 The pup has many shining qualities but yesterday he tried a new role.

 Yesterday Sheriff w. R. Waller had news of the location of a negro crim- inal he has been looking for some time. He conferred with Jailer Me Lemore and Deputy Sheriff Wilson and the trio set out for the supposed abode of the criminal.
 Major overheard their conversation and Major was aggrieved. Why had the Sheriff not consulted him? Why had the sheriff not consulted the crafty brain of Major, who, by his wiles, had captured many of the rodent denizens of the jail?
 But Major had an idea. He would follow the sheriff and his deputies. He would enter the house. before they could alight from their buggy and he

Gossip From the
 Nations Capital

Washington. March 2s.--(Special)-- If not warrior and statesman, at least veteran soldier and old politician, IS Joseph Warren Keller, of the Seventh Ohio District. who has just come to Washington on a visit and was re- elected to public life last November after an absance from the scenes here that knew him well of over twenty years.
 General Keifer-he was a brigadier in the Union army during the Civil War, and commanded a division Tn Fitzhugh Lees corps in the little war things and renew his acquaintance with the geography and other things of the national capital with which he long ago learned Congressman ought to be familiar.
 General Keller is not a very old man, being this side of seventy. and Is quite vigorous physically, if not powerful mentally. He used to be a partisan Republican when he served with the Forty-fifth Congress. and he ls a partisan yet. He was elected Speaker of the Forty-seventh Congress mainly because he was an uncompro- fnising partisan, and he seems to think that is the way to achieve things now. At the last election he rode into suc- eess on the hobby of reduction of Southern representation, claiming that It was time that the votes of large mum bers of Northern people ought to be kQuaI to the few votes that were cast by Southern people at Congressional e1ections. General Keller promises to make a disturbance on this question in the Fifty-ninth Congress, and he and Crumpacker together, with the large majority the Republicans have in the House next to meet. may make it in- keresting for the Southern Democrats. He is not giving so much attention to he race question as he is to what he eonceives to be an inequality of rep

For Republican NouaInatIOn.

The early manifestation of Vice. President and Candidate Charles ".
 Fairbanks. as seen in his trip to North Carolina and his activity otherwise un- doubtedly show that the campaign for the Republican nomination in 1903 is already under way.
 Republicans generally take 1t for granted that nothing can beat them in a national election. They are rocking not of any fact of the personal follow ing Theodore Roosevelt drew to him. Democratic factions, the lack of which in 1904 undoubtedly aggravated the enormity of the Roosevelt victory. The aspirants of the party for the
 their plans, on the assumption of easy triumph. Their contentious and con- hicting claims do not promise well for ministration. That they must sooner or later come into a tangle of embar-
 rassing cross purposes no one doubts who is accustomed to looking ahead in politics.
 The first sign of it came as an an- noyance to Postmaster General Cortel- you when the time came for him to turn over to somebody else the chair manship of the Republican National Committee. He selected Harry s. New, of Indiana, 1t now transpires, against the protest of Candidate Fairbanks. New wanted to be Senator for the seat that Hemenway got. New was off in Chicago running Western headquarters of the National Committee when Hem enway got in his work through Fair banks and was elected Senator to suc- ceed Fairbanks. This was the limit of toleratIon to Harry New. He went to work and learned that the long. tall reacher after the Presidential persim- non lacked a great deal of being a charming personality to large pro- portion of the members of the National Committee. He was overjoyed to find that Chairman Cortelyou was among the number who was not ready to throw everything in favor of Satx-
