THREE SOLID MEN
With Telescopes Will Try to
Find MilIer's Record.
TFrom the Emporia Gazette

The opposition to Miller will develop
three solid men in the field against him
between now and Christmas, each of
these coming from one of the big coun-
ties. One is a lawyer of state fame and
politician known in every county in
the district; one is an old soldier and an
editor who has furnished one thousand
times more reprint copy for the To-
peka papers and for the Republican
party of his county and his state than
J. M. Miller, in all his speaking, ever
has; the third man is a banker who has
lived in Kansas thirty years and is
known as a business man all over the
west.
These three men can control without
question three of the largest counties in
the district or over one-third of the
votes IN the congressional convention.
Lyon county, which may or may not go
for Mil1er-it would be boastful to say
how it will go-may furnish enough to
make two-fifthS minority against Mil
ler
Now that is a respectable minority
even if Miller carries every vote in
every other county-which is unlikely.
The Gazette asks in a spirit of all fair
ness as a Republican paper that has
never bolted a candidate nor repudi-
ated a plank of a Republican platform
that in this fight for a congressional
candidate above factions and worthy of
the solidest Republican district in the
ter with the courtesy that it deserves
1t is as unfair for an outside paper to
boost Miller as it is to knock him. The
Gazette is willing to tackle Mr.. Miller
on his record when he trots it out and
quits running as a factionalist-
His allegation that the Emporia post
office is in the fight is not true. The
Gazette did all it could to prevent the
endorsement of Wiggam, but since the
day after it was made not one word
against Wiggam nor his appointment
nor his worthiness has appeared in this
paper nor has been written or spoken
by anyone connected with this paper
nor anyone known as friendly to this
paper.
Wiggam is Miller's own corpse, he can
do as he pleases with him. What the
Gazette objects to is Miller using that
appointment as his breastwork and
If he doesn't want to run on his con-
to substitute his record as county attor-
ney or as state legislator-any old rec
ord will do-just so it is not factional
fight.
The Republicans of this district don't
care for the alleged wrongs of Martindale,
nor the alleged wiclxednesS of Hood /.
What they want is an able. brOad-gauged
Republican in congress, a fit associate for
Long and Curtis and Scott and Bower
this district. at least many of them,
enough to make respectable minority.

hoping to secure a patent and get
wealthy. This morning he employed a
dozen boys to watch the patent office,
fearing his patent was about to be sto-
len. Saturday night he sent a telegram
to his sister, Miss Minnie E. Farr, at
Hanover, Kan, and a response came
this morning. The case was reported
to the sanitary officer, Mr.. Frank, who
gave directions to the police surgeons
to investigate it One of the surgeons
examined him and declared him to be

ArTHE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Alden Benedict's company in the Chase
dramatization of "Quo Vadis' appeared
at the Crawford last night before a
small audience.
There is a special class in the theatri-
cal world known as the Benedict class
and any theatrical man in the country
knows just what you mean when you
put the brand of Benedict on any at
traction. There are plenty of theater
patrons, too, who thoroughly under
stand the stamp of Benedict and that
may account for the small audience. 1t
should not be understood that the play
ers presenting "Quo Vadis" were bad.
They were superior in many ways to
scores of so-called thespians. but the
religious play was one that is sure to
be tiresome in any but the most compe-
tent hands. If Mr.. Benedict would have
the same company play "a Star Gazer,'
or Michael Strogoff,'' the audience
would certainly get more for the adj
mission money, but Mr.. Benedict has a
failing for plays that better the world
and awake deep thought. He has been
Juggling 'Fabio Romoni'' around the
country for a quarter of a century.
There must be a class of people who
enjoy such attractions. If there were
not, Benedict would have had to shelve
the '.Fabio" years ago. It is safe to
say there were people in the audience
last night who were thoroughly salts
fed with the play.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 29.-After being
entombed in the Highland Boy mine at
Bingham, Utah, for sixty-one hours,
Charles Nutting was taken out by the
rescuing party that has been constantly
at work since the cave-in occurred. He
was alive but very weak when found.
The space in which he was imprisoned
was so small that he was unable to
stand up A plentiful supply of fresh
air, however, served to prolong life until
he was taken out. One other man, Will
liam Anderson, is still in the mine and
the rescuing party will continue its
work until he is found. There is no
hope. however, of finding him alive.
