For Shooting Craps.
tertaineC

Charles Finner, alias "Balaam," and
his brother IN law. Isaac Former, were
brought up from Kiowa by Special
Constable Downtain last Wednesday
and turned over to Sheriff Haun. They
were arrested under the anti. gambling
law, the penalty for which is imprison.
ment in the peultentiary. It is not
likely, however, that they will be
prosecuted under that law, so that
the "cull'd gem'men" will probably be
asked to plead guilty to crap shooting
when court convenes and serve jail
sentence. The anti gambling law
seems to be dead letter.

MOURNED BY ALL IRELAND.

Death of Mrs. Gardiner Of Belmore Is
Deeply Regretted.
The death of Mrs. Gardiner, wife of
J. G. Gardiner, resident magistrate of
Belmore, is greatly regretted in Ire
land, especially among those who re-
call her noble heroism during the
smallpox scourge which visited Ath-
enry over quarter Of a century back.
At the time there were no hospital
and no nurses in the picturesque town,
but through the exertions of this brave
woman, who remained in the desert
ed village regardless of all personal
danger, the epidemic was ultimately
stamped out. Among Mrs. Gardeners
most cherished possessions was the
beautiful ruby and diamond necklet
and cross presented by the people OF
all classes of County Galway as ga
token of admiration for her heroic
charity"

mo MORE YELLOW DOG
Cyrus Leland Says That Day in Kan
sas Politics Is Past.

In discussing the result of the cleo
ton in Kansas today, Cyrus Leland
said:
1.-The election of the Republican state
ticket was easy because of the popu-
larity of President Roosevelt. Roose-
velts popularity carried thousands of
votes for the Republican state ticket.
1t carried Kelly through, for otherwise
Kelly would have been beaten.
THE great number of voters who
scratched Kelly shows that the day of
the yellow dog candidate is past so far
as running with his ticket is concerned.
No party ought to nominate men who
are not honest or who have bad rep
utation. The people will resent it, just
as thousands have resented Kelly
nomination.
ION the other hand, some men of
prominence defended Kelly and asked
the voters to vote for him, and upon
them lies the responsibility for his
election. Doubtless many people are
doubtful about the charges against
Kelly, and because of the support he
received from prominent men they
voted for him. The people were told
about Burton before his election to
the senate just as they have been told
about Kelly, and some of these same
men are responsible for Burton also.
Men ought not to be elected to
look after the interests of the public
who cannot look after their own in
terests successfully
Mr.. Leland says that his town, Troy,
gave the following vote: Roosevelt
40, Parker 90, Hoch $40, Dale 148,
Kelly PAL. Dolan 256. Curtis 346, Har-
vey 1877.
1.-The Curtis men made trades with
the Democrats said Mr.. Leland, land
they got a good many Democratic
votes for Curtis and Kelly. They got
up a fight on township officers and
made trades on them. 1 got .$66 votes
in Troy, but none of them came from
Curtis men. There was no one run
ming against me, but the Curtis men
would not vote for me-

NO BUSINESS ALARM.

IFrom the Chicago Tribune
For the first time in years and for one
Of the few times in history the business
interests of the country have gone
through a presidential campaign with
out exhibiting the customary timidity
and restraint.
During the summer and fall months
of the campaign four years ago bank
ers were cautious about loans and held
ample stocks of money until after cleo
ton. During the campaign of 1896 the
money market was exceedingly timid
and interest rates were often at panic
prices. No enterprises of any moment
We're launched and the commercial
world waited with fear and trembling
the results of the election.
This year the bogy of the presiden-
tial campaign has been stripped of its
terrors. Money has been at the lowest
rates known and bankers have been
worried over it's abundance. The gen
eral advance in all kinds of securities,
which started four OF five months ago,
has continued unchecked to the eve of
the election. Business has apparently
been oblivious to the fact that ma
tionaI campaign was in progress.

He HAS 100000.
Roosevelt's Plurality in Kansas
--Hoch Has 10000.
kelIy's Plurality at Least SO,-
900 Under ROOsevelt's.

Returns have been compiled on "A
of the los counties of the state. From
these it is estimated that Roosevelt's
plurality is close to the 100000 mark.
Hoch's is a little above $4,000, and
Kelly's is about $4,000.
These IA counties include nearly all
the important counties of the state.
The only ones lacking outside the
Sixth and Seventh districts are Chau-
tauqua, Cherokee, Coffey, Wabaunsee,
Clay and Riley. Nearly all of the bal
ance of the missing counties are in
the extreme west, and the majorities
will be comparatively small.
SO far as is known, every county in
the state went for Roosevelt. The
only one which may be an exception
was Ellis county, which has always
been Democratic. The president made
a great hit with the Russians in Ell
lis when he went through Kansas last
year, and even Ellis may have given
him a majority.
The IA counties which have reported
give Roosevelt a plurality of 1858.
This has been estimated in some in
stances and the figures may be changed
slightly, but in the main they are coz
rect. 1t is estimated that the balance
will run this UP 9,400, making a total
plurality for Roosevelt of $3.50. An
increase of / 200 in the returns will put
these figures over the 100, 900 mark
The "A counties reporting give Hoch
an aggregate net plurality of 52,S95. 1t
is estimated that the other counties
will increase this 1900, making a total
of 60,095. OF the counties compiled only
Atchison, Nemaha and Sedgwick are
reported for Dale, although Ellis and
perhaps one or two other western
counties may have also gone for him.
Dolan carried fifteen of the IA coun-
ties against Kelly. These fifteen are
Atchison. Edwards. Jackson, Jefferson.
Jewell johnson, Kearny, Kingman,
Marshall, Miami, Nemaha, Pratt, Seds-
wick, Finney, Washington. which counties
gave him a majority of 5,429. The coun-
ties carried by Kelly aggregated %, 25f,
making kelly's net ma ority in the II
counties compiled 19,S295. 1t is esti-
mated that the balance will swell this
by 2,625, making total majority for
Kelly in the state of 22,450.

A Moving Plantation.

II was at Memphis, lending money to
planters for eastern parties. said the
judge, land one day a planter, who had
made r mile front on the Mississippi,
came in to see me about making a raise
of several thousand dollars. After some
talk it was arranged that he should send
on his titles for inspection, but after -FOUR
or five days he wrote me:
Yesterday the river cut % acres OF
land off my property, and 1 suppose I'll
have to get the papers fixed up before
sending them on
Il replied to him, and a week later he
wrote me:
Last night the river cut in on me again
and took my whole plantation across INTO
Arkansas / suppose I'll have to get the
deeds made out accordingly
Ten days assed, and was wondering
what had become of my man, when he
dropped in on me and said:
Colonel, there is another delay, and
it may be a month before l can fix things
up.
:" What has happened this timer
asked.
q The Mississippi cut in on me again
yesterday, and now my plantation mas be-
come a blamed old island in the middle of
the river and between the two states. AS
soon as find which state belong to, and
how long I'm going to be an island, III
go to work on the papers again.
But the papers never came, contIn-
ued the Judge. 1.-TWO weeks passed, and
then 1 got letter saying:
Never mind about that loan The river
has cut in on me again and carried my
plantation rs miles down stream, and III
try and borrow the money elsewhere ana
not bother you any more.
