The Democratic party need not worry over “having no issue."—St. Louis Repnblie, ss of six weeks John After au ill J. Frey, one of the best known rail- way men in the United States, died in Sedalia Monday morning. He was born in Jeffersonville, Indiana, September 27, 1845, At the age of 17 he carried messages for the Obio & Mississippi railroad. Having Jearned to telegraph, he was advane- ed to the position of operator and then to trainmen for that road. In 1868 he assumed charge of the Mo. Pacific station at Jefierson City— then division point of that road. He remained there until 1872, when he went to Sedalia to occupy a simil r position with the M, kK. &T. He grew in favor with the railroad com- pany and was made division superin- tendent. In 1888 he was elected vice-president and general manager of the road. In 1893 he was made vice-president and general manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Feremained with road until January 1, 1900, when he went to New Mexico for his wife’s health. He remainedin Mexivo but a few months when he was made president of the Denver & Cripple Creek railroad.

Gantt of the Supreme Court, who announced hiseandidacy for the Democratic nomination for Govern- or, while at Clinton recently, returned home to-day. He said today that he stands by the announcement and will make the race. “Will you resign from the office of Supreme Jurge?” was asked. “Not until the exigencies of the oc- casion demand it,” he replied. ‘I can serve on the benchand make the race as well as other gentlemen, who are mentioned for the nomination. It in the heat of a state canvas I should be compelled to neglect my duties as Supreme Judge, I shall certainly re- sign.” Indicted Senators Prepare For Trial- Jefferson City, Mo., July 11.— Whether Circuit Judge J.

NINETY MILES IN osteo, ‘as “Golden adow of that General Miles Went the Entire Dis- tance Horseback, El Reno, Ok, July 14.—General Nelson A, Miles rode into Fort Reno at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon alter the most strenuous ride of the age. He left Fort Sill at 5:10 o'clock this morning and completed the ninety- mile ride in nine hours and ten min- utes. The record-breaking part of the trip was the thiity-five mile stretch between Port Sill and Ana- darko, This was accompiisted in two hours and twenty five minutes, Daring the trip the general had nine mounts, Captain Sayre of the fighth cavalry made the ride with iim: the rest of the escort used gov- ernment teams and ambulances, ‘The general was the freshest looking man inthe party, Le wore dark trousers and canvas leggings, light blue shirt and white helmet, As he dismounted he remarked: enjoyed every moment of the trip; there was one time | felt particularly good; that was when I came up to the men who had charge of the pack teams, just south of the Canadian river. They hada lunch ready, and T enjoyed it with them. It made me feel extra good.” The general shows no signs of even being tired. Forty minutes after his arrival at Fort Reno he was on the parade grounds and in fatigue uni- form reviewing the six companies of infantry. ‘ Deducting the twenty minutes spent at luncheon and the leisure time consumed in making the re- mounts, the wonderful ride was made in eight hours. This achievement of the 64 year old veteran will go down in history as a record breaker, Im- mediately after the review the gener- al and Colonel Mans drove to El Reno, caught the afternoon train and left for Fort Riley. LEO PUZZLES HIS DOCTORS. “1 Cannot Imagine How The Pope Keeps Alive,” Said Lapponi. Rome, July 15, 1:20a.m.—Another remarkable rally in Pope Leo's condi- tion occured yesterday afternoon, after a morning in the course of which His Holiness suffered spells of de- lirium. At times his etrengthsank to the lowest ebb, and he now lies in no worse condition than he was on Mon- day evening, except for the steady diminution of his strength. Mon- signor Bisleti, master of thechamber, visited the sick room just after mid- night and on emerging stated that the pontifi’s condition was unchang- ed. A little later the pope fell into a sleep which it has just been announe- ed is fairly tranquil, although the patient’s respiration is troublesome. Yesterday’s rally was characterist- ically opposed to every medical the- ory and consisted in getting out of bed, on which two hours previously the pope himself liad made all prep- arations for death.
