C. A. HIGGINS DEAD.
Asst. General Passenger Agent
of Santa Fe Succumbs to
Typhoid Fever.

Mr. c. A. Higgins, assistant general
passenger agent of the Santa Fe, died
as the result of an attack of typhoid
fever at his home in Chicago at 8 o'clock
this morning.
Word of Mr.. Higgins death was re-
ceived at the Santa Fee general offices
in this city this morning. 1t was a
complete surprise as scarcely any one
among the officials here knew he was
sick. He had been ill but a short time
Mr.. Higgins held the position of as
Sistant general passenger agent of the
Santa Fe with headquarters in Chicago
since 1894, having been appointed to the
position by Mr.. George T. Nicholson
when he was general passenger agent
of the road.

line of advertising, and practically all

Mr. Higgins was an entertaining writer,
and many of his descriptive sketches
are literary gems
Mr.. Higgins was a man of about 45
years of age. He had been in the en-
ploy of the Santa Fe for a number of
years, occupying a position in the east
ern office at Boston for some time. For
several years before his appointment in
the passenger department he acted as
secretary of the Santa Fee board of di-

of Indiana men wer in favor of this,
and visited diffrnt delegations with the

The Stevency candidacy was talked
about more or less, but a distinct oppo-
sition developed in some quarters, nota-

lima who declared that the convention
should nominate a man who stood for
new issues. The boom for Stevenson
had the effect of somewhat checking the
progress of the ToWne adherents and

Bryan will spend the entire day at home.
He summoned the telegraphers who are
to furnish him details of the convention
from the wires to run into his house to

extended no special invitations to friends

to make the address the same day Mr..
Bryan has not even said he will go, but
the belief is that he will and return al

convention is over.
With his nomination a foregone conclu-

LEADERS AS pIcrAroRs.

The position which William J. Bryan
occupies toward the national Democ-
racy at this time must call to the mind
of old time Democrats of Kansas the
time when Judge John Martin of this
city stood in similar relation to the
party in the sunfiower state.
In 1882 Judge Martin was the idol of
his party in the state as Mr.. Bryan is
today of the party in the nation When
the state Democratic convention met in
Emporia that year no other man than
Judge Martin was thought of for the
nomination for governor. Throughout
the earlier deliberations of the conven-
ton he was referred to as the nomi-
nee.
Judge Martin at that time held GER
tain well known views ON the subject of
prohibition-always a bone of conten-
ton in those days-and also had his
own notion of what should be said
about it in the platform. The platform
committee wrestled all night with the
subject, members who agreed with
Judge Martin being in a minority of
one. The minority report triumphed
before the convention and upon motion
of Tom Moonlight that body proceeded
to adopt it by sections.
Moonlight. Fenlon and Mont Coch-
rane were not in accord with Judge
Martins views and they fought over the
ground inch by inch with Joe Riggs of
Lawrence, who chamDioned the other
side. All dav the debate lasted. and
when the last section was adopted the
convention at once proceeded to make
nominations.
Judge Martin was nominated unani-
mously by acclamation and a commit
to- IT.
a dressing room in the opera house
where he was waiting. Those who were
present can never forget the scene
when. instead of accepting the nomina-
ton in rousing speech, he declined in
a few short sentences 1t was as if a
wet blanket had fallen on the entire
body.
For a full moment nobody said a
word. Then John r. Goodin moved an
adjournment for an hour.
Moonlight and his crowd during the
debate on the platform had succeeded
in adroitly eliminating that section
which contained the expression of
Judge Martins most cherished views.
When the convention reassembled
somebody proposed the name of Click.
nobody objected and he was nominated
Any other name would have been treat
ed the same way. The delegates were
disappointed and sick at heart.
What happened afterwards is well
known to the people of Kansas.
