VIEWS OF CURTIS.
The Senator Visits Various Portions of
Kansas.

Senator Curtis returned Saturday
afternoon from a short visit to differ
ent sections of the state.
While away he attended the Old Sol
diers' reunion at Baxter Springs and
Washington, Kansas, and reports large
attendance at each place. He also at
tended the Old Settlers reunion of
Marshall county at Frankfort where
there was a very large crowd. He
we'll pleased with the reception that
was given him.
He says he found crop conditions
better than he expected because of the
crop failures. He found the people
happy and ready for a good time, and
they all seemed to have it.
While he did not talk politics. he
said he was pleased to find that Presi-
dent Taft was growing in favor among
the people, even those who did not
agree with him politically and those
who did not agree with all his policies
had good words for his fearlessness
and for the manner in which he has
handled the great questions since his
inauguration. He spoke of the rail-
road legislation, the management OF
the various departme the changing
of the revenues from a deficit to
surplus, the handling of the Mexican
situation. the corporation tax. his veto
of the various popgun tariff measures,
as ne termed anu 4liS ASAuSeAA ~
permit the Democrats and the few In
surgents who Joined them to put him
in a hole.
There was much talk of the situa-
ton in the Second congressional dis
trict and a general regret that the
committee did not provide for a pri-
mary at the first meeting
Mr.. Curtis goes to Arkansas City and
Ellsworth this week. He was to have
spoken at Leavenworth Monday. but

the sickness of his sister.

Beattie's to be set up on a seat so
that it would not fall down. Counsel
for the defense objected and the court
ruled that the question was one of
common knowledge and could not be

ENDS THE QUARANTINE.
Oniciany Lifted Today by Repeal of
Ordinance.

The death Of the smallpox epidemic
on the East side was heralded today
when the board of city commissioners
by a special ordinance published in the
early editions of the State Journal,
raised the quarantine that has been
hanging over the isolated district for a
NUM- Der of weeks.
The ordinance was printed first in a
noon edition of the State Journal.
AS soon as the presses started rolling
a gang of men tore down the fences,
and the guards were lifted from their
positions near the one lone house in
which the disease exists.
The smallpox district designated
some time ago as that part of the city
east of the Santa Fe tracks, south of
Sixth avenue, with the city limits on
the east and south, now is taken back
into the city with a washed face
At no time has the smallpox spread
over the quarantined section The
quarantine was extended that there
might be no danger of it's sprea ding.
Two weeks ago the city commissioners
planned to raise the quarantine but
not until every dangerous case was
wiped out absolutely was it eonsid-
cred. Now only. p convalescent case
remain and the CITY and state board
of health feel that no danger can lurk
in its situation

Worse for His Defeat.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-George Hacken-
schmidt slept soundly last night. The
restlessness from which he is said to
have suffered for several nights prior

which had been put forward as an ex-
cuse for his defeat, apparently had en-
tirely disappeared He still complained
of pain in the knee which had been
given a severe wrenching by tho
Iowan, but there was no indication of
a serious injury. The Russion is ex-
pected to sail from New York for Eng

''The committee bill was put through

1T TAUGHT A LESSON.
When the Delaware Fired on the
Panther by Mistake.

Washington. Sept. 5.-A valuable les
son for use in war has been drawn by
the naval experts from the report that
the dreadnought Delaware through
mistake fired at the repair ship
Panther instead of the old battleship
San Marcos in the ordnance expert
ments in Chesapeake bay a few DAYS
ago. The fact that the Delaware lost
its target and pointed its gun at "a yes
sci anchored 1900 yards from the San
Marcos demonstrates, IL is claimed
that a ship in battle viii not be able
to center its fire upon any particular
vessel Of the enemy at the great range
at which any future combats viii be
waged-say $4,000 yards. However
carefully commander may draw his
plans they may go awry IL he endeav-
ors to match ship to ship of the op-
fleet appears upon the horizon some
experts contend, the warships must
open fire upon any and all of them
The reported mistake Of the Delaware
has served to increase the a7prehcn-
sion which invariably pervades the
navy department during the target
practice period-that some serious mis-
hap may mar the exercises. While
there have been many narrow escapes
in the past there has never been an
accident to a naval or merchant vessel
through lack OF precaution or misdi-
rected fire. The Atlantic fleet IS now
off the Chesapeake Capes demolishing
targets. Extraordinary care is beinE
taken to see that merchant steamers
are kept out OF range.

1t was learned yesterday that Miss
Voiles had declared she knew nothing
whatever about corrosive sublimate un-
til the man gave the tablets to her and

She described him as a man versed in

VOTES BOUGHT. HE SAYS.

The following editorial was publish
ed in the Lau,el Democrat, which
Mr.. Thomas N. Baldwin is editor. in
its issue Of last week:
an his address accepting the
Democratic nomination for Governor
Mr.. A. p. German declred that be
was in favor Of investigating any
charge Of fraud growing out Of the
late primary and that he had writ, n
letter in the McNulty case in Balti-
more. This is the proper way 10
handle this matter, but we would
suggest that Mr.. German come near
er home and have an investigation
made of some Of the workers in
Laurel, who aye charged with buying
votes and with other unfair practices.
@Sbould Mr.. German declare in
favor Of doing this, we will be only
too glad to furnish him with names
Of parties who it is alleged bought
votes and the names of those who
sold their votes The primary is
over, and we accept the result, but
believe that no primary was ever held
in Prince Georges county when more
votes were bought and more unlaw-
full practices indulged in than in the
last primary. What will be done
about it?"
