The people are still declaring for
tariff reform and against the Force
bill. At special elections in Ohio
last week, to ill two vacancies in
the State Senate, the Democratic
candidates were elected by greatly
increased maiorities. The tidal wave
last November was not spasmodic
effort. 1t was the outburst ofstrong
popular feeling that had been grow
ing for a long time and which will
not relax until the Democracy has
had full and free opportunity to test
its policies.

DEATH OF JUDGE AMOS HARRIS.

The very familiar figure of Judge Amos
Harris has been missed of late from our
streets. His tall form and rugged face
will never be seen again in the old haunts.
nor his earnest greetings heard. After
several weeks confinement he died yester-
day morning at the home of his son on
Oak street. His has been a busy and an
eventful life, and long and an honorable
one. But at last his hands have been
gently folded, for his labor is done; his
footsteps will come and go no more, for
his race is run; his active brain and his
kindly beating heart have stilled their i'm
pulses, and that which we recognized as
lie went out and away leaving his once
eager eye visionless and his persuasive
tongue dumb. Honor, the law of kings,
was his, ever his, under all conditions and
In every phase of life. Full of years, full
of honors; at peace with the world and
commanding the respect of his fellow
man, and firmly lodged in the hearts of
children and children's children and of
all other bound to him by the ties of life
and consanguinity, he goes quietly and con-
hdently to his rest, regretted and mourned
by the entire community.
Inc funeral services will be from the
residence of Kos Harris, Esq, corner En-
poria and Oak, at o'clock this afternoon,
under the conduct Of Rev. Winters of the
First Presbyterian church, where the
Judge had been a regular attendant and
we believe communicate, for years
Judge Amos Harris has had an eventful
life, one in which many responsibilities
and honors have been crowded. In legis-
ative halls, on the floors of constitutional
and political conventions. on the bench of
two states and before the bar of many
courts be has stood acceptably and hon
orably. No words of ours could add TO
the luster of his name, to the glory of his
deeds or TO the value of his services
They are the proud heritage of his family
and his friends

OHuRCH GKOMTH.


At last Sabbath mornings service in the
First Presbyterian church. eight persons
were welcomed TO church fellowship. max
ing fifty-fve additions to the members hip
of the church in the three months, since
the first Sabbath in November. Since Mr..
Winters assumed the pastoral charge of
the church, upwards OF year and nine
months ago. there have been accessions to
its membership every month, except three.
During one Of these months the pastor was
ILL., During another be was away on a
vacation During the other GoOpportunity
was offered persons TO unite with the
church. Many of those received during
the past three or four months were persons
who brought letters from churches in at
least six different states, a fact which indi-
Gates that people are coming from differ
ent parts of the country TO make their
home in Wichita. Mr. Winters says that
while he regrets the loss to his congrega-
ton Of a considerable number Of excellent
people who have left the city TO find homes
for themselves in other parts. the number
of new people who have come 10 it from
outside the city has been much larger than
the removals.

THEIRIsH EMPERANcE ORATOR AGAIN.

Mr.. VI. J Tanning, the gospel temper
auce revivalist, gave one OF his most
eloquent lectures in the Central Christian
church last Sunday night. His audience
though not as large as was expected, was
a very sppreciative one, and was quite
fair in size, considering the mistake made
another mistake Of the printeT-in an
nouncing the lecture for March /, instead
of Feb J. His discourse was founded on
the words Of Christ a. recorded in
Matthew IS: =: "Woe unto the world
because of offences, but it must needs be
that offences come; but woe 10 that man
whom the offence cometh."
Mr.. Tanning dwelt largely with the
moderate drinker and the Christians who
zee no need Of signing a temperance
pledge. His lecture was the subject OF
unstinted praise from those who heard
him for the first time on this occasion.
and the verdict was that be is peculiarly
adapted TO this work: and for the good OF
the temperance cause it is suggested that
the pastors in the city who want a gospel
temperance revival in their churches can
do good work by inviting Mr. Tanning
into their pulpits.

SATURDAYS SHOOTING NEAR CHENEY

From Mr.. G. w. Kent, Jr., editor of the
! Burton Graphic, who was visiting his
! father in the western part of this county
! saturday, near where the Seger- Hudspath
shooting affray occurred Saturday after
noon, and who was in the city yesterday
enroute home an EAGLE representative
learned the following particulars of the
/ unfortunate occurrence. 1t seems that
/ Seger had missed hog from his premises
and for some reason suspected Hudspath
of having it in his possession. He accord
ingly procured search warrant and plac-
I ing it in constable John Sanders hands
accompanied him to Hudspath's place
Seeing the officer and Segar approaching
his house Hudspath took his shot gun in
hand and went out to meet them. What
passed between the men, or whether any
thing was said or not, is not positively
known; but something caused Seger to
suspect that Hudspeth meant to shoot
him, and, drawing his revolver, he opened
fire on Hudspeth and striking with epch of
three shots that he fired before Hudspeth
returned the fire. Hudspeth fired only
once, the shot taking effect in Seger's
pistol hand. The first of Seger's shot
struck Hudspeth in the breast, but the
ball did not enter the flesh; the second ball
lodged in his left leg above the knee, and
the third in his left side just below the
ribs.
DR.. 3. I. Shippy, of Garden Plain. was
called 10 the wounded men He found it
necessary to amDutate two of the fingers
from Seger's wounded hand. and the whole
l..f, 4 L ~ a.
injuries, the one in the leg was flesh
wound and is not very serious, but the one
in the side is a very serious one and may
prove fatal The wounded men are at
their respective homes.
Seger's suspicious about his hog seem to
have been unfounded as the missing animal
has since been discovered on another place,
whittier it had strayed
The circumstances indicate that the diff
Guilty was the outcome Of bad feeling
that existed between the men for
some time. Hudspath does not explain
why he went out to meet the officer and
Seger with his gun in hand, though he
disclaims any intention of using it, and
only fred when he had been shot at three
times 10y Seger
The officer who was present at the time
was taken so completely by surprise. it
seems, that he was unable to interfere in
time to prevent the shooting, and both
men being seriously wounded, no arrests
were made.
Frank Seger Is a son of Mrs. Frank Yike
who lives near this city on the West Side
Mr.. Yike received a telegram Saturday
night informing him that Seger had been
shot, but it gave no particulars, and the
statements given out concerning the
shooting were mere guesswork and had
very little of truth in them bavond the
fact that Seger was shot. Mr.. Nike went
out to Seger's Sunday morning, and had
not returned last night
