JUBILEE talk
Hutchinson Already Preparing For 3
Big Time.

Hutchinson, Aug. 31.-They have al
ready commenced to talk jubilee in
Hutchinson. At meeting of the back
ers OF the enterprise held night before
last the executive committee which will
have charge of the jubilee for 1902 was
named. A meeting Of this committee
viii be held in the near future for the
purpose of electing officers and making
other arran gements for next years
musical festival. Hutchinson viii try
hard to make the affair a success, al
though it will no doubt be harder than
ever before.
In order to secure a larger attendance
on the part of mixed choruses, it is
probable that large prizes will be Of
fered. This feature Of the jubilee has
been very weak. of late years, very few
choruses electing to enter the contest
It is thought that larger prizes may
encourage more choruses to take part
Although the Hutchinson musical fes-
tiva1 has deteriorated very perceptibly
at least in point of attendance, the
Hutchinson business men who act as
promoters of the affair are deserving Of
credit for having maintained it as an
institution as long as they have. These.
jubilees have proved failures in most
Kansas towns where they have been
tried. This year there was a handsome
sum left in the Hutchinson commit
tees treasury, and this win be used to
start the work next June.

l, the acting secretary of the interior
has rendered a decision refusing to or

upon which the contest was founded
were substantially that Woods entry

the south line of the town of I.awton,
and that entry embraces a tract of a
mile long and only a quarter Of a mile
wide and was so taken for speculative

SCHLEY DISSATISFIED.
Doesn't Like the Tone of Ad-
miral HoWison's Letter.

Washington, Aug.3 1-The correspond
ence between Admiral Howison and the
department, was sent to Admiral
SchIey, who discussed it with his coun-
sci. The following announcement was
made:
Admiral schley's counsel is entirely
dissatisfied with the position of Ad-
miral Howison as disclosed in his letter
to Acting Secretary Hackett, made
public yesterday"
The lawyers hold that it is not a
comprehensive denial of the statements
attributed to Admiral Howison. nor,
they say. does it disclose sufficiently
the admirals freedom from bias. It is
probable that they viii set forth these
objections in a letter to the acting Sec

Steve Osborn Wfthdraws From
Race For Judge.
Says He Has Never Been an Ac-

HE is FOR MOHLER.

Items Of Interest From All
Over the State.

Salina, Aug 31.-Judge S. J. Osborn
is not a candidate for the appointment
to the judgeship of the Thirtieth judi
cial district He has never been an
aggressive candidate, for he has never
filed an application for the place; yet
he has been talked of for the place and
has even talked of being a candidate.
Now the judge has decided not to be q
candidate, leaving the racs a Mohler
and Thompson contest.
The rumor that Osborn would not
be a candidate mas been current several
days, but his final conclusions were
not reached until more recently Judge
Osborn was interviewed by a reporter
this morning and he gave it out that
he would probably not be a candi-
date for the judgeship-
When asked il it was a fact that he
had withdrawn, Judge Osborn said.
II never was a real candidate for the
judgeship although I had thought of
making an application for the place.
All 1 nave to say is, that l viii prob
ably never file my application"
Judge Osborn has various reason for
not being a candidate the substance of
which is that there is no show for the
appointment of a Saline county man.
II did not believe" said Osborn, that
there was any show for an appoint
ment from here with two candidates in
the field, and probably not with one
for I think Thompson viii be appoint
ed. As Mohler would not withdraw I
did So"
viii your forces support Mohler?'
was asked.
Il am not prepared to say what the
other fellows viii do replied Osborn,
but as far as am concerned, would
support any attorney in the district, as
a candidate against Thompson"
Further than this Mr.. Osborn would
not commit himself, in regard to his
support Of Mohler. but as he is "agin''
the present incumbent, it is probable
that he will As far as the local sup
port to himself is concerned. Judge Os-
born had nothing to say. beyond that
some Of them might have done better.
The statement is given out by Bfoh-
ler's friends that Osborn will fall into
his ranks and push his candidacy.

TO FIND a SIGNAL BUREAU.
Thought He Would Run Onto One in

Pfttsburg, Aug. SIT will give $500
for proof of any crooked work by the

a mean advantage Of visiting teams, 4
said Fred Clarke, the PIttsburg man
ager, to Jack Harper. the St Louis
pitcher. during yesterdays game at
Exposition park. This offer of a re
ward was caused by the action Of
Emmett Heidrick, the St Louis center
fielder. The Pittsburgs had been touch
ing up Harper rather freely. and when
Emmett saw something hutter on the
center field fence he became suspicious.
Then in practice, before one Of the in
nings began. he got a fellow player to
send the ball over his head into center
field. The Brookville boy emulated
Tommy COrcoran's example Of last
year and began investigating. The
only thing he could find was a small
stick and a piece of white cloth on the
fence. This did not look much like a
buzzer or part of a signal bureau but
the Cardinals were stil in doubt
Therefore Willie Sudhoff. the pitcher,
was sent out Of the park and began
investiga ting from the circus ground In
the adjoining lot. But he could find
nothing The local baseball officials
claimed the suspicious were groundless.
