JUST A CANARD
Political Enemies of Kiene Try
to Injure Him With Lies.
Abe FuIfOrd Starts Story Kiene
Made Prediction Promises.

Abe Fu1ford, in the interest of Colonel
Norton, is circulating a story about L.
L. Kiene, Republican candidate for
sheriff, that Kiene and all his friends
brand as a malicious falsehood. The
story is to- the effect that Kiene, If
nominated and elected, has promised
to name certain men as deputies and
undersheriff. Kiene says there isn't a
word of truth in it, and declares the
only purpose of the story is to amage
him with the hope of helping Sheriff
Norton.
1.-The story in regard to my having
promised to appoint certain persons as
deputies and undersheriff, in case of
my nomination and election, is ma
liciously untrue Kiene said this morn
ing. Il have made no promises to any,
body as to whom 1 shall or shall not
appoint in case I am elected. No man
or set of men will name my deputies.
They will be accountable to me alone
and 1 will be accountable for them.
eff anybody tells a friend of mine this
story my friend will be justified in
branding it a malicious falsehood.''
Kiene's friends resent the implication
regarding their candidate and are
branding the efforts of the welll1nown
supporter of Norton as dirty politics.

George T. Nicholson, vice president
of the Atehison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company, who was in Topeka
a few hours last night, says that CROP
prospects in the southwest have never
been more promising than at the pres
ent time. Il have been told repeated
ly by our people in Kansas Mr.. Mich
olson said, that the state would pro-
duce 90,O00,000 bushels of wheat this
year, and from the many threshing re-
ports which reach my desk daily, 1 am
of the opinion that the yield will be
nearer 100,000,000 bushels than 90,000,00C
bushels
What do your corn reports show??''
he was asked.
1T is never safe to predict the size
of the corn crop in any of the south
western states till after the middle of
August Mr.. Nicholson replied, but We
are so near that date, and the condi-
tions are so favorable that 1 feel sure
of bumper yield. We have reports
from few localities indicating damage
on account of dry weather, but general
ly there is sufficient moisture to meet
the need for several days"

Mormon Bishop Puts Situation
Up to the People.

Ell Paso, Aug. 1.-Scores of messages
have been sent to Washington from Ell
Paso and other border towns appealing
to the United States to take some steps
which will secure protection for Amer
leans in Mexico. In many instances
messages are being sent in the names
of entire communities as in the case
of one from Maria yesterday addressed
to Congressman w. R. Smith.
The message said:
"If the United States can not handle
the Mexican situation, let Preside
county handle it,
The appeals in most cases are being
sent to congressman and senators, but
some have been directed to the White
House. The arrival last night of two
trainloads of refugees from the Nor
mon colonies of Pachuca, Chuchupa
and Garcia has brought the number
here to a full 2,500.
Dignitaries of the Mormon church
who are looking after their people are
arranging to send many of them to
other cities.
o. P. Brown, one of the Mormon
bishops, in a note to local paper de-
clares that the time has come for the
American people to act if the Mexican
government is unable and the United
States is unwilling to protect its people
in a foreign land.

this year.
Senator Dixon announced the list of
assistant secretaries for the national

are all newspaper men who have been
active in advancing the interests of the
progressive campaign. They are: Will
liam Allen White of Emporia, Kan. !;

porary chairman, former Senator Al

"Our arrangements are in excellent
shape" said Senator Dixon, land the

larger than any of US had anticipated.

represented"
The time for Colonel Roosevelt's ad-
dress to the delegates at the national
convention may be changed.
Originally it was announced Colonel
Roosevelt would speak Monday night.

noon.
Now, however, there seems to be
desire on the part of the leaders to
have the address delivered Monday
night the original date set.

SAYS HE IS ELIGIBLE.
Gregg Makes Speech on Legal QuaIifi-
cations of Sheriff.

The sheriff fight presents an inter-
esting situation on account of the con-
stitutional provision that sheriffs and
county treasurers cannot hold for more
than two terms. Some lawyer friends
Of t. L. Kiene, who is a. candidate
against Sheriff Norton, took the trou-
BILE to prepare brief on the subject
and they gave it as their opinion that
Sheriff Norton is not eligible for an
other term. They took their brief to
ex-Chief Justice Frank Doster, who is
absolutely disinterested and after n
careful examination he signed the brief
with them and gave it as his opinion
that Mr. Norton is not eligible for an
other term.
Sheriff Norton has continued to ad-
vertise that he is eligible and he saws
that he guarantees this by the hest
time he has not disclosed the names
of his advisers, although he has taken
David Gregg, a member of the Shaw
nee county bar, with him, to attend
a meeting in one of the colored SET
tlements on the East side where he
his opinion that Colonel Norton is
eligible. Those who know Mr.. Gregg
as a lawyer have been considera bIy
amused at his legal effort in this be-
half
Chief Justice Johnston, in an opin-
ion based upon the constitutional pro-
vision in question has said that if a
sheriff holds a part of one term and
all of the next he would be ineligible
of the succeeding term because that
would make him hold for more than
two successive terms. If this should
be applied to Sheriff Norton he would
be unable to hold the office if he was
elected and this would either result
in a vacancy or the placing of a Dem
ocrat in the otTice.
