Simpson denies that he Ls a candidate for Governor of Knnsas. That is too small an office for him. Grover’s chair is what Jerrv wants. OUB OWN AFFAIRS.

I wish the City Council would get a hump on” and send a man around the streets to cut down those unsightly weeds. A stranger coming to our city and seeing such stuff growing on our principal streets would go away with the idea that we were not dead but simply sleeping, but he’d be sadly mistaken if he remained here for a time. He would find the “Magic City” very much awake. I see Chas. Hinkley has gone to Jack sonville to take charge of the S. F. & W. Ry. dinning rooms.

TEE CENTEAL’S COMPLAINT B« la Cb.rc.d With th. UllDM .1 Kail- road Tickets Issued for Editors Who Attended the Weekly Press Association. Brunswick, Ga., July 13.—Tha Weekly Press association has had some sensational features attending the con vention here and one of its leading members has been removed from office and suspended from the association. The trouble grew out of the improper use of railroad passes which had been furnished the association for the use of its members, in going to,, and from the annual meeting at Cumberland. Charges to that effect was brought before the convention, and Charles D. Barber, the secretary of the association was named as the party responsible for their misuse. J. C. Haile, general passenger agent of the Central railroad, charged that Barker obtained passes from the road for members who wished to go over that line and then sold the tickets to outside parties, furnishing the mem bers with tickets over the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia railroad, which had been obtained from that company for the same parties and for the same trip. It seems that Barker wrote to several members of the association and asked them if they were going to the conven tion at Brunswick, and if they were he requested them to designate which route they preferred to travel. Some replied that they were not going, and others wrote him that thev would pre fer to go direct from Atlanta by the East Tennessee. Barker got passes by both roads for the same men and sold the Central passes to a broker in At lanta. One by one the passes were cap tured by Samuel Webb, traveling pas senger agent of the Central. He recov ered, all told, about a dozen, it is said, that were in the hands of parties to whom they had been sold bv Barker. The matter was reported to the gen eral passenger agent. To be dead sure he wrote to the parties to whom the passes captured had been issued and asked them to refund the road the price of a ticket from Atlanta to Macon or Savannah, as the case might be, or ex plain how the passes got out of their possession. The editors replied that they had never had the passes over the Central. Some of the editors were red hot when they found ont the trick that had been worked. Their explanations were satisfactory • far as the editors were concerned, bat not with the editor of Ths Temper ance Star. Mr. Haile got his evidence so strong that there could be no question about the scheme Barker used and then he reported the matter to the association. That body suspended Editor Barker and paid the Central for the passes he had sold. Mr. Barker was a candidate for pres ident of the association but the expos ure put him out of the race. WILLIAM NOT COMING. All That Talk About Germany** Ruler at Ihe World** Fair Pronounced False. New York, July 13.—A special from Chicago says: “There is no truth in stories sent ont . from Chicago that Emperor William of Germany is coming to visit the World’s Fair. Herr Wermuth, the German Im perial commissioner, is making prepa rations to return home, and the report has been circulated for several days that the kaiser had recalled him in or der that he might escort his majesty to America in September. ••Herr Wermuth has never said that the emperor would come here, and de nies any responsibility for the stories that have been floating around. “An attache of the German commission” is the person usually quoted as authority for the reports that the emperor is cominz. BARELY ESCAPED A MOB. A Murdorei Lynched Who May Yet for HI* Crime. Cando, N. D., July 13.—Albert Barn- burger, the young murderer who killed Ben Kreider, his wife and four children on Friday, narrowly escaped lynching here. He had been caught at Delor- aine, Manitoba, a few miles from the border, and agreed to come back with Sheriff McCune, of Ramsey county, without extradition papers. When the sheriff and his prisoner ar rived, a mob of determined men were waiting for him with the fixed plan of hanging the murderer to the nearest telegraph pole, but Sheriff McCune suc ceeded in eluding the mob. It is a question, however, whether Bambur ger is any safer in Ramsey county than he would have been here, as there is the wildest indignation over his bloody crime. Party Will Lead Off In Aueost. Richmond, July 13.—The leading Peo ple’s party advocates declare that this ticket will be placed in the field at the convention to be held in Lynchburg, August 3: For governor—S. B. C.
