SANTA FE SELLS.
As Miles of Track in Mexico Goes to
Southern Pacific

Phoenix, Ariz, July pa special to the
Republican from Bisbee, Ariz., announces
the sale of the forty-five miles of the San
ia Fe railroad to the Southern Pacific
company. The price is not announced.
The road runs from Naco, on the border,
to La Cananeas.
The local officials of the Santa Fe know
nothing about this sale, it being beyond
the jurisdiction of the general manager
and general superintendent. It is appar-
emily an isolated piece of track owned by
the Santa Fe, connecting only with the
Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe official
maps do not show the line as part of the
Santa Fe system.
The town of Naco is on the Mexican
line, and Cananeas is As miles in the in
terror of that country.

NONE BUT ROOSEVELT.
Foraker Says No Other Thought
of For l 9O4 Ticket.

Cincinnati, O., July Ex-senator Foraker,
in the course of an interview today was
asked:
Are you correctly quoted as to the Re
publican candidate of 1904, namely, that
nobody is seriously thought of except
President Roosevelt ?''
Yes. the statement published is correct,
and the fact is there stated. Roose-
welt is the only man who is seriously
thought of by the great masses of people.
There are few flickering flames that
some ambitious partisans are trying to
fan into a blaze, but they cannot make
them burn steadily and they will all go
out in due time, extinguished by the fire
damp of American politics.

Governor Stanley Withdraws All
Executive Rewards.
Puts q Time Limit On All He
Makes.
MANY STILL IN FORCE.
To Save State Future Trouble
All Are Revoked.
Appropriation of $4,000 An
nually For Rewards.

Governor Stanley today issued proc
1amation withdrawing all rewards here
tOfOre offered by any of his predecessors
in the gubernatorial chair.
The reason for this action is the fact
that he has been called upon to pay d
reward offered by Governor Leedy more
than four years ago for the apprehen-
sion of Jam es Dalton who assaulted an
officer and broke Jail in company with
two other prisoners at Marysville, Mar
shall county, on the night of April 8.
1898
Governor Stanley thinks that the re-
ward should be offered for the purpose
of catching the criminal and not to re-
ward officers who find themselves in
possession of a criminal on whose head
they find a reward after they get him
into custody.
It has been the custom of all previous
governors Of Kansas to offer a standing
reward with no time limit attached.
Governor Stanley has adopted the plaif
of making the rewards good for 80 days
or six months and no longer, SO as to
bring speedy results. Then, if the fu-
gitive is not captured but after several
years some officer may apprehend him
for some other crime and discover that
a reward was at one time offered for
him in Kansas, the officer cannot cone
in and claim the reward as has just
been done in the Dalton case, in which
the reward was claimed by Texas Of
ficers.
There have been outstanding many
rewards Tor IugluVeS VINO nave never
been apprehended- How much these re-
wards aggregate no one knows, but to
head off the necessity of the state ever
having to accidentally pay them, Gov
ernor Stanley has issued the following:
Whereas, 1t appears that rewards
without limitation as to the time of
arrest have been offered by my pre-
decessors for the arrest of certain per
sons charged with offenses in the state
of Kansas:
Nov, therefore, notice is hereby
given that all rewards heretofore Offer
ed by my predecessors are hereby with
drawn
The legislature appropriates only
$4,000 for rewards for two years. If any
Of this amount remains over at the end
of the time for which it is appropriated
it is turned back into the state treas
ury. If three or four criminals for
whom rewards have been outstanding
for years should have been apprehend-
ed in single tern it might have bank
rupted the reward fund.
The reward in the Dalton case,
amounting to 5000, was paid to c. B.
Andrews on affidavit of the sheriff and
county clerk of Marshall county, who
attributed the apprehension of Dalton
| to Andrews. Dalton was captured at
San Antonio. Texas.
