TOOK TO THE GOVERNOR
Dodge City's Political VIII SKY War
Reaches the Executive

The war between Mike Sutton and
Representative Fitzgerald, emanating
from Sutton's successful effort to de-
feat Fitzgerald for receiver of the
Dodge City land Office by securing Tom
Scate's appointment, has been carried
to the state house through an applica-
ton for a pardon for four men now in
jail in Dodge City for violating the pro-
hibitory law.
Mr.. Fitzgerald and ex-Nfayor Click
of Dodge City called ON Gov. Leedy and
made application for the pardon for the
four men. The governor declines to dis
cuss the matter, but a friend of Fitz-
gerald vOuches for the truthfulnesS of
the following statements:
"Fitzgerald and Click called on the
governor and charged Madison and SUIT
ton with being responsible for the ar
rest, prosecution and conviction OF the
liquor sellers because they had been
overlooked in the deal between the
churches and the city council"
The Journals informant then said:
about year ago the WaterwOrks
company demanded money in payment
of rentals and threatened to shut down
the plant unless their demand met with
a prompt response. The electric light
company also made similar intentions
known to the public whereas there was
much ado. The council had no money.
The town was confronting utter dark
ness and a water famine. Something

council held a secret session and the
preachers agreed to stop fighting the
jointists if the council would collect 800
a month from the violators of the law,
the amount to be paid into the city
treasury by the jointists themselves.
THE agreement was complied with
until a short time ago. 1t seems that
Sutton and Madison were indignant at
some of the city council members and
proceeded by prosecuting the four prin-
cipal liquor sellers, securing their con-
Viction and sentence to SO days in Jail
and $10O fine.
THE men were willing to pay the
fine, but did not want to go to Jail, as
they had been assured protection by
the council when the agreement was
made last year.
Representative Fitzgerald told the
governor that Sutton and Madison were
hot because they We're not selected as
the purveyOrs through whom the money
from the jointists was to be taken to
the city treasury. They wanted a rake
off, said Fitzgerald, and failing to get
in on he deal had the fellows arrest

It is said that Gov. Leedy promised
to pardon the four men ''at the expira-
ton of their sentence" upon the condi-
tion that they agree to pay no money to
Sutton or Madison therea fter

Lightning Strikes the Library
Building of Iowa University
And Sets it Afire Causing It's
Destruction.
THE LOSS is SEVERE.
Many Works Are Out of Print
And Cannot Be Replaced.
A Fireman Was Caught Under
the Roof and Killed.

Iowa City, June 19.-The library
building of the state university was
struck by lightning at a m. today
and destroyed by fire. It was a two
story brick structure, with the library
on the second floor and the physical
laboratory on the first floor. The loss
is $10O COO. OF this $500 was in books.
SIT 600 in apparatus belonging to the
physical laboratory and $4,000 on the
building.
The library was the best in the state.
Many of the books are out of print
and cannot be replaced. The Talbot
collection of 4,500 volumes was about
two-thirds destroyed. This collection
was exceedingly valuable, many books
dating from the beginning of the six
teenth century. The damage to the
physical laboratory resulted largely
from water. The firemen with difzf-
Guilty prevented the flames from spread
ing to the dental building close by.
Fireman L. NJ. Meek was caught in
the building under a falling roof and
burned to death 1t is not thought
any others We're in the building. The
state carries no insurance on any pub
lie buildings. The university authori-
ties have for many years been urging
the legislature to make an appropria-
ton for fire-proof building.

10 ABOLISH THEMSELVES.
zouaves Want to Get Into Plain and
Common Uniforms.

The Festival zouaves will meet Mon
day evening at the south steps of the
state house to complete their reorgan-
ization and make arrangements for
uniforms. A new uniform has been
adopted 1t is blue with a white stripe
down the leg and white trimmings
They Will be the cadet style. 1t is es-
timated that the new uniforms will not
cost more than 81 apiece.
The zouaves should not surrender
their identity by giving up zouave uni
forms Their red and blue suits at
tracted a great deal of attention during
last years festival. If they adopt ca
det uniforms they will merely be merg-
ed in the mass of blue and gray militia
and disappear. Besides, they will not
be zouaves. If they are going to drop
the zOuave uniform, another company
of zouaves should be organized Zou-
aves are the most picturesque feature
of the military display. There will be
dead loads of long -trousered marchers.

WILL BE ICE AND SNOW.
The Second of the Fall Fes.ivaIFIoats
is Finished.

The second float of the Fail Festival
series has been completed and the Com
mittee of Fifteen will go to the fair
grounds next Tuesday evening to- in
spect it. The float is a representation
of the disastrous trip of Prof Dyche
in search of the North pole and the ship
is shown amid surroundings of snow
and ice
There are three more floats to build
and the contractors will have them
completed by September 1. There has
been some talk about having the work
on the floats stopped, but no one wants
to see the work given up when the peo-
pie have been given to understand that
the Festival floats this year will be the
finest ever seen in Kansas.
Five floats is paltry enough. There
ought to be at least y, and the process
ion viii have to be pieced out with
something not quite so expensive. Next
year we might buy the floats used by
the New Orleans Mardi Gras manage
men. Doubtless they could be purchas-
ed cheap enough.

Larned, Kan, June ia tornado
swept through the northwest part of
this county and Rosel, a village Is miles
west of here, was struck and almost
completely wiped out of existence, two
grain elevators and every house in the
place being swept away A mile north
of Rosel the farmhouse of Ed Christian

farmer, had his foot badly crushed and
Ray Bindly was seriously injured by
boards flying from a demolished house.

SET FIRE TO DYNAMITE
And the Country was Shaken for
Miles Around.

Decatur. Ill, June 19.-The explosion
of 300 pounds of condemned dynamite
sticks at the city dump and burying
grounds on the SangamOn river bank
two miles from the center of the city,
today. shook the town like an earth
quake.
It was at first supposed to be the ex-
plosion of one of the powder magazines
near the river.
Some months ago 81 boxes of dyna-
mite had been condemned, and it was
given to Joseph Foster in charge of the
city burial grounds for dead animals,
to bury. He failed to do so, and today
piled them on the heap of stuff he
wanted to burn. Then he and two other
men applied the matches. Foster had
been told the dynamite would burn, but
he was afraid to remain near the fire.
He and his assistants went off 200 feet
and watched the fire.
Suddenly there was terrific explo-
sion, and a hole 20 feet deep took the
place occupied by the fire.
Dwellings in the Immediate neighbor-
hood rocked, chimneys toppled Overland
ceilings and walls were cracked, plaS-
tering falling upon the startled women
and children. An untenanted house
close by was completely shattered. me
house of Circuit Clerk Foster was bad
Iy damaged and many Others in the
Third ward had window panes broken.
The court house, built of stone, was
shaken and windows were broken in
dwellings nearly two miles distant A
man in a well 40 feet deep two miles
from the explosion felt a fearful rush
of air to the bottom where he was at
work and he got out in a hurry. He
thought it was an earthquake. Suits
against the city will probably result.
No one was killed or even injured.

LEGATE SAYS so.
Perhaps This Story is True and Per
haps it Isn't.

Senator Baker received a setback
which he will not soon forget, from
President Mckinley few days ago, ac-
cording to a story told by Jim Legate
who says he went with Mr.. Baker to
call on the president and heard the con-
versation at the close of which, leaving
the presidents room Mr.. Baker said to
Legate:
I have been simply held up and
that's all there is to it."
President Mckinley called Mr.. Baker
into a conference to consider the Kan
sas City postoff1ce matter. Legate tells
what transpired as fellows:
Il went with Mr.. Baker TO call on the
president. We were ushered into the
presence of His Excelleney and the
subject of patronage was Immediately
taken up. Mr. Mckinley asked Mr. Ba-
Ier to indOrse Nat Barnes for pOstnlas-
ter at Kansas City, but Baker told him
frankly that he could not do so. The
president insisted that Barnes should be
appointed but Mr.. Baker was firm and
declined to make the recommendation
and was inclined to stand by that pro-
Mr.. Baker finally told the president
he would not recommend Barnes, but
would consent to Offering no objection
to his confirmation This disposed OF
the matter.
president Mckinley then asked Ba-
ker to indOrse Leland for pension
agent" continued Mr.. Legate, but he
refused to do SO and wanted Tom An
derson appointed as he had the recon-
menda tions and Endorsements from the
old soldiers of Kansas who should be
accorded the privilege of naming the
pension gent, the only office in which
they were materially interested. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, however, insisted that Leland
should have the place but Mr.. Baker
was firm in his refusal to recommend
Leland.
The conference then ended on Kan
sas matters but Mr.. Baker fingered to
present another matter to the president.
Mr.. Baker wanted the president to
give two of the senator's s friends places
on the Indian commission and asked
him to do so. Mckinley said: I real
ly can't do it as the places are already
promised to two friends of mine in Chi
cago.'
MIR. Baker then left the president
and remarked as he emerged through
the door close to me: I have been held
up. Just a simple hOldup. What do
you think of that?' -

LATEST FROM CHICAGO.
A JOINT IN YOUR HOUSE2
If There is Xou are Liable to be Ar
rested, Too

A suit has been filed in the district
court on an injunction granted by
Judge Hazen to prevent Mike ThOmp-
son from selling liquor at $40 Kansas
avenue. The injunction also applies
TO Mary A. Chase, who owns the build
ing Mrs. Chase does not have di-
rect charge of the building. r. Deit-
rich, a real estate agent, has been rent
ing it.
This injunction is but the first of sew
eral that will be filed in the district
court. It is part of the plan of the
temperance committee for eradicating
the joints The committee expects to
begin on the jOintists in three different
ways. First. to prosecute under the
new city nuisance ordinance in the pO-
lice court. Second, to have Information
filed and the prOpr1etOrS OF the places
arrested by the sheriff for violating the
prOhibitory law, and third to bring in
junction proceedings in the district
court
The Joint keeper may pay the 800 fine
in the police court, and he may be will
ing to pay 800 fine in the district
court and spend go days in Jail, but
there is no way for him to avoid the
injunction. That effectually closes the
place. The fact that it makes the
owner of the building a party to the
suit, it is expected, will make those
who rent buildings a little more care
full
The injunction in the Thompson case
IS temporary and a date will be fixed
for the hearing to make the injunction
permanent. Upon the result in that
case will depend in a measure the fu-
ture action of the temperance commit
tee along that line. This part of the
prOhibitOry law has not been used to
any extent during recent years.
The police last evening raided the So
called 20. NJ 3. lodge of Walt Rich

CYCLONE STRIKES A FAIR.
20 People Killed and 80 Hurt Near
Paris

Paris. June ia cyclone swept over
the villages of Beesons, CoIonbus and
Asnieres, near this city yesterday af-
ternO0n. Houses collapsed, trees were
torn up, telegraph wires were broken.
At the time the cyclone struck AS
nieres, a fair was in progress. Every
thing was literally demolished; 200
trees were uprooted. The roof of Coig-
nets fireworks factory was blown off; ;
a tall chimney was blown down and
the boiler exploded, killing several per-
sons and injuring Is.
The Gaulois today says that 20 people
were killed and 80 injured in the cy-
clone which swept over the villages of
Beesons, Colombus and Asnieres yes
terday afternoon.
It is reported that five persons were
killed in a cave.
The whole garrison at Courbevoie
about five miles northwest of Paris,
went at a double quick pace to Asnieres
after the disaster, where the scene is
now one of widespread and appalling
