BOYD OBJECTS.
POpulist Candidate viii Not
Submit to Fusion Deal.
I'll. N. Boyd Refuses to Give Way
to Democrats.
LEFT TO CONVENTION.
VIII Not Be Sidetracked by the
Leaders.
Political Gossip About the AS
pirants In Kansas.

H. N. Boyd of Bel1eville, candidate
for secretary Of state, is one Populist
office seeker who refuses to abide by
the agreement made by the joint com
mittees of the two parties in Topeka by
which the offices are distributed among
the Democrats and Populists.
Mr.. Boyd says the committees have
no right to make such a distribution of
offices.
For one" he says, 81 will not abide
by the result. I am a candidate for
secretary of state and will not retire
from the race until I am defeated. If
the convention sees fit to select another
man I will accept the result gracefully
but viii not get out of the way to ac-
commodate the bosses who met in To-
peka to parcel out the Offices"
The joint committee conference gave
the office of secretary of state to the
Democrats. Boyd has been a candi-
date for several years. He got out of
the race in 1896 at Abilene, in order to
preserve harmony and assisted in cap
turing the nomination for w E. Bush
of the Sixth district.
Boyd was a candidate then for ad-
jutant general but an ante-election
promise made that impossible on the
part Of the governor, but Boyd was
made assistant in that department. For
nearly two years now he has been max
ing a campaign for the nomination for
this office and his refusal to get out OF
the race at this time is endorsed by
many POpulists-
The Republic county delegation will
be instructed for Boyd and he will go to
the state convention and make a fight
for the nomination. Such circumstances
as these are the very breakers which
the fusion dealers fear. They admit
that the Popuist convention is likely
to do anything except accept the terms

Populist deal recently completed in To-
pelza-

AT THE THEATERS.

There was much to remind one Of
popular prices and ladies' free tickets
in the performances of Augustus
Thomas THE Burglar" at the Craw-
ford theater Saturday. Amateurish act
ing and ridiculous dress did much to
spoil the natural atmosphere which IS
provided for in all of the Thomas plays
As an instance of the latter, THE Burg
lar in the days of his responsibility,
represented by the first act made his
appearance wearing huge riding leg
gings, which tapped noisIy about his
thighs at each stride. and with a huge
red flower in his buttonhole- And the
heroine of the piece returned from
long walk at both performances attired
in a. sleeveless ball gown

1.-The Burglar" was much better at the
finish than at the start, and at the close
of the last act dropped dead in quite
a realistic manner. His work during
the scene with Edith" was also fairly
satisfactory Miss Marie Barborka made
herself painful as Alice" by assuming
a delicate childish voice. If Miss Bar
borka was not so wholly out of accord
physically with the voice she assumes
it might be different. Little Marie
Snowden proved herself a smart child
in the role of tsEditha."
THE Burlgar'' is an improbable play,
and was built altogether for emotional
effect.

TO STOP RATE CUTTING.
Great Continental Routes Make a
Pacific Coast Agreement.

New York, March 1.-THE Herald
says:
1t is rumored that the great western
railroads have made an agreement to
do no more cutting of rates between
Chicago and the western coast. The
agreement, it is reported, on excellent
authority, practically amounts to an
alliance of these railroads for mutual
protection against the interstate COM
merce law.
According to the Herald'S informant,
at a meeting of the representatives OF
all or most of the continental lines
which took place here on March s, an
agreement was made that after March
Is there would be absolutely no cutting
of rates west of Chicago and to the
Pacific coast.
Among the roads said to have been
represented at the conference were the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad,
the Southern Pacific, the Central Pa
cific, the Northern Pacific, the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe and the Chicago
& Northwestern railroads. In fact. it
is said that every important line be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast
with the exception of the Canadian
roads entered into the compact.
Neither Cook nor Raymond nor any
tourist companies which hitherto have
had special rates will, it is asserted, re-
ceive any advantage under the ar
ranEeTnent

NEW SANTA FE TIME CARD.
Division Superintendent Here to
Discuss Changes.

The Santa F'e division superintend-
ents are in Topeka today for the pur-
pose of arranging a new time card. The
new card will go into effect April l.
Heterogeneous of freight schedules
will form the principal changes made by
the new card. No changes will be made
in the time of the main line passenger
trains. The time of branch line passen-
ger trains will in some instances be at
fected.
Under the new card the Blackwell
train will connect with west bound train
No. Z, and the mail out of Kansas City
at night will be delivered in the Okla
homa city before noon. Since the Santa
Fe assumed control of the Hutchinson
& Southern line there has been dissatis-
faction among the people of Blackwell
over the mail delivery.
The regular summer time card on the
Santa Fe will not be arranged until the
Santa F'e line into Frisco is completed
and ready for business.

worse. Indeed you could have carried in your

Many in single pattern lengths, new handker-

prettier than before, and so reasonable in
price, too. Of course. we have them as high as
$3.50 a yard, but you'll be surprised to see what
15c will buy.
Those silk fixtures have been extended so that
we now have 81 running feet devoted exclusively
to silks and velvets. In the new Foulard alone we
can show probably 5000 yards.
