after she left home with the man who,
she says, proved both unfaithful and
unworthy, another man appeared on

GR1FFo TO MEET CANS.
Belief is That Australian is Conceding
Too Much Weight.

Chicago. July Sam Tuckhorn, of
whom Young Griffo seems to stand in
deadly fear and who has more and
better control over the Australian than
than anyone else. thinks he has got the
fighter into excellent shape for his
meeting Tuesday night with Joe Cans.
Griffo has been training at Harry
Forbes place for the fight. The agree
ment is to make 135 pounds at O'Clock
in the afternoon. Although Griffo has
had some trouble making this, he will
be able, it is said to do it handily by
Tuesday. The party is now on the way
to New Yor kfor the fight. The general
opinion locally is that Tucl1horn has
made bad match and that Griffo will
not be able to stay more than fifteen
rounds with the clever, hard-hitting col
ored man.

GOOD AS CALIFORNIA.
Tests Crop Raised There and
Becomes Enthusiastic.

Lawrence, July e.-Mr. Richard Hood
less of Chicago has been at Bonner
Springs for the past week in the inter
est of the beet raising industry.
1t will be remembered that he spent
some time in the valley about a year
ago with the object of inducing the po-
tato growers and upland farmers to
plant patches OF sugar beets as a test
of the soil as to productiveness in the
root both in quality and quantity
He met with splendid success. Not

Edwardsville to Lake View but who has
an acre patch a result of that visit.
He made tour of inspection, and is
more than enthusiastic over the result
To begin with, he says that in all other
parts of the United States a yield of II
to IA tons to the acre is counted a good
crop, and 20 tons is cracked up to be
something extraordinary. The greatest
yield yet on record comes from southern
California and is somewhere in the
neighborhood of 40 tons to the acre.
Once, and once only, has California
made this phenomenal yield and it has
been made use of profusely to adver-
tise the Golden state as 1.-The Garden
Spot of the Earth, and the Home of the
Sugar Beet
Mr.. Hoodless says he has been ex-
amining the different fields along the
Kaw valley, and is willing to stake his
reputation as an expert in beet culture
tnat the yield -DeatS any other place IN
the United States; yes, or any place in
the world"
Continuing, the gentleman said: 'I
have been careful in this examination
to the end that my estimate of the pos
sibilities of this country as a beet grow
ing district shall be correct. And am
as positive as mortal can be that the
patches now growing in the valley will
turn out so tons to the acre It is as

The sugar beet has found a new and

''It only remains" continued the ex-
pert, ito ascertain whether or not the
per cent of saccharine matter they con-
tain is up to the standard. But there
can be no doubt on that point. The
saccharine taste is as distinct as I have
ever found it in any roots and if it de-
velops under regulation test in proper
ton to the size of the beet, Kaw valley
is the place of all places for its cul-
ture.
And there is millions in it," says
Mr.. Hoodless, mot only for the farmer
but also for the community where the
factory is to be built
"A big plant will surely be built at
some point in the valley convenient to
the bulk of raw material. I have located
more than one plant of this kind, and
they are the making of the community

RESIGNATION A SURPRISE.
Surgeon Thomas Expected to Remain
as Prison Physician.

Leavenworth, July 9-Much surprise
is expressed by the friends of DR.. Miege
Thomas over the tender of his resigna-
ton as physician of the federal prison.
The last congress increased the salary
of the office from $500 to 81 500 per an
mum, and at the same time its duties.
The office of hospital steward has been
abolished. The change was recon-
mended with the approval of the doctor,
and he has told his frienGs all along
that he was willing to perform the ad-
ditional labor required.
The place is not under civil service
and the appointment will depend large
ly upon the recommendation of Warden
McClaughrey.

HORSE SHOW LOST MONEY.
Promoters, However, Are by No

C. H. Samson, treasurer of the horse

statement that horse show will be given
next year.
The horse shows in Topeka have met
with ill-luck. Last year the grand stand
at the fair grounds burned during the
show and this year rain kept people
away. "If we had nice weather we would
have made a little money" said Mr.. Sam
son in speaking of the show just closed.

paid admissions being 200. The members
will pay an assessment of $500 each to

ELKINS' HARD FIGHT.
Much Interest Attaches to the West
Virginia Republican Convention.

Virginia Republican Convention
Charleston, w. Va, July 9.-The Re
publican state convention meets here
this week to nominate a full state tick
ct, select a new state committee and
transact other business preparatory to
the presidential and state campaigns.
While this is a doubtful or close state
for the presidential electors and state
officers, it is especially so for United
States senator. The members of the
legislature who are elected next NOvem-
Der select the successor of Stephen 3.
Elkins in the senate.
Senator Elkins is a candidate for re-
election and will preside here as tenn
porary chairman of the convention,
day 1t has been conceded since the
Democratic state convention was held
at Parkersburg last month, that the
Democratic nominee for senator is like
ly to be John T. McGraw, of Grafton.
who was the opponent of Senator N. B.
Scott at the last election. McGraW and
Elkins are both great organizers, and
every close county will be hotly contest
ed for state senators and members Of
the house OF delegates, so that the re-
suit on the state ticket and also the
presidential electoral vote of the state
will depend largely on this senatorial
contest. The Democrats have an ad-
vantage in the hold-over senators, 50
that there is a possibility of a mixed
result. 1t is claimed that if the Repub-
licans should elect their state ticket by
a larger plurality than ever before they
might still fail to have a majority on
joint ballot in the legislature. All the
other candidates have been withdrawn
and there is no opposition to A b.
White, of Parkersburg, for the nomina-
tion for governor. He is the close friend
of Senators Elkins and Scott and the
favorite of all the leaders He was for
years the editor of the Parkersburg
Journal, and is now the internal reve-
nue. collector for this district. With the
exception of the contest for state audi
tor, there is not likely to be much con-
tention over the nominations for other
places on the state ticket. The preliTni-
nary work will be done on Tuesday and
the convention convenes on Wednesday.

THOUGHT BETTER OF 1T.
Salina Man Who offered to Go to
Lansing Changed His Mind


Salina, July 81 c. Williams, who
is a fugitive from justice under a SEN
tence Of three years in the penitentiary
for perjury by the district court of this
county, and who has been supposed to
be in Canada for the past four months,
came to Kansas City to attend the
Democratic national convention. He
telephoned his lawyer here to send
Sheriff Swedenburg there and he would
go voluntarily to the penitentiary in or
der to save his wife's property from
confiscation on his bond. Williams
friends had made arrangements with
Warden Tonlinson, by long distance
telephone. that he should not be put
to work in the coal mines, but after
Swedenburg reached Kansas City, Will
nams changed his mind, and declined to
go and as the sheriff had no requisition
he could not compel Williams to go.
Williams sent a gang of desperate
safe blowers to the penitentiary when
he was deputy sheriff of Saline county,
and one of the stipulations of his going
to the penitentiary was that he should
be kept out of their way, as they had
sworn to kill him.
