AUDITOR INDExING.
Records Have Been In Very Bad Con-
dition.

The employees Of the Office Of the
state auditor are busy refling and
putting into shape the wagon loads of
records with which that office is af-
f1icted. These records have been stack
ed away in corners, in old boxes and
were strewn around in different parts
of the department until a days time
would be necessary to devote to the dis
covery of some record or document OF
the past.
Now these records, which consist
mainly of vouchers are being put into
fling cases in a series, numbered and
tabulated in such a manner that the
records of the office will be easy of ac-
cess. For the important records a new
steel filing case of large dimensions
has been put into the vault and there
the documents will be stored. They
will be safe in case of fire and will also
be preserved from danger There are
some vouchers on file in that depart
ment which represent raids made in
years gone by on the treasury which
the authors would like to get into their
possession, but the storage of the
vouchers in the vault will remove that
danger

NO TRACK NOW.
N. A. Low Says There Is No Truth In
Story of Kansas City Line.

An old story is revived in a half col
umn write up in a Kansas City morning
paper today, with regard to the Rock
Island road building a line of its own
between Topeka, Leavenworth and
Kansas City.
The story as published says that this
line will leave Kansas City on the north
of the kaW river in Argentine, thence
across the river and down the south
bank to Turner, thence across the river
again and following the north side of
the river to Topeka At Nuncie
branch line will be built to Leaven-
worth.
This rumor of the Rock Island pro-
posing to build it's own line between
Topeka and Kansas City is periodically
Matched up and printed by some news
paper in some part of the country. No
doubt the facts that gave rise to this
rumOr at this time are based on the
knowledge that the Rock Island road
has for the past few weeks been negO-
tiating for several pieces of land which
are adjacent to their new freight
house recently built at Fourteenth and
Wyoming streets, wanted for track IA
cilities.
In regard to this Tumor that the Rock
Island would Immediately begin laying
their own track between Topeka and
Kansas City, Mr.. NJ. A. Low, general
attorney of the Rock Island said:
There is no truth in the report that
the Rock Island is contemplating at
this time the laying of a. track of their
own between Topeka and Kansas City.
The report is merely a newspaper fairy
story

Chester /. Long Would Punish
w. M. Wallace.
Has Dared to Oppose the Sew
enth District Statesman.
DIRE THREAT MADE.
Would Gust the Kingman Man
From Petty Position.
Mr.. Wallace Continues to Saw
Wood and Say Nothing.

The politicians are discussing the plan
said to have been adopted by Chester
I. Long to punish w. NJ. Wallace of
Kingman for his presumption in be-
coming a candidate for congress in the
Seventh district. Longs plan is one of
punishment Although some of his
methods, there are some of the pOliti-
clans who refuse to believe that the
rumOr is untrue.
Wallace is a deputy internal revenue
collector and it is said that Longs plan
is to have Wallace removed from the
position he now occupies for Offensive
partisanship.'
If this should be brought about it will
be the first case on the political record
of Kansas in which a Republican office
holder has been removed for such con-
duct.
When Grover Cleveland laid himself
liable to the charge of standing in with
the Mckinley supporters as against
Bryan 1ree silver, pOStmaSterS and other
government officials who We're advocat-
ing that idea were removed all over the
United States. But a case in which a
Republican was thus compelled to suf-
fer for such conduct has not yet been
reported in the political annals of the
state.
The rumor that Long is attempting
such a move through some of his infiu-
ential friends has set the politicians
talking at great rate. Many of them
with whom Long is by no means popu-
lar, say that he will surely attempt to
bring about this -ebuke for Wallace.
There are others who denounce the
story as d political fabrication tended
friends Mr.. Long denies the story and
Mr.. Wallace is keeping still.
