THEN TURNED DOWN
Samuel Jones, of Lyons, Picked

Clark Has Offended Because He
is a SpirituaIist.

Judge AnseI r. Clark of the Twen-
tieth district. will very likely be given
a one-year lease of official life. A judge
must be appointed in the Twentieth
district because of the working of the
biennial election law. AS far as the
local Republican organization is con-

derstood in the deal however that he Is
not to run for reelection in 1902.
It is said that the deal is SO well
sealed that this compact will be carried
out.
Judge Clark is at outs politically
with the crowd that runs things in
Rice, Barton and Stafford counties. He
has made several bad breaks, when the
question of policy is considered, but his
critics admit that he is sound on the
law. They all speak of Clark as one of
the ablest district judges on the bench
in Kansas.
A break that he made that is not SO
easily overlooked however, by the old
soldiers, is his recent decision that the
old soldiers appointment law was I'M
constitutional.
CIark's chief besetting sin, according to
one source of information, is his weak
ness for spiritualism. This does not SUN

YOUNG GIRL MISSING.
Lillian Brown, of Emporia, May
Have Suicided.

Emporia, Kas., Aug 14-Aiss Lillian
Brown, of this city, has disappeared.
and no trace of her can be discovered.
Miss Brown, while in fit of melan-
choly, informed her aged parents that
she would destroy herself. They did
not attach much Importance to her
words until she could not be found.
The matter was kept a secret and d
search was at once begun.
It is thought that she jumped into
the Cottonwood river, south of town,
as a. person of her description was seen
going in that direction. The river was
patrolled today for several miles, and
will probably be dragged tonight or
tomorrow. Miss Brown comes of a re-
spectacle family, and was known as
one of the prettiest girls in the COM
munity. Melancholia is supposed to
have been the reason for her strange
behavior.

WON'T DO IT.
Governor Decides Not to Appoint
Sheriffs and Treasurers.
Will Not Even Help Make a
Test Case.

Sheriffs and treasurers in Kansas
1O5 counties will be allowed to retain
office for another year and until their
successors are elected at the fall cleo
ton of 1902, as far as Governor Stanley
is concerned. 1t is understood that the
governor has decided to let them stay
in Office for the extra year and not at
tempt to make any appointments. Cow
ernor Stanley will not even make a
test appointment for the courts to pass
upon.
There has been a hubbub about the
tenures Of the sheriffs and county
treasurers of the state ever since the
supreme court declared the biennial
election law valid.
Attorney General GODDARD rendered
the opinion that the places were open
to appointment, and that an appointed
successor filed the constitutional re-
qufrement, and that the one year Spe-
cial term would count as a. term. So
for a man elected in 1900 the one year
would be his second term, and the man
elected in 1898 must be dropped be-
cause the extra one year would be a
third term, which he is not allowed to
have by law.
Owing to this state of affairs candf-
dates OF every color have arisen. In
every county prepare tons are on for
a scramble. Aspirants are looking for
any sort of a pretext to throw the in
With characteristic shrewdness the
Albaugh- Leland Stanley crowd have
scented the trouble ahead, and take
this way of getting out from under.
Stanley knows that in choosing be-
tween a dozen men for one or two
offices in every county In the state lies
the most dangerous rocks in the chan
mel at the other end of which lies the
United States senate. If he puts the
old fellows out they will fight him
tooth and nail. He would get one man
out of a possible dozen or two for each
place on his side by putting him in
and have the rest of the crowd, in
Guiding the ousted ones. on his back
Governor Stanley is going to get the
next office he goes after he says.
I'll bet you $500 I get the next office
go after" said the governor to a
chatting friend yesterday
What's the Office you are going
after?''
But the governor was coy. He was
not to be caught. He would not reply
when asked to specify whether 1t was
to be a race for Sunday school super
intendent or United States senator.

FRENCH PAPERS SEVERE.
Comments on American Tendency To-
ward Land Grabbing.

New York. Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris gives the follow
ing comments OF the French papers
upon the COlOmbian-ve Venezuelan moi
dent:
The Journal Des Debats says: 1T is
to be presumed that the Colombian
government will think twice before ac-
-cepting the aid of the government of
Washington in its trouble with vene-
zuela-
1.-The recent history Of Cuba is not
encouraging in this connection It is
difficult to imagine the United States
rendering assistance to Colombia with
out demanding compensation and the
establishment of some form Of Ameri-
can influence in the isthmus seems to
be the compensation expected Such an
event as this would far exceed the pro-
portions Of a merely American happen
ing"
The Steele says: 1.-THE basis of United
States Intervention in the contest be
tween two South American republics
is laid down, and should the present
situation be prolonged the cabinet at
Washington Will know how to turn 1t to
the best account.
Colombia claims onerous terms for
the cession of the territory through
which the Panama canal is to pass, and
it may well be that the United States
sees in the present an excellent OPP
portunity for selling territory and with
it the rights of Colombia over the un-
completed enterprise of the interoceanic
canal
"One may be sure. moreover. that the
acknowledgements conflict viii last as
long as the cabinet at Washington
wishes, and viii have just the import
ance which the cabinet wishes"
The Figaro says THE United States
is preparing to intervene between Ven
ezuela and Colombia who are quarrel
ing irnprudently.
1T is a fine opportunity to put Pan
America and he canal in its pocket
by protecting Colombia and Venezuela
as It protects Cuba and the Philippines.
Formerly that was called take then
annex now it is pronounced pro-
tect.'

TO NARROW THE OCEAN
Trip Across the Atlantic TO Be
Made in A l-2 Days.

London, Aug. 14.-The house of lords
took an unusual step this morning in
suspending the seasonal order with
the object Of passing onits second read
ing the bill granting special powers to
build a pier and other works at Bere-
haven in Bantry Bay, Ireland, in con-
nection with the proposed fast steam
ship line from Berehaven to the United
States by which it is expected the voy-
age will be accomplished in four and
one-hals days. The bill had already
passed the house of commons. Lord
James Of Hereford remarked that such
great public interests were concerned
that the government desired to pass the
bill at the present session.
