The new man claims to have been an

the circumstances it seems most un.
fortunate that new trial cannot be

the power OF Governor Dole to order

i. g.: He acted Independently of

appointed his own man independent
of the meddlesome committee, and
although a member OF the Family
Compact was selected, the Governor

Employees of Government Printing Of
fee Hold Session on Miller.

Washington, July 2S.-There was
long discussion at a meeting last night
at the Typographical hall of the situa
ton arising over the reinstatement of
W. A. Miller, the assistant foreman of
the bindery in the government printing
office, who has been discharged because
he had been expelled from the Book
binders union. The meeting was at
tended by two representatives of the In
ternational Bookbinders' brotherhood,
Messrs. ]. w. Dougherty. its general
secretary, and J. A. ESpee, the Secre-
treasurer; by the presidents and
secretaries of the various allied organi-
cations represented in the government
printing office, including the printers,
the pressmen the photographers and the
wOmen's auxiliary and also by President
Gompers and Secretary Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor. After
the meeting the statement was made
that no definite action of any character
had been taken and that the time had
been used in discussion. No time was
set for the meeting and it is stated that
the present intention is to wait for
time to see what action Public Printer
Palmer will take in the case of Miller
against whom charges of unfitness have
been preferred.

the second, for the action on the war
rant from the South city court. For
each cause Jarboe asks $125,000.
After the first arrest Jarboe says in
remain a prisoner in the Wyandotte
county jail for twelve days before he
could furnish bond, and on the second
ty days. In each case he says he was
compelled to pay $1,000 for attorney fees
and costs, and 81 900 to secure bail, be-
sides being otherwise injured, humili-
ated and disgraced, and being compelled
to suffer the horrors and fortunes of a
Jail and prison." and that his business
reputation both in Kansas City and
Coffeyville was ruined.
In speaking of the case yesterday,
Judge Donoho said there was no ques-
ton in his mind that Jarboe was inno-
cent. Even if he had not possessed the
exact number of cattle he represented,
Judge Donoho said. he could not under
the law be termed guilty of fraud by
reason of the fact that it was the COM
pany's business to investigate such cases
before taking mortgages
Judge Anderson. one of Jarboe's at

tition. persuaded the court to raise this
to SIS, 000. This, Jarboe claims, was done

FOR FALSE ARREST.
B. F. Jarboe Files Suit for $25O,OOO
in Kansas City. Kas.

Kansas City, Kan. July 2S.-Benjam-
in T. Jarboe, a ranchman of Coffeyville
filed suit in the common pleas court for
$250,0 900 damages against j. E. Greer,
of the firm of Greer, Mills & Co., and
]. e. Freed, an agent for the company.
The suit is for alleged false arrest and
imprisonment and malicious prosecu-
ton, and grows out of the arrest of
Jarboe September 4, 1902, on a warrant
from the North city court, in which the
Greer-Mills company charged him with
having obtained $266, 325S5 upon notes
secured by mortgages upon cattle which,
it was alleged, Jarboe did not possess:
and also upon subsequent arrest from
a warrant issued from the South city
court on the same charges. This is the
largest damage suit ever filed in the
courts of either Kansas City.
The action was filed through Jarboe's
attorneys, D. r. Nelson, of CoffeyviIle
and Judge T. P. Anderson and NJ H.
Donoho. In his petition Jarboe alleges
that the prosecution, arrest and i'm

months, most of the time on official
business, Lieutenant Governor Hanna
returned to his home in Hill City just
in time to close the bargain for another
1000 farm of Graham county land.

days since to see a sign suspended

In the last forty days the real estate
agency in Hill City of which Lieutenant
Governor Hanna is at the head has
sold Graham county lands from which
the commissions to the firm amounted
to more than $1,000.

some times, has turned Socialist. Mr..
Populist wouldn't read Republican
newspaper; in fact. wouldn't allow one
in his house. The Republican woman
had heard Mr. Populist say SO often
that he wouldn't have a Republican pa
per in the house. and she called him
down. ''Oh, yes you do the woman
retored. What Republican paper" he
asked. Your pension papers," shouted
the woman.

BURTON'S SHOT AT EAST.
Says College Athletes Are Useless in
Harvest Field

Chicago, July 2S.-"Well, there's moth
ing the matter with Kansas said Sen
ator Burton as he pushed a hat manu-
featured in Philadelphia, a little to one
side and lighted Pittsburg stogie.

good, when it comes to a pointed queS-
ton, but if you must know. we Kansas
people have fault to find with the effete

Were having a hot time out in Kan
sas. Nobody knows it better than the
farmers-unless it's some of the east
erners who came out to help harvest
the crops. They are big, fine looking
fellows, but they won't do for Kansas.
why, we had some college boys out
there who rowed on the varsity Fights,
played on the elevens, and led their
mines in batting, but when we sized
them up, according to Kansas calcula-
tions they weren't one, two, three.
mo, the eastern boys will not do.
They may be all right on the gridiron
or the diamond, but put them out in a
harvest field and they have to call for
substitutes. 1 tell you, there's nobody
who can compete with a Kansan.'
Senator Burton said nearly all the
fasteners who went to Kansas hoping
to make money working as farm hands
had failed to make good and that the
farmers now refused to employ them.

A STRAY 500
Found in Box of Cigars Sent to an
Army Officer.

Washington. July 2S.-The secretary
of war has sent to the treasury depart
ment a box of cigars and one hundred
dollars which was received from the
department of Texas. 1t appears that
Colonel Glen, chief quartermaster of
the department, found the box of cigars
on his desk and upon opening it discov-
cred it was from a contractor who was
doing some work under the quarter
masters supervision. In the box was
the money. The colonel was very indig-
nant and referred the matter to General
Fred Grant commanding the depart
ment. The contractor acknowledged
sending the cigars by messenger boy,
but said he did not know anything about
the money. General Grant thought that
under such circumstances nothing could
be done by prosecuting the man for at
tempt to bride, and sent the cigars and
the money to the war department From
the war department they were sent to
the treasury where all unclaimed funds
are sent. The cigars subsequently were
sold for SO and the money placed with
the hundred dollars.

and now his third span tumbled into

Editor Duvall, of the Norton Courier
throws this pretty bouquet at his town:

but will repeat. Norton is the largest.
prettiest and best town in northwest
Kansas. While other towns surround
ing this city are losing in population.
Norton continues to grow in size, nun
Der of inha bitants and in natural beau
ty."
Frank Lockard, of Norton, gives
these reasons. among others, why his
chances ought to be first-class. The
Fortieth Sena torial District comprises
Norton, Phillips and Smith counties.
Smith county already has the secretary
of state and Burrow is entitled to a
second term. Phillips county has the
congressman, and Reeder wants it foi
a fourth term. Under the circum-
stances neither Burrow or Reeder want
fight and it looks perfectly natural to
LockaId that his chances for winning
are the best. He says his candidacy is
perfectly legitimate, and he believes
Norton county will endorse him.
