KENNEDY DUG HIS GRAVE.
Killed Senatorial Chances by An
nouncing Himself for Burton.

J. NJ Kennedy of Burlington carried
Coffey county for state senator in the
district composed of Coffey and
Franklin counties. After he
won at home Mr. Kennedy made the
announcement that he was for J. r.
Burton This announcement puts him
out of the race and removes the posi-
bility of his nomination because Frank
lin county has instructed for Senator
Bakers reelection
Franklin county has thirteen dele
gates in the senatorial convention; COT
fey county has ten. This gives frank
lin county control of the convention and
Coffey county must get out an anti
Burton man or give up the nominal
ton.
Mr.. Kennedy had a "cinch'' on the
nomination until he talked about what
he was going to do against Senator
Baker.
1t is Coffey county's turn to have the
candidate for senator but the Franklin
county Republicans will pick out a
Baker man from Coffey county and
nominate him on the first ballot.

ACCOUNTING WANTED.
Wealthy Kansas City Swede Sued by
Relatives of Former Partner.


Relatives of Former Partner.
A suit was filed today in the United
States circuit court by Oscar Lundberg
and his brother, Albert, both citizens
of Sweden, against Peter Larson,
wealthy Swede of Kansas City, Kansas
The exact amount involved is not
known, but it runs up into the tens
of thousands of dollars.
1t is stated in the petition that Lar
son and Emil T4undberg, a brother of
the plaintiffs, formed a partnership in
the mercantile, real estate and loan
business in Wyandotte in 1873. and that
1t continued until February of last year
when Lundberg died, Ieavign no heirs
but his two brothers
Oscar Lundberg is in Oregon, but he
has not acquired citizenship in America
and the other brother has never left
Sweden. They claim that after the
death of their brother, Larson set out
to defraud them from inheriting his
property. It is claimed that property
of the partnership consisted of a large
amount of real estate in Kansas City,
Kansas, and about $4,000 worth of per-
sOnal property. There was a draft for
$4,000 and $4,000 in cash in a bank, be-
sides large number of notes and mort
cages.
Larson, it is claimed. filed an action
in the Wyandotte county courts,
against all possible heirs of Emil Lund-
berg, claiming that the partnership was
with the understanding that the survi-
vor should get all the property, and ask
ing that the heirs be shut out. The
brothers claim they never heard of the
suit and of course Larson was given
judgment against them.
The Kansas laws provide that judg-
ment obtained in a suit where service is
secured by publication, may be set
aside within three years, and this is the
object of this suit in the federal court.
In the meantime Larson has mortgaged
one piece of real estate for 100000, and
sold another for 81 600.
The plaintiff asks that the judgment
and the mortgage he set aside, that Lar
son be compelled to make an account
ing of the partnership, and that re-
ceiver be appointed to manage the prop
erty in the meantime.

night, but improved somewhat during

The vitality shown by Colonel Holli-

his death was at hand Saturday after
noon. but after a sleep induced by
oDiates he proved to be considerably
stronger.
Colonel Holidays heart is in such a
condition that his permanent recovery
is an impossibility and his death at any
moment will not be a surprise.

New York March 27-The week opens
on q strong market with bull sentiment
more in evidence than any time since the
present upward movement began. Every
factor of consequence is Favorable to
continuation of the advance some OF the
more enthusiastic bulls look for this
movement to last for several weeks and
feel confident that prices Will break all
previous records. The more conservative
element however are inclined to the opinion
that the rise cannot go very much fur
Their without encouraging profit taking
on large scale. The market mas had
good advance, some stocks have gone up
too rapidly, and while the reactionary
movement may be postponed for the
present it is bound to come before long.
When it does come, it will be quite Sc
we're in the shares that have been over
bulled. The public is in the market quite
extensively and It will be most remark
able if the big fellows do not quietly un-
load upon them. That is the way that
nearly all bull campaigns terminate, and
the present one is not to be an eXcep-
ton On the surface there is sentiment
enough to keep prices moving upward for
an Indefinite period but there is some
thing going on underneath that does not
look so favorable. When powerful inter-
aets like the Standard Oil company take
profits it is time for the rank and file
to prepare for a surprise. One can be
friendly towards Atchison preferred and
still hold to the opinion that the stock is
selling at prices inconsistent with the
dividend which it now pays. The advance
is explained by the Semi-oi1eial an
nouncement that a couple of dollars per
share more Will be added to the dividend
All the small holders of. Southern Pa
cffic have been cleaned out, and the stock
has passed into the hands of influential
people who it is stated intend to make It
sell considerably higher. The future OF
the stock depends upon question OF dlvl-
dends. There is some difference of opin-
ion as to whether dividend will be paid
this year. Parties who enjoy the conf
dence of insiders maintain that divi-
dend will be paid within very short
time and that the stock will go to 80.

Marshall county district there was no
opposition but now a lively contest has
E r. Fulton. 1t is a contest of one
bank against the other, an issue which
so frequently appears in Kansas politi-
cal affairs.
Fulton is chairman of the Marshall
county Republican committee and is
the principal owner of a bank. Senator
Stocks has served several times in pub
lie offices; Fulton has never before ask
ed for preferment.
w H. Smith of Marysville says the
senatorial question, Baker or Burton,
will not be a feature of this contest,
but the local issues will prevail.
Fulton and Stocks are both young
men and their popularity will furnish
an interesting contest.
