voters would give him about the same
majority that Stubs will receive.
You NAV not believe me, but I tell
you that Humphrey is going to win
over Schenck in the race for county at
torney Two years ago Schenck was
helped a whole lot by the landslide TO
Harris. He got many Republican votes
on local and prohibition issues, but this
year Humphrey will not have the CUB
ernatorial landslide to contend with
and Schenck will not have the solid
support of his own party by a long
shot. They talk about slush fund for
Humphrey. l want to tell you that
Humphrey had a hard time in paying
his regular assessment to the county
committee and was aided in this mat
ter by his brother-in-law
1.-The fight on Wilkerson for sheriff
does not amount to anything. He will
be reelected by over 1000 majority
With the other candidates on the coun-
ty ticket it is only question of the
size Of their majorities. There is soma
fight on Bergundthal over in North
Topeka where there is a strong Demo-
cratic vote, but 1 do not believe that 1t
amounts to anything.
"a careful poll of the county by the
committeeman from each township in
dicates that the average majority for
the G.. o. p. candidates this fall VIII be
1900. Bryan did not carry the county
Bryan sentiment here and what won
ders it will accomplish. 1 believe thai
the Taft meeting held here last month
was one of the factors in turning back
the tide of any Bryan sentiment that
might have prevailed to any great ex-
tent in the minds of the independent
voters in this county. The record
breaking registration in this city 1 re-
gard as a good indication for the Re
publican victory have been telling you
about. The county committee is work
ing hard and there is no faction to con-
tend with. We have plenty of funds
with which to prosecute the campaign
and we are making an aggressive
fight
Besides the Republican candidates
mentioned as having a fight on their
hands, it might be well to speak of
some second termers who will be re-
elected without serious opposition. r.
L. Thomas, district clerk, has made
splendid record in his conduct of that
office and will likely contest with the
popular Stanley Medlicott for the high
est majority on the Republican ticket
next month. 1t will be remembered
that last election Medlicott led the
ticket with a majority of $500.
Eight years ago Bailey. Republican.
carried this county by $500 majority
and two years ago Harris, Democrat,
carried the county by 700 majority.

T0OTLE RANCH SOLD.
Tract of 10000 Acres Along the Rio
Grande Changes Owners.

St Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 27.-The great
Tootle ranch, following for seventy
seven miles the Rio Grande at
the border of Texas and Mexico ex-
tending southeast from a point seven
ty miles east of Ell Paso, was sold here
last night to ]. H. Adams of the Balti-
more hotel, Kansas City, for a little
more than half a million dollars.
There are more than 10000 acres in
the tract much of which is noun
famous. While Mr.. Adams appears as
the purchaser of the property, the
Tootle estate selling direct to him, he
made the purchase for J. D. Cameron,
who is the head of syndicate that
will come into possession of the land as
soon as the papers are finally made
out. 1t was not a spot cash transac-
tion for the entire amount. 1t is un-
derstood here that 10 per cent of the
purchase price constituted the cash
payment, but the entire debt vet due is
to be liquidated at an early date. The
land will be cut up into small tracts
and disposed of at once. Sale of much
of it is said to have been already
negotiated by the new owners.

ROOSEVELI'S BIRTHDAY.
The President Is Fifty Years Old
Today.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Theodore
Roosevelt, twenty-sixth president of
the United States, became so years of
age today He began his fifty-first
year by getting to his desk early and
spending the day hard at work in his
office, receiving such members of his
cabinet as are in town at the regular
semi-weekly meeting and discussing
with them matters relating to their
departments.
Congratulatory messages poured
into the presidents office and at the
White House all day. Many foreign
rulers took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to send messages of warm
friendship and good viii through their
diplomats who called in person to
present them to the president. Many
callers at the White House were per-
sons who came to extend their con-
gratulations. Among these was the
delegation of the members of the
Hungarian club of New York city, who
yearly on this day pa- their compli-
ments to the president and offer the
congratulations of the club.

FIRE AT SALISBURY.
Greater Portion of Massachusetts,
Summer Colony Destroyed.

Salisbury, Mass, Oct. 27.-The greater
portion of the thickly housed summer
colony at Salisbury beach was wiped
out early today by a fire which de-
stroyed more than 100 cottages, situa-
ted along the beach front. north of the
mouth of the Marrimac river. Practi-
cally all of the houses had been aban-
doned for the season. The damage is
estimated at $100, 900.
After the flames had ragged for three
hours the fire fighting forces of Ames-
bury Salisbury and Newburyport, to-
gether with the life savers from the
beach station, pulled down several cot
tages between the burning area and the
larger dance halls and prevented the
fire from reaching that section. A few
of the smaller hotels were burned.
The burned area extends for about a
mile on both sides of the tracks of the
Boston & Maine railroad.

RURALES ORDERED OUT.
Will Try to Stop Atrocious Murders at
Inde.

Ell Paso, Tex. Oct. 27.-Mexican
rurales have been ordered to the
mining camp Inde, state of Durango,
Mexico, from Torreon, according to a
special to the Ell Paso Herald, in con-
sequence of three atrocious murders in
that vicinity for which the police have
failed to fix responsibility.
Barney Towns, an American mining
man, was recently killed beside road
and his body dragged into bushes
where it lay several days. Next Fran
cisco Arriola, a wealthy planter, was
found murdered in the same region,
and last Sunday the dead body of
Senior Cruz Gandarilla was found.
The rura1es have been ordered to
hunt down a noted bandit who is said
to be in that locality.

KERN MAKES CHARGES.
Says Trusts Are Spending 100000 in
Indiana.

Upton, Ind, Oct. 27.-"I am re-
liably Informed and make this specific
charge that 100000 of money, largely
contributed by trusts and combines,
was brought into Indiana last Sunday
and passed through the hands of Hon.
Fred Sims, secretary OF the state board
of commissioners"
John w. Kern, the Democratic vice
presidential nominee, made the above
declaration before a good sized audi
ence here today.
at think that every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen will see the necessity
for the publication Of campaign con-
tributions before election week." said
Mr.. Kern. 'The people would be
much better advised as to how they
should vote if they knew the extent to
which the great unlawful monopolies
and combines were contributing money
for campaign purposes, and If they
also knew which party was the recipi-
ent of these contributions.
Every sensible man knows that
when a contribution is made to
campaign fund by one Of these law
less and plundering combinations it
expects to have value received, in the
form of special favors."
Mr.. Kern reviewed the action of the
respective conventions of the party
with reference to publicity of cam
paign contributions and continued:
81 do not wonder that the Republi-
can party this year is declining to give
the names of the men and corporations
that are supplying it's sinews of war.
If the people of Indiana knew the
names of these donors, Bryan would
carry the state by 100000. Such pub
lication would disclose the fact that
every unlawful combination in Amer
lea has poured out money unlaWfully
absorbed from the peoples earnings
into the Republican treasury for the
purpose of debauching the ballot"
Reverting to the alleged 100000
contribution recently brought into this
state Mr.. Kern continued:
''Mr. Sims is a most estimable gen.
tleman and a warm personal friend of
mine, but am compelled to say that
it is a sad spectacle to see a public
official who is required to pass every
year on the question as to what
amount of taxes shall be levied upon
the railroads and other corporations of
his state, handling the money that
these corporations are called upon to
contribute to the campaign fund. The
assessing or taxing officer. who, like
of Indiana, has the power to raise or
lower the taxes of corporations, has
rare facilities for frying fat out of the
corporations whose properties they are
required to value.
''I hope the time may come when
no public officer will be allowed to
neglest his official duties and engage
in such questionable business. The
time is not far distant when aroused
public sentiment will so purify the po-
litical atmosphere as to make the fur
ther perpetration of such wrongs i'm
possible
Sims Makes Denial.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 27.-When
shown the story from Upton today,
wherein j. w. Kern charged him
funds. Secretary of State Sims said:
This is absolutely false. know
nothing of a 100000 campaign fund
for Indiana. 1t is about time for
these stories to be circulated, as the
Democrats hope to help their cause in
this way"
