NEAR BRIDAL VEIL FALLS.
President Roosevelt in a Beautiful
California Grove.

NaIlJOTOJa 0TOve. a
Yosemite, Cal. May 18.-President
Roosevelt, John Muir and Rangers
Leidig and Leonard are encamped in
the Bridal Veil near the banks Of the
MERGED. In a grove of pines and frs
almost within the spray of the beauti-
full Bridal Veil falls, the chief execu-
tive is resting after one of the most
memorable days of his life.
At 3 o'clock In the afternoon the
party arrived from Bridal Veil falls
at the Happy Thistles.
The party had been lowering above
the Yosemite since early morning,
first at the height of Glacier Point,
then at Panorama Wall near the New
falls and later at the Nevada and
Vernal falls, yet this was their first
entrance to the floor of the valley.
There were but few there to meet him,
because his point of entrance was not
known to anyone, not even the mem
bers of his party. He spoke kindly
to those there and then came down the
valley via Camp Curry and to the
Sentinel hotel.
The party was greeted by President
Wheeler and others at the Sentinel
hotel.
The president alighted and for a few
minutes he spoke pleasantly to a few
members Of his party.
Enjoyed the Storm.
1--WE were in a snow storm last
night and it was just what | wanted"
said he smilingly. The president was
dressed in a khaki suit, army hat and
around his hat was a dusty looking

In a few minutes he mounted his
horse and with John Muir and Presi-
dent Wheeler visited the %Jorgensen

the studio accompanied by the others
of the party he walked back to the
bridge and then held an informal re.
ceDtion lasting ten minutes.
The president appeared perfectly at
home and the people felt that they
were greeting an old friend. Cameras
and kodaks were swapping on all sides.
AS he recrossed the bridge pictures
were given him. Then he passed un-
der the arch and rode, unaccompanied
by anyone, down the street of Yo-
semitic village. A small boy said:
Hello, Teddy"
The president stopped his horse
and a frown darkened his face. He
rode up to the boy. the dignity of the
president gone and in it's place the
face and severity Of the father and
parent. He gave the youngster a
short lecture on that he will
never forget.

Chester |. Long.

Kansas legislators, at least occas-
ionally, do the right thing. When
the caucus last Thursday nominated
for United States Senator Chester
1. Long of Medicine Lodge, they
did the proper thing and in a very
neat manner. More than a year
ago this paper began advocating
Mr.. Long for the senatorship, soon
to be vacated by Mr.. Harris, not
because of any obligation 10 Mr.
Long or because of any solicitation
on his part or any of his friends, but
because we considered him the best
and biggest man in the state for the
place.
Mr.. Long is young man of abil-
ity and of force. We have watched
his rapid growth and development
with pr,de and admiration. We
knew him as young man, earnestly
striving by his own might, for a
place in the busy, hustling world oi
business, and nave watcneo MS
successful political career, from the
time Of the Long Simpson debates
when he first began to attract gen
eral attention, to his successful figh
for the Senate, and always with
admiration, not alone for his abil
fly and bright genius but for his
honest manhood and sterling char
scter. In all his political contests
and business dealings, no one ha'
ever intimated that Chester !. LonI
was not honest and sincere.

Erie Proposes.

Several of the leading business
men of Erie called on our citizens,
last Saturday night and proposed a
compromise on court house differ
ences The proposition in brief is,
that Erie shall have a new court
house as proposed, and Chanute
shall have adjourned terms of court.
The Chanute men are considering
the proposition. The only trouble
about this proposition IS, 1t leaves
out of consideration entirely the rest
of the county and we do not know
as yet how the people of the county
generally feel about the matter. As
we remarked last week, Chanute and
Erie are not exactly the whole cheese
in this county yet. We would like
to hear free and general expression
from the farmers.
A few farmers have been in our
Office and registered wholesome
kicks against the proposition, but
there has been no general expression.
If we hear nothing to the contrary,
we will take it for granted that the
farmers are generally In favor of this
offer or at least SO indifferent thai
they will not kick, let the matter
go as it will.

the Long forces split in twain as he
so gallantly charged the center. His
chagrin was great when he found that
battle as he would, he could not make
the faintest impression. But the ra-
tions were bountiful at the Copeland
and William stayed at the front i'm
agining he was in the thickes: of the
fray.
When the fight was over, and Long
was nominated by acclamation, VIM.
Allen was seen leaning against col
umn of the statehouse, looking some
what detected and forlorn. He was
approached by bronzed looking
individual from the short grass coun-
Try who familiarly slapped him on
the back and said, "Hello, Bill,
what's the matter now?" VIM. sad
ly related to him how his dear friend
the Governor had been defeated for
the United States senate, when he
was the noblest and best man in the
state, by that gangle shanked young
ster from Medicine Lodge. "Now
see here, Bill" said the short grass
man, "let me tell you something
for your own good; you may be able
to write very fair kid story, skin
one of them down casters, or even
write a good advertisement for
Thunder Mountain, but what you
don't know about Kansas politics
would make a right smart book.
Why, gol darn it, couldn't you see
that Stanley's candidacy was only
joke? Why, Stanley is most as hap
py as Long is now, them tears of
his'n were all for effect" William
returned to Emporia and straight
way wrote an editorial on the vanity
of human expectations.

Good Entertainment.

We had the pleasure of attending a
very interesting illustrated lecture at
the Swede church last Tuesday night
given by A. Blom. The lecturer was
at all times entertaining and at times
quite eloquent and earnest.
He took his audience by easy stages
through China and Japan and down
through Egypt. He described the
habits and customs of these strange
people, their religion and modes OF
life. He showed much beautiful park
scenery, beautiful buildings aud busy
streets. His description Of Hong Kong
yas complete. He showed the large
hotels of that city and as the lecturer
expatiated on its beauty and grand
eur we made up our mind to stop
there the next time we visited the
city but the lecturer soon dashed all
our happy anticipations in that line
by stating that their rates were $500
per day.
That rate might do as a regular
thing for Lee Bailey but we could not
stand il more than about IL minutes.
Mr.. Blom furnishes a fine evenings
entertainment. His talk was all
in Swede but his pictures were genu-
inc, good old English.

William Allen.

VIM. Allen White, the great dis
penser of political gospel for EN-

which to exercise his genius for pol

where he resides, hied himself away
to Copeland Co. to measure steel
with the mighty warriors that had
assembled there. He girded up his
loins and drew down his hemlet and
with cry of "Stanley, to the res

body. Born in Pennsylvania in
1860, he is but AZ years old. In
1879 Mr.. Long came to Paola, KS,
and spent three years in the Normal
school there.
In 1882 he went to Topeka and
studied law with the firm Peck, John
son & Mcfarland. He was admit
ted in 1885 and located In Medicine
Lodge and began the practice of his
chosen profession. He was a sue
cessful lawyer from the start and
took his place at once as one of the
lead ne lawyers of the town. In
1880 he entered political contest
for the state senatorship of his dis
trict and after a hard fight was nom-
mated and elected. He made a
reputation in the state senate and in
1892 was nominated for Congress in
the Seventh district. Jerry Simpson,
the then Congressman, was his
opponent. Simpson beat Long in
this contest by 1900 votes only,
when he had beaten his previous
Republican opponent by about
10, 900.
In 1894 Long was again nominal
ed against Jerry and this time van
quished his old opponent. He at
tracted attention in Congress from
the start and to day is considered
one of the very strongest members.
In 1896 the irrepressible Jerry was
again pitted against Mr.. Long.
Long made a gallant fight, debating
with Jerry the money question In a
| number of the principal towns of the
District. This time Long, like
many other Republican Congress.
men, went down, a victim to the
great silver craze of that year. In
! 1898 he again received the nomina
tion and again met Jerry, this time
to completely vanquish him. He
was reelected again in 1900 and
again in 1902. Mr., Long is then
serving the last part of his third term
in Congress.
He has made bright record fol
himself in that body. His speech
on the Porto Rican tariff bill gave
him a national reputation, and his
able advocacy of the Cuban reci-
procity bill attracted wide attention.
When he took hold of the reciproc.
ity measure it seemed a hopeles:
task, but Long never faltered. He
studied every side of the question
and mastered every detail And
when the discussion came up, Mr..
Long was found thoroughly posted
on every phase of the question and
for four hours held the attention OF
the house in speech that has never
been answered and that won the day
for Cuban reciprocity.
Mr.. Long married Miss Anna
Bache, a young lady of culture and
refinement, whom he met in his
school days, and to them have
been born two ch ldren, both girls.
There now opens up to this ambit;'
Gus young Kansan field of bound

ity and the experience and the pee.
pie of his great state are behind him

won in the house will give him a
high place in the Senate. Much
will be expected of him and We
think he will not disappoint the ex
pectations of his most arden
friends.

Of Error.
Insufficient Evidence and Improper

@..~ 81. for. Reversal. 49,

. Frederick w. Ames' appeal to the SUI
preme court from the verdict of guilty rem
dered in the district court of this county
is now complete and will be heard about
the middle of the April term. The appel
lants brief, prepared by Welch, Hayne &
Hubachek, is now in print, and will be
served at once upon Attorney General w.
b. Douglas and County Attorney +. FL.
|Boardman, representing the state. The
document reviews the case thoroughly and
sets forth 1O6 assignments of error.
In concluding their brief the attorneys
for the defendant recaptiulate their posi-
ton as follows: ,'--.s. 49, -. -. :. +
First-That the state did not establish by
competent evidence that the defendant ever had
any understanding made any agreement with
Addie Mills for the payment Of protection money.
Second-That the state wholly failed to show
any authority or agency in Cohen to act for the
| defendant in his unlawful collection Of money
| from Mills.
! Third-,That the state cannot be permitted to
establish the so-called AGENCY of Cohen to act
| for the defendant in the Mills transaction by In
| ference, or by presumption arising from other
| transactions as was done in this case.
! .Fourth-That the evidence of the other and
distinct transactions between Cohen and the sew
| eral~ women other than Add1e Mills was I'M
| properly admitted and violation Of tht
| rule which excludes evidence of distinct ofense:
in criminal cases..
Mcintosh and of Murphy was improperly admit
Eted, as it simply tended to show admissions b:
the defendant as to his knowledge of Cohen
1 transactions with certain women other than Ad
die Mills; this a similar violation of tn
rule excluding evidence of other offenses.
Sixth-That the trial court committed erro
in its charge to the jury in the several respect
heretofore discussed, and which error was prejt
i diced. - El st@;Nst
Sevcnth-That the court should have quashe
the indictment for the reasons urged.
IF aiighth--That the defendants motion for
new trial should have been granted.
We sumbit that, upon the showing, this cou
should quash this Indictment; that if we are III
sustained in this position, that the, order of tt
trial court appealed from should be reversed.
