SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE con-
test among Illinois Republican Candidates
for the United States senate came to an
unexpected close about noon today by the
announcement that former Gov Tanner
and Messrs. Cannon, Hit and Prince
had withdrawn from the race, leaving
present United States Senator Cullom a.
walkover.
The announcement of Gov. Tanner'si
withdrawal came first, and was shortly
followed by announcements from the
other candidates. The exact caucuses
that led Senator Cullom's opponents to
leave him a clear field are not announc-
ed, further than that all the candidates
and their friends, after several confer
ences, agreed that it would be difficult
if not impossible to defeat Senator Gull
lon, and it would be to the interest of
party harmony, as well as to their own
interest, TIC withdraw before the matter,
came to a vote before the caucus tonight
ALMOST CAME TO BLOWS.
A lively tilt between former State
Senator Needles and State Senator Otto
Koch in the corridors of the Leland hotel
this evening began to assume a threaten
ing aspect when friends of both men
pushed in between them and persuaded
them to go to different parts of the
hotel.
Mr. Needles, who is warm friend of
Senator Cullom's, resented a statement.
which. he said, Mr. Koch had made that
he (Koch) had been offered $1,000 to vote
for Senator Cullom for United States SEN
ator
Mr. Needles offered to bet Mr.. Koch
$1,000 to 800 that he could not prove
his statement. Mr.. Koch insisted that
he could prove the truth of what he had
said, and the loud voices Of the dispu-
tants soon caused a big crowd to gather
about them. After the men had been
taken in hand by their friends, Mr.. Koch
said he did not wish any notoriety, but
he insisted that Mr. Needles, whom he
charged with having insinuated that he
had lied set him right before the guests
of the hotel.
Mr.. Koch said he did not say to Mr.
Needles that he had been offered $1,000
for his vote. but he said that he had
been approached on this point. and that
in a private interview with Mr. Needles
he could convince him that he spoke the
truth.

Hutchinson has surely been an af'
flicted city this week. The street
sprinklers went on strike and the ice
trust raised the price Of ice fifty pei
cent all in one day when the mercury
was flirting with two ciphers and the
wind was somewhat higher. Now this
paper is populist. We have a reputa'
tion to save. 1t never would be saved
if we failed to kick on this state of af.
fairs, We do kick, We kick high as
a vaudeville female at stag party in
New York at the pinching pennywise pol
icy of some of the merchants of this
city who wont do their part even to the
extent Of few cents in keeping the
streets sprinkled. We can give in any
sort Of quantity 10 get conventions and
reunions here to bring in few custom
ers but cannot give few cents to make
the streets fit to entertain our
regular patrons or ourselves. And
then the ice trust. Well, that
is something every town and hamlet has
to deal with. But such metropolis as
Hutchinson ought to have plant to
make her ice and be at the mercy Of
no one, But the average man doesn't
seem 10 have energy to kick at anything
during the heat Of such days as these.
Evidently the ice trust understands hu-
man nature.

Nearly A Fatal Accident.

Almost fatal accident occurred on
the Rock Island railroad near Partridge
last Friday night. s, c. Sovereign, a
young man thirty.four years OF age
who has been living with his mother
four or fve miles southwest Of Partridge
came 10 town TO make some ar
rangements about his harvest. He was
late getting out Of Partridge and started
to walk home along the rail road His
statement as well as we can learn is
rather confusing. But at any rate when
he was about a couple of miles from
town at about one O'Clock at night he
was struck by west bound freight just
as he was crossing cattle guard. The
train crew did not see him at all and he
laid by the track till next morning at
about eight or nine o'clock. A boy then
discovered him and went TO a neighbors
for assistance, He was then conscious
and able to call the boy. About that
time the East bound train came along
and bIought him to this city. He was
taken to Stewards hospital where his
leg was amputated, The injuries re-
ceived were so serious that it will be al
most a miracle Il he RECEIVERS. His right
leg was run over just above the ankle,
the flesh being largely torn off nearly up
to the knee and the bones also splint-
cred nearly as far, He was also struck
in the back Of the head apparently with
the head of bolt which mashed in a
piece Of the skull about the size Of
nickle, the conclusion being so strong
as not to fracture the skull any around
it. Then there was almost innumerable
other bruises. The leg was amputated
just below the knee, the skull was raised
and the other injuries attended to and
he now appears to be in fair way to
recover.
How it happened that none of the
train crew saw him is something almost
unaccountable. His statement we. un-
derstand is that he heard the train COM
ing and tried to get out Of the way but
did not realize that it was so close upon
him. 1t is always the duty of the train
crew to stop and pick up anyone in
jured, otherwise they are liable for dam
ages for neglect in not watching the
tracks, AT least this is the word Of a
railroad man.

THE Stanley-Church fiasco Of claim
ing reduction in the cost of insurance,
on claiming to have forced the inSur-
ance companies to have kept the rates
made by Webb McNall when he was
insurance commissioner, or lowered
them, is now over. About a year ago or
before election Church and Stanley held
a conference with the insurance trust
and arrived at at a friendly agreement
by which they claimed to have secured
this wonderful concessions of rates.
But now their bowels OF compassion
have been moved. Stanley and Church
have discovered that they have forced
this trust to do business at loss and
their consciences are sorely and sharply
pricked. They cannot expect the trust
to do buiness this way and one or two
companies have raised the rates, So
Mr. Church rushes into print with an in
terview to this effect to give the others
notice that they too are expected to
make horizontal increase. The sum
of it all was that during their first term
they were afraid to throw over the work
of Mr.. McNall and tried to make
showing of maintaining it. They have
lost their fear now.

pen brothers and cleaned up and i'm
proved till it is very pleasant place
to spend the leisure hours. The steam
pump has been at work till the lake is
now full and every evening there are
many bathers, Boats have been ord
cred but for unaccountable reason they
have failed to arrive, The grove is cool
and comfortable and it makes a very
pleasant place for evening concerts.
Then there is Carey's beach right in
town, just east Of Main Street and be-
tween Avenues B. and c. Here is
furnished what very few other summer
resorts in the country afford, salt water.
The lake is enclosed in high tight
board fence and all the paraphenala
for good bathing is furnished. Here
you get sea bath right at home. There
are certainly few other cities in Kansas

THE gas works located where they are
in this city are nuisance. From the
trouble the water company is having
with the gas they may find 1t out as well
as lot of the citizens. Residents OF
that part Of the city neighboring the gas
works say that they can taste gas in
their wells, some of which are more
than block away all the time and thatitis
not at all unlikely that the infection in the
wateris from their own gas works. They
never ought to have been permitted to
be located in the city, They constantly
emit odors that make property in their
vicinity undesirable. With the large
use Of acetaline and gasoline machines,
and gasoline lamps and electric lights it
would appear as though there would be
little demand for gas and that 1t would
not pay the company to keep them up
especially when they are so leaky.

According to a Washington report
the telephone slot machines are doing
an enormous work in the matter Of
taking worn-out dimes out of clrcula-
tion. There is nothing to prevent
worn-out, mutilated and almost
smooth dimes from being put into the
slots, and as result many persons
keep the worn-out dimes for that par
ticular purpose. Many druggists and
Others who keep public telephones
make no objection to taking mutilated
dimes any more for the reason that
they keep supply on hand to do a
telephone business with, When they
see that telephone user is going to
put new dime in the slot they sim
ply take it in and hand worn-out
dime in exchange.

"Ihe ethics Of gambling and the per-
lis of making haste to be rich" was the
Growth of the subject of recent
sermon by Rev.
Gambling Habit. Newollnwioht nm
Is at Plymouth church, Brooklyn. DIR.
Hills said in part; "The evils of drink
are familiar to you. There are 9TH
er evils, But the greatest peril Is the
insane spirit of gambling which seems
to have taken hold of the people, ire
spectiye of social standing or rell-
gIous belief. The insane desire to get
rich quickly Is at the bottom OF II all.
There IL no difference between the
newsboy who hips coins and the man
in Wall street who buys stocks on mar
gins on a chance that they will rise
or fall. Both wish to get something
for nothing; both are gamblers, The
ncessant gambling on all sports has
wrought intellectual decentralization to
the country. Horse racing is one Of the
nobest Of sports, but II has been de-
graded and bestallzed by gambling,
Every Saturday afternoon you see al
the race tracks thousands of working
girls and men who have families to
support crazy with the intoXcation Of
gambling. As each race Is run they
stand up, yelling, cursing, purple
faced, brutal2ed gang" In these
words DR.. Hills presents scene that
is growing to be too common for the
good of the whole country. The gam
bling which is inseparable from horse
racing at big city race tracks is. ao-
cording to the metropolitan press, n
growing menace to the honor, sobri-
ETY. and virtue of the youth of the

A measure TO change the mode of
capital punishment for United States
Gas In cnp,tulrriminols sentenced
to death will be
' introduced at the
next session of congress at the in
stance of the Allegheny County Med
ical society. The bill, reports the New
York Sun, will prescribe asphyXiation
by carbonic acid gas, instead of the
hangman's rope and the electric chair.
The agitation for n more humane
method of execution was taken up by
the Allegheny County Medical society
seven years ago and Il committee was
appointed. Statistics were gathered
to show that the present modes Of in
licting the death penalty had degen-
Grating effect on the inhabitants in
communities where the deaths took
place. Nervous disorders of eXtraor-
dinary kind had attacked persons of
sensitive temperament. The Pennsyl-
vnnia State Medical society became in
terested in the Investigations and the
discussions in that body attracted the
notice of other medical societies in this
country and in Europe. 1t is not the
object of the bill to make the punish
ment less terrifying for the criminals
sake.

of Gen. Grants tours. During his
first term as president Gen. Grant paid
a visit to Niagara Falls. He was eager
to cross over to the Canadian side,
and it was with some difficulty that
his friends restrained him, urging
that there was an unwrtten law that
the president of the United States
should not leave the country during
his term of Office. "Well," said Gen.
Grant, pulling at his cigar, "that
seems very silly law to me. would
like to cross over so that ColfaX may

The latest novelty in the counter
feiting line is reported from Phila-
Counterfe,,,nu I'm delphia, where a
lawyer was the
~ other day arrested
charged with aiding two of his cli-
ents, prisoners in Moyamenslng pris-
on, in an enterprise for the printing
of bogus $50 bills. The charge is that
the men made the plates at odd mo-
ments during their confinement
awaiting trial, and then printed the
notes with cleverly devised appara-
tus, so small that it could be hidden
in u cigar box. For paper which
would defy scrutiny they used gem
uine dollar bills, washed in man
ner to obliterate the first linking, The
daring of this scheme distinguishes it
from the ordinary work of the bad
money makers, who usually seek Sc
cluded places for their engraving and
printing. If the facts are as now rep
resented, the affair reflects seriously
upon the prison authorities, who are
supposed to exercise the closest pos
sible surveillance over the move
ments Of all prisoners, and to search
their cells periodically for contra
band articles. The United States gov
ernment would seem to have good
reason to complain of the Pennsyl-
vania prison methods,

that there isn't any use to talk about the
