the meeting Of the Republican State
Committee. at which members of the
new County Registry Board were
selected few days ago, pass without in
duiging in one of its characteristics filings
at ex-J udge r. B. Seymour. The Journals S
claim was that Seymour's connection
with the committee as an advisory mem
ber ceased with the close of the cam
paign and that he had no right to attend
the committees meeting the other day
The fact is that Mr.. Seymour, Carl
Lenz, ex-Congressman Kean and other
well-known Republicans were made an
advisory committee to act with the State
Committee. and that not only Judge
Seymour, but Mr.. Lenz and Mr.. nean also
were there, on the written request Of

MACADAMIZED STREETS.
To the Editor OF the Eagle,

To the Editor OF the Eagle
I desire TO call attention to a plan of
of paving that is cow being discussed by
our citizens, The McAdams process, it
seems TO me, if it be true, as is stated by
some. that street can be paved at one
third cost Of plan now being used, the
matter ought at least to be Investigated by
our citizens and council and bids invited for
that process be advertised for with others
that we may have our Improvements done
well and as cheap as possible, not sacrlhc-
ing durability, cleanliness, etc. The moral
philosopher tells US that we must look
within for substantial and lasting happi-
ness and when we find all right there then
we may expect TO impress our
neighbors and this suggest 70 me
that what is true of an
individual is true Of a people, city or
state in morals or otherwise. l believe if
we will we can make our state as self
sustaining as any in the union. This we
must do by developing the resources that
God has given for our good. Let us go TO
work and cease TO covet our neighbors
wares until we have the cash to pay for
them or home wares to give in exchange
We have sugar fields, salt, coal ana stone
in abundance; let us use them and be con-
tent. The sucker listens no longer to the
syren song OF the boomer, but in the near
future when our neighbors look upon
Kansas free from the tyrant debt and
signs of substance everywhere then our
broad acres will be filed with thrifty citi
zens without our bidding.
The macadam road can be built any
kind of weather, winter or summer. Freez-
ing aud thawing does not injure it. 1t is
an every day road. II desirable the bot
tom of the gathering can be constructed
with it by letting the metal run out to the
curling, thus saving half the cost OF gut
tering. | trust the folks on Waco will see
the wisdom and cheap comparative cost of
this plan and adopt it. And l venture to
say in a short while that street will be the
most popular in the city, and the amateur
trotter viii resort there TO contract his
record in a nutshell.
The Lord has built the foundation of the
world largely with stone and be has given
Kansas her share Of it. Have we the good
sense to use 1t? II. {. I.

FOUND DEAD.

! Yesterday morning the residents in the
neighborhood OF III East Oak street were
| Mortified to learn that Sanford Harrod,
| the janitor of the Oak street school. had
been found dead in his bed. He was an
old man, upwards of "a years of age. but
evidently enjoying ordinarily good health
/ for a man of his yaars. On the preceding
| day he attended to his light duties as
usual and showed no signs of failing
| health. On Wednesday evening he evil
IDENTIFY went TO bed as usual and fell asleep.
| During the silent watches of the night the
| hand of death fell upon him and quietly
unveiled to his mental sight the mysteries
| beyond the grave. He leaves behind one
| son, at present in Oklahoma, to mourn his
| loss. Little is known of his history as be
came to Wichita only a few years
since, but he held the respect
of mis- limited circle of acquaiutances.
| The evidence of the death struggle, which
probably was over in an instant, as he did
not change from natural position. sug-
gested the idea of foul play, but this idea
was at once dispelled on investigation. 1t
is generally believed that he died from old
age. The physician who viewed the re-
mains gave it as his opinion that death
came to him in the early morning and it is
quite possible that he left this world as
painlessly and unconsciously as he came
INFO it, An inquest was held in the L.
s. marshals Office yesterday afternoon be-
fore Justice Mosely. Several witnesses
were examined and the case was conuin-
ued until this morning.
The arrangements for the funeral will

THE INQUEST.
Rebecca s. Amidon being first called
and duly sworn testified as follows: Knew
the deceased to be the janitor Of the Oak
street school; she sent a boy TO his
house yesterday morning who could not
get in. She then sent Charles wilkins,
who forced An entrance through the rear.
She knew of his death at l2:40 p m. Last
saw him at halt past three the preceding
day; he looked TO be fairly well and scrub
bed a little around the stove in the after
noon.
Charles Wilkins being sworn testified
that he first saw the deceased lying on his
bed through the window after being sent
TO the house. It occurred to him that he
was dead and forced an entrance into the
house from the rear. The deceased was
frothiug at the mouth, but saw no signs Of
violence Went back and told first wit
ness and both went over. The front door
proved 10 be unlocked.
J. J. Williams being sworn testified he
was passing the house and was told of the
facts Went IN and took charge of the
remains until the arrival Of the sheriff.
SAW no indications of poison or violence.
Knew that sl.06 was found on the person Of
the deceased. Did not know that any
thing OF greater value had been found.
Did not see any papers or aught else 10
throw any light on the subject.
At this juncture the inquest adjourned
TO be continued again this morning.

A PRISON INSTEAD OF TIE GALLows.

Dave Lemon, whose sentence has been
committed to life Imprisonment by the
president, will leave today with Deputy
United States Marshal McMurray for De-
troit. Mich, where be will be confined.
Although a life term is not a pleasant one
to contemplate one can scarcely realize
how preferable it is to an ignominious
death. Naturally Lemon does not realize
the extent of his punishment in his JOY at
escaping the gallows.
The history of the crime is familiar 10
everybody but the extenuating circum-
stances were never brought out until
recently. Attorney McMechan, although
not originally connected with the trial,
took hold of the case after the death sem
tence was passed and the reprieve that was
granted was largely due to his laborious
work in the prisoners behalf. Since that
time McMechaa has been unremitting in
his efforts to obtain what he believd
was simple justice for the prisoner
Without any prospect of pay he went down
into the territory and found new testimony
and sufficient evidence to fatty contradict
the sincere impression of the prosecuting
attorney at the time of his conviction.
Afidavits were forthcoming TO show that
Lemon was a good soldier and that the
climax was only reached after year or
more Of bad blood between Lemon and his
victim. These affidavits further intimate
that Lemons act wus il self defence, or at
least that he had reason at the moment to
believe il was. This is the day, under the
reprieYe, on which Lemon was TO hang,
but instead be is speeding over the country
by rail still breathing the fresh air Of
Heaven. Although prison is at his jour
ney's end, it is safe to say that he is thank
ful his fate IS no worse.
