Woman Physician Elected at

While the Shawnee county Republi-
cans are fighting over the deputy grain
inspectorship, A. w. Wickham, the Sa-
lima man whose commission Governor
Stanley held up, has gone to work and
is assisting F. w. Frasius, the Populist
deputy, with the work over the river.
Governor Stanley has given the con-
testants until today to settle their griev-
ances at home and the appointment is
likely to take place some time today or
tomorrow.
The Wyatt supporters, who are head
ed by Dave Mulvane, declare that I'M
less Wyatt be named, the place shall
not go to a Shawnee county man.
The grain men are holding out for
W1ckham, but say that if it is impossi-
BILE for him to get the place because he
is a Salina man, they will unite on
Thomas Cross. The grain men say
Governor Stanley will finally issue a
commission to Wickham. They oppose
Wyatt and the belief that they will be
able to overcome the governors opposi-
ton to Wickham impeIs them to re-
fuse to accept the governors suggestion
to get together on a Shawnee county
man. Unless the Shawnees unite the
appointment is likely to go to Wickham
or some new man.
