REPUBLICAN LEAGUE,

Judge Jewett and Senator Bentley are
back from Topeka, where they have been
in attendance upon the meeting of the
executive committee of the State Republi-
can league. The meeting was held Mon
day evening at the parlors of the Copeland
hotel. The old wheel-horses in the party
from all over Kansas were on hand and
much earnest enthusiasm prevailed
Numerous speeches were made by promi-
nent men. A plan of the next campaign
was outlined and the party will be put in
fighting trim for the campaign of 1892.
The recent vote will be carefully tabu-
lated. and will show large falling of OF
the Alliance vote in the state. Kansas Is
now thoroughly Republican and the re-
ports from all sections of the state showed
this. There was much rejoicing over this
fact, but the battle must be fought, as the
enemy will contest every inch OF the
ground, and use all and every method.
They are, however, badly demoralized and
feel and acknowledge it. The meeting
was considered a profitable and pleasant
one

KANSAS THE BEST.

Hon. S. NJ. Fall of Cambridge, Cowley
county, was in the city last night and
made a pleasant call on the EAGLE. Mr..
Fall lives on neighboring farm to Hon.
Ben Clover but has succeeded in not per-
mitting his politics to be tainted thereby,
for the gentleman is one of the staunchesr
Republicans in Cowley county. He was
very jubilant over the downfall of the
Alliance in Kansas and was particularly
jubilant over its downfall in Cowley
county. He thinks it is the best thing
that ever happened to the state, for he was
in Indiana when the election took place
and the result was received there with
marked appreciation by men of capital.
who had financial interests in Kansas
which they considered in jeopardy while
the Alliance was on the crest OF
the popular wave in this state.
IL was, he SAYS splendid
refutation of the walls of PETER and
Simpson and caused as much delight ir
the east as it did in Kansas. Mr.. Fall is a
large stock raiser and was here looking up
a corn market in which he desired to buy
good deal of corn for to feed his cattle with
this winter. He is a gentleman of shrewd
ness and excellent business acumen and
one who has a strong and abiding faith in
bright and prosperous future for Kan
sas. He has travelled several hundred
miles during the past month and saw no
place with so many evidences of life and
prosperity as Wichita and the Arkansas
valley. Mr.. Fall is an old school mate of
Ex-Governor Steele of Oklahoma and was
elected to the Kansas legislature three
wears ago

COLONEL RoHRBAUeH, NOW.
Governor Humphrey Appoints the Well
known Wichita Lawyer on His STAFF.

Wichita has one more colonel His
name is p. A. Rohrbaugh, and as there is
nothing in the Office but a name it is
hoped by his many friends and admirers
that be shall be given the benefit of the
title on every occasion. Yesterday he re-
ceived the following letter which speaks
for itself
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. TO- 1891.
SIR have the pleasure OF sending you
herewith commission as alde-de-camp,
with the rank of lieutenant colonel, on
the staff of the commande-in-chief
Please fill out the enclosed blank and
subscribe to the oath therein, before any
commissioned officer of the guard or civil
Office empowered to administer oaths.
Also please place upon the second blank
history of all military service rendered by
you either in the volunteer or regular
army or in the guard of any state.
Respectfully, J, \. ROBERTS,
Adjutant General.
Lieutenant Colonel z. a Rohrbaugb,
Wichita, Kan.
When the EAGLE reporter heard of the
laural that had been placed on Colonel
Rohrbaugh's brow yesterday morning be
hunted him up and found him in his Office
the same genial self-contalned Pat he
looked every inch a soldier and as he
strobe over the carpet of his Office TO greet
the representative of the EAGLE, there was
a military grace about mis- movements
that was seen and admired and commented
on by every one of the many
friends who had called to con-
gratulate him. The room, too, pre-
sented decidedly military appearance.
A statuette of Grant was on the mantle
piece, beautiful set OF military traps
which the colonel wore with distinction
when he was captain OF the Berkley
zouaves in West Virginia, hung over the
door, the picture of Napoleon crossing the
snow-clad Alps hung near the window,
while other pictures representing Wash
ington crossing the Delaware and Mad
Anthony Wayne riding down the steps,
hung in another portion of the room. Be
fore him on the table was his commission
signed by Governor Humphrey with the
large golden seal, which every man who
entered picked up and read with admlra-
tion.
Col. Rohrbaugh succeeds Col. Callahan,
VINO recently left the state to seek his for
tune in Montana. The appointment OF
Mr.. Rohrbaugh is conceded by every one
to be a good one, particularly so, at this
time when the United States needs patriots
and heroes so much to scare the frisky
Chillians out of their boots. He will
never cost the state or nation anything In
the line of pension money for it is estima-
ted that no man has lived since the days
of William Tell who could hit him with a
weapon of war Colonel Rohrbaugh
wears his honors modestly and Governor
Humphrey will never regret his act in ap-
nnintinp him.

ABREACH oF PROMISE.

Society will soon have something to dis
cuss that will be relished during the long
winter nights that are approaching. IL is
no more nor less than breach of promise
case in high life particularly high life at
that. The plaintiff is a woman and a
widow while the defendant is single man
who is well known by almost all the peo-
pie of this community as he holds au i'm
portant position in the city. She is not
here at present and the intended victim
of her prosecution will probably not know
what evil times are in store for him till ne
reads it in the EAGLE. The lady is about
% and sweet and buxom while the gentle
man is about the same age. The case was
put in the hands of an attorney in this city
yesterday morning but the papers will not
be filed until the lady returns or at least
gives more specific details of the cause Of
her troubles, Her story is long one and
one that will raise the hair on the gentle
mans head when he casts his optic over
the bill of particulars. The damages ask
ed for will be So, 900 but she will probably
be contented with $4,000 or maybe $10,-
900 The EAGLE will give the particulars
when the case is filed which will probably
be in less than week.

APRosPERous LODGE.

The members of the Sunfower Masonic
lodge met night before last for the first
time in their elegant quarters on the cor
ner of Seneca street and Chicago avenue.
They have rented the hall for term OF
five years and have decorated it hansomely
and have made it in all other respects a
beautiful and comfortable lodge home.
Three years ago the lodge was organized
with twelve members and an indebtedness
of over $500; today it has membership of
20 and has a handsome surplus III the
treasury after having paid for all their
furniture. The first master of the lodge
was DR.. Lawrence who dropped dead in
the lodge room one evening previous to
conferring the degrees on some dis
tinguished citizen of the West Side. The
Doctor was very Jealous Mason and it
was through his activity and earnestness
that the lodge survived its early struggles
and was started on the road to the success
which it has achieved.

TWO FINE HORSES LOST.

Grant Knepplc, the West Side barber,
returned last night after trip OF forty
miles in pursuit of his horses. but he
found no trace nor tidings of them. 1t is
now thought that in their travels they fell
into the hands of horsethieves who appro-
priated them TO their own use and skip
ped for parts unknown. The loss will
fall heavily on Grant a. the horses were
very valuable. one OF them being pur-
chased recently at a cost of 500.
