LETTERS OF WARNING.
They Are Sent to Everybody in the
Employ of the Government.

Washington, Nov 22.-Letters have
been sent from every department in
Washington to federal employees
throughout the Union cautioning them
against submitting to instructions from
state or district conventions which
would commit them to the presidential
candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt. AL
though the chief offending in this re-
gard has been in the postoffice depart
ment, where OverzealouS poStmaSters
in the south with advice of the first
assistant postmaster general, Mr..
Hitchcock, have endeavored to secure
instructed delegations for Roosevelt,
the orders have not been confined to
the poStoff1ce department. District at
torneys and United States marShals,
who are even more potent than post
masters, especially in the western
states, have been warned in letters from
the department of justice. The army
of agents operating in the interior de-
partment and the various collectors,
surveyors of the port and customs Of.
ficers in the treasury department will
each receive warning.
1t is not held that federal office hold.
ers cannot go as delegates to national
conventions. No political rights are de-
MED them. If they are so in favor Of
Roosevelt for a third term that they
are willing to separate themselves from
the government payroll in order that
they NAV work to that end, they may
even go instructed for Roosevelt to
conventions. But what they are fatty
informed in the letters which go forth
is that they must not be third term
agitatorS. -

TILIOTSON Is LET OFF.
County Will Stand the Costs in His
Case.

On the advice of the county at
torney that they had power to do so
the board of county commissioners de-
c1ded today to compromise the fine
and costs which were administered to
D. c. Tillotson. the lawyer. on his con-
viction in the court of Topeka a year
and one-half ago on a charge of at
tempting to assault NJ. W. Glass, an
officer of the Annuity Union, who ha d
some trouble with Mr. Tillotson over
the possession of some books belong
ing to the organization.
Mr.. Tillotson was fined SIS and costs
in tha casa which amounted to
S201.S5 or stand committed to jail I'M
til the fine and the costs were satisfied.
He appealed to the district court from
this conviction and the matter
dragged along there until finally Mr..
Tillotson dismissed the appeal Then
the matter reverted back to the posi-
ton it was in before. namely the fine
and the costs still standing against
him.
The commissioners decided TODAY to
stand the costs in the case and remit
the fine. This will obviate the neces-
sity of Mr.. Tillotson going to Jail. The
costs in the case are divided up as
follows: Fees to Bert Lucas, former
sheriff, s57.75; costs to the clerk of
the district court. $24.55; witness fees,
$3.50 and costs in the court of To-
peka 1886.
