GEIGER FILES PAPERS.
Fixes It SO That He May Have Name
on Both Tickets.

Judge A. c. T. Geiger, of Oberlin, who
lost his place on the bench of the Sew
enteeth judicial district by reason of the
biennial election law, but who has been
renominated by the fusionists, today
filed his nomination papers as the NOM
inee of both the Populist and Demo-
cratic parties
He also filed his election of which
ticket he will go on, but he so words it
that he can be placed on both tickets
in case the anti-fusion law is knocked
out by the supreme court. He first cites
the fact that he was nominated by the
Populists on May Is. and then by the
Democrats on June 10, and then con-
tinues:
'Af1iant further, in order that he may
preserve his legal rights, therefore asks
that his name be placed upon the off,
cial ballot on both tickets, Democratic
and Peoples party and further that
in case it shall be determined that his
name can be printed upon but one of
said tickets and that he has no right to
have it printed on both said tickets,
then this affiant designates the Demo-
cratic nomina ton as the nomination he
desires to accept, and elects that his
name be printed on the official ballot
under the heading Democratic ticket "

Cancels Engagements and Re-
turns to Washington.
ABSCESS ON THE KNEE
Physicians Say an Operation Is
Necessary at Once.
After This the President Will
Require Rest.
He Will Not Be in Topeka as
Scheduled.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 23 8 p. NJ
AS a result of the trolley accident al
Pittsfield, Mass, the president received
ssveral serious bruises.
One of these. on the left leg between
the knee and the ankle, has developed
into small abscess. The president is
entirely we'll otherwise and has contin-
ued to meet the several engagements OF
his itinerary, but in view of the con-
tinuousness of the abscess and out of
abundance of caution. DR.. Oliver and
Dr. Cook of Indianapolis were requested
to meet Dr. Lung the presidents sur
geon, at Indianapolis. DR.. Richardson,
of Washington, D. c., being also one of
the number.
In the opinion of the doctors the
trouble necesitates an operation which
they think should be performed at once
at St vincent's hospital in this city.
AS after the operation the president
will require entire rest. probably for at
least ten days or two weeks. it has been
necessary to cancel all the remaining
engagements of his trip and he will go
directly from Indianapolis to Washing
ton this evening.
The physicians say that the case is
not in any way serious and that there
is no danger whatever. This statement
is made that no false rumors may dis
turb the people and that they may be
authoritatively advised of the exact ma
ture of the case.

Secretary to the President.

SOCIALISTS NOMINATE.
Will Have a County Ticket in
the Field.

A Convention was held Monday af-
ternoon at 420 Kansas avenue by the
Socialists of the First congressional
district, and also one of the Socialists of
Shawnee county.
c.. B. Harmonson of Oskaloosa. was
nominated for congress from the First
district, and the following county ticket
was nominated:
Sheriff, r. M. Van Zant; treasurer, j.
p. Johnson: clerk Of the district court.
W. D. Gilpin; county clerk, Frank Cur
ry; county attorney, ]. w. Long; county
superintendent, Mrs. A. J.Rudolph; reg
lister of deeds. Earl Miller: probate
Judge, J. w. Heinecke: coroner. DR..
Eva Harding: surveyor. Bert Jones.
An effort was made by some of the
delegates, three in number. to have the
convention indorse L. A. Stebbins. the
Independent Republican nominee for
county attorney, but this effort proved
futile because the convention was oppos-
ed to having anything to do with any
body except socialists. The Socialist
party is rather particular about mixing
up its ticket on the fusion plan.
o. F. Olmstead was nominated for the
legislature from the Thfrty-eighth dis
trict, ]. H. White from the Thirty ninth
district, and no nomination was made
from the Thirty-seventh-
A. o. Grigsby was chairman of the
congressional convention. and John S

TWO DOLLARS A WEEK.
That Is All Anthracite Strikers
Have to Live On.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 23.-President
Mitchell declined to make any comment
today on the action of Sheriff Shadt of
Lackawanna county in calling on Gov
ernor Stone for troops. 1t is known,
however. that he is dispieased with the
strikers for pursuing a course which
prompted the sheriff to make the ap-
peal to the governor. Only a week ago
Presiden Mitchell counselled all his fol-
lowers to keep the peace. Some of his
advisers say the calling of the militia
to do duty in Lackawanna region will
have no effect on the strike.
National Board Member Fauon thinks
stationing soldiers in Lackawanna coun-
ty may be the means of suppressing
tions, but it will not give the operators
any other advantage. On the other hand
the operators feel confident that the con-
tinued outbreaks of violence means
that the men will gradually return to
work.
Tamaqua, Pa, Sept. 23-Strikers
pickets patrolled the Panther Greek
colliery today in an effort to prevent
non-union men from going to work, but
no violence is reported.
The colleries are working as usual
and the operators report few gains
Those in position to know say that il
q break occurs in the strikers ranks
here 1t will be due to the small amount
of relief being distributed. 1t is claim
ed that 50 week is the largest amount
a married striker can secure in sub

discuss the Issues.

The fusion committees are getting
bold. Since Chairman Albaugh turned
Smith to debate the proposed tax bill

ready to spring any kind OF challenge
and today they issued challenge for
Craddock The challenge is directed to

cur in the month of October, 1902, on the
question of taxation in Kansas: the
time, place. and number of meetings
to be agreed upon by the officers of the
state committees.
I'm view of the numerous newspaper
articles tending to show that Mr. Grad
dock does not care to meet Mr.. Bailey
on the stump and various remarks
from Mr.. Bailey himself tending to con-
vey the impression that he was hunt
ing for meeting with Mr.. Craddock, it
is thought that this challenge will be
eagerly accepted and the meeting or
meetings speedily arranged.

upon this at once and that we may hear

one of the number to be held in Fort

rangements for a very extended series
of debates" said Secretary Raney today,
