Buffalo Jones is a type which has
a peculiar interest to the president
Many of the best years of the presi-
dents life We're spent in the west at a
time when the cowboy and the from
tiersman were at the zenith of their
fame. When Roosevelt. the cowman.
rode the range in eastern Montana and
western Dakota there were many char
acters like Buffalo Jones. The one
who was afterwards to take such d
prominent part in the affairs of the na-
ton delighted to associate with these
men. He shared with them the hard
ships Of the roundup: he hunted big
game in their company; he lived the
life of the plainsman and eniOyed him
self to the utmost.
And so it is that buffalo Jones is
certain to have d peculiar interest for
President Roosevelt 1t was through the
president that Buffalo Jones was sent
to the park to carry on a work for
which he is undoubtedly better quail
fed than any other man.
Buffalo Jones is a typical old-tine
tront1ersman. Old and grizzled and
roughly dressed, he presents a picture
that calls to mind the stories of the
pains OF which all American readers
are familiar Buffalo Jones has a
storehouse crasnmed with stories of the
old-tinae days. the DAYS of which the
president himself has a sersonaI recol-
lection. and to Which he is still fond OF
referring.
While at the fort President Roosevelt
will be shown the corral for buffaloes built
near the post There are Is buffalo COWS in
that corral and one bull. besides a mum
Der OF elk and deer Two bulls were pIir-
chased last year of a breeder and shipped
to the park One was put in the corral at
Fort Yellowstone and the other a huge
fellow, was taken to Pelican creek where
a corral had been built. 1t is the plans Of
President Roosevelt to visit the latter cor
raj, which IS located Is miles northeast of
the MOTEL at Lake Yellowstone This will
be one of the most interesting of the side
trips planned for the president. He will
cross the Yellowstone river near the foot
Of the lake About three miles Of the
trip may be made on horseback. but the
remainder viii be made on snowshoes At
ter the river has been crossed the snow
will be found to be very damp and the
trail unbroken. The president knows what
snowshoe trip involves. He has used
snoWshoes before and. unless he changes
his plan, he will make the trip.
Buffalo Jones home is in Topeka He
lived here up to the time President Roose-
velt appointed him to have charge of the
animals in the park. He is the author
of Buffalo. Jones Forty Years of Adven-
ture, and he is known as one of the esz-
perts in the capture of wild animals

Victor Murdoch viii Shake
Hands for 3S Days.

Victor Murdock, Republican eandi-
date FOR congress in the Seventh kiis~
trict. and Thomas Wilson. chairmaH Of
the new congressional central comInit-
tee, We're in Topeka Thursday night in
consulta ton with Morton Albaugh with
reference to the campaign to be con-
Quoted during the next five weeks.
They returned 70 Wichita on an early
train this morning.
The campaign viii not be one Of
speech ma king said Mr.. Albaugh to-
day Not because Mr.. Murdock is not
a speech maker, but because the people
are too busy to go to political meetings
at this time of year. There are 80
counties in the district and there are
only 3S working days between now and
election. Mr.. Murdock will visit every
county if possible. but instead of try
ing to make speeches he viii simply
get acquainted with the leaders and the
voters as far as possible and find out
the needs Of each county. Then the
congressional committee will put forth
it's efforts to get the Republican vote
out on election day. and / viii try to
do the same through our state organi-
zation in the Seventh district
I do not anticipate that the Demo-
Gratis and PoDulists viii try to do very
much except to maintain their organi-
zations- The voters of those parties
know. of course. that there is no hope
of doing anything besides maintain
their organization and the majority Of
them viii not go to the polls

GUESTS IN A PANIC.
Fire Stampedes People at Vic
tOria Hotel.

New York, April 10.-Three hundred
guests of the Victoria hotel We're routed
from bed today by smoke from near
by fire and all the other occupants Of
the buildings in the block bounded by
Twenty sixth and Twenty
streets. Broadway and Fifth avenue.
We're frightened. In an apartment
house at Twenty-s street and Fifth
avenue, there was great excitement
partly due to another fire scare there
recently, and the tenants rushed for the
elevators. In the Victoria hotel annex
were many actors and actresses who
assured there was no danger and in
other buildings women We're carried
down through smoke to safety. The
fire was in a building on Fifth avenue
between Twenty-sixth and Twenty
seventh streets, used as a storage ware
house for paintings and antiquities and
the damage is estimated at 800, 900.
One of the smol1e-routed tenants in
the apartment building was Capt. E. I.
Zatinski, inventor of the dynamite gun.
He is a cripple, and in spite of his OBJ
papers. a fireman picked him up and
carried him to the street On the top
floor Of the apartment house the police
found a woman and her daughter
chasing two prize AngOra cats, each
woman holding a basket for carrying E
the pets. On account Of the smoke they
were warned to get out and leave the
cats, but they refused and a policeman
had to catch the animals and see them
and their owners safely to the street.

The convention organized by the elec-
ton of Dick Rich of Conanche county
as chairman and Henry Block of Syra-
cuse as secretary. The usual routine OF
business Of appointing committees was
disposed of and the former state and
national Democratic platforms were
reaffirmed" Then came the contest
for the nomination. The fusion Demo-
Gratis wanted to endorse w. J. Babb. of
Wichita. who was nominated by the
Populists at their convention at Hutch
inson last Saturday. The anti-fusiOn
Democrats wanted to nominate a
straight-out Democrat and leave the
Poounsts alone.
Finally a telegram was sent to Judgs
Babb. offering him the nomination If he
would make the race as a Democrat on
the Democratic ticket. and an adjourn
ment was taken until evening to await
his reply. Late in the evening Judge
Babb replied, refusing the terms on
which the nomination was offered, but
saying that he would accept an eu-
dorsement-
The Democrats would not agree to
this as It would be virtually abandon
ing their party and place on the ticket,
and they do not wish to do that with
national campaign coming on If they
cOuiu nave got JutSc odDD ~ mani ttiC
race as a Democrat it would have been
great victory for them, because Judge
Babb is chairman of the Populist state
central committee and has been one Of
the most ardent advocates of the con-
tinuance of the Peoples party organi-
zation.
Then the balloting commenced for the
nomination for a straightout Democrat
for the Democratic nomination. Three
names were presented-James Clark OF
Great Bend. NJ F Belisle of L-arned and
Charles F. Clyns of Stafford Clyne
was nominated on the fourth ballot.
Like Victor AIurdock, Clyne is only 81
years old. He is a. lawyer by profession
and has already taken a high rank as a
campaign orator in the southwest. He
is wen educated. having graduated from
the University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor in both the liberal arts and law
schools

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

-The missing Schrieber girl has returned, after short stay in New York. She was working in store there, but didn't like 1t; so you see that while New York is pig place it is not half as good spot to live in as Waterbury.
 There was another reported elope- ment in this part of the town to-day, but after inquiring into 1t the man on the Brooklyn briefs learned that there was nothing to it, except, perhaps, that a young couple who have been on the outs for the past two or three years have patched up their differ ences and will 'step off" soon after Christmas. A Brooklyn belle told the reporter this morning that resident of this part of the town hardly can go out shopping now without running the risk of being charged with planning to elope with somebody.

The toastmaster and nearly all the other members of the party contributed to the exercises, which included address es, songs and recitations. It was voted to hold another banquet next year. Tn the meantime permanent quarters will have been secured and fitted up, so that 1t is likely that the next annual banquet given by the ex- members of Protector will be held in their own rooms.

The doctors directions are always carried out with absolute accuracy and the utmost care is taken that there are no mistakes. The prices are the lowest.
