THE MAN?
He Claims United States Senator Fight
and Backs 1t With Figures.

In a statement made to the State
Journal today, Judge William H.
Thompson of Garden City stated that
he was confident he had won the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator. Late returns have
given the Seventh district man addi-
tional votes and he claims that the
Legislative districts he has carried will
equal those of both Farrelley, Band,
and Allen. his three pponents.
''I have already carried at least so
legislative districts with others to hear
FROM declared Thompson. Returns
today give me Brown, Doniphan. Jack
son, Marshall, Pottawatomie and Ora
ham, These with the districts already
reported in my favor, insure enough
go give me the nomination. 1 now
have so districts and my lead will be
increased when some of the other
counties report"
Hugh P. Farrelley of Chanute still
claims the nomination. His strength,
however, was largely in the Second,
Third and Fourth districts and friends
of Judge Thompson believe that most
of the Farrelley votes have already
been accounted for. while some of the
counties in remote sections of the state
have made no report. 1t is believed
that Thompson is strong in these alb
sent counties and that their strength
will give him more than enough to
insure the nomination.

MUST WAIT
Topeka Agency Has Used Appropria-
ton and Waits OH Congress.

Less than one-half of the people who
receive pensions through the Topeka
pension agency, will receive their quar-
terIy pay on schedule time and the
others must wait until after the gen.
eraI pension appropriation Dill IS
passed The sum of 81, $4,000 has been
allowed the local agency, and AFTER
paying those who live in Topeka, the
agent has begun paying the out of town
pensioners. The Topeka agency in
cIrdes all territory in Kansas, Okla
homa, Missouri, Colorado and New
Mexico.
The pensioners who live in Topeka re-
ceived their pay checks Immediately
after their voucher was received in the
pension office. The clerical force of the
office began sending checks to the PEN
siCners who live outside the city on Au-
gust 8 and will continue as long $
there is money on hand to redeem
them. The sum of 81 100000 will have
been paid out in checks by closing time
today and this will leave $675,00 to be
paid out next week.
An additional force of about ten
clerks is usually employed to assist the
regular force in writing checks and
mailing them to the pensioners but the
extra force is not being employed this
month. This will cause some of the
pensioners to get their checks later
than usual. The entire amount will
nave Deen exhausted by next w eOneS-
day night and the pensioners who do
not get their checks will be required TO
wait until the general bill is passed by
congress unless other provisions are
made.
It is hoped and expected by the Off
GERS of the local agency that this bill
will be passed within few days. Con-
gresS expects to adjourn Thursday,
August Is, and if the business of the
session is completed in time to permit
this, the pensioners will get their
money by the end of next week.

ing effect today on the wheat market.
The Kansas state report, too, giving to-

Topeka Bank Clearings Make

New York, Aug. O-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade and crop reports, barring corn,
are even more encouraging than here
tofore, improvement in trade has be-
come more widespread, buyers visiting
the larger centers are purchasing more
freely, labor is well employed, the rail-
roads have fewer idle cars, collections
are less difficult to make, money is
firmer because business demand has
expanded and finally feeling --.roughout
the surplus grain crop producing re-
giCns is better than it has been for sew
eral years.
1t is true that retail trade is rather
dull and that clearance sales are gen.
eral, but this situation is always char
acterlStic of this time of the year. job
bers of dry goods have done an increas-
ed business, and in turn have been
compelled to purchase from first hands.
Buyers appear to be actuated by fears
of an understocked market due to past
ana present demands as to labor
troubles.
In iron and steel, further improve
ment is manifested. Mill operations are
active, the railways have ordered about
100000 tons of rails for next years de-
livery, orders for equipment continue TO

faces exceptionally large orders
