BONE AND COLEMAN.
They Are Trying Little Campaigning
Together.

Harry Bone says that he and G. G.
Coleman, both of them candidates for
the Republican nomination for attorney
general, are campaigning together these
days. They are attorneys in a claim
against the federal government which
is pending in the United States court of
claims, and they are now travelling
around over the state together taking
saying a word and sometimes more IN
favor of their respective candidates..
The claim on which they are working
is that of Alfred w. Kent, who was a
freighter between IeavenwOrth and
Fort Smith Ark. during the war. Kent
was on the road at one time and While
he was passing through the Indian Ter
ritory a party of Union troops Impress
ed his outfit into the service of the gov
eminent He had two four-hOrse teams
with equipment, which he valued at
81, 200.
Kent. did nothing about the matter
for years, but about 1885 he put in a
claim against the government for 81, 200.
The court of claims has just got around
to it Before Mr.. Bone retired from the
office OF assistant United States district
attorney, he was detailed as special
attorney of the government to look at
ter the governments interests in the
matter. He was notified to be on hand
when the attorneys for Kent took evil
dence in support of the claim, and then
he was notified that c. c. Coleman, OF
Clay Center, his opponent in the race
for attorney general, is representing
Kent.
Kent~has three points to prove: First,
that his property was impressed by the
government; second, it's value; third,
that he was a loyal citizen at the time

the field, forest mine and mandatory,
the growth in our population, wealth
and commerce. the extension of rail-

Among the facts presented by these
tables are the growth of production, the
growth of commerce, the growth of
wealth. the growth of money in circula-
ton, the growth of deposits in savings
banks and the increased number of de-
positors in savings and other banks, the
decrease in interest on the public debt.
and many other facts of this character.

I'm 1900 to S10.5s in 1901.
Turning to the figures which show the
net results of these Developments,
those relating TO wealth, circulation,

the public debt which in 1867 was sI43,-
7S1. 592 had fallen to So, 342, 1877 in 1901

The statistics of trade collected by
the treasury department shows that the
prosperity of the country during 1901
was due in very large measure to the
great wheat harvest of last fall The
exports of manufactured goods were
much smaller than during the previous
year, owing, no doubt to the hard times
in Europe, but owing to heavy exports
of wheat and flour the aggregate sales
of the country to foreign nations were
almost equal to those of the year be-
fore and the balance of trade in our
favor was the second largest in history.

lied last night
The front door is secured by a worth
less Yale lock, which seems to have
been opened with pocket knife. The
burglar took great care not to disturb
or carry away anything which could be
identified, and confined himself strictly
to cash. After he had removed some
twenty dollars from the cash register
in the cigar store he passed back to the
joint in the rear which was separated
from the front by a similar lock, and
collected a few dollars from the register
there, and closed the deal t~S earring

two slot machines, gathering in all a
neat little SUM near $50. No clue TO the
perpetrator of the theft has been found
and no one saw the entrance at the
front door, which IS only one door from
