INTO LINE.

The Wichita Democrats are squirming.
We would like 70 know what they can say
agains, such man as Rutan! But scared
amt word fori Appeals are being made
~ old-time Republicans to help cut the
Democratic boom. Some Of the men who
erawled ,out of the Republican party last
fall are particularly solicitous that the Re-
publican ticket shall be beaten this spring
il Wichita. Whisky is TO be their war cry.
Republicans are told that the name 'Peo-
pies Ticket" viii shield all who desire TO go
back on their party in order to help the
Democrats hold their rule. When asked
how and where the question of whisky cuts
any figure in the campaign, they can't give
an answer that q 5-year old boy would liz
ten to. But its whisky and prohibition,
prohibition and whisky. When asked why
any Republican should lend himself to
the thin Democratic disguise Of Peoples
Ticket" they are dumb. In the meantime
Republicans are getting into line. Any man
who has been honored or trusted BY the
party in the past or who hold,
splace nj the hands of the Republicans now,
who is found lending himself to the Demo-
Gratis, will hear something drop some time.
Close up, boys, solidly, boldly and deter
inincdly, and let's sec who these deserter,
are which the Democrats are Dragging SO
blatiantly are going to help them.

A MODEL WIND MILL.

Mr.. T. L. Myers, in north Wichita, close
to the old fair grounds, has in operation
marvellous wind machine
Mr.. H. @. Milligan, who has the exclusive
sale of the machine in Sedgwick and adjoin-
ing counties, took the pains to give US an in
side view of the workings of the new crea-
ture. which seemed to be inspired 10 per-
form the specific work it was to do, while
every part was running in perfect order and
without the slightest friction and entirely
noiseless.
The beauty and elegance of the machine
attracted our attention to such degree that
we made inquiry us to the constitution of
the mill, and while it worked so smoothly
and easily.
The first thing we learned was that there
are but two points of friction-the main
shaft on which the wheel is fastened which
operates the mschiners, and the crank which
runs the pitman up and to accomplish the
pumping, move in babbit-lined bosses,
The wheel is made solid and is the strong
est wheel now made. These give more
power and have the greatest wind surface
Of any wheel in existence.
The governing principle is characteristics
of this mill alone, and is as simple as it is
grand. The table on which the mill turns
is less than four inches in diameter, which
enables it TO accommodate itself to the wind
more easily than other mills. 1t is con-
structed SO simply that any one with COM
mon perception can see at once the princi-
Pile that governs it all through. The mill is
known as the 81. X. L. Wind Mill" and is
what the name indicates.
We are informed further that the mills
are put Up in good working order, and
the purchaser till the mill and ts workings
are satisfactory, and then the terms are
made liberal enough that any farmer can
afford to have one.
Our farmers who have seen the benefits of
an ordinary windmill would do well to call
on Mr.. Milligan in Wichita at McMillsns
exchange stables, and learn in detail the
merits of one Of the best, if not the best mill
now before the public. We are quite sure
nothing can be lost by giving the mill a fair
trial on the very liberal terms proposed by
Mr.. Milligsn. We have not the space to
give in detail the advantages of the 81. Y. L"
mill, but VIZ give our readers sufficient to
have them know the fact that the best is the
cheapest and a little investigation will con-
vince the most credulous.
The mill is manufactured by the Phelps &
Bigelow Windmill company, Kalamazoo,
Mich

THE OTHER SIDE.


Al Tarter. the young man who was
charged with going crooked on team Of
horses, and who was arrested and dis
charged without trial, was seen by an EA-
gle reporter yesterday. His story is quite
different from the other fellows story and
points strongly to the conclusion that he
was guilty Of no oifense in that conn ection.
he saws that he and the other fellow had
been partners in horse trading and the other
fellow got sick at Arkansas City; that ne
-tarted home with the team, the horse he
old being bis own. When he left he told
MS partner tina, if he could sell his horse
IN the way home he would do so and would
write and let him know where he left his
horse. This be claims he did and he says
he harness was partnership affair, as wss
,lso the wagon. The fact that he stays
lght here lends credit to his version of the
tiair. He has paid his bills and he says
col. uartzell knew him long ago.

TIE LITTLE Pop .


10 10 lne EusOl VI the z bgic.
This ''little pop question is one that de-
mands of the writer a serious ccnsderatiop.
II Is also dangerous question to tackle
when "didn't know it was loaded" The
average small boy knows what 'little
d ,p- il. and most men know the real, &, nu-
in. merits of this article. 1t is always
good whenever It turns up--good TO cause
weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth
throughout the land. Down with the ''lltt e
pop"
This way of carrying "little pop in the
caboose of the pantaloons, by small boys rs
well as great many men, as a convenient
article or to SHOW off," is nm abomnstion
in the eyes Of all law abiding citizens and
good people generally. The dsv is past in
this part of the country for the low, gentle
murmur of the "little pop" to be heard in
the land. 1t is now buried under the long
Observation-Disclosures of the past. This
is progressive age.
This lovely little city of Wichita has re-
Gently been great sufferer, mainly through
the carrying of pistols, or "little pops" or
"buli dogs" or swamp angels in the ca
boose Of the overalls by great many Of it,
populace. 1t is sad TO contemplate. There.
is no more need of carrying q
revolver in the city Of Wichita
than there is Of carrying an upright piano
in the coat-tail pocket. Again We say, down
with the little pop" When a man carrie
a gun, he does SO because he has done or
said something for which he expects to b,
attacked, so it is safe to say that when
man goes about our peaceful streets loaded,
he has been doing some little trick or other
and has in advance prepared himself for
Smith & Wesson matinee. Those who carr,
"little pops" generally die by the 'fittle
pop" and ne who agitstes the revolver by
the revolver shall his blood be shed. Once
more We say, down with the "little pop"

OCCUPATION TAX.


An occupation tax is ali right If rightly
distributed, or levied with reason. The ~,
loon is gone, and with it the license money
formerly received By the city. If whisky
drinking had stopped with the disappear
ance of the saloon we could, as municipal
itv, have stood it, but it didn't. Now, il
strikes us it would be a good scheme 70 pass
an ordinance imposing, say an occupation or
license tax on all drug stores of ten dollars
a year on each, that takes out no whisky
permit, and $1,000 or 81 200 wear on each
drug store that takes out whisky permit.
If any of the former saloon men think that
their trade has not been transferred bodily to
certain drug stores let them keep their eye

LIVE STOCK LICENSE.

The question is often asked, why does not
the city levy license upon stock dealers!
And it does seem somewhat queer when it Is
known that revenue to the city could thus
be collected to the amount of $4,000 year.
and that instead of the dealers Directing to
such law, they stand ready and willing 10
pay it, provided that it protects them in
certain particulars. There are some Invent,
stock dealers, more particularly horse
and mule men in the city, who wouls
not only be satisfied. but glad "a
pay into the city treasury 500 piece, pro-
vided that they could be protected from the
jockeys and Gypsies who deal upon the
streets to the detriment and indirect loss OF
the regular dealers. These last are citizens.
property owners, taxpayers and have iarg'
expenses TO meet in their business. Thes'
expenses mus: be met when out of the rcgu-
lar stock season ~ wei as in and when ior
weeks there may not be dollar of income
TO the barn or yards, and it is certainly musi
unfair and grossly unjust that huekster-.
who DO not pay penny in any way TO tn
city, and are not even citizens, shoulc
be allowed to take the creau
Of the business and ba held responsible foI
nothing whatever.
The regular dealers give to their custom
ers guarantee on each head of stock han
died and they are held responsible not onl,
for the animal as represented at the time o
sale, but they obligate themselves to max
the little absolutely good, and thus they
stand fairly and squarely between their Gus
toners and loss Of either or these accounts
The street seller or peddler is almost invar-
iabiy an itenerant, wandering gypsey Of ?
fellow, who is here to-day and
gone tomorrow, who does moi
or could no. give either a It'll
OF a guarantee and make j; good, or even b,
found should the animal be not as represent
ed, which is almost invariably in such case,
the result.
The city council should at once see to i,
that the men who are permanently locate,
here as citizens, and who are in every Wa,
responsible, should have just protection
,gsinst the wandering. migratory and irres-
,,onsible vultures who have SO long reapeo

attorney general has given no opinion upon
the question. Mr.. Geo. Peck says they will
have to pay it. Vance. formerly county at

the committee on temperance, says there is
no question as to the right of the judges to
charge the sum Of FIVE cents for fling each
