THE WEARY BLIGHT
OF SLEEPLESSNESS

STILL WRITING TO BAILEY,
Flood of Letters in Feminine Han d
Continues.

If the letters from eastern maidens
who aspire to become mistress of the
Kansas executive mansion continue to
increase, Governor-elect Bailey will soon
need a private secretary to look after
them, although a majority of men look
after CORES oondence of that character
in person.
But Governor Bailey is an exception
Saturdays mail brought eight letters
alone, to say nothing of those which
must have reached him through other
channels. One man could not do jus
tlce to that many love letters in single
daE.
There is a pathetic side to the anus
ing feature of these letters, and that is
that they are coming to Mr.. Bailey at
time when they cannot help but annoy
him. With his father lowering between
life and death his every thought is to
prolong the latter's life. and to have d
flood of letters of this character pour in
upon him now must be annoying in the
extreme.
The letters which come to Mr. Bailey
at the state house are promptly for
warded to him at his home at Bailey
vile by Governor Stanley's secretary.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Thirty-fiv
thousand textile operators in 300 mills
in this city will make a demand upon
their employers for a reduction of their
hours of labor from 60 to 55 hours a

unions which embrace the entire local
textile trades. After a long discussion
they arrived at unanimous. decision.
1t was said today that the demand will
be submitted to the manufacturers not
later than January 1.
The action of the conference will be
reported to each individual Union by
the delegates at their meetings this
week. Then each union will elect elev
en- delegates who will meet the legisla-
tive and the organization committees of
the Central Textile union. At this
meeting written demands will be pre-
pared and the exact time for submit
ting them to the operators win be de-
cided upon.

GETAWAYS BOND MYSTERY.
Forged One for $1,000 Turns Up in
New York.

A bond against the city of ottawa of
which there is no record has turned W.,
in the lands of lawyers IN New York
city. Where it came from nobody knows,
but the indications are that it must have
been forged at some time during the
past twenty years.
The bond is for 81 900 and DurDorts to
have been issued back in 1881 and was
to run for twenty years. According to
a letter from the New York attorneys
in whese hands it is now for collection.
it is signed by w. r. Gace, mayor, and
William NJ. Butler. city clerk: but Otta-
wa never had any officials by that
na--1e.
The city officials of Ottawa first be-
came aware Of its existence two or three
weeks ago when they received a notif1-
eating stating that it awaited final set
tlement in New York. 1t was stated
that the bond was numbered q, ,752, and
that two of the interest coupons had
been Cancelled. The Ottawa authorities,
of course, knew nothing of it.
The bond is evidently a forgery. but
whether it DurDOrts to have been re-
corded in the state auditors Office is not
known. To be legal every bond in Kan
sas must be recorded in the Office of the
auditor of state and a certificate to that
effect on each bond must be signed by
the state auditor and the seal of the
auditor is affixed in addition to that OF
the municipality issuing the bond.
No such bond was ever recorded by
the StateauditCr at least the bond rec
ords do not show it, and it is a question
if certificate purporting to come from
the state auditor of Kansas was also
forged on the bond.

HIS FUN SPOILED.
The Presidents Hunting Trip

Smedes, Miss. Nov. 17.-Rain which
began falling last night was stll COM
ing down this MOI ming, and the pros
pect for a resumption of the bear hunt
from the camp on the Little Sunfiowel
was not fattering. The rain was noe
q pelting dOwnpour, but a steady old
autumn drizzle which the weather-wise
herea bouts predicted might continue for
several days. The chances are that the
presidents fun is spoiled at least for the
dav.
The manner in which the colonel"
stuck to the trail ~on Saturday long
after the others had abandoned the
chase and returned to camp. carried for
him the most profound respect of Hol,
Collier, who said he was a powerful

start out in such weather. If he is

tent over his head to keep him dry is
more than he has had in the old days
when he was caught in a storm while
after big game in the Rockies. To-
morrow night the party will break
camp. The train will leave here in time
to reach Memphis a $50 Wednesday
morning.
The rain ceased at II o'clock. A ne
gro who came into Smedes this morn
ing from the vicinity of the camp re-
ported that the president despite the
rain, was off shortly after daylight.

Congressman J. NJ. Miller, of Council

NEGRO GUARDS.
The Southerners Take Exception to
Their Guarding President.

Smedes. Miss. Nov 1.-THE employ
ment of negroes to guard the trail of the
presidents hunting camp has aroused
much indignation in Vicksburg, though
conservative citizens recognize the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt himself is not re-
sDonsible for the negro nickets.
The fact that two white citizens of
Vicksburg were turned back near the
camp by four negroes with rifles has
been the principal topic of talk in this
city today.
Prominent citizens are plentiful who
declare that they would not hesitate to
shoot a negro who would dare face them
with a gun, whether in the vicinity of
the presidents camp or not.
The Vicksburg American, enormously
assuming that the president is resD pom
sible for the placing of the negro pickets.
prints an editorial personally attacking
the president, saying:
The jungles of the Mississippi
swamps in that vicinity belong to pri-
vate individuals who have made no re-
strictions thereon.
ANY private citizen has a right to
shoot down an armed guard upon the
least orovocation, and the white people
of this section have cause to be indig-
nant when a negro-loving chief execu-
tive inTolzes the assistance of planta-
tion darkies.
His negroes ought to be eaten by
bears"
This seems fairly to express the Mis-
sissippi opinion regarding the arming
of the negroes as camp guards. though
only 2 few oe the most rabid negro
haters criticise the president personally.
These refer to the Booker Washington
incident in conversation.

SUNDAY IN CAMP.
Bear for Dinner With 'Possum and
Sweet Potatoes.

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 17.-Sunday was
a quiet day a t the presidents camp on
Little Sunhower. There was no hunt
but the president and several members
of the party spent two hours in the
morning rambling over the forest trails
on their horses Dinner was the prin-
cipal event of the day. The menu in
cluded roast bear paws and 'pOSSum and
sweet potatoes. Dinner was served in
camp style on a rough pine board table
set up in the open air Tin plates and
tin cups were used. There were not
enough knives and forks to go around
and the negro cook announced as the
party sat down that, on account of the
scarcity of the articles, he had distrib-
uted only to the colonel as the presi-
dent is invariably called in camp, and
the foreign gentlemen"
The president is enjoying his outing.
He has not had three days of such COM
plete freedom and rest since he entered
the White House. The insurgent news
paper men returned to the assault Sun
day. Having been repulsed on the land
side by Mr.. Mangum' pickets, they re-
solved to try to effect an entrance to
the camp by the water route. A boat
was chartered It Nicksburg and was
reported to have left that place at 8
o'clock in the morning. The route of
the expedition is to be up the Missis
sipp to the mouth of the Yazoo. thence
up the latter river to the Big Sunf1ower.
The distance, owing to the turns and
bends in the river, is more than forty
miles If the party started it did not
reach it's destination. The river men
say there is a sand bar at the mouth of
the YazOo which would stop any craft
drawing more than twelve inches.
The Chicago party, hunting with Bob
Bobo's pack of hounds seventy miles
north of here had better luck than the
presidents party. according to a mes
sage received here. The party last week
bagged eleven deer and four bears.
Holt Collier is aroused and he vows

rest and are in condition to resume the

the negroes that the president was com

one thousand negroes to the station.
They waited until dark before they
would be convinced that the report was
incorrect

COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
This Will Be Busy Time With City
Fathers.

At the council meeting this evening, the
Vinewood Park railway will ask permis-
sion to use all the paving brick it wants
from the paved streets which it is tearing
up.
Among other things, the council will
probably take up the proposed license or
dinance, which the license committee has
had under 'advisement'' for the past five
or six months This ordinance. is not
likely to pass without considerable of
struggle, as the council men are far from
being of one mind about the proper
amount to assess against various things
The bill posting ordinance will also
come up for consideration. AS it now
stands. it allows merchants to distribute
advertising matter in their own interests,
but prohibits other local enterprises from
the enjoyment of the same privilege.
A paving petition for a 30-foot brick
pavement on Harrison street from Hun
toon to Huntington avenue will be filed.
The petition provides that the pavement
must be laid in 1903
