1T LOOKS DEMOCRATIC.
To Congressman Lloyd Who Has Been
on Tour.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Representa-
tive James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chair
man of the Democratic congressional
committee, returned today from tour
of the West Fresh from conferences
with party colleagues and observations
in a number of states he claims that
the Democrats will carry three con-
gressional districts and the governor
ship in California; that the regular
Republicans will vote for the Demo-
Gratis in Kansas as result of the re-
cent insurgent victories in the primar-
les; that insurgency had developed
among the Republicans in New Mexico
in the selection of delegates for the
national convention and that the ma
tional prospects are good in Utah and
other states.

COOLEY MAY SELL OUT.
BoIes and Reilly pickering for Topeka
Western League Club.

There is a reason why Walter Boles
has refused so far to report to JACK
Holland on the trade for Shea. The
crack utility man has an ambition to
manage the Topeka team, and together
with Tom Reilly, shortstop, are dicker-
ing for the club. Any moment may see
the deal consummated as Dick Cooley
is willing to sell provided he gets his
price.
Boles and .ReilIy-rhave been promot-
irg the proposition among prominent
business men for a week or more and
way to take control. The price is set
by Owner Cooley at $4,000.
Boles began tentative negotiations
three days ago when he asked Cooley
what he would take for his club. We'd
nesday he announced the trade or
Boles to the Drummers. Holland imme-
diately got into communication with
Boles Walter refused to report say
ing he was considering a plan whereby
he would go out of the baseball BUSH
ness.
Instead of going out, however, Boles
apparently had in mind getting in deep
er than ever and seemingly has been
busy. He probably would rather oper-
ate the Topeka plant" than work for
Holland and is awaiting the outcome
of his and Reillys plans.
The club as it is is in a bad way to
pay unless remodeled extensively. Still
by the transfer of games to the towns of
the league leaders, the team is still
good investment. BY the sale of play
ers, and other negotiations Cooley has
fortified himself and can finish without
loss. If a few more players could be
landed it might vet be possible to put
the team on a winning basis this sea-
son. The bunch" is a century behind
the next lowest, Des Moines and an
aeon in tho of the leaders.
Tomorrow may see the ownership of
the club in new hands. Reilly and Boles
probably would make a winning pair of
managers with the capital behind them.
A better showing for the remainder of
the season undoubtedly would be in
etrumental in keeping the Western
League club in Topeka.

New York, Aug 64.-Ex- President
Roosevelt returned to New York early
today from his trip in the anthracite
regions of Pennsylvania. He said he
was going to Oyster Bay. His mid
night reception at the rectory of Rev.
Father ]. J. Curran in Wilkesbarre,
which was attended by several thou

fair. The streets were jammed for a
block each way from the parish

rived he found it almost impossible to
escape from the pressure.
Father Curran threw his arms
around the colonel and tugged at him
and a policeman placed his hands on

FROM POVERTY TO RICHES.
Kansan Gets Notice of Fortune When
Compelled to Quit Work.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. 3-Terence
F. Fox. a reporter for many years. who
was forced to retire last month on &C
count of failing eyesight, has received
news that he is the direct heir to a
fortune of more than $1.500,00 Cox
formerly worked an a Topeka paper.
The news Games from the Mexican
government through the British en-
bassy. and there is every evidence that
it is on good authority. Mr.. Cox has
retained Walter F. Jones as his legal
adviser to look after his interests.
The estate to which Mr.. Cox is one
of the heirs is that of his great uncle,
Roger McDermott, who died recently
in the City of Mexico. McDermott
amassed a fortune in the southern re-
public. He died a short time ago,
childless, his two sons having died, one
perishing at sea and the other dying in
Mexico.
This left as the next direct heirs to
the estate McDermott's two nieces,
Mrs. Margaret NJ. Cox of New York
city and Mrs. Kate MCGOWAN of Swim
ford county. Maryland. Mrs. Cox. who
is an old woman, is the mother Of
Terence F. Cox of Hutchinson, and it
was through her that he becomes an
heir to the estate.

MOCK HANGING A WARNING.
Anti-Horse Thief Association Gives
Vivid Demonstration.

Cedar Point, Kan, Oct. 3.-The let
tiers "A. H. T. A" adorn thousands of
buttons worn by Kansas farmers. and
they are the insignia of honor and
obedience to law. The Kansas Anti
Horse Thief association waits not upon
sheriffs and other peace officers, but
proceeds to business without cere-
mony. If a horse is stolen in any
county of the state the members leave
their plows and reapers in the fields,
saddle their best riding horses and,
armed with six-shooters and Winches-
ters, start in pursuit of the thief.
Sometimes warnings are issued and
object lessons pulled off that tend to
steer the route of the professional
horse thief into other localities. This
happened here a few days ago. Three
thousand persons had assembled at
Cedar Point to take part in an all-day
picnic, arranged by the local Anti
Horse Thief association. State and To-
cal candidates for Office of both parties
were there to make medicine, but all
were interested in the event that
should act as an object lesson to horse
thieves who might be lurking in that
community A horseman was waylaid
and robbed of his horse. The horse
thief was chased around over the big
alfalfa field and was finally lassoed and
pulled from his horse by party of anti
horse thief men, He was then drag
ged across the alfalfa field at the end
of rope by a galloping horseman and
