NICK CHILES ARRESTED.
Police Found New Bar In OD-
GRAFTON at His Place.

Nick Chiles, publisher, hotel keeper,
Jo1ntist, and politician, was arrested today
charged with selling liquor and maintain
Ing a nuisance With him was arrested
Oscar Richardson, the charge being the
same The police made the raid shortly
after dinner and found that Nick had just
put in a new bar which was being pol
ished and put in order for business. He
was evidently feeling certain that his
place would escape the fate of some of the
other joints and intended putting in fix
lures that would be credit to first
class saloon.
The arrest was caused by Chas. Bogar-
dus, the man who has been making
speeches from wagon at the corner of
Sixth and Quincy. Bogardus came here
about a week ago and began delivering
his lectures Among the crowd that
assembled to hear him was Nick Chiles,
and as the political views advanced by
the speaker did not coincide with the
views held by Nick, he began to inter-
rupt and question the orator. Nick got
the best of it. but the next evening the
honOrs went to BOgardus- Bogardus
heard that Nick was running joint, and
threatened to make it warm for him. The
arrest today is the result. This is the
story told at the police station.

Irvine factory at the state prison was
proposed and passed, the Kansas legis-
lature was in the hands of the Repub-
Leans with a reliable majority.
John Seaton, Republican member of
the house from Atchison, introduced
the bill and was one of a committee of
several Republicans appointed to visit
the Minnesota Republican, state Irvine
plant in order to get pointers.
The committee reported favoFably
upon their return to Kansas and the
bill was passed, members Of all parties
voting for it.
In due season the plant was con-
structed and turned out a good grade of
twine- But the trusts sold to the farm
ers on time where the prison plant was
asking cash, which farmers had not,
and so the plant fell by the wayside and
has suspended operations for the time.
1t will be revived again, too. The meas
urc is a well meant move and Kansas
Republicans have nothing to regret in
their establishment of this plant, but
the Sun should give the facts in the
case and remember that there is a
trust in Irvine as well as in ice.

His Political Views.

Toledo, O., Aug. 3.-It was 2 o'clock
when the meeting of the Ohio association
of Democratic clubs was called to order
in the Lyceum theater. When Mayor
Jones was presented to the association
he delivered one of his characteristic ad-
dresses of welcome. After welcoming
the Democrats he declared the declara-
ton of independence to be an immortal
document, which he discussed at con-
siderable length. Then he talked about
partisanship and concluded as fol-

Extreme Precautions Taken to Pre-

Paris, Aug. 3.-As a result of the at

crowd which surrounded the palace of
sovereigns today, was prevented from
approaching the palace when the shah
started for Vivennes, where a military
review was held in his honor.
An escort of dragons surrounded the
royal carriage. The shah seems the least
concerned of all over the effort to take
his life and he has not curtailed the pro-
gramme he had in view. The discovery
of SalSon'S identity was made by means
of the Bertillon system, his measure
