ANTHONY is IN 1T.
His Candidacy for Congress at Last
Announced.

Immediately following the announce
ment of the candidacy of Judge w. l.
Stuart of Doniphan county for the Re
publican congressional nomination,
comes the announcement of the candi-
dacy of Mayor d. r. Anthony, Jr-. Of
LeavenWorth, son of the famous Col.
D. r. Anthony. who has been prominent
in Kansas affairs for upwards of half
century.
The announcement of Anthony's cap-
didacy is no surprise. In fact ever
since his election as mayor of Leaven-
worth last spring by an overwhelming
majority, which proved that he could IN
all prObd bility control LeaVenWOrth
county, it has been a foregone conclu-
sion that he would be candidate
against Congressman Curtis for the con-
gressional nomination next year Sena-
tor Wulfekuhler has been talked Hof as
a congressional candidate from Leaven-
worth county. but it is said now that
he will simply ask for denomination
to the state senate
Anthony's fight viii be directed prin-
cipally against Curtis. Heretofore the
Anthony influence, and that of their
paper the Leavenworth Times. has al
ways been for Mr.. Curtis in his fight
in the First district, but now Mr. Cur
tbs has no more bitter opponents In the
district than the Anthonys-not even
Cyrus Leland himself Ever since D. r.
Anthony, Jr.. was turned out of the
Ieavenworth postoffice by Mr.. Curtis
they have been fighting him.
The Leavenworth Times has not yet
directly mentioned Anthony's candidacy
for congress, but in closing an editorial
on Judge Stuart's announcement it
says:
But Leavenworth has more than
passing interest in the next Republican
convention to nominate a congressman
from this district. For the first time
in many years Leavenworth is in a
position of great power and stra teglc
value in the Republican politics of the
district The vote of this county VIII
undoubtedly nominate the next con-
gresham. In other words, on account
of the political division between the
Curtis faction and what is known as
the Roosevelt Bailey faction in the va
rious counties of the district, Leaven-
worth with her 81 votes Will hold the
balance of power.
"And there are most important rea-
sons why Leavenworth should take ad-
account of the location here of Fort
Leavenworth, the National Soldiers
home and the federal prison. the great
est government institutions of their
kind in the United States. it is highly
fitting and proper that this city have a
representative at Washington to look
after these institutions
Yes, LeavenwOrth Will without doubt
have a candidate for congress; but who
he will be is not known just now. But
that the Republicans of IeaVenworth
county will be alive to the opportunity
presented and that they will agree on
an acceptable candidate at the proper
time is a practical certainty

Driftwood was piling up under The

Bag Bag swung himself out over the
swift current and down near the water
where he could assist in the work Of
saving the bridge. He did good work

for an hour and guided a large log I'M
der the bridge in such way that it did
no damage. He stepped too far out on
the end of a plank which had been
loosened by the driftwood and before he
hardly realized his predicament he was
up to his ears in the muddy, swift wa
ter near the middle of the stream
After battling with the torrent for a
few minutes he pulled himself to the
trestle work, which insured his safeIy.
The summer suit of light flannel which
he wore during the work looked very
much like the khaki uniform of a regu-
lar soldier after being soaked in the
