At Toneka today it will be decided
whether Wichita is to have a railroad
commissions or not. There are four can
didates for the position from Wichita
William Flavius Green, VIII Ayres, Gov
erraor Lewelling and l. p. Campbell.
Campbell is a new candidate. He
struck Topeka Monday morning with a
pocket full of petitions. He says that
on his petitions he has the name Of ev-
cry business house in Wichita. His can
didacy was a surprise and is taken to
mean great deal. 1t is probably the
gauntlet Of defiance to the Conceived
ling faction in Populist circles.
1t seems that Cone and Lewelling are
trying TO run things over Judge Sankey s
wishes rough shod, and that Sankey has
determined TO take hand. Sankey in
sists, il is said. that the chief of police
and police department shall not be mere
ly an auxiliary of the Sheriff's Office
With this in view ii is claimed that San
key SEES himself entirely out of the game.
He has accordingly cut loose from Lew
cling and Cone and will make a sepa-
rate fight for everything Leedy mas to
give.
L P Campbell is probably in the race
for this reason. There are many objec-
tons to Lewelling, one of them being
that he already holds office. 1t is pos
sible that Judge Mckay has already pro-
tested against dwellings appointment
for this reason. If he has, dwellings
cake is dough. viii Ayers has pretty
nearly given up the idea of getting the
place, although he is still candidate.
William F'lavius Green is also in Tope-
ka laboring for the office
II develops that none of the Wichita
crowd has a straight-out promise for
the place from anybody, and it is not
sure thing that Wichita VIII get IL
Lewelling's chances are the best.

County Commissioner Wilson. Bill Az
ers. and William FIavius Green orna-
ment the corridors OF the National hotel,
and so does Ipey Campbell, but they do
not speak as they pass by.
1t is thought that Judge Sankey will
nix up an entire new slate for the police
business before February 1 and make a
light for 1t before Governor Leedy.

81 ought to he back by nine O'Clock"
was the message the captain told Cor,
poral Cunningham to take out to camp;
but Cunningham was the ingenious
youth who first accosted Mr.. Lambert
on his arrival that morning, and Burns
had nearly shaken the life out of him
when he heard the story the men were
passing from lip to lip. Cunningham
was a young fellow with a better opin-
ion of himself than his employers
seemed to entertain, and, though fair
ly educated in the public schools and in
a business college of his native city, d
fondness for Bowery life and associa-
ton with Bowery boys had undermined
his usefulness. He enlisted after los
ing his situation, and, coming TO Closes
company when clerks were hardly to
be had at any price, was put into the
company Office instead of the awkward
squad. Then came a vacancy among
the corporals; the young fellow, being
a new broom, had swept clean, and was
so helpful about the books, papers and
the like for six weeks that Close gave
him the empty chevrons, and gave
Burns abundant cause for another out
break of blasphemy. There might have
been some way of licking Private Gun
ningham into shape, but there was none
whatever of reforming Corporal Cum
ningham. He was not all bad, however,
for by evening he began to realize the
extraordinary solecism of which he had
been guilty in the morning; SO he was
actually ashamed to go near the leu
tenant. and never even repeated his mes
sage to Burns until nine o'clock had
come and the captain hadn't. Then
Burns went over to the lientenant's
tent, where the youth sat wrapped in
his overcoat, trying gloomily and with
| stiffened fingers to write some letters
by the light of a single candle.

ride the mule back himself. He could

Pr ,paring for Possible Renewal OF the

LONDON, May 27.-The Athens cor
respondent of the Times says:
1T is believed that complications
have arisen owing to the advocacy of
some of the powers, including Russia,
of Turkish occupation of Thessaly
until the indemnity is paid and to
England's firm resistance to such a
project. The Greek government is
preparing for possible renewal of the
war"
A dispatch to the Times from La.
rissa says the impression is general
among the Turkish troops that there
will be more fighting. A brigade OF
with Mausers, and a dispatch to the
Standard from Athens says that the
municipal authorities have conferred
the freedom of the city upon Gen. Ric.
coti Garibaldi and Amilcare Cipriani,
the Italian socialist leader, in recogni.
ton of their eminent services in the
field"
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
from Vienna says the foreign office
discredits the report that Great Brit
ain has threatened to quit the Euro
pean concert and pronounced it a
Greek invention to influence Turkey
to evacuate Thessaly.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Vienna says that the Turkish govern
eminent has modified $4,000 addi-
tional troops who are now in readiness
to advance into Thessaly, and that the
government is making active prepare
tions for Turkish administration Of
the province.
The correspondent of the London
Standard at Constantinople says: The
council of ministers has decided tc
prolong the armistice. It will refuse
even to discuss the retrocession o.
Thessaly, but will leave the Other
points for consideration to the pow
ers. So far as the note of the European
arbitrators is concerned, there can b,
no doubt that, whether the sultan il
only bluffing or is the victim of popu

Nearly Thirty Years Ago.
Robert F. Spearman, attorney for the
department of justice, Washington, is
at the Albany. Mr.. Spearman has been
engaged in taking testimony on be-
half of the government in Indian dep
relation claims.
In taking testimony in these Indian

eight-year-old boy that [ have ever
heard of. 1t occurred near the town
of Beaver. in Utah. A ranch in that
vicinity was attacked by the Indians,
and one man who was visiting the
ranchman killed, and for awhile it
seemed as if the whole party, wife and
children, would fall prey to the saw
ages. The house was surrounded by
the Indians, and the people within de-
Tended themselves as best they could,
but the ranchman, watching his oppor-
tunity, lowered his little boy and his
daughter, who WAS but II years old,
from the back window and told them
TO try to make their way to the canyon
and follow it down to Beaver, where
they could obtain help. The two chill
dren succeeded in reaching the canyon
Unobserved, and, with presence of mind
and bravery which, [ think, is remark
able for boy of that age, the boy told
his sister to follow down one side of tbs
canyon and he would follow the other,
so that in case the Indians should find
one of them the other might not be OBJ
served.
THE children succeeded in reaching
Beaver, where a relief party was or
ganized. which FASTENED to the rescue
of the besieged party. AZ the begin
ming of the siege the Indians had heard
the children in the house, and, miss
ing their voices, the alert savages dis
covered that they had gone and en-
deavored to overtake them, but being
unsuccessful and knowing that help
| would soon arrive, withdrew before the
rescuers could reach the ranch. "-DeI,r
