The Journal has frequently stated
that Albert Scheffer, the ST. Paul bank
er, should he fail 20 secure the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor and he
never stood any show of getting it
would run as an dependent candidate.
Yesterday McGill. Merriam and Schef-
fer, the three aVoWed candidates for
the nomination, were each asked the
following pointed qestions Will you
support the candidate for Governor put
in nomination by the forthcoming Re-
publican state convention Do you in.
tend to run as an independent candi-
date, or to seek a nomination at the
hands of the Democratic party Gov.
McGill replied: "My Republicanism is
notin question, and as a matter Of course
l will support the nominee of my party.
No one for a moment could suppose
that | would accept nomination at the
hands OF any party other than the Re.
publican Mr.. Merriam answered !:
TO the first question / answer Yes
and to the Latter No, and each de-
sire to make as emphatic as possible.
| can scarcely conceive why it should
be deemed necessary to PROFOUND these
queries to me. That | am a candidate
for the Republican nomination for Co
vernon is a very open secret Mr..
scheffer's reply was: Il cannot and
will not answer the qestions, and for
the reason that I have resolved not to
answer any further interrogatories put
by the press. What is the good of it?''

MEETING OF PRESBYTERY.

The Arkansas Valley Presbytery held
an adjourned meeting in the United Pres
byterian church The object of the meet
ing was to consider a petition that had
been presented TO Presbytery at a previous
meeting, from number of persons IN
Sterling asking for the organization of a
new, or second I. p. congregation in that
city. There has been a very bitter quarrel
going on for the past two years in the old
congregation of that place. Every effort
has been made by Presbytery to settle it,
but the parties at strife refuse to be recon-
ciled, and as the congregation is about
equally divided, but little can be done in
the way of church work. A number of
persons have moved in to Sterling since
this difficulty began who wish to connect
with the United Presbyterian church, but
not wanting to be connected with the
quarrel IN progress they have waited in
the hope that peace would be established
Seeing no prospect of that, those persons
came to Presbytery with a petition asking
TO be organized into congregation by
themselves so that they can worship in
peace. After full and prayerful discus.
sion the Presbytery granted the organiza-
ton believing that this will in time put an
end to the unseemly church controversy
that has so long existed among that peo-
pie
a petition was also presented by parties
belonging to one side of the strife asking
that the old congregation be disorganized,
but this was after discussion laid on the
table until next meeting of Pre-, bytery
No other business of special interest was
transacted.

No other
transacted.

Mrs. Josephine j. Leslie, beloved wife of
], I. Leslie, died at her residence in Wich-
ita November the 18th, 1898, of typhoid
fever. after an illness of eleven days. She
was never heard to murmur, but bore her
sufferings with great patience, humbly
submitting to the will of the Lord, leaving
all in His hands, as she died without a re
quest. Mrs Leslie was native of Column
biana county, Ohio, daughter of Thomas
and Phoebe Smith, was married in 1872.

dark day when the country was almost
desolated with the plague of grasshoppers,
she bravely endured the sacrifices accom-
panied with frontier life, perfectly de-
voted to her husband and loving mother
training her little ones to love and fear the
Lord, which she had tried to do ever since
the age of twelve. Her desire was accom-
plished when she had them taken into the
communion of the Presbyterian churcn
They viii miss her watchful care and affec
tionate counsel, but they are blessed with
n devoted father who will spare no pains
nor money for their comfort After fifteen
years in Kansas Mrs Leslie and her hus-
band had accumulated a comfortable liv-
ing and were ready to retire and enjoy the
fruits of their labor, but seemingly she
was cut down in the bloom Of life How
sad TO say she is no more
Dear one, thou hast left US; we thy loss
do deeply mourn"

does not agree with the council in its con-

the position that the company, By its fran

THAT WOMAN"

Last evening Chancellor II. W. Everest.
of Garfield University, delivered most
interesting lecture at the First II. Z.
church on the subject That Woman"
The speaker commenced by saying that
in all countries that woman" whether ar
rayed in white or black. always had been
and always will be the subject of the
greatest concern to the human race If
you should ask the successful business
man, the lawyer, the doctor, the minister,
he would tell you that in the inspiration
and comfort of that woman" was the Sc
cret of his success. On the other hand
when man hates his home, becomes debas-
ed and beastlike woman has had her infiu-
ence in his downward course. Lust and
appetite within and wine and woman
without will drag man downward. For
her he would forego the bliss of heaven,
for her he,would accept the horror of the
pit. Semiramis of Assyria. Cleopatra of
Egypt, Cornelia of Rome, Catharine
Second of Russia, and Victoria of the
British empire, each one is that woman"
THAT woman" wrote Uncle Toms Cabin.
THAT woman" is now leading the armies
of temperance and morality to the over
tHTVW VI hiut, aicOuOl anu It's Altenudnt
vices. Time would fail me to enumerate
the names or the heroic deeds of the wives
and mothers of the world The paper then
spoke of the various types and character
istics of the women. What shall be done
with that woman" is the most puzzling
problem in the mind of the philanthro-
pist. Several different questions We're
then discussed in most thorough and in
telligent manner.
First-What shall we do with that wo-
man" in respect to her race in the human
family?
Second-What shall we do with that
woman" in school?
Third-What shall we do with that wo-
man" in the home?
Fourth-What shall We do with that
in the business circles?
Fifth-What shall we do with that wo-
man" in society?
Sixth-What shall we do with that wo-
man" in the political ARENA
Each one of these questions was fully
the eloquent speaker holding
his audience with the most wrapped at
tention until the close.

AN INCORRECT IMPRESSION.

| To the Editor Of the EAGLE.
| In Thursday evening paper there is an
article which gives an incorrect impress
sion about the Benevolent Home and the
homeopathic. The reporter infers that
1.-THE doctors in charge do not let a repre-
sentative of other schools into the home"
| This is quite incorrect. Ever since the
home was opened in 1885 both schools have
| had patients Charity and pay patients) in
the institution, and they can have them
in now.
Last spring, when the Benevolent Home
and hospital moved into the large build
ing it now occupies, it was deemed advis-
able to have staff of physicians attached
10 the institution. and the ladies asked
some of the leading physicians and sur
geons OF the city to form a staff. This was
done without reference to money
donations but for charity's sake, and the
staff have nobly fulfilled their promise,
working day and night uuremittingly and
unrewarded except by our gratitude.
Since we have had regular staff Homeo-
pathic physicians in this city have had
patients in the Benevolent Home-both
charity and pay patients, and our staff has
i'll no way interfered with them.
As president Of the Benevolent Home
last May, [ met a committee of the Homeo-
pathic doctors with the ministerial asso-
citation of this city and explained TO them
that they were quite at liberty to bring
their patients into the Home and attend
them there by simply applying to the pres
ident or member of the investigating
committee for the usual order Of admis-
sion.
This will suffice to show what friendly
feeling has always been evinced to the
homeopathic school and that they have
always had free access to the institution.
Respectfully.
Mrs. A BAsLEY,
EX- President w =. IL & Il

A KANSAS CITY MANS OPINION.

A Kansas City business man, who for
merly visited southwest Kansas quite
regularly, but who hadn't been in Wichita
since the fall of 'S5 spent yesterday in the
city. Ia q conversation yesterday with an
old friend and acquaintance he said:
Wichita is today the liviest, busiest city
in the west, and outsiders who know only
of the place through others, and who are
saying that she is not as prosperous as
formerly, are simply off for she was never
so great as she Is today, and she is bound
to be great city, and its worse than fool
ishness to deny fact so potent to every
man who comes and sees for himself"

A cultured and respected young lady, of
this city, at present teaching school at the
O. X school house, five miles northwest of

experience last Thursday night. She had
been working up an exhibition, to be
given by her pupils, for several weeks,
which would have been a very pleasant
and successful affair but for the disreputa-
bic interruptions by several hobos from
this city, who went out there, seemingly,
with the express purpose of breaking the
entertainment up if possible, Some of the
school board were in attendance and were
requested by the young lady to put stop
to the nuisance. The members requested
were either intimidated or unable TO stop
the hobos. the entertainment in conse-
quence being nearly broken up The
