Deputy Sheriff John Ellis brought John Lee (colored), from White Hills Thurs day evening and lodged him in the coun- ty iril, on commitment from Judge Landlords court. Lee is charged with selling whiskey to Indians and the White Hills justice held him to appear before the U. s. grand jury. As result Lee will probably be released on habeas corpus, being illegally restrained of his liberty. Judge Lankford must confine himself to territorial law and leave the United States Court in possession of the federal authorities.

When you ask an editor to suppress an item of news because it does not please you, then go and asK your grocer to exclude pickels from his store because you can't eat them, and your butcher not to keep bologna because it goes against your stomach, says the Telluride Journal. There is just as much fairness in one as in the other. News is an edi tors stock in trade. So are pickles a grocer's and bologna and wienerwurst butcher's.

FINDLAY'S RACE ENDED,
Says a Dispatch From Washington
Other Kansas Gossip.

A Washington dispatch announces
the fact that George Findlay of this
city is considered as being practically
out of the race for internal revenue col
lector for Kansas The dispatch says:
"A number of things have combined to
work against his chances. The fact that
Leland wants this appointment held
open until he sees whether he needs 1t
in his business or not puts Findlay in
an embarrassing position If the boss
plans don't miScarry, no Topeka man
will be given a federal position in the
state"
Discussing the situation in Kansas
and the political outlook at the capitol,
the dispatch further says Senator
Baker has been called on to indOrse W.
W. Martin of Fort Scott for minister to
Bolivia. Mr.. Martin wants to succeed
Tom Moonlight as minister to that
country, and he does not want to wait
until the frost is on the pumpkins
either He is here to impress upon Ba-
ker and Leland the necessity for quick
action on this particular appointment
1t is probable that MoOnlight's success
sor may be named soon, but not at all
certain that the appointment will go to
Kansas. An effort is to be made for
Martin however, and he will see to it
that the president is kept fully inform
ed as to his whereabouts until the NOM
ination is sent in.
Leland and Baker have been urging
the president to dispose of a number of
presidential pOstoffices this week. No
positive steps have been taken in the
EmpOrla tanSIe YET, Out oeudtOT Baker,
it is said has consented to indOrSe I1e-
lands candidate, Ewing, which will in
sure his nomination. This will be hard
turn-doWn for Congressman Curtis, ex-
Governor Eskridge, Bill Martindale and
D. w Eastman, who have backed J. H.
Wiggam. Mr.. Curtis has made a hard
fight for Wiggam against stiff odds.
Editor George w. Martin has sud
denly developed unexpected strength in
the race for the postoffice plum in Kan
sas City Kan. Many strong indorse-
rnents have come in for him and the
anti Barnes crowd believes that the ex-
mayor will not now be nominated
Barnes looked like a winner for a time,
and he was on the Leland slate. Sena-
ton to the case, and Editor Martins
friends have made a good showing for
him. J. NJ. Ford at Eudora and Editor
J. NJ. Mickey at Usage City think they
will surely handle the mail matter in
their respective towns for the next four
