GOVERNOR AWAY.
Refuses to discuss Burton's
Conviction or Successor.

As soon as the senate acts in Senator
Burton's case and declares his seat
vacant, it will be up toGovernor Bailey
to make an appointment.
The governor was Informed of the
verdict by a telephone from the State
Journal office at 1920, giving the As
ISOLATED Press bulletin, the first news
received in Topeka.
Governor Bailey left for Hutchinson
at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and would
make no statement at the present time
as to what he would do in case he has
an appointment to make.
Joseph L Bristow, fourth assistant
postmaster general, and Cyrus Leland
are two who are much talked of for
the place in case of a vacancy, bHt
several others are also mentioned.
Governor Bailey has gone to Hutch
inson to meet with the board of man
ayers of the state reformatory there
and acquaint himself with conditions
at that institution. He intends to make
similar visits to all the other state in
situations during the spring. He will
return to Topeka on Wednesday.

A certain young married man in the
West End has signed pledge never
to attend a dance or other public So

reason for this act makes interesting
reading. Mr.. Blank was a gay boy
in his bachelor days, and Mrs. Blank

he didn't linger over accepting.

him a little, for he turned and went
into his wife's room before retiring.
She was lying quiet, apparently asleep.
His heart softened and he leaned over
and kissed her. That moment wrought
his undoing.
His kiss was still warm on her lips

ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER

Domestic manufactures exported in
February, 1904, were greater in value
than in any preceding February, and
formed also a larger per cent of the
total exports than in any preceding
February. For the eight months end
ing with February the total nanufac-
lures also exceeded the total in the
corresponding eight months of any
earlier year. The fiscal year 1900 was
the banner year in exports of manu-
features from the United States, but
from present indications the fiscal
year 1904 will show an even larger
total of manufactures exported. The
month of February shows a total of SO
million dollars worth of manufactures
exported. against "a million dollars in
1900. while for the eight months end
ing with February the total IS 2ss mil
lions. against 26S millions in the same
months ending with February in 1900
These figures. which are presented
by the department of commerce and
labor through its bureau of statistics,
indicate pretty clearly that the fiscal
year 1904 will show a larger total of
manufactures exported than any pre-
ceding year. In the eight months for
which a record is already made the
total exceeds by 20 millions that of the
highest record previously attained,
that of 1900. while the fact that Feb
ruary, 1904. exceeds by millions the
figures of February, 1900, also indicates
that the Increase noted in the earlier
months of the year is continuing in
the latest available months and thus
likely to carry the years total con-
zidara bIx- hauond that Of 1onO
Not only in the grand total of man
ufactured exports does February ex-
coed that of the corresponding month
in any preceding year. but the percent
age which manufactures form of the
total is also larger than in the same
month OF any earlier year.
The exports of manufactures have
grown from u million dollars in value
in February, 1894, to 3S millions in
February, 1904. or over three times as
much in February, 1904, as in Feb
ruary. 1894. For the eight months
ending with February, 1894 the total
value of manufactures exported was
123 million dollars and in the eight
months ending February. 1904, 2ss mill
lions, or two and a third times as
much in 1904 as in 1894. February OF
1890 shows a total expectation of man
ufactures of101s million dollars against
IS millions in 1904. and for the eight
months ending February, 1890, of 100
millions against 2SS millions for the
same month in 1904.
The increase in expectation occurs in
nearly all important articles or great
groups of articles. Over 80 per cent OF
the total value of manufactures is in.
cluded in the ten groups of articles
iron and steel, mineral oils, copper
manufactures. leather and its manu-
features, cotton goods, agricultural
implements. scientific instruments

HATCH UP A FIGHT.
FifthWard Democrats Plan Still Hunt
Against Howe.

There IS said to be a fight brewing
against Samuel T. Howe for councilman
from the Fifth ward. j. S. Behler, the
Democratic nominee, is said to have
hustled out a large Democratic registra-
ton while nobody was looking, and now
he is organizing his forces for the purpose
of defeating Mr.. Howe.
No one has expected there would be any
fight on Howe. and for that reason the
registration in the ward is very light. 1t
is probable that the total is not more
than 200, and if the Democrats have reg
istered in large numbers, as 1t is claimed
they have, it may make an interesting
fight, for it is now too late to register
any more voters.
