TO TAP ZINC LANDS.
Goulds Will Likely Lead In South
west Missouri and Arkansas

St. Louis, Oct. 19.-Does the visit of
the Gould party to the lead and zinc
fields of southwest Missouri fore
shadow the building of the Missouri
Pacific extensions through the heart of
the rich mineral sections of the OzarkS2
When the railway magnates passed
through the city of st. Louis the other
day they gave it out that they would
proceed direct to Kansas City and
thence go direct to San Francisco to
look after some important matters. In
stead, Frank Jay Gould, w. H. Phelps
and other railway officials and mag
mates have been inspecting the Jasper
district and traversing the Ozark min
ing camp
The appearance of George Gould's
representatives in that territory has
given rise to rumors concerning the ex-
tension of the Missouri Pacific branch
from Bagnell, the terminus in Miller
county, to points through Missouri and
Arkansas, tapping the mineral and
fruit areas which are now miles from
transportation facilities.
There have been several surveys
made along the proposed route and the
towns along each are hopeful that the
tracks viii come their way.
Down in Arkansas, where much rich
ore has been recently unearthed, the
Gould visit Will be the subject of as
much speculation as in the sections of
Missouri through which the road has
been surveyed. They have been await
ing the coming of the road for years,
and the Gold visit may have some sig
nihcance in that section. It is thought
that the Gould party viii report favor
ably on an extension from BagnelI to
the southwestern Missouri district and
that it will continue along the original
surveys in Arkansas, where the same
inducements exist.

BOOMING BURTON
State Officers Are In Wichita
For That Purpose.
State Administration Is Almost
Solidly For Abilene Man.
NO TIME BEING LOST.
Burton Workers Are Actively
Engaged.
News From the Various State
House Departments.
20 TIME BEING LOST.

The gathering Of state officers at
Wichita this week IS for the purpose OF
pushing along J. r. Buttons campaign
for United States senator The state
officers who are in Wichita and who
are doing all in their power to aid Bur
ton are as follows:
Secretary, George A. Clark
Auditor, George E. Cole
Treasurer. f. E. Grimes
superintendent, Frank Nelson.
The managers of AIr. Burton's IN
terest also claim that at the proper
time Governor Stanley will throw his
influence to the Abilene man and Will
assist in defeating Mr.. Baker for re-
election
the state administration from top to
bottom. including the members OF the
court of visitation and a majority OF
the assistants in the various depart
ments.
There will be a big crowd of poll
ticians in Wichita this week and the
mission of the state officers VINO went
to that town as guests Of the governor
Will spend their time boosting Burton
This plan was disclosed TO a Journal
reporter today by one of Mr. Burton
The managers of Mr. Burton's cam
paign claim that he is gaining strength
every day in the eastern part of the
state where four years ago he was not
strong. They also claim that MS
chances in the Seventh district for a
goodly number of votes are better than
the opposition which claims everything,
viii admit.
They point with considerable pride to
the fact that Judge H c. SIuss of
Wichita, a man who is usually non
cOmmittal, recently said in a speech:
Republicans of Sedgwick county in
the campaign next year Will have an
opportunity to right a great political
wrong and give to Mr.. Burton that to
which he has been entitled for several
years. 1t was a wrong when the poll
ticians turned Nj. Burton down four
years ago; you Will have a chance to
right this in the next campaign"
Upon the strength of this declaration
it is said Representative Adams OF
SedgWick county has already announced
his candidacy for reelection to the
legislature as an avOwed Burton man.
The managers of the Burton cam
paign believe that the governors in
duence viii be added to the Burton
boom in Sedgwick county and upon
this is based the hope of carrying the
county in his interests
The Burton men say they are per-
fectly willing to adopt the plan which
cOntemplates an increase in the mem
bership of the Republican state con-
ventiOn to 1000 ana permit the conven-
ton to ballot on a choice for senator.
One of Buttons close friends said:
That plan would suit US exactly.
/ The friends of Mr.. Burton are not
| afraid to trust the settlement of this
/ question to the people. 1t is the poll

MYArT's SUCCESSOR
Politicians Are Discussing Who He
Is to Be

Since A. J. AIzatt Of Wichita. the
present solicitor of the court of vista
ton, has informed his friends and the
representatives of the present admin
istratiOn that he viii not be a candi-
date for the nomination for this place
next year the politicians are looking
over the material in sight TO find a
suitable man for the place
Two names have been suggested. The
first is J. s West, the bright lawyer
who is now assistant attorney general
having served as district judge at his
home, Fort Scott. for several years.
He, while in that position, earned the
distinction of being q first class lawyer.
The other man who has been talked
of is Ben Simpson of Paola- He has
for years been a prominent Republican
worker in the state and is regarded as
a valuable man to the party with which
he is identified.
The politicians seem to have figured
this place for the Second congressional
district In the event Fred Funston
should go into the race for congress-
man at large it will probably be
switched to the First district and given
to Judge Broderick of Holton.

a NOVEL BOYCOTT.
Chicago Ticket Scalpers Refuse TO
Handle Tickets of Certain Road

Chicago. Oct Bon the eve of a cam
paign to Iegfsiate the ticket scalper out
of business one of the big, railroads run
ming out of Chicago has been boycotted
by the brokers of this city for the nom
payment of commissions on tickets ham
died It is a decidedly novel action and,
so far can be learned. it IS the hrst
instance on record where a transporta-
ton company has been placed on the
sca1perS' black list for refusing to divide
on straight tickets furnished by the rail-
road.
The fact that the line concerned was
dealing with brokers was no surprise to
local railway men. but it had been pre-
sumed that the uiddlemen had been paid
for their services. tt seems that the boy
colt was instituted after the brokers had
endeavored in every way to obtain their
agreed remuneration The dealings or
the road in question with the street ticket
sellers covered a period of several months
When the matter was first taken UP by
the American Ticket Brokers association
the road owed the scalpers So, 600. The
officers of the line refused to recognize
the claims and the brokers threatened
suit. Then, it is alleged, an attorney rep
resentng the boycotted company came to
Chicago and effected a settlement by
agreeing to pay the scalpers 80 per cent
of their claims.
This proposition, it is said, was accepted
but the brokers blackIisted their migrate
full friend and now refuse TO handle its
tickets except such as have been partially
used
