Judge W. R.

BIddle, ia not, leither, an ripen candidate, for the place, but he has) been asked by some of the lawyers to be a candidate. When asked whether he would be a candidate Judge BIddle showed some reluctancy about talking, arguing that it was too early yet. However, the conversation with him de veloped the fact Chat he has made the rounds of most" of the lawyers, and 'he says that 'seventeen, out of teen that were approached on the subject stated that. they: were in favor of some other candidate to succeed Judge Simons. BIddle contin ued: "I went to the attorneys simply to obtain expressions from them, and not In tihe interest of any candidacy of my own.

I told each of them that it was not my desire to be a candl date un'ess I could receive the al most unanimous endorsement of the Bourbon county bar, and then, I did rot know whether I would become a candidate. The member 1 approached was on the fence and didn't know what he wanted as yet." there has been some talk on tlie streets that it was the intention of a member of the bar to call a spe. cial meeting of that organization for the purpose of. selecting or recom mending a to succeed Judge Simons, likely taking it for granted that not be a candidate. Judge BIddle, as president of the association, stated that there had sprae of -this, but that the time was not yet opportune- for such a move.

He said. It was the ex pression of the bar members to select some other man. fori the place, but that" the move had not taken any definite form as yet. Aside from Judge Biddle other mem bers of the bar had been spoken of as probable candidates for. the place on the republican ticket.

The names of A. M. Keene, C. E. Cory anid W.

W. Padgett are among them. The contest for the Judgeship promises to be a fierce one. Judge Simons- has held this office for three consecutive terms. His 'second nomination was endorsed by the democratic convention.

The last time he wasi a candidate an effort was made to defeat him, but he got in and is now holding the office. It is a little early yet to make auy predlctlms, but it is almost certain that there will be three or four candidates for the republican nomination, several from this county, and perhaps; one or two from Linn county, the other county in the district. Bour bon county having the largest number of delegates in the convention, it is in a position to dictate the nomination. When the democratic conven tion Is held there Is not likely to be' much of a contest. Judge W.

P. Dil laid, this city, Is frequently spoken of as a candidate for the democratic ARRIVED SUNDAY; DIED LAST NIGHT Jesse H. Garrett. Passed Away Last Evening at 10 O'Clock at the Home of His Daughter. (From Wednesday's Dally.) Jesse H.

Jones, who lives near Oak Grove cemetery; Mr. Garrett has not been 1 in the best of health of late weeks but his death, coming sudden and unexpected after his arrival here" to visit his children, came as a shock to the deceased's wide circle of friends.

Mr. Garreet was a member of the G. AiR. aad his funeral tomorrow will be under the auspices" of that body. Burial will be made at' National cemetery and Dr.

Porter will conduct the funeral which will occur at the Jones home at 2 o'clock. The deceased Was a member of the 91st Indiana infantry and served for 'three years in the Civil war. He was the father, of five children. iW.v" There is a who'e lot at 'the Fort Scott sporting -contingent down, at Coffey ville, where things are not so tight: as they are Jose Hopking Is said to be there running a restaurant and lodging house near the depot.

110 Caldwall Montloello, III. ARE PREPARING FOR BIG WORK THIRTY BUNK CARS BUILDING At PACIFIC SHOPS. WILL BE FINISHED IN FEW DAYS Railroad Board Issues Orders to Fix Up the Tracks at Certain Places. Whole Force at Work. (From Wednesday's Daily.) There is a busy scene in the car de purtmcut at the Missouri Pacific shops right now.

A few days ago a big or der to build thirty blink cars' was received at the shops, and, almost the entire force is now at work on the same. In addition a cook car and all the other necessary cars to send out on the road for the track employe's use are being erected. This work will be finished in a few days the cars will be sent all over the system, where they are used. The bunk cars are made out of ordinary freight cars and are provided with sleeping apartments and other conveniences. It has been some time since such a large order for cars has been received.

The company, as has been mention-' ed, is preparing to overhaul of the branch lines and the cars will be used by the workmen. The board of railroad commissioners has issued an or der requiring the company to repair track on a certain line, but arrangements for the work were commenced before the order was issued. The following Is a telegram from To-peka: "The board of railroad commissioners at the meeting today made up the report of'the inspection of the central branch of the Missouri Pacific, and sent A. W. Sullivan, genera! manager of the system.

The tracks from Atchison, to Stockton and to Lenora were inspected The board found that the. road i.eeded many ties, the ballasting of track over which the heaviest travel is carried, the raising of the track in several soft places and the proper drainage of cuts. "The notice to Mr. Sullivan required that the improvements be made within ninety days from date of the notice and advised him that at the expiration of that time a further nspection would be made, and if it is found that the road is pot- proceeding In i' good faith with the work it would instruct its attorney to file proper cJmplaint. "The board found that the company had from 125 to 150 men a', work on this lino; that 180,000 ties for renewals had been contracted for by the company; that up Jo date 25 per cent or 45,000 ties had been received and were on the ground, the rest be delivered by October 1.

The. board found that bulletin boards were properly displayed at a'l stations along the line, and that its 'order in regard to bulletining trains was being obey- Last night the council parleyed for almost two hours before convening because a quorum was not to be had. There were five members present with President Williams. It was thought by the majority of the council that the president did not. couitf, as the mayor Is not a member of the council.

Last night the stores remained open because of the Missouri Pacific pay day, and some of the councilman were late getting in. City Attorney Jackson and Judge Dil'ard discussed situation and both agreed (that counting the president as a'nichibw a quorum was present. The city attorney ordered the councl to convene, its session. Hereafter the president Whenever In charge' of a meeting will cornnt as a member of Mip council and will vote, on all questions just like tbe president of the senate, speaker of. the house, etci I Deserting REDFIELD YOUNG WOM'AN EMBARRASSED IN ST.

LOUIS. BABY' NOW IN SALT LAKE CITY St. Louis Papers Say Jt Was Unintentionally Left by Redfield Mother With a stranger. (From Wednesday's Dally.) A most unique story comesi from St. Louis today involving the name of Miss Dora Hickson, of Redfield, ten miles west of Fort ScoU, in an embarrassing story about the abandon ment of a baby in the St.

Louis union station last Tuesday. According to the story of Mrs. Hickson, who is described as a young woman 18 years o'd living at Redfield, was at 'the station enroute to Shelbyville, 111., to visit an aunt, having with her a few weeks' old infant. She asked a strange woman to hold the chltd While she had her baggage checked, and never returned for it. 'The woman who was given charge of the baby concluded that it had been purposely left left on her hands, and she, being about to start for Salt Lake City, took the child with her and wired the St.

Louis officials that she had placed It In a foundling asylum there. telegram was received from St. Louis asking the reporters here to see Mrs. Hickson and ask her if she was going after the child. A diligent search of the Redfield neighborhood revealed the fact that the only person living in that vicinity of a name similar to that given by the Louis authorities is Miss Dora.

Hickson, daughter of George Hickson. a well-to-do farmer living three miles northwest of Redfield. She wa? found this afternoon by a Tribune re-poi Vir over the phone the home of Mrs. W. L.

Roweth, a neighbor, to whose home she had been called to pnswer the phone. Miss Hickson (dis claimed any knowledge of the St. ljouis affair. She said she had been away from home for some length ol time and had returned only last week. Asked where she had been visiting, she said she had been at Shelbyville but this apparent confirmation of the St.

Louis story, she declared, siraplj added to the mystery of t.h& whole affair to her. Miss Hickson is not married at all. The following is taken from the St. Louis of yesterday evening's issue, and it will be interesting to Bourbon county people: CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING STATE WARRANT ISSUED FOR MISS ELLA TODD TODAY. BOY FORMERLY LIVED WITH TODDS She Is Charged With Having Coaxed the 11-Year-Old Boy From Starr School House Yesterday.

(From Wednesday's Dally.) County Attorney Caldwell today Issued a warrant for Miss Ella Todd of near Hammond, one of the most widely known bisiness ladles in Bourbon county, charging her with kidnapping 11-year-old James Double-dee from the Starr school house. The sheriff left with the process this afternoon to make the arrest and Miss Todd will be brought to the city tonight. There were perhaps no criminal aspects entering into this case in so far as Miss Todd was concerned. The Doubledee boy, whose mother is somewhere in the Territory, formerly lived with Miss Todd. A sister of the child lived there also.

Eight months ago J. W. Huffman took the boy from Miss Todd and placed him with the family of Louis Pellett, who lives eight miles south of town. The charge made by Mr. Huffman of the Home Finders Socieey was that Miss Todd neglected the child, leaving home for entire days at a time and leaving the little fellow there with his sister.

The boy was lawfully placed wieh the Pelletts, though it had not aB yet been adopted. Perhaps Miss Todd went upon the theory that she was not incriminating herself when she Induced the boy to follow her home yesterday. The Doubledee boy attends Starr school and yesterday It is charged that Miss Todd drove to the school house and induced the child to go home with her. This somewhat disturbed the Pelletta as well as the Home Finders Society and a warrant was issued for Miss Todd. It Is be lleved that the case will be compromised rather than prosecuted.

A statement from Miss Todd was not obtainable today. Policeman George House had a hospital bill of something over $00 during his recent illness. The council last agreed to pay tf.iehalf or this sum. The matter of paying part of 'the doctor bill was not discussed. The mayor the other day wrote 'out a check to hospital for one-half the policeman's bill tipt.n ndvloe of the finance committee, arid the council last evening ratified the act.

it In a is to E. so a of a Little Baby Fate played a strange prank with the baby of Mrs. Dora Hickson of Rod field, when it separated child and mother at the Union Station and landed the former in Salt. Lake City ahd the latter in ShelbyvlUe, 111. After a week of weeping over the loss of her child.

Mrs. Hickson learned Tuesday where her baby is. Mrs. J. L.

Corey, of Bland, 111., had much to do with the remarkable separation. She was standing' in the Midway last Tuesday, when Mrs. Hickson asked her to please hold the baby for a few minutes while she checked her baggage. Mrs. Hickson is only 18 years old and not familiar the intricacies of the Union Station.

It took her much longer to find the baggage room than she expected, and then she could not find the spot wher? she had left Mrs. Corey. Mrs. Corey happened to be waiting for a train for Salt Lake. The train backed in and Mrs.

Hickson did not. return for her chi'd. Mrs. Corey had read of mothers who deserts! their in-funts in this fashion. She looked pityingly at the pretty child and decided she would not desert it, as she sup posed the mother had done.

When the conductor shouted "All aboard," Mrs. Corey took Mrs. Hickson's baby on board with her. Meanwhile the young mother was almost distracted by her failure to find Mrs. Corey.

She had never been in a large city before and did not know where to appeal for assistance. She was going to visit her aunt, Mrs. William Shaw in Shelbyville. Her ticket, was already purchased. So, weeping over her loss, she boarded a train for Slieibyvil'e, more lonesome than she had ever been before.

Mrs. Shaw comforted her by telling her that if she would write to another aunt Mrs. F. W. Sherman, of 110 North Tenth street, East St.

Louis-Mrs. Sherman could tell the police and possibly the police might trace Mrs. Corey and the baby. Mrs. Shaw was correct in her opinion.

Mrs. Sherman sent the 18-year-old mother's pathetic note to Chief Creecy and the Chief remembered that Mrs. Corey haid wired him from Salt Lake last Thursday stating that she had somebody's baby and had placed In a foundling asylum there. The Chief telegraphed to Salt Lake again and found that the baby was still at the asylum pending instructions as to its disposition. Mrs.

Sherman has telegraphed Mrs. Hickson and she is happy at her aunt's home in Shelbyville today, but not so happy as she will be when she and her child are reunited after being accidentally separated by thousands of miles. PRINT PAPER COMES HIGH. The Tribune-Monitor Used Six Car Loads Last Year and Will Use Eight This Year. (From Wednesday's Daily.) But few people realize how much expense there is in white paper, the kind that is used for printing newspapers, and which is commonly called "news print." Well, news print costs a whole lot of money and with the present combination of paper mills it promises to go even higher.

Last year the Tribune used six car loads of print paper and this year will use eight. A year and a half ago when the management of ehe paper realized that paper was going up, having studied the situation pretty closely, an order was made for eight car loads. The contract price was under three cents, but as there are about 230,000 pounds in the eight cars it rah into money. Eight car loads of paper in one year is three or more times as much print paper as was ever used in a Fort Scott paper a single year. But that isn't what we started out to say.

Owing to the combination, print paper has gone up twenty-five per cent and it promises to go up higher. The Tribune last week sent in another big order, asking for a contract at higher rate than the eight cars cost, and this was turned down. It predicted that paper will go to four cents a pound before it stops. And that isn't all. AH other paper has gradually Increased, so that the job printers have to figure pretty close come out to the good on jobs, taking them at the same figure as they did before paper Increased In price.

(From Wednesday's Dally.) Chief of Police Mendenhall stated this afternoon to a reporter for' the Tribune that he would enforce the Sunday' closing law.

At the; meeting of the council last night a resolution was passed instructing the chief of police to see that the Sunday closing law was enforced. Complaint was made that some of the suburban grocers were selling goods on the Sabbath. "If the council orders me to do this work, It will be done," said the chi.gf today, "and that's all there is to it. I am the servant of the council. 1 will serve warning on all those who have been in the habit of selling goods on Sunday in the face of the law prohibiting it, that they must desist or they will be arrested.

This is the only notice that I intend to give them. They know that It Is a violation of the law and they will either have to come through or take the consequences." The chief seems to be determined to break up the practice of selling goclls on Sunday that can just a well be purchased on Saturday. FORMERLY LIVED HERE. Matt Kane, a Bronson Boy, Candidate For Associate Justice of Oklahoma Supreme Court. (From Wednesday's Daily.) The other day when Hubert Lard- ner returned from Iowa and read of the two tickets in Oklahoma naming their candidates he saw the name of Matt Kane, democratic candidate for associate justice of the supreme court and he at.

once recognized in this name that of a former chum at Bron son. Mr. Kane, now a man 42. years of age, lived. at Bronson for many years and his parents still reside there.

Kane went to the new country when the influx of 1902 brought im migrants from all over the country. In the race for a claim Kane landed a quarter section which is near the town of Kingfisher. Kane, who had received his education back in Pennsylvania, commenced to practice law at Kingfisher and was a success. He entered politics and has had to do with the affairs that moulded the raw material into a state. Kane will probably be elected, as the democrats seem to have Oklahoma by a pretty strong majority.

A FREAK PEAR TREE. Henry Baseman Ha8 One That is in Full Bloom for the Second Time. Haa Fruit on It. 'From Wednesday's Daily.) Over in the yard Henry Base man, 207 Hendricks, street, there is located a pear tree that Is a study for horticulturalists and scientists. It is a and all those who are interested in fruit growing should investi gate it.

The pear tree is In full bloom now and is interfering with the ripening of the fruit that is also on the trees. It is a Bartlett pear, and last spring it was also in full blossom. with big prospects for a good The pears matured and werz all but ripe when It was discovered by Mr. Baseman some days ago that other blossoms were sprouting the tree. This was certainly a curiosity and Mr.

Basemau can't understand it at all. The blossoms are of the same size and fragrance as they were last spring. No one who has S8en the tree is able to understand this ireak. It is supposed that the climatic conditions last winter and sprlug are responsible for the double header. Supt.

Burton of the 'water works asked the council last night to take action regarding the dams or fords In the river above the dam. At Several aces in the river fords have- been created by dumping In stones and timber." Later mud collects at these places and the ford serves as a dam, especially when the water Is low. Mr, Burton asks to have a number of culverts built, at each of these fords which, will remoVe the difficulty of having back Water. The culverts, will cost about $100 each and there will be several of them. It insures better water, service, find the work will probably be tloue.

The culverts would be in the river channel to drain the water under the ford. HAY! HAY! We are track buyers of Hay Agents for the Whitman Hay Press If you want to buy or sell Hay or need a Hay Cover, call or phone GARRISON Com Co. Phones: IT E. Willi Street. Farm Loans ffo Commission H.
