CUNNING DODGE.

The prohibition card was played just lit
tie too hard in Ohio. which caused all the pro-
hibition Democrats go to back on their own
ticket and vote for Leonard, and great was
the Democratic defeat. In Kansas the DEM
ocracy think it is the proper dodge yet, and
with that and the silly idea that they can
pull the wool over the eyes of the old Re-
publican soldiers, they have some hopes of
electing John Fisher and letting all their
other candidates go by default.
There is no chance to elect nybody else
on the ticket, is their cry, SO let us throw off
on all the rest and get the sheriff, that is bet
ter than nothing.
They have sprung the prohibition racket
on Mr.. Hays, but that entleman is too well
known in this community to be affected by
that dodge. The old soldier racket is also
well understood, and the whole scheme has
coIlapsad

PEANUTS.

The adaptabiity of the soil of Kansas to
produce great variety of crops, was Illus
trated in fresh way yesterday.
Mr.. w. 5. Adams, of Stafford comfy,
brought in large wagon load Of very fine
peanuts, which he raised on his farm.
Only few years ago the cultivation Of
Guber peas was confined exclusively t. the
south, Georgia being the principle producer.
The load brought into this city yesterday
is evidence that this cereal or frat, or what
ever it may be called. can be successfully
cultivated on Kansas soil, ais, that IT is a
good paying crop
Mr.. Adams said he raised % bushels per
acre, and sold them for 81 bushel. There
is perhaps no other crop grown in the state
that would yield that amount in money per
acre, and it would, we apprehend. be
good idea for farmers to go into the cutiva-
ton of this crop. A ready market cen al
ways be found tor such product, and very
large quantity is used during the year in
this city

Amt SHE A DA!SY7


Cash Henderson button-holed reporter
last evening on the corner of the New York
Store, and pointed up to that angelic doll
in the luxuriously furnished show window
of that store, and said: "Aint she daisy"
Then the reporter, who is connesseur OF
taste on such matters, cast his critical eve
heavenward, resting it upon the most ex-
quisite little images of feminality he has sell
dom ever beheld A full suit Of walking
attire adorned its symmetrical form, and
attired in hat and muF, her ladyship looked
like she was just starting out on a
Douglas avenue glide like any other audess.
Cash Henderson says this little doll is being
competed for by little girls who are taxing
their little heads to study up names that
compose the firm of Kohn & Co., New York
Store. Just then half dozen ladies called
off Cash Henderson to show some of those
SO cent unlaundried shirts of which he has
10000.

COAT THIEF CAUGHT.

About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Rube
Israel espied three young men suspiciously
lettering about the Israel Bros. clothing
house and examining the coats that HING
outside. RUDE didn't pretend to be looking
at them, but kept his weather eye on their
movements all the same. Presently he saw
one OF the lads yank off good coat, with
which he slipped into the adjoining stairway
and slipped it on. Then he walked boldly
out upon the street and stepped off as big as
lord, with the coat on, but Rube followed
after him to see if he did it for fun. He
turned up Lawrence Avenue and began
to accelerate his speed. Mr.. Israel
was then convinced there was
no fun about il so he hurried on and caught
up with the thief, grabbed him by the col
lar and said he wanted him. The fellow
said he W oulG not go with him. Then Rube
said he wanted the coat, but the fellow
showed fight. This was right into Rube's
hand, for he had learned some nice points
in the manly art the night before at the
rink, so he hauled off and actually knocked
the fellow out in one round, Marquis of
Strawberry rules. A colored man came to
his assistance and they held the chap until
Police Officer Tom Mcnamara came along
and took him to the cooler. His two pals
tried TO make believe he was drunk, but it
was no go.
RUDE Israel is now ready to challenge
any man in town.

A LIVELY DAY.

Yesterday was peculiarly q Wichita day,
having all the essential Characteristic liveli-
ness peculiar to booming cities. No one
could doubt the solid basis on which this
city rests after seeing Wichita when she
looms up on busy Saturday. Streets al
most blocked with vehicles of all sorts, from
q sulky up to a six mule team; sidewalks
crowded by harrying mass OF men, women
and children, tells q tale of activity, business
and prosperity that does not belle the firm
ness on which its wealth and industry rests.
A fine picture might be drawn on the con-
dition of the principal business streets Of
the city as Yesterday afternoon when the
day reached its highest standard of interest.
At one place might be seen the mammoth tel
escope pointing heavenward and theprofessor
discussing on sun, moon and stars to dense
crowds of eager listeners who ever and anon
were jostled by the current of an incessant
street travel. As the learned professor
would turn venus or mars on its axis on
bis improvised solar system, and in deep
interest explaining to pair of school
marms the satilite eclipses some rumbl-
ing wagon would be bourn too close to the
combination and the whole miniture uni
verse would for the time be knocked into
a cooked hat, and then came more con-
functions of scenes than are laid dow by
Hirschel. Then came along the horse
breakers and trainers with broncos just
caught wild off the prairies, lead around as
docile as kittens and jostled to and fro in
the interested crowd; then in upon this
scene comes the band of the minstrel COM
bination playing Dixie. knock
ing more Rary system out Of
the broncos than they ever had. In the
midst of all this comes old DIR. Quassia with
his quassia cup, with the only and new
familiar song: "Oh, What has Poor Ire
land Done, Mother; What has Poor Ireland
Dones" Then half dozen soap men to
harangue a crowd of interested listeners
on imagined perfection of their wares; then
the lung testers and maui spring board,
WHICH eOu0e hLulcte Will Ouc UiOW ecuuiuS
the register beam out on the heads of the
bystanders. Then crowd of prize fighters
happen along, with Professor Willie, the
Roman wrestler, and many other odds and
ends OF street adventures and catch-penny
affairs.
While all these street displays
are attracting the idle, business men?
farmers, mechanics and other citizens pur-
sue the even tenor of their way. Every bus
mess house is pressed to its utmost to attend
to its customers. At the New York store
the force is too small to wait on its custo-
mers, and the corner of Douglas and Main
is blocked with people. Besides this dis
trict court is in full blast on an important
railroad case; two magistrates courts and a
police court are grinding along, all unmind-
full of the crowded and busy life in the street.
Indeed, Wichita is wonderful city, won
derful people and wonderful country.

HOW THE THING WORKS.

"Ps, what is an old soldier"
IAN old soldier, my son, is man who
fought in the great war to put down Dem
ocratic rebellion, and risked his lite to save
his country"
"Were all the Dimmickra,s rebels?'
mo, but all the rebels were Democrats. :"
"Why do you ask such questions, my
SOM"
80, because there was a man down on the
corner who sed that the Bekin he'd always
insulted the old soldiers, and called them
paupers, and that it was brain insult to
the soldiers, the way they were trying to
pull the wool over their eyes to get them to
60 back on their friends and vote the Dimmi-
ckrat ticket"
Eyes, my son, that old soldier was right.
1t is an insult, and will be resented. 1t is
an insult for them TO presume to dictate to
these veterans who shouldered gun and
risked their lives four years to save their
country and to establish Republican princi-
piles. Now to ask them to cast their ballots
against those very principles, is a very great
insult to their intelligence and manhood"

BENEVOLENT HOME

Since the last report, death has entered the
Home and taken one of its inmates. Henry
Ciozier, a soldier from Springfield. Ohio,
died Monday morning, October 18th. His
death called to my mind the time l was
nursing in the hospital at Galopolis, Ohio.
Never will forget the sad and heart-rending
scenes while there among the sick, wounded
and dying. The letters written BY me to
friends of the sick that l have never seen,
and, l presume, never will till the day comes
for which all other days were made. One
incident in particular impressed me deeply,
Q young soldier from Indiana. Weknew he
could not live. We telegrapbed for his
mother. She came, but too late, he was dead
and buried. The bed he died on had been
removed when she came, very frail, deli
cate old lady. When she came in and found
him gone, she threw her arms wildly above
her head, saying: "Why, o, why did you let
my boy die and be buried before came"
We, of course, tried to explain. but she
would not hear US. "Give me chair" she
said. A chair was given her; she took it to
the vacant corner saying: Il will sit
here in this spot where my poor boy
was sick and died. He was my all, and /
will sit here till die" She sat there talk
ing and mourning until three O'Clock in the
morning. The physician ordered her to
the hotel and sent her home next morning
My own boy, Alonzo j. Rouse, died there.
He was only sixteen years of age, and had
been enlisted only six weeks in the 9lst
Ohio. We have six patients in. Two are
very sick. Mrs. Lucy Peel is convalescing.
A lady called this morning wanting help.
We have had ten calls for help this week.
