SENATOR GILLETr TALKS.

Senator Frank Z. Gillett of Kiugman
was in the city last evening at the Carey.
The senator was feeling pretty well over
the result of the election in general, al
though the enemy, the Calamityites,
carried Kingman county. The senator
was more talkative than usual, and stated
to an EAGLE man that things looked very
bright for the Republican party in his
county. He states that, in his opinion,
the Republican party will carry the county
by handsome majority next year. There
has been great falling off in the Alliance
vote in Kingman county. The calamity
GROWERS have been gradually losing
ground and in the course of a year will
have run their race. In support of what
he says, Mr.. GilIett cites the fact that last
year the Alliance candidate for repre-
sentative was elected by majority of
over eco, while the majorities of the diff
ferent men elected on the Alliance ticket
this year range from 80 to 125 The back
bone of the Alliance is broken in this state
and capital will again turn towards Kan
sas and prosperity reign again. The AL
lance people recognize their refrigeration,
and, in consequence, feel pretty blue.
They had expected to lose some strength
this year, but the results have been a sur
prise to them.

LrnGE REED SURPRISED.

Yesterday Judge Reed was taking a rest
on his sofa in his private room at the
court house, and was half asleep when
a faint knock was heard on his door. The
knocker was invited in and to Judge
Reeds great surprise it was a blussing
maiden who entered, followed by a trem-
bling youth The judge put on his best
smile, but before he had time to say a
word they requested him to marry them.
This was complete surprise to the judge,
for he never before was called upon to
perform the ceremony and As he never ex-
pscted to be he hadn't studied his piece
He was very much embarrassed and
afforded a great deal of amusement to
John Martin aud few lawyers that had
come in in the meantime. He frankly
stated to them that he was not in a
position to tie the knot with as much
neatness and dispatch as the occasion
merited. and recommended Judge Buckner
for his ability in such matters and per-
sonallv escorted them 10 Mr.. Buckner
and watched the ceremony with great
deal OF interest so as to be prepared TO
accommodate the next young couple who
might want him TO do the splicing act
for them.

How Insect. Produce Their sounds.

While the notes Of insects are among the
loudest, and supposed by many to come
from the mouth, they are In reality instru-
mental = in other words, produced by
various musical instruments with which
nature has endowed them, yet to some ex-
tent they correspond TO the vOice OF other
animals, the sounds and calls being an
swered by others of their kind. When the
grasshopper wishes to hail some compan-
ion or talk to his fellow over the hedge il
simply rubs it's thighs against the fore

finally a volume Of sounds blend and fill

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

The evening before last there was very
exciting runaway on the West Side and
one that would undoubtedly have met
with disastrous results had it not been for
the GOODNESS and nerve of young horse
trader, who modestly declined to give his
name. Miss Greiffenstein was returning
from "A visit to All Hallows academy, and
after having left there one of the lines left
her hands and the horses became frighten-
ed and ran away. They dashed east at Il
terrible gait, but the young lady didn't
lose her nerve, for she held the remaining
line and used it to the best advantage pos
sible Near the corner of Seneca street the
young horse trader met her, and seeing
that her position was perilouS one he
rode after the fleeing team and succeeded
in getting hold of the loose line, but as he
was riding bare back he could not possibly
check the wild team, but by the aid OF the
line kept them in the middle of the road
till they arrived at the Arkansas river
bridge, when he turned tine team up
a ainst an ice wagon and stopped them.
Every one who witnessed it said it was the
most intensely exciting runaway they ever

SCIENCE IN BREAD MAKING.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical society, held in Wash
ington, D. c., the question of the value of
carbonate OF ammonia as a leavening
agent in bread, or as used in baking
powders, came up for discussion, in which
Prof Barker, of the University of Penn
sylvania, and president of the society; DIR.
Richardson, late of the United States De-
partment of Agricultural in Washington;
Dr. VIM. McMurtrie, late Professor of
Chemistry in the University of Illinois;
Dr. f. II. BARLEY, late Chemist of the
Brooklyn, n. Y, Board of Health, and
Professor of Chemistry of the Long Island
College, and others, took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia 1t was stated as fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the flour
more soluble than the original gluten, and
that the bread in which this action was
produced by carbonate of ammonia must
be more digestible and hence more health
full, and because of the extreme volatility
of carbonate of ammonia and its complete
expulsion from the bread in the process of
baking, it is one of the most useful, most
healthful and most valuable leavening
agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. J. w. Mallet, of the Univer-
sity OF Virginia, which show conclusively
that bread made with a baking powder in
which one per cent. of carbonate of am
monia is used, in connection with cream
of tarter and soda, is not only of uniformly
better color aud texture, but "a product
more wholesome, because the ammonia
serves to neutralize any organic or Tactic
acids present in the -four.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The celebrated pianist, Miss Nelly
Stevens, has been secured by the Y. P. ).
c. E of the Central Christian church for
one night only, Thursday, Nov. IL, 1891
Those who have heard this remarkable
lady can not praise her too highly as the
following press notice will show:
The Communications that Miss Stevens
has received from authorities like Listz,
Buelow, Kublak, Moskowki, Scharwenka
and others attest the esteem in which she
is held by the most eminent pianists and
teachers of Europe. In her own country
her success has been equally flattering and
has met with encomiums as laudatory as
those she was crowned with in Europe

SENATOR LONG JrB1LANr.

Senator Long of Medicine Lodge was in
the city last night and he was about as
happy man as there was in town over
the triumph OF the Republican sheriff and
commissioner in Barber county. The Ali
ance made desperate fight on these two
candidates but were unable to beat them.
although they came within about sixty
votes of doing So Both officers were
running for the second term and both of
them, Dobson for sheriff and Stranathan
for commissioner, were Kiowa men. Last
year in Barber county the Alliance had a
plurality of nearly GOO votes which they
claimed to enlarge at the election just
passed. Jerry Simpsons own township
gave big majority TO the Republican
ticket, which fact is considered quite a
black eye for the sockless socrates. Senator
Long says that the Republicans Of Barber
will commence at once their preparations
for next falls election, at which time they
expect TO be able to wipe away the Ali
ance into nothingness in that county.

He claims that he started at o'clock and
that it was a splendid morning for drive,
that everything was looking up. that the

TRYING TO SAVE A NECK.

The Oklahoma City Journal, speaking
about the Clyde Mattox case, says:
can effort will be made to secure a new
trial for Clyde Mattox, recently sentenced
in the Wichita court to be hanged for the
murder of John Mullins. Jan II is the
day designated, but between this and that
time no pasns will be spared to get COM
mutation of his sentence or new trial
The latter will be tried first and an appeal
will be made to the supreme court. One
of the pleas will be that in his speech
against Mattox District Attorney Ady ap-
pealed strongly to the sectional feelings of
the jury am went out of his way to i'm
press upoa them that as many colored
men had been killed in the south they
must bring in a verdict of guilty in this
case to show their disapproval of such af-
fairs A sum of money amounting to S253
has been raised in this city and paid over
to the attorneys to pay the expenses. The
money was raised bT subscription, one
gentleman giving $50 A very great deal
of sympathy Is expressed for Mrs Hatch,
the mother of the young man, and her ex
ertions in his behalf are recognized and re-
spected by every citizen, and all that can
be done will be, more on her account than
on his. He is now in the Jail at Topeka,
to which he was transferred few weeks
ago from Wichita.

Wednesday night but has not been seen

not drinking here, which, it seems, Is one

home. She autographed there to ascertain
whether be had arrived there, but at late
hour had not received reply.
