The Banner "Wheat County of the United States. The Banner Artesian "Well County of the "West The BanDer Syrup Producing County in the State All Three Unsurpassed in Fer tility of Soil and Other Ad vantages and Inducements to Homeseekers. McPherson County. dcPlieron county is a level agricultural county in the center ot the state, and for a number of years enjoyed the reputation of Twing the banner wheat county of the United States. The soil is of the best, the rainfall abundant and the average yield of grain is simply wonderful. Over 00 per rent of the land is in improved farms. Two colleges, several high schools and 120 com mon schooLs are in actual operation, giv ing insurpabsed educational facilities. The four pricipal railroads of the state, viz: The A., T. S. P., the C, R. I P. IT. P., and TM. P., run through the county insuring cheap, and convenient transpor tation. Wheat has given an average yield of over fifteen bushels per acre, and the aver age for 1889 was twenty-five bushels per acre, with many fields yielding from thirty five to forty-five bushels. o one can take a drive through the county without being convinced that here is a land where farm ing will pay if anywhere. improved farms can be purchased at from twenty to thirty dollars per acre, ac cording to location and improvements; there is very little choice in the quality of land in this county, it is universally good. J-uid is actually worth what it will pay income on in rents. Land in dePheron county readily rents for one-third of the crop delivered, except broom corn land, Which is one-fifth. The following table is computed from the reports of the state linnrd of airricultureand is official. The table shows the average rental value of land for the last '.even years in the four lending staple products of the county and the average for each year and for each product for the seven years. The value of the products are computed at the market price in TMcPherson at the time the crop harvested.

S 41 i j rental value entrnl states Compare the above with the of land in the eastern and ce and you will at once see that there should be but little if any difference in the price of land in order to make the investment pay the same rate of profit. Taxes in McPherson county average only ten cents per acre, an item of no small moment to thoe who are burdened with the high priced land of the eastern states. Sup pose that money is worth eight per cent, and after deducting fifteen cents per acre for taxes and expenses we have &2.S0 net, as die average rental value of land iu McPherson county, this will pay interest on an average price of SH5 per acre, and have expenses and taxes all paid. I3ut you do not have to pay S$3 per acre, but can purchase all you desire at from t20 to ?0. Js it not a good and safe investment? Then. aiain, rates of interest are constant ly decreasing while the valueof laud in the west is constantly increasing. The city of McPherson is one of the liveliest in the state; has waterworks, electric lights, street cars and a general air of prosperity that is truly refreshing. Do not fail to visit McPherson county while in Kansas. Meade County. Meade county lies west of the center of the htate, in the south tier of counties and contains tRW.OOO acres of land, with a soil not excelled in any country, and no county in the state has a greater proportion of fcinooth. tillable land. The celebrated Crooked creek valley ex tends through the whole county from northwest to southeast, and in the richest portion of this valley, already more than one hundred flowing wells have been ob tained at a depth of from fifty to two hun dred feet, and at a cost of from 823 to $7." each, which send forth a constant stream of clear, pure water with great force, mak ing this valley, with its rich soil, the nat ural home of the market gardener aud dairyman. There are fifty-six organized school dis tricts iti the county, and many of the school huildimrs compare favorably with those of old and well improved eastern stntes. w htle its church privileges are equal to thus of any county of its age in the state. There are few places in the United States where so healthful a. climate is found: the light, pure air being very bene ficial to tlOMS Millering from asthma or diseases of the throat and lungs. The Kock Island railroad enters the county ou the east, near the northeast cor ner, and loaves it south of tlie center on west. Fowler. Meade (the county seat), lasper and Wost. Plains are stations ou the road within the county, and are good trad ing and shipping points. Farms, lare or small, and adapted to either stock raising or mixed fanning, can now be purcliased at very low prices, thus affording the poor man an opportunity to share with the more wealthy, in the rapid increase of the value of these land, while securing for himself not only a home, but a coinnetency for old age. Our greatest success i found in com bined agriculture and stock raising. The cheapness of land, abundance of gra. and short, mild winters make it possible to raise liorses. mules and cattle cheaper than in any other agricultural state in the union, and there is no country where they devefop more quickly ami jierfectly. The growing of horses and mules is especially recotmiieitded, and the opportunities in this direction ean not be surpassed. Hogs and sheep do well, and it is safe to say that more hogs will be raised in the county this year than in any three previous years. Our land is capable of producing all kinds of crops suited to this latitude. Fruit growing is free frow many of the drawbacks in the east and northeast. The aoil is well adapted, and climate propitious. There is no winter killing or bark burst ing, while he pure air prevents Might and mildew. This enterprise has been very successful wherever intelli gently undertaken in the county, and especially so with the stone fruits. Or chards planted in 18S4 and 1S55 have borne their first crops, small, it is true, but very encouraging. Peaches, plums and cher ries are large in size and fine in flavor, re sembling the products of Southern Cali fornia more than specimens from eastern states. The production of sugar from sorghum cane bids fair to be one of the chief sources of wealth to the farmers of western Kan sas, and the soil and climate are well adapted to the growtli of an excellent qual ity of sugar producing cane. There is a large sugar plant already erected at Meade and plants are under construction at "West Plains and Mertilla iu this county. We want more farmers in Meade county, and we offer you, rich, fertile land socheap that every industrious man with a little means can have a home of his own. A home in a healthy climate, among moral, intelligent and wide-awake people. A home not among strangers, but among peope from your own state. A home with church and school privileges in every neighborhood. An abundance of good, pure water and good railroad facilities. Ness County. Ness county is essentially a farming and stock raising county. During the last five years the development of her agricul tural resources has been continuous not withstanding the general business depres sion. Every year has shown more farming aud better crops. The ofiicial record of State Board of Agri culture from which we shall quote all statistics given herein prove this. In 'SG the assessed valuation of the county was 8747,752.10; in '88, $1,870,200. The total values of farm products have been in 'So, 21,710.40; 'SO, $304,118; '87, ?305,025; 'SS, 12:j,0.'3G.r7; 'SO, 529,034. HO. In 'So, the acre aye of winter wheat was 2,So3,the yield 34, 200 bushels; in SO, 3,011 acres and 40,943 bushels; in 'S7, 4,203 acres and 42,0:30 bush ele; in '68, 10,141 acres and 131,833 bushels; in 'S9, 10,203 acres and 133,075. For seven vears the average yield of wheat has been 13 9-10 bushels per acre. Over 31,000 acres will be harvested in 1S90 and wheat never looked better at this season of the year February. In '89 County Commissioner Brumback got twenty-live bushels to the acre from thirty-four acres. County Com missioner Scherzinger raised forty-two bushels to the acre on seventy-seven acres. This was the beat field of so large an acre age in the state. While Xess is not surpassed as a wheat county it is not claimed that it is a great corn county. However, the 4,837 acres of corn in '85 had become 19,S37 in 'S9, and the yield had grown from 120,925 bushels to 450,241. Xess ranked seventeenth among qhe 100 Kansas counties in broom corn, producing 327,000 pounds in 'S9, and 11,522 tons of millett and Hungarian gave her fifteenth place. In !89 barley averaged 25 mid oats 33 bushels to the acre, 83,731 bushels of rye being raised on the 4,iti acres sown. Ten thousand six hundred and forty-six pounds of cheese and iuo,o.M imitul "of butter were nroduced. The Xess City creamery sold 10,232 worth of lmtter fQm Mny ,g9j lieil it openeu. to Decemljer ;51) Sy. In sorghum cane Xess stood first in Kansas, with 10,o4 acres and a yield valued nt ?101,000. The capacity of the sugar mill at Xess City is greater than that of any other sorghum sugar mill in the world. In 'SO, at the Garden City Ex position, Xess took first prize overall the counties in Southwestern Kansas. In 'SS, at the Kansas City Exposition, Xess met the best counties in Kansas and Missoufi in competition as to display of farm pro ducts and divided first prize with Cass county, Missouri. With but 5,305 inhab itants in 'S9, Xess has good cause to be proud of her record. The county is well watered by the Paw nee, Walnut. Forrester, South Fork, Xorth Fork, and the tributaries of these and the Smokv Hill river. Excellent well water is found at an average depth of thirty-five feet. There are small belts of timber on the streams. An abundance of the best building stone i found. Many fine buildings and miles of stone posts show this. Xess Citv with but about 1,000 inhabi tants, has thirty-two stone and brick bust ness houses. Certainly no town of the same population in the United States is more substantially built. xneAessuity flouring mill, roller process, is the largest found in this section. The Xess City high school is as handsomely built and ably conducted as any in Kansas. There are seventy-two organized school districts in the county. Xess county is equal distances from the north and south lines of the state and seventy miles west of the center of Kansas. Two railroads traverse the county from eat to wet. Xess is one of the six lamest counties in Kansas, with an area of 1 0S0 square miles, 001,200 acres. Here are 4,320 farms of 100 acres each, nearly every acre plough laud. Over 3.000 of these are un occupied. In one week Xess county can find good, cheap farms for over 3,000 men. In Xes county you will find a fertile soil, a healthful climate and an abundance of cheap farms. You will find good water. good schools, good society ana a coraitu welcome. THE STRIKE MORE COMPLICATED. Chicago, 111.. March 4. The situation of the plumber's strike grows more interest inc. Yesterday the journeymen got on the accressive and succeeded in inducing everv non-union man in town to leave his work. The plumbers say that was done by persuasive means alone Jind that no coer cion was necessary to set the non-union men to stand bv the strikers. Themasrers held a leugthv meeting last night and de termined to hold out against the strikers' deniand-aud more than that they are de termined to stop the union from interfer feringwith such men sus may want to work. -Mrs. i. c. .uuzzy is w iac i.

Special Dispatch to the Dally Eagle. Kiowa, Kan., April 3. Last night another large and enthusiastic meeting of the Kiowa Cherokee Strip colony was held in the city hall as there were several visit ors from Missouri and eastern Kansas wishing to be informed regarding the col ony's object. The meeting was held with open doors, consequently reports of com mittees were deferred uutil the next weekly meeting. Ten new members (non-residents) joined and addressed the meeting. Emptv houses in the city are now being occupied. Farms that were left unculti vated last season have tenants who will raise crops of corn, oats and millet while waiting here for the opening of the strip. Yesterday our real estate men were busy and ouite a number of sales were made; excepting two or three to eastern parties they were to home folks, who fully realize the outlook for the near future of Kiowa from its geographical situation aud the re lative interests of the Cherokee strip when open for settlement. The Kiowa colony is desirous of con ferring with other colonies which contem plate settling on the Cherokee strip, to promote harmony aud avoid any clashing of interest at the time of opening for set tlement. It has been raining since yesterday noon, which insures an abundant crop of wheat. S. Maddox. an old and respected busi ness man, died at 5 o'clock yesterday. ALREADY BEARING PRUTl. Eastern People Inquiring Concerning Pros pective Home3 in Stevens. Special Dispatch to the Dally Eagle. IIugoton, Kan, April 3. Stevens county has organized a county auxiliary society of the state immigration bureau, and every thing is in good running order. Theserec tary is already in receipt of numerous letters and inquiries from the east regarding our resources. As soon as the state society issues the book published on Kansas and her resources, we will distribute them where thev will do the most good. OuroUicers for the ensuing year are: president, J. L. Paucoast; vice-president, G W Kirby; Secretarv, W. F. Schell; treasurer, R. L. Jones; county director, Robert L. Farmer. You would be surprised to see the amouns of farming going on in this coun ty notwithstanding our condition and crop failure last vear. People here now are of a rustling quality and hardly know what defeat means, but are willing and will put their shoulders to the wheel and, no doubt, be blessed with a bountiful liar vest for the year 1S90. Our people now, or the most of them, acknowledge that this 'Mfl business" has nroven a creat detri- nient to our county and than it nas oeen creat lv abused none will deny. Uro-vs misrepresentation and falsehoods have only injured us, and it is an imposition on the good and liberal hearted people of eastern Kansas who responded so willingly at a time when some were actually in need. As it is now over with, we trust all differ ences may be amicably settled and that Stevens countv will be blessed with such a crop that some time in the future we may pay all back with interest. Several people here noticed in the Eagle of the 2oth inst. a pur ported resolution as coming from a meeting of the Farmers' alliance nt i-niintv vice presidents recently held in j Topeka censuring aud condemning Senator I Ingalls for the reason that he was never known to puonciv espouse uic iiiietvsts ui the fanners or agricultural interests during nearly eighteen years service in the senate. A short time ago Senator Ingalls declared acaint dealing in futures in an amend ment to the anti-trust bill. CHOCTAW CITY GOSSIP. Special Correspondence to Use Dally Eacle. CHOCTAW ClTT, Ok..

THAT MUSICAL PATTER. Special Correspondence to the Eagle. Augusta, Kan., April 2. While we write, the muscal patter of copious show ers of falling rain is distinctly heard. It is welcome music. "We realize now that our garden, planted over two weeks ago, will soon come to light in good shape. Theblue grass lawn will soon be ready for the lawn mower. Indeed spring puts new life in all things. The peach trees are just bursting out in full bloom. "We arc expecting an abundant peach crop, as the season is now so far advanced we have but little fears of heavy frosts. Fishing is now in order. Already some of our fishermen have caught line strings of bass out of "Whitewater and "Walnut rivers.These two rivers unite about one-half mile south of our beautiful little city and in this stream we have delightful fishing the greater part of the year. Augusta, with her two beautiful rivers, bordered with timber and three lines of railroad, three excellent stone guarries, (right near the city) in operation, and three large grain elevators, running day and night a greater part of the year, is fast becoming a business metropolis. There is quite a large acreage of winter wheat in this season in this vicinity, and it never looked finer at this time of year than at present. The acreage planted in corn will be large. It is estimated that one third of last year's great grain crop is yet in the farmers' bins. HIS 0W1T SUCCESSOR Eailroad Commissioner Greene Ee-Elected to the Office. Topeka, Kan., April 3. A. R.

Re- The house then resumed the consideration of the Idaho admission bill. m Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, continued his speech in advocacy of the measure and em phasized the assertion that the only objection made to the bill was that those who believed in and taught Mormonism in Idaho were ditrnn chised. He criticised the position taken by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Springer; upon this question, and con trasted it with the position taken by the gentleman at the time of the passage of the Edmunds law, when he voted against a motion to strike out a clause disfranchis ing polygamists. He (Mr. Perkins) knew that some of the Mormons were good men but as an organi zation the Mormon church was pernicious r,ni lviri niifl nnrrhtnotto receive the en dorsement of any man on this lloor. Mr. Mansur, of Missouri, inquired why the gentleman had not voted to disfran chise the Mormons of Wyoming. Mr. Perkins replied that the question had not been presented to the committee. As far as he knew there were no polyga mists in Wyoming but if there were any they would be disfranchised under the Edmunds act. He believed in disfran chising the Mormons on account of their practices and the teachings of their church. It was for the houe to say whether it would crown with its approval the criminal organization known as tne j,aiu:r -d.i c7nc nnfi -wlipthpr it would tell the in ici- ligentand patriotic people of Idaho that thy would be denied admission until they took into fellowship the men who were guilt v of bigamy and polygamy. Mr'Stewart, of Vermont, spoke in sup port of the bill and denounced the prac tices and teachings of the Mormon church. The constitution of Idaho is in the line of the Edmunds bill and was for the same purpose towit: The extirpation of a great public evil. Mr.Jo-eph, of Xew Mexico, presented the claims of the territory he represented for admission into the sisternoou oi himva. On the ground of population, resources, natural advantages and devotion to Amer ican citizenship, Xew Mexico was as much entitled to statehood as had been the great states that had recently added their stars to tne nag, or as were those territories which it was nn. nrnnntdll tr flllmlt. Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsyh-ania, opposed the Idaho constitution necauH'it ouuuwcu the members of a certain church. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, criticised the compulory education feature of the con stitution. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, said that the majority of the committee on territories had seen fit to frame the Idaho bill in such a wa- as to secure partiwin legislation in stead of proper legislation to bring a state into the union. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, said the atti tude of the Democratic party was a famil iar sight to the people of the country. The Democratic party was in its old breeches, pulling back. back, when the civilized world cried "forward and onward!" Ap plause on the Republican side. The Democratic party wjis a polygami&t laugh ter: it had whole batches of w.ves. Laughter. MivTuruer, of Xev York W e never had more than one name.

Where the Sentiment of the Com munity Upholds it High License and Local Option the Only True Solution of the Question The Party Only Endangared by Disre gard lof the Popular Demand History of the Prohibi tion Morament. Washcoton, April 3. A reporter of tho Associated Press today cnlhnl on Mr. Clarkson, first assirtant postmaster gou ojrI, and asked him in regard to the cause which resulted in the state conference ot the anti-prohibition Republicans In Iowa, and for his views as to the action taken by the convention. Mr. Clarkson said: "It is best to admit fnmkly that tlm conferenco was made up of iutluentJal Re publicans, headed by ex-Govwrnor Kirk wood, formerly United States sanator, and afterwards wcretary of the in terior. It is imposhiblo for any ono outside of the staU of lown to understand the present fowling there unlen t hov know all of the fact. Iowu k a ver stroii"- temuerance stale. When tho Democrat had control of It in the StFa tho sentiment whs even so strong that thn pnrtv enacted a prohibition law prohibit ing the salos of nil kinds of liquors, winon and beers. The Republicans at about tho opening of the war, largely under the m fitience of German immigration, ninondml the law so as to permit th sale of ale, wino and beer, while aloohollo liquor still remained absolutely prohib ited. Temperance agitation went on and at last grew atroug anough to de mand prohibition. Finally it took tho form of a popular movement for a consll tutiomtl prohibitory amendment and tho Republican legislature took tho necessary action to submit the ainendmont to tho people. A non-partisan election was ordered for the STth of June, 1SS2, and pro hibition was carried by about SO.OOO major ity. The supremo court aftarwards de clared the amendment InTalid because ot some technical ernirin tho preliminary leg islntion for its submission. Withthoameud ment thus overthrown, tho temperance people demanded of the Republican jwirtv t lie enactment of a prohibitory law and tho partv m-ognizing the Instructions of the peop'lo at the polls, enacted the present prohibitory law. It went into effect July 4, 1S83; it has therefore been on trial for nearly seven years. "I MiicHk of it from the standpoint of one wiio snpportd the amondmont and nfterwards supported tho enaotment of tlm law, not because I believed It to bo right, hut lwcuusoNothor rowthoda had fulled and I felt us all other Republi can newbpaier mou felt, th.it it woh worthy of trial.

AIT INSTITUTION ENGAGED IN A W0EK OF CHARITY. A Description of the Building and the Manner in "Which it is Conducted A Hospital Furnished With Every Convenience to Min ister to the Sick Man aged by the Sis ters of Mercy. There is probably no more truthful in dex of a city's prosperity than that of its charitable institutions. All cities of any size require them, and an enterprising city is never slow meeting the demands of its growth. Wichita supports several, which BISHOP riENXESEY. will in the course of time be fully written up, attracting as they do the admiration and respect of strangers. This article will be confined to a glance at the St. Francis hospital, situated on North Fourth avenue, in the northeastern part of the city. Although built for another purpose, a few changes have admirably fitted it for its present work, and a casual observer would suppose that it was built for the present purpose alone. It is conveniently situated, within easy reach of the business portion of the city, and has every modern convenience, including water, gas, drain age and every necessary facility for taking care of the sick. Its staff of physicians is composed of some of the best practitioners in the west, and the records of the hospital bear good testimony to their ef iicency and interest in the hospital work. Many difficult surgical operations have been performed there and upwards of ninety per cent have proved to be thor oughly successful. The building is of brick and stone hav ing three iloors and stands in a well kept enclosure affording a commanding view. Its sanitary surroundings are all that could be desired and no place could look more inviting to a patient. Entering by the e;ist door the visitor crosses a spacious gallery opening into a large airy hall from which ascends the grand staircase. The north entrance also '"Wh.,,, ST. FRAXCIS nOSPITAL. opens into the rear of the same hall which connects with the rear and side halls. The reception room entering from the east is the first on the right and is comfortably and tastefully furnished as indeed is the entire building. The telephone is in this room as someone is always within earshot of it. Immediately in tho rear is the drug room which is lined with shelves filled with bottles of every size and kind, pre senting the appearance of a well ordered apothecary shop. In the rear of this again is a small chamber used as a consultation room or sick room if necessary. On the opposite side of the hall are a large parlor and in the rear of which is the operating room or physician's sanctum. This room is furnished with every facility and aid possible and has been tho scene of many successful operations. The second lioor is devoted entirely to the charity wards being divided by a hall on either side of which are neat and com fortable rooms for the sick. Everything is as clean as a new pin and an air of convalescence seems to pervade each apart ment. The third floor is divided in three divisions or wards, one leing devoted to the rooms of the paid patients, one is the apartments of the sisters in charge and the other is the chapel. The sisters' quar ters are neat and airy and although com fortably furnished are less pretentious than the paid wards in the other division. The pay wards are a little larger than the charity wards, offering more seclusion to the jwtient, while the furnishings are a little more elaborate than in the charity wards below. The chapel is tho pride of the institution and the altar is beautifully decorated with emblems of the Catholic faith. A sancti monious influence seems to characterise IX THE CHAPEL this apartment. It is where the sisters worship, and many a prayer for those who we even at death's threshold has been of fered up at this shrine to the God of all. The visitor in an instant realises that this is holy ground. Descending to the ground floor one 1 V5C t a ft T -Q (Pfr 1 fKi r gets a view of a large dining room in the rear of the front hall, although it is at present used for other purposes. The basement contains the kitchens, con valescents dining room, laundry, store rooms, innumerable closets, and every thing necessary to the comfort of the building. Besides the conveniences al ready mentioned, there are bath rooms, elevator, back stairs and several ante chambers. The patients all seem to be in a pleasant and hopeful frame of mind, and indeed at present there are none except those for whom the physicians have strong hopes. The institution is under the immediate management of nine Sisters of Mercy, of whom Sister Scholastico is the superioress. Bishop Hennessey is really the head of the institution, although he does not find it necessary to direct its management. The sisters are all educated and experi enced nurses, having been in hospitals for years, Their ability and willingness to take care of the sick is too well known to need mention. The grateful look of some unfortunate who is slowly but surely re gaining the vigor of health under their mute, assidious and watchful care is a part of their reward and is the highest mortal compliment that can be paid to their untiring devotion to those who are sick and needy. The hospital is supported from four sources; first, from pay patieuts; second, a donation of $75 from the city; third, S-T3 from the county, and fourth a deficit which unfortunately always exists is made good by the sisters or the diocese. But recently the hospital contained and cared for eighteen charity patients which seems to be more than its share and makes it burdensome to the diocese. The pay patients are not plentiful being divided between the three hospitals. The St. Francis accepts all comers who need care regardless of religion or any other con sideration and as a natural consequence the charity patients are in the majority. Not a word of complaint is heard from the sisters who on the contrary seem to find their greatest pleasure in doing deeds of charity. They are of the order known as the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, whose mother house is at Rome. Through the instrumentality of Bishop Hennessy they have come a long way to wait upon the sick, which work they have ONE OF THE WARDS, commenced in earnest as their success attests. An impression seems to exist that the sisters were particularly fortunate in coming in charge of a hospital that was thoroughly furnished but a moments con sideration will dispel any such impression. Since they have come the hospital has been almost entirely refurnished, which must naturally take place nearly every year. They have kept no hired help doing the work themselves and by the most rigid economy have scarcely managed to make both ends meet. In fact the promising condition of the institution today, is large ly due to their ability to manage and frugal habits. Alsitors are always welcomed and in this way the public can best learn of the value and usefulness of the St Francis Hospital. CONTEST ELECTION ANVIIOW. The city council will meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon as a board of canvassers on the recent municipal election. Concerning the contest in the Sixth ward Councilman Mercer slated yesterday that he wasnottiirough with theofliee yet. He claims that when he was elected one year ago he was elected for two years in fact and when the question of preparing a call for the election was being considered he took the advice of some of his friends and decided to make another race under standing at the time that if he should fail to be elected his legal claims to hold over one more year would not be impaired. It is said that he will call on the court to determine whether Mosbacher or Martin was elected to take his place, and when that is decided the court will be called upon to decide whether or not Mercer will hold another year or whether the vote of the ward will amount to anything. The tickets showed Martin running for short term and Mosbacher long term. Tho "'short term" meant one year and "long term" two years. According to this it is claimed Mosbacher will take Herrig's place and Martin to contest the matter with Mercer should the latter in the face of the circumstances carry out his present intentions. It was announced at school board headquarters yesterday that the vote for members of the school board would be canvassed at 3 p. m. today. Mr. Throckmorton who on returns as made was defeated in Fourth ward by five votes by Mr. Ballance, says he will call for a recount on the theory some mistakes may have been made and whether against him or for him it would be the right thing in view of the situation to have a recount and see to it that the returns are absolute ly correct. INTERESTING TO FAKJIEES. The Farmers' alliance has before it a good many important and interesting sub jects to consider carefully and to make im provements upon if possible. It may be said that as good a description ss any of the field which they have to work over would be given in the terms "Law and Labor, Property and Poverty.' It is probable, therefore, that a good many of the intelligent farmers of this county, as well as the citizens of AVichita, will be present Saturday evening April 5 at the First Presbyterian cbnrch in this city to listen to the lecture on the above subject by Joseph Cook of Boston, who aims to get at the right of every subject no matter who is hit and wBo is as brainy a man as L now lecturing in America. THK KOCK 1SI,uV"1 TKr,KPnO.'E. The Rock Island ticket agent is suffer ing from cold, not being able to order coal over his telephone. It seems that some time ago a broker was in the habit of using this telephone for all parties, which was clearly an imposition on the telephone company, but since this has been stopped it seems a little unkind that Mr. Ruther ford can't use the telephone for bis per gonal needs. He thinks it about time thai since the ends of justice have been served for the telephone manager to revoke such orders. The Kansas Texas Coal com pany also think, that their customers ought to be allowed the use of toe telephone pro vided, of couree. they do not ue it as a broker for others and impose on toe serrice. ruNEiLvn cmcx.

Died At the family residence on South 1 v ater street at 4 o'clock Thursday morn ing, April 3 of Bright's disease, Samuel Shj-, aged 7S years. Samuel Shy was a native of Kentucky and resided in that state through the ear lier years of his life and until mature man hood when he removed to and became a citizen of Blinois, where he resided for several years. Subsequently he removed to Texas where he resided for a term of years and finally, in 18S5, removed to this city and took up his permanent abode. In his early manhood Mr. Shy chose the law as his professien and an incident oc curred soon after he entered upon its practice that gave him notoriety and brought him into prominence in his pro fession. Contemporaneous with him at the time referred to was the now venerable and world-famed Cassius M. Clay, who adopted journalism as his life work. About this time the slavery question was occupy ing a prominent place in political discus sion and Clay advocated the anti side of the question through his paper the True American. The sentiment of the commu nity, Lexington, was largely on the other side so embittered did many of the people become against Clay that a mob visited his newspaper office and demolished the material. Nothing daunted the invincible Cacius set about repairing the damage and at the same time announced his determi nation to prosecuted the despoilers of his property and outragers of his rights and privileges as a citizen. He applied to the lawyers of his town to take his case and conduct the suit, but either through fear of public sentiment or lack of sympathy all refused in turn until the young attorney, Sam Sli3r, was reached. Being in sympathy with Clay and his side of the question at issue he promptly iccepted the offer of the case and prosecuted it to successful issue though opposed by the ablest lawyers of the country and time who were backed by the sentiment of the community. This contest and success gave Shy little less fame than the incident did Clay, and shortly afterward the latter who had studied law entered the practice and formed a partnership with Shy which con tinued up to the time Mr. Shy left the state. Mr. Shy filled several important and re sponsible positions, mainly judicial, during his life and was always a man of decided opinions. For several vears past he has suffered greatly from kidney troubles and was confined to his home much of the time. But he was never idle, and a few months since he conceived the idea of the government assuming control of the mon etary system of the country. After much study and labor he finally formulated the plan, recently mentioned in the AVashing ton dispatches and which was presented to the senate by the great champion of na tional finances, Senator Sherman, on whose motion it was referred to the appropriate committee of that body to consider and re port upon. Mr. Shy has made many friends by his frank and affable disposition since becom ing a citizen of this city as he did wher ever lie lived, and none ever knew him but will be pained to learn of his death. LEAVING rOK HIS NEW HOME. The Rev. AV. J. Tull leaves today for Kingman, accompanied by his family, where he takes charge of the First M. E. church, one of the best in the conference outside of AVichita. The good wishes of many friends ac company him to his new field of labor. He has done a good work in A,Vichita and his church has steadily grovai under his lead ership. His work here has been thorough and faithful and has endeared him to the people. He has also many friends outside of his denomination who will regret his departure from their midst. Being thor oughly conscientious his advice and sym pathy have been a great consolation to many, and his words carry conviction with them. Perhaps no minister of the gospel has a more general acquaintance amongst all classes than the Rev. Tull who was looked to for comfort in the hour of need by both saint and sinner. His popularity amongst the young folk has been a subject of comment, and there was a feeling amounting almost to superstition in regard to marriages at which he officiated. As a natural consequence he officiated at a great many marriages and the young couples felt that they were commencing life under particularly happy auspices. A good man and true, is the universal ver dict of his many friends, and may success attend his work is their wish. A WICHITA MAX EXTEKTAIXED. The Kansas City Journal of yesterday, in a special from Fort Worth, Tex., states that H. O. I3alch, of AVichita, Kan., was robbed of $440 at the depot where he got off the train, iir. Balch is quoted as saying that he was handled a little rough when he got off the train, but thought little of it until missing his pocket book a few min utes afterwards. From this it is concluded the Texas thieves are well organized and know that when a man first strikes the state and leaves the train is the most pro fitable time to pounce on to him. After the open faced hooknosed thieves had been at him a few days the fellows who take chances would have little to struggle for. SATISFACTORY ISKSUI.T. There was considerable talk alout the rain yesterday; the rainfall being two and three-fourtlis inches. The streets and crossings, in many instances, were un pleasant but no one was disposed to file objections. The farmers were smiling and the jobbers were just a little more pleased than any one else. The rainfall had reached all the country that is tribu tary to AVichita and hence the personal in terest m the many thousands of dollars worth of rain. This was calculated to produce the rich smile that it really did. MAJtRIKD. At the residence of the bride's parents, 3tr. Robert N. Ames and Miss Cora E. Fuller were united in marriage, the Rev. J. A. Holmes, of Norwich, officiating. Af ter the ceremony a bountiful spread wns enjoyed by the happy couple and a tew friends. Many presents both useful and valuable were showered upon Mr. and Mrs. Ames. At the bride's home, near Clarion, Pa., Thursday, March 27, 138), by Rev. Frank P. Britt,M. AVHliam II.

The Alliance meeting at the court house last night was fairly attended. Mr. T. L. Dixon was made chairman who presented as the first speaker Mr. F.M. AYatts, who has charge of the farmers' exchange. He out lined the principals of the Alliance and labor unions of America, The organiza tions, had come, not to break down, but to build up, with good will to all and inmity towards none. One of tha Alliance lecturers for the state, Mr. B. Kies of Newton, spoke at length on the principals of the Alliance He regards the.mgi?nal banking system as very ohifiggfsf: e and should be changedjjiJlgP!: .tiine of the condition of the Kansasfarmer and laboring classes he made a gloomy picture. The "hap piness" with the Kansas farmer with his cheap corn was not as extensive as desired. This the result mostly of monopolies and an organized warefare would result in bringing about much better conditions. The undertaking was not so big but that it could be accomplished without blood shed, provided work commenced immedi ately. He thought the millionaires should compelled to step down the ladder just a little. Chairman Dixon announced that in a short time the industrial classes would organize for election purposes. He said that resubmission and prohibition were very small questions as compared with some others. AVhile he believed prohibi tion to be a boodle scheme from executive board down, he thought other questions of more importance. ORATORICAL. CONTEST. Mr. Trotter's elocutionary class, com posed of some of the brightest young la dies and best elocutionists in the city, will have a Demorest medal contest at Emporia Avenue M. E. church on AA'ednesday even ing next, April 9. The declamations will be interspersed with music by some of the best musical talent in tho city, altogether making the program for the occasion a very interesting one, that will no doubt draw a full house. Mrs. AVm. H. Swentzell presented her husband with a beautiful little girl yes terday. Judging from the little one's healty appearance she will have very little use for her father's drugs. The best intelligence of the east is at work on the problems of Law and Labor, Property and Poverty. Joseph Cook is as able as any man who has taken up the public discussion of this subject. Don't miss his lecture Saturday evening. All parties living in the neighborhood of St. Paul's M. E. church arc invited to the chapel this evening; where a reception will be given the new pastor, Rev. Samuel AVeir. Short speeches will be made by Revs. Savin, Horton, AVood and others. The question for debate at the Baptist church tonight 'reads, Resolved, That Francis Bacon wrote the dramatic plays commonly attributed to AA'illiam Shake speare. Affirmative: Prof. H. S. Mc Michael and R. F. Knight. Negative: IL E. McElroy, Esq., and S. D. Lieurance. That pot of doubloons and its lid have had their day and served their purpose, so that we cannot afford to take up the point ed suggestions and funny advice sent us through the mails from readers. The mat ter was gotten up on the spur of the mo ment and was not intended to fool anybody very badly, as an explanation of the whole thing was found in the plain letters of one of the illustrations, although one writer complains of the fact that we put a period" between each letter, which seems to have misled him.

The keeperof the lodging room for vsgracta in the Fourth Precinct station houso reported at the hospital late one bleak night in winter that cno of their lodgers, a new conipr, was very ill. The man waa brought to the hospital in an ambulance, and the following history of hia case was placed upon oar records: "Thomas Hunn, aged 47, residence Yonkors. Widower. Bora in Ireland. Had lived in tho United States thirty-nine years. Painter. No friends. Complains of pain in left hypo chondria and in umbilical regions: Says he was kicked in the abdomen at 10 a. m. the day before by an unknown man,on Cherry Btreet. Ho is of medium height and weight and dark complexion. Dresed in dark blue sack coat and trousers, -with blue flannel shirt, heavy shoes and woolen socks. Clothing evidently now and of quality worn by labor ing men for holiday dress. No external sign of injury. Pulso and tempe-ituro normal. I had tho man put to bd and ordered an opiato for him, under which his pain disap peared and he fell osieep. The following morning his general condition was good, and, as our beds were in domand, I decided to have him transferred to another hospital. Ho wished to drees himself for the ride, and, as ho sat up in bed to don some of his clothing, ho suddenly expired. I rushed to his ddo, but before I could reach him the spark of life had gone out. He died without a groan. The autopsy held by tho coroner revealed an injury to the internal organs Euflklent to causa death. He bad doubtless bton kicked some days previous to his death, and had not realized tho serious naturo of the blow. As we had no addresses by which ie could find his relatives or acquaintances, we were obliged to givo a minute description of him to tho newspapers. No news resulting from thra advertisement, his body was tent to the morgue. A few days later a man called at tho hos pital and asked to see the house surgeon. I was busy at tho time, and he amused himself meanwhile in looking over our "Reporters' Book," a volume kept for the benefit of news paper men. AVhen I came to him he had the book opn at the entry relating to Thomas Hunn. I at once recognized him as a private detective. ""What do you know about Thomas Hunnl1' he nsked. "Very little. "What you read there fa the extent of my information regarding him." "I am looking for a gentleman who disap peared recently from an uptown hotel. His case is mysterious. AVlien I read in the news papers about Hunn I became curious regard ing him." "But Hunn was a workingman. n had nothing of tho gentleman about him." "Come with me to the morgue," said the detective; "you may be right, but I want to satisfy myself."' As soon as he had looked at the body of the man I had known as Thomas Hunn, he took some photograpbi from his pocket. They were pictures of the dead "painter." Sending for the brother and son of thj missing man, tho detective related to me a strango story. "Tho vagrant who died under the name of Thomas Hunn was, up to ten days ago, a hos pitable, genial man, living in luxury at a ho tel on Fifth avenue. He was worth millions, which ho had made in tho west. Ills dinner and suppera wors considered triumphs of epi curean skill bv the bon vivanto of tho city. Suddenly ho disappeared. Nothing has been heard of him until this moment. The dead roan's relative bad arrired and bad established the identification mnd by the detective. It was not until some month biter that I learned the details of tfee c&ee. I mat the de tective one evening, and he said "Tee Thomas Hunu affair will never b wholly cleared up. It eeaie that the rmUion aire left hit hotel one day in company with a workings: an. When the wenternT's moBtr gave oat he pawned hw clothe and jewsiry and continued onsil he was agala 'broke But there is so doubt that be wm ranrdered. Some day a clue may be fosnd to the my tery.
