A Kansas Fusion Nominee Accused OF
Sharp Practice in the Convention
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. Isl A Ray,
a populist of Sumner county, has filed
in the office of the secretary of state a
protest against the placing of the name
of w. T. Mcbride ON the fusion ticket
as the candidate for judge in the dis
trict composed of Cowley and Sum-
ner counties Ray declares that in
the contest in the judicial convention,
the Cowley county delegation was in
structed to vote for A P. Miller for
Judge and if any member of the dele
cation should vote otherwise his seat
was to be declared vacant and the solid
vote cast for Fuller. Mcbride could
not get the nomination without one
vote from Cowley county, but he got
that vote, Ray charges, by promising
w. D. McCon, a Cowley county dele
gate, that, if elected, he would make
McCon stenographer for his court He
alleges that this was a fraud and asks
that the secretary of state declare
there was no nomination.

KANSAS WHEAT YIELD.

Probability That the Crop VIII Reach 3d.
100000 or 6O,OOO,OOO Bushels.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1S.-There is
growing belief that the wheat crop of
Kansas for 1897 has been underesti-
mated. Late reports indicate larger
yields in many localities than were
heretofore figured upon, and the total
product may run up to 55, 900, 900 or CO.,
600, 900 bushels Assistant General
Freight Agent c. r. Hudson. of the
Santa Fe, says the crop will greatly
exceed the official estimated at 40, 00O,-
600 bushels. He also predicts that
there will be nearly full crop of corn,
basing his opinion upon a personal in
spection of the corn territory and per-
sonal knowledge of the extent of the
damage by reason of hot winds and
dry weather. Mr.. Hudson advises
farmers to sell their wheat while the
price is high, rather than to take the
risk of possible falling market when
the present foreign demand shall be
supplied

AFTER A RAILROAD.

Representative Keefer, of Leavenworth,
Says the X. c., w. & N w. Should Be
Wiped Out.
TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 1S.-Representa-

the Kansas City, Wyandotte & North
western Railroad Co. with a sharp
stick. He wants the encouragement
to bring proceedings in quo warranto
at once to cancel the charter of that
company and drive it out of business
He says that the service rem
dered on that line is misera ble-worse
than none at all--and that so far as
the benefit derived by the farmers
along it is concerned it would be bet
ter if the tracks were torn up and the
right-of-way conveyed back to the
parties who gave it.
