siOnal Career With Morrill,.
Elected at Large, Then From
Seventh District.
TRIED FOR GOVERNOR.
He Never Came Near the NOmi-
nation, However.
Like Mckinley, He Is a Native
of Ohio.
TRIED FOR GOVERNOR.

Samuel r. Peters began his official
career in 1875 as judge of the Ninth Ju-
dicial district. He had been elected to
the state senate in 1874. and was serv-
ing his term in that capacity when a
vacancy occurred on the bench and he
resigned to take the appoin tment. He
was then elected judge in the fall of
that year. and was given another term
two years later. He was living at Ma
rion during this period. When the
State Bar association was organized
Peters was its first secretary. In 1873
Peters aspired to become a congress-
man, but was defeated by Tom Ryan
for the nomination. In 1882, however,
four congressmen-at-1 We're as
signed to Kansas and Peters was one
of the big four" chosen. The other
three were E. N. Morrill,, afterWard
governor, 3. w. Perkins and Lewis
Hanback,. In 1884 he was reelected by
the Seventh district, the state then hav-
ing been reapportioned- For two sue
cesSiVe terms he was also reelected,
but in, 1890 he declined a denomination,
stating that he could not afford to stay
in congress by reason of the meager
salary.
Peters was a commissioners of the
Hutchinson reformatory under Gov
ernor Morrill,. He was a candidate for
governor in 1896 against Morrill,. but
the latter was given his chance for
second term only to lose to Leedy.
He was appointed postmaster at
Newton in 1897, the intervals of I'M
official life being occupied in the prac-
tice of law and editing of the Repub-
Iican.
Samuel R. Peters was born in Wal
nut township, Pickaway county, Ohio,
August &c. 1912. His childhood was
spent on a farm. He entered the Ohio
Wesleyan university in the fall of 1859
He left school in October, 1861, and en-
listed as a private in company E,
Seventy third Ohio. For conspicuous
gallantry at Gettysburg in taking
charge of his company when superior
officers were gone Peters was elevated
from sergeant to lieutenant The pro-
motion did not come along. however,
until after he had been with Grant at
Chattanooga, in the charge with his
regiment that opened up the Cracker
line" He went through the Atlanta
campaign, was wounded at Resaea,
and went with Sherman to the sea,
after which he was promoted to cap
tain in 1865.
Captain Peters went back to school
at once after being mustered out He
went to Delaware again for brief
time, and then went into the law
school at Michigan state university
He was graduated from there March
81, 1861 and began practice at once at
Memphis, No On August 1868. hn
bought the Memphis Reveille. which
paper he edited until January. 1873
when on account of falling health he
removed to Kansas, where he began
the practice of law at Marion.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Exceptional Interest Being
Shown in Mexican Railroads.
Much Speculation Concerning
Fate of the Roads There.
SOME REPORTS FALSE.

SOME REPORTS FALSE.
Frisco Thought to Be in Con-
troll of the International.

Unusual interest is being shown just
now in Mexican railroad properties, in
financial circles of the United States.
The recent published announcements
which have gone unchallenged, that the
Mexican Central road has passed into
the control of capitalists interested in
the st. Louis and San Francisco and
that the Mexican National road is to
become a part of either the Southern
Pacific or the Gould system, has been
received by the business men of Mexico
with the deepest interest. These report
ed tranSac tionS have caused much spec
ulation as to other probable changes
involving other independent railroad
lines of Mexico. 1t was reported recent
ly that the Mexican Central interests
were negotiating for the purchase of
the Mexican-Nera Cruz road, which
runs from the City of Mexico to the port
OF Vera Cruz. This is the pioneer rail-
road of Mexico and is an English prop
erty. If such negotiations We're pending
1t Is evident that they have been SES-
pended or declared Off A full report of
the proceedings of the meeting of the
stockholders of the road held recently
in London has just reached Mexico and
in it is no record of such a deal having
been mentioned at the meeting.
1t is also said that both the Mexican
Central and the Mexican National in
terests are seeking to acquire or obtain
control of the Interoceanic railroad. The
Mexico to Vera Cruz and has some val
liable feeders or branch lines. Next to
the Mexican Central and the Mexican
National the most extensive and inn
pOrtant system of railway in Mexico
is the Mexican International, which was
owned and operated as part of the
Southern Pacific system up to the time
of the death of President G. p. Hunting
ton. It is said that it is no longer a
part Of the Southern Pacific since the
reorganization of that company was eff
fected, the Pacific Improvement COM
pany, which was formerly a part or
branch of the Southern Pacific, having
taken it over. The most interesting
rumor that has been in circulation re-
Gently concerning the Mexican Interna-
tional is that it has also been acquired
by parties who have control of the af-
fairs of the St Louis and San Francisco
and that it viii be used by the latter
to form a through line between St
Louis, Memphis and Kansas City and
the port of either Manzanillo or Mazat-
Ian, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The
most important branch line of the Mex
lean international is that which runs
from Reata, in the state of Coahuila, to
Monterey.

MORMONS FOR MEXICO.
They Would Like to Colonies the
Yaqui Lands.

Mexico City, June ia Mormon
agent, James Cannon, is here for the
purpose of securing from the govern
ment q concession for settling a thou
sand Mormons in Sonora on the lands
from which Yaqui Indians have been
driven. Mr.. Cannon says:
I'VE believe that if suitable tracts of
lands are placed at our disposal in the
country in the interest of peace, for the
Mormon church has faced the Indian
problem almost since its organization
I'VE require no rifles in our man
ways instilling into his mind that we
are his friends and not his foes. If the
concession is obtained a commissioner
will be sent at once into the Yaqui ter
ritOry by the Mormon church for the
purpose of ascertaining the attitude of
the Indians, and if peaceful a contract
will be made and lands purchased from
the Yaquis"

TO NAVIGATE THE AIR.
Two Kansas Men Have a Machine
Which They Claim Will Work.

Kansas City. June .1s.-Two men
from Olathe, Kas-. Wheeler and Nc
Clure have the model of an airship at
$50 Walnut street, in which they say
they will make an ascension at Kansas
City July 4. Like all airship inventors,
they are very sanguine.
Our invention is like the upper part
of two balloons cut off said one. The
two upper parts Of the balloons are
held by hollow steel shafts These two
shafts pun the balloons down and up.
They are worked by motive power,
which win be built as light as can
be made to do the work. which viii be
placed in a boat about like a sunfish
with two half balloons at it's mouth to
pun in forward in the air and a rud-
der. or tail. to guild it. This one that
we propose to raise on July 4 will be
forty feet across and shafts ten feet
long. This viii require the sunfish boat
to be fifteen feet deep through the mid
die and five feet wide. Have to have
room inside to use our propeller
