VOL. XXVI. Grover Will Not Have It. New York, Nov. 29.—Grover Cleve- land has sent the following letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle: “Princeton, Nov. 14, 1903 —My Dear Mr. McKelway: I have waited for a long time to say something oh President Indignant---Summary | which I think should be said to you ’ before others, You can never know ‘he of Findings. how grateful | am for the manifesta- tion of kindly feeling toward me on the part of my countryman, which your initiative has brought ous. Your advocacy in tie Eagle of my nomination for the presidency came to me as & great surprise, and it bas been seconded in such a manner by democratic sentiment that contlict- ing thoughts of gratitude and duty have caused me to hesitate as to the time and manner of declaration on my part concerning the subject, if such declaration should seem neces- sary or proper. In the midst of it all and in full view of every consid eration presented, I have notfora moment been able, nor am I now able, toopen my mind to the thought that in any circumstances or upon any consideration I should everagaiu become the nominee of my party for the presidency. My determination not to do so is unalterable and con- clusive, This you, at least, ought to know from me, and I should be glad ifthe Eagle were made the medium of : its conveyance to the public.

Beavers and his associates received less than $20,000 from the auto- _ matic cashier, yet the department Jexpended $74,275 for this wholly unnecessary machine.

Maddy, of Elkhart, took dinuerat Aaron's last week and took a red heg home with him. Mr. Georve Thompson had a can- cer tuken off her breast Inet Thurs- day at Kansas City It is reported last Sunday she wasdoing well If she continues to improve as she has the Jeast few days will not be long till she will be among her friends again. Mrs. Mollie Bradley and two boys, of Michigan, stayed with Aaron and family last Friday. She had come to see her sister, Mrs. George Thomp- son, who has gone to Kansas City. Corn husking was all the go last week. A large amount of it is soft, Miss Maggie McCann has the meas- les in good shape. Six more of the family are to have them yet. 8.8. Martin came home from Pleas- anton, Kan., last week, where he was thrown from the wagon, as it passed off the state line bridge. Hie head was awfully hurt by falling against the wrench holding the dou- ble tree. The print is plain both eyes that were hurt are doing as well as could be expected. Rev. Sapp preached at Rich Hill Sunday—morning and night, and the preacher of Rich Hill was at Virginia the same day, Preaching at the Christian church the first Sunday in December at 11 &. m, and at night. Protracted meeting is going on. James Walker was at Madison, Kan.,, last week looking for a farm. Mrs. H. H. Flesher, of Lamar, vie- ited her brother, G. W. Park, several days last week. Last week two colored ladies of Butler visited in Parktown and Vir- ginla in the interest of their church debt. They called on Mrs, Aaron, They asked her if her husband was dead. She told them that he went to town with the turkeys and a hog. They told her they had talked with him on the road, and they thought he was a good man. They gotsome- thing for their church. The people of Parktown and Virginia treated them kindly. AARON, A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very ex- pensive.

The records of 1,000 post offives have been exam- ined, and the files of many divisions of the departinent, covering a period of from six to ten years, ecrutinezed. The system of organised corrup- tion that has been disclosed began in Ve 1893 and continued until stopped by r this investigation. The amount of money secured by these corrupt offi: cials and their confederates is small compared to the total loss to the » government. To illustrate: There is no evidence that Louis received any compensation from Ault & Widborg, yet during the first year of his ad- ministration the expenditure for cancelling ink increased over $10,- 000.
