REPUBLICAN MEETING,
is as follows:

The Republican club of Delano town.
ship held an enthusiastic meeting last
Saturday night at the Petersons school
house. The Delano Republicans are wide
awake and in earnest this year and are de-
termined that the township shall fall back
into the Republican columns by next No
vember.
Some of the Alliance Republicans have
already raturned to their first love and
there are others in the township under
conviction, almost persuaded" to retrace
their erring steps. Mr.. w. A. Carvin, Re-
publican candidate for comfy clerk, and
J. S. Carson were present from Wichita.
Mr.. Carson addressed the meeting for one
hour and quarter, upon the issues OF the
day comparing the condition and growth
of the country under the last 10 years of
Republican rule with the last Is years OF
the Democratic rule, from 1S47 70 1851:
showing the degree of taxation per capita
to be "a per cent, while in England during
the same time it has increased 10 per cent,
per capita Mr.. Carvin was called for and
made few timely remarks, setting forth
the necessity of keeping up the party or
ganization. Mr.. Martinson also addressed
the meeting, showing that the Alliance
party was the result of social condition
of the country which had its origin in
Europe and was not due to any party or
ganization at all. The club adjourned to
meet at the o. X. school house Oct 9th.

THE SCHEME DISCOVERED

The city jail has been built for num-
Der of years now and needs a new floor the
old one having become very badly worn
and rotted. In one place it had rotted
clear through but as a heavy iron plate
covered the floor about it no danger was
thought of and nothing was done about
it,
About 10 O'Clock last night Captain Bed
ford Wood telephoned in to the station
that he had learned of a scheme that was
to be worked to free few of the prisoners
and for the turnkey to investigate the mat
ter and to look particularly at this hole In
the floor. Upon investigation it was found
that this iron plate had been pried
loose, the hole enlarged enough
for man to squeeze through and every
man awake as if waiting for the proper
time.
Their work had been nicely covered with
a blanket and had it not been for some
''friend" of Woods some if not all of the
prisoners would have made their escape.
There can be no doubt but that some one
on the outside was interested h the case,
for tools must have been passed in to the
prisoners and before they could get out
from under the building a lot of rock
would have to be moved. 1t didn't work,
however, and every one of them were
locked in cells for the night.

showed down on his ears, and the cigar
which he always has in bis mouth and
bites occasionally, was talking persua-
sively or boastfully TO another man whose
life is full of pedierees and records.
The thin-shanked jockey stood near in
deep conspiracy with brother knights of
the pigskiu.
So nearly every square rod of the grounds
held some representative of activity or ex
pectant readiness. All afternoon a thou
sand a encies were at work and all last
night the hum of preparation filled the
air, for the fair will open in earnest this
morning and the gates will swing back to
admit a great multitude. In the after
noon the amphitheatre will hold vast as
sembly who will witnesses the beginning
of set of race that have never been
equalled ia in Kansas. Today, tomorrow,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. people
from near aud far will file through the
various halls, finger by various exhibits,
wonder at the tat pigs and the woolly
sheep and with cheer to their hearts con-
tent as a favorite horse comes victorious
under the wire.
The fair grounds were a scene of hustle
and activity yesterday. Everyone could
be seen moving and running hither and
thither in the pursuit of their labor TO get
things arranged, and to properly take care
Of what was brought in. The song of the
hammer and the saw was heard from early
dawn until after the shades of night had
thrown its mantle over the moving forms,
In the morning nothing in the way OF
displays was to be seen but by the noon
hour the various halls and tents were
well filed Ire farmers are taking a
very great interest in the fair and are quite
enthusiastic in their work. The Sgricul-
tural specimens which were brought in
Yesterday were especially fine and the
committee who are here TO gather speci-
mems for the worlds fair were quite elated
in getting the same for the Kansas display
at Chicago.
The officers of the fair are working hard
and the secretary is seen to rush first TO
the right and then TO the left in an aimlsss
and excited sort Of a way. all day long
The officers in the secretary's Office were
engaged the greater part of the day yes
terday in recording entries.
The prominent horsemen who have so
far made entries and whose horses are on
the grounds, for display, are rs follows:
The display horses include stations Of the
different classes, mares. fllies and colts
Those who have made one or more entries
are Geo. Ferrell of Sedgwiek City, u
Scott of Wichita, Jos. Thurman OF Nich-
ita, Black & Watt OF Valley Center, q.
