The New York World backs up its
Dewey presidential boom with the toll
lowing:
We have had five wars-the Revolu-
tionary war, the war with England in
1872, the Mexican war, the civil war
and the war with Spain
What has been the relation Of these
wars to the presidency?
Gen. George Washington the Revo-
1utionary soldier who was first in
war was chosen as the first president
and became first in peace and first in
the hearts of his countrymen."
Gen Andrew Jackson, the leading
spirit of the war of 1S12-the hero of
New Orleans'-was made president.
Gen Zachary Taylor, the popular
hero OF the war with Mexico, though he
was not a candidate and had never
mixed in politics." became president.
to the confusion of those astute poll
ticians Cass and Van Buren,.
Gen Grant, the foremost soldier of
the Union in the civil war, whose party
relations were so vague as to be I'M
known, and whose first choice was to
remain soldier, was carried irresist-
IDLY into the presidential chair over the
heads of statesmen and politicians Of
large ability and long public service.
Were not these elections of military
heroes to the presidency of a peaceful
republic consequences rather than CO.
medicines?
Now. who is the hero-the first man
Of the war with Spain? Is 1t Mckinley ?
Is It Shafter? Is it Roosevelt? Is it
Otis? Or is it Aiger? Who is the man
who did the most brilliant service
Who viii live in history as the hero
pre-eminent of this war as Washing

the heroes of the wars which made
them presidents?
Who is the MANI
Now, dear brethren Of the Republican
press, who consider the nomination of
Dewey by the Democrats preposterous,

simple inquiry

port to the proprietors his impressions
of Coffeyville and will have them make
a definite proposition to the CONNER
cial club of this city.
Mr.. Mckee gives some interesting IN
formation regarding the results Of COT
feyville's having the show winter here.
He says the show spends from $4,000 to
$50, 900 per year for winter expenses.
Not only is feed purchased in i'm
mense quantities but the shows whole
outfit is overhauled each winter, and
repaired throughout. thus meaning the
expenditure among mechanics of con-
siderable money.
Lemen Bros. will need ten acres of
ground with a building 100x40 feet in
dimensions. Besides this there will be
an office building, cottages. blacksmith
shop and other buildings. They will not
build leased ground. They own
their own ground at Argentine and will
sell it and invest the money here if they
decide to locate in CoffeYville.

CoFFEYv1LLE JOURNAL SUED.
@. w. Kent Asks For $500 Damages
CharginE Libel

Coffeyville. Oct. &C. w. Kent, editor
of the COffeyVille Independent, has COM
menced suit for damages, in district
court. against w. G. Weaverling and I.
r. Arbogast, proprfetors of the Corey
vile Journal, on account of an alleged
slanderous and damaging publication
made by the Journal last May.
Mr.. Kent, in his petition, quotes the
Journal publication wherein he was
represented as a moral leper, despised
of men, etc, and alleges that such pub
LEGATION is false and calculated to do
him great harm. He alleges that he
has been a resident of Coffeyville for
seven years. during which time he has
been a citizen of good name, fame and
reputation, and that he deserved and
received the respect and esteem of his
fellow citizens, that he was a member
of the G. A. r. and of good moral and
social standing in that order.
Mr.. Kent thinks that 81, 500 is not too
much for the Journal to pay for it's
abuse of him and asks judgment for
that amount.
The Journal proprietors say that they
will fight the case to the bitter end
without compromise.

TAKEN TO ALMA.
Negro Murderers Leave County Jail
Today.

James Render and Dick Williams;
known as Denver Kid" and ''Trilby,
were taken to, Alma this morning to an
sWer to the charge of numbering Harry
G. Tandy OF Creighton, Missouri and an
unknown man at Mcfarland, June =.
Sheriff True arrived from Alma Mon
day night to take the prisoners there to
stand trial at this term of the district
court which convened Monday. Sheriff
Cook believed that there was great dan
ger of lyuching and even feared trouble
In Topeka. He secretly struggled the
prisoners out of the side door of the coun-
~ jail and into hack and drove to the
Santa Fe depot with Sheriff True just in
time to catch the Santa Fe train for
Burlingame where the party changed and
took the Manhattan, Alma & Burlingame.
Williams was unconcerned, but Render
was badly scared and fears that both Of
them viii be lynched in Alma. Sheriff
True said he had no fear of lyncEing as
but few people would know the prisoners
were to be there and there had been no
talk of that kind.
Both williams and Render have told
the officers that they would rather plead
guilty in Topeka than to go to Alma for
trial. The officers expect both to plead
guilty and If they do so in time they will
be brought back to Topeka this afternoon
on the o'clock train.
williams is the man who hung by
mob but was cut down and resuscitated.

Wellington Makes a Move Hurt
full to Kansas City
Expect to Take the Grain Away
From That Point.
RECEIVING ELEVATOR
or Vast Capacity to Be Erected
at Once.
VIII Make Wellington the
Wheat Center of Kansas.

Wellington, Oct. S.-The Hunter Mill
iIsg company is contracting for the
erection of a big receiving elevator to
be used in connection with their big
100, 900 bushels storage elevator, which
will mark an epoch in the grain bust
ness in southern Kansas. Mr.. Hunter
expressed its full meaning in a few
words today, when asked about the i'm
portance of the new elevator. He said;
I'VE are going to take the grain away
from Kansas City now"
Southern Kansas has had enough or
Kansas City, and all that is needed to
completely turn the tide of grain away
from the Missouri river town is re-
state, such as the Hunters propose to
build. Very little grain from this part
of the state has been shipped by way OF
Kansas City in recent years, and the
situation has become so critical with
the Kansas City board of trade that
they have threatened to boycott the
railroads for refusing to haul all west
ern grain by way of that point. The
railroads have received the threat in
silence, relying upon the grain Shippers
of this section to stand by them. Ihe
one thing they have always needed to
totally ignore Kansas City is receiv-
ing elevator of sufficient capacity to
handle the business.
The Hunter elevator will have a ca
pacity of fifty carloads a day-suffi-
cient to take care of all the southern
Kansas shipments to the south
This movement has another feature
of importance: the making of Well
ington the greatest wheat shipping
center in the state. Wheat from all
parts of Kansas and Oklahoma will
come here for cleaning and Wellington
will in a way inherit Kansas City's ad-
Vantages as a grain shipping center.

OPPOSED TO IT.
Sentiment Against Kansas City Ad-
vertising Scheme.

At the meeting of the general and
finance committees today having in
charge the reception to the Twentieth
Kansas it was the general expression
that the scheme of the Kansas City
newspaper men in regard to an official
programme be not endorsed.
The overwhelming sentiment was
against the plan for raising revenue by
means of advertisements in a pro-
gramme, by which one-half the amount
subscribed for advertising would go to
the Kansas City correspondents and
the other half to the Twentieth Kansas
committee; and that no scheme for
soliciting advertising for a programme
would be sanctioned or authorized;
that the people would be asked to sub
scribe to the fund as a matter of pride
and patriotism, with no advertising
scheme attached.
It is believed the merchants and pro-
fessionaI men will give because they
wish to honor the Twentieth Kansas,
their state, the city and themselves and
that they want the committee to get
100 cents and not so cents on each dol
lar of their contributions.

YOUNG CROWD WINS.
They Are Victorious at T. A A. Elec-
ton of Directors.

The seventh annual meeting of the
Topeka Athletic association was held
last night in the club rooms for the
purpose of electing the board of direc-
tors for the coming year.
The young element was out in full
force with a slate made up and they
carried it. For several years the young
members of the association have en-
deavored to control the management Of
the association by electing a majority
of the board and each time have been
defeated by an overwhelming vote. For
several weeks before last nights cleo
ton the younger members had been
quietly working and when the votes
were counted they won easily. About
rs members out of the $50 were present.
The following directors were elected:
J. W. Thurston, J. w. F. Hughes, Frank
N. Bonebrale, W. A. Morton.J S. War
ner, Levi Hawkins, Adrian Sherman, F.
O. Burkett and Clarence Smith. The
board will undoubtedly re-elect Presi-
dent Thurston and make Mr.. Hawkins
secretary.
