HIGGINS NAMED.
Governor OdeII Dictates the Nomina-
ton of Successor.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 16.-The Re-
publican state convention adjourned
after nominating unanimously a ticket
for state officers as follows:
Governor-F'rank Higgins, of Cat
taraugus.
Lieutenant Governor-M. Linn, Bruce.
Secretary of State-John F. O'Brien.
Attorney General-Julius NJ. Mayer.
Comptroller-Otto Kelsey.

A. Van AlStyne.
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals
Edgar NJ. Cullen Oem.).
Associate Judge of the Court of APP
peals-William E. Wener.
The unanimous action of the con-
vention in the nomination of Higgins
was made possible by the withdrawal
of former Lieutenant Governor Timo-
thy l. Woodruff at the very last mo-
ment as the convention was preparing
for the roll call for by the resolution.
of the Kings county delegation.

commission was directed to turn the
warrant for the bonds over to Lappin
to be forwarded to them. The total
amount paid for the bonds was some
thing over $4,000.
The bonds purported to be on school
districts in Mitchell, Jewell, Republic
and Osborne counties.
In December a letter came from
man supposed to be in Kansas City,
Offering another block of bonds. The
bonds were supposed to have been sign
ed at different times but the sigma
lures and ink on them were so much
alike that they appeared to have been
signed at the same time An inveStlga-
tion led to the discovery that the bonds
were forged The commissioners then
went back and investigated their other
purchases and discovered more forger-
les. Lappin was asked whom he paid
the money to on the warrants, but he
said he did not know the parties. The
commission recommended that Lappin
be held for the amount the state had
lost They suspected that he knew
something of the forgerieS but not that
he was the principal in the matter.
Pending an investigation of the treas
ury Governor Osborn demanded Lap
pins resignation as treasurer, which
was promptly given. The governor Of
fered the vacancy to p. 1. Bonebrake,
but he refused to take it, and John
Francis was sent for to take charge of
the treasury. Lappin, of course, pro-
tested that he had acted innocently and
knew nothing of the forgeries. The com
miSSionerS were blamed for not being
more careful, and this led to the reso-
luton published above.
The investigation which followed
took several weeks. In the meantime
Lappin'S partner at Seneca, Scrafford
rested for forgery and embezzlement,
and he laid for months in the Shaw
nee county Jail.
The story then came out how the
fnreraria- iCh cd f.
ford and Lappin would go to st. Jo-
seph and put up at a hotel. On one
occasion Lappin sent for bell boy
and asked him to write some names
for him as his eyes were sore. The
boy testified that he wrote one name
eight times on a folded paper. An
other bell boy testified Scrafford had
got him to write letter about school
bonds, ScraffOrd claiming that he had
a sore hand.
Lappin's trial was postponed from
time to time until in the summer of
1876 he and a number of other pris-
oners escaped from the old Shawnee
county Jail. A man who had been
Lappin's guard in the treasury took
him in a spring wagon and the pair
escaped by travelling by night up into
Nebraska, north through Sioux City
and Minneapolis to Duluth, where they
took a steam down the great lakes |
and down the st. Lawrence to Quebec, |
and from there to South America. |
Scrafford had got there previously by |
a more direct route.
That is the story of the Lappin |
frauds on the school fund. The next
legislature passed the law requiring |
that school fund bonds be registered |
with the state auditor before being |
turned over to the treasurer. Now
the treasurer is not supposed to pay |
for any bonds until they have been |
registered in the auditors office |
which gives the state auditor a check |
on the school fund business.

IMPROVED METHODS
Will Greatly Reduce Cost of Work on
Isthnnian Canal

Washington, Sept. 16.-R. NJ.
Arrange, a graduate of one of the
American technical schools, has been
appointed consulting engineer on the
staff of Chief Engineer Wallace in the
Panama canal construction. He is
particularly charged to assist in build
ing an aqueduct to supply the city of
Panama with water. 1t also is pro-
posed in the interest of the health of
the employees to lay pipe lines to sup
ply fresh and pure water to the great
force of laborers at the Culebra cut
and at other camps along the line of
work. Chief Engineer Wallace has
been making estimates of the cost of
the work he already has done with the
result that he feels safe in asserting
that the cost of the canal construction
can be greatly reduced from the
French figures through the employ
ment of modern high grade American
as a substitute for manual

DRILLED IN 81 HOURS.
CoffeyvilIe Well Sent to Depth of 800
Feet in Record Time.

Coffeyville, Kan, Sept 16.-The Burg
hart No. breaks all previous records in
the Coffeyville field for fast drilling. The
well was spudded in last Saturday morn
ing at O'Clock and Wednesday morning
the well was completed to a depth of 60
feet. About five hours of this time was
lost by rain loosening the belt that the
mac hinery could not be run The 6J0 feet
FruXel was the contractor in charge of
the rig.
Wells have possibly been drilled down
in shorter time in this field, but this
breaks all records for this depth. The
we'll shot within two hours after it
was drilled in, which gives it a record
of being completed in SO hours.

Treasurer William Samson estimates
day was about 90 600.
Secretary Charles H. Samson today
secured the consent of Trainer Her
shey, of Dan Patch, for that famous
PAGER to be hitched to his sulky and to
jog a mile Saturday afternoon. Dan
Patch is improving fast and this after
noon and tonight is to be led in front
of the grandstand. Trainer Hershey
thinks that the horse will be well
enough Saturday afternoon to be hitch
ed to his sull1y and to jog a mile.
NJ. w. Savage, the owner of Dan
Patch, left last night for ST. Joseph,
being assured that the horse was out
of danger. Mr.. Savage left instfuc-
tionS with Hershey that he should do
all he could to entertain the crowd
with Dan Patch and while he can not
go a mile against time he will be able
Saturday afternoon to show how he
looks in harness on the move.
Since he was taken sick Dan Patch
has not been outside of his private sta
BILE and no one has been admitted to
see him.
During the races John Strickrott has
taken instantaneousp photographs of all
finishes in order that the judges might
have a record of all the finishes. Not
until the 2:40 trot Thursday afternoon
was there any necessity of using the
2:4O trot Silver Star and 'AxcyeIl
fought it out in the stretch and right
up to the wire. Silver Star came down
with a rush and passed Axcyell. E. e.
Powell, the owner of Axcyell, was GER
tain his horse led under the wire. The
judges thought differently and Mr..
Powell said he would be satisfied with
the photograph of the finish.
The plate was developed and a print
made and it was shown that Silver
Star was a head in the lead of Axcyeil.

COLD CH|LLS RUN DOWN FANS BACKS New York Wins the Frostiest
 Game of Season WILL PLAY AGAIN TODAY Birmingham Players Only Secure Two Hits. While New Workers Get of
 With PIenty-McGinnity
 Will Probably Pitch.
WILL PLAY AGAIN TODAY

Four hundred chilled and shvering ever played in the district of Slagtown yesterday afternoon, and with heavy coats and furs wrapped about them failed to warm up to the occasion. At the end of the ninth inning these rooters of the thirty-thrd degree woke up, shook the icicles from their whiskers and were told that New York had won by score of ' to 0. Nobody seemed to care but felt elated over the opportunity of getting back by the fireside and keeping warm for the night.
 The chill which crept up and down the backs of the spectators found it's way to the diamond and the eighteen or twenty athletes engaged in the contest were soon blowing on their hands and turning up their collars to keep off the wintry blast It was simply rrost. Baseball comes with the rising spring sap and when the sap takes a backslide baseball followeth a similar trend.
 Cold Dinks Unpopular.
 While the cranks were a little disap- pointed over the loss or the game it was like gentle spring zephyr to a cyclone when compared with the misfortune which befell the little dispensers of coca cola. These barelegged youngsters stroll cd around the grounds with baskets of the cold liquid only to meet with looks of whitening scorn from their regular custo- mers. The mere sight of a bottle of coca cola sent an Alaskan chill down the backs  of the faithful and many were longing for hot Tom and Jerry. The little fellows ob- serving that nothing was doing soon hied themselves to a corner and building up a fire managed to keep themselves warm.
 John T. Brush, who watched his favor ties from a sheltered nook In the grand stand, looked like frost bitten bunch of celery but managed to clap his hands occasionally and then sink back in his overcoat.

 the above sketch is one of the best - known baseball men in the United States For years he was owner of the Cincinnati club, but sold out to the Fleischman's and bought control of the New York club, which he is pushing to the front vigorously. He is the real mogul of the National league and has conducted most of the fights against the American league, the rival organization. MT. Brush Is said to be the hardest man in the Uni ted States for a reporter to interview. He usually looks important and every writer gets ready for a story. They are usually disappointed with some remark about the weather or the war in the far east. MT. Brush will go with the team all around the circuit and back to New York.
