Leavenworth, Kan, June 3.-Con-

army have just come to hand that may
result in a congressional investi CATION
of the whole subject. Officers form

Not lack of funds, but utter ineffi-

HON. D. D. HUMPHREYS
PRESENTS CLAIM TO
SENATE NOMINATION
LEWIS COUNTY CANDIDATE HERE
TO MFNGLE WITH MAURY
DEMOCRACY.
MAKES A FINt IMPRESSION
Friends Claim That Under All The
Circumstances the Small County 10
Entitled to the Honor of Furnishing
The Candidate This Time.

Hon. D. D. Humphreys, of Lewis
county, who has received the endorse
ment of the democracy of his county
for senator from this, twentieth dis
trict, is here today meeting and con-
ferring with the democrats Of the
county. Mr.. Humphrey is anxious
that he receive the endorsement of
Maury county, because should he do
so, 1t would insure his election to the
senate.
Two years ago, Mr.. Humphreys was
the choice of Lewis county. After
ward Maury county democrats in their
convention, endorsed Hon. J. w. G.
Church for the senate, and in the in
| terest of harmony, Mr.. Humphreys
withdrew and Lewis county had no
candidate. He again went before the
democrats of his county this year and
in a warm contest defeated for Ssna-
tor, Fred l.. Schubert, for the nomina-
ton. He has, therefore, made two
contests in his county.
Mr.. Humphreys believes that Lewis
county is entitled to the senator this
year since that county has not had
the nominee in tvelve years. The last
time that the senator was conceded
to Lewis county was in 1904, when
| Schubert was elected. Two years
later Maury county furnished the sena-
tor, when William B. Greenlaw was
elected. In 1908 Perry county fur
| nished the senator and sent John A..
Greer. In 1910 Maury county elected
the senator and sent DR.. T. Bledsoe
Brown; in 1912 and 1914 Maury county
also elected the senator and sent j.
w. C. Church. Friends of Mr.. Hum,
phreys claim that Maury county hav-
ing had the senator eight years and
Perry two years, since Lewis county
had the member it is time that county
was honored.
Mr.. Humphreys made splendid i'm
preston today. He is an old friend

school many years ago in Hickman

To Tolley Farm belongs the unusual
distinction Of having the three first
horses bred within its confines, in
their first races on regular tracks, to
make records better than 2:2O. This
is an exceptional record and will be
sure to prove quite an asset to this
growing breeding establishment.
George T, the splendid young phe-
RomeRa, discovered by Mr.. Tolley's
son, started in his first race last week
at Bell Verna and won the first two
heats in 2:16A in both heats. He was
then withdrawn and in his place the
same owner substituted John A Hal,

SPLENDID RAINS
OVER THE COUNTY
MAKE 1T EASY FOR THE FARMERS
TO PREPARE FOR FALL
SOWING.

Splendid rains over the county dur
ing the past two days have done much
to insure a good yield of late corn.
Pastures have never been better for
this season of the year than they are
now. In fact, grass is as plentiful as
is ordinarily the case in the early
srping and cattle are generally report
ed to be making gains, although the
fly pest is worse than 1t was in the
dry years. The rains are making 1t
much easier to turn and prepare the
land for fall sowing.

G. o. P. Backers Retrench.

tFrom the New York Morning Telegraph
tlnd.l
Frenzied efforts at retrenchment
are being made by persons in Wall
Street who during the past several
days have been betting on Hughes
for the Presidency. What causes this
trend is not definitely known.
Former Hughes hackers yesterday
were striving in vain to place their
money on Wilson, asking 2 to 1, the
odds they gave themseles when on
the other side of the fence. Evidently
Hughes is going back, for Wall Street
sentiment is barometer by which
elections may be gagged.
On paper Hughes is still the favorite
but only on paper. At odds of 6 to
it is virtually impossible to place
money on him.
Broker McQuade, a Curb operator,
has $25, 1000 he would like to bet on
Wilson at odds of 6 to 5, but the Re-
publicans are not in betting mood.

The mems and children's parade
on last Sunday afternoon was great
success. More than 300 men and as
many boys and girls we're in line.
The parade was headed by Covers
Juvenile Band and by Judge Q. l..
Garrett, carrying large U. s. flag.
After the parade the people crowd
ed the large tabernacle. An offering
of nearly $500 was taken for the re-
vival party who had labored so
earnestly in the meeting during the
past FIVE weeks. This was the first
collection taken for them. 1t was
augmented about 5000 by a collec-
tion taken at the evening service.
AT the afternoon service Deputy
Sheriff Sam Doss brought to the tab
ernacie Oscar Hull and VIM. Ross,
both confessed violators of the Local
Option law. They asked to be per-
mitted to say few words to the au-
dience which request was granted.
They each in turn confessed their
guilt and said they we're willing to
take their just punishment, but they
said since this meeting had begun
they both had confessed their sins
to Almighty God and had found for
giveness. They each said their
trouble was due to drink and they
had determined that when they again
were free men never to touch liquor
or have anything to do with the sale
of it. Their talks seemed to be
earnest and sincere and the audience
so received them. They are the
only prisoners left in jail.

Widows are to get Pensions.

Through an amendment to the
annual pension appropriation bill,
passed by the house of representa-
tives, widows who were wives Of SOL
diers during their service in the Civil
War will receive $40 a month. The
amendment further provides that all
Civil war widows shall receive $40 a
month when they have attained the
age of 70 years, an increase of So.
Widows who have remarked, but now
divorced, are again restored to their
former pensionable status.
Under existing laws, only widows
carried prior to June, 1890, are enti-
tied to pensions, while this bill sets
June 27, 1906, as the limit. The bill
carried nearly $3.50, 100000, and it was
estimated the increase to widows
would amount to something like 3d.
100000.
During tho debate on the bill q
report from the commission on PEN
sions was read, showing that at pres
ent there are 74s, ,147 pensioners Of al
classes, and that they were dying at
the rate Of 5000 per month, 5O,s51
