and a reporter As they chatting over their

their way into the Office of the hotel where rough
and-tgmble fight took place. The place was IN an
uproar and Arthur was pounding his aSsailant Wig
oTousy when the police were called in by the man
agement and the conhatants were marched on 70

assailant gave his name az Eric Bailey, esq, and
his address as thc Victoria Hotel. Half an hour
afterWaTd the two were taken before justice Muf-
raw in the YOrkvile Police Court but MS neither
would make charge against the other they were
discharged.

profession as are also the facts which led to MIR.

HARD UP AGAIN.

Poor Payne is hard up again, it would
seem from n 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 PAYNE's OKLAHOMA COLONY, /
EuNSEwELL, KAs.
DEAR SIR:-At Il 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 It'll 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 rs our
eoiony's interest demand this instant action.
A. c. McCoRD, Secretary.
p. s. IL 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 n 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 a 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.

DISTRICT COURT.

Court convened yesterday at the usual
hour. Nearly all the attorneys in the city
were preset The sheriff brought in six
State prisoners who had been found guilty
during the present term. Stanley d Wall
made an argument before the court in the
matter of Tootle, Hanna & Co., against Barr.
The court sustained the attachment.
Sentence was then pronounced upon the
following State criminals: David Carroll,
assault, three months in the county Jail !; j..
c. Stevens. assault with intent to rob, two
wears at hard labor in the State penitentiary
at Leavenworth. T. II. Hetfron, assault;
this is the remnant of man who it was al
legged attempted to steal watch from Il
drunken man near the Santa Fe depot.
The court remarked that he was about the
hardest man he ever had before him, he
gave him six months in jail. The sentence
gave great satisfaction TO the prisoner; he
said the cold weather was just coming on
and the court guaged the turn just right; he
said if the court had said three months, he
would kick
William Bradshaw was the next taken up.
His offense was grand larceny. The court
said that this man claiamed TO be a hostler,
but he was the slickest hostler he had ever
seen. This is the man who
stole a gold watch from Rose
the butcher He got three years in the state
penitentiary, with hard labor.
james Rodes was next called up. Rodes
is the man who stole his fathers horse. The
court said he was entitled 10 sympathy, and
that the old man was probably worse than
son. Ordinarily he would give man sey-
en- wears for such I'm offense, but under the
circumstances he would let him off with two
years in the penitentiary. He hoped he
would make good citizen when he got out
Divorce proceedings were next taken up,
the first being Louisa Flora, divorce grant
ed. Divorces were ais granted in the fol-
lowing cases: Maggie Rodgers VS. Frank
Rodgers: Frank Ratsel VS. Mollie Ratsel.

TO coLoRED MEN.

A printed circular has been put into the
hands Of every colored man in Wichita
headed "Some reasons why colored men
should vote for re-submission," which goes
on to say that prohibition makes the col
ored man poorer and poorer every year and
that to vote for prohibtion-th Republican
party, We suppose-is to vote their children
into rags and themselves into forced idle
ness. The circular winds up by advising
the colored men to vote for Click, for Ed
Dorsey, VIM. Greiffcnstein and Howard
Soule.
The circular contains column Of such
trash, and can be seen at this office. 1t is
signed by heaven only knows who, but some
dozen names. All the votes the Democrats
will get from the colored men with such q
fool dodge as the one before us they can
stick in their eye. The colored men Of
Wichita have lived too long::in the North to
be fooled by any such brld nonsense. ANY
man who would be influenced by such con-
glomerate statement would be fit subject
for the insane asylum. The colored men OF
Wichita, as whole, are intelligent and will
stand by their party and principles.

/, HON. JOE WATERS.

Hon. Joseph G. Waters, as a resubmis-
sionist, addressed number of people in this
city yesterday afternoon. Joe has very
warm soul but terrible cranky head; Joe
has loyal heart but brain as cratic as the
flight of a bat; Joe's sentiments and impulses
are all right but his Judgment, oh dear, his
judgment. The Hon. Joseph G. Waters
was an advocate of prohibition only brief
season or two since when he said and wrote
some wonderful things. We did not, per-
sonally, hear his speech yeste: day, but we
wonder if he downed all the truth ard senti-
ment of these lines of poetry which he him
self wrote and published only a few months
ago. We leave the decision to those who
heard him yesterday.
Uplift the flag, and dress the line,
The battle has begun!
Send down the ranks the countersign,
These few short words, "Here's death to
winen'
And fire the op'ning gum
We hear the distant bugle call,
And Forward is the cry!
And, like n moving mountain wall,
We march against King Alcohol,
Whose vanguard we espy.
Heed not the belching lannon's roar,
The binding smoke and dun;
With shot and shell our volleys pour,
Till wine with women's tears no more
Shall shade the MONDAY sun.
March on, and let the charge be made;
We know where turks the foe;
Let arms be strong that WELD the blade,
Guard well against the ambuscade,
And heaven shall guide the blow.
The shout of men and tramp of feet,
And roll of rafting drums,
The battle swift and then to greet
Our flag that down the dusty street,
In triumph waving comes.

DERBY DELINEATOR.
70 tie Editor of the Daily Eagle:

To tie Editor of the Daily Eagle:
They came TO the pits and found no wa
ter; they returned with them empty; they
were ashamed and COMPOUNDED, and covered
their heads" moaned the Democrats after
their speakers were through speaking o
week ago.
..Oh, clap your hands, all We people; shout
unto God with the voice of triumph" sang
the Republicans last night after their meet
ing. 1t was grand success from the open
ing remarks by Chairman Mccoy 10 the
closing words of the last speaker.
The first speaker was Judge Jewett, who
gave a plain, practical presentation Of the is
sues between the parties. The Judges ur-
banity and oordiality are evidently part of
his nature, and not put on during the cam
paign. Jewett was followed by Hutchinson,
a southern man Of most pronounced Repub-
licanism, who told us what he had seen and
heard, in a manner that showed he was in
earnest-every word. be was followed by
X. 4. Lawrence, whose manhood stands out
in all the lineaments of his face His few
remarks were very remarkable for solidity.
He was followed by Stanley, who was up
with a bound, and the first thing was
s.Marching through Georgia." in the chorus
of which the audience joined with zest,
evidently liking the song and its sentiment.
After the song he gave us ringing speech
that stirred up the enthusiasm ofyoung and
old. j need not tell you it was eloquent,
Stanley is always that. His opinion of the
temperance question is the right one be-
yond all cavil, and his remarks appealed to
every parents affection. He was frequently
interrupted bp loud applause. With STAN
ley's speech the meeting was closed. A
vote of thanks was given the speakers and
the Nulvane drum corps.

Judge Jewett was SO 0bsented-minded

..Oh. world. so few the years we live.
Would that the life which thou dost give
Were life indeed
Alas. thy sorrows fall so fast,
Our happiest hour is when at last
The soul is freed"
And now a mother LAYS down her life.
Mrs. Dowdle, the wife of W. Z. Dowdle,
who has charge of the city circulation of
this paper. died suddenly yesterday morn
ing at half past one o'clock. 1t seems that
she was rising from her bed when her hus-
band heard her suddenly fall. He sprang to
her assistance but she never breathed again.
Who can describe the terror of such an al
Fiction or paint the sorrow, the woe, of that
home. The tender, anxious husband, the
two little, now motherless, children, each
bereft, in one swift moment, of the dearest
of all lfe's gifts. For months the wife and
mother has been delicate invalid, victim
of rheumatism, but for several weeks past
had been partially relieved from its pains,
and the anxious husband had begun to hope
that all danger was past when, with the
swiftness of bolt from heaven, the dear one
was bereft of her life.
Cleora Alice Dowdle, (Burkett) was mar
ried to W. f. Dowdle in Leayenworth seven
years ago. She was twenty-five years of age
at the time of her death. They had two
children, girl and a boy, six and four years
of age, respectively. The immediate cause
of her death was a voluntar affection of the
heart caused by rheumatic trouble.
The funeral will be at half past two o'clock
this afternoon from Mr. Dowdles home on
Fourth avenue near the Catholic parsonage,
DIR. Phillips officiating.
We have no words which can have the eff
feet to tighten our friends sorrow, only he
must remember that the patient loving suff-
erer is at rest.
''There is a heaven:
This shred of life cannot be all the web
Nature hath wrought to govern divine spirits;
There is heaven because there's misery.
The divine power ever blest and good,
Made not the world for an ill-natured jest,
To sport himself in pains of those he made"
But heaven for US and our loved ones.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The boys who are conducting the Repub-
liean county canvass are getting warmed up
to their work, and the fur has commenced to
fly. The men who squirm most are the po-
iitical Benedict Arnolds who have gone over
to the enemy in the face of the present mighty
contest wherein hundreds of thousands of
loyal men are trembling for the future Of
this great republic, trembling because of
the fear that there might be enough untrue
or thoughtless men found in the north to
turn over this government and all that has
been accomplished into the hands of the
southern politicians''who control the Demo-
cratic party and who will not let go their
former ambitious dreams of power. There is
arrayed against us the solid south, but that
soidity, while it is menscing is not to be
feared. 1t is their allies of the north, and
more especially the disappointed politicians,
who in hopes of regaining power have
gone over to the enemy, trying TO take
with them their friends. We have the same
thing in Sedgwick county. Spot every de-
serter, however warm a personal friend he
may be, refuse to vote for him SO long as he
trains with the enemy.

STANLEY AWAY FROM HOME.

The closing speech of this meeting was
made by Mr.. Stanley, and 10 say that the
vast audience was pleased with it would be
tame expression of the manner in which il
was received, they were delighted, entranc-
ed: and they were justified in their express
sions Of approval, for il was an able speech,
and his .'word pictures" were the work of
an artist.-Augusta Gazette.
Next came another song from the glee
club, at the conclusion Of which the presi-
dent introduced TO the audience Mr.. Stan
ley, of Wichita. Mr.. s. is young in years,
but old in the political history Of the state
and nation. For nearly an hour be held the
vast throng of people, uncomfortable as the
position of many of them must have been,
spellbound, and, with the exception Of out
bursts Of applause, perfect order prevailed
Augusta Electric Light.
W. T. Stanley, of Wichita, besides being
stalwart Republican, frst-class lawyer
and courteous gentleman, is a political
speaker second to but few men in Kansas;
and we have heard them all. Positive in his
convictions, forcible in speech, graceful in
delivery and brim full of anecdotes, he cap
tivated our people at Douglas and Augusta
last Saturday. The old stagers congratu-
lated him, the young Republicans grew en-
thusiastic, while the ladies were protuse IN
praise Of his vivaciousness and congeniality.
We all love Stanley and hope he loves u.s.

LOOK OUT FOR THE FRAUD.

The Beacon announces that the Demo-
cratic county central committee will have
printed the regular Republican ticket
with ample margin and spaces for scratch
ing, and also a ticket with the Republican
electors but followed by the mugwump
ticket, another followed by the resubmission
ticket and so on. To let itself down easy on
this barefaced swindle it goes off in a long
TRADE about some ticket which it
says has been prepared by the Repub-
licans which can't be scratched or
tempered with The idea that Repub-
lican ticket should be so gotten up that n
Democrat couldn't scratch it so as to mis-
lead the unwary makes the Beacon and its
hackers sick, and il more than howls. The
average Republican is not afraid or ashamed
of his ticket. The average Republican is no
sneak. The average Republicans don't care
how the Democrats fix their tickets; the az
erage Republican don't want a ticket he can
scratch, much less Democratic ticket. The
average Republican will think that the Bea-
con, in proposing to print the straight Re-
publican ticket for fear some one will
be bulldozed, that it has made a stra: ght
average ass of itself. 1t is our
straight and average opinion that any pre-
tended straight Republican ticket ordered
by the Democrats of Sedgwick county will
prove straight internal fraud, it wouldn't
be anything else. In all our life We never
heard of such bare-faced swindle as is pro-
posed to be carried out by the Reacon, in
printing Democratic and re-submission tick
cts for county, district and state elections
under the head of Blaine and Logan elect
ors. The cheek of this thing is simply mon
umental,
