STANLEY SPEAKS.
Says He Has Had No Quarrel
With Albaugh.
Hasn't Removed Grain Inspect
ors, Friends of AIbaugh.

An effort is being made to have It
appear that Governor Stanley and his
captain, Morton Albaugh, have fallen
out It is claimed among other things
that Governor Stanley ordered the dis
charge Of deputy grain inspectors be-
cause he knew. they were friends of
Albaugh.
There has been shake-up in the
grain inspection department caused by
Auditor Cole demanding that the num-
Der of inspectors be reduced to make
the feeS collected ample to pay them.
Governor Stanley took up the matter
and asked Inspector Northup to re-
duee his force. The discharge of
Nykirlxs of Junction City, and Lowe, of
Kingnan, followed, and it was claimed
that Governor Stanley was responsible
for their removal because they were
friendly to Albaugh. Lowe had been
named at his request
Governor Stanley said today: when
Mr. Cole told me that the grain fnspec-
ton department was carrying more
men on the payroll than the receipts
of the department would stand, I noti-
fed Mr.. Northup to send me a list of
the men he could spare and l would
revoke their commissions When /
told him that / had no particular man
in mind, and If Mr.. Lowe, of Kingman,
is to go it is Mr.. Northup's recommen-
dalton, not mine.
If he is to go 1t certainly IS not be-
cause he is a friend of Morton Albaugh
for there is no man in the state whom
would more like to favor than he.
Albaugh and I are friends, and 1T win
take more than a little deputy grain
inspector to come between us.
Il will only add that when I told
Mr.. Northup to get rid of some of his
men I had not the remotest hint of the
men he intended to select, and / gave
no suggestion-not even a hint. North
up is the head of the department. and
can only act upon his recommends

FREE FROM SMALLPOX.
There Are No Cases in Topeka
Now.

There is no smallpox in town. and on
~ one case of other contagious dis
eases. This one case IS scarlet fever,
which exists over in the east part of
town.
It has been over two years since To-
peka was as free from contagious dis
eases as it is at this time. Only once
since the smallpox began to have its
run, in mediately following the Spanish
war, has the town been entirely free
from cases of that disease Then It was
only free for one day, a new case being
reported at the expiration of that time.
It is likely that when cold weather
sets in. there viii be more cases of
smallpox develop. but at the present
time the condition of things does not
seem to justify the assertion of the
board of health that the sanitary con
dition of Topeka is at a very low point
and very conducive to pesti1ence.
