BILL GREEN'S BILL
Presented One to the Pops Which
WAS Not Allowed

William Flavius Green, the Popul1st
statesman, had a little bill which he pre-
scented at the meeting of the Pops on
Saturday The bill was for $40, but it was
not allowed. William Green arose, waved
his hand in a majestic way and said:
Gentlemen" He then took several in
hales of pure Kansas atmosphere and
waited for the word gentlemen to have
due effect Gentlemen" said the Fourth
ward boss. 81 have a small bill which I
wish to present 1t was incurred when
the metropolitan police was investigated

He had hardly got the word out Of his
mouth when up jumped a farmer COM
mitteeman. He didn't mince words, nor
was he long III putting a puncture into
Wllie's motion.
I'm feminist allowing any bills for in
vestigating police boards. II soma peo-
pie hadn't been so fast it's likely there
would have been less trouble about police
boards and commissions. What right did
Bill Green have to investigate anybody
for. I'd like to know?"
When he finished the perspiratioR was
running down the boss face in .arge
round drops, hut he contained himself,
and cast a plying look on the objection
ist He said nothing and the motion was
drowned under a majority vote and the
hot summer weather. VIII Green sat IN
the shade, smiled wiped his glasses and,
drawing his handkerchief across his brow,
said ''ahem-"

FARMER ROBBED
THIEVES GET INTO THE HOUSE
Off. Il. McCIeIIand and Take $4,000
in Money and Paper.

Yesterday ]. E. McClelland, a wealthy
farmer living between here and Goddard,
was robbed Of more than $4,000 in money
notes and mortgages.
McCelland is bachelor, and hires a
man with a family to keep house for
him. Last week the family that had been
with him for number of years left and
he had not secured any other. He kept
his money and papers locked in a heavy
trunk. Yesterday he was out all the
forenoon at work and when he came
home he found his trunk smashed in and
the money and papers gone. There was
about $1,lO0 in money, 81, 900 in mortgages
and notes and a check on the Fourth
National bank for g 800 missing.
Neither Mr. McC1elland nor the ocers
here have any idea as to who did the
work, though it is suspicioned that some
one acquainted with the premises COM
mitted the theft.

TWO ROUGH RIDERS
Wounded in the Fight at San
tiago.
ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY
Lieutenant Winthrop and Pri-
yate Ralle.
ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY

Lieutenant ]. Winthrop of Stroud. O. +,
here yesterday from Santiago. Cuba,
where they were in the charge Of the
Rough Riders. Both Of the gentlemen
were injured, and are now of on sick
leave. Lieutenant Winthrop belonged 10
company L. as did Private Rale. The
former was first lieutenant in Captain
Capron's company. He was close by when
Captain Capron fell dead from a Spanish
bullet He took command OF the com
pany, but only for a few minutes. as he
received a shot in the right side. Pri
vate Ralle Jared a little the worse, he
having got bullet in the calf of the
right leg. Both of the soldiers are now
off on sick leave. Their wounds have
nearly healed, but they are unfit for duty
as yet.
Lieutenant Winthrop said last night
that he thought the war was over and
that he would not have to return. He
mp.ained of the intense heat. and said
that when he left the men were in fair
condition physically. but that he had
grave fears on account Of the yellow
fever. Over one hundred men came over
to Tampa on the same hospital ship that
brought Lieutenant Winthrop and Private
Ralle.
Both of the gentlemen were very reti-
cent about their own or the deeds Of their
comrades. Lieutenant Winthrop said,
however, that in the charge that there
were sixteen wounded and seven killed
outright. In speaking of the charge, he
said that they started on foot, which in
his opinion was bad move. They went
to the right. preceded by about 1000 Gu
bans. The fire was desultory until the
Rough Riders reached the extreme right,
when they got into ambush and were fired
on unmerciful.y by the Spaniards. IN
order to reach the right they went
through narrow path, which was barely
passable, owing to the thick tropical I'M
derbrush. They were without advance
guard, and were caught in the trap before
they were aware Of their perilous portl-
Gus position The Riders" stood the fire
heroically and fired into the brush
wherever they saw a puff of smoke. For
an hour and half the fight continued
with unrelenting vigor. The Spaniaris
finally retreated to the city, leaving many
dead and wounded in the underbrush.
Lieutenant Winthrop and Private Ralle
will be here until Friday, when they
leave for their homes in Oklahoma. Lieu
tenant Winthrop has number of photo
graphs and sketches of the country with
him, which he Will keep as mementoes
of his first battle.

INJUNCTION
Is ASKED BY sTEIxBUCHEL
To Prevent Building of Dam in the
Little River.

H. Steinbuchel yesterday filed in the
district court papers asking for an order
from Judge Dale restraining City Engi-
neer jackson from building the dam
across the Little river at the lower end
Of Griswold park. He alleges that to put
a dam across the river overfows some
Of his land above and renders it COM
paratively useless. and asks for the ir-
junction simply as q matter Of justice
and protection.
Some progress had already been maze
by the city in putting in the dam, and II
was confidently expected that the river
would be good for boating By next sun
day No one who visits the park has
failed TO notice how mucn a good dep;h

JUST THE SAME HERE.

All the republican nominees in this
state for congress, believe in an honest
dollar-or in other words, a standard OF
value that shall make all money of an
equal value that circulates among the
people; not a standard that shall rob
the laboring and producing classes in
the interest of the monied classes, as
would be the case if we had dollar
worth less than par. The democratic
nominees for congress without exception
believe in the heresy of the free coinage
of silver at ratio of Is to /, and il
elected would vote for free coinage al
that ratio, and, il successful, iniure the
country financially beyond calculation
The safety of the country depends upon
the continuance of republican major
ity in congress and every republican in
this congressional district should vote
for the republican nominee. Rice Lake
