Office of State superintendent of
Schools, and NJ. w. Graham, John II.
Morgan and j. II. Bryant was nomin-
ated for Trustees Of the State Univer-
sity
But the browning work Of the con-
venton was the wild enthusiasm with
which the name of John NJ. Palmer
was presented as the Democratic can
didate for u. 5. Senator. As piece
Of party tactics, such step was only
justified by the unanimity with which
1t was taken. Had there been any Sc
rious division on the question, any
thing approaching formidable minor

would certainly have involved more OF
less danger, but as the united, spon

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The members of the bookkeeping class
who have succeeded in getting their
ledgers closed found that 'stock" was
success in the general merchandise bust
ness, but his outside speculation was
source of loss. Perhaps this has moral:
Pursue one line of business and give that
your undivided attention.
Yesterday afternoon a number of young
men of the institute met in the chapel and
laid the foundation of debating society.
Mr.. Parker called the meeting to order
and Mr.. Sweet was chosen secretary pro
tenn. After some brilliant nominating
speeches the society proceeded to ballot
for president, the result of which was the
election of Mr. Waller, who was escorted
to the chair and addressed the society in
very appropriate manner. Mr.. Alexander
was elected vice president. and Mr. Stevens
secretary After the usual routine of or
ganization, including some hot discussions,
the following question was adopted: RE
solved that American craftsmanship is on
the decline"
The object of the members in organizing
this society is to become familiar with
parliamentary rules. Any members of the
institute may become member by being
present. All are invited.

THE ART OF SWIMMING.

Women Are Natural Swimmers and Can

An unusual amount Of interest IN the

a great deal Of timeand money b devoted

THE SILK ASSOCIATION.

The report of Miss Palmer's sudden
| illness at the hotel Monday night
gave rise to an unpleasant rumor which
| called for an investigation. She was at
tackled by fainting spell to which she is
subject at times of excitement and few
moments before had called for paper and
envelope The bell boys imagination got
away with him and by the time the report
got block it was alarming in its details
Physicians were summoned and in about
thirty minutes the lady was herself
again. Yesterday evening a representative
of the EAGLE called on her and listened to
her story which is given IN substance.
There was nothing in the sudden illness
further than already narrated but very
brief history of her trials with the silk
colony as told by herself is enough to
drive a person to destruction. She said
she wished to pass over the little petty
annoyances to which she was subject at
the outset and come right down
to that point when the honesty
Of her transactions was impugned in
communication published in the EAGLE.
The communication invited her to ex-
plain and she wished TO do so but her at
torney at that time for some reason known
only to himself counselled otherwise. She
was selling cocoons in Philadelphia. re-
ceiving nothing for her services. Mrs.
Glenn brought her four pounds, valued
roughly at s.. She sent them on and got
her returns back, showing that they only
weighed out $40. This might have been
a mistake of the Philadelphia parties but
she thinks the weight was overestimated
at this end. The difference between her
self and Mrs. Glenn was simply matter
of less than 81 which occurred as stated.
Mrs. Glenn saw the returns and knew that
there was no mistake on her part. This,
Miss Palmer added, should explain that
point.
As regards the matter for which she
is under arrest she said briefly that she
had received in round numbers 800 from
her different colonists with instructions
to invest in eggs and cocoons. OF this
amount 800 had been spent and
the worms received. The balance
was ordered but afterwards countermand-
ed. The first lot of worms got some dis
ease and died, making a net loss of 300.
This started the trouble and all the ladies
wanted their money back without stand
ing any VI GIlC lOSS COlliC VI OlICLA
with lawyers and frightened her into re
turning the $500 still in her possession,
thus letting some of them out without any
loss. When her money was all gone and
the persecution continued, she went to an
other lawyer and, since that time, has
acted only advisedly. In conclusion, she
said she had been informed by her attor
ney that her action was unbusinesslike,
and doubtless it was, but she had no inten-
ton of doing wrong, and did not feel that
she had committed any crime beyond what
her ignorance had led her into. As she
was talking she held receipts and further
proofs in her hand to substantiate her
story, which will come up for hearing be-
fore Judge Mosely on Monday next. In
the meantime Miss Palmer returns to her
relations in Medicine Lodge, feeling, as
she put it, more sinned against than sin

PUEBLO, Col, August II, 1890.
Colonel NJ. NJ Murdock did not care TO be
intervied in this city today, as is shown by
the following interview which appeared in
the Pueblo Daily Chieftain:
Colonel NJ NJ Murdoch, editor and
proprietor of the Wichita EAGLE, the
brightest daily paper in Kansas, accom-
panied by his wife and two children, and
Mr.. and Mrs. j. o. Davidson, of the same
city, spent Sunday in Pueblo on their way
to Wagon Wheel Gap. To representative
of the Chieftain Colonel Murdoch said:
MANY years ago / tramped and rode all
over this Rocky mountain country, and
have never looked at Pueblo in any other
light than as the gateway to this vast and
rich area. The progress Pueblo is making
is simply astounding, but 1 am out here
for recreation and resin fact for fish
and fun"
Asked regarding the condition of Kansas
politics, Colonel Murdoch said with a
smile: Now would prefer very much TO
have you address a letter to the EAGLE of
fee, and tell my brother to send you copies
of the EAGLE for the past several months.

AN AIR SHIP.
The Problem OF Aerial Navigation Is Claimed
to Have Been Solved by Kan
sas inventor

Mr.. Charles E. Bechtel, of Udall, has
protected himself by patent on an air
ship that is claimed to be a success. A
disinterested party who has seen and ex-
amined it speaks in the following enthusi-
astic manner in regard to it:
A person could hardly thoroughly inves-
tigate the subject of aerial navigation as
illustrated and explained by the Scientific
American during the last decade without
being fully convinced of its entire practi-
cability. Narrow minds, it is true, may
doubt its feasibility and certain utility,
may urge that propulsive power and con-
troll of forward power of an air ship are
impossibilities, but the successful expert
ments of celebrated French inventors have
put the matter beyond doubt in the judg-
ment of the well informed. Experiments

THE MODERN wooDMES BANQUET.

Late last evening the EAGLE scribe was
looking for news and was attracted by a
light in the top story of the Getto block.
Without giving much heed to the bend Of
his footsteps he soon found himself within
the mystic domain of the Modern Wood
men of America Every man had an axe,
mot to grind but it seemed to come in
handy at the banquet. The Rev. Botkin
had just been initiated into the mysteries
of the order and he was nowhere visible
and blood stained axe in one corner
suggested something horrible. How
ever, it was finally agreed that a
report in the morning paper calculated
to reconcile the wives and families
at home would save mans life. Here
follows the report. Yesterday evening at
the close of the initiatory ceremonies ac-
cording TO custom the Modern Woodmen
sat down in their spacious hall TO a stump
tuous banquet The banquet was served
by Mr.. c. Y. FriZell, and all the delicacies
of the season weighted down the tables.
During the banquet and following a num-
Der of speeches were made of interest and
entertaining TO the members of the order
Nothing was lacking TO make the evening
most enjoyable and the occasion will long
be remembered with satisfaction and
