Woman Hands Money to
One of the 1O3 JailbirdS
Off for Fort Smith.
CROWD DEPARTING,
BREAKS INTO SONG
Taken From District Jail to Relieve
the Congested Conditions
There-Nearly All Negroes.

A crowd of women and children and
a few men stood at the eastern side Of
the railroad yards at the Union Depot
yesterday afternoon. watching the
tracks Of the Southern railroad.
Suddenly an old woman broke from
the crowd, and hurrieo across the tracks
to a waiting train, moaning "Oh, myi
Oh, MY what am TO do? What is to-
become Of me2' She made her way close
to the side of a coach from the window
of which leaned a man with outstretch-
cd hand. The wOman's clothes were
ragged, but she eagerly drew a crump
led bill from her dress, and passed
il to the man at the window.
A moment later the train pulled out
OF the depot and disappeared in the
tunnel.
1t was but one of the few pathetic in
cidents of the transfer Of the prisoners
from the District Jail to Fort Smith,
Arkansas.
The prisoners were handcuned IN
pairs, and taken in busses to the depot
and then marched in a long line to the
special train that the Southern railroad
had provided. There were four regu-
latiOn day coaches for the prisoners and
a coordination day ana baggage coach
guards. when of duty.
Break Into Song.
Marching down the platform, the
crowd OF prisoners started singing and
in IN instant, a mighty chorus was ring
ing forth There were some splendidly
musical voices IN the crowd Of Monde
scripts, and they sang hymns and then
lIylier airs While the bulk Of prisoners

were victims of circumstances rather
than innaTely vicious.
We'll. l tell you l am mighty glad
to see that crowd taken out of the city
remarked one Of the police guards at
the depot. There are some mighty bad
customers in that lot"
But all OF the prisoners were not of
this clement, and some of the visitors
tc the train were surprised 10 find for
Iqer lGu.toT or neWsDOy among The
crowd under sentence of deportation.
Under the schedule Of The railroad
company, the train which runs as a
special throughout is due at Fort Smith
tomorrow morning. After the men serve
out their sentences, they will be provid-
ed with return transportation to Wash
lngtOn, but II they prefer TO remain in
Arkansas and try to shift for them
selves, they win be given their liberty
at Fort Smith, and will not be per-

Relieves Congestion.
The transfer Of the prisoners WAS
made for the purpose of relieving the
badly congested condition OF 1he District
Jail The cost OF transportation, in
Guiding the return Of the prisoners, will
be 5000. II all Of the crowd should Ct
eide TO return.
Warden Mckee went Il charge Of the
Il ain yesterday with twenty-stX guards,
and DIR. Charters, Of the Iail. TO help
keep the crowd in order and good
health. The last sound as the train dis
appeared was chorus from the negroes
who insisted that the trip was to be
u lark for them. and they would all be
back in Washington just as soon as
they mad served out their sentences. .

No boiling, either winter OF summer.
No fire to keep red hot; no firing and

Smith vs.. CaIderhead.

When one calmly and without pre-
judice sizes up the congressional fight
In this district the conclusion must
be reached that there are but two men
really in the race-Smith Of Abilene
and Calderhead Of Marysville. Judge
Rees Is not and never will be in 1t
hard enough to notice and, holding a
judicial position, he should never
have permitted himself to become
candidate. With the highest regard
for him personally, the Blade has al-
ways contended that his candidacy
was q mistake, that he cannot legally
be candidate, and that he should
have followed the example Of Mr..
Bullen and retired, leaving Mr.. Smith
who was firstiu the field against Mr..
Calderhead, to fight the battle out
with him.
The writer has known s. s. Smith
for 20 years; he has been with him
and been against him in political
fights and has always found him
fighting fair. We never knew him to
do dirty thing in politics, but we
have known him to unselfshly set
aside his own interests more than
once to assist q friend. Surely such
. man, open and fair deserves the
confidence Of his own neIghbOrs, and
we are assured BY reputable men that
be has It and that his vote in Dlckin-
SON county viii be one to make Mr..
cit up and take notice.

Home Republicans
Think Of S. S. Smith

HeringtOn Times: To say that we
are surprised atthe action Of the Abb.
lene Chronicle in selling out to Mr..
Rees who is acandidate against Sam
Smith for congressional honors il
putting it mildly to say the least.
The present editor Of that paper
promised Mr.. Smith, even before he
announced for Congress. that he was
entitled to and should receive their
unequivOcal support, otherwise Mr..
Smith would never have gotten into
the race. The editor, Mr.. Heath,
even went SO far as to sign Mr..
Smiths nomination papers, thus
promising him in SO many words his
personal and loyal support. But now
that he sees that Sam Smith has a
good fighting chance to win, that
paper comes out with column and a
half article, selling out soul, body and
spirit to the Rees for congress outfit.
and that, too, on the simple plea that
they don't believe that Sam Smith can
win.
Sam Smith was the first candidate to
announce in the 9th district against
Mr.. Calderhead, and every Dickinson
county Republican should stand
loyalty by him, and would only for
the influence brought to bear by those
who have not the good Of Dickinson
county at heart. The indignation
meeting held IN Abilene last Friday
night at which between two aud three
hundred leading Republicans were
present and helped to adopt ringing
resolutions taking to task the
Chronicle for Its flop against Dickin-
son county home man, speaks loudly
for those men who have the best in
terests Of the Republican party Of the
5th congressional district In mind.
Republicans Of Dickinson county, |
stand by your cOlOrs, and support
Sam Smith for congress, first last and
all the time. II you will he is surely
going to win.

learn, Anpped over to Rees.
To desert a home candidate at this
stage Of the campaign, a man or .
newspaper should be able to give the
the best Of reasons, but the Chronicle
is unable to offer any excuse what
ever f6F Its dirty work.
The citizens Of Abilene and Hope
have held indignation meetings and
expressed themselves in no uncertain
terms. People Of Solomon whom we
have talked to about the matter feel
very "sore" at the Chronicle, and
some who had no particular interest
in any Of the candidates say that they
will now give Smith their hearty sup
port.
To say the least, the Chronicles
action was unkind, uncalled for and
most dishonorable, and the effect is
certain to be just the opposite to
what was expected and hoped for.
Every man in the county has sense
Of home pride, as well as of justice,
and their sympathy goes out to any
man who is betrayed in the house Of
his friends.

This iS the vigorous way the Solo
mon Tribune puts it:
The campaign has commenced to
warm up in spots, and in Abilene the
political pot is at the boiling point
since the Chronicle transferred its
support from Smith to Rees.
Sam Smith has besn a resident Of
Dickinson county for more than 25
years and has long been recognized IS
one Of the Republican leaders In this
district. he went into the congress
sional race only after being assured
Of the support Of the Chronicle to the
end Of The campaign, and the editor
Of that paper even signed bis nomi-

Chronicle has deserted s. s. Smith
and in its issue Of yesterday comes as
a champion Of the candidacy Of R. R.
Rses for congress, although It has re-
lpsatedly endorsed Mr.. Smith and the
platform on which he is running.
The Chronicles excuse Is that it does
mot believe Smith has a chance to win
and that Rses is the really strong

What Hope Thinks
Of Home TreaChery

Abilene Republicans are not th'
only ones who feel outraged and in
censed at the course OF the Chronicle
The following from the Hope Dis
patch tells Of the feeling there;
After hearing of the action Of the
Abilene Chronicle in bolting its sup
port Of the Hon. S. s. Smith for the
Republican nomination for represeu'
tative from the Fifth congressional dis
trict, few Republicans wishing to
express their indignation at such q
contemplate action, framed the fol-
flowing set of. resolutions and circu-
lated them for the signatures Of other
party members here. Only few
moments were spent in circulating the
paper and the names as published
here were secured. The circulators
express their apologies to those Re-
publicans whom they did not have
time or opportunity to see.
Resolved; That we, the Republl-
can voters Of the city Of Hope, Dlckin--
son county, state Of Kansas, are very
indignant at the action taken by the
Abilene Chronicle in transferring its
support from Hon. S. s. Smith to
Judge R. R. Rees for Republican
nomination for congressman, from
this, the Fifth congressional. district.
Further, that we hereby express and
confirm our allegiance to Mr.. Smith,
first because we believe him to be the
best qualified candidate seeking nOmi-
nation, and second we believe in sup
