APPEARS TO BE QUIET.
TrOutman- Welch Controversy Is
No Longer Exciting.

There is little exciten ent attending
r. B. WEIGH for the Shawnee delegation
to the state convention, and the poll
ticians are looking for a very light vote
at the primaries. At present the con-
test over the craftsmanship of the
county central committee is as of much
interest to the local politicians as the
Troutman- WEIGH controversy.
There will be contest for county
offices, as the indica lions are now, at
the Republican primary except in the
First ward and the country north of
the Kansas river which comprises the
First commissioner district. There S.
H. Haines is asking for a nomination
for his second term, and he is being OPP
posed by j. n. Stewart, and there is
test in the district than any other, and
it is likely that a large vote will be
polled there.
In the. other wards of the city and in
the country south of the river there is
but little interest being taken in the
coming primary. and unless something
happens to stir up the voters it is
likely that very small vote will oe
polled. Many of the politicians think
that TrOutman will carry the country
precincts and that Welch's vote in the
city will be strong enough to make the
contest a close one, with the result in
Welch's favor.
The craftsmanship of the Republican
county central committee has aroused
considerable interest. So far FL. NJ.
Philips George w. Crane and Otis
Hungate have announced themselves as
candidates.

NEW CAPITOL ELEVATOR.
It Will Be in West Wing and Cost
$6.366.

The executive council has let, the con-
tract for the new elevator to be put in
in the west wing of the state house The
contract went to the Otis Elevator COM
pany of Kansas City, and the price to
be paid for the elevator is 1896. There
was only one other bidder, Miiwaukee
firm. The Otis company submitted bids
on a number of different sizes and ele-
vators, but the council decided On. one
of the best, believing that the increased
cost would be mere than offset by econ
omy in operation
The new elevator will be placed on the
west side of the rotunda and will probably
be run most of the time in the place of
work satisfactorily.

THINGS WARNING UP.
Revolt Against Congressman Bower
sock Is Apparently Growing.

The revolt against Congressman
Bowersock in the Second district waxeth
warm, and there is a prospect that it
will reach the boiling stage before the
convention meets at Fort Scott on
March IL Now that Nat Barnes has
resigned the Kansas City, Kan. post
office he is going to work to organize
his forces for a hard struggle. b. Hud-
son, city attorney of Fort Scott. has
announced himself as candidate
against Bowersock, but there is danger
that John H. Order will also come out
at Fort Scott, thus dividing the opposi-
ton to Bcwersock and allowing him
to carry the county primaries
1t is claimed that Henry Allen could
get the nomination without much trou-
BILE if he would consent, but it is not
likely that Mr.. Allen would do 1t as
long as Mr. Bowersock has a chance
for denomination Allen has an ambi-
ton to go to congress sometime, but
he is too loyal to a friend to allow his
name to be used to the detriment of
BOwerSock.

A COFFEE SWORD.
The Old Things Would bob Up.''

Coffee puts its sword into people first
one place and then another. You may
depend upon it, if you are a coffee
drinker. and have aim ents in some of
the organs of the body, that coffee is
doing its work You may prove whether
it is or not by leaving it off for ten days
or two weeks, although it often takes
from nine months to two years to re-
cover from its effects.
Mr. ]. w. Ashby, Mt. Airy, N. c..
says: Il was a coffee drinker for %
years. About three years ago I suf-
fered greatly with pains in the region
of my heart and the pit of my stom-

Paris Announcement of Miss Stones
Release.

Washington, Feb. 1e.-The state de-

Stone indicates that the Paris publica-

1t is gathered, however, from the Unit

woman is likely to be released very
soon, and that the delay is explained
by the requirement of the brigands that

Council Bluffs, Nov. 20.-The Boston
store of W'hitelaw & Gardiner, for four
years one of the largest dry goods es-
Establishments in this city, was placed in
the hands of creditors last evening. The
entire stock of goods was decided by the
proprietors TO a trustee for the credit
ors and he will continue the operation
of the business until an inventory can
be taken and the stock sold. The LA
bilities are estimated by the firm to
reach $4,000, while the assets. which
consist of the stock of dry goods and
millinery, may figure close to $4,000.
The three principal creditors are the
John b. Farwell Company, of Chicago,

go, and the Commercial National Bank
of this city. They are said to repre-
sent sc per cent of the total indebted
ness of the Boston store. The various

The trustee was named by the three
principal creditors and is William e.
Muse, of the credit department Of the

charge of the store and will continue
to conduct business as usual until the
inventory is completed, which will
probably be the latter part of this week.
