Our Prophecy Was True.
Daily Journal, Saturday.

Daily Journal, Saturday.
Last June the Journal, In the
course of forecast Of the result Of the
poStOffice fight in Wellington, pre-
dicted that A. A. Richards would
find himself defeated for the Office.
We stated that the place would IN all
probability 60 TO a deserving old SOL
der who wore a little brown Grand
Army button on the lapel Of his
Prince Albert. We had reference to
Judge Woods. 1t has developed that
that part Of our prophecy predicting
the defeat of the "boSs" was true.
Those who are in close touch with
Senator Baker declare that the office
will be given to Major Ferguson. We
still believe that Judge Woods is the
foremost man ia the race. The
source Of our information last June
was very reliable. However, it may
be that because Of tue hard fight
made by the two conteDding factions
for the Office, Major Ferguson will be
chosen as the most acceptable candi'
date.
A special dispatch sent out from
Topeka yesterday bearing upon the
ultimate outcome of the fight for the
pOstotfice here, says:
ANDY Richards will not be post
master at Wellington. He is Longs
man and both he and Long will be
crushed. A dark horse 10 the person
Of Major Levi Ferguson will be- the
man. This is settled. Andy does
not know 1t and perhaps Long is
equally ignorant of the fact. Senator
Baker has taken a hand 10 the matter
and has, or soon will, extend bellige.
rant rights to those who have rebelled
rgainst Richards sway as custodian
Of the patronage, and, 10 short, dep
uty boss to Cy Leland in that county.
The con IenLiOn held last week in
Sumner county settled the matter.
Andy Richards candidates for Office
were beaten by tremendous majDri-
ties. Heretofore Senator Baker has
been appealed 10 to do something to
prevent a complete wreck Of the party
in Sumner county. He refused to in
terfere on account OF Chester Long,
but be gave some hope in statement
that II the opposition to Richards in
Sumner county showed such strength
at the primaries and the convention as
would justify him in believing them
to be in the majority, that he would
take an interest in their case. The
Richards faction was buried under a
majority Of to on every issue, and
completely whipped. That settled
the question so far as Baker was con-
cerned. Major Ferguson has been
selected for the place. This was
given to a Times correspondent to.

TOPOGRAPHY.
Minnesota river rul

The Minnesota river runs across
the northeast corner of Harmon town
ship and forms the boundary line
nearly all the way cutting off several
sections, leaving them in Belle Plalne
township. There are no streams OF
Importance except the NlnneScah'
Nearly all the land has a gentle slope
toward the river, but there are lew
breaks. The whole township is till
able and very productive. The bottom
lands of the Ninnescah are rich and
yield immensely. The Santa re
railroad runs diagOnally through the
township from northeast to south
west, and the station at Cicero makes
a shipping point convenient to a
large part of the township, the
Missouri Pacific runs across the north
west corner and has station one
mile over the line in Seventy-SlX
township. The Rock Island does not
touch the township but affords a
convenient station for the western
part OF Harmon township at River
dale.
There are many well improved
farms and handsome homes among
which may be mentioned those OF W.

Mrs. Startsman Did Not Go to San
Francisco, as Stated.

1t was stated on Monday that Mrs.
Charl9s Startsman, who was recently
charged with having abandoned her
children, but released, had gone to San
Francisco. This was an error. Mrs.
Startsman states that she went to the
depot with her sister, and that it was
the latter who went to the bay.
Mrs. Startsman sends a long state
ment to the Record Union" in which
she goes over the history of the trouble
between herself and her husband, in
effect the same statement she made in
Justice Henry's court when her case
was tried there. She lays all the blame
on heI husband, and declares that he
drove her from home
