GOES TO CHICAGO.
Mr.. C. H. Riggs Assumes General
Management of the Creamery Pakc-

MIR. C. H. Riggs Assumes General
Management of the Creamery Pakc-
age Co.
The directors of the Creamery Pack
age Manufacturing company held their
annual meeting Wednesday. the 18th
and the result is an important change
in the personnel Of the management.
While C. NJ. Gates was reelected
president, he has practically retired
from active participation in the man
agement of the company as a result of
continued i'll health, which has kept
him away from business almost wholly
during the past year.
The active general management of
the entire concern was placed in the
hands of C. 81. Riggs of Minneapolis,
who will remove to Chicago at once,
where he will take up permanent resi-
dence. Mr.. Riggs viii be succeeded
at Minneapolis by his assistant, Mr..
Cooper.
The Office now filed by Mr. Riggs is
a new one, and its incumbent chosen
because of his long years of connection
with the company, together with his
wide experience and well-known
capacity for the management of this
sort of business. In addition to being
made general manager, Mr.. Higgs was
elected "a member of the directorate.
His power to conduct the business is
almost unlimited, and that he win
succeed in adding largely to the bust
ness of the institution is predicted by
all who know his strength of character
and business qualifications.
The many friends of Mr.. Riggs in
Mankato will be glad to know of his
advancement in business way, but
will, at the same time. regret his de-
parture from the state. With his
family he will remove to Chicago on
Thursday OF this week. and take up
his residence in Oak Park. Our best
wishes 90 with them.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

The season of good cheer Is again
here, and the Free Press wishes Its
many readers merry Christmas.
Christmas is really the most pleasant
season of the year. There is always .
sort Of mystery about it which lends
an added charm to the joyousness ex-
pressed at that time while the happi
ness of youth. spreads to those of older
years, and makes all better as result.
A cold sordid world this would indeed
become were it not for the Christmas
season with its spirit Of giving. and
good viii among men, as taught by
Christ, made more manifest among
men. Much better would Ii be for
this old world of ours If this spirit
could be manifested throughout the
full 365 days of the year, but much is
gained if in this age of commercial
ism, against which 80 much is said,

Secretary Long has approved the
verdict of the Schley court of inquiry
in so far, as it is.unahimous, and that
part of it found blythe majority. He
also notes that the finding of Admiral
Dewey as to Schley's conduct of the
battle of Santiago. and his being in
full command at that time. is outside
the province of the court, .as no testi-
mony was taken on that point, and it
will be remembered that it was on. the
objection of Admiral Dewey that such
evidence was shut out. 1t is hard to
see where Secretary Long could do
other than be. has in.this respect, and
maintain the dignity of his depart
ment and when-the public gets down
to the ground again In cool, second
sober thought. we believe it will see
the fairness of his act. 1t is said that
Schley and his friends will appeal to
President Roosevelt for a board of ar
bitration to review--the findings of the
court of inquiry and also to take addi-
tional testimony covering some points
which Dewey excepted to. and eepe-
cially as to the battle of Santiago.
This request 1t is believed in Wash
ington, the president will refuse The
proposal Is that the president appoint
one member of this board, Schley one,
and Sampson. This would make q
board which would probably stand
just where the court of inquiry did,
and settle nothing. 1t is ..also said
that the belief is gaining ground that
If the bill providing for the restor-
alton of Schley to regular service, and
then retiring him, Sampson and Capt.
Clark on the grade of vice admiral Is
passed, President Roosevelt will veto
it, on the ground that congress is in
terfering with the rights, preroga-
tives and judgment of the president in
his appointing power, by and with
the consent of the senate. and in this
Roosevelt would doubtless be right. 1T
can be set down as fact that neither
side in this controversy will get any
undue advantage through the presi-
dent. but if they would but listen they
would get much good advice. In the
meantime Roosevelt has ordered Mac
Clay's resignation. the court of in
quiry was unanimous in its finding
on the main point for which it was
called, and Schley's friends ought to
find il good time to quit.

million bushels. The buying was by pit
traders and commission houses. Country
acccptances were reported small; the cash
demand shows improvement.
Oats We're moderately active within a

holdings today. Local stocks in all posi-
tons were S.155 900 bushels, and caused
some short selling.

LAMBERT AND JOBES.
They Are the Storm Center in
Kansas Politics Now.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-Things
assumed very interesting proportions
after the arrival in the city of Pension
Agent Cyrus Leland, United States
District Attorney L E. Lambert, Secre-
tary of State George Clark and State
Bank Examiner.C. S. Jobes. They came
in Thursday afternoon and took quar-
ters at the Normandie hotel, where pre-
cautionary measures We're taken to not
show their identity. They requested
their names to be omitted from the reg
lister and word was left with the hotel
clerks to deny their presence if inquiry
was made.
Being under the impression that Sen
ator Burton was a guest at the Dewey
hotel, which has frequently been an
nounced as Kansas headquarters the
Leland crowd was very much surprised
to meet the senator face to face in the
hotel corridors shortly after their ar
rival The usual greetings were ex-
changed by the party, but the meeting
ended in a very short conversation,
when Burton excused himself
It is understood that Burton is unde-
cided as to what recommendations he
will make in the matter of Leland's re-
appointment, but as to Lambert'S case
gossip has it that the latter will have
Leland crowd to Washington at this
time is in the interests of Lambert and
Jobes, and incidentally to clinch Lee
lands office for another lease of four
years
Friday morning the Leland crowd
waited upon the solicitor general and
went over the charges pending against
Lambert as district attorney and Jobes
as bank examiner in the Emporia bank
matter Charges have been pending in
the department of justice against these
officials, as well as Albaugh for the
past two years, and must now be settled
before any recommendations Will be
considered for their retention. Consid-
erable pressure is being grought to bear
by Kansas politicians to discontinue the
services of Lambert and Jobes. They
seem determined to effect their desires
and claim to make public additional
evidence against these men in the En-
poria bank case
No sooner had the Leland party ar
rived than did J. c. Patterson of En-
pOria make his presence known in the
city. Patterson is a wealthy stock rais-
er and says he represents the commit
tee of depositors of the Emporia de-
funct bank. He says he is loaded with
damaging information and that he will
do everything in his power to keep
Lambert and Jobes from being reap
pointed. In addition to charges against
these men in the Emporia affair he
says he is armed with affidavits from
other sources.
Friday Mr.. Patterson saw the solicit
tor general and Saturday waited upon
the president at the White House. He
wants action, and wants it bad, declar-
ing that if either Lambert or Jobes
are re-appointed he viii make it warm
for them by making public these
charges.
Leland and his party were seen to
emerge from the White House Saturday
morning, but the object of their visit
could not be learned.

STABBED 7 PERSONS.
Harry Williams Then Narrowly
Escaped Lynching.

Chicago, June 24.-After stabbing sew
en- persons Harry williams. colored,
barely escaped lynching last night at
the hands Of an angry mob.
The crowd, armed with clubs. canes
and stones, pursued him down Clark
and Van Buren streets until Lieutenant
Cudmore and Sergeant Flynn of the
Central detail police appeared The Of
fcers grappled with the negro, who
tried to stab Cudmore in the arm.
Just as they had wrenched the knife
from him the mob of pursuers reached
the scene. Several rushed forward and
attempted to take the negro from the
officers, but upon the arrival of the pa
troll wagon dispersed. The trouble was
caused by a stabbing affair in which
Williams had acted as principal. A
man who gave his name as Harry
Thomas accidentally ran against the
negro. A quarrel followed; then Will
liams drew his knife. stabbed Thomas
five times. Branishing his knife, he
ran down the street, stabbing six other
persons who tried to Stop him.
Thomas was removed to the hospital
where it was thought that he would re-
cover.
