The Republic and the Farmers.

The work of the Grange and other
like societies has not always been sue
cessful on certain of its original aims,
but it has accomplished all that could
be desired in the education of its men,
bers and of public opinion. The feeling
of the agricultural interest, on every
subject that has received thorough con-
sideration, is respected. The commit

Mr.. Burrows and the Farmer.

1t will be i'm order now for the Demo
cratic papers of this congressional dis
trict to parade Mr.. Yaple as the friend
and champion of the farmer, and at
tempt To demonstrate that he is such
by his free trade speeches-quoting, of
course, only such portions of his public
utterances as can be tortured into
seeming accord with the interests of
the agricultural classes. But here is
an extract from one of his speeches
which, it is safe TO say, these papers
will not quote:
4" / did Uote fer FREE WOOL, and, By
the Eternal, a0iH do so again If hare
an opportunity :"
Indeed it will be pulling hard
against the stream" to induce an intel
lgent farmer to vote for man whose
pet theory is Numerically opposed to
the material welfare of the American
farmer
On the other hand, Mr.. Burrows
embraces and puts TO account every
opportunity to enhance these interests,
by voice and vote; on the floor of the
House, in the committee room and in
his public utterances everywhere. As
evidence of the appreciation of his ef-
forts in this behalf by the ablest farm
ers in the land, we append a letter
written to Mr.. Burrows by Hon. j. II.

AT LIBERTY.

Frank Z. Wilson, who was under death
sentence for the murder of Bertha Miller,
on South Hydraulic avenue, is now at lib
erty, having been released from custody
yesterday by an order of the court. The
circumstances in this case are still fresh
in the mind of the public, and it will be
remembered that the feeling was strong
at the time. 1t was generally conceded
that Wilson knew something of the case,
while many believed him guilty. The
evidence was not conclusive without GER
tain links which Wilson's attorneys claim
were manufactured by snide detectives In
the hope of getting the reward offered for
conviction. At any rate the jury found
him guilty and he was condemned to
death. His attorneys, Sturdevant & Stur-
devant, by asslduous attention to the case,
managed TO bring the matter to the fayora-
BILE consideration of the supreme court,
and several weeks back new trial was
granted. Yesterday the prosecution made
application 10 Judge Reed to have the
case nollied on the ground that material
witness was absent and beyond the juris-
diction of the court. A nolle was entered
in the case, which was followed by re-
lease signed by Judge Reed. and the pris-
oner was at once released from custody.
Today he is in the enjoyment of his full
liberty again.

RICE & DIXEY'S PEARL OF PEKTN.'
There are so many attractions visiting
cities of this size under false pretences,
that is, advertising some New York sue
cess, who merely have 4 company specially
organized 10 play the smallest cities, and
who are never seen in a large city, but use
the same printing as the metropolitan or
carnations that appear in the same pro
duction in the principal cities, that great
distinction should be made in favor of
perhaps the one important company that
brings, not alone the play, but every
member of the original cast. all the scenery
and all the costumes and surroundings Of
the original production. This refers to
Rice q Dixey's famous production OF The
Pearl of Pekin," which will be seen at the
opera house next Monday, March Il, and
for which personal guarantee has been
given by both Rice aud DiXey and also the
manager of the opera house, that the pre-
sentation in this city will be seen with
every attention TO detail and exactly as
produced in New York for 80 nights.
The sale OF tickets opens Thursday

those who wish 10 see the Pearl OF Pc

IMPORTANT MEETING.
The Executive Committee OF the State ImMi-
grafton Bureau in Sessiop-How the Bu-
reau is Regarded i'll East
ern States.

The executive committee of the State
immigration Bureau met at the board or
trade rooms yesterday and took up the
work in detail and listened to reports.
After auditing accounts the state book
was considered and part of the matter
considered and revised. An adjournment
was taken at o'clock until $50 this morn
ing, when the bids for printing will be
opened and contract awarded.
Those present were L. 3. Buck, presi-
dent. Winfield; H. Cowley. secretary, and
A. w. Oliver, treasurer, Wichita; A. *.
Ford, Kansas City; c. P. Burlington.
Cherryvale; r. S. Martin, Eureka E. A.
Spencer, Russell; VIII Z. Bolton, Green's
burg.
The members ofthe committee seem well
pleased with the work done and certain of
favorable results. The bureau has sue
ceeded IN getting nearly everything it has
asked for and no reason to complain, as es-
timated, of the progress made. While all
were impatient for good results, yet it was
conceded that it took time for everything
where so many were concerned. There
was general feeling TO rush the work as
rapidly as possible and it is believed that

great and good results.
Mr.. H. Z. Trice, of Winfield, in a con-
versation at the board of trade rooms, said
yesterday that in the eastern states there
was much talk about the Kansas Immigra-
ton bureau. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Trice is hustler with a
record in getting people to come to
Kansas. He has spent -ome years at II
and goes TO work by going east and west
working up the immigration question.
He says he fluids hundreds of people who
want to know more about Kansas and
want the bureau to send them printed
matter about the state. He thinks the
bureau in this way can do great deal OF
effective work. While he is strongly in
favor of the plan of sending agents he con-
cedes that everything helps. On approach
ing man who has been reading about
Kansas he takes more interest in the
question of relocating to get better chances
for hustiing bread and butter. Col. Trice
insists on the bu eau rushing the work as
rapidly as possible and hot firing all along
the line he says will do effective work.

AT SOUTH LAWRENCE AVENUE CHURCH.

The second literary and musical enter
tainment of a series was given at the South
Lawrence Avenue church last night to a
large audience. Every number of the pro
gram was greatly enjoyed and many met
with generous applause. The favorites
were simply forced to respond to encores.
The recitations were delivered with
good evolutionary effect. and the full force
OF the authors words was appreciated.
The musical part of the program was
varied in most pleasing manner, and it
was all so good that no one IN the audi
ence felt inclined to say which was the
best
The closing number was probably the
feature of the evening, and the young
ladies participating did themselves justice
to the delight of all the listeners.
These entertainments promise to be
very entertaining and successful, and in
quiries are already being made when the

THE FIRE ALARM QUESTION.

Some Of the property owners in the First
ward are commencing to insist strongly
on having fire-alarm boxes. They don't
like the idea of no boxes south of the ave-
nue., which adds to the risk of loss by fire.
A member of the council who belongs to
the fire committee said yesterday that the
alarm service at the water station would
soon be given test and thoroughly ex-
amined. Should the engineer at the sta
ton fail to understand how TO do his part
towards maintaining trusty service he
thought some instructions should be given
if necessary. or at least something done
that would result in good service. So far
no trouble has been experienced from the
alleged defective service.
