clare his attitude towards the men who
were responsible for overturninE the
rama government and declared that
the provisional government would have
made slow progress, but for the assist
ance OF the rebels. Therefore he argued.
Mr. Taft should show his gratitude by
ousung the moderates from ofI1ec and
substituting for them men VINO had
fought for good government.
In spite of the fact that he was the
host Castillo did not obtain support fox
his demands. General Ferrara and
Asbert made patriotic speeches. saying
that they fought for their country and
not for spoils. This sentiment was gen
orally endorsed and Castillo was voted
down. Several speeches were then made
applauding Governor Taft, President

Low GAS PRESSURE.
People on West Side Experience Dis
comfort Today.

This is rather early in the season to
begin chill blaming the legs of the din
ing room table, but that was among the
complaints sent into the gas office by
phone early this morning. The prin-
oipal wall came from points west of
Kansas avenue, although the pressure
on the alleged heater and illuminant
was very low all over the city. Anxious
business men walked around in their
overshoes and breathed imprecations
while the chief engineer of the kitchen
made futile efforts to broil steaks and
boil coffee. Very little was doing in
the gas line, and the burners had to be
turned wide open to keep the sickly
blaze from passing away in q final splut
of hopelessness. But the Juice" was
working on the telephone wires, and
the early clerks at the gas office got
the benefit. Calls from Potwin came
close on the heels of calls from College
Hill and intermediate points, and were
punctuated at intervals by an explosive
query from the east side.
AS soon as possible the gassers in the
at the corner of Tenth and Kansas ave
nues, and the valves were opened few
turns. Then the storm of protest sub
sided.
The gas office explains the trouble by
stating that so many gas stoves have
been put in residences during the past
few days that they cut down the pres
sure, and all that was necessary to fix
the trouble was to open a throttle at
the regulator and put on more juice.

Republicans, the rank and file, are
honest. That you have seen men
bought here, that you know men have
been bought in the room Of a United

been paid prices running from $50 to
800 apiece, doesn't make any dlfTer-
ence with me as far as the Repu lican

office, and to making a perfect check

Mr.. Cation has been employed for
this work through the advice and sug-
geston of State Accountant J. c. CAT
ford and Governor E. W. Hoch. Other
state officers and nominees for state
offices approved the plan
When Mr.. Cation has completed his
work, and drafted all the books and

necessary laws will be drawn up for
presentation to the legislature to put
the scheme into operation. A great

Mr. Cation has been in the account
ing business for 3 years. and has de-
voted his attention especially to the
installation of a system of bookkeeping
into 38 different counties of the state.
He has just returned from Cloud
county, where he has been for the past
so days checking over the accounts Of
the county treasurer. He said today.
i have not yet drafted my report on
the Cloud county AFFAIR and so can
make no statement concerning the
conditions. I expect to begin work at
once at the state house in the collec-
ton of material for this new system OF
bookkeeping which expect to present
to the state, and can't say how long It
will take to do the work.
''I can not say what new plans Will
be suggested in my report, but think
that It is likely that it will require that
remittances be made to the auditor
instead of to the treasurer, and that
all receipts for money shall bear the
name Of the auditor as wei as that of
the treasurer. It ought to be so ar
ranged that the auditor can know ex-

Of the treasurer at any t1ms."

Lundgren will probably occupy the box

the present atmospheric conditions are

right end of the main grand stand
were armed with horns with which
they made uD in noise what they
lacked in numbers.

disclosed the fact that he is super

flags were flying in a row on top of the

been lost to the Americans some one
called Mr.. Murphy's attention to the
flags and argued that the unlucky
number might have been responsible
for the loss of the game. Mr.. Murphy
laughed and said he did not have a
thread of superstition in his makeup
This morning, however, he quietly
gave orders to the ground keeper to
either take down one flag or put up
another. Accordingly only II waved
