KANSAS DEMOCRACY.

TheDemocrats Of Kansas will meet in del
egatc convention today at Leavenworth for
the purpose of nominating state ticket.
The ticket will be nominated, but nothing
more. No one expects that it will be elect
ed. The result will be found in tomorrow
mornings dispatches. Thomas Moonlight,
formerly Republican, will be nominated
for Governor, The action wont hurt him
provided the Democratic central committee
can raise enough from its Democratic post
masters to make Democratic campaign.
This would give Thomas fair wages and
expenses paid until November, which will
be a windfall, no doubt. Here's to the
Democratic party in Kansas, hoping that
its Representatives may not forget in their
platform to denounce the constitution of
their state wherein it says that the old Dem
ocratc drink-whiskey-is no good.

The L. s. W. might have done bet
ter than to locate two towns in our coun
ty. Viola is too near Conway Springs, but
the Santa Fee not particularly noted for a
spirit of magnanimity, Anness is more ia
vorably located, the sight being on high
ground. AS to the future of the new towns,
one can predict little Viola has the Peo-
tone postoffice. and Thos Brumfield Qately
of Clearwater is the leading merchant of
that burg.
Railroad talk has somewhat subsidized,
but down toward the. river, the people are
wondering when the survey for the Davis

be built, etc.

Mr. James Thompson, of st. Louis, has

should complain of the hot weather when
we have such deliciously cool nights. As
Mr.. Thompson has gone back to his st.

to regret that he had not remained longer.

THE REAL EST.

We had just settled down to the convic.-
ton that the Great Southwest consisted
of Sedgwick and the adjoining counties
when we were startled by the information
in the Wellington Press that it consists Of
Sumner and the adjoining counties.-At-
Gibson Champion.
We rise TO remark for the enlightenment
of Governor Martin and his Prentis. of the
Champion that both the EAGLE of Wichita
and the Press Of Wellington are all wrong
They are not in nor OF the Great South
west" at ALL They are only part of the
Great South East. being fully fifty miles
east of the center of the state. though for
wears they were on the southwestern from
tier of the settled and supposable habitable
part of Kansas. But we have changed all
that Now and forever. henceforth, the
..Great Southwest will consist of ''old
Sequoyah and the adjacent counties, about
a dozen of them. Mark the prediction

FICTITIOUS TRANSFERS.

We noted the fact that all the sales in
your county last Friday, according to your
own showing Saturday, amounted to little
over five thousand dollars We also note
the fact that you do not deny our statement
in regard to fictictiOus transfers. 1t is too
well known all over the country that we
told just what has been occurring all the
season at the "windv wonder" In the
language Of the Eureka Republican, ''fess
up" To do SO will be good for your spir-
itual welfare. And your people didn't pay
the register full fees, eh?-Newton Repub-
lican.
All of which for good natured banter
might be well enough if any other town in
this section could show up for the day
mentioned even five thousand dollars. As
for the application of Windy Wonder" to
Wichita, it is neither smart or original but
shows lack of resource as it is euphony
which was first applied by the EAGLE to
another town.
1t is useless, it is simply transparent
foolishness, for the Republican or for any
body to deny that the amount of money in
vested in Wichita real estate the past six
months has been greater in amount than
was ever invested in any city in this state
for any period of twice or four times six
months AS for fictitious transfers the
EAGLE here and now denies, emphatically
and in the absence Of any reservation what
ever, that there has been any crookedness,
any false or fictitious work committed with
either the sales or transfers recorded in this
city and published in these columns, assert
ing, upon the other hand, that all Of the
hundreds of thousands and millions OF
dollars reported as being paid for the
various properties described, were bona fide
transactions IN which the purchase money
as surely and directly changed hands and
ownership as does the subsidiary coin il
circulation at Newton change hands wher

THE WAY IT'S DONE.
ie County Press Democrat.

From the Meade County Press Democrat.
The Wichita EAGLE. in its new form
and dress. is the neatest paper that comes
to this office and is great improvement on
the old form. The EAGLE has made Wich-
tia. and the manner in which the merchants
of that en;erprising city support it shows
that they fully understand and appreciate
that fact. The merchants of a town make
a paper and the paper makes the town.

The Daily Wichita EAGLE came out last
Tuesday week in bran new dress. We
are opposed to the EAGLE politically and
otherwise, but for all that we pronounce it
the best daily paper in the state by odds,
and the push and enterprise of the propri-
etors will keep it ahead of the other daily
papers of the state.

fortunes 10 the end. Then he went
TO Londsn. He had by some means
cot the idea in his rather cratic mind
that he preferred the Catholic TO the
Episcopal Church, and 30 transferred
his allegiance to that church. He even
went so far as TO offer himself for the
priesthood, but as he was q marrled
man there was an insurmountable
barrier TO his priestly ambitions. 1t
is said by those familiar with MS
record that he even proposed to re-
nounce family ties for the sake OF the
church service, but that this PROPOSE
ton did not prove acceptable. He re-
turned from London, and, finding that
he could not become priest, con-
cluded 10 preach Catholic doctrines
through that other medium OF reach
ing the public, the press, and became
editer OF Catholic newspaper pub
lished in Washington. Meantime he
studied law, and when his son,
J. Harris Rogers, invented tele-
phone he became his attorney.
Their frst telephone was called
the "Secret Telephone" and this
they sold to a New York company
for 800 900, ressrving forthemselves an
interest for which they afterward got
$4,000. Then the son invented the
National Telephone, and sold 1t to
come New Orleans parties, and then
he constructed the Pan-Electrlc Tele-
phone, whose history has been told
so often of late. 1t Is alleged that this
one is O soTt OF reconstruction OF the
other two, and will~not stand the test
OF a claim Of infringement OF these
patents, should that question ever be
raised.
Rogers and his whole family are de-
vout Catholics. 1t is related that when
he made his first experiments with the
last mentioned telephone he called in
a priest TO bless a wire which was be-
ing run into his house, over which to
make the experiments, but by some
blunder the priestly blessing was be-
slowed upon what the line builders
call dead wire, ;" emitting altogether
the one which was finally used in the
experiments. He is an cratic old gen.
temen, strong in his likes and disllkee,
enthusiast tic in his devotion to his hob
bies, and withal an intelligent and
we'll read person. He has always had
a weakness for the use OF the pen,
writing prose and poetry and drama
alb libitum, and sometimes ad nau-
seam. He is an enthusiast upon the
subject Of electricity, so much 30 that
he insists upon having all his photo
graphs Of himself made by electric
light, declaring that they are much
better than those made by the light OF
the day.
