WOULD MAKE hin STRONGER.

Judge CAN'T makes the positive
announcement that be is a candidate
for the next democratic nomination
for Governor. He announces with
equal positlveness that be will not
resign the office of Supreme Judge.
There is no gainsaying the high
esteem in which Judge CAN'T is held
10y the people OF the state as an hon

Especially is that feeling strong in
Bates county among his old friends
and neighbors. But that sentiment
does not absolve him from the obi
cation of dealing honestly and fairly
with the people aud of making the
race upon the high plane his friends
and admirers have placed him, This
he cannot do and remain upon the
Supreme bench while an active can

makers had in view the separation Of
the judiciary from the political when
they provided for separate state
conventions. That idea received
public approval, in that candidates
for Supreme Judge are not expected
to make campaign speeches. We are
simply calling attention to facts
known OF all men In the state. A
supreme Judge running for governor
places in an embarrassing position

and every litigant whose property

died in the hospital and by mistake
was buried as Mrs Olson.
When Mrs. Olson returned to Rock
ford to- day she found the two babies
she had left-Hilda and Frank-full
grown and surprised beyond measure
at her return.
Alexander Olson, her husband, she
found living with his third wife. The
second Mrs. Olson, whom he married

death, died some years ago. Mr..
Olson identified the returned one as
his wife.
The latter will recognize the rights
OF the third wife, and will live with
her recovered children.

NINETY MILES IN O:lo.
General Miles Went the Entire Dis
lance Horseback.

FL Reno, Ok, July 14.-General
Nelson A. Miles rode into Fort Reno
at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon after
the most strenuous ride 81 the aye.
He left Fort Sill at $40 o'clork this
morning and completed the ninety
mile ride in nine hours and ten min
utes. The record breaking part Of
the trip was the thiity-tive mile
stretch between Fort Sill and Ana
darko. This was accomplished in two
hours and twenty five minutes.
During the trip the general had nine
mounts. Captain Sayre Of the
Eighth cavalry made the ride wit
aim; the rest OF the escort used gov
eminent teams and ambulances. The
general was the freshest looking man
in the party. lie wore dark troust RS
and canvas leggings, light blue shirt
and white helmet.
AS he dismounted he remarked: 81
enjoyed every moment OF the trip;
there was one time felt particularly
good; that was when | came up to
the men who had charge OF the pack
teams, just south of the Canadian
river. They had lurch ready, and
| enjoyed it with them. 1t made me
feel extra good"
The general shows no signs OF even
being tired. Forty minutes after his
arrival at Fort Reno he was on the
parade grounds and in fatigue uni
form reviewing the six companies OF
infantry.
Deducting the twenty minutes
spent at luncheon and the leisure
time consumed In making the re-
mounts, the wonderful ride was made
in eight hours. This achievement of
the Ga year old veteran will go down
in history as record breaker. I'M
mediately after the review the gener-
al and Colonel Mans drove to FL
Reno, caught the afternoon train
and left for Fort Riley.

THROWS
{ Up THE SPONGE
SEATTLE GETS THE ARMY TRANS
PORT BUSINESS, so IT Is CLAIM
EXCHANGES MADE.

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator
Perkins amendment to the army APP
preparation bill, which was designed to
keep the army transport business at
San Francisco, was definitely abandon
ed today, after several conferences up
on it. This undoubtedly will be the
last attempt made to protect San Fran
cisco through legislation.
The Perkins amendment was killed by
the Hill lobby, which now swaTms
through the corridors of the capitol.
They would have been unable to kill it
had the business men of San Francisco
upheld Mr.. Perkins, but San Francisco
appears unable to understand how alb
solutely necessary the amendment is.
Secretary Root was asked today what
his course would be now that the
amendment has failed He said frankly
that he will reduce the trips made by
the transport as fast as possible and
increase. the amount of business by
commercial lines, meaning the Boston
Steamship Company.
Mr.. Root is understood to be ready to
give the Boston Steamship Company
| assurance that if it will build up a good
| line from Seattle the Government will
renew its contract from year to year
| for a constantly increasing proportion
| of the business. In the Senate this af-
ternoon the army appropriation bill
was reported without the Perkins
| amendment, and also without appro-
| pTia lions for the establishment of new
| army posts in California.
