STANLEY MAY QUIT.
Rumor That He Has rendered
His Resignation.

A rumor comes from Muscogee, In
dian Territory, that former Governor
w. E. Stanley has resigned his place
on the Dawes commission. The rumor
is not confirmed, and Governor Stanley,
whose office is at Tishomingo has not
replied to dispatches sent him asking
about the report.
A Wichita dispatch, however, says
that Mrs. Stanley, who is at home there,
confirms the report that the governor
has been contemplating resigning for
some time, but was waiting until the
Bonaparte investigation was completed.
Governor Stanley was not at the Re
publican state convention last week be-
cause of the press of business at Tisho-
mingc. A large number of the clerks
in his office had been sick, and he had
even sent for his son. Harry, to come
down from Wichita to help with the
work.
At the time the appointment on
Dawes commission was offered Cover
nor Stanley a year ago, to succeed Sena-
tor Dawes, the originator of the COM
mission. he hesitated about accepting
it for fear it would take too much of
his time, and he wanted to rebuild his
law practice at Wichita. After he ac
cepted the appointment he found that
it required practically all of his time at
Tishomingo.
In speaking of the reported resigna-
tion at Wichita last night, Mrs. Stanley
said:
but I know that he has been expecting
to return home soon. When he ae-
eepted the appointment he thought that
he would be able to get home at least
every two weeks, but he found that il
was too combining, for he has had no
time to be home either to look after
his practice in the district nor in the
federal courts. Since, the holidays he
has been at home only once. He has
had since them IA nen in his office who
were sick. This Was largely RESPONSE
BILE for keeping him from home. He has
intended resigning as soon as Mr..
Bonaparte finished his investigation.
''Of course, he could not resign while
under fire. but 1 know that he only
has been waiting for the investigation
to come to an end so that he could re-
turn home. He wrote me last a few
| days ago that Mr.. Bonaparte's report
had been sent to Washington and that
it contained nothing in criticism of the
Tishomingo Office, which was his office.
He was feeling pretty good over that,
and I suppose his resignation was sent
in at once. He is quite a home man.

SEE A CHANCE.
Democrats in Second District
Are Interested.
They Think That They Have
Chance to Win.
NOT ALL ONE WAY.
Detection in Wyandotte County
May Be Important.
Mr.. Bowersock's Majority Two
Years Ago Was 4,358.

That there is a chance for the Demo-
Gratis to elect a Democrat in the Second
district if the feeling there continues as
it is as present there seems little
doubt. That is why there is a probabili-
ty of a scramble for the Democratic
nomination this year.
There is scarcely a county in the dis
triet where there is not more or less
turmoil, and if Congressman Bowersock
is declared the nominee by the state
election board, as his friends declare he
will be, there is a strong probability
that he will be knitted at the polls by
enough Republicans who feel outraged
at the way things have been done in the
Second district this year, to defeat him.
| Two years ago Mr.. Bowersock was
elected by plurality of 4,35S over Noah
Bowman of Garnett. Bowersock carried
seven of the nine counties in the dis
trict while Bowman carried only two,
Miami and Anderson. He carried Wyan-
dotte by over thousand majority, but
this year the Wyandotte politicians say
that county will give a thousand ma
jority against him. If this is true it
would cut down his majority outside OF
Wyandotte to about 1850.
The following is the vote by counties
| in the last election:

BROWN MEN GO HOME.
They Nominated O.J.Nugent for
Senator Before They Left.

Troy, Kan, March 15.-The Brown
county delegation in the senatorial con-
vention for Doniphan and Brown coun-
ties, which has been deadlocked for
several weeks, attempted to take snap
Judgment on Doniphan county last
night by meeting a few minutes before
the time to which an adjournment nsd
been taken and nominating O. j. Nu-
gent for state senator The Brown con-
tingent alleges that their action was
regular and three of their delegates
caught a train for home at 1887, only
seven minutes after the convention was
scheduled to meet.
The convention had taken over 1900
ballots when it adjourned in the alter
noon to meet at 80 in the evening. The
Doniphan county delegation alleges that
it went to the hall a few minutes before
the convention was to meet, but finding
that the Brown county delegates were
holding some sort of a meeting, they
supposed it to be a caucus and only one
Doniphan county man went in until just
7:3O 1t is alleged that only eight of the
ten Brown county delegates were pres
emit They counted the one Doniphan
county man present and nominated Nu-
gent, adjourning at 7:30, the time the
convention was supposed to meet.
The Doniphan county delegation re-
fused to accept the action OF the eight
Brown county delegates, and went
ahead with the balloting. A Brown
county alternate. Colonel Ryan, met
with them. giving them eleven votes
present They adjourned until this
morning, and today the eleven agreed
upon an adjournment until Wednes-
day, March %. Resolutions were
adopted today before the adjournment,
setting forth the action of the Brown
county delegates last night in meeting
before the appointed time. and alleging
that the convention nov in session
is the regular senatorial convention.
The Brown county delegates yester-
day filed statement with the county
clerk alleging that they are entitled to
IA delegates instead of 10, but as the
call is for 10 and as they have been lac-
cepting the call for weeks, the Doniphar
county delegates say the statement does
not amount to anything.

MISS FULLER TAKEN HOME.
One of Last of Willard Wreck Vic

her brother, w. K Fuller, to her home
at Blockton. Ia. They stopped at Kan

Miss Fuller's foot was terribly man

from under a pile of several dead
bodies. It is feared that her injuries
will prove permanent. No settlement
has yet been made with the Rock Is

suit will be commenced against the
company. Miss Fuller has been in the
hospital for eleven weeks.
There remains at the hospital only
