WARE is HERE.
Commissioner of Pensions in To-
peka on Visit
To Arrange His Business Affairs
Hurriedly Left.
NOT GOING TO WICHITA
Glad to Get Home Where He
Can Sleep.
Is Not Talking but Preserving
Features of Sphinx.

E F. Ware, Comm issionerf of Pen
sions, arrived in Topeka at noon today
on a short business trip home.
When he left for Washington he did
not know that he would at once assume
the duties of the office He is home for
a week to put some of his business af-
fairs in shape. He says the dispatches
from Washington saying that he will go
to the Republican stats convention at
Wichita are wrong; that he has no in
tentiOn of going to Wichita, but intends
to remain in Topeka till he returns to
Washington.
He says he has given no interviews to
newspapers; that he contemplates or
ganizing the Society OF the Order of the
Sphinx.
AS he stepped from the Pullman car
at the Santa Fe depot this morning,
dress suit case in hand, he threw back
his shoulders in the true military style
50 peculiar to himself, and freely filed
his lungs again with fresh Kansas air.
He was dressed in a light colored suit
and wore a broad brimm ed hat; same
costume he left in except his collar was
soiled and he had discarded the white
and black neckwear for q plain black
string tie.
Well I certainly am glad to get
back here again, where I can sleep" "
were his first words to a reporter for
the State Journal who approached him
been so busy while in the east that I
have hardly had time to Sleep he
then explained in answer TO look Of
inquiry.
Yes he said, II have already taken
charge of the office Of pension commits
sioner. When I went east I thought
that was not to take charge of the
Office until about the first of September,
but the changes were brought about
faster than I had expected. Soon after
arriving in Washington, I was asked
to dinner by President Roosevelt and
at that time he urged me to take the
Office Immediately. After giving the
matter some thought decided to do as
requested. The remainder of the time
which I have been in w ashingtOn has
been devoted to familiarizing himself
with the duties and details of the work.
I will spend the coming week in To-
peka closing up my business affairs
here and Will return to Washington i'm
mediately. I have arranged to move my
family there also. I have not had time.
however, to select a residence I Will
have to attend to that after 1 return.
THE Wichita convention: Yes, I
would personally like to attend that
meeting and see the boys, but I have
decided not to do so. It would certainly
not look well for so recent an appointee
of President Roosevelt to show such a
perniciOus activity in the affairs of
politics. It might be said that I was
acting under orders from the president.
However, am looking for the con-
vention to declare for President Roose-
welt, reciprocity and all the Republican
principles"

IT'S ALL OVER.
All Within Range of Mont Pc
lee Are Dead or Gone.

Castries. Island of St Lucia, Sunday,
May 25.-St. Pierre, Martinique is no
longer of interest, except to the scientists.
Mont Pelee is still active but all within
its range are dead or have fled Fort de
France is Quieter. after the large exodus
of its inha bitants to neighboring colonies.
The Martinique sufferers have sufficient
food for the present.
The st. Vincent volcano La Soufriere is
less active. The total loss of life as
result of it's eruption is finally placed at
LOO, about the original estimate. The
wounded and burned number 500. Many
of those in the hospital can not recover.
More than 1000 persons are destitute
They are receiving adequate relief. The
material damage done in St Vincent is
principally to The plantations. Many of
the sugar works may be restored. Sugar
hogsheads are being dug out of the lava
and ash heaps.
The lava stream passed behind George
town. which, with Chateau Belair. was
uninjured.

fees are numerous and 1t IS impossible
to estimate their strength, so much de-
pends on the location of the head of the
ticket and of the places that came
first"
Since Mr.. Morgan's statement was
printed Wilson county has elected a
Bailey delegation with instructions. This
would add II to Mr.. Bailey's figures, ac-
eording to Mr.. Morgan giving him 555
votes.
Following is the Wilson county in
struction:
we recognize in w. J. Bailey of Ne
naha county a broad, clean and able
citizen, a vigorous and popular exponent
of Republican principles, and the dele
gates to be elected to the state cOnven-
ton, to be held at Wichita on May %.
are instructed to vote for the nOmina-
ton of Mr.. Bailey for governor of Kan
sas, and heartily support his interests
in the temporary organization Of the
state convention.
I'VE endorse the candidacy for audi
tor of the state of our neighbOr and
fellow citizen, Seth G. Wells, of Neosho
county, and the delegates elected to the
state convention are instructed to give
him their active support"
The following are the delegates to the
state convention: John s. Gilmore, S.
s. Kirkpatrick, c. NJ. Cantran, Wiley
johnson, James Mundell, S. G. Moffat,
J. +. Gunby, S. S. Benedict, T. Blakes-
", r. M Jones, F. W. Badger. NJ. Skid

A. Bauman. Grant Tuttle, E. V. Langon.
It is conceded that Troutman will be
the second man on the first ballot and
D. w. MulYane and his other friends
say that they viii be able to prevent the
nomination of Bailey and thus open the
way to Troutman's nomination early in
the convention. The friends of Mr..
Troutman are not giving out any fig
ures.
Another interesting fight in the CON
Ventlon viii be that for state treasurer.
The friends of Thomas T. Kelly will
make heroic fight to force him upon
the convention Notwithstanding the
ugly facts which have been brought out
concerning his embezzlement of funds
county. Ihey have taken W. J. Stagg
from Topeka to prove thatKelly's books
were all right when he examined them
as an expert.
The anu-Keliy sentiment has been
growing continuously since the Miami
commissioners who had been his sup
pOrters made their report. Even the
personal friends Of Mr.. Kelly realize
that it would be a great mistake to
weight the ticket down with the name
of a man who had been false to one
public trust, especially when it is pro-
posed to place him in the most response
BILE position in the state. to have charge
of the state funds.
Senator J. r. Burton appears to be
more anxious for Kelly's nomination
than anything else. He spent part of
what little time he had in Topeka in
urging his personal friends to go to
Wichita and do all they could for Mr..
Kelly. 1t appears that he has more in
terest in the nomination OF Kelly than
in the defeat of Mr.. Bailey though 1t is
known that he is doing all he can to
prevent Mr.. Bailey's nomination.

Short OF HAM.
Chicago Hotels Feel Effect Of
the Transfers Strike.

Chicago. May 26.-The first effects of the
strike of teamsters at the stockyards was
felt today. One of the largest hotels was
short on ham. bacon and eggs at break
fast and several other hotels are said to
have felt the absence Of particular cuts
of meats. The representatives of the
teamsters' union say that unless their
demands for better wages were met it
would be extremely difficult to get meat
in Chicago. One retail house, which sup
plies several of the larger hotels, had to
use its own wagons in getting supplies
from the packers at the yards.
Armour & Company sent their o'clock
loads out with new drivers. but were short
five loads. Swift & Company took men
from the superintendent office to handle
the teams. Nelson Morris & Company
adopted a similar method. The packers
have asked for police protection The
small butchers who buy their supplies
from day to day were. the chief sufferers
today, as the larger firms are generally
supplied with a five-day stock.
Twenty-Five girls employed by one pack
ing concern refused to ride in a bus driven
by non-union man They climbed into
the vehicle. but when they learned that
the regular driver mad joined the strikers
they refused TO ride and walked the dis
fance.

/CURTIS ANNOUNCES 1T.
Makes Formal Statement About Sen
atorial Candidacy.

Congressman Charles Curtis has formal
ly announced himself as a candidate for
senator from Kansas to succeed Senator
". A. Harris, whose term will expire next
year.
Mr.. Curtis announcement is as follows:
81 believe my ten years service in the
house qualities me to look after the in
terests of the people of Kansas at the
other end of the capitol When it is re-
nembered that for the last seven years
my position on committees has enabled
me to be named as a conferee on one or
more important acts each session and that
I have been a member of a number of
subcommittee which have held Joint
meetings with similar committees of the
senate, it will be readily understood how
my experience would be of value to me
and to the people of Kansas.
For ten years ! have tried to do my
full duty to the people and would now
like to represent our great thriving and
patriotic state in the senate.
Il hope my friends in Kansas will con-
tinue their interest in my behalf and do
what may be possible to nominate Repub-
ican candidates Tor the legislature who

st. Louis Physician Leaves
Clothes on River Bank.

St. Louis, No, May 26.-After writing
to a brother in London. England, to
cease sending him money. DR.. Edward
L. Thurman disappeared Sunday, leav-
ing his coat and hat on the river bank.
The coat contained a check for $140 a
gold watch and two letters
Relatives of the missing man are in
doubt whether he committed suicide,
was thrown into the river by robbers,
or left the city after placing his coat
and hat by the river to suggest drown
ing
Lack of immediate success in his
chosen profession had discouraged the
young physician and he had for sew
eral weeks past been seeking employ
ment.
