SENATOR BURTON IN ST. LOUIS
En- Route to Kansas After Visit at
Washington.

Senator ]. Ralph Burton of Kansas spent
last night in the city. en- route home from
Washington. where he has been to urge the
claims of some of his friends to President
Roosevelt Mr.. Burton. who stopped at TN,
Terminal Hotel, declined to be interviewed
regarding his Impressions OF his visit at
the capital. Last nights dispatches an
nounced that President Roosevelt had ap-
pointed John s. Dean of Marion United
States Attorney for Kansas. Burton's can
didate was b. II. Tracy, at present Assist
ant Attorney General OF the State.
Burton's election to the senate was her
aided as defeat for United States Pension
Agent Cyrus Leland, for twenty years the
king bee of Kansas Republicanism. Bur-
ton at once set out to secure LeIands scalp,
but President Mckinley gave him little en-
couragement. Burton headed the Kansas
delegation to the last national convention
at Philadelphia and claimed that to this
delegation more than to any other was due
credit for forcing Roosevelt to accept the
nomination for Vice President
When Roosevelt succeeded to the presi-
dency Senator Burton believed he had
every bit of Kansas patronage cinched and
that he would soon force Leland out of Of
fee. The fight over the United States at
torneyship has been considered a test case
Leland had no candidate for the office, but
Lean, who was named. was only Burton's
second choice. His trip to Washington was
made in the interests Of Tracy. who RoosD.
welt early said would not do.

Much social excitement is prevalent in
Webster and I<irkwood- There IS vio-
lent epidemic OF engagements following the
summer campaign.

days. Indeed, she has practically been lost
sight of-swamped, as it were. in a flood of
betrothals poured down the town By
her more enterprising sisters.
One distinctive feature about the engage
ment epidemic is that it is all result of
"home-wooing." Every girl is engaged to
a man from her own town, or else from the
adjoining city of st. Louis. And thus sub
urban girls, notably attractive. will not
be lost entirely from the citys coming
son of gayety.
Miss Katherine Siddy has only the last
week been telling her intimate friends that
she is engaged to Mr.. Charles Hatch of St.

who has been most assiduous in his devo-
tons this summer. Miss Siddy is one of tho
most popular girls of the suburbs. and her
friends enthusiastic In their wishes for

that time that, unless action was taken

installation would not make competition
