars and
single SOULS, and the last week in June
is regarded as the best time for hold
ing the regatta.

TO CAUCUS FRIDAY NIGHT.
The Populists Will Settle the State
Printer Eight.

The fight over the state Partnership
is one topic that is of interest to the
members of the legislature this week
There are so many candidates in the
field for the position, which is at pres
ent the best in the gift OF the legisla-
ture, in a financial way, that it is like
ly that the caucus that decides the
matter will be long one. There will
be 105 members in the caucus and there
are at present Is candidates for the po-
Sition.
The caucus will be held Friday night
at o'clock. Owing to the great num-
Der of candidates it is not likely that
the first two three ballots will indi-
cate who will be the ultimate nominee.
Many of the candidates will have less
than ten votes on the first ballot, but
it is thought that some of these Will
have as good a show OF making gains
as those that lead at first. The four
candidates general opinion says, that
will lead at first are w. L. Brown of
Kingman, Lyman Naugle of Sumner,
w. S. Parks of Republic and j. q. Lat
inner of Linn.
Some of the members and politicians
that have been talking the question
over in the hotel corridors are of the
opinion that Z. B. KieS OF SeCgWlck
will be one of the four and that Lati-
uer will not Each of the above four
or five will probably have more than
ten votes on the first ballot
The friends of Brown. Parks ard
NauEle each claim that their c2ndluate
will have nearly % on the first ballot
and that they will gain as soon as the
complimentary votes that Will be given
to the smaller candidates begin to leave
them.
candidates concede that the other two
of the three will have nearly 20 votes
on the first ballot. If the concessions
of each of these candidates to the other
two are correct, the three viii have
something like 90 votes of the 100 at
the start and this will only leave 40
votes to divide among the other II can
didates which would be less than four
apiece on an average
w s Parks is from Republic county,
which is one of the western counties in
the Fifth congressional district and it
is supposed that his strength will come
from the Fifth and Sixth congressional
districts His friends claim that he
will carry nearly the entire vote of
these two districts and will hold it.
Brown, Naugle and kies are all from
the Seventh congressional district and
will divide the vote of that district.
zach of them hope to get some OF the
votes of the Sixth district, because the
Deoplt of these two districts usually
stand together when they get into a
noliticaI convention or fight in the
grand lodge of the A. o. Z. w or some
Similar organization, and each of the
Seventh districts candidates is of the
opinion that Parks will not have the
entire support of his own district (he
