HIS STATUS IN THE NAVY.
Dewey Does Not Believe He Would
Forfeit It if Elected.

Washington, April 6-Before announce
ing his candidacy for the presidency
Admiral Dewey Investigated his status
in the navy in the event of his election.
He has decided that he will not have to
resign his position in the service should
he be carried by popular wave into
the White House, nor by his acceptance
of the presidential office when he va
Gates his commission as admiral of the
navy, as Gen. Grant did when he as
sumed the presidential office. Since
Gen. Grants time there has been an
amendment to the law on this subject.
Admiral Dewey is convinced that sec
ton of the act approved July 2, 1894,
applies to his case. This is the language
of that section:
mo person who holds an office, the
salary or annual compensation attach
ed to which amounts to the sum of 81
500, shall be appointed to or hold any
other Office to which compensation is
attached, unless specially heretofore or
hereafter authorized thereto by law,
but this shall not apply to retired Of
fcers of the army or navy whenever
they may be elected to public office, or
whenever the president shall appoint
them to office by and with the advice
and consent of the senate
Before his inauguration, in the event
of his election, Admiral Dewey intends
to apply for retirement. Then, at the
end of his term he plans to resume his
duties at admiral.

AS AN INDEPENDENT.
Admiral Dewey Would Be Willa
ing to Make the Race.

New York, April 6.-"Admiral Dewey
stands willing to run for the presidency
on an Independent ticket"
So runs the New York Herald's Wash
ington dispatch recording the news
The correspondent adds:
Since the announcement as the peo-
pies candidate, he has, in conversation
with friends, who desired to know his
politics, stated that he is a Cleveland
Democrat. In conversation with a call
er this morning, he declared that he had
never voted in his life. and had no de-
cided political views until Mr.. Cleve-
lands last nomination.
Admiral Dewey has admitted to
friends that he was encouraged to enter
the race by a coterie of sound money
Democrats

II Admiral Dewey hopes to get the
Democratic nomination at Kansas. City
it is not improbable that he will be dis
appointed. A nomination from the
crowd that made a pretense of support
ing Palmer and Buckner he can prob
aoly have without dimculty.. On that
ticket he might draw to his support
some Republicans who are opposed to
the territorial policy of the administra-
ton. 1t is hardly possible that he
could win from Mr.. Bryan a consider
able number of the supporters which
that gentleman at present has.

CAPT. JOE WATERS VOTE.
He Did Not Cast It For He Had Failed
to Register.

One of the judges in the Fourth pre-
cinct of the Fourth ward at the election
Tuesday furnishes the following anec-
dote which should be an object lesson
for those who neglect to register:
Captain J. G. Waters entered the
polling precinct in a great hurry and
requested the judges to give him a tick
ct quick as he wanted to jump on that
bond proposition with both feet. Capt.
Waters was not registered. He charged
about in such a manner that the clerks
and judges became alarmed and were
about TO call in the special police when
he went out saying he would see Gen.
Roberts of the British army and report
the error to him and Roberts would see
that the bonds were defeated"

DUDLEY'S DUTIES.
Complaint Made to Gov. Stanley That
He Neglects Them For Politics.

Complaint Made to Gov. Stanley That
He Neglects Them For Politics.
A complaint has been lodged with
Governor Stanley by G. H. Stockham,
foreman Of the lumber department of
the Santa Fe, against John Dudley who
wears the high sounding title Of Gus
todian of the state house" and draws
800 a month from the state treasury.
He is really supposed to be supervisor
of janitors.
The complaint is that Dudley, who is
Dave Mulvane's chief lieutenant, spends
his time in ward politics instead Of at
tending to his duties
Mr.. Stockham visited Governor Stan
ley and laid his grievance before him
His chief complaint is that Dudley is
working hard to defeat Santa F'e shop
man who is a candidate for the legisla-
ture. THE Santa Fe shop men helped
out Governor Stanley. They came to
his support when he needed them and
what we object to is the state now mix
ing in local politics through Mr. Dudley
and making every effort possible to de-
feat the only Santa Fe shop man who
is candidate for Office. All we ask is
that the administration keeps it's hands
off We can attend to our own bust
ness"
This was the substance of the protest
made by Mr.. StOCkham to Governor
/ Stanley in person. He says that he rep
I IESGillS Il Qel6BdLlOn winch ODJEClS 10
/ the interference of Mr.. Dudley while he
/ is drawing a big salary from the state
/ and doing little work.
! Other complaints have been made to
/ Governor Stanley that Mr.. Dudley is
! spending too much time in local politics
/ and not enough in attending to the du-
/ ties for which he is paid by the state.
| Governor Stanley says that he has ta-
/ ken the charges under consideration but
/ he does not indicate what he will do.
! They viii probably be placed before the
executive council as Mr.. Dudley was
/ employed by that body and Governor
Stanley has only one vote in its deliber-
| ations.
John Dudley, who has livery stable
| on West Eighth avenue was appointed
| custodian of the state house" at the
| behest of Dave Mulvane and he feels
| bound to do all he can to help his chief
| by working for the Burton candidates
| But Mr. Dudley does not confine him
self to the Legislature. He is taking an
| active interest in the entire list of can
! didates and naturally this consumes
nearly his entire time. 1t is hardly fair
therefore to expect him to take much
interest in his duties at the state house
A ward politician is kept very busy
just prior to primaries and besides Mr.
Dudley aspires to be reelected as sec

THE W. W. MILLS STORE.
The Branching Out of a Well Known
EstabIishm emit.

A special event among shoppers this
week has been the opening of the new
millinery department in the W. W.
Mills store, in connection with the hand
some improvement in their store front.
BY increasing the depth of the front
and the taking out IF a stairway two
of the finest show windows in the
west have been secured.
The addition of the millinery depart
ment has been a distinct gain to the
shopping facilities of Topeka. This de-
partment is located in the front half
of the upper floor and is reached by
the elevator. The room is one of the
handsomest of it's kind anywhere. On
either side are large, beautiful glass
cases containing displays of seasonable
hats and bonnets, the effect of which is
heightened by a very large number of
concealed electric lights, whose rays
are reflected directly on the millinery.
This department of the store is in
charge of Mrs. Wilson. The opening,
which was advertised in last Saturday s
State Journal, was apparently attend
ed by all the prominent ladies in the
city.
The firm must be proud OF its new
addition to the city's business oppor-
tunities, adding another reason why
Kansas people should trade in their own
states rather than in Missouri.

FIT. RILEY SOLDIER HURT

John M. Lachstringe, a musician in
the band of the Sixth cavalry It FIT.
Riley had his foot crushed between the
bumpers of a Union Pacific freight train
about noon today. He was beating his
way on the train and when the train
started to stop here he put his foot on
the end of one of the bumpers to climb
off The train came to sudden stop and
his foot was crushed between the dead
wood" and the end of the bumper. De
Moss & Penwell's ambulance was called
and the injured man taken to the police
station. The city has no place to care
for injured persons and no money with
which to pay for hospital care. Mayor
Drew was at the station and went at
once before the county commissioners
and demanded that they care for the
man. The commissioners agreed to care
for the injured man and he was taken
to Christ hospital.

ticles exported from any state.-Con-

the people of a county that for cen
turtles had been oppressed, but, on the
contrary, to bring you protection. not

upon you the immunities and blessings
of the liberal Institutions of our gov
ernment.-General Miles proclamation

the cause of liberty, justice and human
ity," Ponce, July %, 1898.
The highest considerations Of Justice
and good faith demand that We shall
not disappoint the confident expecta-
ton Of sharing in our prosperity, with
which the people Of Porto Rico 50
gladly transferred their allegiance to
the United States We should treat
the interests of this people as our own.
I wish most strongly to urge that the
customs duties between Porto Rico and
the United States be removed.-Secre-
tary Root in his annual report NoVem-
Der %, 1899
The markets of the United States

Our plain duty is to abolish all Gus

and Porto Rico and give her products
access to our markets.-fsSesiden Nc
