COUNTY COMMISSIONER

number of business men, especially prop.
erty holders and others interested in the
present and future of Wichita, without re.
gard to party, have been urging j. NJ. Steele
TO again run for commissioner, assuring him
OF his election. A number Of gentlemen On
Monday, two of them from outside the city.
waited upon him and insisted that he should
consent to the use of his name. We don't
know what his answer was. but one gentle
man told Us that Mr.. Steele--whose business
is growing into fine shape again-was not
seeking the extra trouble and responsibility
of position whose perplexities he was fully
advised, and that in any event he was Re-
publican and sailed under no other flag, and
that il he took the office it must be ut the
hands of the regular Republican nominating
convention. However that may be, no man
in our midst better understands the business
aud needs OF our county, no man could or
would labor harder or more conscientiously
for the interest of the taxpayer. while no
man the Republican party could nominate in
THIS district would be more surely elected
And IN addition, no man could be put on our
county ticket this fall that would add more
to its strength. His nomination by the dis
trict convention means his election without
opposition, for we do not believe the Demo.
Gratis, independents or Greenbackers would
dare or care TO put up man against him.
While the pay of a resident commissioner
amounts to nothing, and while the RESPONSE
biiity is as great as that of any other officer
within the county, still We hope John NJ.
may lay aside these unpleasant considera-
lions, take of his coat, and help us through
with the battle OF November.

TIE CHRISTIAN OF DISCIPLES CHURCH.

To tie Editor Of TIE Edgte.
II is probably not generally known that
the members of the above named church, in
Wichita, design building 4 house OF wor-
ship this fall. Such we learn is the ease,
Some months since a movement was inau-
gurated by the ladies of that society to raise
funds Tor building house. They have been
quietly soliciting funds from members Of
their church elsewhere, with considerable
success, as quite sum Of money has been
realized from that source. There has as vet
been no effort made to raise contributions
this movement desire to see it placed on a
firm basis before calling upon our citizens
for aid. So soon as their success is assured
they expect to make an appeal to the citizens
of Wichita Tor material aid, and the well
known liberality of our people gives them
assurance that reasonable appeal will be
promptly responded to.
We further understand il is the intention
of this society, if they secure sufficient en-
enlargement from our citizens, to erect q
hundred dollars. Every public building
erected in our city adds to the value of all
the real estate in the city; hence it is to the
interest Of each property holder to encour-
age all such enterprises as this one, and We
hope at the proper time our citizens will re-
spond with their accustomed liberality to the
appeal Of this society for aid. A.

SOMETHING NEW.

Since before Homer sang or Romulus piow-
ed,away back in the dim ages of antiquity, ere
Serostris laid stone, or history had record
ed single deed, bread has been the staff of
civilized life, and, all alike, have the unnum-
bered generations ground their grains be-
tween two stones. But the mission of this
century. these latter days, seems to be to
overthrow. Theories, arts and religions
have been replaced by the new, and each
succeeding year is crowded with multitude
OF wonders. Between systems of eyenly-set
and fnely-polisbed porcelain rollers wheat is
now being reduced TO -four. The result is,
instead Of an impalpable dust the grain is
simply crushed, and the -four, under micro
scope, consists OF heaps of white, sharp
cornered, esen-sized particles, as white as
snow and light a. elder down. The Hydraul-
ic Mills of this city has put in set of these
porcelain rollers, and Col. Lewis left at our
home q sack of the flour. The success of
the new process is unquestioned, as any one
who eats the bread will quickly decide. The
-four will be put on sale immediately, and all
can test for themselves.

REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTIONS AND TIE MEN

The calls for the district conventions for
Sedgyick county have been made, that for
this district, this week. by Col Woodcock.
the chairman, which will be found elsewhere.
Several gentlemen's names have been men,
toned in connection with this honor. but
there has been hesitancy upon the part of
all. Probably the strongest pressure has
been brought to bear upon DIR. L. b. Allen,
who smiles little faulty ms he shrugs his
shoulders for a response. DR.. Allen has had
but little to do with politics of late further
than TO take an active part at the polls, but
the places he has filled in the past were filed
with honor to himself and party. No breath
OF suspicion has ever touched his life as
man, as Republican, or as an official, and
we but voice the opinion OF all the Republi
cans of this district. who know him best,
when We say as the Republican nominee for
representative he would secure the undivided
and most hearty support of the entire party.
W bile he Is not an extremist, everybody
knows that Doc Allen is sound as dollar
and would never he found hesitating when
he knew the desires of his people. He would
not only vote for the re election of Senator
flumD, but support him with enthusiasm.
And right here we take occasion to remark
that the blow that The Democracy will carry
THIS district this fall is all blow, and nothing
else, and DR.. Allen, or any other honorabiy
and squarely nominated Republican, need
have the least uneasiness on that score.
While in this district the trouble has been to
ana candidate. on the west side the only
trouble will be the choosing between half
lozen good men.

The Old Fair opened up under the most
favorable auspices. The entries of fine stock
being the best that has ever been exhibited
on these grounds. Randolph Il Randolph, OF
Emporia, show a magnificent herd of Berk-
shire and Poland Chinas, being the largest
and finest display by one exhibitor ever
shown in the state. They have stock for sale
which will be an inducement for farmers
who are not already supplied with fine
breeders, to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to stock up.
Col. Stewart also exhibits a small but very
select herd of Poland Chinas, ''Tom Duff
Held his $50 boar pig, and BLACK Jack"
being at the head.
c. A. Betz, OF Harvey county, enters u
splendid heard of Short Horns, and W. f.
Campbell, of Sumner county, his grand herd
of Herefords. There is fair display of
sheep and poultry, and the Wichita Carriage
Factory have fine turn out of carriages of
home manufacture, which is very creditable.
The main features of the fair, like its pre-
decessors will be fine stock and racing.
More and better horses have been entered
for the races than ever before. Tuesdays
running race, in which the Hoover horse
won in three straight heats, is characterized
as one of the closest and best contested races
that has ever come of on this track.
The races for the week unless interfered
with by rain will be well worth seeing. The
programme for Thursday is as follows:

SUCH aIRYuIrY.

Now everybody knows that Capt. White
personally and privately sympathizes with
the temperance people, but he thinks his du-
ty to his party and perhaps 10 his city print
ing, compels him to urge party unity. In
face Of the fact that nine out ten were for
the majority resolutions which only made
the square issue, but upon which Martin
would not stand, and which, after The noni-
nation of Click, they could not recall, Capt.
White has TO suppress bis own honest con-
victions and call upon the boys to stand by
the rickety old machine. As city printer he
is not only expected to do this humiliating
thing, but Click is 10 be sent for to whip in
the honest temperance and progressive men
who declare they are going 10 vote for st.
John and temperance and sobrety. Cap.
swallows the whole hog, monopoly, Click,
the platform OF mush and slush. and all.
Every honest man must be Clicked for the
sake of a stultihed party and a little city
printing. Oh. my couutrymen, what as
serviity.

New York Store.

As each succeeding year rolls around and
the country increases in population and
wealth the New York Store of NJ. Kohn &
Co. endeavors to increase their stock so as to
keep fully up to or a little ahead of the de.
mands of its increasing trade. During the
| last year this establishment has become a
branch house Of firm that now buys and
sells over one million dollars worth of goods
annually which necessitates the establishing
of a resident New York buyer who is con-
stantly in the eastern market selecting. buy
ing and shipping goods. and they do not'cop-
fine their purchases alone to eastern markets
but import great deal of their goods from
first hands in unbrOken bales and eases. This
being the case, they necessarily buy cheaper
than those who do 4 smaller business and OF
course they can and do sell cheaper the same
class or brands CT goods. Mr.. Henderson.
who has charge of the New York Store, see
ing that the trade this fall owing to the good
crops and prosperous times among the farm
ers, would largely exceed that of any preyi-
Gus fall advised that the stock be increased
at least double to meet the trade. This adj.
vice was taken and the New York Store To.
day boasts double the amount OF goods ever
before on sale at one time, and what is more
interesting, cheaper than ever before. 1t is
impossible to undertake to enumerate. Suf
flee it to say the goods are here and must and
will be sold. They now occupy both floors
with their mammoth stock which are full
from floor to ceiling. Their upper room was
filled with goods by hosting from the side
walk. Among the lot was sixty five rolls of
new carpet, enough to furnish half the rooms
in the county, of new and elegant designs, of
which they will make a specially. In brief
the New York Store has the goods, from the
plain, solid and substantial wear, to the most |
costly fabrics. to suit all classes of trade, not
forgetting an elegant stock of gents clothing |
with an endless variety OF notions, gloves. |
hosiery and novelties, which they are selling |
at ruinous rates Go and see their mammoth |
stock and prices before making purchases.
N.B.-Conntry merchants will consult their
interests by examining their stock and prices
when they come 10 the city.
