TOPEKA WENT WET.
Hughes, Republican Nominee for
Mayor, Was Beaten.

Special to the Reflector.
TOPEKA, April S.-The unofficial
count gives Parker, the fusion and
"wet" candidate for mayor, II ma
jority over Col. Hughes, the Republic
can candidate. There is little doubt
Of Parker's victory being maintained
as the changes il any in the official
count will probably be in his favor.
About $4,000 votes were cast, the
women's vote being largely for
Hughes. Hughes unpopularity help
ed defeat him. The remainder OF the
Republican ticket except one council
man was elected.

Washington, March 2a.-The marine

is reported on the isthmus of Tehuan-

Coatzacoalcos. Chief Sanitary Officer
Gorgas reports to the war department
that the death rate in Cuba is steadily
decreasing. The deaths in February
were very. much fewer than during
any February since 1890, and actually
less than any meath Of the preceding
~ years. The last February Of Span
lsh rule, 1898, showed death rate Of
over 80 to every 1000 people. The
death rate for February, 1901, Is over

THE DEADLOCK BROKEN.
Gov. Dietrich and Joseph II MlIlard Select
cd for the Senatorial Short and Long
Terms In Nebraska,

Lincoln, Neb., March c9.-The Ne
braska deadlock, the most notable pc.
litical struggle in the history of the
state, was broken yesterday by the Sc
lection of Gov. Charles II. Dietrich and
Joseph H. Willard for the short and
ling terms, respectively. In caucus
the first sensation Of the day came
with the appearance Of D. +. Thbmp-
son, the short term caucus nominee.
who formally announced his with
drawal from the race and suggested
the name of Gov. Dietrich as his sue
cessor. Reasonable assurance was
given that his suggestion would be
ratified.
The next sensation was the an
nouncement of Edward Rosewater's
withdrawal in favor of George W.
Iininger, of Omaha. Meanwhile J. II.
Milard had appeared as a new North
Platte candidate and he Immediately
became a hot opponent of Crounse for
the place. Mr.. Milard's name was
prominently linked with that of Mr..
Dietrich as a running mate and from
then on the caucus complexion seemed
to indicate the speedy nomination of
the two.
Four ballots were speedily taken.
On the first Gov. Dietrich was nomi-
mated almost by reclamation, Harlan
receiving few votes. Two more dis
closed close fight between Willard
and Crourse, the second ballot show
ing 80 to "a in the formers favor.
Then the third was taken and Willard
had gained considerable further lead.
II was then moved to name him by
reclamation and this was done on the
fourth ballot.
J. II. Willard is a native of Canada,
60 years old, but has lived in Ne
braska many years. He is president
of the Omaha national bank and n
prominent figure in the upbuilding Of
the Nebraska metropolis Charles II.
Dietrich was born in Illinois As years
ago. His early manhood found him a
pioneer in the Black hills Later he
came to Nebraska, locating at Hast
ines and is at the head Of the German
national hank of that city Mr.. Diet
rich was elected governor on the re.
publican ticket last November.

BENEFIT TO vINITA
Because it Will Give an Addition
al Fast Mail and Passenger
Train Each Way Although the
Proposed Schedule Causes
Them to Pass in the Night.

AS already announced. the Fris-
co line will, on March 10, formal
ly open its Sapulpa extension to
Denison, Tex. Trains have been
running as far as Madill, forty-four
miles north of Denison, for some
time, and the balance of the ex-
tension was practically completed
last week. No reason has been
assigned as yet for delaying the
running of trains into Denison un-
til March 10, but it has developed
that the Frisco officials are pre-
pairing, probably, to spring a sur
prise on their competitors.
Il is we'll known that quite an
amount of new passenger equip
ment was ordered by the Frieco
some time ago. This is now COM
pleted aad ready to be delivered,
the greater part of it to be put in
service on trains running out of
st. Louis to Denison via Vinita.
Plans are nearly completed now
by the Frisco for putting on new
night train out of st. Louis, which
will make direct connection with
the Houston and Texas Central
and the Southern Pacific for all
southwestern and California
points. The exact date for begin
ming this new service has not been
determined, but it is said it will
be between March 10 and March
II. These new trains will pass
through vinita each way during
the night.
General Passenger AgentBryan
Snyder and General Superintend-
ent Davidson have been working
out the details Of the plan for some
time past and considerable secrecy
in the matter mas prevailed. n
may be set down for certain, how
ever, that the new train is a 90,
and this may account for the Sa-
pulpa extension into Dsnison.

Naval omcer Invents a Game.

One of the latest fads is golf croquet.
It was originated by Lieutenant Com
mander Henry McCrea of the United
States navy. The balls used are SINH
lar to ordinary croquet balls, only
made smaller. The mallet is also
shaped somewhat like the croquet
mallet, but has longer and more
solid handle, like the golf club. One
end of the mallet is lofted or cut off
at an angle, so that in the first drive,
which is made exactly as in a game of
golf. the ball is sent a much longer
distance than in ordinary croquet
The wickets used in golf croquet are
square topped, and are placed irregu-
larly and at irregular distances, so
that the ground resembles a miniature
golf course with wickets instead of
holes. When near wicket the shot is
made with the straight edge of the
mallet. The game has the merit Of
occupying less space than a golf
course. is easier played and requires
far less exertion. Complete sets for
playing golf croquet comprise four
persimmon-head mallets, with hickory
STATS and leather grips, six whitewood
balls and nine nickel plated wickets.

A BEN BUTLER VETERAN.

John Budd, old and quaint, has for
years been the toll-gatherer at the end
OF the wiscasset bridge, the longest
in the State of Maine. A few days
ago Budd was sitting in the sun at
the door of his little booth, smoking
his pipe. Two young men. evidently
city boys on a pedestrian tour. came
along across the bridge and stopped to
pay their toll. They eased their KNAPP
sacks on their shoulders. and sat down
on bench at the side of the booth for
a moments rest. Budd naturally asked
them whence they had come and
whittier they were going. Our home
is in New Orleans" said the older of
the Young men. I'VE are up here in
Maine for the summer" Il stopped in
New Orleans at one time" said Budd
uWhen was that?" when ! was with
General Butler" We'll, you can't be
very proud OF that" And why not,
Won Young snippet?" demanded Budd,
with Just as much asperity. Because
Butler was an insulter of women, a
tyrant. and an old thief-thats what
he was-and the boys of New Orleans
who never saw him hate him just as
much as the men and the women who
suffered from his orders. And. besides,
he stole all the spoons out OF my
grandfather's hotel?' HE did, Ell "
snapped Budd. What was the name
of your grandfather's hotel?" THE st.
charles" "You iIst wait moment,
young man" Budd went upstairs to
his living room and brought down a
heavy canvas bag, He opened it and
took out handful OF spoons. On the
handle was engraved st. Charles. >
"What do those look like?" demanded
Rudd. why, those are some of the
spoons from my grandfather's hotel, :
pasped the young man. Where did
vou come on those2' II stole EN-,
said Budd placidly; and know who
stole the rest OF en-, and we all did
/, NJ the risk of our lives, for, L. Gen
oval Rutler had known 1t he would
have had us strung up. Now, yon take
hack what you said about him. Take
q hack or will dump yoa both over
tho rail there" Daunted by the glare
IN the eyes of the old man. the boys
apologiged for their hasty words. Then
the older said: "Sir, my father Will
nav any price for those old spoons,
don't know Just how much money
have with me, but | will give 1t to you
every cent, II you will give me those
memorials of my grandfather. They
can be worth nothing more to you
now" Let me tell you" replied
Budd. that you couldn't bring none,
enough in two-horse wagon to bu,
