The politicians who went from To-
peka to attend the Crawford county con-
ventiOn have been stringing in today.
TFey say that the statement in the
State Journals dispatch yesterday was
Approximately correct as to the standing
of the delegation on governor. To start
with it is probable that all the candi-
dates viii have one. two or three dele
gates, but Bailey viii have the big end
of them But on the final showdown it
is predicted that Bailey viii have at
least Is and probably 20 of the q. and
perhaps even more than that. Camp
bell selected the delegates by townships
in order to have them distributed even
ly over the county
The principal thing which Crawford
county proposes to fight for is the nom
ination of Campbell for congressman
from the Third district Crawford
county has never had the congressional
nominee, and the Republicans OF that
county believe there is a good chance
this year to land it for Campbell.
The convention yesterday instructed
for Seth Wells for state auditor and
for Judge Pollock for one of the long
terms on the supreme bench No in
structions were given on attorney gen
eral, but it is stated that the delega-
ton viii be solid for Judge West who
is well acquainted throughout that sec
tion of the state.

$4,000 a year, has been boosted into an

much. Before the announcer ent of the
death of William Mckinley Osborne, the
consul general in London, President
Roosevelt had decided that Evans
should be offered the place.
The office of consul general at Lon
don carries with it the largest conpen-
sation given any official of the United
States government, with the one excep
ton of president. First class ambassa-
dorships pay $17 500, while Mr.. Evans

sum of about $50 coo The salary is S.

ton up to 10000. For a great many
years, until quite recently, the salary
and fees of the Office amounted TO be-
tween $50,000 and $50, 600.
Senator Burton of Kansas has been
the only senator who has committed
himself against the confirna ton of Ev-
ans. Before leaving for Kansas on a
recent visit he declared that if the G. A.
r. posts of his state asked hin to op-
pose Evans he would do so.

the territory in half.
Since leaving college Hiram Gable has
been under the tutelage of his father IN
railroad work. AT that time Mr.. Gable.
ST., was president of the Rock Island.
His son was troubled consfdera bly, by
poor health and decided to go TO Color
ado where construction work was in
progress on the lines OF the Rock Island.
He was made tine-keeper and spent
several years in ''rOughing it, in Col
oradO. He was afterWard connected
with the Rock Island system and after
wards was made vice president and
general manager of his fathers road.
the Rock Island and Peoria, which posi-
ton he has held for the past five years.
Mr. Gable was general manager of the
Pixies Peak cog road for several years
shortly after its construction.
He Will have an excellent opportunity
here to show his abilities in the line of
the operating department. 1t is said
that during his whole life he has shown
an aptitude for railway work and his
many friends are sanguine of his sue
cess here
1t is understood that in the inaugu-
ration Of the new policy of the manage
ment Of the operating department ad
ded authority to act without first con
sulting Chicago officials win be con-
ferred upon the passenger and freight
officials here.
The officers of the Rock Island who
have been located at Topeka have been
hampered in the past to a great degree
by lack of authority. Important ques-
tions that should and could be settled
by the officials here without the need Of
consultations and correspondence which
require a waste of time are constantly
arising. Also the business has grown
in the west during the past two years
beyond all expectations Consequently
it is imperative that the officers here be
vested with more authority, and in the
development of the plans that are
brought about by the recent acduisi-
tions and extensions of the road. it is
said these details are to be attended to.

all others quarantined as fast as any
symptoms of the disease appear.
There are 1S6 boys in the school, be-

Carried Cattle los Hours With
out Food or Water.

Chicago, May Judgment for 500
has been awarded against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company
in the United States circuit court here
on proof by the government that the
road had carried cattle for 1O8 hours
without food or water.
The law requires that no railroad COM
pany shall carry cattle longer than %
hours without rest, food and drink and
that if the journey is longer than %
hours, the cattle shall be cared for every
five hours thereafter. The action in this
case grew out of the shipment of ex-
port cattle from Kansas City, Kan. to
WatertoWn Mass.
As this was a first offense proved
against the company the minimum fine
was imposed. A similar case is pending
against the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa
railway.
