The Curtis Forces Dominated.

At the First district republican con-
gressional convention In Atchison the
forces Of Congressman Charles Curtis
dominated. Even Leayenworth coun.
ty, the home Of Senator Baker, was
not permitted to choose its own con-
gressional committeeman and man
unfriendly to the senator was chosen.
The resolutions adopted, which had
been prepared by the Curtis leaders,
made no reference to United States
Senator Baker or Congressman-at-
Large w. ]. Bailey. Later the Curtis
forces, seeing how complete was their
domination OF the convention, re-
Tented enough to adopt supplement-
ary resolutions indorsing the records
of Baker and Bailey. Resolutions also
ipdorse the state and national admin
~ tions and demand the removal
of Pension Commissioner Evans.
John Seaton, Of Atchison, and ex-
Judge r. NJ. Emery, of Seneca, were
made delegates to the national con-
vention.

EIisworth Must Pay the bonds.

Judge Hook, of the federal court,
decided that whenever two towns be-
come involved in a county seat war
and issued bonds to assist in such
fights that the town winning the VIC
tory is responsible for payment Of
these bonds. It was in the case OF
Charles B. Masslich against Ellsworth,
Kan, for bonds issued in 1886, which
the town Of Ellsworth refused to pay.
The bonds were issued by Kanopolis
leaders to raise money to fight Ellis
worth and win the county seat and
eventually the state capital. They
amounted to 5000. The Ellsworth
people finally won out, but refused
to pay either the interest or princi-
pal of these bonds. After Kanopolis
lost the fight the town Of course
could not pay the debt, and Ellis
worth, having assumed most Of the
towns population, WINS called upon
to make the settlement.

adjoining states has been commenced
by Patrick Hickey before the United

Hickey was until recently employed

Since its induction into office the
present Council has displayed con-
spicuous efficiency. The finance
committee, composed of Messrs.

very important duties. 1t has de-
voted much time to familiarize it.

the town government and we have
every reason to believe that it will
soon have acquired thorough
knowledge of this most vital branch
of the municipality.
1t is easily seen that with an an
nual revenue of $r8, 900, which will
no doubt increase with the growth
of the community, the authorities
will be able to defray the running
expenses of the town and make ne
cessary improvements and appro-
priations and at the same time pay
the bonds as they become due.

The Robber Left An Apology.
ST. Louis Lepublic.
A robber whose conscience either
troubled him greatly or who had SO
exceptional a sense of propriety that
it followed him into crime entered
the home of J. D. Hertling, St.
Louis county, Friday night. He
helped himself to a good square
meal from the contents of the pantry.
Then he made his way to the sleep
ing apartment of Hertling aud re-
moved the latter's trousers from
a chair and returned with them to
the kitchen. From a pocket he
took s. in change. This done he
seated himself beside the kitchen
table and wrote a note of apology
for having taken the money and
provisions. The note was as follows:

THE FINANCES OF THE
TOWN..
TOWN.

At the last meeting of the Council
the treasurer, Mr.. F. v. Mouton,
submitted an admirable report,
showing the receipts and disburse-
ment of the town during twelve
months ending April 80, 1900. Mr..
Mouton has evidently devoted much
time to this work 1t is gotten up
in a manner that does him much
credit.
BY reference to Mr.. Mouton's
report we are permitted to see at a
glance the financial condition of
the town.
During the year the revenues of
the town amounted to $I8,oo7. a..
In this is included the sum of
s., o85. 90 derived from the special
tax.
In view Of these handsome reve-
nues one would naturally expect to
be told that the town is in posses
sion of considerable cash, but the
absence OF any good-sized balance
in the municipal treasury is ex-
planned by the unusually heavy de-
mands upon it. The treasurer's re.
port shows that tn. smallpox cpl
penn: cost the town Sc, o8o. Is. 1t
became necessary to bore a new
artesian we'll at the powerhouse,
for which $1,o1o.6o were expended.
Add to these two items the 500 aP-
propriated fox the Industrial Insri-
tute and it will be shown that these
three unlooked-for expenditures
make up S3,79o.76. Had it not
been necessary to spend this money
to meet unavoidable exigencies, the
town treasury would to-day be IN
flourishing condition.
The Gazette would be pleased to
print the report in its entirety, but
it is unable to so and will give the
following recapitulation of the diff
ferent items in bulk:

kEzL0GCS MEM0ZRS.

A New York paper tells US that
William Pitt Kellogg, excarpet bag
governor OF Louisiana, IS at work
on a volume Of memoirs of the
reconstruction period. We are not
told if Kellogg will apologize for
his crimes or whether he will sing
the praises Of his benign rule. At
any rate no one will question his
ability to treat this theme with a
master hand. OF ali the scoun-
drels who pillaged the South during
radical misrule Kellogg is con-
cededly the worst. If he will only
tell the truth his memoirs will con-
tain some decidedly interesting
matter, but as he has never been
known to tell the truth it is not
probable that be will do so at this
late day and at the expense of dis
closing some of his own infamy.
This district was represented in
Congress by Kellogg for a number
of years and we hope he will in
misdeeds as congressman.
The editor of the New Orleans
States, whose trenchant pen takes
especial delight in blistering the old
devil, has the following to say on
| this subject:
The memories of criminals and prosti-
| tutes are not without measure of interest,
though their statements of facts are never to

high carnival in the Proaigate class of So

kellogg write history of Reconstruction?
OF ali the carpetbag scoundrels that harried
William was the meanest. He was without
scruple or honor veracity and even his
negro henchmen when they received a prom
Use from him went away feeling that they
h ad no security for what they had asked.
We trust Kellogg will devote special
chapter to the history of the Colfax riot,
wherein sixty or seventy negroes were killed,

he had the courage and the desire to comply
with a request made to him at midnight at
the St. Charles Hotel. But butchery of
negroes at that time would fire the North
ern heart and aid the Republican party in
Louisiana.
We sincerely trust Kellogg will carry out
his purpose of writing his history. We have
at hand some interesting data that will en-
able US to review his Memoirs with infinite
pleasure.
