Four years ago Harry Richter, the
newly elected lieutenant governor of
Kansas, was sitting in the Copeland
lobby talking to a young newspaper
man The conversation drifted to pol
ltics and the subject of candidates was
brought up. Just at that time the men
who sought places on the Republican
ticket were announcing themselves
Harry, why don't you run for lieu
tenant governOr?" said the newspaper
man.
II have never thought about it," was
the reply.
''Weu, try st once. You can have
some fun at least, and 1 believe you
can get the nomination.
What makes you think SOP" came
the inquiry from Richter.
Then a discussion of the situation fol-
lowed and Richter was almost per-
suaded."
Il will announce your candidacy IN

If it takes hold let 'er go. If not after
a few days you can get out of the race
by declining"
"An right" said Richter.
The next day Mr.. Richter's name ap-
peared in a complimentary notice as a
new candidate for lieutenant governor
1t caught on" in great shape and he
was nominated. He was defeated In
1895, but not so in 1898.
Now Mr.. Richter says he will reward

THE QUEENS MIND.
Has Changed Regarding Interna
tional Marriages.

London, Nov. 12-The queen has
moved the court from Balmoral to
Windsor where she will reside for about
five weeks, thence going to Osborne,
Isle of Wight.
1t appears that her majesty recently
expressed her views on the marriages
of members of the English aristocracy
with American girls. She confessed that
she at first viewed these marriages with
some anxiety, but added that her fears
have since been completely allayed and
the queen now thinks that American
girls, from the breadth of their educa-
ton, independence and rapid changing
life are better able to adapt themselves
to a new environment than the more
stereotyped English girls.
The queen also thinks it unfair to in
sinuate that mercenary motives are
the frequent cause of the marriages of
tnpoXerished mobiles to heiresses.

lands FOR STATE PRINTER
He is a Geographical Candidate and
Nay Win on That

Some Of the Sixth district politicians
have suggested that the candidates for
state printer would do well to keep their
Farmer ''who,' they say, lis available
because of his location"
The governor, state treasurer and
state superintendent come from the
Seventh district A Seventh district
man wants on the state board of rail-
road commissioners and Morton Al
baugh of the same district may be pri-
Vate secretary to the governor. All of
these offices in the Seventh and nothing
in the way of recognition for the Sixth.
Now there are two estimable young
men in the Seventh who want to be
state printer. The rule of politics
would seem to be against them, claim
the Sixth district men, and Lands, they
say, has today a better chance than any
OF those who seek the Office.

STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES.
Disposal of the Present Members of
the Board.


The Republicans will have a majority
of the state board of charities to ap-
point as soon as Governor Stanley is in
augurated, and according to the state
ments of Mr. Stanley's close friends the
cleaning up of the state institutions
will begin early next year.
Three members of the board, Frank
Shane, H. G. Jumper and w D. Street
were appointed after the legislature ad-
journed and were not confirmed by the
senate. Consequently, their term of
Office expires at the pleasure of the gov
ernOr or at such time as he chooses to
name and commission their successors.
Jumper was appointed to succeed
George A. Clark; Street to succeed w.
L. Brown who went to the war as a
major in a Kansas regiment while Mr..
Shane was named to succeed T. E. Will
cockson OF Oakley.
P. H Dolan of Salina has told con-
fidential friends that he will resign his
place on the board when the Repubn-
cans take charge of state affairs and
give them full sway in all departments
so far as he can. If there is any one
who will hang on it is S. c. Wheeler of
COncOrdia, who from Governor Leedy
and other state officers, has received the
credit for considerable of the friction
between DR.. Wetmore and the board
which resulted in the WetmOre expos
ure. Wheeler was confirmed by the SEN
ate and unless investigated and re-
moved could hold his office until Febru-
ary g. 1900. Mr.. DOlan's term also ex-
pires at that time but he proposes to
resign.

he is Judge Pollock of Winfield in the

May Be Simpson, Crum and P. T.

A well known Republican politician

Here's my guess on the state board
of railroad commissioners: Republican
members: Jim Simpson of the Seventh
district and L. S. Crum of Labette
county in the Third district
"The Democratic member will be P.
T. Foley of Parsons who is in the same
county with Crum."
Although it is the general opinion that
the latter part of this guess is incOr-
rect, yet the candidacy of both Mr.
Simpson and Mr.. Crum is outspoken.

Jewell county which has been con-

many years was turned upside down
this year and returned a handsome Re
publican majority. Mr. Case was one of
the workers who brought about this re-
suit and it will be exhibited as one of
the reasons why Jewell county should
be recognized.

THE SANCY DIAMOND.
This Magnificent Jewel Will Be Owned b
pouIiro As+o~

This Magnificent Jewel Will Be Owned by
Pauline Aston.
In the ordinary course of events Miss
Pauline Aston will some day become
possessor of the most famous and mag
nificent diamond owned outside of a
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
by her father, and were it to appear
among the jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9TH
er gem there except the Kohinoor,
which the queen always wears on state
occasions as brooch.
The Sancy is a stone which is pos
.sessed of remarkable history. Weigh
ing about 81 carats, it at one time
formed part of the crown jewels of
Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy,
and on his death in battle IN Switzer-
land was found set either in his helmet
or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king of the day, and from that
time forth it became one of the crown
jewels of France.
1t disappeared at the time of the revo-
luton, reappeared at the restoration
and at the time Of the second revolu-
tion in 1880 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole Demidoff, the
Muscovite millionaire. 1t was worn for
a time by Demidoff's wife, Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte, but he took it
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul
Demidoff. The latter sold it in the six
ties for the sum of 5000, 600, ridicu-
lously small price, to the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy, the Parsee mil
lionaire and philanthropist of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market, and it was pur-
chased by William Waldorf Astor by
private contract, no mention being made
of the price paid. Philadelphia Times.
