The Wichita Eagle says the fight for the aom ination for governor is "narrowing down." On the other band, it is open, wide open, and still getting wider.

The Topeka Herald says "There are a great number of eminently respectable people who are opposieg prohibition. What ho! Where is General Hudson? Richard Crokar is coming back from England at once to assnme the dictatorship of Tammany. The only way Oroker will ever get Tammy to recognize any boss bat himself will be to die. The consnlships at St. Pierre and Cape Town are two jobs that will not be chased a great deal by hungry or ambitions poli ticians.

At St. Pierre the volcano covers them np, and at Oape Town they starve to death for lack of salary. One man, who holds a government job, bas been found who says be is sorry that he ever belonged to the Twentieth Kansas, and wants to forget It would be inter, eating to bear from the other members of the regiment as to their opinion of this somewhat peculiar one. Yon don't know what the "revolution in Hayti is about, ds you? Well, the inhabitants themseves down there will have forgotten what it was about in a month. It is nothing but an election, and instead of settling the matter with ballots, as we do, they fight it out.

Atchison Globe: It is announced that the Presbyterians may not, after all, revise their creed. What of it? The Presbyterian creed was revised by the people, long ago, and the little old "doctors of insist on the old doctrines are only making themselves ridiculous. They are cutting no figure, except to make the people laugh. It is hardly to be suggested, even, that Sanator Burton would lend himself to the scheme suggested to disrupt the party by himself becoming a candidate against ex Senator Baker for the chairmanship of the state convention. For Senator Burton to enter into a fight of the kind would be ten times worse than for Mr.

Baker to do so, and Mr. Baker declares he has no thought of such a thing. Several postmasters out in the sixth district had the termerity to oppose Con gressman Reeder's renominatioo. As soon as Mr. 1 Reeder reached Washington he took bis little hatchet in hand and began chopping off heads.

He announces that not one man in the district who didn't support him will get an office. Here is a question of political ethics that bas troubled greater men than Mr. Reeder, bnt it doesn't seem to trouble him a little bit. What would you do if yon were in Reeder's place? Wichita Eagle: It hadn't rained in Kansas for a loeg time. The old settler went out and turned a blue racer's belly np to the sun.

Still, it didn't rain. The old settler organized a Sunday school picnic-It was pulled oS in the brightest of son light. The old settler then got a circus to come to town. The circus came, but it didn't rain. Then the old settler knew he was up against it.

For a year the old pbseton had looked like fury, and he resolved to make a final attempt. He pro -ceeded to wash the old phaeton np nicely. And then it rained. The board of county commissioners of Miami county, investigating the charges against Thomas T. Kelly, candidate for state treasurer, the examination being made at bis requstt.have reported a shortage of $1,323 in his accouots while he was county clerk.

Mr. Kelly has always admitted that there were discrepancies in his accounts, bnt says he was in no way responsible for them. He had placed $1,000 in the hands of the commissioners before the investigation began to cover shortages that might bs found in his accounts. It is impossible to say at this time what the effect of the commissioners' report will have upon Mr. Kelly's candi -dacy.

He has alwais been one of the most popular young men of tb state, and bis friends do not believe that he appropriated the money to his own usa. Ex -Senator Baker says that he has not been assed to become chairman of the state convention, and will not permit his name to be used in connection with the place. Which is creditable to Mr. Baker. His candidacy for the place would arouse antagonisms that would do great harm to the party, and would do the cause of Mr.

Bailey no good. Mr. Baker is wise to see it ia this light, and does himself credit by refusing to be the cause of trouble within the party. At the same time, however, it was hardly necessary for him to declare that Senator Barton and his friends intend to capture the convention and make it an' tagontstio to President Roosevelt. Such statement is so palpably erroneous that no one will be fooled by it, and it can only result ia harm to the maa who makes a declaration so foolish.

There is no bility that Senator Burton wilt attempt to antagonize the administration it he comes reason to believe that if he did do so, ha would stand alone. 1 Tb inhabitants of Martinique would nave been justified ia believing that the time bad come foretold bj the propheta Care tm potency, Emissions, Loss of Mem ory, au wbeims; diseases, all effects of aelf-abose orj 60' PILLS 50.

Oklahoma will have no more congress, and Dennis never said he wouldn't be a candidate for the United States senate from Oklahoma.either, A Kansas City firm had a half page advertisement ia a psper dowa there this morning, saying that the house had barrels of beer on band, and ready for tapping. Now just think what would happen to Topeka if that town had an electric line running to Kansas City. Topeka haa bad aa actor who "says more with a gesture and a look than the average man conld crowd into two columns of newspaper space." Bnt that doesn't signify much.

Almost any man conld say more with a gesture or a look thaa is crowded Into two colums of ordinary Topeka newspaper space. One firm in the baef truit declares that it lost $300,0000 on its April business. Th way it lost it was firao figured that its April business wonld bring it a net profit of $1,425,000, and the people quit eating meat so that the profits for April amounted to only $1,125,000. It is easy to see by these figures that the firm lost $300,000 that month. The judicial deadlock in the Thirtieth district was broken last night by the nomination of Judge R.

Two evangelists will start from Chicago in a short time to tonr the wes and tell ns of our sins and urge ns to become as they are.

It is equipped with bed rooms, bath rooms, observation compartment, a reception room, and a private office for each evangelist. The old time revivalist was wont to tell his hear ers that the road was rough and reeky, fall of pitfalls, and with thorns sod briars along the way. It is different now, and the road to Grace is plush bordered, and with cushioned seats, colored waiters, tenderloin steaks and pie three times a day.

It seems to be a whole lot easier to go to heaven than it was when oar grandfathers tried to get there. Topeka is "all tore np." That, of course, is the chronic condition of Topeka, bnt this time it is over a matter so important, a crime so heinous, that the town feels as if it had bsen shocked by the Martinique earthquake. Some school teachers, lady school teachers at that, have been down to the bowling alleys and have rolled some games, the losers paying for tem! Imagine, if you have a vivid im agination, the shock that such a discovery would cause Holy Topeka. It is just too awful to think that the ladies should bowl, but when it was learned that the losers had paid for the games, the horror was greater than when it was alleged that John Collins had killed his father. Topeka is hiding her head in shame, and, if high prices for meat con- tinne, will begin a Lenten fast and clothe herself in gunny sacks and roll in cinders.

For the losers to pay for the game was downright gambling, and Topeka will cot stand for that; not on your shirt waist. The Committee of Fifty, or Sixty, or Sixty-five, will be called together at once to order the delinquents to quit their jobs and leave town. Sail Mishap to a Hrldl Party. Keytesville, May 16. J.

London, May 16. By direction of President Roosevelt Secretary Hay sent the following cablegram from Washington to Ambassador Choate here: "Express to British government the sympathy of the president and the people of this country in the affliction which has In-fallen St. Vincent and our desire to share in the work of aid and rescue." The colonial secret ary, Mr. Chamberlain, last night wrote to the for eign office desiring Lord Lansdowne very gracefully to acknowledge and accept President Roosevelt's offer of assistance and to inform Mr. Roosevelt that Mr.

Chamberlain cabled to the governor of St. Vincent yesterday asking for information as to the best method of utilizing the" United States offer. Until the governor's answer is received nothing definite can be done. The Associated press is authorized1 to announce officially, on behalf of both the foreign ottioe and the colonial office, that President Koosevelt's offer has created the deepest gratitude here. All the officials declare that no occurrence of recent years has so brought home' to them the deep and material friendship existing between the two governments.

A cable message from Kingston, Jamaica, yesterday confirms the previous dispatch of the Associated press referring to the possibility, owing to the frequent disasters, that the government will decide to abandon St. Vincent and transfer the people now there to other islands. Indifference Manifested in Paris. Paris, May 16. The American visitors here cannot understand the seeming indifference of the Parisians in regard to the Martinique disaster.

Be3ond the half-masted flags over the government offices there are no signs of public mourning. The people flock to their usual resorts, attend the races, fill the theaters, none of which has been closed, no "extras" are issued and there is no demand for them. But the evening papers, containing bulletins of the automobile race, are eagerly purchased. The various funds being raised for the relief of the Martinique sufferers now only total francs, including the large subscriptions of the foreign potentates and the 20,000 francs from the municipality. The provinces seem more interested in the disaster than the sapital.

They are actively organizing committees to raise funds and there is much mourning at the seaports whose ships were destroyed. An American who has resided here for a long time said: "The Parisians are constitutionally unable to become deeply interested in anything not connected with the capital, flave you not noticed that the papers are giving more sjiace to the Humberts' crtse than to the terrible loss of fife at Martinique, while early this week they devoted pages to the lealh of Severo, the aeronaut, and only two columns to the West Indian catastrophe."

Mine Workers Will Continue the Fight Against Mine Owners. 4 GREAT LABOR STRUGGLE IS VIEW. The Blatter ot Calling; Ont the Engineers, Firemen and Pomp Kunners to Be Decided To-Day One Company Orders Its Mnles Hoisted. Hazleton, May 16. The anthracite mine workers in convention late yesterday afternoon decided to continue the strike of the 145,000 men against the mine owenrs and to fight it out to the bitter end.

The matter of calling out the engineers, lire-men and pump runners will be decided by the delegates to-day. The step taken by the miners, after practically considering the matter for two months, has wiped out the uncertainty of the situation and it in freely predicted that the most serious labor struggle in the history of the country, if not the world, is about to begin. That is the view taken by nearly every miner. While the leaders are cautious and will not forecast their actions, it is not unlikely that the miners' fight will be carried into other fiel-ls of industry. Mine workers for 18 months have been looking forward to the strike that is now upon them.

They have saved their money and are considered to be in better shape to-day for a fight than they were in the great strike of 1890. That struggle ended in the mine owners giving the men a ten per cent, advance after a six weeks' suspension. The operators are on record as being unalterably opposed to granting the men any concessions and they have personally informed the mine workers' leaders of that fact. Tha workmen fear that the present fight may mean the destruction of their organization, because they believe that the mine owners are bent more on wrecking their union than they are in opposing the demands for higher wages and shorter work days. The Philndelphla Reading Coal Iron company yesterday evening issued orders to have all the mules hoisted from all the company's collieries at once.

The pump men and other employes are ready to quit work. fireTn a hotel. Several Lives Loat at the Burning; or the American Hotel at Point Pleasant, W. Va. Toint Pleasant, W.
