ed as arranged for, and Mr.. Turner aud
Mrs. Armstrong, who were playing of the
tie, won the match by score of 4-6, 6-5,
g. The playing was very even on both
sides, and many brilliant plays were made.
In each set the FL Dorado team seemed 20
get the advantage in the early stages, the
score being 81 in their favor each time,
but in the first two sets the Wichita team
steadily gained ground and crowded their
opponents very closely, and won the first
set without very hard fighting.
The second set, however. showed very
hard playing, and was won by II Dorado
only by a scratch, the Wichita team max
ing the most points. The third set was
easily won by ii Dorado. as Lewis seemed

A BOOKSELLER wEAKENs.

Judge Museller leaves this morning for
Greensberg where this afternoon he will
speak to the voters of Kiowa county and
tonight will speak at Pratt.
The Mcpherson agitator, Scott, sent in
a challenge for the meeting this afternoon
and after it was accepted his trainers wired
last night that the aforesaid Scott was
sick and would be unable To put up his
dukes. He is one of the extensive corps of
agitators who have been making speeches
for some months and closing up each
speech pathetically with an appeal for the
crowd to purchase some books he carries
with him. He gave the same performance
at the fair grounds a few days ago, and
possibly he came to the conclusion that if
he tackled Museler he would not have
enough time to sell any books and as the
seasons business is about over be wants
TO make money while he can.

victim and rob him also, when the new
law put an Ito the business That law
was passed for DO other purpose on earth
bnt to put a stop to that Kind of robbery:
and yet this man Rightmire is going over
this state, seeking TO stir up the lowest
passions of men against the legislature for
passing it: and it is this man who is today
put forward by the Alliance for the great
Office of chief justice of Kansas against
that pure, able and high-minded jurist
who now fills that exalted place. Is there
a man here who would vote for such a
man for chief Justice? Cries Of NO"
NO" throughout the audience
And now, fellow citizens, l have said far
more of myself than / intended. You
must pardon me If l have spoken with
some warmth. But during eighteen
months have kept still; and while have
been trying to attend to business a few
men have been peddling malicious state
ments all over this city in regard to my
self, and | understand that | am even now
charged in an Alliance hand-bill with be-
ing responsible for the law authorizing
personal judgments in foreclosure suits-a
law which was passed in May, 1870, more
than twenty years ago, when was a school
boy way back in Erie, Pennsylvania.
All ask Is that when you come to cast
your vote on Tuesday next | may be
judged, not in the light of Ignorant asser-
lions and malicious misstatements, but by
the truth, and by that alone.

parings, and illuminated with such Jack
o-lanterns as would make the average boy
shout with gleeful anticipation Of the chill

guests were seated and card placed before

"The jail's in hard shape tonight" re-
marked officer Rider to RECORD UNION
reporter, as the latter made his midnight
call last night.
Full, is it?' the latter asked.
"Fullp' exclaimed the officer; why,
never saw anything like it, except just after
a raid on the dives, such as are sometimes
made. We had to turn away dodgers to-
night, and if any more arrests are made
before morning, don't know what we'll
do with the prisoners, unless we lay them
out on the floor of the corridor"
The reporter took a glance at the slate
and found the following brilliant array of
guests registered:
Charles Stratmyer, disturbing the peace;
John Doe, drunk; All JAMES, petit larceny
Mrs. Scullion. drunk; jerry Haley, disturb
ing the peace; John Doe, No. 2. drunk; M.

drunk; Richard Roe, drunk.
In addition to the above there were proba-

Verify, the spring weather is having a
disastrous effect on a certain class, es-

Grammar School Course Fund apportioned at
60 rnnr rni11ail.
s6,5s2

The school law was amended by the last
Legislature SO as to provide grammar
school courses in the various school dis
tricts. Section 1868 of the Political Code
now provides that the Board of Trustees of
any district may, upon petition or other
wise, call meetings of the qualified electors
of the district, to determine whether or not
the grammar school course shall be taught
in such district. If such course be chosen
ii shall thereafter, in such district, be SUBJ
stituted for the course prescribed for the
grammar grade.
This grammar course is to be of such
character as to fit pupils to enter the scien-
tific department of the University. This
grammar school course, it is provided,
shall be divided into four grades of one
year each, and these constitute "the
course" This is intended to give to coun-
try districts the same advantages that regu-
lar grammar schools extend to children re-
siding in towns or cities, instead of confin-
ing them to the mixed school, divided into
primary and grammar grades. 1t is pro-
vided that under the new system there
shall be yearly examinations in each grade
and that diplomas may issue to students in
the grammar school course. 1t is further
provided that for each pupil enrolled in
the grammar school course the State Su-
perintendeat shall apportion the State
school fund so as to allow So head for
such pupils.
Thus far none of the districts in this
county, outside of this city, have applied
for the establishment of the grammar
school course, and hence cannot derive any
benefit from the State superintendent for
the pupils of such schools.
