examined W to this time at this term.
There is considerable talk today at

they announced that because of the pre-
JUDGE against the railroad candidate
for the senate in their districts and
counties, they would not be able to
support Curtis. Were this sentiment
expressed in earnest it would of course
sound the death knell of the Curtis

Joseph l. Bristow. of Salina, one of
the candidates for. United States sena-
tor, arrived in Topeka last night, ar
companied by Senator Fred Quincy. Mi.
Bristow probably came to settle the lit
tie squabble between himself and Con-
gresham Curtis over headquarters at
known as the Jugs rooms because of
the fact that the last three successful
candidates for United States senator
have used them as headquarters. Cur
it's friends announced after he left for
Washington that he had secured the
lucky rooms. This statement aroused
Bristow's ire for he claimed to have
enga ged them last January. He tele-
graphed to Col. Chapelle as soon as he
heard the report reminding him of his
contract. And not satisfied with that
he came down from Salina, last night,
to see to the matter personally.
There will be no trouble about the
lucky rooms,'' he said last night. II
engaged them last January and have
contract to that effect in writing"
It is possible, however. that Mr.. Bris-
tow will surrender his claims to the
rooms if Mr.. Curtis insists.

J. B. MOORE IS ARRESTED.
The Garden City judicial Election
Contest Il Growing Interesting.

Garden City. Dec. 81. B. Moore,
the man for whom Colonel w. R.
Hopkins swore out a warrant on a
charge of criminal libel, in connection
with the recent election Of judge in
this district, has been arrested Sheriff
Bogart found his man near Ulysses,
where he was at work in a. corn field.
The alleged libel was in the form
of an affidavit and in substance charg-
ed Colonel Hopkins with having be-
by means of fraud and extortion hav-
ing obtained from Moore the title to
Moore's farm in Grant county. This
affidavit followed by a letter from the
Democratic candidate for judge.
w. H Thompson, in which he stated
that Mr.. Mocre's affidavit was sworn
to and that the records bore him out
in every assertion" had tremendous
influence on the new voters through
out the district, especially when Mr.
that he was willing to serve a term
in the penitentiary If a single state
ment could be proven untrue
An abstract of the records of Grant
county has been secured from a bond
ed abstracter which shows not only
that Moore had no title to convey at
the time that he made a deed to Col
onel Hopkins and W. c. Pearce but
that the deed given to Hopkins and
Pearce was given as a mortgage to
secure the payment of $500. Copies
Of this abstract will be prepared so
that the community may be informed
of what methods were used to secure
the defeat of Colonel Hopkins.
Mr.. Thompson had begun efforts to
procure bondsmen for Moore before
the sheriff had returned and succeed
ed in making arrangements so the
defendant was not taken to jail. Mr..
Thorn pson also having failed to pro-
cure the services of attorneys here to
defend Moore finally secured an at
torney out of the district in the per-
son of Mr.. Reeves of Dodge City.
There seems to be q sort of lull in
the proceedings but the reward of
$500 offered by the Republican CEN
trail committee before election is still
on hand and other arrests are expect
ed at any time
The committee of the bar appoint
ed to investigate the charges against
Colonel Hopkins, at his own request,
Is composed of Albert Hoskinson, B.
F. Stocks and G. L. Miller. They have
not vet reported. What the next step
will be is not known. but if the
charges against Colonel Hopkins are
proven false an effort likely will be
made to prevent the ating of Mr..
Thompson as Judge

For SALE CHEAP-A heavy work team
weighs 5000 pounds. Enquire of the
Wausau Box Co. If
According TO a report of j. E.
Rhodes, secretary of the late Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen's association,
there was l72, 1866, 322 feet of pine lumber
on hand in the Wisconsin river valley
Jan. LIST, 1906, as against 246, 325, 052 one
year ago, a difference of 73, 1858, 730 feet.
The cause for this pronounced falling
off is assigned to two causes-declining
stumpage and active demand for lum-
Der which has taxed resources of sup
ply to an unexpected extent. The fig
ures given are for stocks held by mem
bers of the Wisconsin Valley Lumber
mems association, and do not include
those owned by independent lumber
men AS the bulk of the lumber is
owned by members of the association,
it is quite likely that if the stocks
owned by non-members were included
the total would not be swelled mater
tally, for the smaller dealers usually
sell as fast as their stock is manufac
tured.

DEATH OF J. |. BELLS.

j. L.. Bells died at Ills O'Clock last
Tuesday morning at his home in Ber-
lin. He was brother of the late Geo.
Bells, of this city, and having visited
here frequently, was quite well known
to many of our citizens OF him the
Berlin Journal says:
Despite the fact that j. l.. Bells had
spent more than the allotted three score
years and ten on earth, nevertheless he
was one among the comparatively few
bordering on eighty whose daily life
was so calm and serene that intercourse
with him was a pleasure. About the
hotel office his presence will indeed be
missed by travellers and townspeople
alike, while about the house, family and
employe will remember the touch of
vanished hand and the sound of voice
that is still During the past two years
friends have remarked that 'Lu was
failing. Especially since the demise
last spring of his beloved wife; and
have realized that the day was APP
preaching when the kindly, CHEEKY
pioneer would be missed, to return no
more. His illness dates back exactly
two weeks, during most of the time it
being regarded by friends and physi-
clans as serious. The end of mortal ex-
istence came about Ills Tuesday morn
ing, when the family was hurriedly
summoned to the bedside and in few
moments the unwelcome news was sent
out 3: Father is dead He had passed
poor night and at one o'clock in the
morning it was thought he was dying,
but he rallied and Tuesday morning
had been able to sit up in chair. Sud
denly change came for the worse and
he was gone almost instantly.
81. l.. Bells came to this vicinity
about 1866 He lived at Sacramento
for some time, moving to Berlin in the
later sixties and residing here ever
since. His connection with restaurants
and hotels occupied most Of his time
until few years ago when he was sue
ceeded by his son, G. E. Bells; but the
energetic, workloving father was al
ways about the house doing whatever
he found to do, dissatisfied unless hav-
ing some occupation. He was a great
reader and always had been; hence he
was well posted man.
HE belonged to the old, long list of
pioneers who helped to lay the foanda-
ton of the town and who was permitted
to outlast many of his early day CO.
laborers in the work.

ART ADVERTISING.

The merchants and business men of
Fond du Lac have formed what they
call the Business Mems Protective asso-
citation to stamp out all forms of fake
advertising and to confne their cad"
departments to legitimate newspaper
advertising. A committee was APP
pointed to receive all delegations from
churches, charitable institutions, men
or women who travel working various
schemes, such as paper bag, hotel
register and other advertising, will be
directed to the committee and if in its
judgment scheme is deemed worthy
and promises returns, it will be favor
ably recommended otherwise not.
Most of fakirs receive their patronage
because one merchant does not like to
be left off scheme, if his competitor
has taken a space. 1t is a good move
