Mr.. Breidenthal Again Changes
His Mind and Will Be a
Candidate for Governor.

John w. Breidenthal has announced
that he will accept the nomination for
governor. He explains that he will not
give up the work of his Office to get out
and make a campaign, but if the con-
vention chooses to nominate him, he
will accept the honor.
This announcement is the result of a
conference Saturday night. H. R Honey,
editor of the Western Advocate at

FEARS HER PEOPLE.
France Finds Herself in an EN-
barrassing Situation.

Paris, Feb. 5.-As a result of in
is learned that the stories of the Echo
de Paris that the British ambassador to
France, Sir Edmund ]. Monson and
British ambassador to Italy Sir Philip
Currie, conferred here recently on Ital-
ian affairs or that Sir Edmund has gone
to Rome to support Sir Philip in repre-
sentationS to Italy regarding the land
ing of Italian troops in Africa, are quite
Unfounded. What is true is that Sir
Edmund Monson has gone to the Ital-
ian Rivera, not because he is unwell or
requires a rest but because he finds his
position very unpleasant at the present
moment, owing to the strong feeling
against Great Britain in the press and
society which per force is reflected TO
some extent in the attitude of the
French government. A diplomatic Off
cial said:
The French government is undoubt-
edly friendly to Great Britain but it is
sentiments just now because q demon
stration of friendliness to Great Brit
ain would be an act of suicide. The be-
stowal of the cross of the legion of
honor on the artist Leandre, author of
the outrageous caricatureS of Queen
Victoria, furnished an example of the
governments fear of offending popular
feeling. Leandre had been promised
the decoration before he caricatured

Appearance In Topeka.

Otis Skinner is in Topeka today for
the first time, and tonight will be seen

of Sir Christopher Deering'' in Henry

Last year Mr.. Skinner toured the
country in Rosemary" Previous to

tent in Shakespearian roles He has
made a greater success in comedy dur
ing the present season than ever before
in his career, but Notwithstanding this
fact he will probably be again seen in
romantic drama next year. Mr.. Skin
ner is now engaged in writing a ro-
mantle play in which he hopes to star
next season. It will not be his first
attempt as a dramatist, as some years
ago he was seen in a romantic drama
of his own construction.
Mr.. Skinner is the actor with whom
Will Wadsworth, of this city, was asso-

Scheme Which Is Worthy OF q
Clever Politician.

Judge A W. Dennison of Ell Dorado
has announced his candidacy for the
Populist nomination for governor.Judge
Dennison is believer in fusion and IA
vors coalition of all the elements op-
posed to Republicanisrn.
Judge Dennison's candidacy is re-
garded as part of a plan to secure the
nomination for associate justice of the
supreme court. The term of Judge w.
A. Johnston expires this year bat he
will be renominated by the Republicans
and the Populist nominee will be COM
PEELED to make the race against him.
1t is generally known among the Pop
ulist politicians that Judge Dennison
aspires to a place on the supreme bench
and is, it is claimed, making a sortic in
the direction of governor in order to get
the support of all the candidates for
that place, for the supreme bench. How
ever, upon the statement of the judge
himself, he is a candidate for governor.

DenniSon. He has since been reelected
by the people of the district and is re-
puted to have been very successful on
the bench. This testimony is furnished
by the lawyers who have practiced be-

In 1890 Judge Dennison was a Repub-
lican In 1892 he was running for state
senator on the Populist ticket. He was
elected and served one term of four
years. During his term he was named
judge and has since kept out of politics
except to seek an election as judge af-
ter the term expired for which he was
appointed.
limitation next year the judge will soon
lose his job. He could be ready to be
inaugurated as governor and complete
his term as judge too.
In the senate of 1895 Mr.. Dennison in
troduced 13 bills of the COS which were
considered during that session Four of
them became laws. Senator DeHnison
tried 4 times to effect a change in the
boundaries of Ell Dorado and succeeded
the last time, the bill which he intro
duced passing both houses and receiv-
ing the approval of the governor.
Another law which was prepared and
introduced by Dennison is now on the
statute books exempting from taxa
ton real and personal property of the
G. A r. lodges and department. The
two other bills which were fathered by
Dennison and became laws were of a
local nature. One penSioned Erwin

Mr. Dennison was a stickler for pro-
priety in the senate and was hater Of
newspapers. When the Kansas City
Star charged the senate with having
killed an anti gambling bill because of
Doodle influence Dennison prepared
resolution which was adopted. expelling
the representative of the Star, F. l.
Vandegrift, from the senate. Vande-
grift later, through the kindness of
John w. Leedy, was permitted to make

Pennsylvania for Butler county, Kansas,
where he has since lived. H practiced
law from 1873 to 1886, then gave up his
practice and engaged in stock breeding
until 1894. Then he sold his stock and
re-engaged in the practice OF law.
Experience in breeding stock made a
horSeman out of Dennison. He has al
ways had sporting blood in his veins
and the stock business gave it an op-
portunity to expand and seek reeogni-
tion. He took to horses. When he went
into the business he could say horse. ="
To save his life today he couldn't say
that word. He now says "hoss." He
has ornamented the judges stand all
over Kansas as a starter. Men who
have faced him say he is hard to de-
ceive. The horses must be in tune and
line when he sends them away and
tricky driving by jockeys or trainers is
a sure promoter of DenniSonS wrath.
And he does not change his mind when
man is violating the rules. If Denni-
son says fine it is followed by set
tIement or suspension.
Dennison is a man of low stature but
he is very heavy set. He will weigh 200
pounds and has :he square jaw OF a
determined man. He is not a phenom-
en0n in quick thinking. He handles a
proposition in his mind deliberately and
does not depart from his convictions.
Dennison is married but has no chill
dren. He is now in his fiftieth year. His
first office was senator. His second Judge
which he now holds. He aspires to
give that up for governor first, but the
Populist politicians think he would
sacrifice that ambition for a place on
the supreme bench.
One of the measures which Senator
Dennison presented to the senate was
one authorizing a Butler county town
ship to sell and invest the proceeds of
bonds issued by the municipality to aid
the Frisco railroad. Another was to
prohibit usury another pertained to the
taxation of judgments.

sources that absolutely no confirmation
has been received by the war Office Of
the report that Gen. Butler has re-
crossed the TugeIa river and is march
ing on Iadysnith. On the contrary,
according to the information of the war
office at the present moment, there is
every indication that things are quiet
at the front and that no immediate
movement is anticipated. Regarding
dispatches from Ladysmith saying that
Butler guns have been heard there it is
surrnised that some practice may have
been going on with the new batteries
