Don't Want to See the Ticket
Weakened.
Too Much of a Load to Carry
Kelly and His Record.

According to the reports from Miami
county, Thomas T Kelly Republican
candidate for state treasurer, will not
get q very large vote in his home
county
kelly's friends have been pointing to
the magnificent endorsement which he
received at the hands of the Republi-
cans OF Miami county 1t is true that
he carried the primaries in the county
by putting forth an extraordinary eff
fort, but that was before the county
commissioners had made a thorough in
vestigation of his records and found
him short 81, ,324.99
Kelly never appears n uch on the
streets of Paola any more" said NJ. w
Wells, Of PaOla yesterday. Wells is a
Popuhst and. of course is not very
friendly to Mr.. Kelly. but he knows
something of the feeling towards Kelly
in Miami county. When Kelly comes
to PaOla he generally goes to the Office
of the Western Spirit, Barney Sheridans s
Democratic paper which has been try
ing to defend him, and transacts his
business from there.
There are hundreds and hundreds of
Republicans in Miami county Who de-
clare they will never vote for Kelly. In
Usage township, which has about $50
Republican votes a paper was started
the other day headed something like
this We, the undersigned, are Re
publican voters and we declare we VIII
not support T. T. Kelly and it received
80 signatures in that one township the
first day
The member of the Republican
county central committee in another
township in which there are about 125
Republican votes told me that he had
pOlled the township and had found
only four Republicans who would vote
for Kelly. l don't know that of my own
personal knowledge, but that is what
this Republican committeeman told me
Kelly will get a very small vote among
the Republicans Of Miami county. The
most Of them viii vote for David Hefle-

sCAPEeoAr FOR KELLY.
Rumored That Ira N. Bryan is to
Shoulder Responsibility.

Paola. Kan, June 26.-It is reported
here today that Thomas T. Kelly and
his friends are preparing to make
scapegoat of Ira N Bryan and saddle
on him the blame for Kelly's defalca-
ton.
Recently. while on a fishing excursion
with some friends, Bryan stated to
them that OVertures had been mace to
him by Kelly that in considerat ton or
his signing an affidavit assuming the
responsibility for Kelly's defalcations
while county clerk of Miami county
Senator Burton would secure for him
Bryan-a commission in the regular
army or q position with the Orient rail
road of which Burton is director
While the party was still in camp, r. NJ
Shelby of PaOla, friend of Kelly,
drove out with a livery rig and hurried
ly brought Bryan to town and took him
1t is currently rumored on the streets
of Paola now that Bryan made this affl-
davit, and some color is given to it by
the fact that Bryan has left town and
that he has gone to stay.
BFyan was the deputy in the county
treasurer's office while Kelly was county
clerk, and when the first finding by the
county board was made on February
Is last, that Kelly had unlawfully drawn
money from the county. it was given out
confidentially by Kelly to a number OF
his friends throughout the state that
Bryan had gone before the county com

duplicating himself in the matter When
this statement of Kellv's reached Bryan.
he was very Indignant and emphatical-
~ denied it, and secured from each
member of the county board a sworn
statement that he had made no such
confession to them or any other state
ment concerning the matter of Kelly s
crimes.
1t matters little to the voters of Kan
sas whether Bryan has or has not made
such affidavit. 1t in nowise relieves
Kelly. The detailed findings of the
county commissioners made on June G
last. in which Kelly is found guilty on
sixteen specific items. aggregating ST.
S24.99. show that every entry covering
these items and that every county war
rant drawn therefor was in the hand
writing of Kelly himself that the treas
urer's checks for the amounts We're
made payable to Kelly. bear zelIy's in
dorsement and that some of them were
traced TO the bank where they were
| placed to Kelly's credit The concluding
statement of the board Of county com
missioners is as follows.
The records upon which these item
lied findings are made are all before
us. None of them are missing. altered
or mutilated Where warrants have
been drawn for a larger amount than
was allowed by the board, or where dup
leate warrants have been made out, the
stubs of these warrants are all in the
handwriting of Thos. T. Kelly"

MAY NEVER BE CROWNED.
No Necessity For Coronation Even IF
the King Recovers.

New York. June 26.-P.aople are ask

the Herald, whether. when his majesty
RECEIVERS sufficiently to bear the fatigues
of the coronation ceremonies, prepara-
tions for it Will be made on so elab-
crate a scale as has just been the case
1t is pointed out that owners of stands
and tradesmen of all descriptions have
been so severely hit by the postpone
ment of the coronation ceren onies that
they will be likely to eVfnce some hesi-
tatiOn in making preparations on a
large scale again There really is not
the slightest necessity for tne king TO
be crowned at all
tit is quite conceivable that his majes-
ty win decide to forego the ceremony.
No definite information can be given
at the moment. but such an abandon

BELIEVES IN ALFALFA.
John Powers, Big Land Man.
ager, Talks About It.

John Powers, who is the farm mana
ger of an estate which has big land in
terests in Marion county and also in
Nuckolls and Gage counties, Nebraska
and in Missouri. is in Topeka today He
IS a firm believer in alfalfa and thinks
that crop is only on the threshold of its
popularity.
i am firmly convinced that alfalfa
is the big crop for Kansas said Mr.
Powers. Il know of a man out in Mar
ion county who has 175 acres in alfalfa.
This last summer he raised 500 bushels
of seed in addition to his hay crop and
he was offered SO a ton for his hay
IN the stack. His receipts from that
field Of alfalfa alone amounted to S12,-
coo. know another man whose profits
from his alfalfa were $73 an acre.
'Of course, this last year hay was
very high and this added to the profits
in alfalfa, but throwing aside these ex-
traordinary prices, in ordinary years al
falfa will yield S25 or 80 an acre, which
is big return.
We are firm believers in alfalfa as a
Kansas crop, and we are introducing it
as fast as possible into our Nebraska
holdings. We already have a large
acreage in Nuckols county. Our super
intendent up there has ordered 100 cop
les of Secretary Coburn's work on al
falfa for the use of tenants.
In addition to yielding a big crop, al
falfa continually enriches the soil Rails
ing alfalfa is like putting money in the
bank to draw on in the future-it adds
to the richness of the soil instead of de-
tracing from it, which is a big item in
ITSELF
Mr.. Powers is a firm friend of Secre-
tary Coburn and cannot say enough
in praise of the secretary of the state
board of agriculture
Kansas farmers do not begin to ap-
preeiate what Mr.. Coburn has done for
them he said. They cannot do it. He
has gathered Information which is of
immense value to farmers everywhere.
and has put it into such shape that it
is of practical benefit to the farmers. -
