stated yesterday that he would bring
his entire string of horses to Churchill
Downs on Wednesday or Thursday, and
that they would be prepared at the 10
cal track for the seasons campaign.
The horses of the firm are now quar-
tered at its stock farm near Beard S
Station, several miles from the city,
but all have been taken up and they
will be brought in to the Downs this
week. In the list will be ten thorough
breds, which include the following well
known animals:
The Pickett, Santon, Pason, Shooting
Star, and other high class performers,
as well as a number of promising 2
year-olds. Thus it is that The Picket,
the great Derby winner, and cOnqueror
of Africander, will receive his spring
preparation here. and will race during
the coming spring meeting at the
Downs.

the winner of the American Derby is

CHICAGO WANTS coRB EFT.
Fight Promoters Would Like to See
Him in the Ring.

Chicago, Feb. 10-Harry Tuthill, the
trainer of Young Corbett, arrived in the
city yesterday on his way to San Fran
cisco to train the featherweight champion
for his coming fight with Dave Sullivan.
He stated that it was possible that Cor
bett might meet the winner in Chicago
some time in March.
Tuthill says that while the Corbett-Britt
match is off for the present, he believes
that the contest will be arranged for a
later date and that after the bout the
champion will fight his way back to New
York. COrbett is particularly anxious to
get a bout with George Memsic, the local
boy who gained some prominence from a
fight with the champion last year in the
west. On the other hand, according to
Tuthill, COrbett will be willing to meet al
most any of the local men of his weight
unless it be Yanger, and that he will look
with favor upon a short bout here to
break his journey eastward.
''COrbett can still make l26 pounds,
said Tuthill, and he won the feather
weight title ct that figure can see no
reason why he can not keep it. lie Is
planning on meeting Britt, not because
Britt is heavier. but because he is a good
drawing card on the coast. Corbett has

JOHNSON MIDDLE.
OIathe Mirror Gives Its Version
of the Trouble.

The Olathe Mirror, which maintains
that it has taken no part in the con-
gressional troubles in the Second dis
trict but which is generally credited
with leaning towards Mr.. Bowersock,
tells about the same version of the
johnson county convention as is told
by the friends of Henry Allen.
This is a matter of considerable i'm.
whether Bowersoek shall go to con-
gre=s for another term or whether
Allen shall receive the nomination
There will be a contest over seating
either delegation from Johnson county,
and therefore the truth about the way
the convention was conducted is i'm
portant.
1t is announced that E. H. Funston
of Allen county has withdrawn from
the race. and now the issue will be
squarely drawn between BowersOck
and Allen. To be sure, Wyandotte
county has two candidates who are
fighting for the Wyandotte county del
egation, but Wyandotte is so uncertain
that it is not looked upon as important
except for trading purposes.
The Mirror severely criticises F. r.
Ogg. the chairman of the Johnson
county convention. Bowersock man.
for his arbitrary rulings. 1t says:
1.-The Mirror. as every reader knows,
has taken no part in the factional fight
in johnson county Republicanism. It
has been particularly careful to take
no position upon the congressional
fight waged in this county between the
friends of Mr.. Bowersock and the
friends of Mr.. Allen. In reporting the
result of the primaries of Saturday,
the 23d of January, the Mirror declared
the result as between Mr. Bowersock
and Mr.. Allen to be very close The
prediction proved correct. In the con-
vention Saturday there was no contro-
versy until the question of congress
sional endorsement arose Delegations
were divided on this issue. Hardly a
/ delegation was unit on this subject
Take for example the Third ward in
Olathe. There were seven Bowersock
man and Eve Allen men. although the

Red Bird has a phenomenal record.

Young Corbett violated his agreement
with Jimmy Britt to not engage in a fight

Fort Scott, Feb. 1O.-The supreme
council of the Triple Tie Mutual Bene-
fit association is in session here.
Jake Conine is the home candidate
for the office of supreme council presi-
dent, but hot fight is being made on
him, friendly, however, by the friends
Of A. L. WOodford, of Burlington, and
Mr.. J. G. Rodemyer of Topeka. All
three want the Office which is now be-
ing held by Mr.. r. L. Marsilman, of
Kansas City Kan. The candidates. of
the two Fort Scott members are pro-
nOunced ana both are somewhat handi-
capped. Miss DR.. Nora RACER is a can
didate for supreme medical examiner
and both are not likely to be successful,
as there is no probability that the two

The home delegates have been instruct
ed to use all honorable means to bring
about the election of both candidates
Miss RACERS opponent is Mrs. Anna X
Masterson. of Kansas City, and she
and her friends are here making ane
zhowing.
For the Office of supreme secretary
the candidates are the present lnculn-
bent, G. NJ. Stratton, Of Clay Center
and c. r. Riggs. of EmpOria. Both are
active in the contest. II. Baseman 5
name has been mentioned as mem-
Der of the auditing committee ana II
will be presented to the convention
His chances of receiving the honor are
good.
Most of the supreme officers are sim
ply honorary, there being no salary at
tached to them, with the exception or
supreme medical examiner. This is a
good paying office. Miss RACER is the
present incumbent.
It is understood that the compensa-
ton for the work of supreme president
will be increased at this meeting, al
though it viii be based on actual time
put in It is also the intention to make
him organizer for all of the territory
of the jurisdiction that is at present I'M
developed and il is said that the fees
will be brought UP to about $4,000 a
year So it is readily to be understood
that the office is worth going after.
There are about siXty-fiVe delegates
in the convention but almost 200 votes.
The report of the secretary showed a
remarkable growth of the order since
the last meeting, the membership hav-
ing been almost doubled. The financial
condition of the lodge was also shown
to be good. Fort Scott has the largest
mem bership of any of the subordinate
lodges, there being about 600 members.
The most of these were taken in since
the last meeting OF the supreme coun-
ell, showing that Fort Scott is the ban
ner town for work in the last two
years.

New York, Feb 10-An interesting
illustration of the immediate and Wig
orous steps taken by the newspaper
prOprietors of Baltimore to resume
business when they found their plants
burned is found in the experience of
Charles II. Grasty, the publisher of the
Baltimore News, a director of the AS

ranged promptly with the Washington
Post to continue his publication tenn
pOrarily. Then he boarded the midnight
train for New York and arrived here
early Monday morning. Meanwhile he
had the good fortune to secure an OPP
ton on a large vacant building in Bal
timOre. Upon reaching here, the first
thing he did was to telegraph Adolpn
S. Ochs at his residence. Then a con-
versation was held, substantially as
follows:
Hello. is this Mr.. Ochs?''
Yes. who is it?"
"Grasty, the Baltimore News

This was followed, in the daily pa

not let up in their fight on Bailey's
friends; not to let one of the latter get
on any delegation. or hold any posi-
ton. This may be good politics; and
may aid in destroying factionists, but
it is a mighty poor platform on which
to fight factionalism. Every true Re-
publican in Kansas is ready to support
Hoch, and to do it heartily and earn
estly; but they don't care to have it
rubbed in, and be read out of the party
because they have not been original
