Delegates Elected to Hold a Meeting Saturday Next The Questions to bo Considered by the Dele gate Convention. Somo of the Democrat tricksters and job lot office holders who got into office without political parentage held a meet ing yesterday afternoon. It was not the first meeting of th-j kind as there have been a number of back alley and dark room caucuses. The cause of it is found in the fact that in response to the demands of many good Republicans and tax payers, the county Republican central committee decided to give the bet element of the party a chance to express itself on tho ad visability of putting up a complete city ticket next spring. The announcement was made somo days ago in the EAGLE and from that date some of the Thanksgiving turkeys were neglect ed and no doutbt will tomor row present an opportunity for very unsatisfactory picking. Some of the fellows without any convictious and not anxious to stand up for inspection before any party feeling that they would be in secure in the event of any inspection at all by any party that cared to be responsible for them have been heard to bark and it is supposed by some the howl came in an ticipation of the stone likely to be sent after them on municipal election day. Some of them have been quite active in telling about how the city would be ruin ed by having officials who could boast of a political parentage and bo held resposible by some one for their actions. The city under such conditions, in their opinion, would uallop along in debt at the rate of $3,000,009 per year, and things would bo done with a high hand without cover. But despite all this, the evening of the 25th of November, 1S0D, arrived, and the meet ings in every ward were attended by Re publicans who pay taxes aud are engaged in business aud interested in themselves and the city. As will be seeu from the re ports, there was unusual interest shown, and delegates elected to meet next Satur day evening, Nov. 2i, to organize tho city for responsible business. There was ven' little of tho free for all plug raco program talk as the idea was not a popular on?. These in attendance claimed that they had enough of that sort of tz menu aud a change might be beneficial. EIRST WAUD. The first ward meeting was held in tho Crawford opera house building aud com posed of representative citizens. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Chas. Bellow who suggested Col. M. Stewart for chairman. Col. Stewart extending thanks asked for some one to explain fully the object of the meeting when Mr. O. G. Ecstein said tho meeting had been called by the members of the county Re publican central committee living in tho city and was for the purpose of selecting delegates to meet next Saturday evening at tho Republican headquaiters. Tho delegates elected iu their meeting should consider the advisability of making Re publican nominations for the city election next spring. It was also desired by the county central committee that the dele gates in tho various wards should bring with them to the delegate meeting the opinions and judgment of tho represnta- tivo members of the party. Should the delegates conclude to nominate a party ticket they would also select a city central committee to take tho matter in charge, and at the proper time placed in the regular way for presenting to tho people a ticket which from top to bot tom would show the very best of business men whose honesty and fidelity to the city were beyond question, and who would at once by the people be recognizod as safe men for public duty. Mr. Ecstein said that personally he con sidered it mighty proper for some party to be responsible for every man in office. The central committee hud requested each ward to elect two delegates from each pre cinct aud one at Inrge. On motion of Mr. .Toe Henley, H. Flem ing was made secretary. Mr. Henley said that it would probably be appropriate to dwell upon the question all along tho line in order that the delegated elected should understand the fecliim of tho people. The delegates and committee to be appointed could decide on the advisability of a party ticket or anything else. Personally ho was in hearty sympathy with the move ment to make every officer responsible to some one. It was astonishing to a man of any political faith to see tilings in such a chaotic state. In his judgment not con ducive to good government. Mr. F. J. Arnold thought generally speaking, the plan to draw party linos was a good one, but at this moment in Wichita he was not prepared to think it a good plan He questioned the advisability of having party tickets. Mr. A. M. Sturdevant moved a commit tee of five be appointed by tho chair to re port seven delegates from the ward. After Iitthf discussion the motion prevailed ami the chair appointed A. M. Sturdevant,.1. D. Caldwell, F. L. Arnold, C. Keckmeyer, JohnMooro, after which a recoss of fifteen minutes was gi en to enable tho commit tee to make a report. The committee reported the following: Delegates from First precinct of the First ward A. C. Huscy, William Cassell. Second precinct J. H.Moore, Dr. Henry Owen Third precinct D. E Fuller, R, L. Bos tic and delegate at large Charles M. Jono-. The report was adopted by a uuauimous vote. Mr. .1. E. Henly moved tho adoption of the following resolution: Keolved by the Republicans of the First ward in mass conwution assembled, that we favor the nomiiiHtion of a Repnbli an city ticket, to be voted for at the approach ing spring election, and that the delegates appointed tonight, are hereby instructed to use their influence in selecting city central committeemen f jr the Firt ward, to apiMMut Republicans who are in sym imthpy with sentiment of this resolution. The motion to adopt the resolution found a second in Mr. Eckstein. It wa adojited without discussion. SECOXD WARD. In the Second ward the meeting was held at the Republican headquarters. Mr. II. G. Toler was made chairman, aad E. I. Spencer, secretary. For some reason there was a misunderstanding and one ouly dele gate from each voting precinct was elected. Tho work as partially completed is as follows: First precinct B. H. Downing; Second precinct S. E. Williams, and A. T. Buek endge for tho Third. THIRD WARD. The meeting was held in Jndve B. L. Keeuan's office, and Judge E. B Jewel t whs made chairman, and C. H. Brown, secretary. P. A. Rohrbaugh said that the condi tion which confronted the Republicans is a thorough disorganisation with no good cause therefor; that a number of citiiens had called on the members of the county central committee and sugcested that the Republicans of the city should organize aad put a Republican ticket in nomina tion for city office that the party might maintain its organization, and some party be responsible for the city government, Thore is no reasou why tho Republicans should not nominate a ticket of the bett men in the city. That we carried the city in the county election for county officers over ail the other parties co med. Judge F. P. Martin said l.t i-ii.niestly in favor of organiztiou and keening the party intact: it was the only hopes of suc cess in the future, and the city adminis tration should be charged to some party. John W. Adams thought in a city so large some political party should be held responsible for the city administration. That tho Republican vote was growing less because the city is found in a disor ganized condition and eventually the county would become Democratic if the city did not organize. Judge Jewett said he thought thorough organization of the city was right and proper. It might be determined later on whether to nominate a ticket or not. Mr. E. T. Allen thought we should or ganize and if we organize we should nom inate a ticket of straight business men that would command the respect of all good citizens and be better such a ticket could be elected. Other par ties are organizing and expect to elect their men whether nominated or not as their own candidates. C. H. Brooks I believe we stand in no danger of defeat, if wo nominate a good, straight Republican ticket. We have weakened party ties all along the line by putting no ticket in nomination; in spite of all isms we carried tho city for the county ticket. For the sake of the county we should keep up our organization in the city. Tho dominant party has no grounds to fear. The closer the lines are drawn the safer the Republican party. The Re publican party has a majority in this city. The only hope of the Democracy is the dis organization of the Republican party. The following resolution was introduced by E. T. Allen, and adopted: Resolved, That it is tho sense of this meeting that the Republican party of this city organize, and place in nomination a Republican ticket for the coming city elec tion. The following delegates were chosen to attend the city convention ou the 29th iust.: First precinct John W. Adams and 11. Tatgenhorst. Second precinct A. M. Denny and Frank Russell. Third precinct Richard Pool and James Howard; at large, Henry Buford; Alter nates, F. P. Martin and C. H. Brooks. rOCr.TH WARD. Mr. F. T. Brooks was selected chairman, J. S. Carson secretary. Senator Bentley said he was in favor of a str tight ReDubli- can ticket in the city affairs. Jude Museller spoke in favor of party lines and city affairs honestly and econo mically attended to, and this could be reached more accurately by every office holder being inspected by some one before going into office. A committee of five was instructed to re port delegates aud submitted the fol lowing: Col. M. M. Murdock and Major E. R. Powell, at large. L. D. Skinner and Geo. W. Larimer, First precinct. W. H. Castator and W. J. Wilson, Sec ond precinct. C. A. Van Ness and J. S. Carson, Third precinct. PIXTII WARD. Tho meeting was called to order by Mr. J. H. Mercer, and on motion of T. F. Clegg W. W. Clark was made chairman, and L. D. Leiurance, secretary. Mr. Mercer then 6tated that the meeting was called by order of the chairman of the County Cen tral committee, and its object was to se lect delegates to attend a general meeting of delegates from the city to organize a Republican City Central committee. He said tho Republicans had been guilty of electing Democrats to office in tho city and that they had then helped to defeat the Republican party. And that here after it Republicans were defeated they would go down as Republicans. Mr. Mercer was then selected a delegate at large from the Sixth ward. M r. X. W. Orr and J. K. Thompson, del egates from First precinct. Y. S. Englan 1 and T. D. Riggs delegates from the Sec.md precinct. The meeting was unusually largo and very enthusiastic. THANKSGIVING SKKVICKS.

WICHITA WAXES Some l'actors and Instances Which People are Notic Jig. What is the matter with Wichita this week? This is not the holiday season, or least it seems early for that trade to be set ting in, yet the streets are more brisk than for months. Of course everybody lias commenced to realize tnat Wichita is ser enely on top and that which her people al ways knew is being more fully realized by not only surrounding towns but by busi ness men everywhere. Wichita is the hub and center of trade in the Arkansas valley. But the force of that realization and its lasting benefits are yet to come. Long af ter Kansas City's business men realized that their town had become the business center of the Missouri river and of eastern Kansas, Leaveuworth, Atchison and Lnw--enco would not concede the fact. Yet when once the fact was granted there was left only plain sailing for the center at the Kaws mouth, not only, but the interest which before had antagonized became her aids andauxilliaries. Xothinghas occurred ot late that so plainly demonstrated Wich ita's position iu the southwest as the call upon hpr banks and the response by her banking institutions, within the last two weeks, to the banks of the surrounding towns for currency to reinforce them at a time when a crash was threatening iu Xew York. The banks of no other city in Kan sas could have done this and held on to a reservo sufficient to take care of them selves. The crash that was expected didn't come, and if it had it might not have affected the cities of tho west, but in any event Wichita's banking institutions would have been ready for it. Xot only that.but they were in position to have gone to the aid of any institution that had sound se curities or collaterals to offer. The railroads, in the new train service that is beimr now supplied, and whicii has been materially increased within avteek, are but recognizing what everybody is fast finding out, and the fact of the meeting of traffic managers and freight agents which is called for next Thursday at Wichita is but an additional substantial factor of the city's increasing importance. Wichita is becoming nioro solidly en trenched in her position as tho banking and trade center, as the manufacturing packing center and as the grain, live stock and railway center of Southern Kansas daily. A TIGHT IN THi: CHUKCII. Xot exactly a sanguinary affair, but of ide;is, of convictions or of prejudices, or of something of that character is now goiug on iu the Methodist church which prom ises to make the liveliest controversy ever experienced by that denomination since the time when it was divided by the slav ery question. It is all whether women shall be elected lay delegates to the gen eral conference, and a vote is being taken on the proposition by all tho Methodist Episcopal congregations in the country. The First M. E. church will have a ballot ou Thursday afternoon botwecn the hours of 4 and C o'clock, and every member is expected to come and cast his or her bal lot. The admission of women to the general conference makes them eligible to become preachers and bishops and edi tors of church organs, etc. If tho Metho dist church should thus adopt a Congre gational or Republican rule, to be consist ent, they would have to abolish tho office of bishop and other Episcopal features, to be consistent. There is another view of tho case. The women are in tho majority in the chuach. which beiug the case, why shouldn't they run it. Then arises the question, with women at the helm and iu the pulpit, wouldn't the men, wo mean tho average self-reliant element simply desert tiie church and leave it to become a a kind of a female force. Upon the whole we are inclined to think that the Metho dist are facing a rather serious problem. A NEW A.O.C. W. HALL. "Peerless Hall" is the name of the new hall in the old county building, Peerless lodge Xo. 271 A. O. U.

The annual meeting of the Minneha Township Sunday School convention, which met at Seltzer Springs church Sat urday, Xov. 22, was well attended and proved a very interesting meeting. The convention was opened, and thedevotional exercises were conducted, by D. McCor mick. The question, "How to induce scholars to study the lesson at home?" was opened by O G. Smith. The points brought out by Mr. Smith and others who discussed the question, were that the teacher himself should be prepared, and should take an in terest in the lesson and class. Rev. W. I Miller discussed the -subject. "Relation of the Sunday school to the church," which was followed by a lively discussion on the part of the members which brought out the points that the Sunday school is the nursery of the church the training place for other church work, and where the work of the church is nurtured aud cared for. The height of interest was reached over the next subject "Sunday school music," opened bv S X. Bridgeman, and discussed by everybody. In opening, Mr. Bridge man called attention to the fact that many persons, especially the young, are often attracted to the Sunday school by the mu-s c. and he urged that special attention be paid to this part of Sunday school work. He said that the voice fur nished the best music for the Sunday school, and should be cultivated, especially m the young. He also recommended the use of the violin, cornet or other musical instruments in connection with the organ, which was ob jected to by some, and in tho discussion which followed it was shown that those who objected were decidedly in the minor ity. It was nearly 1 o'clock when the conven tion was dismissed for dinner, which was eujoyed quite ns well as the program, which had just closed. At 2 o'clock they were called to order by the conductor, D. McCormick, and after devotional exercises tho question, "Why are so many out of tho Sunday school?' was bpened by W. L Apling, and in the discussion w'hich followed were given many reasons, the leading ones Iwing a lack of interest ou the part of Sunday school workers, because parents did not take interest enough iu themselves to go, and because of other places being more at tractive. After this Rev. J. C. Sefton handled the subject, "How to study the Bible," in a manner which pleased every body. This was followed by a question box in chnrgc of W. L. DeGroff. A large number of questions were asked Mr. De Groff. which were well answered by him Af a late hour the convention adjourned, everybody agreeing that it was a success in all that the word implies. X.
