Kennedy, of Ohio, who has caused u
sensation by his vicious attack on Quay,
is q ranting bathcrskite. He hardly ever
rises in his seat without Juggling in some
boast of his having served in the Union
army and how he confronted rebels on the
battle field. As is usually the case with
such loud yaunters, it is said his war
record is anything but glorious. In
debate he is very voluble and very mac
curatc, and consequently often encounters
defeat, and what would he to any man of
dcccncy and honor, humiliation and
shame. But being insensible to every
elevated sentiment, he does not seem con-
conscious Of the disgrace which often
follows his reckless and innammatory
harrangues.
During the last session Of congress he
made furious attack on the committee
on elections, majority of whom were
democrats, and assailcd Crisp of Georgia,
its chairman, with bitter violence. Crisp,
who is one of the few southern rcpresen-
tatves possessing solid abilities, sat
calmly in his seat until the vollcy of
vitupcration had been exhausted. Then
rising deliberately he gave Kennedy Il
sknnng which was heartily enjoyed by
every democrat in the house and Ivy many
republicans.
"The gentleman has said and he went
on to repeat the statements Kennedy had
made; and to fix his talons more firmly in
the flesh of his prey, he paused and asked
if he had repeated correctly the words of
Kennedy. The latter replied, yes Crisp
then proceeded to make IL statement of
facts directly in conflict with the state
ment of Kennedy "Now," said he,
"cither the statement have made is
| false or the statement the gentleman of
| Ohio has made is false. Both cannot lie
true, us they are direct contradiction of
each other" Turning toward the rcpub-
lican side of the house, he went on, g
shall not summon any Of my democratic
colleagues to testify to the truth of my
statement and to the falsity of that made
By the gentleman. I am willing to have
the issue decided by distinguished gen
tleman who is eminent in the gentleman :
own party, who was il member of the COM
mttec, and who, believe, has the honor
and courage to speak the truth. ask the
gentleman of Iowa, Mr.. Henderson, if
what ! have said is not true and if what
the gentleman of Ohio has said is not
untrue"
General Henderson rose and said the
facts as stated by Crisp were correct in
every particular" The democrats roarcd,
and Kennedy looked the insignificant
creature hc is.
AS soon as this was over, another men,
her rose and showed that Kennedy had
falsiiied the facts in another statement he
made. But kcnncdy's fiery harrange went
out and was doubtless highly applauded
by the Ohio republicans, who are the
meanest on earth.

After lie had gone MI KandalI turned
to me and said, You don't know Burrows
well, do you? He's pleasant man
socially, but one Of the most radical of
the radicals-hc's terror" and his face
lit up with one OF those smiles which
often came to it when talking with Il

when graphing with an enemy.

CONCERT.

The College Hill Sabbath school will
give an entertainment this Sunday even
ing at the chapel, commencing at 7:3O
sharp. These concerts heretofore have al
ways proven very attractive and drawn
full houses. Since the preaching service
has been discontinued there has, however,
been no effectual way of advertising them,
and for that reason they were for time
discontinued With the return Of autumn
it is thought best to revive them and thus
afford means of passing the lengthening
evenings in pleasant and profitable way.
The interest and welfare of the school sug-
gest such a course, and all the friends of
the pupils are earnestly invited to attend
and lend the support of their presence at
least.
A varied program has been prepared for
this evening including recitations, duets
and solos. A quartette will be a feature
of the evening. All are invited to attend
and are promised that there will be no
room for disappointment.

OFF FOR SHERMAN.

Mr. Oscar Smith leaves today for Sher-
man, Tex, to look after business interests
there. Some months ago he became &C
quainted with some of the business men
of that town who are known as energetic
and enthusiastic business-like fellows.
They were not slow to offer clever induce
ments for money getting, and in turn the
result was that MIR. Smith was not slow to
make investments there. He says Sher-
man has as great a percent of first-class
business men as any town of of its size TO
be found in the country, and hence it is
good town. Having lived in Wichita
many years he would not be satisfied to
invest in any average town.
Mr.. Smith refers to the fact that Cotton
is King" in the south and around Sher-
man the King crop is better than it has
been for thirty-fve years. In making this
statement he claims to accept the state
ments of the most reliable men of that
section. The commercial result, as be-
lieved, will be clever times in Texas to
match high-priced corn in Kansas.

butcher shop in Brooklyn. They had
made little money, and from indulging
their fondness for horses by purchasing
rapid steppers for their meat wagons they
gradually drifted to the turf, scoring their
first success with Rhadamanthus, and win
ming ST Cos the first season. They brought
out Jimmy Mclaughlin, the famous jock
ey, who steered 81 ,000, 900 into their peck
cts while he rode their flyers. Since the
days of Rhadamanthus they have CAPTURED
many times every great eastern stake ex-
cepting the Realization. Brooklyn Handi-
cap and Suburban, and from 1880 to 1899
they were virtually kings of the American
turf. Their phenomenal success was large
ly due to the fact that they personally su-
perintended the training and care of their
own horses.
Among the famous flyers owned by
Dwyer Bros, besides Rhadamanthus, were
Hanover, Miss Woodford, Virgil, Dewdrop,
Panique, Barnes, Hindoo, Richmond, Ire
mont. Inspector B, Sir Dixon and numer.
Gus others.
Personally Philip Dryer is conservative.
and it is said never makes bet above $500.
Michael Dwyer on the contrary is one Of
the boldest and best known 'plungers" in
America. 1t is said that he once wagered
and won $4,000, at odds of to /, on Joe
Cotton. Mike" is as stoical as an Indian,
and be his winnings or losses ever so great
his face never reflects his feelings. Philip
Dwyer, Jr., is II years of age and a finished
Ie-Ee,nan.

THE LEWIS DAM Still.

The Lewis dam business was in court
again yesterday in one of its many phases,
and from appearances this is but the be
ginning of the having. The compromis-
ing scheme seems to have fallen through
and there seems to be nothing left but an
appeal to the courts. The city proposes TO
get possession of this water power by con.
demning it for the purpose of flushing the
sewers, but in the meantime Mr.. Lewis
wants TO rebuild his dam. which was de
stroyed by force. The city wants every
thing left as it is until after they have con-
cluded the condemnation proceedings:
hence this action. Some time back the
court issued a restraining order to pre-
vent Mr.. Lewis from rebuilding or repair
ing the damage TO his property, which or
der is still in force.
Judge Reed sat in chambers yesterday
afternoon TO attend TO the case. Mr.. Lewis
was represented by MeSsrs Campbell and
Dyer and Attorney T. {. Wilson. the city
attorney appeared for the city Mr. Lewis
comes into court on motion TO vacate and
set aside the restraining order praying that
he no longer be interfered with in the en-
loyment OF his water privilege. The city
contra asks that the restraining order
be made perpetual Quite a number OF
witnesses were examined out of the twenty
that were SubpWuaed. and the case was
continued until next Saturday for further
hearing. In the meantime more witnesses
are 10 be subponaed and the case Is likely
10 occupy the courts some time.

vention met in the court room and selected
| Dave NJ Dale as chairman and William
Boon secretary. They declared they in
tended to have man who would defeat
George L. Douglass.

son would come as near getting there as
any man / know of.
Mr.. Bird said he would nominate ]. y.
Haymaker
Haymaker said he wouldn't be candidate
against Mr.. Mathewson.
Shearer again appeared and said he was
not delegate but Mr. Mathewson being
nominated would cause the Peoples party
nominee to get out of the way Mr.. Piatt s
nomination wonld also knock out the Peo-
pies party nominee.
There being no other nominations
Mr.. Mathewson was nominated by
reclamation and Simrall Osborn
and Stockinger were sent on a scouting ex-
petition to find Mr. Mathewson, presum-
ably to find out if he would accept the
nomination.
Mr. Matherson arriving thanked the con-
vention, and said he would carry the ban
ner and do the best he could. He had
battled the Indians and wanted rest, but
if the boys would follow him, he never
having been whipped in his life, he would
guarantee victory.

city assessors office in the court house, and

lish and VIM. Ebey named P. V. Healy.
The ballots were being counted and Healy
appearing to have the best of it Carson
made the unanimous" motion. Healy
had no doubt but that his rest-Up in poll
tics had made him a good runner and he
would certainly throw the dust in Joe
Henley's eyes.
The same delegates being expected to
name candidate for commissioner in the
First district. They nominated Charles
Duncan who had a box of cigars ready
with supplement by Healy made enough
to 90 around.

DO DOGS HAVE MlNDS7
Strange Stories of the Power of Magnet

Strange Stories of the Power of Magnet
ism Over Dumb Brutes.
Even Mr.. Jingle and Mr.. Jesse never
though: of applying animal magnetism
to sporting dogs. But this is part of
1.-The Scientific Education of Dogs" as
practiced and taught by "H. H" Il
have held a lot of dogs by the magnetic
power Of will from doing wrong hun
dreds OF yards away from me, says H.
H." and he adds that if he unbent his
mind by making a remark TO a friend
power of the human eye, he thinks, that
acts thus, for how can the eye act at a
quarter of a miles distance? He might
shut his eyes and try if the magnetic
power still lasts. FTo be a first rate dog
breaker man must have lots of animal
magnetism" which, according to this
philosopher, is developed by force of
will But what is will, or is it form
of magnetism"
Even in dog breaking we reach at once
the debatable land of metaphysics, and
are embarked on Schopenhauer's specu-
lations before we know it. OF animal
magnetism exercised by the rider on the
horse little need be said. The man may
influence the beast by contact uncon-
sciously, not by will force" 1t is diff
ferent when H. H." turns distant dog
from a particular corner of field by
simply wishing with all his force. The
whip and the will had better be kept
separate as much as may be, and some
dogs answer to the will which merely
sulk under the whip.
The cleverest of n. II. s" dogs was a
retriever. He was fishing in her COM
pany, caught his fly on stump of the
opposite bank. sent the retriever across
the water for il. and she brought IL
safely. When friends fly caught in a
bough of a willow some feet above the
water, the dog swan across, climbed
into the top OF the bush, jumped, fastened
on the bough as she fell, bit it through,
and restored the tackle.
The dog was sent for wounded NAL
lard which was swimming below the
ice. She ran eighty yards down stream,
broke a hole in the thin ice, and waited
Ike = cat at a mouse hole. There she
caught the mallard as he came up 10

is reason: But some other power must
have been exercised in the following
case: H. H left his dog at the front
door of house. with q friend 10 watch
its proceedings. He himself left the
house by the aid OF ladder set against
a high window in the back and walked
away. The dog began 70 Be uneasy as
soon as the master had thus escaped, and
was with him in FIVE minutes.
Could he have been guided by smell or
was he attracted by animal magnetism:

A Sketch of the Famous Racing Firm
Which Recently Dissolved PartnershiP.
After Oct. Is next, when Dwyer Bros.
finish their last race Of the present season,
the red jacket and the blue sash, for four
teen years symbols of victory on the turf,
will fash under the wire for the last time,
and the career of the greatest racing firm
America ever knew will have closed.
Philip Dwyer, the senior member of the
firm, announces that the dissolution was
by mutual consent, and was prompted by
no i'll feeling. 1t is limited, however, that
Michael Dryers daring ''plunges" have
not for some time past met with the ap-
proval of his more conservative brother,
and that this disagreement was the true
cause Of the dissolution Each member of
the firm will continue in business, how
ever, and Philip Dwyer has associated with
himself his son, Philip Dwyer, Jr.
The career of this famous firm COM
menced in 1876, and has extended over a
period Of fourteen years, during which
stakes and purses amounting to over ST.
10000 were won. In 1885 the Dryers
broke the worlds records on winnings, the
net sum captured that year being 500, lee.
Prior to 1876 the magic name of Dwyer
was unknown on the turf. At that time
the brothers were the proprietors of Q

WICHITA HOGS IN HUTCHINSON.

Mr.. Cook, of Stewart & Cook, returned
yesterday from the Hutchinson fair, where
he had been with small exhibit of hogs.
1t is needless to add that he captured a
hoggish share of blue ribbons. First, on
best SOW of any age; first, on sow years
and over: first, on boar year and under .;
first, on herd under year; first, special
for any hog scoring the highest number of
points, being the biggest prize offered by
the association.
Second on boar . years and over; second,

DIAMOND PIN RECOVERED.

A valuable diamond pin belonging TO
Mr. J. H. Alley was stolen some time ago,
and Chief Burrows and his force have been
on the lookout for it. Last night their eff
forts were rewarded, and both the pin and
and thief were captured. Officer Parks
noticed a colored girl who was formerly a
domestic at Mr.. Alleys, trying TO dispose
of something OF value TO the jewellers and
reported the matter to Chief Burrows,
who watched her for awhile and finally
made the arrest and secured the pin.
