THEY ARE STILL AT OUTS.
Board of Education and Plumbers
Can't Agree on an Ordinance.

The members of the board of edu-
cation claim that they can not keep
track of Plumbing Inspector Chaney's
position regarding the amendments to
the plum bling ordinance.
Judge T. F. Carver, member of the
board from the Fourth ward, says
that Inspector CLANCY, at the request
of the members, met with the board
and reviewed the amendments to the
plumb bling ordinance proposed by the
board, and that CLANCY agreed that
every amendment was just and suit
able and that he was in hearty ac-
cord with them. Then when the
amendments came before the council
committee Clancy opposed the
amendments asked for by the board.
Should the council refuse to recog-
nize the wishes of the board of edu-
cation by making amendments to the
plumbing ordinance, it is likely that
the controversy will come before the
courts for decision. The board of
education will either ignore the ordi-
nance and proceed in violation of it
and court arrest, and thereby get the
matter into court, or will bring an
original proceeding to test the powers
of the council to pass such an ordi-
nance.
The members of the board of edu-
cation do not intend to change the
system of closets and plumbing in use
in the new city schools if they can
help it, and they will make a vigorous
fight to help it.

worse and it became evident that he

Intimated That the Standard VIII Buy
''The Interstate" at Peru.

Peru, Kan, July 1T is believed that
a big deal is pending a Peru which will
result in the sale of the Interstate
property. This is the company or
ganized by VIM. Geiser. formerly of Oil
City, Pa Geiser came out mere several
years ago and began operations at
Neodesha. For a time he was threat
ened with a trip "Over the Hills to the
Poor House, but ne hung on. Final
ly he made a deal by which he secured
lease of several thousand acres of
land in and around Peru. which he be
gan to develop. Things turned his way
and ne began to make money. His old
time friends in Venango county, Pa,
heard that he was in Strengthened cir
cumstances and sent him word if he
would come home they would give him
$3.50 month job for the remainder
of his life. They were surprised to
hear of his declaration, and still more
surprised to hear him say that ne was
making more money than he had ever
made before in his life. It has been
said the the Standard is the prospec-
tive purchaser.

THREE TIMES ENOUGH.
Hearst Thinks He Ought Not 10 Be
Asked to Support Cleveland Again.

Washington, July 1.-The Washing
ton Post prints the following:
With the Democratic national con-
vention only six days off, William r.
Hearst, after an hours interview with
John r. Mclean of Ohio, said here to-
day that he and his friends would
abide by the decision of the st. Louis
convention and support the Democrat
ic nominees for president and vice pres
ident; that the duty of all Democrats
in this compaign should be to elect a
truly Democratic president, and that
the Democratic leaders should be con-
trolled by their reason and not by their
resentments. Mr.. Hearst said he was
confident that the ST. Louis conven-
ton would nominate a ticket that
would appeal convincingly to the intel
ligence and conscience of the country
and would restore the Democratic par
ty to power.
Asked if he would support Mr.. Cleve-
land if nominated, Mr.. Hearst said:
Il supported Mr.. Cleveland three
times for the presidency, and he adj
ded, after a pause, II am inclined to
think that that is enough. I shall,
however, abide by the decision of the
convention, whoever the nominee may
be. At the same time, I repeat that
have supported Mr.. Cleveland three
times for the presidency. and think
that is enough

ROOSEVELT THE ISSUE.
Plan of the Parker Supporters Re-
garding the Platform.

New York, July 1.-The New York
Herald says: Organism will be utterly
repudiated in the platform to be adopt
ed by the Democratic national conven-
ton in St Louis if the managers of
the Parker boom have their way, and
President Roosevelt will be made the
paramount issue of the Democratic
campaign for the presidency.
While the Parker men have all along
been confident of the nomination of
their candidate, Senator Germans re-
pudiation of the assertion that he has
been trying to form a combination of
unpledged delegates against the candi-
date of New York state and the state
ment of the position of the Illinois dele
cation by John P. Hopkins today made
them doubly sure of success They are
now turning their attention to framing
which will embody Parker's views. This
will be presented at St. Louis for the
approval of the leaders from the south
and middle west
Those who stand closest to Judge
Parker say they will oppose all phases
that may mean one thing in the east
and another in the west. They believe
that the three plankS that will occupy
the most important place in the plat
form are those relating to the tariff.
the control of trusts and the money
standard.
Judge Parker's friends will not be
the platforms of the Bryan years. They
favor a straightout declaration that
the standard of money value is not a.
political question and that the money
of the nation should rest upon the
safest foundation that can be devised.
This means the gold standard pure and
simple.
1t is anticipated that the tariff plank
will arouse prolonged controversy in
the committee on resolutions. The drift
of opinion among the Parker men is
that it should demand an early revision
of the tariff schedules. but that there
should be nothing in it that can be con-
strued as a declaration in favor of free
trade.
In the trust plank it is proposed to
give especial attention to the evils OF
overcapftalization and to combinations
in restraint of trade. but there is a dis
tinct desire to avoid any Wholesale
denunciation of trusts. Imperialism
probably will be denounced along much
the same lines as those followed in the
national platform of four years ago

Republican County Committee to
Open Campaign on Saturday.

The Republican county central
committee will meet tomorrow after
noon at the old court house at L
o'clock to eat the lunch provided by
the powers and then while digesting
the viands will hear speeches and be-
come enthusiastic.
During the business session of the
committee it is likely that the COM
mittee or rules will report, and if the
insurrectionists can secure enough
votes they viii attempt to have new
rules adopted. One of the present
rules is that the entire county shall
vote for a committeeman at large who
shall be chairman ex officio. This rule
was adopted two years ago. Previous
to the adoption of the rule the COM
mittee selected its own chairman
Some of those politicians who claim
that the powers and the ring" and
the court house crowd" controlled
the committee and selected the chair
man who suited them, managed to
have the new rules adopted, and the
one rule in particular they wanted
was that the voters should select the
chairman. Last spring. at the early
primaries, DIR. w. S. Lindsay, the can
didate of the antis, gave H. NJ. Philips.
the candidate of the machine, a very
close run for the Craftsmanship but
did not win. Now some of the sup
porters of Dr. Lindsay want the rule
changed again, thinking that by going
before the committee instead of the
people their candidate would stand a
better chance of winning.

are falling into the ranks by the hun

weeks earlier and the state committee
had had $4,000, they would have car
ried the state On a straight pOpullst
ticket There is full state and cleo
toral ticket in the field and it will re-
ceive large vote. But Idaho is scat
tered over SO much OF the earth sur
face and is so cut up by mountain
ranges that it is impossible to get at
the people in any short length OF time.
The state is somewhat in the shape OF

ern end around the angle to the north
