KELLY ISN'T AFRAID.
Says He Knows His Accounts Are
Straight.

T. T. Kelly. state treasurer. left this
afternoon for his trip to the Pacific
coast. C. D. Morris, the expert account
ant, commenced work today on the
books in the treasurer's office.
Before leaving the city, Mr.. Kelly
made the following statement of his
position:
L am a part of the state admins
tration, but if there is any crookedness
in my office, [ have no right to be in
the administration and it is the gov
errors duty to accept my resignation.
Il have no fear of the result. I know
that my accounts are straight I shall
leave for Portland today to be absent
three weeks and my assistants are in
structed to furnish the accountant any
information he may ask for.
LAS I am under investigation, re
greet that the governor did not see fit
to start the inquiry at the beginning of
my first term. am entitled to a speedy
examination. There are no charges
against my predecessor, yet my case,
which was important enough to start
an investigation, must wait till the ac-
countant goes through the records for
four years before took the office

SAYS THAT HE IS INNOCENT.
B. T. Jacobs Claims He Didn't Have a
Fake Foot Race.

B. F. Jacobs, the man whose fight
against Missouri requisitiOn proceed
ings will come up before Governor
Hoeh Thursday, is wanted for alleged
participation in a fake foot race deal
by which William Gordanier dropped
$4,000. The system which it is claim
ed Jacobs worked was in all respects
similar to the Webb City Buckfoot
gang, which swindled farmers and
others out of thousands of dollars.
A. F. Williams, who is Jacobs at
torney, says: 4 believe it is claimed
that there was a foot race swindle
mixed I'D in this affair. I don't know
any of the details. Our evidence will
be presented in the form of afidavits
and depOsitions- Mr.. Jacobs is in jail
up in Jewell county, and will not be
here for the hearing He claims that
he is entirely innocent; that he has not
obtained any money fraudulently, and
that he has been mixed up in no fake
foot races"
It seems that Jacobs and Gordanier
both hailed from Kansas. They be-
came acQainted at MankatO, in Jewell
county Jacobs seems to have been
the foot racer. and a race was ar
ranged with an alleged crack down at
Kansas City. Gfordanier put up $4,000
on the race and lost. At least that is
Gordanier's story, and he wants
Jacobs taken back to Missouri and
prosecuted on the criminal charge OF
grand larceny.

Cannot Buy Baptists.
1t has been affirmed by some of
Mr.. Rockefeller's critics that by his
gifts to the Baptist denomination he
mas purchased its approval, or at least
its silence. To say that such a BODY
of Christians could be bought by Mr.
Rockefeller's money is to excite the
derisive laughter and to evoke the
righteous indignation of every intelli-
gent Baptist. No one knows better
than Mr.. Rockefeller himself that he
cannot buy the approval of Baptfsts
by his millions. There are Baptist
leaders of today who would not hest
tate for moment to advocate the e1-
pulsion of Mr.. Rockefeller from the
Baptist denomination. if it were
proved that he acquired his money
dishonesty or by means morally or
socially destructive. The Baptist lead
ers are becoming thoroughly indignant
at the malevOlent spirit and con-
temptible methods of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's opponents"
Rev. DR.. Macarthur declares that
the critics of Mr.. Rockefeller appeal
to the passions of the unthinking null
titude and that this is assassination Of
character. He "repels Indignantly

SERIOUS FIRE AT STAMPING
GROUND.

About 2:30 o'clock, on Sunday
morning, a fire was discovered in a
restaurant, on Main street, in the
little town Of Stamping Ground,
which, before it was extinguished,
had consumed four large buildings
and damaged several others.
A telephone message was sent to
this city, asking that assistance be
sent in the shape Of our old steam
fire engine. 1t was at once made
ready and train was pulled out
for occupancy. Just, however,
before it was about to start, ne WIS
came that the fire was under con-
troll.
The buildings destroyed were the
restaurant of Mr.. Turner, the new
bank building, the saloon of Cole
man & McKeever, and a clothing
and dry goods house. Several
stores and dwellings were more or
less damaged.
The total loss was about SIS, 900
or $1,000, with only partial insur-
ance. some persons not having any
at all.
1t was the worst fire that Stamp
ing Ground has experienced in
many years, and looked like it
would be even more serious than it
