Heretofore Republican governors have in a measure jeen hampered by a set of old time politicians who have held on with death like grip to the Lest ap- p Jint: ve offices in the state, managing by t ieir h ;ir polit'.cal combinations to maintain positions from one administration to til 3 next. It is different now, however. Governor Lowmlinj; wlna he took the executive chair two years ago made a clean sweep aud he was oojv ia office a short time until ill the i.ppointive positions in the stale were Idled by Populists instead of liepu blicaus. Governor Merrill is already being pes tered by the political manipulators of his party who want promise of appoint ments for themselves and their friends. The gavernor will not, it is hoped, allow tbeo spoils hunters to burden hiia with promi-es, the keeping of which will weaken his administration. It is natural, ho.vever, that the men wao lougm ue names 01 tne party in this campaign should be seeking- their reward for party services and already tnere is a loru list of anxious Republi- cans who would like to know if thev are to get a job wcrth $75 a a year or no job at all. month or $3, 000 Warden of the Penitentiary.

'1 he job whi m is conceded to be tha most desirall'i ia the state for the man who doesn't care much for associations, is the wardens nip of the state peniten tiary at Leavenworth. The waruen gets ifi.', 500 a year and the living expenses for himself and f anidy, arid is always able to rovidf a few members of his family with fctnalU-r jobs with salaries paid by the btate. J he throe m3n already mentioned as waiting the wardeuship are U. S. Jiiatt, of Leavenworth, Geo. II. Case of Man kato, who was warden under the last lie publican administration, and ex-Secretary of State vv. iliiarn Higgins, with John 1 1 igg ins, a brother of the ex-secretary, slated for deputy warden. J. V. Moore of Marion was until re cently considered a candidate for war den, bat he has lately been switched olF, and is now said to be anxious for a posi tion on the tate board of railroad com missioners.

L Kristow of Saline county. James Humphrey uf tieary county. There are tliree railroad commission ers to be appoi ue 1, two liepublicans and one De mocrat, lu will for their services receive salaries of 3,000 a year. One beauty of the railroad commis sionership is that all the railroads are compelled to furnish each commis sioner with free transportation and the commissioners get I'uliman and Wagner passes besides. Among the candidates for railroad commissioner most talked about is J. M. Simpson, the former chairman of the rate central committee, and the man who did the letting for the committee during the late campaign. Xext in order come J. W. Moore of .Marion, Simpson's brother-in-law; ex Governor Lyman U. Humphrey of independence; ex-Governor George T. Anthony of Ottawa, who was on the last Republican board; Rev. Bernard Kelly, one of the original Mor rill men and a man who did as much campaign work as any one aside from the candidates. Then there is P. G. Xoel, the ex-To-paka banker; O. B. Tavlor, a Leaven worth wholesale grocer; G. W. Clements, an ex-mayor of Wichita. Captain E. 11. Brown, who was last week elected to tlie legislature from Crawford county; J. Bruce Lynch, the caudida: for state treasurer on the tick et two years ago who wants to represent the interests of the railroad men on tha board; Charles S. Eiliott, the former sec retary of the board who jiaJt) an excep tionally fine record this year in conduct. inr the Shawnee county campaign, is talked of as the "young crowd'' candi date. There is to be a Democratic member of the board of railroad commissioner! aud Eugene Hagan. it is said, is slated for that position, althourh J. S. Richari- j son, the chairman who conducted David i Overmyur's campaign, aud ex-Attorney j General John X. Ives are both mentioned j in this connection. Whoever the Demo j cratic member may be his appointment I will be made when approved by David i Overmyar. ! In the appointment of the new board I of railroad commissioners Gove 'nor Mor i rill wiii bo met with demand to give the places on this important board to the j men who are the largest shippers in the I state. I he wholesale grocers and jjbbersof Wichita, Hutchinson, Saiiaa, Junction City, Atchison and Leaveuwol'Ji ajre al ready organizing and will demand that they be allowed to name the new commissi jners instead of the places being given ;ia rewards to politicians, who will be tools in the hands of the railroads. The i bbers made dematid of this g appointed the kind when Gov. Lewel present board, out taeir interests were snubbed, and for that reason they gave their united support this year to the Re publican ticket. At Wichita, ex-Mayor G. W. Ciements is already a candidate, while the north eastern cities are pushing O. B. Tavlor, the Leavenworth wholesale grocer. Sa liu.i and Junction City each have a can didate. J. 1 Bristow is mentioned as the Salina candidate and Judge James Humphrey, who was the Democratic member of the board under the tirst term of (i.jveciur Humphrey's adminis tration, is talked of, although he is uow a district judge at a sa.ary of iJ-,0'J0 a year. State IJ nlc Coiniuissioiier. Charles i Johnson of Jefferson county. Charles M. Sheldon of Osaga county. John T. Showalter of Sumner county. M. W". Levy of Sedgwick county. The ofhee of state bank commissioner is a much coveted priie which pays a salary of f'-'.oOU a year an 1 the appointee when continued by the senate holds for a term of four years unle ss removed for cause. Commissioner Braid-mthal is likely to hold on to this oliice unless he is removed for cause, but it ia unlerstool that an effort wiil be made to get a supreme court ruling in regard t the term of that oliice simiiar to the ruling made regard ing the Topeka city assessor case in which Oscar ilischoC although appointed for two years was removed at the expir ation of one. Charles E. Johnson of Oskaloosa. who served on the campaigi committee, wants his old job back and Le has a strong pull. Charles M. Sheldon of Burlingame, president of the state Rap albican leatrue. is also a c anui lata for bank commis sioner and it ia sail that M. W. Levy, president of the big Wichita bank which failed this summer, has aspirations along this line as has also John T. Showalter of Sumner, a county which held up its end in this year's light State Superintendent of Insurance. IC. E. W ileoxson of Logan county. V . II. Mc Bride or Osborne county. Web Wilder of Wyandotte county. C. G. Biakely of Shawnee county. The office of state superintendent of insurance, like that of l ank commission er, must be declared vacant before it can be filled. The insurance commissioner gets $.1,000 a year for a term of four years, unless removed for cause. State Senator K. E. Wilcoxsou of Oak ley is said to have his eyes on this job as a partial payment for his services on the executive committee of the state central committee. W. H. Mc Bride of Osborne county,who had the office under Governor Humphrey, and was allowed to resign, is also said to have aspirat ions, although all indications point to Web Wilder, as the man who will have the strongest in fluence with Major Morrill. ('. G. Biakely, actuary of the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance association, was at one time an applicant fur the appoint ment as superintendent of insurance, and it is said his name will Le considered by Major Merrill before r-'iperinteudeut Snider's successor is name 1. Slute Oil I inpeet or. L. S, C'ruin of Labette county. William Higgins of Stiawjsa county. W. W. Smith of Shawiiei county. J. X. Harrison of i" rat. Kim county. The job which is considered the very best in th.; stare is that of coal oil in spector. The holder of this otliee gets his $2,500 and extra pay in fees. Since the opening up of th3 Kansas oil fields the oil inspector's fees amount to more th.au the salary of any state officer. There is little work aud considerable money in the position. L. S. Cruui of Oswego, one of the ad visory committee of live of the state central committee, is ualerstood to be pulling for the oil inspectorship, and if William Higgins is not appointed war den of the penitentiary, he will be satis tied with this position. "Curly" Harri son of Ottawa, the mau who so cleverly managed the congressional campaign in the Second distr.ct for Judge O. L. Mil ler, is said to have his eye on the oil in spectorship, and W. W".

Cox, of the campaign committee, is said to be slated for a posi tion on this board. Dave W. Mulvane of Topeka is said to be favorably considered as a likely suc cessor to R B. Kepley, his business part near, the present Democratic member. The three members of the old board. Cap tain John II. Smith of Columbus, Sol Miller of the Troy Chief and Judge J. S. Emery of Lawrence, the stalwart Demo crat, are said to have anxious eyes on their old places. The salarv of a mem ber of this board is only $1,010 a year. State Architect. J. G.

Downing of Ellis county. O. S. McDowell of Cherokee county. The salary attached to the office of executive clerk is $1203 a year and it ia the easiest job to fill in the atate house.

Tom Doran, who was deputy revenue collector under Chairman C. Leland when Harrison was president, is said to be elated here, and P. L. Soper would be glad to come back from Oklahoma and live in Topeka if this opening should j come his way. E. D. McKeever, who j is now a law partner of Lieut.-Goveruor Troutman, has been mentioned as a ' possibility, but Mr. F. B.

R. re cord, who writes letters to the country newspapers signed Brunstane, is said to bo slated for this job, but Lew Hanback, who had the place under Governor Humphrey, would like to come back to Topena, and Captain H. E. Wentworth, who was a sixteen year old captain during the war, has been talked about as a man who could draw the salary. Assistant State Treasurer. George M. Seward of Shawnee. W. H. Xelson of Smith couuty. Sam M. Johnson of Doniphan county. The assistant state treasurer receives $1,700 a year for his services and George Seward the present assistant is a Repub lican who was in the oliice under the last Republican administration and became assistant by raising a part of Treasurer Biddle's bond. Mr. Seward may still hold the job if J. R. Burton's influence with Slate Treas urer Atherton is as strong as it is sup posed to be. Mr. Atherton is said to be favorable to the Burton senatorial boom. Billy Xelson of tne Smith County Pio neer, who was assistant under S. G. Stover, is talked about again but Sam Johnson of Troy, has a string which may land him in that part of the west wing of the statehouse. Xight Guard at Treasurer's Oflice. A W. Hopkins, Topeka.

B. EL Bruce of Leavenworth, the colored school teacher, has an anchor to windward and John M. Brown was once in that oflice and he now wants to go back. SoL G. Watkins of Topeka was not elected justice of the peace last spring, and. hm would be satisfied with a clerkship i.i this office, as would S. W. Winn and W. I. Jamison of Topeka and a large colored man by the name of John Smith, who lives in Kansas City, Kan. Assistant State Superintendent. J. C. Davis of Chase county. Frank Stout of Geary couuty.

Davis, of Cottouwood Falls, who was the candi date for superintendent two years ago, is pulling for the place as assistant. Frank Stout, who was Geo. W. Win an's assistant, is also talked of, but-he has been doing business in Kansas City, and some objection may be made that he is a non-resident. In addition to those mentioned there are jobs almost without number iu the penitentiary and in the various state in stitutions, where the more humble mem bers of the party will be rewarded, and for which there are as many applicants, proportionately. SUJINEll SCHOOL BUKXS. The Interior Destroyed and the AVall May lie I'seiess. Sumner school, located on the north east corner of Fourth street and West ern avenue was almost totally destroyed by lire last evening, and many of the school children stood about and danced as the tire department put the finishing but damp touches to the wrecked build ing. Their joy is doomed to a dampen ing too, for school will be reopened at Dougias school tomorrow. The first person to discover the fire was the colored janitor William Pago, tvho was sweeping the second story. Ho paid no attention to the strong odor of bmoke because the furnace often smoked but it finally became so strong that he left his work to see if all was right. When he opene.l the door he was met by a cloud of smoke aud fire that staggered him. The fire had almost stopped the passage at the stairway, but the janitor took his chances aud made the ground in safety, except that his left hand was painfullv burned. I The janitor turned in the alarm at box 30, two blocks away, at 5:0. By the time the firemen arrived the lire had control of the roof, aud as a strong wind was blowing from the north, showering the neighborhood with sparks and em bers, a second alarm was sent in, which summoned the remainder of the fire de partment. It was needed, for a house across the street and Scott Brothers' ice cream factory just east of the school, both caught fire but were quickly saved. The school building was past saving, and the only thing for the firemen to do, aside from protecting the neighbors, was to keep three large streams of water playing on the interior. Chairman T. A. Beck of the building committee of the board of education was on the ground during tho fire. Ho says tho loss on the building is complete. Although the walls are standing he thinks they are so damaged that they will have to come down. The building cost about t-S.OJO ten years ago, and the additional loss on furniture and school books and supplies will make the total loss $10,000, with insurance not to exceed $2,500. mere is notning definitely Known re garding the cause of the fire. The jani tor heart! a lot ot boys piayiug iu tho lower hallway a short time before the fire, and heard them scamper through the yard, and there is a vague suspicion that the cause was incendiary. A more plausible and acceptable theory in that it started from the heating apparatus in the basement, which is the source of nearly all fires in school buildings. The most fortunate thing about the fire was that it did not occur an hour before. AVith both exits closed by tire there would have been a panic among the children that would havs been a black day in Topeka's history. The vacation of Sumner school pupils is only for one day. Superintendent Davidson has issued this card: To the 1'atrons of .Sumner School: The Sumner school building was so completely destroyed by the fire yester day evening that its occupancy is beyond question, and its immediate repair is an impossibility. The building committee of the board of education direct me to say that the Douglas school building shall be occupied instead. It is therefore directed that all chil dren who Jiave been enrolled at the Sumner school report on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at the Douglas school, located on the east side of Polk street, between Third and Fourth streets. W. M. Davihson, Superintendent of Schools. liUDD'S PLURALITY SH3I. From the Upturns Already IteceiveI It Is Only 1078. Sax Francisco, Xov. 111. There has been no marked change in tho guberna torial contest in California in the past twenty-four hours. Returns have now been received from 2,115 precincts in the state in a total of 2,274 precincts, and the result shows: Budd, Democrat, 109,091; Estee, Republican, 10S.012. Budd's plu rality 1,078. There are still 1S5 precincts to hear from, and also the official canvass of 47 counties. The official returns have been received from ten counties in the state, and the gains of the two candi- dates about tally, being 10 votes in Es- tee s favor. The figures given above allow a plu rality for Budd in this city of 11,J50, as that seems to be the most accurate figure which can be obtained until a more full canvass is concluded G0VER3IEXT ELEVATORS. Kussta "Will Erect Them Along The Gov ernment Itailroaris. Washington, Xov. 13, United States Consul Stephan, at Annaberg, reports to the department of state that the Russian government is contemplating the erec tion of grain elevators along the govern ment railroads. For the first, such ele vators will be built only at stations from which more than 200.0JO poods (a pood equals 36.11 pounds) are shipped, leaving the stations with less than that amount as a field for private enterprise. Each elevator ia to have a capacity of forty per cent of the average quantity of wheat shipped annually. Iu this way the farmers will be able to place a total of 79,000,000 poods of grain in store.
