paid by Kribs to Tanner was in return for
the services of Mitchell. and that the sena-
tor had no direct knowledge of the sources
of his monthly remlttances, his share OF

& Tanner.
The Kribs Claims.
Tanner said that never to his knowledge
did Mitchell ever see a check from Kribs
to the firm for services rendered. Tanner
also testified that at the time of the chang
ing of the original contract in 1897 which
occurred in 1901, Mitchell was deeply in
voIved in official business and was shortly
afterWard taken with a severe illness.
Tanner said he did not know personally
of any services rendered by Mitchell before
the departments at Washington in regard
to the KribS claims other than such Serv-

Tanner. Mitchell never seeing the corre-

MCCLELLAN ALL RIGHT,

NEW YORK, July 26.-Pursuant
to the call of Leader Charles f..
Murphy the members of the general
committee of Tammany Hall met at
the Wigwam today and took the first
steps in the mayoralty campaign of
this fall AS was expected the key
hote of the proceedings was an en-
thusiastic endorsement of Mayor Nc
Clellan for a second term. In reso-
lutions intended as a reply to the in
vitation of the Citizens union to join
in a movement to on-partisanize the
municipal government, the Tammany
organization pointed to the record in
office of Mayor Mcclellan, holding his
administration up as model OF nom
partisanship and making the asser-
ton that Mcclellan has been more
non partisan in his conduct of public
affairs than either Mayor Low or
Mayor Strong.

Henry Goessel is one of scores
who came from Russia in the early

and the price of a square meal. Now
he has amassed II children and five
sections of land worth $25 an acre.
He could cash in now for something
near $4,000 and live easy ever after.
But no, that is far from his thoughts,
as learned.
After 1 had decided to get close to
Kansas wheat by hiring out as a

of it for less than $3.50, so he agreed
to the latter. He took me joyfully
