SEATON WON.
Captures the Delegation From Shaw
nee County.

nee County.
The Republican county convention
which will meet at Hamilton hall Tues
day afternoon at l o'clock will be COM
posed of 143 delegates, a large majority
of which are for John Seaton for gov
ernor, in accordance with the result of
the primaries held in this county Sat-
urday.
The Seaton delegation carried all of
the wards in the city with majorities
ranging from 10 in the First TO 1873 in
the Fourth. The largest anti-Seaton vote
was pelled in the Santa Fe shop pre-
cinct of the Second ward where the
vote stood SeatOn rs, anti-Seaton 140.
The SeatOn forces put up a very
strong fight, backed with lots of money,
lots of beer and practically all of the
public hacks and carriages in the city.
The cOlOred people seemed to have
been solid for Seaton and if any resub-
missionist failed to vote for the Atchi-
son county candidate his name is not
known.
A great many of the best people
among the Republicans were also solid
for Seaton, making the result onesided.
The fight was for and against an in
structed delegation and the people who
wanted the delegation instructed won.
1t is somewhat strange, in view of
the great claims made that Dave Null
vane was at the head of a ten-bucl1et
brigade, that the east precinct of the
second ward, in which the Santa Fe
shops are located, gave two to one
against SeatOn.
The result gives Dave MuIvane, of
the Topeka Capital, prestige as local
boss" and the support of Shawnee
county and probably a. large portion of
the First district in his ambition TO be
chairman of the republican state cen
trail committee. 1t is also understood
that Mr.. Mulvane's friend, Frank
Grimes, will be favored by the Shaw
nee delegates for state treasurer and
that Major Andersons boom for state
senator has been accelerated

NO TRUTH IN LIT.
Spanish Story of Fight Near Jamai-
ca is Fake.

Washington, May 3O.-OfficiaIs of the
navy department not only discredit the
report sent out of a naval engagement
near, Jamaica Friday but declare with
the utmost positiveness that it did not
occur. Advices from Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley clearly indicate
that the statements contained in the
Madrid story are without the slightest
foundation in fact.
Secretary Long was shown a copy Of
the dispatch. After reading it he said:
TT is an interesting story, although it
entirely lacks the element of truth
You will notice that it is regarded with
suspicion even in Madrid. 1t comes to
US from Paris, where it was received
from some unnamed place after being
filtered through the Spanish capital
No, there is absolutely no truth in it,"

BRYAN AMONG THE FIRST.
He Thinks Every Citizen Should
Serve His Country

Lincoln, Neb., May 30.-In the course
of an interview today Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned his acceptance of a commission
to raise a regiment, saying:
81 believe it to be the duty of every
citizen to serve his country, whether in
peace or war, in whatever capacity his
services may be required. On the day
that war was declared I sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President McKin-
ley:
April 25, 1S9S-William Mckinley,
President: I hereby place my services
at your command during the war with
Spain and assure you of my willingness
to perform. to the best of my ability,
any duty to which you, as commander
in-chief of the army and navy, may see
fit to assign me.
w. J. BRYAN
Mr. Bryan said he was not assigned
and therefore felt justified in his effort
to recruit a regiment.

For small children, the colors are
positively startling, and you see wool
plaids which, in brilliancy, rival all the

There is a wool plaid that combines
red, green and blue without particle

insertion of red cloth embroidery,
which is sold by the yard.
With this material, bright red
girdle is worn, and in the house the lit
