MAY BE WAGGENER.
Rumor That His Name VIII Go on
Ticket for Senator.

1t is said that the Democrats in the
Atchison-Jackson senatorial district
are preparing to withdraw H. E. Bal
lou from the race, and substitute for
him Bale p. Waggener of Atchison,
the retiring senator from that district.
The Democrats. it is claimed, have
become convinced that they can not
win with BalIou, and further, Mr.. Bal
lou himself is said to want to withdraw
and re-enter evangelical work. Mr.
Ballou was prominent in state politics
at one time during Populist days.
A delegation of Jackson county
Democrats went to Atchison a few
days ago. it is said. for the purpose
" trying to persuade Mr.. Waggener to
get into the race in case of Mr.. Bal
LOUIS withdrawal. The Democratic
senatorial committee is authorized TO
fill the vacancies arising in such cases.
Mr.. Waggener has announced that he
has withdrawn from politics, and it is
doubtful whether he will consent to
accept a nomination for state senator.
John d. Myers of Jackson county,
the Republican nominee, was in To-
peka yesterday. and expressed himself
as well pleased with his chances. He
said that it wouldn't do the Democrats
any good to switch nominee at this
stage in the game.

AIRSHIP CONTESTS.
Eighty-six Balloons Are Assembled at
Berlin for Races.

Berlin. Oct. 9.-Eighty-six balloons
have assembled here to take part in
the series of airship contests that be-
gin tomorrow and continue throughout
Sunday and Monday. Among the
pilots are several army aeronauts of
world wide reputation. The races will
start from the suburb of Schmargen-
borg. The principal event will be the
contest for the international cup
which will take place on Sunday.
Great public interest has been aroused
by this event for which there are 23
entries, representing eight nations.
There will be also a number of en-
durance and distance races with fixed
goals.
The arrangements are most COM
plete. The balloons were tested today
in the presence of the contestants and
regulations according to size and other
conditions were decided upon. The
three American contestants, James
Mccoy, N. Henry Arnold and A. Hol-
land Forbes. accompanied by Briga-
der General James Allen, chief of tht
signal corps, U. S. A, visited the
grounds today and obtained official
maps from the Aero club that is pro-
noting the contests. They were given
also the final instructions for pilots.
During the progress of the races the
pilots will drop out every half hour
during daylight loaded envelopes con-
tanning dispatches informing the Aero
club of the whereabouts of their ball
looms.

the treasurer of Wyandotte county to
pay over the condemnation money to
Meriwether as the state of Kansas
had a prior claim on this land.
H. L. Alden was next appointed
special master in chancery to decide
upon the claims of Howe, the state of
Kansas and Meriwether to this land.
The decision in this case was to the
effect that the land belonged to Meri-
wether.
Then Meriwether leased this land in
question to- Howe and others. Then
comes Howe into the city court of
Kansas, City, Kan, and starts still
another suit against Meriwether for
possession of this land. Judge Pol
locks temporary restraining order to-
day nips this suit in the bud and final
disposition of the case will be had at
Leavenworth October Is, at which
time this order will either be dissolved
or made permanent.

HE BOTHERS THEM.
Injunction Asked to silence Persistent
Claimant.

Judge Pollock of the United States
circuit today issued temporary
restraining order on L. K. Howe, L. W.
Keplinger, his attorney. and U. S.
Guyer, judge of the city court at
Kansas City, Mo, for bringing any
suit against Hunter NJ. Meriwether
for possession of certain property in
at which date they must appear in
the federal court room at Leaven-
worth and show cause why this order
shall not be made permanent.
The land in question is a tri-
angular strip of four and one-fourth
acres lying between the Missouri line
and Ohio street in Kansas City, Kan,
which was condemned four years ago
for terminal railway purposes and
$4,000 paid to the treasurer of
Wyandotte county to be turned over
by him to the rightful owner of the
said land.
Litigation in this case regarding the
true owner of the land has been con-
tinuous since April, 1904, and H. NJ.
Meriwether the plaintiff in this ac-
ton, has been awarded possession of
the land by two successive masters in
chancery over the claims of defend
ant Howe and also the state of
Kansas.
1t is alleged in the petition asking
Judge Pollock for this restraining
order that Howe is veXatious
litigant; that he has for years. with
out a right, or shadow thereof, in
every conceivable way, by direct and
indirect litigation. harassed Meri-
wether the plaintiff. and put him TO
enormous expense in maintaining the
ownership of his own land. 1t is
alleged further that unless this re-
straining order is issued that Howe
will likely continue his tactics for an
indefinite period.
When the land was first condemned
in 1904 Howe appeared and set up a
claim to the title of the land and for
the $22. 900 paid for it by the railway
company. Frank Doster was APP
pointed special master in chancery
and decided that Howe had no right
or title whatever to this land. After
this decision, Keplinger, attorney for
Howe warned the Chicago, Great
Western railway which was then using
and occupying this land not to allow

HOFFMAN LOSES HIS SUIT.
Enterprise Grain Man Must Pay for
Grain Sold to Insolvent Firm.

1t appears that G. B. Hoffman the
Enterprise grain man, is due to paw a
judgment. The case of the Farmers
Cooperative Shippings association
against Hoffman has been in the court
for some time. Nearly two years ago
the association brought suit against
Hoffman in the Shawnee county dis
trict court for $1,706.24, and later filed
an amended petition, adding 1856 to
the original sum. Judgment against
Hoffman was rendered by Judge Dana,
and Hoffman appealed to the supreme
court The supreme court decided
against Hoffman some time ago, and
has returned the case to Judge Dana,
instructing him to enter Judgment for
$2,26249.
In the petition, the Farmers CO.
operative association stated the asso-
citation had hired Hoffman who was
alleged to be a grain expert, as man
ager of the concern, kind of grain
raisers' brotherhood organized for mu-
tual protection. They further allege
that Hoffman was given full sway in
the management of the association, on
a salary of $4,000 per year. In the
fail of 1903, observes the petitioner,
Hoffman sold two carloads of wheat,
the property of the association, to the
]. H. Tomlin company of Kansas City.
This was all right, of course, except
that the petitioners state that Hoffman
knew at the time that the receiving
firm was insolvent and absolutely in
competent. The Farmers association
lost its two cars of wheat, and decid-
ing that Hoffman should have known
better, held him responsible. 1t ap-
pears that the courts are of the same
opinion
Beside the judgment. Hoffman is
liable for the costs, including $500
fee as referee to George II. Whitcomb.

LOOKS LIKE RACE SUICIDE
FIfty-five Deaths and Thirty-nine
Births in Topeka During September.

Secretary Pattison of the board of
health reports that during September

contagious disease in the city during
the month as follows: Three cases of
typhoid fever, one of scarlet fever. Two
of smallpox and two of diphtheria.

to the board of health. They are pro
vided with self addressed postal cards
for this purpose and the penalty for

GRATTAN IN KANSAS CITY.
Taking a Hand in the Gulf Grain Rate
Controversy

G. F. Grattan will go to Kansas
City Wednesday to fight before the
Interstate Commerce commission the
application of the Kansas City bureau
of transportation for a readjustment
of the grain rates to the gulf. The
suit is directed against the. Santa Fe,
and other railways. and it's object is
to compel the railroads to reduce
their rates to the gulf so that Kan
sas wheat will move to the gulf via
Kansas City instead of direct down
through Oklahoma and Texas.
Kansas has been fighting for years
for an equitable gulf rate, and finally
managed to get some reductions
through the Interstate Commerce
commission. Now the Kansas City
people are trying to overturn these
arrangements.
On Tuesday Mr.. Grattan will go be-
fore the federal court at Leavenworth
to argue the exceptions in the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot case. The railway
commissioners ordered the Missouri
Pacific to build a passenger depot in
Kansas City, Kan. The Missouri Pa
cific, as is its custom, went into the
federal courts to get the order SET
aside. The hearing before Judge
Pollock is on this application.

Purposes of Railway Protective Asso.
citation Are Explained.

gave to the committee what he saws is
the straight of the purposes of the
railway protective association. He said
This organization is not fighting
Taft. 1t is not a partisan organization.
1t fights any one who favors legisla-
ton which is hostile to railroads. The
word has gone out that Stubs and
Bristow are in favor of that kind of
legislation, and must be downed. Hence
