DELAWARE FOR GRAY.
Delegates Instructed to Present His
Name for President at st. Louis.

Dover, Della, June 8.-Contrary to
the expressed wish of Judge George
Gray, the Delaware Democratic state
convention by a unanimous vote in
structed its delegates to the St. Louis
convention to present the name of
Judge Gray to the convention as the
choice of the Delaware Democracy
for president and work for his nomi-
nation. This action was taken after
one of the stormiest conventions ever
held. Leader of the opposition to the
Gray nomination was former Senator
Richard r. Kenney, who was opposed
to the word instruct" He offered a
resolution that delegates be request
ed to place Judge Gray's name be-
fore the national convention The
factions became so bitter that the
former paid no attention to Judge
Gray's letter in which he asked that
the delegates be not instructed.
They fought to defeat Kenney and
would not listen to anything that his
supporters offered. Judge Gray's let
ter expressed his great anxiety for
harmony in the Democratic party this
year and held that the Democratic ma
tional convention should be left free
to select as the candidate for president
the strongest and most available man.
He therefore requested that the dele
gates selected to represent Delaware
a st. Louis be not bound by instruc-
tons.
The national delegates elected are

On Lyon County Line Water
Reached From Bluff to Bluff.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, June Sine
first train into this place since Thurs
day came in Tuesday, wnen the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe finished re-
pairing it's tracks between here and
Strong City The street cars are also
running again. The destruction of crops
in the Cottonwood valley is as complete
as it was in the Raw valley last year,
except that no sand was left on the
farms. Lorenzo Walters, a farmer liv-
ing west of here, lost seventy head of
hogs. Joseph Stone, living near Stafford
vile, lost fifty head.
The merchants of Saffordville lost
heavily. Among these losses were the
following: Garth & Stone, lumber and
hardware. about 81, 900; WOOlwine Bros
grocers, 81, 800; Don Allen, general store,
$1,000 For a time mail was distributed
from the Santa Fe depot as water was
six feet deep in the pOStOffice.
AT EMPORIA.
The Cottonwood river is receding
slowly. 1t is still over a portion OF the
bottom lands. The bottom lands have
been covered five days and there is no
hope for the inundated crops. Thou
fsands of acres will have to be replanted.
Fresh drinking water is a luxury in the
food districts. The Santa Fe ran its
first train since Friday over the How
ard branch Tuesday afternoon. The
Missouri, Kansas & Texas is still out of
business and is making no promises as
to when it will resume. William Flick
enger, who came to Lyon county in 1857
says the Indians told him they had
seen the Cottonwood reach from bluff
to bluff near the Chase county line,
but he thought it impossible Last week
it reached from bluff to bluff for the
first time since white men came to
the county.
AT WICHITA.
Aside from the stencil which rises
from the lowlands covered by a water
a week ago, there is little in the vicinity
of the Little river here to show that
there was a flood last week. The Ar
kansas river is five feet above low
water mark, but that is due to the an
nual spring rise. Chisholm creek has
returned to it's banks, leaving some
water about the packing houses where
the drainage failed to carry it away.
AS a result of the flood the council will
raise the new bikes a few inches high
er and foodgates will replace the dam
blown out of the Little river
AT ARKANSAS CITY.
Both the Arkansas and Walnut rivers
are falling. The latter, which caused
the more trouble is falling two inches
an hour. and today stands at twelve
feet The floods in the Arkansas valley
predicted by the government observers
for Tuesday failed to materialize.

NEW TIE RECOMMENDED.
Z. S. Forestry Bureau Has Been Max
ing Some Experiments.

Washington, June S.-The bureau of
forestry of the departmen of agricul-
tUre, after conducting a number of ex-
periments, has issued a report recon-
mending a new form of railroad tie
and urging consideration of treated
timbers. The consumption of rail-
road ties is given as 114.OOO,0O0, with
the demand each year harder to meet.
The bureau of forestry recommends
the adoption of a trapezoidaI or modi-
fed half-round tie, with a base of
10 to u inches and top bearing sur
face of inches, which it is claimed
would distribute the weight of NOV
ing trains loads as effectually as a
rectangular tie 10 to - inches broad
It is stated that lumbermen can make
two ties of this form of log which
would furnish but one rectangular tie;
that it encourages the cutting of large
trees and the saving of small ones
until they reach more valuable size.
and permits the utilization of much
timber from the tops hitherto left in
the woods.

train 4O6 on the Santa Fe today.
When asked if he had anything to
say that might interest the public at
this time, Mr.. Gleed replied:

anything to say. I have been in the

on Kansas affairs. I know absolutely
nothing to say that would be of pub

MERCHANTS TAKE A HAND.
Want San Bernardino Strikers to Leave
Shonmen Alone.


Without taking any action whatever
upon any of the troublesome ques-
tons growing out of the strike of
Santa Fe employees, the Merchants
association met and adjourned last
night, says the San Bernardino Sun.
The meeting had been called to con-
slider whether it were wise or neces-
sary for this representative organiza-
ton to take any action on the subjects
which have been much discussed dur
ing the last week, dealing with the
unquestoned right of the merchant
to sell to anybody who has the money,
on tn one hand, and the equally IN
questioned right of non-union men to
be on the streets and go and come as
they please without interruption or in
suit, on the other; both questions
largely growing out of the breaches
committed last Saturday evening.
The whole purpose and point in
view is to make it possible and more
than that, to make IL desirable, for the
men now employed at the shops to
get out of the stockade, live in board
ing houses in the city and spend their
money as residents of the town.
Even before the meeting was called
to order last night, therefore, there
was well developed and settled SEN
tlment in favor of keeping in the mid
die OF the road, and it was voiced
soon after the meeting was called to
order, in a motion to adjourn for a
week, which was approved.
But at that meeting 1t was also vot-
ed that the machinists, boflermakers
and blacksmiths should be represented
as well as the company, and the sec
rotary was instructed to officially in
vite the officers of the organizations
and F. 7. PERKS, representing the
company, to be present next Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Perris was present
last night, and was invited to re-
main during the brief session of the
association.
Both in the meeting and out of If
the one sentiment expressed was a
desire to arrive at a plan by which
the bars may be let down." the COM
missary at the shops abolished and
the men employed there made to I'M
derstand that there is no reason why
they shall not come and go freely.

A BIG FIGHT ON.
Wichita Gas Piping Promoters Fight
ing Themselves.

The papers of this section have
printed more or less information from
time to time concerning a scheme to
pipe gas from Wilson county to Wich-
tia, and it is said, with good reason,
that Shelton and LaDow, owners of
FredOnia and Altoona gas plants to-
gether with a large acreage of gas
lands in Wilson county, were in on the
deal with Mr.. P. K. Tying, a New York
state capitalist. The deal has been
on for some weeks and L. S. Shelton
and Mr.. Tying and party made trips
to Wichita to secure a franchise, and
drove all over Wilson county oil and
gas fields in carriages.
Last Saturday, at the instance of a
Mr.. w. A. harrington of Winfield the
county commissioners held a special
meeting at which they granted him
the right to lay pipe lines for gas and
oil in the public highways of Wilson
county, from the west line of said
county to Fredonia, Neodesha and AL
tOona. There was a clause which pro-
hfbited him from piping the gas away,
except that he might supply the city
of Fall River and there connect with
other gas wells. Darlington was an
agent of Tying and the scheme was
to get the pipe line laid and then use
it to pipe gas to Wichita. All this
came out at another special meeting
of the commissioners Tuesday when
action was taken resembling the Bar
ringtOn franchise, on the ground that
it was obtained under false represen-
tatiOn. L. s. Shelton suddenly ap-
peared fighting the Wichita pipe line
scheme and gave out the whole plans
OF Iyng away, producing a letter from
Tying which said he had employed
harrington to get the franchise from
the commissioners and suggesting to
Shelton that he and harrington be not
seen together in Fredonia under the
circumstances
The reason for this sudden change
in the position of Mr. Shelton is said
to be the fact that deal by which
Shelton and I4aDow were to sell GER
tain gas lands to TYng for 100000
