A CONVENTION INCIDENT.

One of the amusing incidents Of the
great Republican convention in Wichita
transpired yesterday morning after the
adjournment. Rev. j. c. Ross. of Chau-
tauqua county, was delegate, and did
not arrive until near time of the assem-
bling of the convention, and yesterday
morning at the Grand Carey he was giving
his experience to a crowd of delegates.
He said ''Owing TO the lateness Of my
arrival, did not secure room at the
hotel before the meeting of the conven-
ton. / never thought of it until after the
convention adjourned-long after mid
night. ! stayed until the very last to get
my railroad ticket signed by the secretary
of the convention, so you see, the lights
were put out before | was clear out of the
hall, and all at once it occurred to
me that I must hunt for bed.
One of the Sedgwick county delegates who
had Jagged behind volunteered to show me
to hotel We went to the Occidental, the
Manhattan, the Grand Carey, and several
other hotels that do not now remember,
but could not find bed. Wichita just
seemed to lack one bed in entertaining all
the immense throng of people who came
here to the convention. | told my new
friend that l would just go to the Grand
Carey and sit up the rest of the night. No,
said he, you need not do that; come to my
house. | went with him and
got good bed, and my
breakfast and was royalty taken care OF. D
"Who was the delegate who used you SO
well?'' asked one of the party. After re-
flecting the gentleman said his name was
p Y. HeaIy. This announcement was re-
ceived with loud laugh by number of
men attracted by the story. why" said
one Of them, pat Healy is not a delegate,
and he is one of the worst Democrats and
anti-prohibitionists in the country. "Well,
WE'LL" said the delegate from Chautauqua,
wichita is a wonderful town sure
enough. Now, supposed, as matter of
course, that man Healy was Republican,
but since l come to think | now remember
that he did not say anything about his
own politics. l will not go back on him
anyhow" And then they all took another

rURNvEREIN ANNIVERSARY.

Yesterday was the third anniversary OF,
the Turner Society Of Wichita, ana as
usual was observed by that body. About
o'clock they came out in parade. White
shirts, belts, ties and hats and black trous-
ers comprised their uniforms They stepped
to music furnished by the Knights OF St.
Joseph band. In the first ranks OF the
parade We're men of uncommon statue,
ala measuring over six feet IN nelgnth,
with deep chests and broad shoulders, pre-
senting a very portly appearance. Inc
line of march continued to the Turner hall
and gardens, ON South Main street, where
in the afternoon and early part OF the
evening the knights of ST. Joseph band,
under the direction of Prof. 6. +. Ander-
son, gave a grand open air concert, produc-
ing eighteen of their best selections. Ihls
was quite treat to lovers of music.
Dancing was INDUCED in the evening IN
the hall, which was deliberately decorated
with festoons of cut paper representing
the national colors, with appropriate ban
ners hung here and there. Music Tor the
evening was furnished by Shaw's orchestra.
After the grand march and FIRST waltz
Mr.. George Weiss, speaker or head man
of the Turner's, addressed the society con-
gratulatory to its progress and rapid in
crease in membership. In his speech ne
said that the average American had de-
cided n1isapprehension of the object Of
their society. That they (the Turner's had
been accused of being anarchist sympa-
thisers. He most emphatically denied any
such relation existing in their ranks. That
| their organization was for the promotion
Of sociability; also for physical, as we'll as
| moral development.
Mr.. Max Nickles, of Newton, was then
called upon to address the audience, which
he did in a very creditable manner, max
ing some very patriotic points, advising
| his fellow members to stand by the Amerl-
can loyalty, ignoring the peevlshness
of the Dutch for allowing themselves to
be controlled by England.
| Peace and harmony reigned throughout
| the day and evening. Visitors expressed
themselves as having been most highly
entertained. All who come in contact
| with the Germans know that their hos
| pitality cannot be out done. Dancing was
continued until late hour in the midst of
| much merrimept.

CARED FOR ROYALTY
The Delegates and Visitors all Pleased With the
City's Accommodations

Nearly all the delegates to the state con-
vention and others in attendance left on
the early morning trains yesterday for
their respective homes. Quite a mum ben
however, remained and were shown the
city by their friends. 1t was a pleasa nj
task lasting until the late evening trail Is
to show them only few of the leadtn
points of strength, speaking in no uncel'
tain sounds for the metropolis OF tue
southwest. Those who had been here but
a few months ago were surprlse'1
at the wonderful growth in so short az
time. Some had not been here for one,
two or more years and to them, accus-
toned as they are to see rapid growth in
cities and towns, as they live in Kansas,
they could make no concealment of their
surprise and how such wonderful results
could be secured in SO short time even IN
the midst ofthe richest agricultural country
of the world, was question many asked
Concerning their stay in the city all
were heard speak in complimentary terms
of their treatment and the facilities OF the
city to care fer a state convention. Be
ginning at the opera house they could say
it was an excellent place for a convention
could not be better-while the hotel &C
commodations were found to excel those
of any other city in the state. The North
western Kansas Editorial association, the
annual conclave of the state
Grand COmandry, and the
state Republican delegate convention
with its delegates, friends and others
bringing over two thousand people in the
city at once were amply cared for. In the
language of one of the delegates from the
eastern part of the state Wichita has
already demonstrated the fact that she
can take care of state delegate conven-
ton as wen or better than any other city
in the state. The corner On state conven-
tions has been busted and in fact Wichita
holds decided advantage in one particu-
lar. Did you know that many came here
TO see Wichita and would not have at
tended the convention had it been
held in any other city in the state.
Wichita promises to keep on growing and
each year will be more and more attrac-
tive to the people of the state and those
who attend all the state conventions each
year can find pleasure in coming to city
that has SO many new things to show
them"

A JOKE:

A young married man who has made
Wichita his home for nearly year, re-
turned recently to his former home in
Indiana. His cousin, who has lived in
Wichita long enough to be called an old
settler, wrote him several days since say
ing, my wife is thinking of visiting the
Hoosier state some time in June" ending
with this little sarcasm: IF you have any
objection wire me at my expense" A few
days later the writer of the above received
telegram C. o. d. 60c, as follows: ''Your
wife must visit us by all means" So far
the joke is on Bob" but yesterday he re-
ceived letter from the hoosier who it
seems has failed to grasp the situation,
for it says: Father thinks it very strange
of you to ask such a queer question about
your wife visiting u.s." Now it is hard to
tell where tho joke belongs.
