KANSAS PASTOR KILLED ELKs.
Bennington Man Captured Larges
AntIer in Country.

Bennington. Kan, Aug. 1S.-Rev. ].
r. Browne, pastor of the Presbyterian
church of this place, holds the record
of killing two elk that had one of
the largest antlers of any ever killed
in the United States. He was hunt
er and trapper for five years, before
the county was organized, 26 years
ago in Routt county, Colorado, and it
was there that he killed the elk.
Either pair of the antlers were so
large that to stand them on the tips
man could easily walk under the
arch thus formed. The beam of the
larger pair at the butt, easily meas
ured 20 inches in diameter.
Mr.. Browne sold the antlers for $50
to Ed Carter of Breckenridge, Colo, a
wealthy bachelor, taxidermist and nat
uralist. Mr.. Carter upon his death

among them.
few weeks to recuperate and he took
this opportunity for an outing. He
left Monday for Jackson's Hole, Wyo.,
to visit friends and to enjoy trout
fishing in one of the best lakes for
this kind of the finny tribe. namely,
Jackson lake, about forty miles south
of Yellowstone National park. While
in Wyoming he will see the feeding
grounds of the elk. At Jackson's
Hole, the state of wyoming feeds
from 10000 to $4,000 elk every win
ter. He would not be more pleased
if he could only take a gun and kill
some elk while there, but this the
state of Wyoming will not allow.

BUTTONS NAMED IN LAND QUIZ.
Effort Made to Show Former Kansas
Senator Had Interest,

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 1S.@The names
of J. r. Burton, formerly United
States senator from Kansas, and his
brother, T. T. Burton, have been
dragged into the investigation of Choc-
taw and Chickasaw Indian affairs.
Congressman c. B. Miller of Mime
apolis, who conducted vigorous ex-
animation of Governor D. H. Johnston
of the Chickasaws, started out to
prove that J. r. Burton was employed
as general attorney at $4,000 a year
in the time that Mansfield and Cor
nish were drawing $4,000 salary and
$2,70O expenses as citizenship attorn-
eys, $4,000 as general attorneys and
held the per cent contingent contract
out of which they afterwards realized
fee of $750,000.
Former Governor Johnson admitted
that he had employed ]. R. Burton,
but could not recall just when the en-
ployment began or how long it lasted.
He said that when Burton was elected
to the senate his brother succeeded
him on the senator's recommendation
The inference from Miller's ques-
tions was that q. T. Burton never did
anything for the salary of $1,000 which
he received shortly after his brothers
election to the senate. Johnston said
he could not recall what Burton had
done.
Chairman Burke wanted to know

KANSAS FLOUR is LEADING.
Volume of Business in New York
Nevertheless, Is Discouraging.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Millers are
not holding strictly to previous quo
tations and are more inclined to con-
slider bids than they were q few days
ago. Nevertheless, the volume of bust
ness is still so small as to be discour-
aging, with Kansas flour showing the
best movement of all. The reason for
this is, of course, its relative cheap
ness compared with spring wheat
flour. the additional advance being
gained by its excellent quality.
The new wheat is generally conced-
ed to be above the normal in flour
making capabilities and the Kansas
millers are making every effort to re-
gain as much as possible of the mar
ket that was lost to them year ago,
when conditions were reversed. Never
theless, orders for flour of any kind
are for one or two cars at a time,
with an occasional exception of a 1000
barrel order taken for some compar-
atively large consumer.

Expressing Political Convictions,

Some old time politicians were not
content with wearing ribbons as an
outward and visible sign of their con.
victions. In those days." writes a
follower of Pitt who bore the soothing
name of James Bland Burgess, men
had the courage of their convictions,
and would have made motley their
garb to distinguish themselves from
their opponents. To belong to the Con-
stitutional club was very simple af-
fair-no 'balloting or fees beyond cost
of costume.
"A gentleman desIrous of becoming
a member wrote his name in the club
book and hurried to the tailor to be
measured for dark blue frock with a
broad orange velvet cape and large
yellow buttons, round each of which
was inscribed Constitutional Club"
The waistcoat was of blue kerseyInere
with yellow buttons, bordered ali
round with orange colored silk. and

with yellow buttons. In point of taste
we certainly beat the blue and buff OF
our opponents. "-London Chronicle
