PETERS WON'T RUN.
Says Nothing Gould Induce Him to
be a Candidate for Office.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
friends of Judge Samuel r. Peters of
Newton have been making a strong eff
fort to induce him to become a candi-
date for governor in the next Republi-
can campaign, he refuses to entertain
such an idea and 50 declared himself to
a reporter for the Journal.
No office in the gift of the people, -
he said, would cause me to consider
for one moment, giving up my law
practice. l expect to be in the next
campaign as a private in the ranks,
working for party success, but under
no circumstances will I become a can
didatefor governor or any other office. -
Asked if he had in mind a Republi-
can who would likely be put up, Mr..
Peters said:
ground over very carefully before max
ing selection, as it is my opinion we
will not have a Walk-aWay."
Discussing the action of county cen
trail committees in refusing to permit
sO-called silver Republicans to partici-
pate in the primaries and conventions,
Mr.. Peters said:
IF they are those who refuse to
abide by a decision of the majority of
the party, 1 should say that we do not
want them, unless they manifest a de-
sire and an inclination to go with the
majority in the future. A great many
men have drifted out of the party and
would now return if given an oppOrtu-
nifty. However, I do not believe in rad
ical movements. Unless these men
have declared themselves against the
majority Of the party do not believe
that it is the part of wisdom for sum-
mary action to be directed against them
by shutting them out of the party con-
ventions at this time"

ARMY OFFICERS WIVES.
CFrom the New York Mail and Ex-
press.l


press.1
A large part of the regular army is
now stationed about New York. The
whole army is passing through
change, of which the presence of these
troops here is an indication. 1t has
conquered the wilderness and returned
again to civilization. In the generation
that followed the war these small
bodies of soldiers have subdued prac-
tically all that country west Of the Mis-
souri, river, and have made life safe in
half a score of states that were then
the hunting ground of the rowing In
dian. The officers living at the seven
posts that encircle New York harbOr
are many of them, old Indian fighters,
and their families, now established
amid the luxurious surroundings of the
metropolis, have been accustomed to
the palmer fare and limited amuse-
ments of frontier encampment.
One is impressed in visiting an Of
ficer's community hereabouts that he is
among people who, although just as
cultivated, have led a different life than
the easterner. The evidence of a resi-
dence upon the Pacific slope is seen in
the Chinese house servants employed in
some of the families. While the man
ners of the men show the restraining
effect of their long discipline, the well
come of their families is freer and less
reserved than is common in civil life.
Feeling surer of their position, appar-
emily, the wives of the officers are en-
genuinely gracious, it would seem.
There is something buOyant and west
ern in their demeanOr. They give the
impression of being resourceful host
esses, and, indeed, they have won their
right to that title. With the proximity
of the theaters and the thousand and
one amusements of the metropolis, GER
tain of their qualities may be held in
allegiance, but yonder, on the Nebraska
prairie. or in the foothills of the Dal1o-
tas, they had full vent, and what with
private theatricals and concerts and
outings and hops and literary circles,
cheerful amid the monotony of a set
Element on the edge of the wilderness.

IT Is ALL PLAIN. NOW.

Having conquered the street car
world or at least that portion of it
included within the environment of
Chicago, and likewise the legislature
of Illinois, Mr. c. T. Yerkes, assisted
by Mrs. Yerkes II, has undertaken to
overcome the social world of New York
city.
AS q preliminary to the qualification
of this natural, not to say laudable am
hilton, Mr.. Yerkes, according to the
dispatches, has built a palace, the fur
nishings alone of which represent an
outlay of S600,O 600 In addition to this
he has expended 81. 500 900 on pictures
for the adornment of its walls with the
possible idea of establishing their
claims to a knowledge and appreciation
of art. Besides. all wealthy people of
standing in society buy pictures; s1O,-
900 was then expended on the Yerkes
bed and the fact was duly chrOnicled.
In addition to all this Mrs. Yerkes has
a poodIe-no well regulated esta blish-
ment within the realms of the 400 is
complete unless its mistress has a
poodle-and this particular poodle, the
public is informed, eats from a silver
plate. In the winter it wears a sealskin
cloak
With all this it is not yet recorded
that the Yerlzes have been accepted by
the 400. Since the Bradley Martins set
the pace by giving a $3.50. 900 ball, it
may require the expenditure of still
more of the Yerkes millions to reach
the charmed circle.
If they shall finally succeed in break
ing in, they will then be prepared to
move on the English world of 400 dom.
Entry into the British society circle
comes high, but the people of Chicago
are able to pay the bill, and will do so
in Yerl1es' case if their n1ckels hold out.
over there it is necessary to rent a
house which has been occupied at some
period by no less a parsonage, at least,
than a duke.
Mr.. William Waldorf Astor has just
succeeded in securing one of these COW
eted adjuncts to a proper standing in
the social world at an outlay of $500
for three months, a much larger sum.
it is said, than the duke paid. But, to
return to Mr.. Yerkes, it is now quite
plain why it was represented to the
mayor that a reduction of car fare in
Chicago to 4 cents would necessitate
reduction in the wages of the employees
-Yerkes needed the extra cent to make
his way into the ranks of the New
York 400.

MRS. PILLOW WANTS PAY.
Sues the City Railway for $4,000 In
juries Sustained

On the oath day of last February a
conductor on the street railway line IN
hooked his metal register from the
straps about his neck and placed it on
the lamp shelf of the car His action
may now cause the railway company to
lose 81, 900.
The jolting of the car dislodged the
register and it fell from the shelf, strik-
ing Mrs. Celia Pillow, a passenger, on
the head. Late yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Pillow filed a suit for s., 900 dam
ages against the railway company in the
district court on the ground that she
was permanently injured by the blow.
Mrs. Pillow is colored and a widow
and states in her petition that she has
several children depending upon her for
support She says that she was so ser
Iously injured by the register striking
her on the head that since the accident
she has been unable to perform Ia Dor or
pursue her usual duties
Mrs. Pillow states in her petition that
the accident was wholly due to gross
careleSsnesS and misconduct on the
part of the conductor.

HOPPER'S ADMIRER.
She Has Seen Him in GEL Captain" 46
Times

DeWolf Hopper has a most persistent
lady admirer. By actual count she wit
messed the performance of 'El-Capitan"
at the Broadway theater, New York
city, 46 times and on the opening nights
of the comedians engagements in Bal
timOre, Washington, Harlem, Brooklyn
and Newark, she was in evidence, and
again at the initial performance of the
opera at the Chestnut Street Opera
House, Philadelphia.
This mysterious female admirer
would sometimes be seated in an or
chestra chair, sometimes conspicuous in
an upper box, and at other times she
would be in retirement in the rear rows
of the theater. On every possible occa-
sion she was on hand to drink in the
melodies of SOusa's score, and to gaze
to her hearts content on the elongated
comedian in the center of the stage.
Unlike most of the feminine admirers of
popular actors this particular woman is
well on in years. She is tall hand
hair is snow white and she wears
glasses. She is always richly gowned
in black silk or satin, and her eyes new
er leave Hopper when he is on the
stage.
The ardent and devoted admirer of
the jolly fun-maker of course attracted
the attention of other auditors during
her numerous visits to the various the
aterS, and especially those who had ia
ken kindly to- the pretty opera, some of
whom were only a few laps behind in
point of attendance and who had seen
and heard "El-Capitan" many times.
One evening during the run of the
opera in New York city an acquaintance
remarked to the comedians dainty lit
tie wife: "Oh, Mrs. Hopper, 1 should
think you would be awfully jealous of
that old lady who comes to see your
husband SO Often;'' No, indeed was
the merry response. Pm always de-
lighted to have her come. You see she
is Mr.. Hopper'S mother"

CAME TO PROTEST.
The Missouri Pacific Objects to Its
High Assessment.

B. P. Waggener, general attorney,
and S. L. Highleyman, tax commits
sioner of the Missouri Pacific, came to
Topeka today to appear before the
state board of railroad assessors and
protest against the increase of 1851, 600
in the total valuation of the mileage
of the company's lines in Kansas. The
representatives of the railroad desired
to be heard before the full board which
was prevented today by the absence of
Attorney General Boyle. The hearing
was postponed until Monday.
Tax Commissioner Cooper of the
Rock Island appeared before the board
and protested against the increase of
$437 900 in the mileage valuation of the
Rock Island. The assessors have made
no changes in their figures thus far
but one member of the board is in ia
vOr of giving the Rock Island a reduc-
ton. The assessors this year raised
the assessment of the Rock Island on
the theory that Attorney General
Dawes secured unreasonable reduc-
tions for the company before the Re
publican board of assessors.
1t has been suggested that the Pop
ulist board has gone to the other ex-
IRENE and the members may recOnSid-
er their action.

wounded.
Meriwa is in the great bend of the
Nile between old Dongola and the

the north point of the bend. The ex-

in regard to the matter:

man that when stocks are worth from
