JUDGE BLAND'S PLACE.
Likely That Governor Will
Name q Successor.

A delegation consisting of s. H. Kel-
sey, C. D. Walker and B. f. Hudson
came over from Atchison today to in
terview Governor Stanley regarding the
appointment of a successor for Judge
Bland in the Second judicial district.
Governor Stanley had not yet received
Judge BIand's resignation, and he could
therefore take no action in the matter
Mr. Kelsey is chairman of the Repub-
lican county central committee of Atch-
ison county, and Mr.. Hudson is can
didate to succeed Judge Bland. Mr.. KEEL
sey does not believe it will be possible
to call special election to fill the va
cancy, and if not the man appointed
by Governor Stanley will hold the place
for two years.
According to the Australian ballot
law, special election cannot be called
until there is a vacancy, said Mr.. KEEL
sey today. Judge Bland's resignation
will not be effective until October 1, SO
there will be no vacancy until that time.
Then the sheriff will have to issue his
proclamation calling special election,
we will have to officially call primaries
to elect delega tes to a judicial conven-
tlon. the convention will have to be held,
all according to law, and the nomina-
tions will have to be certified to the sec
retary Of state al least thirty days be-
fore the election, in order to go on the
official ballot. October will be the
limit for filing the nomination with the
secretary of state, so that leaves only
four days in which to do all that work.
September if he wanted a special cleo
tion held this fall
'.As 1t is I don't believe there is suffi-
cient time to hold a convention and get
the nominations on the official ballot. If
this is not accomplished there will still
be vacancy to be filled and the COVER
nor will have to appoint some one to
fill it.
I have no doubt but what the Re-
publicans can elect their nominee if we
should elect a judge this fall. Bland is
| the only Democrat whom people would
4, want on the bench. There are two Re-
publicans talked of for the vacancy, H.
! M. Jackson and Judge Hudson here, who
has come over to see the governor
f, Concerning the contest between Bale
Waggener and Captain John Seaton for
/ the legislature, Mr.. Kelsey said:
4 suppose we will have a pretty stiff
| fight during the last two weeks of the
| campaign. Waggener has a majority
| of about 400 against him. but he can
!, put up pretty good campaign Seaton
! has never had anyone running against
him, SO we don't know how he win rur
| against Waggener.''

THE SCHOONER GRAHAM
VESSEL BURNED TO WATERS
 EDGE OFF CAPE MAY.
The Crew, Composed of Capt F. H. Medley and Five Seamen, Pick ed up by the Schooner
 Clifford

New York, Feb 11-The schooner which was burned to the xater's edge off point north of Cape May last night was the Mary Graham, from Norfolk to New York, and the crew is safe having reach ed here late this after 1oon. They were picked up by the schooner J. c. Clifford. Captain F. H. Medley and five seamen composed the crew of the Graham. She was a two-master, which left Norfolk, Va, three weeks ago. yesterday with 1S7, GOO feet of pine lumber. consigned to a New York firm.
 About 5:3O o'clock last Saturday morn ing the schooner was caught in the ice which was coming out of the Delaware River. In the h. avy seas both masts went by the board and carried away the only boat. This left the crew helpless Despite all efforts at the pumps and tightening cargo, the schooner was set- ting rapidly when the J. C. Clifford at o'clock yesterday morning, lay to about 100 yards from the Graham and sent a boat with a mate and three sailors to rescue the crew. Seeing that there was no chance of saving the vessel, Captain Medley set fire to it. The Graham was l96 tons and was owned by the Green leafs-Johnson Lumber Company of Berk- ley, near Norfolk, Va.

NEW RECORDS MADE
New York Life Insurance Company's Open Business Methods Bring
 Their Own Reward.

New York Feb. n.-Fifty-three million dollars of new insurance policies In the first six weeks of the year Is the aston ishing high-wa record announced by one of the foremost life insurance com panies. The announcement is made to- day on the occasion of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the election of Hon. John A. Mccall to the Presidency of the New York Life Insurance Com pany.
 Insurance men and fnanciers admit tions of the general prosperity of the country that has been presented since the dawn of the new year.
 President Mccall is being showered with telegrams and letters of congratu- lations from officials and agents of the New York Life all over the land. In his report made at the beginning of the year. MT Mccall foreshadowed the era of in- surance now prevalent He insured that the old style of management of which was disposed to bubble over the settle ment of the claims, and which denied the right of the insured to loans and surren- der values on demand. must give way to more liberal ideas: and also that an open record of transactions of the year should be furnished annually to the insured. It was hardly anticipated, however, that the response would be so spontaneous or of such dimensions
 Fifty-three million dollars, or more new business than many of the larger com panies have hitherto been able to write in the course of twelve months. Should the present rate of new insurance keep up for the year. the New York Life will secure $30, 900 900 in new paid for policies; a figure so far in advance of anything hitherto achieved that there is no op- portunity for comparison. adv.

RFDEEMING A STATE.
American Scheme More Gigantic
 Than the Zuyder Zee Project.

Philadelphia Record.
 The proposed drainage of the Zuyder Zee which has been under discussion for the past century. is popularly looked upon as an engineering problem in land reclamation without a parallel in con- te nporArv history. The land that would be reclaimed by this work would pc about 750 square miles.
 In comparison The Engineering News refers to a work In this direction now being carried out along the Mississippi which will reclaim tract of land S.ooo square miles in extent The work or reclaiming the St. Francis basin, which lies on the west bank of the Mississippi. between New Madrid, in Missouri. and Helena. in Arkansas, Is already well un. der way, only few additional miles or leyees being necessary to compiete tne artificial banks which are to hold in check the flood waters of the Mississippi. The soil is an alluvial deposit. and, there. fore remarkably fertile and capable or the highest cultivation.
 A comparison of the extent of the St. Francis basin with the combined areas of Rhode Island and Delaware gives good idea of its magnitude. All of this area was recently overfio we'd by the waters of the Mississippi. With the ex- ception of a few gaps there nas neen constructed in this work a continuous line of levees some PIP miles In length. The work has been done under the super vision of the St. Francis levee boards of Missouri and Arkansas. acting in con Junction with the United States Govern ment. The expenditures of the two boards together to date amount to about Sl 5OO 600. while the Government has ex- pended about $75O,OOO additional. Already the reclaimed land has appreciated ih value many times its original valuation. and Is now held at s6O an acre. Rail- roads now intersect the reclaimed area in several directions, numerous indus trial establishments have been built. the population has been doubled. and gem eral prosperity has appeared where orig inaily there were only waste swamps. ;.
 It Is, however. not only in the extent or the undertaking that the St. Francis basin reclamation is notable. but in the very low cost at which it has been ac- complished. The work of reclaimins about 2,5o0 square miles of the Nile Val ley. in Egypt is now being carried ouI by the building of dams at Assouan and Assiont @. T estimated cost of s25.. GOO GOO y. the entire reclamation or the $500 re miles of the St. Francis bason will not cost more than $5ooO; GOO all told. or only sl.4SO per nquare miie, compared with s1O,OoO in the Egyptian re- clamaucn.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Some body has stolen Mozart's skull.
 This ghoulish theft has just been dscov- cred in Salzbu-g and the German p,e ess is making big fuss about it.
 Who could be guilty of this latest piece of vandalism Is the all-a bsorbing question in the continental musical world.
