Mayor Jones of Toledo States His Po-
sition on Governorship

Columbus, O., June 29.-In letter to
a Columbus friend Mayor S. M. Jones
of Toledo announces himself ready to
stand as the candidate of an indepen-
dent movement for governor. He says:
It have no inclination whatever to
rush into a movement of the kind. On
the other hand, I do not propose to
shirk if it shall appear that the time has
arrived to make a campaign of educa-
ton over a great state that would
be of more value than ten years of mere
preaching and teaching.
Il have nothing to cOncede and am
more than ever convinced that the day
of political parties is passing. Parties
and nartv machines will find themselves
ont of a lob so to speak They are an
extensive and frfghtful burden on the
body polite They are a positive men
ace to liberty and stand directly ath-
wart the path of progress"

PREPARING TO RESIST.
Filipinos Are Fortifying Throughout
the Archipelago.

Victoria, B. c., June 29.-Advices from
Hakodate state that Captain Sakichi
of the steamer HOkokU Maru, just re-
turned from the Philippines, reports
that in the southern islands the young
Filipinos are constructing Qualifications
against emergencies. Every port is
garrisoned by a thousand or so volun-
teers, whose weapons, however, are
very crude, only about 20 per cent being
armed with rifles, Remingtons. They
are, however. full of patriotism and
state that they will not yield to the
Americans though the whole of the ISL
ands are destroyed.
The Hokol1u Maru was warmly well
coined by the Tilipinos, who consider
the Japanese to be of a kindred race
and hoped for assistance from them.
The Filipinos were prepared to pay
for arms and ammunition and said the
Japanese vessels visiting the islands
could take in return cargOes of hemp.
Captain Sakichi says he only sold the
insurgents two revolvers and the cooks
knives.

WILL WELCOME KRIEG.
Old Ball Player Would Start a Team
in ToDeke.

w. F. Krieg. an old league player. is
on his way to Topeka to revive the
baseball fever which has been anguish
ing and to start 4 ball team.
Mr.. Krieg lives in Chillicothe, Ill, and
is we'll known in baseball circles. Up to
the time of the disbandment of the
Western association he was playing
with Bloomington. Mr.. Krieg believes
that Topeka is a good place for a bail
team and he is willing to invest some
money in the enterprise provided he
finds proper interest is manifested in
the game. Since the disbanding of the
association there are plenty of good
players who can be signed for the re-
matnder of the season. Mr.. Kriegs in
tention is to organize team and play
the season out and be in shape to enter
a league next year.
'Krieg is an old time player and a
good one" said Al Mauck, secretary OF
the T. A. A. HE is a gentleman and a
good business man. There has been a
dearth of baseball in this part of the
country for some time and next year a
league will undoubtedly be organized
with probably Omaha, Des Moines.
Sioux City, Lincoln and st. Joe. There
will be a chance for Topeka, Atchison
and EmpOria.''

NOT AN INVITED GUEST.
Why o. H. p. Belmont Was ShabbiIy
Treated in Louisville.

Louisville, KY. June 29.-A suit over
hack bill in a magistrates court today
disposed of the article of 0. H. P Bel
mont in his paper, The Verdict, to the
effect that he had been shabbily treated
during the convention of the Ohio VAL
ley League of Bimetallic clubs in Louis
vile.
The Louisville Carriage company sued
John l. Dunlap for $24 alleged to be due
for carriage hire for Mr.. Belmont. At
the last moment Mr.. Dunlap paid the
bill. but the real story of the treatment
of Mr.. Belmont came out.
When the speakers were being invited
to the banquet, Mr.. Dunlap requested
w. j. Semonin, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, and G. c. Roe,
chairman of the banquet committee, to
invite Mr.. Belmont. Both refused to
do so, but out of courtesy to Mr.. Dun
lap made the request of the sub-com-
mittee on speakers of which Charles I.
Stewart was chairman.
After comforting with the other men,
bers, Messrs. Mckay and Allen Smith,
Mr.. Stewart announced that under no
circumstances would Mr.. Belmont be in
V1ted. The reason was that at a free
silver banquet it would not be quite the
thing to have a speaker of Mr.. Bel
mOnts well known anti-16-tO-1 ideas.
On the day following Mr.. Dunlap
went again to Mr.. Semonin and Mr.. Roe
and stated that at the antitrust meet
ing in St. Louis on May 80 he had in
vited Mr.. Belmont to come to the ban
quet. He wanted to know if he could
not personally extend a more pressing
invitation and have Mr.. Belmont placed
on the list of speakers. After a con-
sultation with Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. Dunlap
was informed that there was no objec-
ton to his inviting Mr.. Belmont as his
individual guest, but that he could not
have a place on the list of speakers 1t
was suggested, however, that Mr.. Bel
mont might come under the head of
'-other prominent Democrats" and as
such might have q chance to speak
after all set speeches had been made.
Thereupon Mr.. Dunlap wired Mr.. Bel
mont another invitation and it was ac-
cepted. Mr. Belmont and party arrived
and Mr.. Dunlap arranged to have car
riages at their disposal The arrange
ment committee refused to pay the bill,
Mr.. Belmont was not invited
guest; hence the suit.

urging the boy to go. AS result, he

angry to be called stubborn, when he

his vow. He has heard since that his
friend didn't say it.

TOO MUCH SUGAR.
Mission Township Sued on Account
of Old Bonds

A suit has been filed in the federal
court by Keeler & Hite, representing
W. S. Dodge, a capitalist of Cleveland,
Ohio, against Mission township to col
lect interest on $4,000 bonds, alleged to
be in default.
The bonds were issued in 1890, under a
special act of the legislature, for the
purpose of erecting a sugar mill They
were to run 20 years and bear per cent
interest. None of this interest has been
paid. There are 1853 unpaid coupons on
which suit is brought, aggregating
$5,22375. Interest to the amount of ST.
500 is also claimed on the coupons.
The contention of the township au-
thorities in the case is that the mill
was a private enterprise and the bonds
The mill was built contemplated, but
it was wiped out by the sugar trust
years ago.

MR.. BATTEY'S PLACE.
Will Give Up Work as Road Agent

Wisconsin he announced that appoint

of William Martindale, in the suits
against Martindale growing out of the
Cross bank failure.
Senator Battey is superintendent of
Insurance Church's chief examiner OF

his new job is even better than being
an insurance road agent.
A trustee bears the same relation to
