LAST ONES COME IN
Petitions of Candidates Filed With
Secretary of State.

This is the last day for filing petit
lions for nominations for state and
district offices. Practically every can
didate is in now. There is some ques-
ton about whether today or yesterday
really was the last day but this will
have to be decided when the board of
canvassers meets Monday to go over
the petitions and decide whose names
shall be printed on the official primary
ballots. The attorney general has not
issued any formal opinion on the sub
ject and the secretary of state accept
ed the petitions that arrived today.
F. Dumont Smith, one of the leaders
of the senate lodge and "the senator
from Edwards and seventeen other
counties" filed his petitions today.
After the grilling Smith received in the
last two sessions of the legislature he
announced at the close of the special
session that he would make no effort
to return to the senate He has
changed his mind since then and had
his petitions circulated. There are
two other candidates against him in
the district and they are making a
hard fight for the nomination.
w. P. Morrison, Democratic candi-
date for congress in the Seventh disr
trict was the only other candidate to
file his petition today.
The Republican candidates for gov
ernor, w. r. Stubs and Cyrus Leland
filed their petitions Wednesday after
they heard that yesterday was likely
to be the last day. Leland has the
largest petition, containing ten thou
sand names secured in IS counties,
which was a great surprise to every
one and especially to his opponent.
Stubs had eight thousand. names on
his petition. Chester 1. Long, who
wants to succeed himself as United
States senator, filed the largest petit
ton of the year. His petition contain
ed 13,46S signatures of Republicans in
SO of the los counties of the state

Justice Pollard Decides One
Point in Perkins Case.
Suit to Collect Insurance Cant
Be Prosecuted Now.
HOW PERKINS DIED.
That Is Question First to Be
Decided.
Decision a Partial Victory for
Insurance Company.
HOW PERKINS DIED.

The executors of the Perkins estate,
Adolph c. Greisa, William E. Hazen
and Alfred Whitman, all of Lawrence,
Kan, must not press their suit against
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York for the recovery of 500. 900
of life insurance against the late Lucius
H. Perkins until the validity of the
insurance contract has been determin-
ed in the courts. Or in other words
until 1t has been fully determined
whether Lucius H. Perkins committed
suicide or fell accidentally from the
roof of his home in Lawrence, June 1,
1907, to his death. The attorneys for
the insurance company fought against
the prosecution of the suit by the at
torneyS for the executors to collect the
100000 in legal fight that extended
over several months.
Wherefore" says Judge John c.
Pollock in handing down his decision
in the United States circuit court this
afternoon. considering all the facts
and circumstances which gave rise to
the controversy here presented, as
pleaded in the bill, and the attitude of
all the parties to the record at the date
of the commencement of this suit, the
nature of the contract relied upon and
all other matters and things appearing
on the face of this record, 1 have ar
rived at the conclusion that the order
applied for by complainant must be
granted, and the action at law brought
by the executors to recover from COM
plainant damages for the breach of
contract in suit, must be stayed until
the validity of the insurance contract
may be determined. That such a Pc
culiar state of affairs existed at the
date of the filing of this bill, as shown
hereby and from this record as war
ranted this court in assuming jurisdic-
ton over the parties to this bill. and
the subject matter of the controversy
to grant necessary interlocutory relief
not obtaining to complainant by way
of defense to an action at law brought
against it on such contract, and having
assumed jurisdiction, to continue to
the end of the controversy presented
by the bill. To this end the demurrer
and plea to the bill will be overruled.
Defendant II so advised is given to
the August rules to make answer to
the bill and the law action is stayed"
The decision is a decided victory for
the insurance company as the court
holds that the court in equity will re-
tain control of the controversy until
the end and that the insurance COM
pany shall not now be forced to an ac-
ton at law.

He was deliberate in action. firm
IN conviction, andaever ready to accept
responsibility for what he did. Few
men have exerted more positive in

them.

lows:
A national sorrow has again fallen
upon the republic In the death OF
Stephen Grover Cleveland the country
loses it's most distinguished private cit
izen, and everywhere throughout the
land without regard to section or party
rests a sense of profound bereavement.
Twice the recipient of the highest civic
honor his countrymen could bestow, he
filled the exalted Office Of president of
the United States with ability and
honor and with the fidelity of a patriot
to the noble traditions and lofty ideals
that have marked the high Office to
whichhe was called And tina conspicuous
since the close of his long and splendid
official career has. but served to give
added lustre to his name.
AS token of high respect to the
memory of this great man and in rec
ognition of the sentiments that are
common to all our people the executive
council has ordered that the flag be
displayed at half mast upon the capt.
toll building for a period of thirty days.
And while united in sympathy and in
sorrow may all true citizens be also
united in a new devotion to the high
conception of citizenship he typified SO
