THE DEVILS AUCTION,

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week will be presented at the opera house the
great spectacular drama. The Devils Auc-
tion. This company carries all its own spe-
cial scenery with wonderful mechanical eff
fects, which alone are North the price of ad-
mission to see.
OF the above company the Baltimore Daily
News says: ''The Devils Auction, very
beautiful fairy-spectacular comedy, with a
sort of Arabian Nights plot, was produced
at the Holiday Street theatre last night be-
fore an unusually large attendance. The
production can scarcely be termed a repeti-
ton Of the The Devils Auction seen here last
season, for it has undergone changes that
amount to thorough reconstruction. Every
feature of the performance is marked by a
change, and the alterations constitute an inl-
mense improvement The premiers and bal
let's met with great favor and were simply
grand. The contortionist is very fine, the
acrobats marvellous, and the costumes gor
geous. The spectacular portion Of the Devils
Auction is grand and the BEST on the road.
The play will continue ct the Holiday Street
theatre during the week and the engagement
will undoubtedly be . big success"

Within a few days there will be made pub
lie a railroad scheme of great interest to a
number of towns in southwest Kansas, and
which will cause the eyes OF Wichita's bust
ness men 10 open and their mouths to expand
from ear to ear. The matter seems to be the
result of a conclusion of great trunk line
interest, and one which has not been contem-
plated or thought of, in said interest, by our
people. All roads lead 10 Rome. and ten per
cent. may safely be added to the price of all
inside property. Wichita's goose not only
continues in robust health, but is dropping
her golden eggs with great promptness and
great regularity.

mediately after the adjournment Of the coun-
ty convention. '''a"' 80 '9
| j. w. Coates and J. G. Mccoy were placed
in nominasion and the ballot showed eleven
votes for the former and ten for the latter.
Coates was declared the nominee by Mr..
David Dale, who was chairman. There was
some dissatisfaction, however, among the
delegates.
1t was claimed after the adjournment that
there were twenty-three delegates and
eleven votes should not make the choice.
The delegates to nominate a candidate for
representative in the S4th district met in the
jury room. Captain ]. B, Carey, William
Mathewson, P. V. Healy, Mr.. Summers and
c. A. Duncan were placed in nomination.
The first ballot resulted as follows: Carey,

The delegates for the SD district met in

The fun of the day was yet to come. 1t
was in the convention to nominate county
commissioner in the Third district. They
commenced operations in the corOners Office
Immediately after the representative conven-
chairman. Itwas first decidee to vote by
ballot Messrs. J. E. Wingard and A. B.

gave Wingard % votes. and Smith "a.
1t was announced by the chair that there
were only 30 delegates in the convention. lie
could not make the result of the vote, and
this fact met on harmonious terms. 1t was
pronounced a fraudulent vote aud declared
off. Several ballots were cast with similar
results Stuffing the ballot box seemed TO
be the order of the evening. Finally one
moved that the vote be vive voce.
Parliamentarians interfered with his en-
terprisa. and said the convention had decided
to vote by ballot. The old plan was again
tried with no less encouraging result.
The motion was then made
to reconsider the ballot voting
scheme. which in the midst OF a pro
tracted wrangle was carried much to the
discomfort of many.
The townships were then called and its
vote was given and when the two tellers
made their report it did not correspond with
a number of industrious kickers who were
loud in their words OF disapproval. Another
attempt was then naie. which resulted as
follows:
Wingard. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

This it viii be observed gives total of 52
votes and the chair then decided that was as
close as they could get and declared Wingard

McCoy-How about that coroner! Is
there one TO be elected this fall9
About this time one who had appointed
himself a committee of cne to look up the
latest authority on the subject, said that he
was sure a coroner was elected last fall and
hence that nomination would necessarily
have to hang fire until next fall.
McCoy-Going back to elect q committee

Mr.. Love then made his appearance and
moved that the central committee be in
structed to ELL the vacancy on the ticket
caused by not showing up on the superintend-
ent of public instruction question. His mo

| Mccoy then resumed the discussion about
who was the '.boss clique in the central
committee He was of the opinion that Mr.
Healy was the man who was connected with
bossism
Mr. Healey arose and commence ced his YER

men to be the central committee: B. &.

When the committee had been named DR..
Furley moved that the name of VIM. Mathew

Dale-I understand that Mr.. Matthewson
will be candidatefor the legislature. l hope
the convention will ratify the chairman's
appointment.
The vote was taken on Furley's motion,
which resulted in its defeat

Mr.. w. w. Thomas. As there was no other
nominated, Mr.. Healy moved that the nomi-
nation be made by acclamation, and it was
done accordingly. The nominee being called
ont responded in an appropriate speech and
said of course that he had not sought the
honors conferred upon him by the conven-
ton. he paid due compliment to the abil-
ity AMI honesty of the Republican nomi-
nee.
The chair stating that the convention was
ready for nominations for di strict clerk,
brought Mr. W. T. Likely to his feet, who
looked as though he was likely" to make
nomination in the course of time. which he
did by proposing the name of Charles Guyer.
The rules were suspended and he was nomi-
mated by acclamation. In his acceptance he
made it point to say that he was captured
by the nomination. and not the reverse
When the convention was declare1S Sready
for nominations for superintendent of public
instruction Mr. Mccoy offered a resolution
proposing tc:leave that place vacant on the
ticket which passed This was translated by
a number of Republicans present as sugges
tive of coalation even more strange than
tha: of Pitt and Fox nearly a century ago.
The next was prosecuting attorney. Dir.
David Dale placed in nomination Mr.. ]. F.
Conley. who was also nominated by accla-
nation He responded to the usuarcan with his
little piece. In referring to the fact that he
had not been in the county long he said those
who gre new comers would be glad 10 know
they have equal rights with older citizens.
He did not forget to say that this honor was
wholly unsolicited by him.
