10. This is the tale of a grave twice prepared for occupancy and yet empty today. Last week, a man who had been going by the name of Dunn, but whose name, it Is how thought, was Sails, died at the county poor farm. The grave was prepared, a coffin supplied, and interment made. Within six hours after the burial took place, there came a telegram from Missouri.

Relatives wanted the body shipped to them for burial there. The body was disinterred, embalmed and shipped by express in a metallic coffin to the supposed relatives of the dead man, but a short time after it arrived at its destination, there came a message that the body was not that of the missing relative, and as a result, Missouri has a dead body that it doesn't want, while the county commissioners here have an extra coffin and an empty grave. This particular grave seems fated not to fulfill the mission for which it was prepared. Two years ago this same grave was dug for another man, whose friends later decided to bury him elsewhere. When the recent death took place, it was reopened.

Hutchinson, Oct. 10. So many Progressives, formerly supporters of Roosevelt, are now alligned with the Republican party here, that many Bull Moosers are becoming decidedly discouraged. One of the leaders in the Progressive movement two years ago, and one of the staunchest Roosevelt Republicans in Reno county was C. D.

Forby, president of a large mar-cantile company, and secretary of the Progressive Republican committee in the last campaign. "Why should I refuse to support Capper?" he replied when asked how he stood this year. "Arthur Capper is advocating the same principles that he advocated two years ago. He has not changed. He hasn't left the camp.

I'm for Capper." Mr. Forby, by the way, is one of the county officials of the Reno County Sunday School association and superintendent of one of the largest Methodist Sunday schools In the county, and one of the leaders in the gospel team movement here. RELIEVES CAPPER RIGHT MAX. Schlaudt, head of a big department store, and another prominent worker in the Methodist gospel team movement, was also a leader in the Roosevelt camp two years ago. "I was for Arthur Capper then because I believed he stood for the right and was the right man, and I am for him today because he is for the same things he stood for then," said Mr.

Schlaudt. "He is the right man; he's a Republican, he's smart and reliable, and will make a good governor." Another leader of. the Progressive Republicans is Peter Deck, county com missioner, and a prominent farmer. He says sentiment among the farmers who were identified with the Roosevelt movement two years ago is almost unanimous for Capper. Expressions from two other Republicans who were conspicuous as "Progressives" two years ago: Henry S.

Zinn, leading merchant: "Arthur Capper stands for the same things that I stand for. I was for him two years ago and I am for him today. Capper was elected governor two years ago, and by all rights should be In the governor's chair today." Arthur L. Maltby. an attorney, who was a leading Progressive two years ago: "I am for Arthur Capper because I know him to be progressiv-e in his nature.

No man who knows Mr. Capper as I do can think otherwise of him. He has always fought for purity in politics and business and economy in handling the affairs of the the state and nation. I am not concerned in what I party he moves the principles for which he stands meet with the approval of the upright citizens of this state." CHAXGE IS NEEDED NOW. Walter Payne, real estate, and one of the leading progressive Republicans of the county: "As a progressive Republican who supported Arthur Capper and the balance of the state Republican ticket in 1912, I wish to say that I am again for Mr.

Capper because, in my opinion, he represents all that is clean and wholewme in public life, Is for clean government honestly administered, notwithstanding 'Windy' Allen White and the Kansas City Star's statements to the contrary. "I am for Arthur Capper also for the further reason that he has not changed his political affiliations, doubtless for the same reason that thousands of other progressive Republicans have remained with their party, believing that true Republicanism means pro- gressivelsm. "1 believe that every good citizen of the great state of Kansas, regardless of sex or party affiliations, who stands for a greater, cleaner and a better Kansas, should vote for Arthur Capper for governor this fall. One term of a trimming, vacillating, 'acting' governor like the press incumbent (or incubus) will be about enough." LEASE GROUND FOR PARK Neodesha Gets Tract for Benefit of Citizens.

K. Ex-Warden Say He I "The Taxpayers' Candidate." Special to T.he Capital. Troy, Oct. 10. J.

K. Codding of Leavenworth has been in Troy as an attorney for Robert Powers in thei $10,000 damage case nendlng against Powers, growing out of the alleged shooting of William H. Dawe by Powers last year. The case was settled by the defendant, allowing judgment to go against him for $1,250 and costs. Mr.

Codding was asked about how the settlement was brought about and he said: "Don't you see that the seven lawyers engaged in this case are all gray-haired fellows? When that kind of a bunch is fighting a case, they prefer a settlement to a fight and it is better for their clients." Then Mr. Codding branched off into politics and said: "That man Billard has a surprise in store for the people of Kansas. He is going to get a big Vote in Leavenworth county, and an excellent one in Shawnee, as well as in other counties of the state. The men who believe his way are not scattering their votes, as are the temperance voters of Kansas. His strength is a solid one.

In my opnion, Arthur Capper is growing stronger every day with the voters of Kansas. He has always consistently stood for the best things. He and his paper have, in sea-Bon and out, stood for law enforcement, civic righteousness, progressive ideas and progressive legislation. "He has never been a politician, or tried, but has ever advocated those things that were clean and right, regardless of public opinion at the time. "He will be the kind of a governor that Kansas needs to again put the state where it belongs, as one of the best governed and progressive states in the Union.

"If the temperance voters of Kansas would concentrate their votes on Arthur Capper they would put an end, forever, to Billardism in this state, and would put In the governor's office a clean, able, business man and citizen. "A man, who, if elected, would manage the state's business as he has managed his own. Capper is the taxpayers' candidate, the man who will see that every dollar of the state's money is spent properly."
