CUPID AGAIN WINS
This Time He Takes a liand in
Politics.
Helps Man Without a "Pali" to
Position.
A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Senator Barton's Niece is a Cen
tral Figure.
Why G. 31. Arthur Went to
Washington.
Love and Politics rarely get together
In the same crowd.
They are as shy of one another as a
Small boy is of a wash basin.
But there are exceptions. It takes ex
ceptions, you know, to prove a rule.
This is one of the exceptions.
It's a story of how the little god with
the bow and quiver got ahead of the
politicians.
Everybody around the state house
knows Miss Luella Rudolph. She was
until a few weeks ago stenographer for
SFrank Nelson, state superintendent of
public instruction. She is bright and
(handsome and capable, and consequent
ly was admired by everybody.
Among her admirers was one who
was favored above the rest. His name
was G. M. Arthur, and he held a clerk
ship in the Santa Fe offices. He gen
erally found it convenient to be going
Miss Rudolph's way when office hours
were over, and there were bicycle rides
and moonlight walks, and all that sort
of thing.
Miss Rudolph is also Senator Bur
ton's niece. Consequently when Senator
Burton went back to Washington a few
weeks ago he saw that Miss Rudolph
g-ot a good place In one of the depart
ments. She deserved it, though, for she
is an exceptionally competent stenog
rapher. All of her friends regretted to
Bee her leave Topeka, especially the
Broung man In the Santa. Ke offices.
. Bat ri&iit bee i whera the UtU sod
with the bow and quiver scored.
Mr. Arthur became a candidate for a
government position. He didn't know
anything about practical politics He
didn't claim to be able to control the
delegation from his ward nor to carry
fifty votes in his vest pocket He didn't
even set up a claim to any "intlooence"
on convention day His political career
consisted solely in going to the polls and
voting on election days when he felt like
it, and it is currently reported that he
was more apt to vote the Populist ticket
than enything else.
But Mr. Arthur had a stronger pull
than any of these things could have
given him. If a hundred stalwart Re
publicans from even the Seventh dis
trict had written letters in his favor it
might have availed him nothing. But
when the little god with the bow and
quiver went to work to land that job
it was promptly landed, and Senator
Burton recommended Mr. Arthur for a
good departmental clerkship In Wash
ington. And this recommendation did not
meet with the fate of some others that
have been sent to Washington. Mr.
Arthur had no previous record to rise
up and stare him in the face. No
avenging Chilcott played the nemesis
NOW IS THE TIME
Seasons change. We can't
change them. We can't pre
vent the coming of cold and
i
v aamp airs.
But we can prevent the sore
throats, the coughs, colds and
lung troubles by taking Scott's
Emulsion. Nothing does more
to make the tender throat
tough. Nothing gives such
strength to weak lungs.
Don't take risks when it's
easy to be safe. Now is the
season for taking Scott's
Emulsion in season.
W.'ll send you a little to try, if 70 Kk.
SCOTT & IIOWKE, 40s Fcarl (trui. Kc York.
act on him. No one even started an
endless chain letter system to block his
appointment. In fact nobody knew any
thing about it until nearly a month af
ter toe had gone to Washington.
It has been just about 30 days since
Mr. Arthur went on to Washington to
take up his duties in his new place,
which is said to be much better than
the place he held in the Santa JFe of
fices. Nobody grudges it to him ex
cept some of the fellows who have been
waiting around for months for Senator
Burton to get their names on the pay
roll in some way or other.
The story has just leaked out this
week, and now the fellows who have
been waiting for a reward "in recogni
tion of party services" are furious.
They think it is a shame that a young
man who has usually voted the Popu
list ticket should be given a job while
many of the faithful are still standing
in line waiting for a chance at the pie
counter.
Everybody else Is glad Mr. Arthur
landed. It is refreshing to know that
Cupid has a pull as well as the politic
ians when toe chooses to exercise it.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Damage Suit Filed Against Sheriff of
Rica County.
Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 28. Thomas H.
Benton has begun a damage suit here
against the sheriff of Rice county, T. F.
Hicks. The petition alleges that Ben
ton was arrested soon after the Bushton
bank robbery in September, 1900, and was
held for over a month in jail, during
which time he was unable to communi
cate with his family in Texas.
It appears that Benton was arrested on
suspicion and was turned loose later. He
asks the court for a judgment of $1,000
against the defendant.
Slow Bat Sure.
London, Nov. 28. A dispatch to the
Times from Pretoria says there are 70
recognized commandoes and bands of
Boers ranging in strength from 50 to 400
men. in the tield, of which 23 are in the
Transvaal. 31 in' the Orange River colony
and 13 in Cape Colony. Tne task of run
ning them down must necessarily be slow
but it is sure, and there is no ground for
Impatience. Lord KitchenerSs striking
arm at present only amounts to -43,000
men and the more he is enabled to put
In the field the sooner the end will come.
Washington, Nov. 28 Mrs. May B.
Ellison, of El Reno, O. T., has been ap
pointed a matron and Samuel Tucker,
of Pleasant, Kan., appointed a farmer
at the Red Moon Indian school, O. T.,
and Miss Katie Kennedy, of Holycross,

POUCEJOJTINGS.
Jointists Are Removed From
Cause For Thanksgiving.
Notorious Ewing Resort Is
Raided, by Officers.
MR. IIATCII IS GONE.
Druggist Fails to Appear in
Court.
His Bond Not Good and He Is
Not Expected Back.
FEW jointists were
cut off from their
only cause for
thanksgiving last
night. The cold
cruel policemen
began the seance
by grabbing tne
happy Ewing fam
ily on Smoky Row.
Only one small
bottle was found,
but Joseph and
"Nan" were book
ed for "selling and
"maintaining" and
hauled to the
coop. While Mrs.
Ewing was evap
orating a heavy
jag her friends,
Hattie Maybee and J. Hobbs, took pos
session of the Ewing residence , and
started something akin to a rough
house. They were assisted in this
pleasant little t diversion by Mr. C.
Strouse who was booked in a short time
by Officers Botham and Black for sell
ing and maintaining. Hobbs and the
Maybee woman were slated for disor
derly conduct, and thus the house by
the raging Kaw was suppressed for the
night.
Two girls from Junction City, Etta
and Pearl Mnin, who were gathered in
19 street walkers several days ago, were
collected again last night. They were
making efforts to get out of town, but
the police would allow nothing of the
kind.
Mary Wells was another of the un
thankful. She was booked on two
charges, selling liquor and keeping a
disorderly house. Chas. Wells and
Henry Paes were present, so they were
taken as inmates.
Fred S. Raymond, in full uniform,
confessed to being a deserter, and is
worth $30 net to Officer Hutton, who
saw him first.
The court held a short session this
morning to dispose of the Fannie Rodg
ers case. The case had been adjourned
until thi3 morning, and the court dis
posed of another chance to be thankful
by fining her $200 and 60 days in jail
for selling liquor. The court also took
time to make some pointed remarks
HORSE BUCKED.
Rider Severely Hurt.
A Cincinnati man visiting in Texas,
on a ranch, was thrown from a horse
and so severely injured that his life
was despaired of. He takes pride in
telling how food saved his life. The
heavy drUgs given seriously injured his
stomach and' as he says"It seemed I
would soon have to starve in the mid&t
of plenty. My stomach refused to di
gest food and I ran down from 165 to
133 pounds. When my appetite failed
I was ready to give up, and it looked
as though I would soon 'wink out.'
One morning the foreman's daughter
brought in what she called a splendid
food and it turned out to be Grape
Nuts. , A little skeptical I ate it and
found it was good, and just the kind
of food I could keep on my stomach
which had been almost burned out by
the vile drugs.
I felt that I had obtained a new lease
of life for improvement set in at once.
A week later I was weighed and had
gained two pounds. My weight has
since steadily increased by the constant
use of Grape-Nuts, and I am now bet
ter than I have been in years, as my
friends will all testify.
In all kinds of athletic sports I notice
I have a greater reserve force than for
merly, for which I am indebted to
Grape-Nuts. Taken in moderation it is
the greatest food of its kind in the
world, being equally well adapted to
athletes and invalids." Paul Alwin
Platz, 1906 Btgtow Ave, Mt Auburn,
Cinrtnjifttl. (X
about the fashion of bringing appeal
bonds to the court already fixed and
needing only the signature of the court.
When the A. S. Hatch case was called
yesterday Mr. Hatch failed to appear,
and his attorney, Hib Case, could give
no information as to his whereabouts.
It was then discovered that the bond
which he had given was "N. G." He
had appeared on it and made his plea,
and had been given a chance to go out
and secure a "rehash" of the first bond.
The bond was void after the first ap
pearance of the defendant, but the
court had no idea that the druggist
would jump the town, which appears
to be the case. It was the non-appearance
of Mr. Hatch which led the court
to say in a "that settles it" tone of
voice: "Hereafter this court will take
no bond which has been prepared be
fore it is brought to court, and in no in
stance will a defendant be allowed, no
matter who it is, to go out and seek
bond, but will be detained by the offi
cers pending the appearance of a bond
which is made out before an officer hav
ing authority to certify the same." If
Mr. Hatch has not escaped, he has
missed a good chance, and has injured
the cause of "King Alco" by starting
the wheels of justice in a new direction.
Hereafter the druggist will be locked
up like an ordinary bum as soon as his
bond expires.
Mayor Hughes is responsible for a
barrel of apples which arrived at the
police station at 10 o'clock. The mayor
couldn't see his way clear to treat the
entire force to turkey, but didn't forget
them in the shuffle.
KENNEDY MAY BE IN.
Burlington Man Suggested as Candi
date For Congress.
State Senator J. A. Kennedy, of Bur
lington, is preparing to get into -the
Fourth district congressional race
against Congressman Miller. His home
papers announce that politicians in va
rious parts of the district, as well as
a good many Coffey county Republi
cans, are urging him to get into the
campaign. He has not yet said that he
would do so, but it is not probable that
he will turn down a cry from the peo
ple for his candidacy.
Senator Kennedy's candidacy might
seriously embarrass the Burton faction
in the Fourth district. It has been un
derstood that the Burton Influence
stands behind Congressman Miller for a
renomination, and this is one thing that
gives Mr. Miller his confidence. Sen
ator Kennedy has been a Burton man
from the start, and made his fight for
state senator largely along those lines.
He was elected by a good majority over
a strong opposition. The Burton ele
ment is under obligations to him, and
could scarcely turn against him in case
he determines to run for congress.
For this reason Senator Kennedy's
candidacy would still further compli
cate the Fourth district situation and
make it very interesting for Congress
man Miller in the southeast part of the
district. He would have the united sup
port of his county, Coffey, behind him,
and very likely Woodson county, which
joins Coffey on the south. He would
also exert a strong influence in Osage,
on the north, in case some Osage coun
ty man doesn't join in and make it a
free-for-all.
