AGAINST HIS WILL.
A Republican is Forced to Stand as a
Democratic Candidate.

Lacrosse, Wis, Nov. "A very I'M
usual action was brought in the circuit
court today and as a result Major J.
Kircheis, of the Third Wisconsin vol
unteers, a Republican, is compelled to
accept the nomination for sheriff of
ticket against his will. While the major
was in Porto Rico the Democratic con-
Vention nominated him for sheriff with
out his consent or knowledge. His regf-
ment has just returned from Porto Rico
on sixty days furlOugh and he did not
reach home until Monday, two days too
late to file his declination of the nOmi-
nation. He refused to run and the
county clerk refused to put his name on
the official ticket.
Democratic Chairman McHenry then
brought an action in the circuit court
to compel the county clerk to place
KircheiS' name on the ticket and won
his case. Judge Wyman in his rulings
held that the law required that a de-
clination be filed nine days before the
election and that it was not for the
court to put any construction on the
statute, therefore Major Kircheis' name
must go on the ticket
Major Kircheis made an excellent
record in Porto Rico as an army officer
and it is conceded that he will be elect
ed by a large majority. but he is still
an army officer. His regiment may not
be mustered out until long after he has
been elected and he will not accept the
office. The legal fraternity in this city
say this is the Queerest case on record
and a great variety of opinions is ex-
pressed by them as to the outcome.

ment has seen ft to send two such
magnificent battleships as the Oregon
and Iowa to the Pacific station
Speaking of his prospective retire.
ment, Admiral Miller said:
Il greatly regret the necessity of
quitting the service at a time when 1
feel that I am well able to do the duties,
but must give way to younger men.
I have had my innings and must give
others a chance"
With regard to the lessons gained by
the late war, he said:
First and foremost I think the neces-
Sity for the Nicaragua canal is the
thing of prime Importance to our navy
A country which has such a vast coast
line on two oceans needs a route by
which Warships can be transferred from
ocean to ocean without mourning the
necessity OF clfCuInnaVlgatlng a cOntl-
nent. I think the Nicaraguan canal
will be built in eight years. It is the
only practical passage.
THE chief difficulty to be surmounted
in Nicaragua is the establishment of a
port at Greyton. The shifting sands
thereabouts render navigation difficult
and considerable expense would be
incurred in fixing the harbor up.
Another necessity shown by the war
is that of having a large number of first
class battleships capable of sailing
eighteen miles an hour. We must have
them and 1 think we will have them
We want more ships like the recently
launched Illinois.
with regard to Hawaii, it was es-
pecially pleasant for me to close q lone
service by presenting my country with
a large and fertile territory. Ever since
my first visit to Hawaii in '55, I have
been convinced that the islands should
belong to the United States. I have
visited Honolulu many times and have
always been accorded a. royal welcome
there. 1t is now a thoroughly Ameri-
can city and we did right to take it in

ANDREWS OPERA COMPANY
A Short Season of Opera is Proposed
at the Crawford.

Not since the Andrews Opera compa-
ny was here two years ago, have our
music lovers had an opportunity OF as
tening to good operate performances
at reasonable prices. Good opera is
usually seen only at high prices; ana
when Manager Crawford announced
two seasons ago that he proposed to
bring his patrons a series of really mer-
itOriouE performances of standard and
comic opera at a scale of prices much
less than usual with still further re-
duction to those who would subscribe
for season tickets or Communication
books; there were not lacking those who
were incredulouS.
But the subscription list was made,
the company came, and engagement
proved a. very gratifying one, not only
from an artistic standpoint, but it was
satisfactory also financially. A pre-
cedent was established which goes to
show that really good performances of
opera may be seen at very moderate
prices if undertaken in the right way,
and large audiences secured. This fact
has been very we'll known in the large
cities of the country for some time, but
western towns is a recent innovation.
Encouraged by his first success Mr..
Crawford proposed to bring the An
drews Opera company back to Topeka
for another short season of two nights
and matinees on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, November % and %, and the same
low scale of prices, with additional re-
auctions to subscribers for commutay-
ton books,) which was made during
the company's previous visit viii pre-
vail during the present engagement.
viz. Csc, soc, 75c and s1.00. The engage
ment is conditioned on securing an adj
vance subscription sale Of not less than
200 Communication books, of four tickets
each at 50 per book. This communication
book rate is really nominal when it is
remembered that the performances of
the Andrews company are of the high
order and it is expected that the full
issue of 200 books will be subscribed for
in a very short time, after which the
seats will be sold at the regular box
office rate. Communication tickets are
good detached and are transferable.
Anyone can use thew and they are ex-
changeable for the best reserved seats
without extra charge. Leave your
name for a book at Rowley's drug
store.

MEMORIAL no M'KINLEY.
Urging Him to Call an International
Conference.


Washington Nov. "A memorial
prepared by Charles Henry Butler and
others has been presented to the presi-
dent asking that this government call
an international convention to consider
the question of making private prop
erty free from capture on the high seas
in time of war. The memorial pays a.
name and speedily successful prOsecu-
ton of the recent war and points out
that this government is in the best po-
sition of any power at present to take
the initiative in such a humane mOve-
ment without laying itself open to the
imputation of selhshness. The me-
mortal gives an interesting resume OF
this country'S advocacy of free ships
for free goods and quotes the famous
Paris convention which it will be re-
membered is as follows First-Pri-
watering is and remains abolished.
SecOnd-The neutral flag covers en-
emy's goods with the exception of con-
traband of war.
Third-Neutral goods, except contra
band of war are not liable to capture
under an enemy's flag
Fourth-Blockades to be binding
must be effectiVe-that is to say, main
tanned by a force really sufficient to pre-
vent access to the eneny's coast.
The memorial urges that international
law should be amended to not only in
clude all the above, but to except all
contrab band Of war. It is pointed out
that the present threatening aspect of
European politics would make this
move by the United States particularly
acceptable to the remainder of the
world at this time and beside saving
untold loss and suffering by innocent
nOn-cOm bantants in case of a general
war would stand forever as another of
the many strong claims that this cOun-
try holds upon the gratitude of the civ
IiZed world.

THE stations. however" continued Mr.
Harper, will discontinue the use of the

contract with the telephone company for
service between the substationS and the
city post office. the line will be in use only
between those two points, and messages
other than on official business will not be
taken or received.
THE owners of the drug stores at which

the telephone company to put in ordinary

phones. as contracts have been made with
the company by the owners, inside a year.
