THE DlBBLE,
BARNES WILL Try II.
Defeated Candidate For Postmaster to
Stand For Congress.

Congressman Bowersock may have
trouble ahead OF him after all before he
is renominated for congress 1t is an
nounced in Kansas City. Kan, this
morning that Nat Barnes, whom Bow
ersock has turned down for reappoint-
ment as postmaster, will enter the con-
gresSional race against him, and will
have the Wyandotte county delegation
by far the largest in the district, behind
him.
The postoffice fight in Kansas City is
said to have been settled by Mr.. Bow
ersock promising the office TO Benjamin
Schnierle a compromise candidate.
When the fight became bitter between
Barnes and Hoag, the candidates of the
the difficulty over to his Wyandotte
county manager, Judge Holt, and af-
ter weeks of delay Holt, it is said, made
up his mind to take the office himself,
but when this became known both of
the opposing factions made such a roar
that Holt was compelled to give up his
ambition. Now Schnierle has been an
nounced as the man who viii get the
postoffice job. and that Is the reason
Barnes proposes to run for congress
against Bowersock.
The Kansas City Journal in speaking
of Barnes candidacy says:
Postmaster Nathaniel Barnes. of Kan
turned down for reappointment by Con
gresham j. D. Bowersock, will probably
be candidate for the Republican nomi-
district. Friends of Barnes in Wyandotte
and other counties in the district have
given him boom. Barnes does not deny
that he is a candidate. He says every
thing depends on his getting the Wyan-
dotte county delegation.
THE politicians have been active in
Kansas City, Kas., ever since the authorf-
tative announcement that BENJAMIN
Schnierle had been promised the post
office.
Last Friday night several politicians
from the southern section of the Second
district, called on Barnes at his home and
urged him to come out for the nomination
These politicians, who. is it claimed. have
influence in their own counties, promised

NOW TALK COMPROMISE.
Welch-Troutman Forces Hint at Fix
ing Things.

The Shawnee county political situation
has reached that stage where compro-
mise is talked Of
Neither the close friends of James A
Troutman nor R. B. Welch will admit that
such is the case. but the politicians who
are looking to the situations that may
arise without regard to the interests of
either candidate are positive in their as
Sertions that there is plenty of talk about
a compromise. The general idea is that if
a compromise is agreed upon that Trout
man will name half the delegates from
Shawnee county and WEIGH the other half
1t is said that d. W. Mulvane, who is for
Troutman, favors this plan
The close supporters of WEIGH and
Troutman say that there is no doubt that
the contest for the delega ton VIII be car
ried on, and that Shawnee's contingent
at Wichita will be instructed for either
WEIGH or Troutman.
Troutman'S avowed prohibition ideas
may be the of wide split among
the Republican Leland and Burton forces
The local politicians are lining up for the
two candidates, and there are many anti
Leland men who are againSt TrOutman on
account of his temperance ideas who are
for WEIGH. On the other hand, Troutman
has many supporters who belong to- the
liberal element. The alignment is follow
ing no fixed rule. and it is difficult to tell
where the line will be drawn if at all.

1. vi. Frisbee Was Altogether
Too Lively.

I. NJ. Frisbee, who operates a chilli
house on East Fourth street, is in trou-
BILE, and wants the police to help him.
F'risbee is an old man. but he seems to
be quite sportive. He went out the
other night with a friend named c. A
Compton, and visited several resorts.
Somewhere during the tour Frisbee
lost his wad, containing over $500 in
cash and a pension check. OF course he
was not greatly pleased at this, and Sc
cured the arrest of his friend Comp
ton. whom he accused of collecting his
cash. Compton would not admit the
theft, and there was no evidence against
him except Frisbee's suspicion, and the
police had to release him. F'risbee is
still short.

A prominent lawyer and public speaker
of Pittsburg says: Il have been troubled
with catarrh of the head and throat for II
years. In this climate it seems impossible
to get rid of it. The continual dropping of
mucous from the nose into the throat
caused irritation and hoarseness, seriously
interfering with my public speaking. 1t
took me an hour or more of coughing,
gagging expectorating and sneezing every
morning before l could settle down to
work and this condition gradually brought
on catarrh of stomach, causing loss of APP
petite poor digestion and foul breath,
which annoyed me exceedingly. My physi-
clan advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and / took them for two months
and was astonished to find how quickly
they cleared my head throat and stomach
and have no hesitation in recommending
them. They are not only pleasant to take,
but they seem to get at the very root OF
the trouble because since using them l

CITY MAY WANT 1T.
Rumored That Council Will Ask For
Fair Grounds.

1t is likely that some opposition to the
lease of the fair grounds to the Kansas
Exposition company will be found when
the proposition comes before the county
commissioners.
The lease proposed includes a. stipulation
that the commissioners shall submit
proposition to be voted upon to make
half mill levy yearly for two or three
years for the benefit of the fair grounds.
This would raise about $500 a year, and
the two commissioners from the country.
HaineS and Harrison, are not heartily in
favor of the proposition. The streets and
walks committee of the city council Will
meet Friday afternoon to discuss the sit

cilrnen that it would be good plan for
the city to secure the fair grounds and
then lease them to the fair association

The State Journal is much obliged
to DR. Judd for calling its attention to
this technical error. The foolish ex-
travagance of DR.. Judd and his board
of health was more than the State
journal figured it out to be from the
city clerks record. Perhaps the fact
that this error was discovered by DR..
Judd shows that no one knew better
than he how great was the extrava-
gance of his administration. But posi-
bly, he had not figured out that the
comparison would add $256.S9 to the rec
ord of extravagant expenses of his de-
partment.
Dr. Judd is more of a success in play
ing passionate roles and calling names
than as a f1nancier-no one who wit
messed his ungentlemanly exhibit today
will deny this The financial hiatus
which he wrought during his eight
months career as city physician is a
tender subject with him. 1t is not
much wonder that the doctor is subject
to spells when the matter is under
discussion.
