ALL IN The AIR.
Wild Stories Started About the
Senator Contest.
Report That Governor Bailey Is
Helping Long.
HE DENIES THE RUMOR.
Says Has No Preference Among
Three Candidates.
An Attempt to Start a Stam-
pede Fails.
IE DENIES THE RUMOR.

The morning papers Sunday plainly
showed a concerted action to stir up
trouble between Long and Stanley. One
paper said that Leland had deserted
Stanley, another announced that stan
ley's forces were drifting rapidly to
Long. This morning to all his callers
Governor Bailey denied that he had any
preference between Stanley, Calder
head and Long and told Representative
J. B. Adams, of Butler. that he had
never at any time indicated the slight
est preference between the three men.
When a legislator has expressed a
preference for Long. Stanley or Calder
head said Governor Bailey this morn
ing. Il have said. Well. that spits me-
There is absolutely nothing in the story
that 1 am going to favor either Stanley,
Long or Calderhead."
This morning Leland stopped the
state printer fight long enough to line
up some WaVering Stanley men. He
has had q long close conference with
Stanley and it is said that Stanley feels
SO sure of Leland that he has given
him charge of his affairs in the Repub-
lican caucus.
There is talk this morning that the
Long men will try to force d vote on
senator tonight after the state printer
caucus. Stanley, Calderhead and Cur
tbs viii object
Sunday and Monday have been medi-
cine days in the Copeland Saturday the
supporters of Long elected him on the
first ballot and as the members came
in from their Sunday rest they were
met by the Long people with the result
of the ballot. The story was started
that Stanley would withdraw from the
race today and that NJ. A Low had
come out for Long and that Barker,
Stubs and two Bowersock men, friends
of Lows would declare for Long today.
The Long men pareelled out the Stan
ley men and each Stanley man got a
big noisy terrifying Boo about the
growth of Long. 1t was hoped that be
fore midnight the Long men would have
Stanley making terms. Half a dozen of
Stanley's men held a caucus last night
and compared notes and each was
founs to have received exactly TIE same
kind of a boo from the Long men and
when the concert of action was shown,
the Stanley men began to laugh. The
cavalry charge on the situation faded
today and q naDer viii be circulated
among Stanleys men agreeing to stay
with Stanley till his nomination. or un-
til such a time as he releases them. or
until majority of the signers vote to
leave. Calderhead's men and Stanley
are very close and Stanley personally
assured Calderhead this morning that
no stampede will be permitted. It was
circulated in the lobby that Curtis had
gone to pieces to Long and the friends
of Curtis came to the friends of Stanley
assuring them that there is no truth in
the report. It is said that the Curtis
men desire a conference with Stanley
Calderhead's friends today say that NJ
A. Low and CaIderhead had confer
ence and that there is nothing in the
Long claim of Lows support.

Hutchinson, Jan. 1s--The Joe Hooker
Post G. A. r. has passed the following
resolution endorsing Long for United
States senator.
Whereas. The members of Joe
Hooker Post No. II, G. A. r. realize
that the selection of Honorable Chester
I. Long as United States senator would
reflect credit upon the state of Kansas,
giving to the state a representative in
the senate who would meet every quail
ificaton: and
Whereas, He has always shown
himself the true and loyal friend of
the old soldier, doing all in his power
for them both as a member of congress
and as a citizen;
Whereas, The members of Joe
Hooker Post No. II G. A. r. have been
the recipient of many favors at his
hands and he has ever been watchful
of their interests; therefore be it
Resolved. That this Post unanim-
ously endorses the candidacy of Ches-
ter I Long for United States senator
and each and every member pledges
himself to do all in his power to secure
his election. And be it further
Resolved, That we urge and request

This would throw it directly into the
legislature and give the fusiOnists a
chance to take a hand in it if they so
desire.
There has evidently been a sfmultan-
eous effort on the part of some of Stan
Iey's opponents to spread poison
among his followers during the last two
days 1t is doubtful If it has had any
effect, although it gives an excuse to a
member to break away from Stanley if
he so desires.

INTEREST LAGS.
Few Spectators at TOday's Ses-

Philadelphia Pa, Jan. 19.-That in
tcrest in the proceedings of the anthra-

strikingly illustra ted today when the

tors present, more than half of whom
were witnesses.
OF the % lawyers representing the
coal companies only five were in at
tendance and only one of the nine at
torneys for the miners was on hand
when the proceedings began.
Colonel r. A. Phillips, general super
intendent of the department of mining
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West

stand Saturday was the first witness
called today. He testified that the COM
pany never heard any complaintsia ganist

by weight until the advent Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers He said it makes no
difference whether the miners are paid
by the car OF by weight so long as the
rate paid is fair The company he said
never had any trouble regarding wages
until the union came into the field
Colonel Phillips said the contract
miners will now cut only FIVE or six
cars instead of six or seven as they
did before the strike Of 1900 In conse-
Quence the company. he said, has to
employ 10 per cent more men than it
did two years ago in order to get out
the same amount of coal.
The men at the company's mines
have a benefit accident society After
the 1900 strike the society was dissolved
and Immediately reorganized- This
was done, he said. to keep out the nom
union men who were sblackballed.'
From 1877 to 1900 the relations be
tween the men and the company were
pleasant and during that period there
were no strikes. The wages. he said.
were voluntarily increased 35 per cent.
Including the increase given as the re-
suit of the 1900 strike the wages of the
men have been increased As per cent

The High School is Now Assured.

On tuesday our citizens demon
strated the fact that they desired the
establishing and maintaining a Free
High School in Eagle River. There
were 104 votes cast in its favor and
not one dissenting vote was found in
the ballot box. OF that number of
votes cast, the ladies are credited of
voting SO, which showed that they al
so took an interest in the election.
The small number of voters that
attended the election, is accredited to
the fact that everybody was in favor
of High School, but if there had
been different sentiment, a much
larger number of votes would have
been cast to down the opposition.
Our citizens are to be congratulated
upon their efforts for obtaining a
higher educational institution in our
town, and it is a move in the right
direction, and one that they may we'll
feel proud of.
