landed ]. r. Burton in the United
States senate, and it is needless to say
that his efforts will be used along the
same line in this movement. The Hoch
boom will be used to throw the control
of the Kansas delegation to the Chi
cago convention into the hands of Bur-
ton and to nominate Burton men for
the state senate. 1t will also be used,
of course, tossuppresss any fight which
may arise on Tom Kelly. The Hoch
movement is closely intertwfned with
the interests of Burton and Kelly, and
that is what makes it disreuptable.
Stubs, Mackey, Dolley and other
friends of Burton. have not the state
acquaintance to run the boss buster
movement without making serious mis-
takes, as they did in sending out some
of their letters recently. To obviate
this Frank Grimes is made committee
man-at-large, and will direct much OF
the work and lay many of the plans.
D. w. Mulvane will, of course, aid
Grimes from the background. Other
prominent Burton supporters who are
taking a leading part in the boss buster
movement are B. H. Tracy, whom Bur-
ton tried to have appointed United
States district attorney. but whom
President Roosevelt turned down be-
cause of his personal character; w. H.
Mackey, Mr. Burton's United States
marshal: Col. J. H. Richards, general
attorney for the Missouri Pacific, one
of Burton's bosom friends; Senator
Leidy: Senator Crum: w. w. Caldwell,
leader of the Burton forces in Cloud
county; S. S. Smith, of Dickinson; Will
liam Martindale, of Emporia; John Dud-
ley and H. M. Philips, of Shawnee;
Senator Findlay, of Rice county, and
others.
Chief among the has beens" who are

name calls forth loud and uproarious
horse laughs in almost every political
circle in Kansas. Many of the younger
boss busters are regretting that Blue
was not suppressed in the recent boss
busters meeting, but as it is an up
rising Of the people" Blue and others of
his class have right to ''uprise' with
the rest, and they are taking advantage
of it.
Following him are Farmer" Smith,

Benton Murdoch of Ell Dorado, ]. w.
Johnson of Greenwood, William Thorn
son of Usage, whom Governor Stanley
refused to reappOint as a district judge;

MAN IN THE CABOOSE
JACK RUMSEYS SECRET FOR
SECURING SLEEP.
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck of His Nerves.

A great deal of fatigue and anxiety
is housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end of every freight
train and shares in every jolt of the
string of heavy cars that precedes it on
the rails. The men in it are good,
hearty fellows who bear cheerfully the
hazards connected with the great pro-
blem of transportation. They are astir
night and day on a vast network of
lines over the globe, and the sympa-
ties of tens of thousands of peaceful
little homes go with them on their
runs. lrregularity in meals and sleep,
delays, wrecks, washouts, landslides,
breakage of machinery, extremes of
cold and heat, are a few of their dis
comforts. The great public, sleeping
complacently all night, must have its
supplies in the morning and these are
/. the men who must get them through
at the cost even of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, of Council Grove,
Kansas, is an energetic, frank, good
natured member of this brotherhood
and he bears a load of worries that
makes it necessary for him to seek
help at times to keep his excited brain
and nerves from wearing him out. He
says:
What troubled me most for a long
| time in my occupation was my ina
bility to get sleep when the chance
came and most irritating sensitive
ness of my whole nervous system,
growing out of the irregularities and
anxieties connected with my daily
work Three or four years ago a clerk
in the superintendent office of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, at OsaWato-
mic, Kansas, advised me to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
1 acted on his advice and got help
right away. Two or three boxes made
me perfectly we'll. So I keep them on
hand all the time and whenever the
strain begins to tell on me take few
doses and they set me all right again.
They quiet down my excited nerves
and make it possible for me to sleep
just like a child. They are mighty
good medicine for a railroad man.
That is the absolute truth, as far as
my experience goes, and 1 am right
glad to recommend them
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are unlike other medicines be
cause they act directly on the blood
and nerves. This makes them invalu-
able in such diseases as locomotor at
aka, partial paralysis. ST. Vitus'
nervous headache, the after-effects Of
the grip. palpitation of the heart, pale
and salIow compilations and all forms
of weakness either in male or female.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of price. fifty
cents a box, or six boxes for two dol
lars and fifty cents, by addressing DR..

FOUND HER DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Chase Charges Topeka Society
With Keeping Her in Ignorance

The Fort Scott Tribune says: On
yesterday mornings Missouri Pacific
train from the east arrived in the city
Mrs. Mary Chase, of Cherokee, Ia, u
middle aged woman who has tasted
both the bitter and sweet sides of life
She came to claim her daughter whom
she had not seen for ten years and
whom she had almost given up as
dead. The daughter in question is
Miss Della Chase, who was adopted ten
years ago by the family of E. H. Nor
ton, of COG Barbee street, and who has
been member of the family ever
since. The reunion of mother and
daughter, is filled with and surround
ed by peculiar circumS tanceS. The
daughter, now a young lady, Is years
of age, and although she can remem-
Der family the face of her mother the
recognition was not mutual. The moth
er was made a happy woman as soon
as she set eyes on the girl, as she has
been looking for her long lost child
for over five years, spendingg large
sums of money in an effort to locate
her whereabouts. Mrs. Chase makes
sensational charges against the Chill
dren's Home society of Topeka, which
also operates in this city. Her story
is n most peculiar one.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Norton obtained
possession of the child from the To-
peka home, through Superintendent
Wickham, who was in charge of the
work in this city, he entered into a con-
tract with the officials to keep the
child until she was Is years old, and
that at the expiration of that time the
child was to choose between staying
there or going where she pleased. The
time would have expired in a very
short time. During the ten years that
Miss Chase has been with Mr.. and Mrs.
Norton she has grown to love them IS
mother and father. and although she
knew the sad circumstances that sur
rounded her life, she was perfectly
contented- She was sent to school and
is at present attending the Collegiate
institute on East Wall street.

who introduced the bill to levy a Spe-

another measure which Cyrus Leland
killed, having passed instead a bill CIV
