BriStOW in a Hot Place.

The Kansas City Times yesterday
contained the following special dis.
patch from Washington:
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Joe BristOw of Kansas, and Ma
tional Committeeman R. G. Kerens OF
Missouri, have had a serious clash
over the appointment of presidential
pOstmaSterS in Missouri. So serious
is the difference that the president
has been forced to take hand, and
it may lead eventually to a demand
upon his part for the immediate res
lgnatiOn of 'ExecutiOner' BristOw.
Just before the president left the
other day Colonel Kereus brought the
matter TO his attention. Mr.. McKin-
ley listened attentively to the story
of Colonel KerenS' woes, and when he
had finished said emphatically:
''lf this occurs again l shall ask for
the resignation OF Mr.. BristOw."
HE then wrote a letter to the post
master general, Ia which he said that
the recommendations of Colonel Ker-
ems were TO 20 unless there were
weighty reasons for action otherwise.
There the matter rests for the time
being, but there is likely to be rup-
ture 5000. BristOw is aggressive as
we'll as bull-headed, and he dislikes
Colonel KerenS intensely. his appre'
citation of his own merits is sadly out
of harmony with the general estimate
of his abilities. He is just obstinate
enough to be led into a fight with
KerenS where the latter would have
all the advantage. Should the
doughty, but dyspeptic Kansan run
afOul of the presidents diSpleasure
there would be no tears by that part
of the public which do business il
his department.

OhiOanS Coming to Kansas,

Columbus, o., Sept, 23.-The par.
tial failure of crops 10 Ohio and the

reports crops in favorable condition

of wheat being s. and 81 cents per

THE farmers 10 the west are very

Attempted Burglaries.

There were three attempts at bur-
glary Friday night. Houses of Fred
Wedekind and E. E. Pember on West
Harvey avenue, and Mrs. Harriet NJ.
Crawford, at the corner of Third and
Olive streets.
The burglars tackled the house of
Fred Wedekind about ] o'clock. Mr.
Wedekind heard them trying to break
into the house and he frightened
them away. A few clothes that were
left hanging on the clothesline in the
yard were missing this morning. E.
Z. Pember was disturbed a few min
utes after the burglars were fright
ened away from Wedekind's. A house
dog gave the alarm. They secured
nothing at Mr.. Pember's. After the
men left Pember's place they gather
ed near Willis K. Folks barn aud held
lengthy consultation, finally divd-
Ing and going 10 different directions.
About 2 o'clock a man attempted
to enter the residence OF Mrs. Craw-
ford in the Third ward. Mrs. Chas.
DOty, who is staying at the place,
frightened the man away by threaten
ing to throw hot water on him. A
screen was torn from the window and
the man was in the act OF entering
the house when Mrs. Doty was
aroused. When the fellow saw that
he was discovered he asked 10 very
cool manner for something to eat, and
when told to get away or he would be
scslded, replied:
"rm gone"
The three attempted burgldries
were doubtless committed by the
same gang, who were probably fellow
ing the circus. The houses are all
lose to the Rock Island depot, where
the circus train was being loaded at
the time.
