It's Turkey That the Ladies VIII Serve

Chicken may be a luxury for the
common days of the year, but it's too
tame for Thanksgiving. Turkey, and
plenty Of it, is the attractive part Of
the menu for the Thanksgiving din

Society and the Wesleyan circle at
the opera house on the great, nation

The two societies Of the Methodist

be served for so cents a plate, but
all other meals will be 25 cents.
The people OF the city and county,

AN OPEN BALLOT FOR SENATOR
IN KANSAS
rom Kansas City Star.

From Kansas City Star.
Mr.. ". r. Stubs is supposed to be
a candidate for United States senator
to succeed to BuTtOn'S seat There
fore, his statement in favor Of an open
ballot ought to have some effect on
the action Of the Kansas legislature
when il comes to voting on this i'm
pOrtant question. As Mr. Stubs says,
the people have just as much right to
know how their representatives vote
for senator as to know how they vote
in making laws The secret ballot in
legislatures is wrong. There is no
good excuse for it, and there are many
strong reasons why it should not be
permitted.
The Kansas legislature would be do
ing exactly the wrong thing for itself,
as well as for the state, if it should
decide the forthcoming senatorial con-
test by secret ballot. The issue in that
contest is the railroad issue. 1t will
dominate the contest from beginning to
end. The railroads or the people are
going to win. And the member who
would be opposed to having his vote
known in every ballot would put him
self in an unenviable position. He
would be an object Of suspicion In
this particular instance the members
Of the Kansas legislature should not
only desire to have an open ballot, but
IN their own interest they should in
sist upon it

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE 1
STATE POLITICS.

James A Garfield ran for the presi-
dency on the republican ticket In 1880
and was elected by a very narrow
plurality OF 7.01S votes, while three
other parties prohibition
and American-cast a total vote OF
3I8.3IS. Garfield, therefore, was a
minority president
There had been a bitter feud be-
tween Senators Blaine and COnklin on
account Of insulting words used BY
Blaine and directed to COnklin in a
debate in the United States senate
As a result Of this personal quarrel,
COnkIin resigned The republican
managers feared the defeat OF Gar
field in the campaign Of 1880 COnk-
lin was finally prevailed upon To
make speeches in New York state and
thus save the day for Garfield and the
republican party He was elected by
q scratch, as the popular vote given
above plainly shows
Forgetting the service rendered by
COnklin, he appointed Blaine as sec
rotary OF state, and ignored COnklin.
He also appointed Charles J FOlger Of
New York secretary Of the treasury.
Garfield was aSsassinated by Guitedu
and Chester A Arthur served out the
unexpired term, Blaine being con-
tinued in the cabinet He had heard
the presidential bee buzzing in his
bonnet for several years, and had been
a candidate in previous presidential
conventions
For the campaign OF 1884 he wished
to secure the delegation from New
York AlOnzO B. Cornell had made a
splendid record as governor Of New
York, and his denomination in 1882
was expected. Blaine interviewed
(secretary OF state, the same as ROOD
and packed the New York state re-
publican convention for Charles J.
FolgeT against Cornell. Blaine ex-
pected FOlger to be elected and to use
his influence in securing for him the
New York delegation to the national
republican convention The outcome
was Cleveland beat FOlger by 10000
majority, which gave him a boom fol
nomination for the presidency on the
democratic ticket against Blaine in
1854 FOlger took the matter so much
at heart that he died soon after the
state election Of 1882, and in the pUesi-
Dental campaign Of 1884 Cleveland
defeated the ''pIumed knight''-Blaine
who also died some time afterwards.
Previous to this, in 1876, Tilden had
been robbed Of the presidency by the
electoral commission farce and
Hayes declared elected

THE TENURE OF THE TRUSTS

From Kansas City Star.
When Garden City's big sugar plant
was erected the people there imagin-
ed they would enjoy a taste Of cheap
sugar. But they have been disillu-
stoned. The sugar trust, which con-
trolls the plant, not only demands its
usual profit, but an additional charge
representing the freight rate on sugar
from Garden City to New York and
back again to Garden City In other
words, Garden City sugar is sold
cheaper in New York than in Kansas.
But" you may ask, when is this
sort Of licensed plumber to come to an
end % That depends wholly on the
people. Such robbery viii go on just
as long as its victims viii submit to
It It is not strange that the trusts
should persist in holding up cOnsum-
ers IN the absence Of mOlestatOn- But
what IS inexplicable and altogether
astounding is that the practice per-
dures when the people could shatter
the whole abOminable system at one
general election
For years the people Of Kansas have
been paying tribute to the greedy
trusts at every turn in the road, and
ali because they have not chosen to
kick over the table. When the p1b-
lie gets ready to call = hals on the
trusts the trusts sF:ll quit holding up
the public.

Spotted Fever.
o the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Seeing an article copied from your pa
per relative to spotted fever Of the
Rocky Mountains, 1 will contribute my
experience and observation along this line
of research, hoping it may be useful to
those who are Investigating this question
of tick infection. 1t was stated in the ar
ticle referred to that surgeons OF the
marine hospital had practically demon
strated as a fact that the terrible spotted
fever of the Rocky Mountains is caused by
the infections of ticks.
1t seems to me that the investigations OF
the gentlemen referred to as having been
sent out by Surgeon General Wyman of
the marine hospital service are inadequate,
and the data on which they base their
evidence that the tick 0xodida). which
abounds in all tropical and temperate
countries of the world. are in any way as
ISOLATED with the infectious venom that by
incubation produces spotted fever
In the summer Of 1904 1 was called to
the bedside of a young lady suffering with
what her people thought to be meningitis.
l was unable to satisfactorily diagnose the
case, and DR.. Wood Hutchinson of Port
land was called. who pronounced 1t spot
ted fever. The history Of the case was
as follows: The patient had cat Of
which She was very fond. She often fon-
trapping for gophers. One was caught and
given to the cat, which carried 1t to the
house and after worrying it for some time
finally killed and devOured 1t.
The next day in the forenoon the girl
felt a peculiar sensation just above her
knee. Examination showed tick firmly
attached to her limb. 1t was pulled Off.
leaving a small red spot. In about an
hour she was taken with a chill and other
peculiar symptoms, which alarmed her peo-
Pile and / was called at once. On my
arrival ! found the chill had passed off
and her temperature 104 with high blood
pressure and slight delirium, her head
drawn backward, and pain in the back and
limbs In few hours simultaneous spots
appeared of a yellowish- purple hue. which
remained for three or four days, then
gradually disappeared.
DIR. Hutchinson has spent several months
in experiments and Investigations of this
peculiar disease, and Is led to believe that
the tick that causes this type of fever is
known to inhabit rodents, particularly
squirrels and gophers found not only In
the Rocky Mountains. but other mountain
Gus sections of the northwest

CONTEST IN TAMMANY
McCLELLAN-MURPHY FIGHT TO
FIGURE IN MEETING.

NEW YORK, December 26-Tammany
politicians are looking forward with inter-
est to the meeting of the executive commit
tee OF the wigwam which is to be held TO-
Il morrow night. This is the regular Deem
Der meeting, at which the reorganization OF
that body is undertaken annually. This
year 1t will be Of unusual significance, for
the reason that the fight between Tammany
Leader Murphy and Mayor Mcclellan inev-
itably will be dragged into it. The su-
preme test may not come at this time,
pending efforts that now are being made
by certain democrats to bring about a re-
Cancellation, or at least establish a working
arrangement between the mayor and the
head Of Tammany Hall.
Mayor Mcclellan has gone to some lengths
to make 1t plain that his fight is not on
Tammany Hall. but on its present leader
ship, and has rather emphasized that fact
by appointing several district leaders who
are stanch in their loyalty to the organiza-
ton to offices under the present admins
tration. That the true significance Of the
mayors attitude is beginning to dawn upon
many Of the leaders is certain, and had
the last election not resulted in a victory
for the democratic ticket with the exception
OF Mr.: Hearst. Murphy by this time would
undoubtedly have found himself in a posi-
ton where he would have had to fight to re-
tain his leadership.
-a'A Tactics Of Murphy.
+ That Mr.. Murphy is keenly alive to the
situation within Tammany Hall is indi-
Gated by the fact that he has abandoned
for good his efforts to unseat Fire Commits
sioner Francis J. Lantry and Maurice
Featherson, who openly sided with the
mayor in his opposition to the nomination
of Hearst. even though they would stand
with Murphy on anything affecting the or
ganization itself. It was learned yester-
day that Murphy will make no effort at the
meeting to unseat Commissioner Lantry 1t
was also learned that Maurice Feather
sons claim to seat In the executive COM
lnittee will go uncontested, although q Bit
ter personal row occurred between him and
the Tammany leader at the last meeting of
the committee.
The fight will come over the seating of
Ross Williams. who as the representative
election won out in the seventeenth assem-
bly, district over Matt Donohue; James F.
Allearn, who. backed by John H. OBrien,
won out In the nineteenth, and Percival E.
Nagle, who polled more votes than there
were voters in the district in his fight with
Aqueduot Commissioner John F. Cowan.
It is said by Tammany politicians that In
all probability Nagle's claim to a seat on
the committee. even though he received
certificate Of election as leader. win be re-
fused. and that Murphy's influence also will
prevail to keep Williams and Ahearn out.
But members Of the committee asserted
