OPENED BY BELkNAP.
Republican Campaign in Ken
tncky Begins at NunfordviIIe.

Munfordville. KY, Sept. I'm the
presence of several thousand people the
Republican state campaign was open
ed here today by Colonel Morris B..
Belknap, candidate for governor. The
party'S leaders were in attendance and
other candidates on the stae ticket de-
livered short addresses. Special trains
brought large crowds from nearby
cities.
Colonel Belknap's speech dealt main
Beckham, which he asserted was large
ly responsible for the lawless condi-
tions prevailing in Breathitt and other
counties. He said in part:
THE dramatic and tragic panorama
of political events in our state for four
years is one from which we instinct
lively turn away. 1t is heavy with .trag-
edy, with the slime of untruth clinging
to it's garments Repulsive and reek-
ing with the foul atmosphere of dun
geons, it displays a body prostituted to
perjury and fraud"
Referring to one of the more noted of
Breathitt county pardons, Colonel
Belknap said:
Perhaps Raleigh was innocent of
having voted any other than the DEM
convicted of killing a little girl in
Breathitt county and who was pardon
ed by Mr.. Beckham. Your governor
by pardoning this miscreant has shown
that ne thinks the brute who would
improperly accost' your daughters and
then shoot them like dogs. was fit after
a few years of punishment to enjoy the
full privilege of citizenship.
1.-The table of pardons granted during
the last three administrations and sub
mitted to the public by the governor in
defense of his record is an interesting
one although conspicuously incom-
plete. Still it shows that at least lbs
convicts have been set free in II years.
Those paroled and not counted would
easily carry the number to 1900
"Mr Beckham has asked me in the
event of my election if I would pardon
Howard or Powers. or either of them
answer in the words of Lord Coke:
When the case happens I shall do that
which shall be for a judge to do
Turning to the trials of the alleged
assassins of Goebel, Colonel Belknap
declared:
1.-THE trials that have been so far con-
Quoted with partisan juries and per-
jured testimony leave justice unsatis-
fed. No such travesties can fool the
mass of the intelligent people and once
again they demand the facts, which
they have reason to believe are being
concealed for political purposes and
which are vital to the truth in this
case, be divulged."

TO BEAT TIE GOVERNMENT
Chinese Ordered Deported Send
Substitutes.

San Francisco, Sept. PA bold at
tempt has just been discovered to de-
fraud the government by shipping back
to China on the steamer Gaelic six i'm
posters in place of six Chinese who were
ordered deported by United States Dis
trict Judge DeHaven. One arrest has
been made in the case and others will
follow shortly. More sensational de-
velopments are expected, as it is be-
lieved that the government has stumbled
on to the work of a ring
1t is the contention of the government
officials that the six genuine Chinese
were in the county Jail yesterday morn
ing and that they were removed from
there at o'clock by deputy United
States marshal and taken in a hack to
the Pacific mail dock From there they
were placed safely on board the steamer
Gaelic Five hours later the men could
not be found. but in their stead were
imposters in no way resembling them in
appearance. At a late hour last night
the officials were in the dark so far as
having any knowledge as to how this
lightning change act came about.

HAPPENED AT WICHITA.
Indian Lover Borrows Circlet fol
Measure Then Leaves Town,

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 12.-Miss Blanche
Peterson, a well known young lady of
FL Dorado, came to this city yesterday,
and was to have been married to F. ].
Matthew. in one of the city hotels.
During the afternoon, Matthew, who is
an Indian, son of Big Heart, chiefso of the
Osages, borrowed a valuable ring from
his fiancee that he might bny a we'd
ding ring of the correct size, and since
that time nothing has been heard of
him except that he purchased a ticket
for St. Louis. Miss Peterson reported
the matter to the police, but they have
been unable to locate him. Matthew's
Indian name is Gray Horse. He met
Miss Peterson two years ago, and they
planned to be married then. but for
some reason it was put off from time to
time, until they met again the other day
and decided to come to Wichita and
have the ceremony performed.
Miss Peterson said that she cared
nothing for Matthews. but she wanted
the ring. Miss Peterson is young and
pretty, and her parents are wealthy.

Hogs Go Off Five and Ten
Cents.

Chicago, Sept 12.-WHEAT-The weather
map showed heavy rains in the northwest

cember at Si1z@S1%c. There were predic-
tions of more rain, with a possibility of
lower temperatures and shorts FASTENED
to cover, the price strengtheningr-to S1Ac.
The general market was rather indiffer-
ent to the weather situation, however, and
December dropped back to size. Re-
cefpts at Minnea polls, Duluth and Chi
cago were 902 cars.
The decline was checked and the mar
ket became firmer, December closing 40
nc higher, at S15s4S2c.
CORN-In sympathy with wheat and on
prospects of colder weather corn started
firm, December at 5Oa501zc. Shorts cover
ing helped the price to 503sc. but with a
later Indifferent trade, the option weak
ened to 50Q50Ac. Receipts were 59l cars.
December corn firm up to 5055c, closing
steady at 50asc, a gain of AGssc.

BANKS AREIN GOOD SHAPE
Four Wichita institutions Have
AveraRe Deposits of 81 100000.

Wichita. Kas.. Sept. 12.-When the
call of the comptroller for national
hank statements came, it found the
Wichita banks in better shane than
they have ever been in the history or
the city. The deposits of the Fourth
National amounted to over $4,000, 900,
the largest ever reported by any bank
in the state. while the total for the
four was sufficiently large to make the
average amount to more than 81 ,30e, 900.
The state banks, too, report greatly in
creased deposits.
Local bankers say the increase is due
partly to the fact that Wichita has
been made a reserve city. and more to
the fact that the farmers are market
ing their wheat and the southwestern
part of the state generally is enjoying
q period of unusual prosperity.

DON'T WANT sOLDIERS.
A Protest Against Using Farm Land
tor the Maneuvers.

Junction City. Kas.. Sept. PA petit
ton signed by more than fifty land
owners of Milford township. Geary
county. and Ogden township. Riley
county, whose land lies north and north
west of the Fort Riley reservation, has
beer forwarded to the war department
as a protest against the maneuver
army going on land belonging to citi-
zens in those two townships this fall,
because of the hindrance the large army
would be to them in their work.
So far this is the only opposition the
war deDavtme has met in getting the
farmers to lease their land for the pc
riod of two weeks the troops will be
on the reservation for the maneuvers-
Practically every farmer in the other
three townships. which are also want
ed by the government has or will sign
the leases. The government is giving
the farmers cents an acre for every
acre in the five townships. agreeing to
settle for all damages to the farm land.
AS the movements of the troops. out
side of the reservation will be confined
largely to the public roads, very little
of the land will be injured by the troops
crossing it.

ARE ALPINE GUIDES TIMID
Risks Run by the Men-The obsti-
macy of the "Tenderfoot."

With the increase in the number of
club huts, ladders and other facilities
for mountain climbing, it has become
the fashion, especially among those who
know very little about the subject, to
speak Of the modern Alpine ascension

difficulties to encounter than the man
who undertakes to walk to Brighton.
But. while it is undoubtedly true that,
for instance, the ascent of Mont Blanc
is very much easier task today than
it was when Jacques Balmat first made
his way to the summit in 1856, the AL
pine guides, as a class, are finding that
Gus and difficult every year.
This is due to the fact that,
Switzerland is continually being opened
up more and more for the ordinary tour
list, there is an ever increasing number
of men (and women, too) who, without
possessing any of the necessary knowl-
edge, training or experience, are anxious
to emulate, and if possible outdo the
feats of world famous members of the
Alpine club. The expert mountaineer,
who has made careful study of his
hobby from the beginning, knows that
the first and most important thing to be
done, before starting on a climbing ex-
knows he can trust, and, having done
so, to accept their decisions and obey
theirs instructions in all matters in
which their knowledge and experience
are likely to be superior to his own.

coiled length of red thread rope i'm

Fair and Races at Paola.

Paola. Kas., Sept. 1.-THE Miami
county fair will close this afternoon.
The attendance is greater than ever be-
fore, presumably on account of the re-

business house in Paola was closed

having received permission from the
postoffice department to close the office.
One of the largest ears of corn ever

foolhardy. The herr can choose his
guide, for he takes his turn upon the
roster, knowing always that the next
applicant for his services, for Wnom ne

be either an incompetent weakling or a
concefted and obstinate fool.
For th1s reason a guide must be not
only man of great muscular strength,
knowledge of rock and ice and OF Lh1
jdiosyncrasies of the weather in his own
particular district, but he must possess
sufficient force of character, personality
and tact to impress and convince his

guide knows that he is more likely 10

qualifications of his employer that con-

The statement that the herr can

most of the Swiss climbing centers, ana
any member of one of the recognized
Alpine clubs has a right to choice OF

and they try to enforce the tour de role

striking instance of this happened three
years ago, when two well known climb

had been specially recommended to

They found their men. but were told
that these could not come without leave
from the guide chef. The latter insisted
on the tour de role with such obstinacy
that finally, in disgust, the two climbers
went off TO the postoffice and telegraph
ed to Zermatt (where there is no guides
bureau) for two guides whom they had
already employed in that district, and
they engaged them to climb in the
Chamonix valley for six weeks at Ell

FOOTBALL AT LAWRENCE
Haskell and Jayhawkers Get
ting Out fOrPractice.

Lawrence, Kan. Sept 12.-Coach
bernstein has started the Indians in at
signal practice already. Last night was
the first time that any signals were
given, but ne has been working on for
nations for some time. There are forty
men out for practice every evening and
about that number have been sent to
the training table. The work is char
acterized by much dash and snap and
Is very encouraging in that respect.
Falls, last years quarterback, re-
turned last night and was out for prac-
tice. He is a strong punter, beside be-
ing a good heady player and his return
means much for the team. With a little
special practice this year he ought to
make one of the best kickers in a west
ern gridiron, as his punting was fea-
ture Of the Indians playing last year.
Falls is in good condition to get into
the game this season. Jake Dugan,
who played half in '01 and OF. also re-
turned yesterday and was out last
night. Felix, one of last years ends,
returned today and this gives the red
skins their two old ends, as Guyon has
been here all summer. Archiquette Will
be sorely missed, but there seems to be
plenty of light. fast men to be had.
The great trouble will be to get line
with enough weight to stand the strain
of line bucks. Captain Dubois and
Oliver. last years tackles, will again
positions. but the question of center
and guards IS still very much unset
tied. 1t is feared that there may be
a lack Of beef there. Neither Carl nor
Redwater will be in the lineup this
season.
Haskell will probably not have an
assistant coach this year. There will
be at least none until later in the sea-
son. Physical Director Berry, how
ever, is on the field every night and
helps to keep the men at work Some
of the old players are helping to round
the youngsters into form.
Work by the University of Kansas
men on McCook field has assumed
much more vigorous character with the
arrival of more men and the increase OF
interest in the game. For the last two
nights the squad has numbered about
twenty men, and Coach Weeks has ia
ken opportunity to get the men thor
oughIy familiar with the new kinks in
the new rules and has taught them ms
