STATES TREASURY SCANDAL

REPUBICAE PAPERs TAK1 SIDES.
Topeka Capital Explains-Says No DEAL
cation OF EmbeEzlement-RePIi that
GOV. Bailey Violated IsaE-Stass
Pays His Grocery and wash BiIIs.

The eastern part of the stare is ali
stirred up over the state treasury expose
and even republican papers denounce
Kelly and demand his removal from the
ticket. HOeh- is roasted by republican
editors for saying: If you don't intend
to vote the straight republican ticket,
get out of the party" The Troy Chief
says that "republicanism does not re-
quire a man to vote for thief because
he is on the ticket William Alien
White in the Emporia Gazette says:
When the state treasurer lends
bond dealer S123, 900 of the states cash
for two weeks, without interest, to ac-
commodate the bond dealer, enabling
him to make S1O,OOO commission, who
could not swing the deal at any bank
on those terms. that is plain embezzie-
ment. When the state treasurer, who
boasts that he has had fun charge Of
the office for four years as deputy, and
a year and a half as treasurer, lets the
Office get s., 900 short, sneaking in s., -
900 when he finds they are onto him,
and leaving his former employer to
hold the sack for s., 600 worth of short
age, that is .embezzlement. And when
the same treasurer cuts out pages of the
records of his Office to hide his own
crime, and justifes it by showing equal
ly reprehensible sOeculations Of others,
which he has known about for four
years in silence, that is clearly embez-
zlementl with an astonisher after It.
The Gazette trusts that it has made itself
absolutely clear to the esteemed Cap
itaI."
The Topeka Capital is kept busy re-
plying to the Journal, which it denom-
mates dem" newspaper, defending
Kelly and attacking Bailey. It charges
that the governor drew money on a
voucher for a months pay several days
before It was due, and ''swore that the
account was already due and payable. ,"
The Capital charges the governor with
converting to his own private use the
appropriation for the maintenance of
the executive mansion. 1t says:

auditors Office show that the governor
has drawn money from the state treas

A0JU0eED INSANE.
Ralph Franklin, Young Man Of 26, the
Unf0rtunate Victim OF the Disease.

Ralph franklin, Young Man Of R6, the
UnfOrtunate Victim OF the Disease.
Ralph Franklin, twenty-six years old,
who came to Sherman county seventeen
years ago with his parents and other
members of the family, was taken into
custody Saturday, because of his ira
tional actions and Monday adjudged
insane in Probate Judge G. L. Calvert's
court, DIS. F. H. Smith and W. H.
FarrOw acting as medical examiners in
the case. Application for entrance Of
Franklin has been made to the Topeka
asylum, and as soon as advices are re-
ceived he viii be taken there. Garfield
Franklin, brothers lives infthis county,
and another brother, Henry Franklin,
of Gem, Kan, was here last week for
visit and to look after the welfare of
his brother. Asa and Anna Franklin,
formerly of this county, who viii be re-
membered by many, are also his brother
and sister.
Examination into the mental condi-
ton of Ralph Franklin brought out the
fact that the disease was of about eigh-
teen months standing. The examining
physicians hold that the disease is var
liable but that Franklin has on rational
intervals Franklin has the delusion
that he is infected by black bugs which
come through his skin, and that he is
annoyed by lizard in his stomach and
bowels. 1t is thought that this person
al calamity to Ralph has been fastened
by the prairie fire which got away
from him while he was burning fire
guards and which burned down his
barn and some of its contents. The
fire also burned over the range of sew
eral Of his neighbOrs, and he has should
cred so much responsibility and been
worried by the damage done, that his
mind broke beneath the burden. Frank
Inns mental balance has also been dis
turbed by reading literature on mesmer-
ism and hyPnOtism, and now thinks
that he has telePathic communication.
The report of the physicians says that
they are unable to state the cause of
the disease unless II be living alone,
reading quack literature, and brOOdiug
over imaginary diseases. The young man
is a good specimen so far as his body is
concerned. He is well proportional,
and weighs about 80 pounds, and were
It not for the rather unnatural express
sion produced by the disease, he would
be rated as a person of more than ordi-
nary appearance. Franklin who is q
single man, has been living alone on a
homestead in Itasca township, and owns
personal property as horses and farm
ing implements. His case is a sad one,
and his many acquaintance hope for
his delivery from the malady, with
which he Is stricken.

Frank vac Fleet, Known IN GOOdland,
Victim 81 FatEi Accident.

NlGELEn DE EGEEA Accident
Frank Van Fleet, who was railroad
brakeman under our fellow townsman,
George Scheigner, In 1896 and 1897,
when Mr.. Scheigner was aconductor
on the Union Pacific between Denver
and Cheyenne, met with a fatal acct
dent at Grand Junction, Colo, last
week, while attempting to make a bal
loon ascension and a parachute leap.
Van Fleet made Colorado City his
home, and had been giving exhibitions
thrOught Colorado for several years.
When he started up in his baIlon at
Grand Junction, the wind suddenly
veered and drove the big air ship di-
rectly toward a bunch of tall trees in
the fair grounds. The ropes became
entangled in the branches of the trees
when Van Fleet lost his grip on the
bar and was hurled violently to the
ground. He died of his injuries a few
days afterward-
Mr.. Scheigper speaks of him as a
splendid railroad man, and genial and
companionable. Perhaps his railroad ex-
perience, requiring quick decision in the
presence of danger, made him one of
the most daring balloOnists in the
country

RattIesnake That Didn't Bite.

The first instinct of a rattlesnake is
to strike when it is suddenly disturbed.
But this instance forms an exception,
and the snake didn't even bite after be-
ing stepped on. Dick Powers recently
sold draft horse to H. A. Clark, Of
Wallace county, who has been using
the animal blowing in the field. At one
end of the field, reports Mr.. Clark, the
team was wheeling when this one of
the horses stepped squarely on the
middle of a big rattlesnake. For a
moment the air all around seemed alive
with the wild locust-sound of the rat
tier. The horses were nervous by rea-
son of the sound they knew and feared,
and 81 doubt not" said Mr. Clark in
speaking of the incident, that would
have been minus that horse today If
the RATHER hadn't had q gopher half
way down his throat. That's the only
reason that the snake didn't bite.

The first blizzard of the season put in
its aPpeasance at about 9 O'Clock Tues
day morning Monday was cloudy and
cool, and rain began falling Monday
night, the wind being quite stiff from
the north. A fine rain was falling early
Tuesday morning, which later on turn
ed to snow, with the wind increasing in
velocity as the day advanced. Most
trees being yet in leaf the limbs were
soon loaded down, and, in some instan-
ces, broken of.
The blizzard was of the wet kind and
continued for nearly "a hours. The
temperature Tuesday night was only
just below the freezing point, no dam
age being done to stock as far as report
ed. Wednesdays bright morning sun
soon played havock with the g beautiful
snow and it was soon "evanishing
amid the stream" of sunshine, leaving
the prairies tinged with green and trees
in verdant leaf, and, of course, plenty
of adhesive humus.
Nineteen years ago, October II, 1885,
one day earlier than the late storm,
there. was an early blizzard of wet snow
very similar to this one, and was sue
ceeded by two in November, and two
in December, which were very severe,
and in January 81, 1886, many people
persisted and thousands of cattle were
killed. The following season was a
remarkably fruitful one. A hint to the

DsmOcrstie Candidate = Coed Nan and
aVsry Emeisat Omoer.


aVsry Emcisat Omcer.
If residence of Sherman county for
almost twenty years, and during all
that time one has evinced unquestioned
citizenship; If loyalty to the best in
tsrests of Sherman county is ought and
individual thrift worth notice-if these
things are to recommend man to the
voting public at the coming election,
then J. J. Knight, democratic candi-
date to succeed himself as register of
deeds, should receive the generous and
unqualified support of the voters of
Sherman county. Every man that
knows J. ]. Knight thinks of him as a
person of good habits, obliging alike
in his individual and official conduct;
careful Of every mans name, and as
efficient register Of deeds as Sherman
county has ever had.
Mr.. Knight came from Racine county,
Wisconsin, to Sherman county in 1885,
aud homesteaded the place on which
his country home stands today, and
where he kept up a continuous resi-
dence until he moved to Goodland in
December, 1902. after being elected
register of deeds for the first time. He
owns more than his homestead, how
ever. And his ranch, one of the best
IN the county, in Shermanville town
ship on the Beaver, is kept up, stocked
with cattle and part of It devoted to
agriculture. IF be is proud Of his ranch,
he delights more in giving MS children
the best advantages in his power, and
for that purpose is keeping his family
in town and sending the children to the
Goodland schools. That Mr.. Knight
himself is one of the members of
the board of education bespeaks his in
terest in education and reflects and es-
TEEN in which he IS held.
Whenever Mr.. Knight has had to be
out Of his Office for any reason, his
daughter, Miss Myrtle, has conducted
the ofie with an ability that is the re-
mark of the abstracters of title, who
know better than anybody else when
things are correctly done. Mr.. Knight
is a good Peuman, as is his daughter.
He has so conducted the Office of regis
ter of deeds that satisfaction with him
IS general and not confined to the peo-
pie of his political party, and we be
lieve that in the election the public will
pronounce with even greater emphasis
than We have here spoken, his fitness for
this place of public trust, and will set
its approval by choosing him to serve
them publicly for two years more.
