"Why, she's a blonde with-I only got
a glimpse, Randy-she's a blonde with
light hair and blue eyes. She might
be pretty. Why, dear?" And the dear

WEiNSHANK QUITS.
Democratic Member of the Live
Stock Sanitary Commits
sion to Resign.

Representative Clem Fairchild came
to Topeka today and announced that
Frank Weinshank of Kingman, Demo-
cratic member of the live stock san1-
tary board has decided to resign.
This is the elimination of the trouble
in the board between Weinshank and
Chairman Taylor Riddle. For some
time Weinshank had everything his
own way, but when the last Republi-
can had been ousted Riddle got control
and he has made things rather uncom-
Portable for Weinshank.
Mr. Fairchild has been after Mr..
Riddles scalp for some time and he has
not yet thrown uown his knife He
called upon Governor Leedy today and
secured the correspondence on the
question of driving cattle into Kansas
which was the subject of controversy
between Fairchild and Riddle
Fairchild said: Riddle says that he
never made an order that cattle could
not be driven into the state but have
here a letter which will prove who told
the truth" He exhibited a letter from
J. F. Williams, an inspector of the
board to a Texas cattle firm, in which
he said that the board had made rul-
ing that cattle could not be driven
from Texas into Kansas, but would
have to be shipped. Fairchild says

LEFT ON THE TRIAL.
An Old KlOndiker PeriShes
Loaded With Wealth.

Sioux City, Ia, June 3.-Loaded with
wealth, but deserted and starving, John
Rochel, once well known manufac-
turer in Sioux City, perished last April
on the trail between Dawson City and
Dyea, Alaska. The news of his death
reached here in a letter to his widow,
written by Richard Hendrickson, from
Seattle, under date of May "a.
The details of RochePs death are
meagre, but from what can be CLEANED,
it appears that he was returning from
the mines after disposing of a valuable
claim, His party was short of pro-
visions and as Rochel, who was quite
an old man, delayed the march it was
decided to abandon him.
Rochel had been engaged here in the
manufacture of brick, but was tempted
from home by the stories of immense
wealth in Alaska. From all accounts
he was among the luckiest of the min
ers at Dawson City, but was unable to
bring his winnings back to civilization.
His body will be brought here for
burial.

JIM'S SLATE.
Mr.. Simpson Says "FOr Publica-
tiOn" Who He Thinks
Will Be Nominated At the Re.
publican State Convention.
SHADY ON GOVERNOR.
Gives All the Candidates a
Complimentary Lift.
Four of the Nominees Are
Named Outright.

Mr.. Jim Simpson. chairman of the
Republican state central committee and
at present trusted lieutenant of Cy
Leland, is in Topeka He will confer
with Mr.. Leland and Dave Mulvane
before he goes home.
He gave his opinion about the com
ing Republican state convention.
In the first place. said Mr.. Simp-
son, Frank Nelson will be nominated
for superintendent of public instruction.
George E. Cole will capture the
nomination for state auditor.
George Clark of Junction CITY will
be nominated for secretary of state.
''W. r. Smith of Kansas City will be
nominated for associate justice.
"A. A. GODDARD of Topeka will be nom
mated for attorney general.
And further your deponent saith
not
who will get the gubernatorial nom
ination?'' was asked.
MI Simpson reflected a moment and
then said: ASK me something easy.
In the first place I think Mr. Stanley
of Wichita stands a good chance of get
ting the nomination. Major Hood of
ETnporia is a great deal stronger than
most people think he is and will have
a good deal of strength in the state
convention. Winning Shawnee county
has given SeatOn a good boost and it
at the same time effectively ShelVed
Mr.. HesSin. I do not believe that the
Manhattan man will be a factor. but
If he had carried Shawnee county he
would have been extremely dangerous.

PEDDLING GROCERIES,
New Game Being Worked on Harry
County Farmers.

Newton, June "a gang of smooth
and oily tongued grocery peddlers are
working the farmers of Harvey county
in an artistic fashion. Whether they
intend to deliver the goods they con-
tract to, is not known, but they play
on the confidence of their victims in a
mean way.
They will approach a victim and
show long lists of goods that their
neighbors have ordered, and use this
deception as a leverage to land the
sucker. They are meeting with success
in some quarters, while in others, the
thrifty housewives have been known TO
drive them from the premises.

RUSH FOR SILVER.
Run on the Bank of Spain Con-
tinueS UnabOded.

New York, June 3.-A Herald dispatch
from Madrid says: Very curious are the
phases of the rush for silver in ex-
change for bank notes in which it ap-
pears the spectators are playing on
the intense ignorance of the people in
financial affairs.
Last night the trains brought in large
quantities of silver, one lot weighing
750 kilos. This was ostentatiously par
AIDED through the streets to show the
people that plenty of silver is existing.
Notwithstanding this the run con-
tinues at the Bank of Spain and is be-
ing met by ample supplies of white coin.
