Informed last night at his country
home that secret service men in Phila-

This is the second internal machine
that has been addressed to me-" he
said. 81 can not understand it at all.
What possible reason could any one
wish to assassinate me? I have done
no hurt to any one that I know Of

SHAWNEE GETSA HOME
Fire Insurance Company Pays $4,000
for Real Estate Building.

The Real Estate building, at the
corner of Seventh and Jackson streets,
has been sold to j. w. Going, secre-
tary and manager OF the Shawnee Fire
Insurance company, for the company
and the Shawnee will move into its
new quarters within the next week or
ten days.
The purchase price of the property
was $4,000, and the deal was made
with Rev. F. NJ Hayden, Of the Church
of the Assumption. All litigations are
off and the Catholic church was able
to give a clear title to the property.
Mr.. Going. manager Of the Shawnee
company, said today:
I'VE have been crowded in the Bank
of Topeka building and have needed
more room for some time owing to
the fact that the company has just en-
tered the New England states, including
New York and Maryland, and breath
ing space was at a premium in our Of
fees. I think that the Real Estate
building is just suited to our purposes,
as it contains excellent office rooms
and a good vault room. We will oc-
cupy the entire first floor. and let the
upper offices Here, IN the Topeka
Bank building. we occupy the entire
second floor and part of the basement
but We haven't room enough and we
have been contemplat ting either a pur-
chase or the erection Of q new building
for some time
The title to the Real Estate build
ing was clear and the Catholic church
had d good deed to it. The building
win not be changed materially. al
though We will renoxate the Offices and
brighten it up little. The present ar
rangement of rooms Is satisfactory,
and we could not have secured a bet
ter location for our business
This recent litiga ton concerning the
Real Estate buiidiag. which was form
erly a part Of the g. j. Deviin estate,
was closed not long ago when the

New York Republicans Meet in
Convention at Saratoga.
No Candidate Seems to Have a
Lead for Nomination.

Saratoga, Sept. 25.-Ex- Governor B. B.
OdeiI. chairman of the state committee.
called the Republican state convention
to order at 1920 O'Clock. After some
preliminary business the committee on
temporary organization submitted its
report naming Representative Michael
E. DriscOll of Syracuse for temporary
chairman. The report was adopted and
Mr.. Driscoll took the chair.
Mr.. Driseoll's speech was frequently
interrupted by applause.
When Mr.. DriscoH mentioned the name
of Governor Higgins the convention
cheered heartily, but a little later when
Mr.. Driscol spoke of the administra-
tion of state affairs having been inde-
pendent of bosses, there was a roar of
laughter. State Chairman OdeIl, whose
eyes were wandering over the audience,
turned quickly and looked sharply at
the speaker, but his face showed no
emotion.
His mention Of President Roosevelt
brought the convention to its feet, shout
ing, cheering and waving hats and
handkerchiefs. The cheers were dying
out when the New York county delega-
ton leaped to it's feet and wound up
the applause with three ringing cheers,

Samuel Jones' an 1S-year-old
boy, both residents of this city. were
found lying on a bed at the Hotel ST.

This theory it is said said is substan-

the young man.

the government officials.
IF the Americans wish to take our
government and give it to the rebels
they may do so, but not with our con-
sent. We shall never consent to the
holding of new elections. It would not
only be a great injustice, but if the
rebels won, Cuba would have the worst
elements In control, and If the gov
erumenL won we would have another
revolution on our hands.
Continuing, the general said that
Vice President Mendez Capote had
gone to confer with Secretary Taft and
to inform the latter that the Cuban
government positively rejected the
liberals proposition laid before Presi-
dent Palma by Mr.. Taft and Assistant
Secretary of State Bacon last night
President Palma would resign, An
drade said, if the step was suggested
by the American officials, but he would
never be a party to holding new cleo
tions. Furthermore no members Of
the moderate party would go to the
polls If d new election is held in jan
uary as contemplated.
