ArchaeOlOgists are much perturbed By

which they dispose Of. and 10 distribute
articles of great value in throwing light
ON the prehistoric inhabitan4a beyond
the reach OF ethnologists.
Among the groups which the archaeol.

small. with low walls, the largest not
being more than three stories high. The
stones fit closely together. and show
signs OF having been dressed into shape.
Apparently the rooms Of the lower
stories are entered from the roof and
never from lateral doors. When win

STILL AFTER ED HOWE.
Another Runnor That He Will Be a
Candidate for Congress.

Ed Howe is again being pursued by
a boom for the job of member of con-
gress to succeed Charles Curtis. The
Leavenworth Times is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Howe will get
into the race for. congress-if he sees
any show to win.
Cyrus Leland was in Topeka Satur-
day. When asked what he had to saw
about the Curtis fight. he replied: 'Is
there a fight on Curtis? I hadn't
heard anything about it. It's too early
to talk about the situation anyway
This is what the Leavenworth Times
says about Ed Howe, under an Atchi-
son date line:
"E. w. Howe, editor of the Atchison
Globe, viii get into the race for con-
gress next year if he sees a chance to
win. He could have had the deIega-
ton from this county last year. but
became disguised with the acts of GER
tain politicians, and at the last mo-
ment he declined to be 4 candidate Mr.
Howe has been in the newspaper.
business all his life, and he has work
ed hard. He is now ready to enter
new fields, and While he has no de-
sire to engage in a scramble for office
he cherishes hope that some dav the
people of his district may see fit to
honor him with term in congress-
Next year would suit him Just as we'll
as any other time. and his friends are
ready to step in and give a boom for
him all the impetus they can. He can
secure the delegation from Atchison
county by limiting that he is a candi-
date, and as his fame reaches every
household in the district he ought TO
be able to secure help from other
counties. At present Mr.. Howe is
delivering lectures in First district
towns and his friends say he is doing
this to acquaint himself with the situ-
alton and to give people a chance to
size him up"

HE PICKS ALLEN.
DR.. GIasseock Talks of Second
District Contest.
Thinks the Ottawa Man viii Be
Victorious.

DR.. S. S. GIasscock, of Kansas City
representative in the last legislature,
who was strong pressed by W. R.
Stubs and J. n. Dolley to get into the
race for congressman from the Sec
ond district for the purpose of beating
Henry Allen, was in Topeka Saturday,
and gave it as his opinion that Henry
Allen would get the nomination for
congress over Charles F. Scott This
is the way Dr. Glasscock put it:
THE man who gets the Wyandotte
county delegation viii be elected. And
if no local man gets into the race with
a bona fide intention of staying, I be-
lieve that Henry Allen Will get Wyan-
dOtte county.
of giving its delegation to some favor
tie SON for him to trade upon. The
people won't stand for that sort of
thing any more. If there was any
local candidate IN whom the people
had confidence, who could step into
the race with a good show to win, he
could get our delegation, but I don't
believe that such a candidate will pre-
sent himself
'sOf course there are a number Of
local politicians who would like to get
the delega ton if possible. I don't
know that any of them are aYowed
candidates for congress, but they
might become so if they thought they
would stand a show to get the delega-
ton. Nat Barnes would like to try it.
and I have heard o. J. Peterson,
Henry McGrew and Silas Porter men

and could afford to make the race.
at is true that considerable pres
sure was brought to bear upon me to
get into the race. but could not at
ford to do it. I think if I could afford
to go after this thing, 1 could beat
Henry Allen without any doubt. Eut
nv business is in such shape now that
by staying with it, can make it
worth 5000 a year to me by the time
I would be able to get into congress:

business to come to the legislature last
winter If I should go to congress, It
would cost me $4,000 to be elected
and $4,000 more for living expenses in
Washington. No poor man can afford
to go to congress if he expects to re-
main honest. I don't want to get a
congressional job until I have saved
100000 or $3.50, 600, and have an IN
come which will keep me. independent
of my salary That's the only way for
an honest man to get into congress.
It is unfortunate that such is the case,
but it seems to be one Of the develop
ments of modern political life.
IAN effort was also made to get
Senator Getty into the race against
Henry Allen, but he also refused to be
a candidate
Speaking of his chances for re-elec-
ton to the legislature, DR.. Glasscock
said:
Il don't know whether my people will
want ice again or not, but J thiaH that
if 1 decidec to make the race for re-
election, I could come back. I expect I
would lose a good deal of the cOloTed
vote, for the reason that I voted in
faVcr OF that bill providing for separate
high school for the negroes and
whites at Kansas City. OF course
there are q large number OF the better
class of colored people who endorsed my
course on that measure. After voting
for that BILL I showed that I was work
ing fOl what believed TO De TOT Ilc
De t interests of the eol0red race ly
getting through a sS5. 600 appropriation
for the coIored university at Kansas
City. I would probably gain enough
Democratic votes to offset what I would
lose of oolored votes"
DR.. Glasseock had a majority Of 1900
in the last election. and 50 his chances
for reelection are very good in case he
decidrs to make the race. Some of the
Kansas City. Kan, people are nursing
a boom for Dr.. Glasscock fer governor
after Hoch's time is out. He is prom

in The future.

". ]. BAILEY FOR CONGRESS.
Kansas City Paper Would Force Him
in Despite His Assertions.

When Governor Bailey was in To-
peka last week he said that he has no
intention of being a candidate for
congress in the First district, but
nevertheless a Kansas City paper
prints the following:
politicians in the First congTessiOn-
al district who are opposed to the re-
nomination of Representative Charles
Curtis believe that Ex-Governor w. J.
Bailey can be induced to enter the race
against his old rival. Mr.. Bailey was
in Topeka this week and to some of
the First district politicians who dis
cussed the situation with him he said
that Nemaha county had not changed
its opinion in regard to the present
representative of the district and that
it would support any reputable Re
publican against Mr.. Curtis.
This statement from the ex-gover-
nor is taken to mean that he will. as a
last resort. enter the race from the
First district against Curtis. The ex-
governor said that Nemaha county
would support Matthew Edmunds of
Jefferson county or any other clean
Republican against Curtis. Mr. Ed
munds is hardly well enough known in
the First district to carry it against
the present representative and Mr..
Bailey may be called upon to again
enter the political arena and contest
with Mr.. Curtis for the nomination.
He is very popular among the Repub-
icans of northeastern Kansas and ex-
cept for the fact that he has not the
machinery of the committee behind
him he probably is as strong in the
district as any other Republican"
