Specimens of white quartz contain
ng ruby silver have been received
rom the Nevada Packard mine at the
Reno office OF the company. The
lew ore was found in a cross vein
IN the ground formerly operated as
the Hampton lease, and
which produced S565,o00 as lease
The vein, at a depth of ten feet is 20
inches wide, according to a report re
.eived from Superintendent Wilkey
The course of the vein is toward the
Iime-shale contact vein, which is fur
nishing most of the ore milled, and
it is believed that it was the avenue
through which the schistose rock il

state is now richer in men of
that type, but no man who has ever
resided in Kansas has been able to out
shine Colonel w. P. Hackney of Win
field in exhibitions of initiative and in
dividuality. Colonel Hackney has been
taking things rather easy recently, but
for many years he was one of the most
interesting and unique figures in the po-
litical life of the state. Intense ambi-
tious and ready two-handed fighter,
he was in the thick of every battle that
touched his interests, and his foes
feared him always because of his dar-
ing and resource.
Many rich tales of Colonel Hack
ney's political campaigns are related by
old-timers, but none of them are more
relished by Colonel Hackney himself
than one dealing with his candidacy
for state senator from Cowley, and per
haps an adjoining county, in the early
seventies. 1t was a close fight, and
Hackney realized that he must stir his
friends to their utmost. That section
of the state had been largely settled by
veterans of the Union army and the
feelings engendered by the great war
of the preceding decade were active fac
tors in every political campaign. vet
eran of the War, Colonel Hackney was
naturally appealing to "the old soldier
vote
Numbered among Colonel Hackneys
more or less intimate acquaintance was
a Democrat who represented to him con-
tidentially that he was quietly support
ing him because of personal friendship
and regardless of partisanship. Colonel
Hackney talked to this man frequently
regarding the progress of his campaign,
but he guessed correctly that the Dem
ocrat's friendship was but a pretense
and that he would be prompt to go to
the opposition with any information
he might secure which could be used to
the advantage of the Democratic sena-
rorial candidate
''Roar-backs' were common in the
campaigns of the period, and fearing
that the Democratic newspaper might
last issue before election which he
would not otherwise have opportunity
to meet, Colonel Hackney arranged with
the editor of the Republican paper that
his issue preceding election would be
held back until after the Democratic
paper had been published. After con-
GLIDING this arrangement Colonel Hack
ney retired to his office to attend to

to him. 1t was a matter of an hour or
so before the Democratic editor closed
the forms on his prediction issue. Dem
ocratic counsellors were summoned to
hurried caucus and it was concluded
to be unwise to take chances on the
arrival of the Hoosier" So an article
was hurriedly written, setting forth
Hackney's story of his impending ex-
posture but not giving the authority on
which the story was related, put in type
and hurried to press. 1t did not occur
to anyone that Hackney would be so
brazen as to deny the truth of story
he had told himself.
Satisfied that his Democratic friend
had broken his promise to keep STILL
Hackney hurriedly secured affidavits
from four or five soldiers who resided
in remote districts of the county and
who had served in the same company
of an Indiana regiment with him
throughout the War, setting forth their
positive knowledge that the Democratic
story was an outrageous falsehood. The
Republican paper, publication of which
had been delayed purposely, came out
with a ringing denunciation of the char
acterless politicians who had at the last
moment, when they believed his friends
would be powerless to overtake it, cir
culated so infamous attack on a gallant
soldier who had fought, bled and almost
died for his country. The Republican
paper called on every Union veteran
to resent so dastardly an outrage and
to rebuke the men who had committed
it by seeing to it that every loyal voter
in the district was acquainted with the
iniquity of the attack on Hackney
Did his Comrades respond? Everyone
who knows the spirit of the ex-Union
that they did. Hackney got about all
the votes cast in the district and had
taken his seat at Topeka before his
pretended friend quit gasping for breath.

business matters that had been pushed
aside for politics.
Within a few minutes, his pretended
friend came in inquiring as to the prog
ress of Hackney's campaign. Swearing
him to secrecy, the Colonel gave him
what would be classified as IAN ear
fulr' in street parlance of the present
period. I am a gone fawn-skin,' said
Colonel Hackney. 81 guess 1 might as
well give up the fight, and what's worse,
l don't reckon I'll be able to stay in
Cowley county, even
"Why, what's the matter?' inquired
the caller excitedly.
We'll, you must not tell anybody
about it," said Colonel Hackney, be
cause something might happen that that
old devil wouldn't get here before cleo
ton to expose me and then 1 might fool
these supplemented pension grabbers
and get through anyway"
What in the world?" gasped the Dem
ocrat.
You see, I've been making my cam
paign as an ex-Union soldier" replied
Hackney and when they find out that
never was in the army, 1 won't carry a
precinct in the district
Never was in the army" shouted
the friend with the light of a resolve
shining in his face. What do you
mean?'
Il mean that 1 never was in the Union
army" replied Hackney sadly, and
that Yankee from my old coun-
ty in Southern Indiana is on his way
here to expose me and that he will get
here some time Sunday. In the Union
ARMY My God, 1 was a member of
the Knights of the Golden Circle, and
this scar on my face that 1 have been
pointing to with pride as the scar left
by a wound at Vicksburg, 1 got in a
fight to keep a bunch of Union soldiers
who were home on furlough from vot-
ing for Lincoln in 1864. This thing will
ruin me if that Hoosier gets here, that's
all. If there was just something 1 could
do to keep him from getting here before
election"
Hackney's Democratic friend did not
question the story at all, but sat for
time trying to gather his thoughts, scat
tered by the sensation of the Colonel's
confession. Nervously expressing the
hope that the case was not hopeless
and that Hackney would succeed in
heading off ~the Hoosier,' he finally ex-
cused himself and hot-footed it by
roundabout way to the office of the Dem
ocratic newspaper, just as Coloney Hack
ney had hoped he would. There he un-
loaded the tale as Hackney had told it

tablished headquarters, constantly, al
ways keeping close tab on the members
who visited Waggener's rooms. Those
were days when it was fashionable to
assume that railroad representatives re-
sorted only to improper means in an eff
fort to influence legislative support and
Weilep had well settled conviction that
every member of the legislature who
called on Waggener had been contain
mated.
At the close of the session. rumors
of the methods employed to defeat GER
tain bills were worrying Populist lead
ers considerably and an investigation
was held before a legislative committee
Weilep was one of the witnesses. After
he had taken the stand, and the usual
preliminaries had been disposed of, he
was directed to testify as to his knowl-
edge of events indicating that some of
the members had departed from the
straight and narrow path

And that was all that Weilep could
contribute to the investigation and his
examination was speedily concluded.

him to be, rather enjoyed Weilep's at
titude toward him as a joke For a
time he attempted to break down the

accepted the situation without losing
