Daily Standard from Wellington, Kansas • 3

LAST The Senate and, the House Concur. And Appropriate a Large Sum To Purchase Creek and Seminole Lands. Two Land Offices to be Opened. Special to the Daily Standard. WASHINGTON, D.

March sen. ate and house concurring, nearly two million dollars were appropriated to pay the Creek and Seminole Indians for all their title to lands west of the ninetysixth degree, said lands to become a part of the public domain by proclamation of the president. The president is also authorized to appoint three commissioners to negotiate with the Cherokees for all their claims west of the 96th degree. These lands are to be a part of the public domain and the president is authorized to open two land offices. This is as good as the Springer bill.

-To-day is inauguration day. Before the sun sets Benjamin Harrison of Indiana will have taken the oath of office as president of these United States and will have the reins of government well in hand. By that time Grover Cleveland, the man who has stood at the head of the greatest nation on earth and guided its destinies with a firm hand for four will have stepped down into the ranks of private citizenship, an honorable place, and one which in this free country is occupied equally by all classes. That such a great change i in the administrative powers of a great government can take place so quietly and with so little general stir is creditable to a civilized and enlightened nation. The moment that General Harrison repeats the oath of office and is declared president, he is the leader of all Americans not the representative of a party nor of a faction, but the president of all the people in the United States, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude.

His office is the grandest created by the minds of men. His powers are al nost unlimited, and he is mightier than a monarch of a foreign country. That General Harrison will rise equal to the demands of his honorable and high position is a matter of little doubt. He comes from a family with a history replete with patriotism and statesmanship and has long occupied an eminent position in the country's affairs. The STANDARD, as an American institution, welcomes the new administration and hopes the four years of its reign may be prosperous and memorable in American history.

H. SM PH, PETER B. SPEARS. Directors. Sheriff Adams returned last night from Coffey ville, bringing with him one J.

T. J. Gentry, a man about twenty-three years of age, who is charged with horse stealing. Gentry was arrested at Coffeyville by N. M.

Clifford, a deputy sheriff there, on the authority of postal and in cards sent out by Sheriff Adams, response to a telegram sent here Friday, the sheriff went after his man and brought him in yesterday. Gentry, who has spent a number of years of his life as a cowboy, is charged three with stealing two! horses, one years old, and the other six, from James Bartlett, three miles west of Oxford, on the night of January 19th. When taken into custody he denied the charge, although he acknowledged having had the horses in his possession, having bought them on January 20th-the next day after they disappeared -from another party. The three-year-old he had sold for $20, and it was to be found on a ranch in the territory, while the other one he had traded to a horseman in Coffey ville for a roan and the man with whom he had "swapped" had since gone east and would be hard to find. When Gentry saw the case that the officers had against him he offered to make restitution as far as in his power lay, by bringing back the threeyear-old that is in the territory and turning it with the roan mare over to Mr.

Bartlett, and would also plead guilty to the charge in the hope of being leniently dealt with. Gentry had another horse at Coffeyville, which the officers think might also have been stolen, and they are looking for someone to claim it. Speaking of the arrest of Gentry, the Coffey ville Eagle says: One T. J. Gentry, alias Tom Anderson, alias Texas Jack, alias Tom Bronkey, was arrested at the Willard hotel last evening by Deputy Clifford, on a warrant sworn out by one Willis Bridges charging the prisoner with stealing two horses from James W.

Bartlett of Oxford on the night of January 18th. Bronkey arrived in this city and has been stopping at the Willard since the 14th. When he came here he had three horses, but has since disposed of one to contractor Lee. Bronkey had been out on a duck hunt with Mr. Snell and a couple of other gentlemen and had just entered the hotel office and was in the act of taking off his overcoat when Clifford leveled his revolver and ordered hands up, which order was obeyed.

Mr. Bridges leveled his revolver and held the gentleman while Clifford searched him. Mr. Bridges has been oh the trail for some time, arriving in Coffey ville yesterday and got his man at night. Sheriff Adams of Wellington and also Mr.

Bartlett of Oxford were wired. Continued. Horse Thief Captured. The applications of Messrs. F.

B. Snyder and Chas. Lynch for druggist's permits to sell intoxicating liquors, were to-day, by consent of the attorneys for the applicants and the county attorney, continued two weeks, the hearing of Mr. Snyder's application being set for Monday, March 18th, and of Mr. Lynch's for Tuesday, March 19th.

A Treat in Store. The people of Wellington are soon to have the opportunity of hearing Rev. Annie Shaw of Boston. "Rev. Annie H.

Shaw has for six years occupied a pulpit in the state of Massachusetts, and been a most successful pastor. There is no more eloquent lady speaker in America; she is perfectly at home on the platform, and uses the choicest language. The great audience listened breathlessly to her Daily Capital. Smart Sheriff. Last week, while George McKee's trial for selling whisky was in progress at Oxford, a strange man appeared there and excited some notice, on account of the suspicion that he was an officer of the law.

He turned out to be Sheriff Nicholson of Elk county search of McKee, who was wanted in Elk county to answer three different charges. When asked why he came here for McKee he said: "I learned that he was applying for a divorce in this county and that there was a woman in the case who lived here and I came to the conclusion that he wouldn't be very far away from that woman." Ledru Guthrie. Among the prominent young members of the present house is Ledrue Guthrie, of Sumner county. Mr. Guthrie was born at Linsburg, Ohio, thirty-four years ago, completing his collegiate education in 1874, he commenced the study of law and was admitted to practice in 1876, after an examination before the supreme court of Ohio.

At the age of 24 Mr. Guthrie came to Kansas, and engaged in the practice of law at the then frontier village of Wellington. By force of industry and ability Mr. Guthrie has built up a lucrative business and accumulated a comfortable property. In this house Mr.

Guthrie is recognized 88 an able debater and a genial man. In his battle on the floor for the passage of his measure to tax mortgages, he fully demonstrated his ability as a leader and think. er. In appearance Mr. Guthrie is a striking figure.

Standing fully six feet in height and built like an athlete, he i is perhaps the finest appearing man physically in the house. Mr. Guthrie is a popular member of the house and we predict will be heard from in the future political history of the state. Journal. New Goods New Prices I New Display THE FAIR!
