THOMPSON FOR ASSISTANT.
Pratt Man May Get Important Govern
ment Position.

ment Position.
Topeka, Kan, April 25.-J. Q. Thomp-
son. the well known lawyer of Pratt
county. win probably be appointed as
sistant attorney general for one of the
departments at Washington. All the
Kansas state officers, including the su-
preme court judges now here, today
signed a recommendation for Judge
Thompson for such a position and for
warded it to Washington. Senator Bur
ton can also be counted upon to push
the matter along, as he and Thompson
are warm friends. When the crowd of
Kansas statesmen returned recently from
Washington, they gave it out that Kan
sas was to have more federal patronage
than it has had in the past. The posi-
ton of assistant attorney general was
evidently one of the places they corralled.
Judge Thompson is not working his
boom. In fact, he does not know any
thing about 1t. The matter leaked out
here today through one of the officials
who signed the recomm Judge
Thompson is an Iowa man, and has been
an important factor in Republican poll
tics in Western Kanses for several years

tai electors last fail. His wife was a

Workmen Witness a sad Spectacle at
Ningnra.

Niagara Falls. April 25.-Workmen en-
gagged in the construction OF the NAM
moth chimney for the plant of the Natur-
al Food company, were Mortified early
this afternoon to see a boat with a lonely
occupant drifting rapidly toward the
brink OF the Horse Shoe Falls. The men
called the attention Of the superintendent
in charge Of the works, and he, with
several others, ran toward the bank of
the river, but there they found them
selves powerless to offer any aid to the
man. who evidently realized that he was
drifting TO certain death
A heavy mist was rising from the falls,
but the man could be seen making heroic
efforts to reach the Canadian shore. The
current at this portion Of the river is
fierce and wild, it being the head Of the
rapids above the falls. The boat was
seen to enter the tossing waters and then
was lost to view

Topeka, Kans., April estate Fish
Warden George ". Wiley OF Meade,
Kansas, was in Topeka last evening. In
conversation with a reporter he said that
he had made arrangements fer the pur-
chase Of an the fish raised this year by
Eugene Catta, of Iangdon. Kansas.
They viii be ready for distribution
some time during the latter part of the
summer" he said. '.The government fish
car viii be in this state some time dur
ing the spring. I expect TO be able to use
the fun amount OF the appropriation
made by the legislature for this depart
ment this year.
This is a branch of work that here
tofore has been sadly neglected. We
should have several deputy wardens who
viii DO their duty in every. county in the
state where fishing is good. Our rivers
are being seined clean of FISH b. the farm
ers along the course Of the II ers. It IS
my hope that these depradatons may be
stepped AT least a great effort VIII be
made 70 regulate these matters in the

think now was the luckiest thing that

think along the same lines that Frank

viii tell you so. He once wrote book
about himself as the champion Alliance

Scott has been so busy getting rich
down in Texas in the last couple Of
weeks that he let his home on Arundle
Hill In Emporia be taken by creditors,
by default of payment on a loan, through
the process Of the court last Monday.
The money that he borrowed on his res
idence was sunk in politics Scott was so
busy making money that he did not come
up to object to the loan company fore
closing on his house.
After SCOTS hard earned lesson in poll
tics he went to Texas and embarked in
the real estate business.
He managed several large tracts Of land
down there, owned by eastern boomers.
Scott became a railroad land boomer. He
got some land Of his own He also made
a wide acquaintance with the country
and today he is sitting in little Il by Is
room and turning more money than the
banks OF Emporia. John Madden got
home from Beaumont. Tex, on Monday.
He has since received a telegram from
Scott, whose guest he was while there.
that two more gushers were struck that
day and the days sales in Scott's offices
reached over $3.50 The people viii
realize why Scott is glad he was beaten
for congress. The daily sales for weeks
have been running near these figures
and Scott gets from five to ten per cent
for making the deals. He has in the
bank to his own credit about as much
money as any man in Emporia today.
He is also an owner in several of the
large wells.

Tines ARE CHANGED
Story of an Ex-ConsuI Relat-
ing TO James G. Blaine.
He WAS CONSERVATIVE
In the Light of Events of More
Recent Times.

Washington, April 25.-"It is hard to
realize that these are the same United
States I lived in before Dewey sank that
Spanish squadron in Manila Bay" said
veteran ex-consul to correspondent
today. I'VE Of the foreign service used
to think that James c. Blaine was the
very arch-angel of American push In
fact. the danger we all felt to be most
menacing was founded on the idea that
he would overstep the bounds of common
prudence and pick a quarrel somewhere
for the sake Of the chance it would give
the country TO expand its borders. On
the other hand. Mckinley was regarded.
in Blaines time, as a conservative 70 the
very verge of cowa-dice. Now look at
the way they have exchanged places!
Il was consul at a port under the di-
m:nion Of France while Blaine was secre-
tary OF state, and party of French cap
italists approached me with a scheme
which seemed to promise great benefit TO
our nation The Turkish government
was Just then in financial straits. and had
opened negotiations with them for the
sale of the Island of Rhodes. They pro-
posed to buy the island, and use It for
certain business purposes they had in
mind; but, for reasons which do not mat
ter now, they did not care to invite their
own government to make it a French
colony. What they did wish was to give
the government of the United States
coaling station there for its navy, asking
nothing in return. but that we should
hoist the American flag over the whole
island and take it under our protection.
7 wrote to Mr.. Blaine without delay,
giving him full particulars. I showed him
how badly handicapped we should be if a
war should ever break out between our
country and one of the powers Of Europe
in having no place in the Mediterranean
or its adjacent waters where our vessels
could coal. Here was chance offered to
US which might never come again. and
the one consideration named vas simpli-
city itself. You may imagine my disap-
pointment when I received his answer,
substantially as follows:
I note all you say about the desir-
ableness Of a naval station on the Island
of Rhodes, and the proposition is most
tempting. But it would never Go to ac-
ceut such an offer. For more than a
half-century we have been vehemently
warning the nations of Europe not to in
wade our hemisphere. If we should raise
the American flag over Rhodes, they
would accept it as an admission that we
had abandoned our hands Off policy. and
that the Monroe Doctrine had become a
dead letter; and the next thing would be
an attempt on the part or one OF them to
obtain foothold over here. AS you viii
see, the proposal cannot be entertained,
though [ approve your enterprise in sub
hitting it.
thine certainly works wonders, when
the same government. under control of
the same party that baked then at the
idea of raising the flag over one island or
the other hemisphere, now keeps it floating
over a thousand islands. even at the cost
of a long and harassing war with their
natives
