SAMSON A CANDIDATE.
Asks the Republican Nomination For
Fourth Ward Councilman.

To the Editor of the State journal:
l would like to say to the Republican
voters of the Fourth ward that should
be very much pleased to receive from
them the nomination for councilman at
the coming spring primaries; if a clear
and fiat aVowal of what my course
shall be meets with their approval,
should like the office, but on any other
terms do not desire it. It may be
early to suggest it, but possibly by this
method some of my friends may look
kindly upon my ambition instead of be-
coming candidates themselves I have
some strong convictions as to what
councilman should do to further the in
terests of Topeka and at the proper
time will not hesitate to express them,
so that every voter will know just
where 1 stand. 1t will be on my eX-
pected conduct in the council that
shall request the nomination. There
are many things in our municipality
that should engage our immediate and
undivided attention. 1 would like the
opportunity to take a. more active part
than my place as a private citizen has
permitted me to take in the past.
A local street railway from Kansas
City is building to sap the trade of our
home retail merchants; the waterworks
proposition is on and half dozen very
important things. I wish to say 1 am
not handicapped by obligations orprom-
ises, and will at all times be with our
home merchants. mechanics, laborers,
and the beautiful city of Topeka for
their everlasting prosperity as against
every sort of scheme, combination or
syndicate. Very respectfully,
c. H SAMSON

AN OFFICIOUS DOCTOR.
Permits Violation of Quarantine and
Is Promptly Called Down.

The family of Andy Dupree, colored, is
quarantined at the home near Center
street and Washington. Last night Of
hcer Charles Smith found a member of
quarantined family on his way up town
The officer knew that the family is
quarantined and ordered the man to go
back to the house. He accompanied the
man to the house. He found DR.. G. S.
Sunday, a young colored doctor, there
Dr. Sunday arrogantly told the officer
medicine and that the officer had no
structed the family to go and come as
they pleased as the city had no right to
enforce the quarantine. Officer Smith
said he would not decide the question
whether the city had right to order
quarantine or not but he did know that
the people of the city wished it enforced.
He enforced it in that case.
Officer Smith was right and the city
needs more men like him. The quaran-
tine has been ordered by the city board Of
health and it should be enforced. DR..
Sunday threatens to have Officer Smith
reprimand for his act. If. DR.. Sunday
intends to take the question of quaran-
tine into his own hands he will find that
his grand stand play will not be tOlerat-
ed. The people of Topeka want to have
the orders of the board of health obeyed
The sooner DR.. Sunday and some other
physicians find out that the people of
Topeka are in earnest and will tolera tie
no laxity in the enforcement of the quar-
antine the better it will be. There are
laws regarding the conduct of physicians
and they can be reSOrted to.

that he was shot by Officer Hall on Mon

that Wright was only half shot. He had

he would have been shot. What he want

be appeased. Fillmore and Arthur dis
carded the friends of the dead presi-
detn, and Tyler and Johnson reversed
their politics and policies. The power
in control at the White House and in
congress sought to minimize the vice
president and make him obscure and
innocuous. Happily for Mr.. Hobart
there was no conflict over candidates
in the convention which nominated
William Mckinley. The partizans of
defined policies had selected him as
their best exponent in advance There
were no disappointed and vengeful in
terests to be reconciled. The choice set
tied upon Hobart as the most fit and
available running mate for the Ohio
statesman. Coming thus into this high
office, his talent of common sense, and
his charm of personality, made him,
from the beginning, the friend and
chosen counsellor of the president. He
lifted the office out OF the rut of con-
VentiOnality and possibility to a posi-
ton of dignity, usefulness and trust. He
won the warm affection of his party
associates and the esteem and respect

CoTTRELL's JOKE.
Wants Breeders to Hold Meetings at
Manhattan.

The authorities of the State Agricul-
tural college are attempting to cause
a radical departure from the usual Gus
tom of the stock breeders association
by petitioning that the next annual
meeting be held there.
The invitation was forwarded to the
association by H. M. Cottrell, in an
effort to secure the present meeting for
Manhattan.
The executive officers did not care
to take the responsibility of changing
the plan to meet in Topeka. The invi-
tation was thereupon renewed for next
year.
The constitution provides that the
annual meeting be held in Topeka, and
there is no Indication of a desire on
the part of the members of the organ
ization, to leave Topeka.
Professor Cottrell says the weekly
papers at Manhattan could advertise
the meeting better than it could be done
in any other way. Professor Cottrell is
a joke on this proposition.

to make an appropriation of s2O0O0 as a
guarantee fund. This is done simply to
show to the world that the state is in
earnest and that everything attempted
will be carried out.
The promoters of the fair believe that it
can be arranged and held without con-
Stunning a cent of the guarantee fund.
The request for an appropriation, if it
be made. is simply to assure prospective
exhibitors and patrons that the fair is
on a sound financial basis and the man.
agement means business.
In the event such a fair is held it is
probable that Secretary f. D. Coburn or
the state board of agriculture, will be
given the management thereof and fur
nished help sufficient to enable him to
make the fair the success which he has
made of the department of agriculture.
The agrieulturists and the breeders
are in earnest on this proposition and are
confident that the fair can be made a
wonderful SUCCESS.
