HE'S ALL RIGHT.
SO SAY THE REPUBLICANS OF
WICHITA ABOUT HUMPHREY.
A Few of Those Who Remained al
Home Comment Tersely on
the Qualifications OF Kan
sas' Next Governor.

All hail to Humphrey, the next governor
of Kansas So say each and all of the gal
liant phalanx of Republicans who, despite
some feeling of disappointment when first
the result of the ballot became known,
will answer to the roll call when their
preferences are registered at the Novem
Der election.
Mr. Humphrey was undoubtedly the
choice of southeast Kansas and as will be
seen by the few subjolned expressions OF
opinion, he is held in the highest estima-
tion by the members of his party in Wich-
ita, as man imbued with fine qualifica-
lions for the Office to which he has just
been nominated, that of governor Of Kan
sas. Many of those who left in the early
part of the week, to be present at the con-
vention, have not yet returned, still. how
ever quite sprinkling came in last
night and all who were seen were thor
oughly in accord with the results of the
| conventions deliberations.
Mayor Allen returned last evening and
reports that Humphrey was as good as
| nominated before the convention. he
considers him first class man and says
he prefers him to all the other candidates
who were put in nomination.
W. Z. Hutchinson: 'The nomination is
good one. Humphrey is one of the most
pleasant gentlemen know. He has lots
of good sense and Judgment and will
make an excellent governor"

Robert Dean: Humphrey is a good

B. D. Hammond: ''It's the best nomin-
alton that could have been made under the
circumstances. Humphrey was my second
| choice"
S. V. Majors Dem): Humphrey is the
strongest man the Republicans could have
nominated"
A. w. Oliver: II think the nomination
as good one as could have been made.
Humphrey was my choice before Wichita
determined to enter a dark horse. l know
| good deal of the next governor and con-
slider him an exceptionally bright man"
w. A. Thomas: Humphrey is one of
the brightest men in the state of Kansas.
You may know that by Sedgwick county
supporting him, for Sedgwick never
mounts the wrong horse"
G. W. Clement: 81 consider Humphrey
man who will fill the office with dignity
and honor to himself and the state
H. w. Lewis: Humphrey is a fine gen.
tleman, bright man and good Republi-
can who will poll the full vote of the
party
w. S. Morris: Humphrey has been be-
fore the people long enough for them to
know him good man. With so many ex-
cellent candidates in the field it was only a
GU estion of the fittest. He is a good,
straight Republican"
| Farmer Doolittle: Humphrey is AS
strong man as could have been nomin-
ated by the party"

THE BALL LAST NIGHT.

Last evening an enjoyable party was
given by the Wichita running team al
Beal's dancing academy in the Morris
block. The boys, it will be remembered
gave their first ball about month ago in
the Schuyler hall West Side, and by this
means managed to secure meaGs enough &c
defray their expenses TO the tournament
on the Fourth at Anthony. The object o.
this. their second, was TO obtain money
enough to purchase uniforms. fix up their
carts and attend the fairs and tournaments
this fall.
There were about fifty couples presen,
including the members OF the team, their
friends and ladies' The music was fur
nished by George Dennis string band
and was very good. The dancing was kept
up for some time and was source Of
pleasure and enjoyment to ali present.
The boys in this way succeeded In netting
quite nest little sum for the carrying on,
OF their purposes

THE WEST SIDE MYSTERY.

Yesterday an investigation was made Of
the mystery reported in yesterdays EAGLE
as being connected with certain house on
North Oak in West Wichita. The some
what superficial examination of the prem
Uses made the night before and the attend
ant circumstances Of the stencil arising
from beneath the house, and the strange
behavior of the former tenants created
considerable interest on the West side.
The investigation was made yesterday
morning by the officers and in the presence
of quite a party of citizens. The boards
covering the hole were removed and the
digging for the supposed human remains
buried beneath was commenced. One of
the first things thrown up by the shovel
was q bone which for the time being only
heightened the curiosity. But close ex-
animation showed that even this was moth
ing more than a chicken bone. And then
in few minutes afterwards when the Off
Ger thrust his cane down into the hole and
brought forth only the unmistakable EVIL
dence Of the rotten potatoes the whole as
semblage broke up and everybody said that
they always thought it didn't amount 70
anything anyhow.

Rural Scene in India.

For the last 100 miles muCsl Of the
country was pretty. The mango and
other orchards are abundant and every
plain had its many scattered trees. Bar

were any, were of cactus and prickly
pear. The spider webs over them well
clouded with dust looked like great Cos
samer wells spread over the spiky hedges
Rows OF aloes or century plants lined the
road. Now and then vision would peDe-
trate as far as the eye could reach, through
openings in the trees, and the prospect

ON WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS.
A GOOD TINE on NORTH MEAD.

Last night they had another dance in a
hall up on North Mead avenue and must
have had an unusually good time as four
or five of the attendants were seen shortly
after midnight with black eyes and cuts IN
their heads.
In the midst of the row which happened
about l o'clock three women tainted and
had to be carried out into the fresh air.
One of the men evidently not very
familiar with the way things were done
at this place. run down street bare
headed for doctor. One was found some
where on the avenue and aroused. But an
eye witness said that just about the time
the man and the doctor doomed up in
sight down the Midland track the difficult
ty was all over, the dancing had recon-
menced and by the time that the two had
reached the hall it could not be told who
was the female that few minutes before
had tainted away.
