whisky, and a barrel Of wine, seized
BY Constable Gillespie at verden YES
terday, is a problem that is up to the

ported It to Sheriff Louthan.

It made an abrupt lurch and at the

he made for the door, while the car
bumped along on tne ties, jarring ev-

Judge Hayes made his exit at th'

NEW MAN FOR CONGRESS.
Old Soldiers Want Rev. B. f.. Boyle
to Enter Race.

Rev. B. F. Boyle of Atchison. an old
soldier, is being urged by members of
the G. A. r. of Topeka to announce
his candidacy for congressman from
the First district. A number of let
tiers have been sent up from Topeka
to the Atchison minister from prom
inent G. A. r. men of Topeka asking p
that he make the race Representa-
tive Calderhead is the only civil war
veteran in congress from Kansas and
the old soldiers think that their vote
is at least entitled to two members in
congress. With this belief in mind
Boyle is asked to announce himself.
Boyle is reluctant and thus far has not
evinced a willingness to accept the
honors which friends are trying to
thrust upon him.
Boyle is pastor of the Presbyter
ian church at Atchison and is not only
a veteran in army circles, but in the
church also. He formerly lived in
Ohio and served in the ministry there
for many years.
His geographical position in the
First district and the fact that he is a
prominent G. A. r. man are counted
upon as being two factors which will
tend to make him a strong candidate
in the race for congressman from the
First district.

WHY THEY FOUGHT.
Sequel of the KelIy-Leach Fight in
Senate.

The sequel of the rough and tumble
fight between T. T. Kelly, the former
state treasurer and Jess Leach, the To-
cal correspondent of the Kansas City
Journal, which occurred yesterday on
the stairway leading down stairs from
the senate lobby. is the chief topic OF
gossip in the senate today. 1t is said
that the bill introduced by Senator
Smith. prohibiting corporations and
concerns from making exclusive con-
tracts with retailers or concerns in this
state, was responsible for the battle
between these old cronies. The bill
will prevent a corporation from saying
to q dealer in this state, IF you won't
sign contract to handle our goods
exclusively we will not let you handle
them at ALL
The bill will hit the harvester trust
harder than any other concern doing
business in this state. 1t passed the
senate without much discussion or de-
bate and from developments 1T is likely
that the harvester trust did not realize
what had happened until the bill reach
ed the house. 1t has been tied up in
the judiciary committee there ever
since. 1t is current talk about the leg
isiative halls that Mr.. Kelly. with the
assistance of Mr.. Dave Mulvane, is
at the head of the lobby looking after
the interests of the harvester people in
regard to this bill.
It is said that Leach insisted that
