AGAINST Mr.. SMITH.
Judge Andrews May Be the OPP
posing Candidate.

Sam /. Hale, of La Crosse, the Sew
enth district Populist leader, was in
Topeka today. He has been attending
federal court at Wichita and ran in to
Topeka and Kansas City before re-
turning home.
Hale's friends are still urging him to
run for state senator against Fred Du-
mont Smith in the big Thirty eighth
senatorial district, but he says he cau-
not afford it. From the way he talks
it looks as though he might be per-
Suaded to take the nomination, but he
says his personal preference is Judge
]. E. andrews of Lacrosse.
L am not keeping out of it because
am afraid I would be beaten" said
Mr.. Hale today, for I think any good
Populist or Democrat can defeat Sena-
tor Smith, but can't afford to make
the race for an office that there is SO
little in. l can't afford it like Smith
can. The district takes in Is counties,
and ones legitimate expenses in MAX
ing the campaign would count up. If
[ were rich 1 would like to run, but
I have to make a living, and by the
time you pay a lot of campaign ex-
penses in IS counties your salary at SO
day for so days is gone several times
over, and you have nothing left to pay
expenses during the Legislature.
Il think Smith will be defeated be-
cause the people of the district are OPP
posed to that tax bill, and Senator
declared that he will make another eff
fort to have it passed if he is return
ed to the senate, and the people of the
western part of the state don't want
it. That is why any good man can
beat Smith.
Personally I want to see Judge An
drews nominated against Senator
Smith. Andrews was on the bench for
eight years and he is a good campaign
er. I believe he could easily be
elected"
DO you expect to come back to the
house, if you don't run for senator?"
Mr. Hale was asked.
II don't know YETI he said, "but I
suppose so. 1t isn't as expensive run
ming for representative as for senator
in eighteen counties. If I had my
preference I would rather be county at
torney or something with a decent sal
airy attached in which I could keep up
my law practice, but some of the fell
lows in my county have served notice
on me that I'll have to come back to
the legislature"

GLOBE TROTTER DEAD,
Journey of Man Who Walked
$4,000 Miles Ends.

n. S. Dou Bay. globe trotter," and
a Russian Cossack by birth, died sud
denly last night about midnight in a
cheap lodging house at 80 Kansas ave-
nue., where he had been sleeping since
Monday. Dou Bay came in late last
night and went to bed A few minutes
after he lay down another man who
was sleeping in the same room heard
him gasping for breath, and an investi-
cation showed that he was in dying
condition. A physician was called, but
the man was dead before his arrival.
Dou Bay had no valuables of any con-
sequence about his person, but carried
a lot of papers, proofs of his identity
and letters, under the official city SEAL
from every first class city where he had
stopped during his travels. He had a
letter from Mayor Bergundtha1 which
was written at o'clock yesterday after
noon, when Dou Bay visited the may
or's office. The package also contained
letters from the Russian consuls at Chi
cago and San Francisco, and introduce
tons from several foreign mobiles. The
dead man was of pleasing appearance,
mild and friendly in his manner, and
wore long hair He Travelled on foot,
and was bound eastward when he
stopped here. The body was taken in
charge by Willis & Conwell, under
takers, and will be held pending an in
vestigation by Coroner Hogeboom,
which will be made this afternoon. The
last town visited by Dou Bay before
coming to Topeka was Manhattan.
The following is from the Manhattan
Nationalist:
A rather small man with a golden
oak complexion and a Wild Bill head
of hair done up in Sing Lee style,
walked into the mayor office Satllr-
day morning and asked for tranSporta-
ton to Topeka. He said he had just
walked 81, 700 miles and wanted to ride
for a change. The mayor was not
greatly impressed. He had frequently
heard Elliott-Lantz stories of the long
walk variety, and a small matter of
81, 700 miles seemed mild in comparison.
But N. Dou Bay proceeded to tell the
rest of his story and presented his
card which reads as follows:
IN Dou Bay, Russian Cacasian, So
cialogist, Traveller, Student, History,
Human Nature, Left Caucasus, August
Is, 1903. Then Walked 900 Miles Up
to October 49, 1908. Assistance or WORK
of Any Kind Solicited
He produced a packet of certificates
the larke cities and many small ones
in the western part OF the United
States and Canada showing that he had
favored them with a call He carries
around enough big gold seals, attached
to such documents, to paper house
boat.
When he gets tired of walking N.
Dou expects to go home and write a
book on what he has seen 1t is IN
derstood that De and Mayor Fielding
parted on such good terms that the
mayor confidently expects@the book to
be dedicated to him. N. Dou makes
barbarous assaults on the English Ian
gauge when he is questioned as to his
story, but is otherwise harmless. = He
would appear quite civilized if some
good soul would teach him the use OF
soap. =ssa

HYPNOTIZED HIS WIFE.
Strange Performance on a Santa Fe
Passenger Train.

A number of passengers on santa Fe
train No. yesterday were nystified by
the hypnotic performance given by a
passenger who got on the train, accom-
panied by a lady, presumably his wife,
at Lawrence.
AS soon as the couple found seat in
the car and before the train pulled out,
the man rose, placed the arms of his
wife in a comfortable position, and then
proceeded to fix her so she would stay
put" Making a few motions he began
to massage the brow of his better half,
and then closed by making a few more
high-signs in the air before her eyes.
Then he retired to the smoker, without
even looking back, seemingly confident
that he knew just where to find her if
he ever wanted her again.
Probably a dozen passengers Witness
ed the free exhibition, and watched the
woman closely to see if she moved She
did not, and when the train reached
Topeka a brakeman approached and
asked her if she wished to get off at
Topeka. She continued to gaze stolidly
at the car stove and never batted an
eye None of the passengers attempted
to get the name of the hypnotist, who
could no doubt sell his method for good
money to husbands who wish to go out
between the acts and ''see a man. with
out danger OF being followed by their
wives.
