PINGREE HASN'T QUIT.
Will Try Again For Municipal Street
Cars.

Detroit, Mich, July 14.-It is reported
that Governor Pingree, as soon as the
council finally adopts the municipal
railway ordinances will bend his ener-
gies to securing a special session of the
Legislature for the purpose of providing
for the submission of a constitutional
amendment to the people permitting
the city of Detroit to go into the mum
icipal ownership of street railways. The
governor hopes to get the special ses-
sion in operation some time before the
November elections and announcement
of the plan will be formally made with
in a few days. The information comes
from a close counsellor of Mr.. PinSree.
The governor has issued a proclama-
tion to the people calling attention to
the efforts of the enemies of the peO-
pie" to defeat the , cent fares for
which he has been struggling for ten
years and appealing to them to stand

by the enemies of the people 1t is the
last play in the great fight to secure
the passage of the franchise ordinance

tickets will be sold on all lines with
universal transfers.

adopting this as a subterfuge; that he
really looks to Shawnee county as the
salvation of his boom for congress and
for that reason cult1VateS the trlendSnlp
of the ShaWnees by announcing his
friendship for their chosen candidate.
Mr.. Ingalls, has the friendship of many
Topeka Republicans but the leaders
among them claim they will not give up
the fight for Curtis until they are whip
ped in the convention. This condition,
the Bailey and BrOderick people claim
they viii bring a bout and suggest that
if the ShaWnees stand by Curtis they
will die in the ditch.
Astute politicians and figurers who
take some part in the destruction OF
CONCEALED water in this county say that
ingalls, is standing in the shadow OF
Curtis boom. That the sarcastic, elo-
quent and brilliant ex-senator will not
now announce his readiness to serve the
people but that he will wait until the
cards turn against Curtis and that then
he will step into the breach and count
on a sufficient number of other dele
gates joining with the Shawnees, to
give him the nomination.
One of the reasons why the politicians
want to keep Ingalls, down is found in
the fact that they believe a term in con-
gress would place ingalls, in a position
to become a formidable candidate for
senator to succeed W. A. Harris 1t is
argued that ingalls, has influence at
Washington and by industry could SO
endear himself to the people of his dis
trict that a united support would be

unusual attention and prove an adVer-

lated all over the state, claim some of
Ingalls, supporters. His record would
make him popular; his influence would
make him strong and his candidacy for
the senate would at once become formid-
able. they say.
Men who have a design on Mr.. Har-
ris place want Ingalls, kept out of con-
gress. Cyrus Leland and his followers
in the First district are against Ingalls,
because the ex-senator claims a new
deal is needed in Kansas politics. There
are lots of men in Kansas who are mad
at Leland and quietly say the same as
among them who has the courage to
Some men claim that Ingalls, can
dldacy for congress would place hir il
a position to lead the fight against Le-
land. Several politicians who have at
tempted this have burned their fingers
and later the bridges on their march to
get back into Leland's camp. There are
many Republicans in the First district
who claim Leland is not their kind of a
man but they stick to him because he
seems to be able to get a good job for a
friend whenever he chooses to do so.
As he and ingalls, are enemies it is not
strange that Ingalls, should insist on a
new deal while Leland just as stoutly
maintains that his methods are all
right. As to these two men in the First

First in the line was Major Noble Gen.

lowed by the Californians who shared
the cheers with the Oregonians.
Then came the regiment headed by

band. AS the men marched, company G

then battery c, of the Third artillery
All along the line OF march the men
were cheered to the echo and bands
hired by individuals played lively
music. AS the soldiers passed the Pal
ace hotel they were deluged with flow
ers thrown from the windows by the
guests. At the junction of Third Mar
ket and Kearney streets, the crowds
were immense and the three morning
papers which have offices on the corner
of those streets Wed with each other to
see which could make the most noise.
A curious sight was long streamers of
immense fire crackers, which dangled
from the roof of a high building. AS
the soldiers neared this point, the
crackers were lighted and the racket
they made was awful.
Gen. Shafter and his staff and Gov
ernor Geer of Oregon and his staff and
many notable army officers reviewed
the parade as it passed up Vanness av-
enue toward the Presidio. As the men
passed the reviewing stand, they cheer
ed continuously.
When the Preside was reached the
men were given a rest and then COM
/ menced the work of going into camp.
Here they will rest under military dis
cipline for two or three weeks Then
the final muster out will take place and
they will be sent to their northern
homes by train.

terday afternoon at Alikchi, in the
ChOctaw nation. The scene of the re-
ported execution is over 35 miles from
Goodland, the nearest telegraph sta

The correspondent reports that the
execution took place in spite of writ
of habeas corpus issued by Federal
Judge John r. Thomas at Tulsa, l. T.,
and forwarded to the Choctaw sheriff
at Alikchi by telegraph and courier the

have consulted the judge of the Choc-
taW court VINO sentenced the prisoner
to be shot, with the result that the
ChOctaw judge ordered him to ignore
the writ and execute the order of the
tribal court
The correspondent describes the exc
cutlOn as follows:
A few minutes before Going was led
out four Choctaws appeared bearing u
coffin. 1t was deposited in front of the
court house, near where a quilt was
spread. The condemned man. supported
by Sheriff Watson and a deputy and
escorted by 20 light horsemen, marched
down the line of spectators. He bade
them goodbye.
Going then kneIt on the quilt blind
folded. The sheriff barred his bosom,
painting a spot over his heart, stepped
back four PAGES, rested a Winchester
across a bench and fired. The bullet
entered the breast but missed the spot.
Going fell backward and moaned pit
eOusly for an hour before expiring.

strangulation- While the execution
was proceeding District Attorney Clay

Inasmuch as he is silent on the sub
ject it is assumed that no change has
occurred in the health of Admiral
Dewey and his men since their depart
ure from Hong Kong, when all were re-
ported well. 1t is said at the navy de-
partment that the admiraPS reference to
-'pratique'' means simply that he is

health that will enable him to continue
his voyage through the Mediterranean

of political sagacity which would to say
the least be wonderful. but the friends
of Curtis and Bailey say ingalls, viii
never get into the race. They claim that
he has pledged himself to Curtis and
that he can not manage to get away
from that promise honOrably and in
case of a deadlock hope thereafter to
gain any support from Shawnee county.
The politicians are saying many un-
kind things about the present attitude
of Mr.. ingalls, and the suggestion has
been made by some of them that the ex-
senator should stop begging the ques-
ton as to his attitude but come out
boldly and announce his desire to run
for congress if he has any such feel
