WARNER TO SUCCEED BLISS
The Missouri Statesman Slated for a
Cabinet Position.

Washington, .n March 25.-From
source close to the administra ton comes
a piece of interesting news. 1t is ex-
pected that changes will occur in high
administration circles which will land
Major William Warner in the office of
secretary of the interior within six
months.
Friends of Secretary Bliss say that
the New Yorker will not serve for the
full period of his appointment. He ac-
cepted the assignment as a personal
compliment to himself, after burying
serious scruples, but gave the president
to understand that he could not serve
out the four years of the administration
owing to his personal business inter
ests in New York.
It is understood that the president as
sured him that he would not urge him
to remain in his place any longer than
was necessary to tide the adminiStra-
ton over the factional crisis in the
Empire state, which threatened to dis
rupt the party unless Bliss accepted
the proffered portfolio.
According to the story as told, the
president said he had fixed on Major
Warner to succeed Bliss as soon as
Justice Field retired from the supreme
bench. When that came to pass Attor-
ney General McKenna would go upon
the bench; Stewart j. Woodford, of New
York would be made attorney general,
and Major Warner would be appointed
secretary of the interior.

TO KNOCK OUT CIGARETTES
Bill to Practically Prohibit Their Sale.
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo, March 25.-Greater
barriers against the use of the cigarette
in Kansas City are to be erected by the
city council if Alderman Brinkley has
his way. The anti-cigarette ordinance
prohibiting the sale or gift of ''coft1n
nails to minors, which was introduced
by Alderman Brinkley, has now been in
effect for nearly a month. Still many
boys are seen on the streets who are
putting the cigarettes as of yore He
will now go further, and at the next
council meeting will introduce an ord1-
nance making the license OF all dealers
in cigarettes wholesale or retail, 800
a year. He believes such measure
will pass
such an ordinance has practically
driven the cigarette out of Chicago" he
said yesterday.
A dealer gave it as his estimate yes
terday that more than 10000 packages
of cigarettes were sold in Kansas City
every week He said every dealer in
the city would probably stop handing
them if the $100 license went into eff
feet

LOST A $1,000 ROLL.
Primrose & Vests Minstrel Treasur-
er Has a Costly Experience.

Kansas City, March 25.-When John
T. West, treasurer of the Primrose &
West Minstrel company, went to break
fast at the Clifton House yesterday
morning he had in his pocket nearly
81, 200; when he went out of the dining
room he had a great deal less. To be
exact, $1,167 of it was missing. It was
the companyS share of receipts for
four performances in Kansas City less
the amount of a few bills West had
paid. John T. West is a brother of w
H. West, one of the proprIetors of the
company.
After the performance Tuesday night
West took the money from the theater
with him to the hotel. In the roll were
eleven 500 bills. The rest was in
smaller bills. The night clerk hadn't
proprietor had gone to bed, so West
concluded to take the money with him
to his room, and did.
In the morning when West went
down to breakfast he had the money
in his right hand vest pocket. While
he was waiting for his breakfast to be
brought in he took out the money and
counted it over to see if it was all
there 1t was. Several of the colored
walters were standing about. and all of
them doubtless saw the money. One
was waiting on West and another was
directly at his elbow, leaning against
the SidebOard.
When he had counted the money
West put a rubber band around the
roll and put it in his trousers pocket
In this same pocket he had the key to
his room. With its big metal tag it
made a pocketful alone and was I'M
comfortable so West pulled it out and
handed it to one of the walters to take
out to the clerk for him. He then ate
his breakfast and went back to his
room. Here he put his hand in his
pocket. The money was gone. West
| says he doesn't believe he breathed for
three minutes. Then he made a straight
line for the dining room. Both walters
referred to were gone. When found,
one said he had gone down in the cellar
and the other said he had gone out to
buy a package of cigarettes. Both de-
MED that they had seen the money after
| West put it in his pocket

KIDNEY NOT A HIGH LIVER
He Makes Funny Break in Box of
Eggs.

Patrolman Kidney, who is one of the
newly appointed policemen, yesterday,
while rambling along the street on
Kansas avenue between Fifth and Sixth
streets saw in front of Weiss grocery
a large box sitting on the sidewalk
which appeared to be filed with corn
chop He walked along and talked
about the city election with Albert
Hopkins. AT the same time he twirled
his club playfully on his wrist.
Spying the box of corn chop he grasp
ed his club, which by the way is just
a little smaller than Patrolman Kes-
sons base ball bat club and absent
mindedly dived it down into the feed.
What was his surprise to find that he
had plunged his club into a box full of
eggs. When he withdrew it there was
egg yelks and corn chop all over it. His
first impulse was to run away, but on
second thought he went into the gro
Gerry store and offered to pay for the
damaged eggs. The grocerymen would
not take his money, but had a good
laugh a his expense. Kidney is the
patrolman on whom Jailer Dagg sprung
the witty remark: kidney is not
high liver

ATCHISON POPS MAD.
Adopt Resolutions Expressing Views
on Defeat of Railroad Legislation.

Atchison, Kan, March 25.-The Pop
ulists,at their city convention last night
roasted the state administration in the
following language:
Having Loyalty fulfilled the Abilene
contract to support the Democratic
electors in considera ton of Democratic
support for the state ticket of the Peo-
pies Party, fusion is no longer a factor
in local politics With the closing of
the polls in November, every debt ever
promised or implied was paid the DEM
Ocratic party, and when the state exec
utive of Kansas conferred the chief pat
rOnage of his Office upon Democrats in
AtchiSOn. as he did in LeaVenWOrth and
elsewhere, he committed crime against
the Peoples Party that made him it's
standard bearer, its protector and its
leader.
''One of the demands of the Peoples
Party-in fact, its vital inspiration OF
victory-comes from the great agri-
cultural districts for railroad legiSla-
ton. A railroad bill introduced in the
legislature, after being pounded and
wallowed by the railroad lobby, said to
have been led by an AtchisOn attorney
passed both houses of the legislature,
and was vetoed by the governor. The
history of the inside part of that trans

so marked that the people are indig-

Atchison, while denouncing corruption

ROB WISCONSIN CLUB.
Thieves Drink and Steal Industriously
While the Watchman Shores.

Kansas City, March 25.-Thieves en-
tered the Wisconsin club at an early
hour, and, after RECALLING themselves
with liquid refreshments, carried away
the cash register, containing S25. The
thieves worked so quietly that a night
Waterman who was asleep in chair
was not aroused from his SAUNDERS.
Entrance to the place was gained by
prying up a window on the Grand ave-
nue. side.
Numerous glasses and bottles were
found on the bar showing that they
slaked their thirst while the watchman
snored on. After they had sampled the
liquors, the cash register was carried
to the window and lowered to the
ground 1t was then forced open and
the money secured. The thieves left
the register under the window, where it
was found later.
