a number of wireless stations on Puget

Instead of using a telescope pole to
carry the radiating and receiving wires
in the air, two huge king kites were
sent up to which the wires connecting
with the instruments were attached.
The new wireless outfits are for
special use on battlefields. The entire

vanced to 92Ac. Minneapolis. Duluth and

strength of corn helped to uphold prices.
September sold up to 9211c. The market
closed firm with September up sc at 92asc.
CORN-Corn was strong. particularly
the September delivery. owing to buying
by leading bull Active demand by

Il do not think that my Democracy
should be questioned by these men or
any one else. / was postmaster in
Topeka for a short time not a great
many years ago and there are several
present who will remember that
cleaned out the postoffice building of
Republican employees for the first time
In its history. This fight which is be-
ing made on me is the result of petty
Jealousfes on the part of the men
whom I have named and they are at
tempting to tell this committee who 1t
shall select for a chairman
An attempt was made to assess each
member of the committee one dollar
as starter for a campaign fund but
this fell by the wayside when w. H.
Whittekind denounced it as undemo-
cratic and threatened to resign from
the committee IL the motion prevailed.
Following the election of Mr.. Thomas
as permanent chairman, William Quail
In a speech In which harmony was
the text moved that the selection be
made unanimous and a few moments
lated declined a unanimous tender of
the place as secretary.
DR.. Taylor in a brief speech thanked
the committee over which he presided
as chairman for the splendid work
which he said was done during the last
campaign. For the first time in the
history of the state Shawnee county
last year participated in the fruits of
victory" said Mr.. Taylor, and il 1
read the signs right there is an op-
portunity this year to not only again
carry Shawnee, the banner Republican
county of the state for Bryan for pres
ident and the Democratic nominee for
governor, but I believe that a number
of the Democratic county nominees
will be elected"
F. S. Thomas, who was today elected
chairman of the Democratic county
committee, is not new in Democratic
politics in Kansas as he served for ten
years as a member of the state Demo-
cratic central committee finally refus-
ing to longer serve in this capacity.
During his term of service as a MEM
Der of the state central committee he
acted as treasurer.
He was postmaster at Topeka for
a short time during the second term
of Grover Cleveland as president and
was removed for violation of the civil
service rules. 1t has been said of him
that he cleared the postoffice depart
ment in Topeka of all Republicans and
filled their places with Democrats and
though he was compelled to resign for
this reason he has never denied that
the point was well taken.
He will succeed W. H. Kemper as
a member of the state central commit
tee and owing to his acquaintance in
the state and experience will in all
probabilities be urged as chairman OF
the state central committee.

ONE WOLF TOO MANY.
Man Who Catches Them With His

Lawton. Okla, = Aug. 1S.-United
States Marshal John Alternately, who
with his bare hands captured coyotes

ago for the entertainment of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was seriously wound
ed in the Wichita forest reserve at 6
o'clock yesterday evening in an en-
counter with a lobo wolf. which he
had leaped from his horse to capture.
The animals teeth made missions
through Abernathy's hand and infiict-
ed severe scratches on his breast and
abdomen. His life was saved by AL
Jennings. an attorney of Lawton, who
leaped from his horse and pulled the
vicious animal from the PROSTATE body
of the marshal.
