When Mr.. Mckeever was seen today
and asked whether it is true that he
will enter the race he admitted that it
is fact. Il have decided to enter the
race for congress in the event of Mr..
! Curtis election to the senate" said he.
Il think that I would stand a good
chance OF election as am pretty we'll
acquainted throughout the district"
| Mr.. McKeever while he has lived in
| Topeka for nearly 20 years was born
in Jackson county and reared in Jeffer-
son and naturally has much latent
strength in those localities. He is
recognized as a forceful and witty
speaker and has shown a high degree
of generalship in politics.
There is a persistent rumor that a
| deal has been made by which Shawnee
| county is to be delivered to D. r. An
| thony of Leavenworth in the congress
| sional contest in the event of Mr. Cur
| tbs election, but there would he con-
| siderable trouble in the delivery of the
goods with Mr.. McKeever in the race
The voters would probably have some
| thing to say about it as they sometimes
rebel against being used for purposes of
| traffic.
Besides Mr.. Anthony who has made
the deal for the Shawnee delegation
and Mr.. McKeever there are no avow-
ed candidates. There have been ru-
! mors that Ex-Governor Bailey might
enter the race and that Senator Geo.
Hayden of Nemaha county also has
the congressional bee in his headgear.
There is also a suggestion that A. E.
Crane of Jackson county may also en-
ter the contest. One thing is certain
and that is that if Mr.. Curtis wins the
senatorial race Mr.. Anthony will nor
have easy sailing to capture his seat
in the lower house.
The Holton Recorder-Tribune, Re-
publican organ of Jackson county,
published by M Beck yesterday
printed the following in this connec-
ton:
An Ugly Runor.
There is a story going the rounds OF
the papers that Dan Anthony has sold
out to Curtis and will swing the Leav-
enworth representatives and senator
to Curtis for Curtis promises to make
Anthony his successor in the First
district We of course do not believe
the story We think it must have or
iginated in the imagination of some
newspaper reporter who was short on
something sensational to say on the
senatorial situation. We will not be-
lieve it until 1t is demonstrated to be
true by the votes of the delegation.
Possibly Anthony could deliver the
goods but Curtis certainly could not
This is the kind of politics that was
responsible for the Burton disgrace,
and that President Roosevelt and his
followers and friends have been so
successfully fighting in New York
where boss rule and political trickery
has prevailed to such an alarming
extent, and is exactly the kind that
the Recorder-Tribune helped D. r.
Anthony to fight two years ago. If
it turns out that there is any truth In
the rumor the Republicans of Jack
son county will cheerfully join hands
with the other counties in favor of a
Brown, a Nemaha, a Doniphan, a
Jefferson. a Jackson or even Shaw
nee or Leavenworth county man to
defeat Mr.. Anthony.

was granted preventing Judge Carnes
from presiding in the case of Judge

SAYS Hargis and Edward Callahan in
duced him to enter the conspiracy
against Cox, promising to see that he
was acquitted and to give him a job
and that Callahan gave him 500 after
the killing, saying Jim Hargfs sent it
to you.
According to the confession the
three men shot DR.. Cox, lying in wait
for the doctor and firing upon him
simultaneously.
Hargis Is Stupefied.
Lexington, KY, Jan. 11.-Judge
James Hargis and his supporters are
stupef1ed today by the confession of
John Smith that he helped assassiRate
DR.. Cox at the order of Judge Hargis
and Sheriff Ed Callahan.
Smiths confession bears out in
every detail the story told by Abner
Pickner last June. Smith fears for his
life on account of the wrath of Hargis
and Callahan.

DELAYED FIRE ALARM.
1t Resulted in a Loss of Property
Valued at $1,OOO,O0O.

Lancaster, Pa. Jan. 11.-F'ire which
started in the tobacco warehouse of r.
Moss 8. Co., early this morning, spread
to adjoining property. and caused loss
estimated at 100000 The Moss ware
house filled with tobacco, and the Moss
cigar factory adjoining were destroyed,
causing a loss placed at S500,O00. The
warehouse of the American Cigar COM
pany was more or less damaged by fire
and the contents probably heavily dam
aged by water and smoke. The con-
tents of the warehouses of Morris
Levy, Kramer and Goldberg, and John
Brimmer also were damaged by smoke
and water Five dwellings were de-
stroyed.
Delay in turning in the alarm gave
the fire a good start and when the fire.
men arrived it was beyond control. In
addition the wall of the Moss cigar fac.
tory collapsed, burying the only avail
able fire truck. Crossed electric light
wires started the fire.

Miners Hard Fate.

A Welsh colliery fireman named
Evan Howells died recently as the re-
suit of terrible injuries he had sus.
tained in fire In the Rhondda valley.
While the men were working at the
pit bottom the pit Knockers" clang-
ing gave warning that something was
wrong. Howells went mp in 'the cage
to see what was the matter, and near
the top of the shaft he found fire
had broken out. The cage was drawn
up into the middle Cs the flames. and
Just as the man arrived in the heart of
the fire the "knocker" wire broke,
and the signal to stop the cage was
given automatically. The shrieks Of
the man in the cage drew the atten-
tion of those on the bank. and by the
time the cage had been drawn to the
top. Howell's clothes had all been
burned upon him. 1t is stated that the
guide ropes were white with heat, and
as soon as the fan was stopped to pre-
vent the fire getting into the pit ball
OF flame rose from the shaft, shot up
by the air pressure.
