CLARKSON REJECTED.
Plat Informs Him He Can Not Be
Secretary of the Senate.

Washington. Jan. 15-senator Plat, of
New York, today informed J. s. Clark
son eandiaate for secretary Of the sen
impossible. The objections raised to
Clarkson by leading Republican senators
were insuperable. Clarkson received the
news with much surprise, as he assumed
that the pledges obtained for him before
the meeting of Congress would insure his
selection.
In deciding. against Clarkson the SEN
ate caucus did not go further the other
day than to recommend that Senator
Platt should offer another candidate from
his state The announcement, therefore,
that Chairman B. V. odell was elected
by the caucus is untrue Senator Platt
wired Chairman Odel to see if he would
declined. The senate has no knowledge
of Odell except through Senator Platt's
recommendation. and as New York has
been granted the secretaryship it will be
Senator Platt's business to find candi-
date acceptable to the. senate. Mr.. OdeIl
would no doubt have been elected unani-
mously had he signified his willingness to
serve, but the senate is not electing Off
GERS before knowing their wishes. SEN
ator Plat could not tell this morning
what name he would recommend to the
caucus, which is to meet on the 18th inst.
but he does not expect any trouble in
picking out the right man.

SUES HIS SISTER-GN-LAW.
The Original Mckinley Man Asks
100000 Damages.

Chicago. Ill, Jan. 15.--M1agnus Antonius
Hess the original Mckinley man. has
filed suit for S1O0 900 damages against his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Annie Wolf, for break
ing up his home.
Mr.. Hess declares that Mrs. Wolf in
duced his wife to bring divorce proceed
ings against him in 1887, and that the
worry caused by the case caused him to
lose large sums of money in business
transactions.
IN speaking of the case Mr.. Hess said
This woman, Annie Wolf. has been
the cause Of all my misfortunes. Ny
wife and / had been living together for
thirteen years when Annie Wolf came
around and wanted me to sign my prop
erty over to my wife. This I refused to
do. saving. that as long as I lived my
property should be in my name. Then
she told my wife she was abused. She
said her husband had signed his property
over to her. She told my wife she ought
to bring divorce proceedings. This was the
thirteenth year, and that seems to be my
unlucky number I think she knew this
and took advantage of me.
1T was also the year worked 50 hard
for Mckinley and got nothing but let

Topeka Man Slated For superinten-
dent of Western Division
of Santa Fe.

It is announced here this afternoon that
Mr.. H. E. Hurley, superintendent of the
New Mexico and Rio Grande divisions of

superintendent of the western division to
succeed Mr.. Charles Dyer, and that c. T.
Mcclellan, now superintendent of the east

of the Panhandle division will take Mr.
Dolan's place.

CURTIS BAILEY FIGHT.
How the Atchison Globe Views the
Congressional Contest

TFrom the AtcF1ison Globe.1
The Curtis men have a new argument
against Cy Leland. He runs a little old
country store at Troy. and they say he
buys all his goods in Missouri; that he
buys nothing whatever in Kansas.
The Curtis Bailey excitement in Atchi-
SON is becoming more ridiculous every
day. Here are two outsiders who ex-
pect Atehis3n people to quarrel over tnem
Clubs WhY not a ' club that i amounts to
something: Don't Worry club?
A great many people believe the bitter
fight in this congressional district is
foolish and unnecessary Already charges
OF 6laf dpda b bepg 5 ad 9oe Pf n the the
district will be accused of something by
somebody, and be, thoroughly mad,
this to please a Topeka man, and a man
from Baileyville.
The Globes position on the Curtis
Bailey fight is that 1t Is ridiculous for
Atchison people to get each other by
Atehison man ought to spring up, and
beat them both out of the nomination. If
nothing a could prevent his nomination Tor
congress from this district
A man approached a Second ward voter
today, and said; Can We afford to let
Curtis run. this town? Why don't the
the Bailey meeting tonight. and show
their disapproval?7 In few moments
the voter met a Curtis man, who said it
was a shame that the Bailey bosses
in the Second ward should turn out to
the Curtis meeting tonight, and help
down the ring" Atchison people are
beginning to glare at each other over
Curtis and Bailey. and it is very foolish.
1t does not make the slightest difference
to Atchison people whether Curtis or
Bailey is the next congressman. Is it
not foolish to hurrah around, and have
lot of arguments and fights about two
men in whom Asehison has not the slight
est interest? The proper thing would be
to spring an Atchison candidate for con-
gress, if a fight is inevitable. An Atchi-
son man could make it, owing to the
go to Topeka or Baileyville for a con
gresham? We can point out five hun
bred Atehison men who are as smart as
either Curtis or Bailey. and as deserv-
ing of a term in congress.
