POLITICS IN KANSAS.
Curtis Chances in the New
First District.
LeavenwOrth and AtchisOn
Counties, the Fighting Ground.
Political News From Various Local
tiles in Kansas.

The Atchison Globe says: Atchison
and Leavenworth counties will be the
principal battle ground in the next
campaign in the First congressional
district, and, as the election occurs in
the fall, the opening guns will soon be
heard. The last legislature took Shaw
nee county out of the Fourth district
and added it to the First district. This
will knock Charley Curtis out of a job
unless he can defeat Case Broderick for
denomination. AS Curtis is a new
man in the district this will not be easy,
and he will probably begin to get ac-
quainted Immediately upon the ad-
journment of the present session of
congress. Curtis cannot expect any
thing from Jackson county, which is
Broderick's home. Nemaha county
has a standing candidate in w. J.
Bailey of Baileyville, and as Cy Leland
is for Bailey, so is DOniphan county.
This will make Atchison and Leaven-
worth counties the principal fOraging
grounds of the district. Under the cir
cumstances these two counties may be
able to unite and control matters Atch-
ison has no open candidate for congress
as yet, but G. D. Walker has always
had a tendency in that direction and
may ultimately get into the fight.

Every effort possible will be made to
keep Hubbard out of the penitentiary
He was confident of acquittal, but did
not seem surprised when the verdict
was read and displayed no unusual
emotion. He was taken back to the
county jail to await the disposition of
the motion for a new trial.

ten years ago and soon after secured
a position in the Office of the district

DID LELAND GET LEFrP
It is Said He Lost the Appointment
of an Indian Territory judge.

A dispatch from Washington in the
Kansas City Journal says:
THE disposal of the Indian Territory
Judgeships is giving the administration
some trouble just now. Powell CLAYTON
Major Dick kerens and Cyrus Leland
were to name one each to succeed the
three now on the bench, including
CIeveland's pets, Bill Springer and
Buck Kilgore. Clayton landed his
brother. Leland was to name a Kan
sas man, but before he could land him.
Joe Smith, the presidents personal
friend and at present chief of the bur
eau of American republics, got up the
back stairway to the executive mansion
and eXacted a promise from the presf-
dent to name his cousin, Judge Gill of
Colby. Kansas, formerly of Ohio.
This interfered with the programme
of the big three, but the creation of a
new judgeship by the present Indian
appropriation bill reopened the mat
ter and some fast scorching is going on
just now to name the remaining judges,
although the designation of one KAN
sas man rules Leland out of the contest
Major KerenS has a candidate named
Lawrence. An appointment was ex-
pected several days ago, but the reason
alleged for his not having been nomi-
mated is that Major Kerens has asked
the president by wire to hold off until
he can reach Washington. According
ly an appointment is expected as soon
as he arrives and has an interview with

BEGINNING WITH BABES.
Mrs. Bowman's Great Work Toward
Lifting Up the Human Race.

kindergarten work in Topeka will be
given a new impetus with the compile
ton of the handsome T. E. Bowman
Memorial kindergarten chapel which is
now in course of construction adjoining
the Central Congregational church on
Huntoon street between Clay and Blu
chanan streets. The memorial chapel
will cost between So, 900 and $4,000. The
foundation has been completed and the
ashlar design stone walls have been
completed nearly to the second story.
A large opening has been made in the
east wall of the Central Congregational
church which will make the seating ca
pacity nearly double that at present.
The late MT. E. Bowman was man
thoroughly interested in kindergarten
work. He gave money generously to
the association in Topeka and did many
things to advance the work. BEFORE ms
death he requested his wife to do all in
her means to help the kindergaPtenS.
He was a believer in the theory that
practical expenditure of money in some
worthy work was more valuable than
the erecting of fine marble in the ceme-
teries. Mrs. Bowman is president of
the Topeka indergarten aSSOcia ton and
devotes nearly all her time to the work.
The Memorial chapel will be the
headquarters of the Topeka kindergar-
ten aSSOcia ton. During church services
the first floor will be used as an extra
audience room. Folding doors Will
separate it at other times and kinder
garten classes will be held there. The
second story room Will De uSeQ Dy MIS-
WOrden as a kindergarten teachers
training school.
MIST. E. Bowman says that great
er interest is being taken in kinder
garten work in Topeka and in several
towns in the state. To a State Journal
reporter she said: eve think that the
work is becoming more substantially
r established every year. Our assOcia-
ton has been strengthened with the ad-
dition of several influential citizens and
business men. Then too, people who
have been opposed to kindeTgartens and
would not even listen to any mention
of the work are now coming around
and favor it. If there is an extra ses-
sion of the legislature we will present
our kindergarten bill and we believe it
will pass
We will have to organize one or two
new classes this fall probably. The
kindergartens will open about the time
of the public schools. Mrs. Worden will
have charge of the work and that is
assurance that We Will have another
successful Year. We will have dedica-
tory services at the memorial chapel
when it is completed. There will not
be cornerstone laying, however, for
the chapel is built up against the
church, and there really is no corner

American schooner Competitor, and one

hearing will go before civil judges and

will listen to no new testimony.
George Ferran, the only witness the
Competitor men are allowed to CALL is
still in prison. His sworn statement
was that the vessel was beyond the
three mile limit when fired upon and
seized. This statement displeased the
detained and stands charged with per-
jury.
Consul General Lee has as yet re-
ceived no instructions from Washington
to employ counsel to defend the pris-
oners. A Spanish magistrate said the
men would undoubtedly be found guilty
again and sentenced to death or long
terms of imprisonment, but added:
Their friends need not fear their be-

srArUARY ON A FLOAT.
A Suggestion for the Floral Fiest'
Procession.


Many organizations that expect to
take part in the Floral Fiesta are at
loss for ideas for constructing a float.
One has been suggested to the State
Journal which will not be hard to pro-
duce and yet would prove highly eff
fective. This is a float representing
statuary. The costuming would all be
in white, the pedestals could be con-
structed of wood and covered with
muslin to represent white marble. An
Etruscan vase here and there or an
antique urn would finish out the pic
ture The sides of the float could be
covered with evergreen or asparagus
and draped with garIands of roses.
Statuary looks better in a green set
ting than in high cOIors. Any num-
Der Of subjects can be represented in
stauesque attitudes in this manner, and
three or four floats of this sort could be
made very pretty features of the pa
rade. The cost of each float with hir-
ing of horses and men to lead them
would not be over $50. At night the
statuary floats lit up with coIored fire
could not be equaled for picturesque
ness, not even by tableaux that cost
five times as much money

twenty parentless little waits are being

once noted DR.. Tanner. He is still the
moving spirit in the undertaking and is
assisted by John B. Newbrough and A

All property is held in common by the
colonists, and their diet consists of vege-
