IT is wonderful what an effort is being
made by the Gest newspaper shouters to
have the matter of the suit of the ex-con-
gresham against our tax payers settled
to the advantage Of the plaintiff in order
that he may go before the republican
congressional convention for re-nomina-
ton. Realizing as they do that Gest per-
mitted his vindictive spirit toward every
body over his humiiiating defeat two
wears ago to lead him to make bad break
in suing the city simply because popular
improvement, in the benefits Of which all
share, happened to OBJECT him personally.
they find. the next besithing to do is to jus
tify Gests course and consequently have
taken up his side against the people. They
have commenced giving City Attorney
Haas '.pointers" on what his course should
be legally--as well as politically-and
have gone so far as to quote legal author
ity to sustain Gest's side of the case.
Fortunately our court trials are not con-
Quoted through the newsp ,pers. and THE
ARGUS fails to discover why sNch tri-
bunal should be constructed to establish
precedent in the Gest case.

OUR JACK.
How n Little Boy Turned the Heads of
Whole Camp.


Whole Camp.
Just at the break of day one summer
morning some hunters camped on the
headwaters of the Jefferson river heard
firing and yelling at a crossing below.
They turned out to a man and made all
haste 1t was they expected. A lone
emigrant family, driving up the valley sin
search of a spot to call home, had been at
tackled by the Indians. The father lay
dead-dead were three or four half grown
children-while the wife and mother had
put her back to a rock and with AK in
hand was defending her youngest offspring
"a bit of boy about three years old
whom she had snatched from the wagon.
She was dying woman as the hunters
came up. Those red devils had fired
dozen arrows into her as she stood like
tigress at bay, but the boy hiding at her
feet was untouched.
1t was two days later when the hunters
came into our camp at Strawberry Hill,
and one of them had little Jack on his
shoulder. They had buried the bodies
the Indians had secured all else. They
were bound to the north, and were ready
to hand the little chap over to the first
camp which would take him. And yet
not quite ready. There were over n hun

THE WICHITA REUNION.

From the Hutchinson News
On Monday of next week will begin,
at Wichita, the annual reunion OF the
veterans of the state of Kansas. These
reunions are always looked forward to
by the ''old boys" with good deal OF
pleasure. and this one will be no excep-
ton to the rule. Wichita will be ID gala
dress, and all may expect good time.
Every old veteran who possibly can,
should spend at least one day with his
old comrades in arms. They should go
and fight their battle over again: tell
where they killed the old grander for
kissing at the flag; gathered In tile cid
drake for ''quacking" at the regimental
surgeon as he rode along the road; killed
the sheep that ''bit" him; the rooster
that crowed out of time, thus disturbing
the colonel; the hog that would not take
the oath Of allegiance, ETC., and how
such battle was lost and another was
won.
Do all these things, and above all look
at the political situation. Compare the
parties and the men now in the field
asking for your votes. Which will be
likely to do you and your country the
most good in congress Anthony or Harris?
Whether you had better for the next
four years trust Benjamin Harrison or
Grover Cleveland. Talk these matters
over as comrades and decide for your
selves.
If you do this the News has no fears
as to where you will he found in No
vember. Politics is second nature to the
old veteran, and he looks at it from the
standpoint of patriot, therefore the
old soldiers will be very likely to talk
patriotic politics. 1t is hoped that all
the old soldiers O. who are said to have
stood up in the recent Wichita conven-
ton and proclaimed it to be 1.-THE proud
est moment of our lives to second the
nomination Of Colonel Harris for con-
gressman-at-large for Kansas" will be
there to repent. The cheap rates are
favorable and every body can go.

We note that few of our state ex-

and it must be allowed that its editor
has a mind of his own, and isn't afraid
to speak it, even in criticism of what he
considers questionable methods and poll

may be, the Record is level-headed in
this declaration:
"While the improvement of Kansas
roads is a matter which deserves inn

taken that no one is elected to either

TO SCANDALIZE KANSAS.

Hon. E. NJ Hewins, the famous cattle
man, and Democrat, speaks with the
utmost contempt of fusion and of jerry
Simpson. Complaint is made that the
Republican press gives too much atten-
ton to Jerry and the Leases, but we are
ignored when they represent what is
claimed to be majority of the people
of Kansas, at least SO strong following
as to cause sensible and reputable people
to view with alarm the possibility of this
shallow fraud and silly clown in the
United States senate. Mr.. Hewins says:
Il have known Simpson ever since he
was resident of Medicine Lodge and
before he accepted the position of mar
shall, which a respectable cowboy would
not take, feeling himself above it.
Ia all the time [ have known him
never knew him to do anything
to merit the respect of anybody. He
is shrewd politician and has no
more faith in the beliefs Of his
party than a Hottentot. He is absolute
ly without political principles except as
they will further his own ends. l am
Democrat, but if the Democrats of the
Seventh district indorse the nomination
of Simpson l, for one, will not abide by
any such an arrangement, and l know
of hundreds of others in the district of
my way OF thinking. Simpson is too
bitter pill to swallow. l am opposed
to the policy of fusion which is being
carried out in Kansas and thousands of
Democrats throughout the state will not
vote at all. They will stay at home and
let the two other parties fight it out be-
tween themselves, but above all things,
we in the Seventh district will not swal-
low Simpson, and do not think he can
be elected without the votes of large
number of Democrats. He has made
Kansas the ridicule OF the whole coun-

Palo Alto, the king of stations, won
his crown on the kite-shaped track at

he covered a mile in 2:06%. The per-
formance was a surprise even TO adj
mirers OF the princely stallion, as il was
thought he had done his best work

tober with record of 2:121l, but Mar
win reduced the mark in three races
against time and on November ? low
cred it to BOOK, only a quarter of
second slower than the worlds stallion
record, held by Allerton. November
16, the day set by Marvin for the last
trial, the track was lined by envious
horsemen who had been tryiRg TO crowd
Marvin out Of the Palo Alto stable.
The great horse had gone TO Stockton
lame and limped little as he passed in
review before the crowd lis clip at
the start was nothing furious, but to
the experienced eye it seemed steadier
than usual. He was kept out for fear
of swerve and went to the quarter
post in 0:31il. He kept on squarely
and strong, covering the second quar-
ter in the same time and reaching the
haf-mile post in 1888. Marvin pulled
him back some on the third quarter Of
the race to hold him in reserve speed
for the finish. making the third quarter
a second and a quarter slower in SO and
reaching the three-quarter post in
1861. Marvin held him well in hand
and he made the last quarter without
whipping in 9:32jS. going under the
wire in 2:0sX. The old horse then
went back to Palo Alto. where he has
since remained.
