MEETINGS AND MATRIMONY,

To the Editor Of the Daily Edgle
Here's Sabbath days experience in the
heaven favored land of Sedgwick. Driving
over our beautiful roads to Liberty church,
Illinois township, and preaching to a large
intelligent audience at | a. M, we returned
to the residence of our highly respected
friend and neighbor, j. f. Norris, where we
celebrated the rites of matrimony for A. J.
Russell and the accomplished young lady,
Miss Ella Daggett, whose appearance in her
rich bridal dress was almost perfection. AZ
ter satisfying in full our appetite with the
delicious wedding feast, and being charmed
by sweet music from Prof Reed with the
violin and the bride at the piano. we then
went to the Congregational church, where a
very interesting revival meeting is being
carried on by the Rev. Hull and Others. We
listened TO n sermon by Rev. John Sellers,
of England. We were forcibly impressed
with the words of the prophet. THE wilder
ness and the solitary place shall be glad for
them and the desert shall rejoice and bios
som as the rose But few years ago wild
beasts and savages roamed this country, rep
resented on our old maps rs part of the
great American desert, but now bv the now

an earthly canaan for pleasant homes for the
people of the saints of the most high God

JOHN KELLEY.

The dudes and mugwumps who imagine
that they are going to defeat the Republican
party in SedgNick county this fall so far at
least as to cleo; Ed Dorsey, affect TO sheer at
John Kelly as candidate for the state SEN
ate. They say he is only farmer and what
does he know about legislation. Wei we
know that he is farmer. "only farmer" if
they like that better but we assert from
what we know of the man that as Il practical
legislator, as a man who understands the
needs of a county Ike Sedgwick, he is worth
more to the people in the senate than Dor
sey could possibly be. Dorscy's public life
has been confined principally to the court
house in Wichita, while Kelly has not only
had large experience in Legislation. but be-
ing farmer his knowledge Of what will and
will not be for the benefit ofthe state isprac-
teal. Ed Dorscys nomination was a
scheme and Il job-nobody denies thai--a
trade with the democrats who nominated
him for some reason which has not vet come
to the surface. No good Republican need
hesitate a moment aS between Kelly and
Dorsey.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

The Beacon. whose mental luminosity is
visible all over the universe including West
Wichita and the Cowskin, talks about the
Republican party in Scdcwicl, county not en-
forcing the prohibition law. \ fine old time
the Republican party, or anybody else, would
have enforcing a law where the Democrats
own both the prosecuting attorney and the
sheriff. If the Beacon wants the law en-
forced why don't it 60 to these officers
whom il and its party elected. Would the
Beacon have the Republican party usurp
the powers of his officers, or does he expect
the judge TO become the the informant ANA
the prosecutor,to his own COURT Ofal the
the complaints ever made. Of all the weak
arguments ever presented this charge that
the Republican party Is responsible for the
non-enforccment of law in Sedgwick county
is the thinest and the weakest. The Repub-
iican party has about as much influence
with Dave Dale and John Fisher as a dog
barking a: the moon. This new dodge of
holding the Republican party responsible
for the delinqueucieS Of Democratic officers,
is the kind Of mental pabuum from which
spring the gibberings of an insane asylum.

HARD UP AGAIN.

Poor PAYNE is hard up again, it would
seem from circular which reached us yes
terday and which we copy in full below.
The old dodge of selling certificates of MEM
bership and rights in the Territory failing to
catch suckers any longer, the following new
five dollar scheme has been resorted to:
OFFICE PAYSE's OKLAHOMA COLONY,
HuNSEwELI, KAs.
DEAR SIR:-At meeting of the colony
at South Haven, September 20, it was re-
solved TO employ eminent legal counsel to
defend our members who were kidnapped
by an armed mob on the eth Of last August,
whose trial is set for an early day; also to
procure the kidnappers; and further, to at
tend to all legal business the colony will
necessarily have. To defray this expense a
tax was levied upon each member of So,
payable 81 monthly, until sufficient funds
were received therefor.
Your prompt remittance is urged as our
colony's interest demand this instant action.
A. c. McCoRD, Secretary.
L. 5. If successful the colony will move
TO the Territory November 20 proximo.
Hope to see you at that date. A. c. NJ.
Mr.. Payne has annoyed the government
not little, and for long time it was hard
TO tell whether the law backed by the inter-
Tor department or Dave Payne was the big
gest, but the whole matter has been deter
mined by the attorney general of the United
States so far as to the rights of the govern
ment are concerned, and Mr.. Payne will be
given chance now very soon to get just
what he has so long pretended to want-a
trial before regular constituted authorities.
The trial will cover not only every action Of
those of whom he has complained but every
action Of his in the Territory and in connec-
ton with his attempts to settle it.

COUNTY TICKET
THE COUNTY TICKET.

From every part Of Sedgwick county
comes endorsement Of the Republican eoun-
ty ticket. There is no comparison between
the tickets. when il CONES TO their personal
makeup. If politics were left entirely out
of the question and the fitness of the men for
the places for which they have been named
only taken into the consideration, nine men
out of ten vii! concedc that for doing the
business, discharging the duties of the re-
spective places, the Republican nominees are
the most fit. There can be no question
about it. Nearly everybody too, under
stands that the Democrats got up the ticket
that they did for trading purposes They
knew they couldn't elect a solid ticket SO
they nominated a mixed crowd 10 trade
upon. The trades will al be made in favor
of one or two nominee. But many Repub
licans have said to US and the position Is II
true one, ''that this Is year when Republic
cans ought 10 vote Republican tickets be-
cause they are Republicans. 1.-THE Republic
can nominees We're even no better fitted for
the places than the Democratic nominees, a
Republican ought not 10 hesitate where TO
cast his ballot. This is year when true
Republicans will vote their ticket without
scratch. The only hope The Democrats have
in electing Kirk or Dorsey or Mckee, is
through scratching. lfthey can't persuade
Republicans to scratch or vote mixed tickets
they have no hope The Democrats are half
wild to elect man or two who viii go up
TO the legislature and vote against ingalls,. a
man who never rises his place in the United
States Senate but what he sets everyone
within hearing to talking about Kansas.

CONWAY SPRINGS.
The New Railroad Point i'm Sumner
County.

OOuf1ty.
To the Editor of the Daily Eagle.
\, the iron horse is so soon to connect
the celebrated springs, and this new Eldora-
do with your beautiful city, thought a few
lines in regard to the past and present of
this place would not be uninteresting to
your numerous readers:
Mr.. III. NJ. Cranmer Of Pennsylvania, loca-
ted the west one hundred and sixty acres of
the town in 1877, about the same time No
ali Shelhamer of Michigan, located farm
the east one hundred and sixty acres. They
improved their farms, experiencing all the
hardships and privations incident to the first
settlers of Kansas.
In October, 1883, the Fort Scott and
Wichita railroad was surveyed, and not till
October 1884, was the grading completed.
In this place, with the prospect of the cars
running through about November lst In
September 1884, the east eighty acres of Mr..
Cranmers and the west eighty acres of Mr..
Shelhomer's were surveyed, and the name
changed from Mortified to Conway Springs
The name of the township being Conway.
The springs were discovered in October 1881
hv Mr.. Cranmer, who was afflicted with rhu-
matism, and severe affection of his kidneys.
while breaking the forty acres near this
spring, he found the water in a crcvice boil
ing up, and being very cold and clear, his
boy furnished him drinking water, which.
after using it for several Days, he began to
Improve, and to his surprise and delight,
when his forty acres was finished, he found
his lameness was almost cured, and his gen.
eral health extraordinary, and since that
time, by the use of tho water, he has become
a healthy, robust man, and now, at sixty
five wears old, is doing what he can to ex-
tend the benefits of these springs to others.
After the railroad was located, Mr.. \. F.
Neiderlander, of your city, purchased the
east leo acres of Mr.. Shelhammer and, with
Mr.. CLanmer, gave an interest of the 100
acres as above, which has been SURVEYED.
and now, after two weeks, since the first

KANSAS is REPUBLICAN,,

In the approaching election Kansas will
show the country that she is not rushing of
on side issues. and that she utterly repudi-
ates the national candidate who has been
put forward as her representative.
Ohio has shown thyt she will not show
any encouragement 10 these third party
cranks and assistant Democrats. and il Is
probable that other states will do os well.
The issue of the campaign is clearly de-
fined. The Republican party is II unit in
the defense of American Interests and
american honor, and in proof of our words
Kansas viii roll up big majority for
Blaine and Logan, ii matters not what bar
COINS are entered into and schemes laid bv

which others may well pattern.-Leaven-

A Reu,-..4sle Care.

The followi pg is taken from an interview
by the Topeka Commonwealth OF October
9Th, 1888: "When W. Edison, OF the firm Of
Beck Edison. Of Topeka, was sixteen years
old be had the measles very bad. They left
him with the sight Of his right eye so seri-
ously affected that he has not been able to
see out Of that organ until about seven

OCCIDENTAL HOTEL
OFFICE IN ROOM - AND PARLoR

Professor Samuels offers to those that are
suffering from weakness and defective sight
his improved crystxl-glass spectacles, su.
perior to any other In use. They are con-
structed in accordance with the philosophy
of nature, adapted to the organs Of sight
and perfectly natural to the eye. The ad-
vantages Of these specifies are
First-That they can be worn with per-
feet ease for any length Of time at one sit
ting, giving astonishing clearness of vision
by candle or other artificial light, and com
fort to the spectacle wearer hitherto I'M
known.
Second-It requires professional guidance
even when good article Is offered. Prof.
Samuels not only has the best glasses that
can be found, but carefully examines the
eyes of the patient and gives indispensable
advice as to the proper selection Of them.
Third-these glasses are scientifically al.
justed to every case Of defective sight with
unerring accuracy, whether arising from
age or strain, or premature decay, by Prof
Samuels, on a new and exact principle en-
tirely his own.
Prof. Samuels, to signalize himself from
the host OF pretenders in his profession will
submit for Inspection copies Of testimonials
OF the most unquestiohable respectability
and talent Of America, also q number OF
letters from well known people who have
used his glasses.
The use Of any of the following names or
certificates without an actual possession OF
the same would be forgery, an offense pun
ishable by imprisonment in the states pris-
on.
