WINTER WHEAT Is o. X
Secretary COburn Says 1t is All Can
Be Desired

Topeka, Feb. 9. Notwithstanding
the months of dry weather 10 the fall
and early winter and the reports from
some sections of Kansas that the wheat
has been seriously injured by the cold
weather in December and the dry
weather combined, present reports
from all over the wheat belt indicate
that the wheat generally is in first
class condition, and there is every
prospect at present for great crop
the coming year.
Three weeks ago the wheat growers
we're badly frightened. There had
been little moisture on their fields
since October, and the ground was ex-
ceedingly dry. During December, too
the mercury went down to 10 degrees
below zero, and there were frequent
reports from people inclined to be
pessimistic that much of the wheat was
'winter killed"
But cold weather alone does not in
jure wheat If the roots of the plant are
we'll covered with dirt. The fact that
there was little high wind early in the
winter had much to do with saving the
wheat from serious damage. When
the ground is dry high wind soon
blows the dirt away from the wheat
roots and leaves them exposed to the
air. Then, if cold snap follows,
considerable damage is likely to re-
suit.
This year, however, there was no
wind and the wheat has been well pro-
tected During the latter part of
January the snow began falling, and
now there is a good blanket of snow
all over the wheat belt This is max
ing the wheat growers smile AS long
as the snow covers the wheat there is
no danger of the cold weather killing
it, and the snow is now so deep that it
will probably stay on the fields until
danger of zero weather Is past. When
it thaws it will soak slowly into the
ground and pack the dirt firmly
around the wheat roots, so that the
March winds will not blow it away.

SENATORS TO SUCCEED
BY Proposed Amendment to the
Constitution.

Washington, Feb. 7.--Representa-
tive Jenkins of Wisconsin, a ma ajority
member of the judiciary committee,
has proposed an amendment to the
constitution providing that Senators
shall succeed to the presidency in
stead of members of the cabinet.
The only reference to the matter in
the constitution is in this language:
SIN case of the removal of the Presi-
dent from Office or his death, resigna-
tion or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of his said Office,
the same shall devolve. upon the Vice
| President
Mr.. Jenkins contends THAT the most
important feature in the matter of
presidential succession is the lack of
authority on the part of Congress to
fill the Office of President in case of the
death or removal of both President
and Vice President, or the death of the
successful candidates for these Offices
just before the determination of the
result of the national election, or after
the determination and before the in
augural.
SIN such case what is going to be
done on the day of the inauguration"
asked Mr.. Jenkins. "It certainly can
not be successfully contended for
moment that the offices whould be
filed from the cabinet of the outgoing
President
"There would be no break in the
government. We would have no head
to the nation, and at present Congress
has no power to declare who, under
such chcircumstances, would be President
and Vice President. While this may be
called "a purely hypothetical case, it
is certainly not improbable that we
might have repetition of the Hayes
Tilden contest, in which the effect
would be important and far-reaching
and should be carefully provided for
even if it will not probably occur"
The Jenkins amendment provides
first, for the manner of electing
President pro tempore of the Senate,
and then provides that such President
pro tempore of the Senate shall sue
ceed in case of vacancy first to the
vice presidency and then to the presi-
dency, upon the vacancy of that Office
by both President and Vice President.

JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM
kansan Run Ont of Country For Abus-
ing Mckinley

Anthony, Kas., Feb. 6. On Septem-
Der Is last young man named Will
lam Grubb, at Freeport, in this coun-
ty said: "I'd as soon vote for a-biacll
dog as Mckinley" In view of the
fact that Mckinley was then lying
dead, the men who heard him were
greatly aroused and two of them ex-
postulated with him, only to be abused
for their pains. The people of that
community then prepared a notice,
which read:
1.-THE person in this township who
made expressions this morning derog-
atory to our late beloved president is
invited to pack his grip and leave this
place at once, as we will tolerate not
one among us who rejoices in the
death of our president by assassina-
tion, or anyone who sympathizes
with anarchists. -
This notice was signed by abou
fifty nen and then served on Grub b,
who needed the warning and left the
country. Recently Grubb brought
suit for $1,000 damages against the
men who signed this paper. He asked
$40, 900 for being run out Of the coun-
try and $40, 200 for libel. The case
has been on trial in the district court
here for the past three days. The jury
today brought in verdict for the de-
PENDANTS.

Paterson, N. j., Feb. GA great
fire swept through Paterson,today and
in its desolate wake are the embers
and ashes valued at 100000
1t burned its way through the busi-
ness section of the city and claimed
as its own a majority of the fine struc-
lures devoted to commercial, civic,
educational and religious use, as we'll
as scores Of houses. Hundreds were
left homeless and thousands without
employment. A relief movement for
the care of those unsheltered and I'M
provided for has already been or
ganized.
The fire came at last midnight and
was only checked after desperate
fight and that lasted until late this af-
ternoon. Every city and town within
reach of Paterson sent fremen aud
apparatus to the relief of the threaten
ed city and it took the united efforts
of them all to win the battle.
A northwest gale gave the confa-
grafton its impetus and carried its
burning brands to kindle the blaze
afresh at other points. The firemen
made stand after stand before the
wall OF fire, but were repeatedly driven
back and when victory finally came to
them they were grimed and exhausted

NOW IT'S SIMPSONS SIDE
Another Chapter Added to. the Schley-
Sampson Controversy
BY Scripps- Nckae Presa Asaociat,nn

Washington, Feb. THE counsel
for Sampson this morningsf filed with
the secretery Of the Navy:a statement
in behalf of Sampson in opposition to
Schley's contention that Schley was
in command at Santiago.
The consideration of this argument,
it is thought, will preclude the pos
sibility of verdict by the president
on Schley's appeal before the presi-
dents departure for Charleston.
SIMPSONS brief contends that the
question of supreme command at the
battle did not enter into the proceed
ings of the court under the specifica-
tiOns.
