We, the Republicans of the Fourth
congressional district, in convention as
Sembled, do reaff1rm our belief in the
great principles of the Republican par
ty, and heartily endorse the efficient
manner in which the Republican ad-
ministration has made a practical dem
onstration of those principles.
We rejoice that the ST. Louis plat
form is as good reading in 1898 as it
was in 1896, needing no explanation or
apology, and point with particular
pride to the fact that the Cuban policy
therein declared is rapidly passing into
history.
AS Americans we are especially proud
of these representative citizens, Me-
Kinley as a statesman, Fitzhugh Lee as
a diplomat, and Dewey as a fighter,
and we are firm in the conviction that
when the South Atlantic opportunity
comes we will Schley the Spaniards

We recommend the Hon. Charles Cur
tbs to his new constituency as an eff
hcient and faithful congressman, and
condemn the action of the Populist leg
islature in its attempt to thwart the
will of the people.
We desire to call the attention of the
state to the fact that the Populists who
six weeks ago were loudest in con-
demning President Mckinley for his
slowness in beginning the war, have,
Kansas the last state to get its troops

Emporia, Kan, May 11.-An amusing in
incident happened when the Emporia
company of volunteers left for Topeka.
Jack mckinley, captain of the company,
learned that the women of the town in
tended presenting his company with a flag
at the depot the boys would take the
train, and he asked John Madden to be
present and make the speech of accept
ance on behalf of the company. Mr.. Mad
den consented, and at the depot he kept
in the wake of the flag SO that he would
be on hand to help out Jack.
But here a woman appeared on the
scene and mixed things up. One of the
ladies asked Mr.. Madden to make the pre-
Sentation speech, and of course he could
not refuse the request. AS Jack stood up
there on the end of truck listening to
the presentation speech by the man who
had promised to help him out about 500
different ideas fitted through his head,
while he wondered how under the sun he
could drop through the platform and out
of sight.
At last, when Mr.. Madden had finished.
he turned around and in choked voice
said, For the Lords sake, can't you set
it up and make the speech of thanks, too?'
and in the goodness of his heart Mr.. Mad
den did turn and finish the performance
by thanking the ladies and relieving the
captain, who would rather have faced the
whole Spanish army than have tried to
talk to that company of EmpOria people.

CIGARETTES A BAR.
30 Per Cent of Rejected Volunteers
are Cigarette Smokers.

Washington, May 1.-THE large num-
Der of reflections of volunteers has caus-
ed much comment in the army medical
corps. However, the physicians who
have conducted the examinations say
that outside of the ranks of cigarette
smokers there are even fewer reflections
than there were in the days of the civil
war.
Among habitua1 users of the ciga-
rettes the reflections are about 80 per
cent.
DR.. Benjamin King of Philadelphia,
who acted as examining surgeon dur
ing 1S61-63 in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, says that the aver
age reflections during these years did
not exceed Is per cent. He attributes
the large increase almost entirely to the
cigarette habit.
i have been inspecting the papers in
a. number of cases under the present
recruiting act,'' said DR.. King, land I
observe that most of the men who fail
ed to pass the medical examination
nave weak hearts or lack the vitality
necessary to make a good soldier. I
had expected that the percentage of
reflections would be greater now than in
1861, but did not dream that it would
be almost three times as great. The ex-
aiming physicians with whom I have
talked have generally told me that the
excessive reflections are due to the large
number of young men applying for en-
HStment who have become victims sof

CANADIAN River HIGH.
Destroys Much Railroad Property
Traffic Stopped.

Parsons, May 11.-Trainmen on the
M, K. & T. railroad running between
this city and Dennison report the South
Canadian river higher than it has ever
been and that great suffering exists in
that section due to the floods.
Passenger train No. 1, which left the
city Thursday morning for Texas, was
the first train to encounter the high wa
ter and was forced to turn back at that
point.
While the train was near the bridge,
a skiff, in which a man and his wife
and three children were endeavoring to
escape from the raging waters, was
seen to capsize and the woman and
three children were drowned People
in the flooded district sought shelter dn
the trees and the pitiful cries Of the
stricken people were plainly heard by
the train. crew and passengers, but they
were powerless to render any aid.
Conductor Gudgell took aboard a
number of persons who had sought
safety on the railroad track, and car
ried them out of danger, for had they
remained at that point where they
boarded the train, they would have per-
ished in the water, as the river was r1s-
ing rapidly and within an hour the
track was covered to depth OF six
feet
The damage to railroad property by
reason of the flood will be very great,
to say nothing of the loss sustained by
the delay to transportation. A train
load of material was sent south yester-
day morning from this city and a large
force of men are now at tnat point en-
deavoring to repair the damage
wrought by the flood, but the water is
SO high that the workmen can make
but little progress, and at this Writing
it is difficult to state just when traf1c
will be opened on that part of the track

COWBOYS AND DUDES.
Football Players and Polo Players in
Roosevelt's Regiment.

San Antonio, Tex, May 11.-Three
hundred and forty cowboys from New
Mexico and 80 society leaders from New
York are the latest acquisitions to
Roosevelt's riders. Among the men
from the east are Craig Wadsworth,
one of the best polo players in America;
Basil Ricketts,, a son of the late Gen.
Ricketts,, who has served a two years
apprenticeship on Colorado cattle
ranch; Hamilton Fish, Jr, another
noted polo player; Horace Devereaux,
of Colorado Springs and the Princeton
foot ball team; VIM. Tiffany, of New
York, a social favorite and a leader of
cotill4bns, but who can boast of a long
experience of western ranch and range;
Kenneth Robinson of the Knickerbock-
er club; Reginald Ronalds, halfback in
the Yale football team, and HOLSTER,
the Harvard sprinter.
There will be about so of these col
lege and club men in all, but their
wealth and influence will secure them
no special consideration in the regi-
ment One of them may get neuten-
ants commission and two or three are
likely to be made non-commissioned Of
ficers, but the rest will serve as troop
ers on perfect equality with the rest
of the men.

RAN THE BLOCKADE.
The Montserrat Reported to Have
Succeeded the Second Time.

The Montserrat Reported to Have
Succeeded the Second Time.
Madrid, May ia dispatch received
from Havana this afternoon says the
Spanish steamer Montserrat, which,
with a valuable cargo, troops and
large sum of money, intended for Ha-
vana, escaped the United States fleet
and entered the port of Cienfuegos. has
again run the blockade of the Ameri-
can squadron and has entered the port
of Havana in safety. 1t is claimed here
that this proves that the blockade of
the Cuban ports is ineffective.
The Spanish mail steamship MontSer-
rat, which is alleged to have run the
blockade at Havana, appears to have
reached Cienfuegos on April 81, with
1000 Spanish soldiers, $780, 900 in silver
and Is guns of large calibre, in addi-
ton to a very valuable cargo. including
a quantity of ammunition. The Span
iards claim the Monteserrat was sight
ed by an American man-Of-war, which
fired on her. The mail steamer, it is
alleged, mounting guns as an auxiliary
cruiser, returned the fire and eventual
ly reached Cienfuegos. So many utter
ly false reports have been given out in
Madrid recently that American con-
firmation of the arrival of the Montser-
rat at Havana will be required before
the story of the blockade running is ac-
cepted as truth
