While these two men are the princl-
threatens to effectually disrupt the
party in the main fight, which is to
come, there is that underneath it all
which means more to at least some Of
those interested than the success of
certain senatorial aspirants.
The original Foster men are COM
posed to a great extent Of the men who
stood by Charles E. Coon. republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, in
his fight this spring for the privilege of
naming his own delegates to the state
convention. In this they won out and
elected Coon chairman of the conven-
ton over DR.. L. T. Seavey. who was
then. as he is now, chairman of the
county central committee.
When it comes to politics, DR.. Seavey
and O'Rear are bedfellows. They are
sore afraid now lest the party organiz-
alton slip away from them in the con-
test in the convention on October f.
The retention of the Craftsmanship
means political prestige for Seavey
and political munitions of war for
O'Rear and his paper.
The original Foster men who are
backing Bartlett declare they have no
interest in any issue outside of Bart
let's selection. They disown all
claims to the end that they are fixing
UP a slate for the whole county ticket
However this may be, it is hard to ex-
pect them to overlook a chance of
gaining control Of the organization
should it offer. AS they are confident

JEFFERSON COUNTY REPUBLI-
CANS GO CAMPAIGNING ONA
UNITED STATES STEAMER.
Daring Factions Have Cat and Dog
Time Over Sensational
Question.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 2S.-1t
has been said that the republicans have
a record for making use of government
utilities for private gains. Those who
make homes in these parts have long
been inoculated with this general par
ty spirit, and opportunities are sell
dom lost to gain pleasure and save
money by making use of government
property when occasion offers.
The latest example worthy of note
in this connection occurred week ago
Saturday night, when Congressman
Jones was scheduled to address the
voters of HadlOck, a mill town on Port
Townsend Bay, seven miles from this
city The county central committee ad-
vertised in both the party papers here
in order to secure a crowd to take in
the meeting, stating that accommodate
tions would be provided. Instead of en-
gaging a small steamer or other means
Of conveyance, a certain government
steamer, which is never under any con-
sideration used for private excursions,
was placed at the disposal of the COM
mittee and these gentlemen with Mr..
Jones and a number Of the faithful
made the journey to the mill town and
back in this manner.
If half of the thinly yelled utterances
of shaky records and sinister motives
hurled by the two scrapping factions
of the republican party in this county
at each other these days are true, then
the democrats of jefferson should have
a walkover this fall. AS noted in the
papers, heretofore, the preliminary
skirmishes were commenced some ten
days or two weeks since. Since that
time all hands interested have warmed
up to the subject, and at this time To-
cal interest in doings at Mukden has
almost entirely subsidized in the Whirl
of excitement incidental to the clashing
of the two factions.

Santa Fe Operators Say They

Claim Road Is Dropping All
Members of o. II. T.
HAS TAKEN WARNING.
Letters of Inquiry Being Sent to
Agents and Operators.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
I'm Railroad Circles.

Kansas City, Aug S.-According to a
member of the Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers, the Santa Fe is dropping all
operators and station agents on its sys-
tenn who are members of that order. 1t
is said the Santa Fe has taken warning
by the trouble it had with its organized
machinists and by the telegraph OPP
orators strike now in progress on the
Katy" and intends to break up the
organization on the system before the
telegraphers are strong enough to cause
any trouble.
I'VE are getting letters every day
from Santa Fe headquarters asking
very plainly if we are members of the
o. r. T. or if we ever belonged to the
order" he said. 1T does no good to
tell story about it, for if a fellow is
a member, or has been it is not very
hard for the Santa Fe to find this out,
and when it does, off goes the operators
head.
THE Santa Fe is making no particu-
lar noise about this movement, but is
sending the letters of inquiry to all
operators and station agents, as many
of the latter also belong to the o. r. T.
Many operators have already been let
out, after it was learned that they were
o. r. T. men.
Il have two men in my mind now
who worked many years steadily for
the road, but were suddenly let out"

PARKER'S SUNDAY.
Candidate Went to Church in a Steam
Launch.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. S.-Prepara-
tons for the coming to Rosemount of
the notification committee occupied
the attention of Judge Parker Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Rode, of New
York, were his guests for the after
noon. Mr.. Rode is a member of the
New York Democratic state executive
committee, and expects to take an ac-
tive part in the campaign in New York
state. He will be in charge of the
Sycamore, which will bring the COM
mittee from New York on Wednesday.
The boat will land it's passengers at
the Esopus dock, and then anchor in
midStream until the ceremonies have
been concluded.
William F. Sheehan, chairman of
the national executive committee,
called on Judge Parker late in the af
ternoon. He will return to New York
today, when the committee will hold
it's first meeting.
Judge George Gray, of Delaware,
and former Secretary Daniel S. La
mont, who had arranged to visit Rose
mount, were unable to make cOnnec-
ton to reach there, and it is possible
now they will not be able to consult
with Judge Parker until the notifica-
ton ceremonies. Judge Gray is stay
ing with Mr.. Lamont at Millbrook,

Judge Parker and members of his
family attended church services at
Kingston, making the trip in the steam

Dalhart, Tex, Aug. S.-Rock Island
railroad circles are again stirred up
in a local manner, and the E. P. &

Thos. c. Sunderland, who for the past
twelve years has been connected with
the Rock Island mechanical depart
ment at Goodland, Colorado Springs,
and Dalhart as chief clerk, has been
offered the chief clerkship of the E. P.

ment at Alamogordo, N. M, at a hand
some increase in salary, and leaves for

land commenced railroad work when
II years old Always attentive to
business, courteous to his co-employes,
he numbers his friends by the score.
He stands high as a Royal Arch Ma

an AL secretary and companion whose
influence in the upbuilding and adj
vancement of Masonry has been most
noteworthy.
1t is also announced this morning
by the mechanical department of the

A. Peal, former clerk at Dalhart, has

Lee, night operator, and Granville J.
Mulhern, baggageman for the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe at this place
have been placed in the Kay county
Jail at Newkirk on a larceny charge
They are said to have confessed to the
special agent of the company to hav-
ing ransacked baggage that was left
in the depot and to having taken con-
siderable property. Property to the
value of about 500 was recovered. 1t
was owned by a party of Omaha In
dams, who arrived several days ago
to visit the Poncas. They left their
baggage in the depot and while it was
there a number of articles of Indian
wearing apparel were taken. Included
in the list is war bonnet belonging
to one of the head men of the tribe.
Lee and Mulhern both say they are
from Philadelphia. They said they
wanted to take the Indian relics back
home.

POTTER'S DEFENSE.
The Bishop Says He Does Not Regret
His Saloon Dedication.

New York, Aug. S.-Bishop Henry c..
Potter, who a few days ago spoke at
the opening of the new subway tavern
at Bleecher and Mulberry streets, is
not at all disconnected because of the
adverse criticisms of his action. In re-
ply to request for a statement from
him in answer to his critics, the bishop
authorized the following publication:
Il have publicly said that 1 never
dreamed of regarding the present Sa-
loon as either a blessing or a necessity,
and no word of mine, whether uttered
recently or at any other time, warrants
any such inference.
Il have simply regarded it as inevi-
table and necessary evil, until it is dis
placed by something better.
ITO close it, whether Sundays or any
other particular days, is not to displace
it by something worthy of public re-
spect and legal protection, and my con-
troverSy is simply with those who have
no other aim in dealing with a mis-
chievous institution than to suppress it,
whereas the only hope of reform here is
in displacement by substitution.
And it is no exaggeratiOn to say that
nothing which has occurred during this
century has done more to restore the
Church of England and the sympathy
of the common people and the friend
ship and respect of the multitudes who
are not of her fold than the organiza-
ton and work of the Church of Eng
land Temperance society.
Founded in no narrow spirit of in
tolerant prescription, it has welcomed
men to it's fellowship, whether they
were total abstainers of nonabstainers.
It has been content to point men to the
admitted evils of natural intemperance
and then to associate them in practical
measures for their diminution.
1T has not assumed to say that those
measures could only be of one kind, nor
that intemperance could be dealt with
in only one way. 1t has seen that re-
form is a principle which may have
many Illustrations and may employ
many dissimilar agencies. And, today,
the future of England and of English
homes is just SO much brighter, because
wise and large-hearted men have joined
together in behalf of the work of tenn
perance REFORM"

Chicago, Aug. SIT is stated that

EXPECT A LARGE CROWD.
OIL Producers Association to Meet al
Chanute Tomorrow.


Chanute, Kan, Aug. S.-James A.
Birmingham, assistant secretary OF
the Oil Producers association, tempo
rarily organized at Independence on
July 80, and which adjourned to meet
at Chanute on August to perfect the
organization, said today:
From reports received by me from
the various towns in the oil belt
feel justified in saying that the attend
ance at the meeting to be held here
next Tuesday will exceed that of any
other Independent oil meeting ever
held in the country. Letters are COM
ing in every mail, saying that the
towns are all going to be on hand with
strong delegations.
THE convention will meet without
a fixed programme. None of the
work will be marked out for it, An
organization of some kind will be
formed, but just along what lines it is
impossible now to determine. The
one idea is to have an association
which will protect the interests of the
production of crude petroleum. What
form this will take is a matter for the
convention to decide. One thing is
certain, and that is that there are no
cut-and-dried schemes for the con-
vention to indorse. The meeting will
be a mass meeting of oil producers
and those interested in production,
and nothing more. BY the terms of
the resolution adopted at Independ-
ence, every person financially interest
ed in oil production, whether he is
actually a producer or not, is entitled
to a seat in the convention and to
participation in its deliberations. This
lets in the promoters and even the
stockh olders of producing companies"

ORIENT PROGRESS GRATIFYING
More Than 100 Western Men Are
Stockholders.

Kansas City, Aug. S.-More than
LOO western shippers, merchants and
farmers are interested, as stockhold-
ers, in the success of A. E. StilwelPs
Orient railway enterprise. These men
live in Missouri, Kansas, Texas Ok
lahoma, Indian Territory and Ne
braska. Such a showing has never
prise in THIS country and is indicative
of the interest felt in the enterprise
which will connect Kansas City with
the ports of the Orient.
The construction progress of the
road is very satisfactory to Mr.. Still
well and his associates. by Septern-
Der l." said Mr.. Stilwen yesterday,
Orient tracks will connect Wichita,
Kan, with Fairview, Okla. This will
give us a continuous stretch of 14O
miles of rail. BY the same date fif-
south of Fairview. In Mexico con-
struction progress is equally as salts
factory. Several syndicates of Eng
lish capitalists have recently invested
in mineral properties near the Orient
road in Mexico and one company, of
which John Hayes Hammond, prob
ably the most noted American mining
engineer, is a member, has acquired
large interests east and west of Chi
huahua.
"Our steamer service on the Pacific
coast is already a success continued
Mr.. Stilwell. 1--WE practically carry
the bulk of the travel between Topolo-
bampo and other ports on a coast line
500 miles in extent. In fact, every
auxiliary interest of the Orient enter
prise is prospecting and the work is
going ahead at rate which is crafty
ing to all concerned"

BILE. MIR. Wright has been in Garden
City since the early summer making
experiments in pumping.
The fact that the survey is to be
made Immediately will be good news to
the people of the semi-arid district
which will be affected. Hundreds OF
people in that part of the state have
contended for years that the underf1Ow
was sufficient to furnish the water nee
essary for irrigatfng the surface The
natural slope of the land from the
mountains in Colorado is from the west
TO the east They held that by going
into the side of that slope the under
flow would be tapped and the water
could be piped to the surface. This
would make unnecessary pumps and
pumping stations. The water would be
raised or rather poured out on the sur
face below 1t by gravitatiOn. The idea
is a new one and never has been tried
in any part of the country up to this
time. 1t has been talked by western
Kansas for many years, but it was not
until Congressman Murdoch and Mr..
Mead took up the matter that the gov
eminent took notice of it.

thing have done since was elected to

him.
