"Pash" Warner as a Candidate.

Although barely noticed in the press
there may be some significance in the
action taken by the republicans of
Piatt in county convention Tuesday.
They declared for Congressman
''Pash' Warner, their representative
in congress, for governor, and re-
quested him to become a candidate
for the office
The Congressman has not been con
sidered to be a candidate and there
has been but little heard about him
as a possibility even. About all that
has been said of him has been a pre-
diction made here and there that the
nominee of the republicans may be
some man like 'Pash' Warner" and
now and then someone has remarked
to the effect that he would make a
strong candidate and an able COVER
nor.
Attorney General Hamlin. who has
been all but a publicly avowed candi-
date for governor for months and who
has been quietly but actively stringing
gubernatorial wires for some time
past. lives in the district which War
ner represents in congress. and it has
been claimed that the congressmaH
and the attorney general have had an
understanding for mutual benefit.
The action of the Piatt county re-
publieans would indicate that there is
no understanding as reported or, at
least, if there is. that it does not EN-
brace the aspirations of the attorney
general to be governor. The declara-
ton Of Piatt republicans may mark
q
candidate. If he should become a
candidate. and the Piatt declaration
shows that he is a tentative one at
least, if it shows anything, he will
hurt Hamlin a great deal and he may
hurt several other ambitious gentle
men also before the republican state
convention next spring gets through
balloting for governor

to do soto produce anything which
would in the slightest degree support
its charges. Naturally it has lost it's
influence with the people of the state.
Hence the governor is without an or
gan.
There is but one thing that need
be said as to newspaper opposition to
GOV. Yates or any other man. If the
opposition is not based upon truth
the people soon understand the situ-
alton and the opposition is in vain.
The newspapers which have been OPP
posing the governor have merely been
telling the truth about him and his
administration. As matter of fact
they have not even been telling all of
the truth. They have hesitated to tell
of rottenness as it actually exists.
They have told enough to demon
strate that there is need of a change
in the government of this state just
as soon as it can he made under the
constitution.
The crime of newspaperdom of
which Gov. Yates complains is the
crime of telling the truth about him. y

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have al
hand reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight injur-
les and ailments. A good liniment and
one that is fast becoming a favorite
if not household necessity is Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. BY applying it
promptly to a cut, bruise or burn it
allays the pain and causes the injury
to heal in about one-third the time
usually required, and as it is an anti
septic it prevents any danger of blood
poisoning. When Pain Balm is kept
at hand sprain may be treated be-
fore inflammation sets in, which in
sures quick recovery. For sale by

Yates and the Newspapers.

The Springfield News, republican
paper, takes up Gov. Yates attack on
the Chicago press. and says: 1T is
somewhat significant that Gov Yates
devoted most of his harangue at Jack
sonville to what he called a trust
press. The state executive spent con
siderable time telling what he was
going to do to the newspapers who
have opposed him. He even said that
if they did not watch out he would
make an issue of the trust press'-in
which event of course the newspapers
of the state which do not agree with
the governor would have to quit bus
mess. 1t is true, as Gov Yates saws,
that he now has no newspapers to
fight his battles for him in Cook
cC@nty. The only newspaper in that
county which has supported him has
been convicted of lying. 1t joined an
unhcly conspiracy in which the gov
ernor participated to smirch the
character and reputation of the re-
publican majority in the state general
assembly. 1t was given an opportun-
ity to prove its charges and it failed

GOOD FOR CHICKEN MEN.
Kansas State Show Offers Exception
al Inducements

Under the regulations governing the
exhibit of poultry in the Kansas state
poultry show at the Auditorium be-
tween the dates of January IL and II,
it will be possible for a single pen of
birds to carry off the entire list of pre-
they are exhibited. This is a privilege
not granted in any other poultry show
in the west, so far as is known A
single pen may go away with prizes
amounting to $751; In almost every class
there is more money and fewer require
ments than in any other poultry show
at which a breeder can display his
birds.
To the people who really know Moth
ing about the breeding of fine birds,
the coming show will be made interest
ing by the introduction of an idea
conceived by Secretary Hughes. Every
cage will be labeled with a brief de-
scription of the variety and good points
OF the bird exhibited. Information re-
garding the propagation of new species
and the commercial value of each will
also be given. This years advance
work for the show, which is principally
in the hands of J. w. F. Hughes. who
is secretary of the state association, is
meeting with better results than ever
appropriation of 81, 900 for the annual
show, the money to be used in paying
its annual expenses and in preparing a
report of the proceedings of the show
and of the annual meeting of the aSso-
cation. This assistance from the state
has put the association out of reach of
want and has assured to exhibitors
more favorable showing conditions
than ever before. To the disinterested
spectator 1t guarantees a more COM
piete display of poultry than has ever
been given in Kansas.

YOakum Is Making an Investi-

BUYING EXISTING LINE
Ell PasO & Southwestern May Be
Bought Outright.
Plan Is to Extend the Line to
San Diego.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 29.-The present
visit of President B. F. Yoakum of the
Frisco to California and the southwest
Is of more Significance than is attached
to an ordinary pleasure trip. There is
an accumula ton of evidence which
tends to show that the Rock Island
Frisco interests are about to come into
possession of the FL Paso & South
western railroad.
The latter line connects with the
Rock Island at Ell Paso. 1t runs from
FL Paso west to Bisbee, Ariz., and has
q number of important branches run
ming to the principal mining camps of
New Mexico and Arizona 1t is the
only railroad on the continent which
crosses the divide on grade of less
than 1 per cent. This fact alone makes
1t a remarkable piece of property and
a most desirable link in a proposed
transcontinental line.
1t is known that Phelps, Dodge & Co,
who built and own the road. contem-
plate the construction of important ex-
tensions of the main line and some Of
It's branches if the road is not sold in
the immediate future. Steps have been
taken to build the road west from Bis
bee TO san Diego, Cal. 1t is stated that
land has already been purchased at
San Diego for the necessary port and
terminal facilities for the road.
me construction of this proposed ex-
tension is comparatively easy under
taking. By following the extreme
southern route, close to the Mexican
border, as has been done in building
the road between FL Paso and Bisbee
no engineering difficulties will be en-
countered and the cost of construction
will be reduced to a minimum The
exceedingly low grade would make the
cost Of operating the line very low as
compared with that of other trans
continental lines.
The announcement was recently made
that Phelps, Dodge & Co. have OBJ
tanned concession from the Mexican
government for extending the FL Paso
K Southwestern, or rather for building
a branch line OF that road from a point
on the Arizona. border. south to the
port of Lobos, situated about fifty
miles below the mouth of the Yaqui
river, on the Pacific coast of Mexico
1t is understood that this valuable con-
cession will also pass into the hands Of
the Rock Island Frisco if the pending
deal for the purchase of the Ell Paso &
Southwestern is made. The ella VAL
ley, Globe & Northern railroad. which
Is now a Southern Pacific property, is
soon to pass into the control of Phelps,
Dodge & Co.
This line is more than 100 miles long
and VIII be valuable feeder for the
I'll Paso & Southwestern.
