The war department has just an
thorized the publication of the report
of Gen. "Joe" Wheeler, the hero OF
three wars, the Mexican, the civil and
the SPANISH american; and this report
contains statements concerning the is
land of Guam which are based upon
the personal knowledge of Gen. Wheel
err. after he had made an official tom
of inspection of the island, under or
ders issued by President Mckinley
from the white house.
Gen. Wheeler is a wonderful man
and he is lovely character With

lance of seven miles, to the hamlet OF
Page. which is situated on small shall
low harbor on the east side of the
island"
Just think of tint! Gen. Wheeler is
in his sixty-third year. He never
weighed more than 100 pounds in his
life. and is the smallest man, physically
that was ever received by the West
Point military academy. And yet, after
serving in three wars. and at an age
when most men seek ease and comfort
or even luxury. he fought at Santiago
went cheerfully to the Philippines and
fought there. and then made an Off
cial tour of this new island possession
and rode horseback seven miles or
the very day of his arrival at Guam
after an ocean trip of two weeks.
"Fighting Joe Wheeler" was in the
confederate army. and he made the
Yankees hump themselves many {
time during that awful internecine
struggle. But when the reunited ma
ton was confronted with another wal
he was among the very first to tender
his services. In congress President Me
Kinley became we'll acquainted With
Gen. Wheeler, and, like everybody who
has known him. love him; and he glad.
ly accepted his services, gave him
commission, and sent him forth where
he wanted to be, on the firing line. The
career of this magnificent soldier should
DO an inspiration to every patriotic
young man in this republic.
He says: "The next morning
started out again at daylight, taking

Campaign For Governor Has

The decision Of John w. BreidenthaI
not to enter the contest for the Populist
nomination for governor brought Major
A. M. Harvey, of Topeka, into promi-
nence in the race. 1t is not known what
effect Mr.. Breidenthal's subsequent in
decision will have on the campaign OF
his Topeka rival.
Major Harvey is developing strength
which is likely to make him a very i'm
portant factor in the state convention.
Some of his friends are enthusiastic
over the prospects and think the Shaw
nee man has an excellent chance for
the nomination.
Twelve years ago Major Harvey was

His rulings were always heard above
the din of the senate. 1t is not flat
terry to say that he was one of the

He was always fair. The Republicans
were surprised at this and none will
say that each member of the senate did
not always receive equal and. exact

success and popularity were continued
Mr.. Harvey's candidacy for governor
is not of his own making. He has an
ambition but the work of getting him
into the race was done by his friends.
He accepted the service in kindness and
is now a candidate. 1t is a significant
fact that he is constantly gaining
strength while staying at home attend
ing to his law business. The remaining
candidates are going up and down the
state working for the nomination. Har-
vey stays at home but every mail brings
him assurances of support from all
quarters of the state. He has done little
active work, but will take hand in the
affairs when the state committee meets
in this city February 6.

The freight car containing the dyna-

large hole torn under the roadway. Six
locomotives and 20 freight cars were
wrecked. Conductor Law and Edward
Meehap, a brakeman and Robert Car
roll, were in the eabnose of the freight
engine and had tnasS1<svl escapes.
It will take two days for the wrecking
crews to clear away the debris. The
accident was due to a long train Of
freight cars running away and crashing
into a locomotive near the round house.
The shock exploded thirty boxes OF
dynamite in one of the cars.

Democrat, but when the Alliance with
its grip and password overturned the
Republican majOritieS in Kansas -Har-
vey went with the crowd and has since
remained therein.
In the years past Major Harvey was
not active in politics. He first left the
plow, not standing in the field, but
in a fence corner, and went to En-
poria to attend the State Normal school.
He proposed to become a school teacher.
He attended the normal but a short
time and returned to Shawnee county.
He then taught school for a few years,
saved some money and came to To
peka, engaging in the study OF law. He
read law in the old firm of Johnson,
Martin and Keeler being admitted to
the bar. eight years ago.
When Lewelling'S administration was
in charge of the affairs of the state
Major Harvey took part in the cam
paign. He was frequently consulted
about Shawnee county affairs, and it
was but a short time until ne attained
prominence in the councils of the party
When Harvey started in public life
he made and kept the friendship of the
men he associated with. This was due
largely to the fact that he never i'm
posed his opinions on people. Asked
for an opinion he expressed 1t without
fear or favor and was then consistent
Then again, he is one who will not mis-
represent the truth to newspaper men.
To the newspaper men is due much or
HarNSyS progress. his IepuldLlOn lOI
fair dealing and decency has been laud-
ed by the papers in his own party and
also by those which do not think as he
does. Harvey has never been a fire
eater" He opposes the Republican
principles because he honestly believes
along other lines yet he does not abuse
people who differ from him.
This conservatism coupled with decent
treatment for members of other parties
has made Harvey a popular man.
He was nominated for lieutenant gov
practically no opposition. This was the
first public recognition he had received.
Harvey is now 80 years old, about the
same age as w. J. Bryan when he be-
came famous in congress. He was then
not 80 when elected lieutenant governor
and some of his opponents declared that
he was too young and unframed to fill
such an important position
The surprise which was furnished the
and took charge Of the senate is still
talked about. When the Shawnee man
realized that he had been selected as
the presiding officer of the senate he
took a book on parliamentary law and
rules of order and went to work. He
learned every rule thoroughly. Then
he began practicing what he had
learned.
With two friends Harvey would drive
out into the woods on sunny days and
the senate would be called to order. He
would take big limb and rap for or
der on the end of a log. Then his two
friends would begin to raise questions
of parliamentary law. The battle would
go on. The effort to trap the embryo
lieutenant governor was carried on un-
ceasingly and he soon became proficient
