The demand for concentrated and
condensed foods has led to very care
ful and scientific study of the peanut
and its possibilities. Peanut meal and
peanut grits are richer in nitrogen than
almost any Of the other vegetable seeds
known. Peanut oil has become q
staple article of commerce, and the
manufacture of it is engaging q large
amount of skilled labor and great
deal Of valuable machinery, some of
which has been made or arranged ex-
pressly for this purpose. Peanut oil
is Of q delicate amber tint and has
very agreeable taste and odor. It re-
quires but slight refining process,
and once freed from the fret acid
which the raw oil contains. keeps we'll,
indeed better than ordinary olive oil.
Another seed that is attracting con-
siderable attention as a commercial
product is that of the sunfower. Sun
flower seed oil is one Of the most de-
Gcious productions of nature. The
oil is comparatively unknown, but as
soon as the public learns its value it is
bound to become popular, not only
for its delicious flavor, but it is said
to keep better than any other oil. An
objection to its use by certain tempera-
ments is that it is extremely fattening.
Sunfower seeds have long been deli
cacy in Russia. They are eaten either
raw or roasted like popcorn. Confec-
tions are also made of them and lat
terly they have been extensively used
for oil by cold pressure. An eminent
scientist predicts that the sunaower
crop at no distant day will receive
quite IS much attention as is now be-
slowed upon corn, peas, beans and
like products.

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Residents of Bue-

ed their calendars at sight of a chubby
infant wriggling about on the beach of
Lake Michigan just before sundown, as
though Cupid had just come up from a
bath.
The mOtherly woman from Montrose
boulevard who reached the beach first
and gathered the mite in her apron was
astOunded to discover the year old
daughter of Eugene Field, and farther
up the beach, towards the Lake View
WaterwOrks, the s year old son of the
poet, who, with his sister, had run away
from the Field home in Clarendon ave
nue. that morning and evidently had
been spending all day at the beach.
The search that took place among the
weeds on the beach failed to disclose a
remnant of what the two children had
worn when they ran away from home
that morning. One wrapped in a neigh
bor's coat and the other in a sheltering
apron, the children were carried to the
Field home.

You can't get up much of a fight over

power. He is against tariff barOns and

is in favor of conducting this govern
ment in the interest of its common cit
izens, believing that it's uncommon cit

In reply to the rumOr that George

the Republican nomination for govern
or a prominent Sixth district Repub-
hcan said today:
This is certainly a mistake as no one
in the Sixth district can be said to be

less that of governor. The members
Of the party in that district remember
too well an experience which they had
with Case in 1883. A large majority of
the Republicans of the various counties
We're for Farmer Smith for governor
and were supporting Capt. c. 4. Nor
ton of Mitchell county for secretary Of
state. Case at the last moment came
out for governor and succeeded in cap
turing enough delegates TO defeat
Smith and nominate Humphrey. Nor
was this all. The candidacy of Case
defeated Mr.. Norton.
The Republicans of the Sixth dis
trict have not forgotten Cases action
and believe that he was in the race for
governor simply because Humphrey
had promised to make him warden of
the state penitentiary for which he had
to do something in return. His can
didacy was accepted in good faith but
the Republicans now believe that Case
simply traded them off for a good job" p"

MORE NEWS FROM WICHITA.
A Police Board Member Gives His
View of the Situation.

Rufe Cone of Wichita, aided by Rail
road Commissioner Lewelling, is max
ing a bitter fight against the board of
police commissioners at Wichita, Cone
having threatened to have the entire
board removed.
George Spencer, a member of the
board, held a long conference with Gov
ernOr Leedy today, after which Spencer
said: THE governor is now fully in
formed as to the situation in Sedgwick
county and will take no action against
the police board
Asked why LeWelling and Cone are
fighting the present board Mr.. Spencer
said: "Lewelling and Cone are dead
politically and they are simply trying
to divide the people of Wichita, and at
the same time secure recruits for the
faction which they are attempting to
build up. Lewelling could not be elect
ed dOg-pelter in Sedgwick county and
Cone has gone over to the party which
really claims him, as he voted the
straight Republican ticket at the last
election and bOaSted that he had done
so. The two men are making a vain
attempt to create trouble and stir up
strife but they will not be successful.
Wichita has no complaint to make"
continued Mr.. Spencer. We have all
the saloons we want and the business
men are satisfied with the Wide-Open
policy"

]. h. ATwooD's PULL.
Secures a Change in the Leaven-
worth's Police Board

John H. Atwood the police boss of
LeaVenWorth spent Sunday with Gov
ernor Leedy in Lawrence and as a re-
suit of that conference p J. Freeing,
the biggest tax payer on the board,
was removed as a police commission
er and J. w. Davis appointed to sue
ceed him. Carl Bergfried was elevated
to the position of chairman.
The wife of Mr.. Davis who was made
a member of the board is matrOn of the
city jail in LeaVenwOrth. He is en-
plOyed in a foundry. Politically he af-
filiates with the Democrats as does
Mr.. Bergfried, consequently the fight
which the POpulists have been making
to secure control of the board has been
lost and the governor has delivered for
the second time, the powers connected
with the police board into the hands of
the Democrats.
The circumstances which caused the
reorganization of the board were the
result of the action of the commission
ers during the recent state reunion of
the G. A. r. at LeavenwOrth. During
that week the commissioners employed
q large mum ber of special policemen
and presented therefore a bill amount
ing to IS 200 which included also the sal
aries of the regular officers and police
men.
Charges that there was 81 900 of a
rake off for the commissioners in that
bill were made and it was shown to
Governor Leedy, by the exhibit of a
pay roll that the actual expenses for
the week were $4,000. Discovering
these facts the governor at once de-
cided upon a reorganization of the
board which he has accomplished al
though the politicians from Leaven-
worth assert that he has made a tre-
mendous mistake in the selection OF
men.
City Attorney O'Keefe and some of
his friend scame to Topeka to ask the
governor to appoint Ed. F'ritsche, a
young druggist, as police commissioner
but they arrived too late, the governor
having already APPOINTED DAVIS.

FOR YUKON TRAFFIC.
A Gigantic Company Forms at Seattle
to Cover the Trade.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10.-A formidable
competitor for Yukon traffic is to be
launched next spring. It will be equip
ped with both rail and steamer lines COW
ering the two most practicable routes to
the Yukon gold BASIN
The Yukon company, by its president
Andrew F. Burleigh, has let a contract
for II modern river steamers, p barges
and two tow boats to the shipbuilding
firm of Moran Brothers of this city The
contract involves the expenditure Of
nearly 81. 900, 900. The boats are to be de-
Iivered a St. Michael for use Immediate
ly after the opening of navigation on the
Yukon next spring. The capital stock Of
the Yukon company is 10000 GOO. and it
numbers among its members some of the
financial heavyweights of the United
States The campany will not cOnfine its
operations to conducting line of steam
ers between Seattle and the Klondike by
way of St. Michael, but will build rail-
road across the ChilkoOt pass and over
the Dalton trail to Five Fingers on the
Yukon, there connecting with a line of
river steamers to the Alaskan gold fields.
The headquarters of the company has
been located in Seattle
