COMMISSIONER CARTER RESIGNS.
He Fut the F,nishiug Touches ON Eis Re-
port which somehody Else p epnred.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Thomas II. Garter.
the recently chosen Chairman OF the Republi-
can National Committee. is no longer Com
missioner Of the General Land oflice, having
resigned to DAY.
Just before going to the White House to
present his resignation Mr.. Carter dropped
into the Interior Department and put the nm
ishing touches to his annual report, which
will now be promulgated as the browning work
OF his administration II the Land Department
There seems to be no doubt that Mr.. Carter
has made n good Commissioner, but his
method Of leaving the de partm ant affords .
good illustration Of tho way the public busi-
ness Ia managed by the officials in charge Of
It. Mr.. Carter has not been in his office. ex-
cept for q fow minutes at q time, for nearly
two months.
All this timo he has been attending strictly
to political business, and somebody else has
been preparing the report which now Zoos to
the public as his work. All Government otfl-
cials in Washington are In the habit OF per-
forming their duties by. proxy. and So It is
hardly iair to find fault with Mr. Carter on
The discover. has been made that Chair
man SaLter Is Roman Catholic. and the most
sons to have him state whether tho Charge Is
true
Mr. Carter. however. is one OF the politicians
although 1t is well known 70 his friends that
no Is a good and co. .sistent Roman Catholic,
they cannot be prevailed upon to " ake q state
ment with or without his authority. He does
not wish the mattor OF his religious views to
be made q political question.
Since Mr. Carters election as Chairman,
President Harrison has repeated to his friends
what he has frequently said OF late, that he
intends to take pers onal charge OF his own
campaign and that he means to DO con suited
about every important stop taken by tho Ma
tional Committee.
1t was the knowledge OF this determination
on tho part OF the President TINT caused q
dozen or more 81 the eight, ven Glsn to whom
tho craftsmanship was offered to decline The
President WAS actuated In adopting his "por-
sonnlly conducted" plan no more by n sense OF
his own importance than by the feeling that
tho Executive Committee Is made up very
largely OF strong nti-Harrison men who were
advocates OF PlAines nomination. It may be
that the President fears for his own safety IL
these IN en- are left to their own devices. and
that therefore he means to keep an eye on
them in self-de.ence.
There is general enforcement Of tho selec-
ton OF ex-Rerresentative NcComas OF Mary
land to be Secretary OF the committee. He Is
ayonng popular, enargetlc enth lsiastic man.
a sincere RepubliGan. and loyal fr.erd OF
Harrison. Iic will do what work falls to his
share wit an eye only to Republican success 81.
and II all OF the mon on the committee were as
good Harrison men as Carter and McComa4
are. the President would havo no need to fear
placing him self wholly in their hands. Unfor-
tunately for him. however. they are not. and
he knows It.

THE RAABIP INDUSTRY.

Yesterday young man from the coun-
try brought in ninety-six rabbits and sold
them in three lots to that many meat mar
kets for a sum aggregating 81 65 He kill
ed all of them himself since the snow be-
gan falling, which IS said to be the best
record ever made in this county. He says
that if the snow remains on the ground
for three days longer he will make enough
money on rabbits alone to buy himself a
$50 suit of alothes. THE butchers pay from
to 10 cents for rabbits according to their
size, and sell them for about 10 cents each.
One of them stated to a reporter last
night that his rabbit trade was the lveli,
est feature of his business for the past few
days. He sells on an average fifty of them
a day. He says rabbit stew and rabbit pot
pie are becoming very popular even among
the upper crust of society, and that be
sells as high rs five of them at a clip to
private families.

wo Gangs OF Burglars Fitted Out in Wichita
This Week.

The wise householders of southern Kan
sas will do we'll to pay more than usual
attention to the fastening Of their house
doors for some time to come, and business
men aud bankers will also act wisely by
taking extra precautions against burglars.
Two gangs of burglars have been fitted
out in this city during the past week and
they are now, no doubt, in the field plying
their nefarious work The police got On
to them yesterday by finding out where
two full sets of burglars tools have been
made, and they are very anxious to
call the attention of the people
TO the dangers that threaten them from
this class of vagabonds In the meantime
Chief Burrows is on the alert, and it is
not at all improbable that. certain clews
which have been furnished him will result
in some good. He already knows some of
the parties and is busily engaged sending
out information to other peace officers
about them. Some of the parties are still
in town and they are being watched so
closely by the police that it is impossible
for them to do any work with safety in
this city. The indications are that they
will not attempt to do any work in. Wich-
ita, as their plans seem to be arranged for
the robbery of country houses and especial
ly country stores.

DISTURBED THE PEACE.
Two Women Arrested at the Salvation Army
Meeting tOr Laughing

The thermometer will register sever al
degrees lower than it did last night on the
day that the notorious Mollie Cramer is
not heard of in some escapade. Yesterday
she actually got religious spell on her
and determined she would do better. She
got Belle Jones to help her in the good
work. and they went to the Salvation
Army meeting. AS Molie and Belle had,
for some reason unknown, not been
in the habit of going to church for Ii
long time it may be they had forgotten
the proper form of worship. Anyway
they thought the correct way 70 show
their appreciation of the services was to
laugh at it as heartily as they would at
the back number jokes in a minstrel show
and were surprised when they were in
formed by a member of the army that they
were disturbing the meeting.
This angered them, they forgot their
good resolutions and talked loud and
much until they were asked to leave
the room. In the meantime B. W. Dan
iels, a member of the army, had gone for
policeman, and asked him to arrest them
for disturbing a religious meeting. AS
the crowd that had gathered around the
women on the sidewalk did not think the
disturbance had been very great, the Off
Ger declined to arrest them unless the pros
ecut!ng witness would accompany them to
the station which he did.
When Molly found she was about to be
locked up she forgot her religion for
while and dropped some words that sound
ed much like those DR.. Parkhurs heard
when he went Summing. She happened
to have with her the s. note that she prob
ably intended dropping in the tambourine
when it should be inverted and passed
around AS contribution box and her COM
panion had one of the same denomination
and they cheerfully left them with the
night watch until they should come
around at Q o'clock this morning aud prove
to Judge Museller's satisfaction that they
were not all wrong this time.

:PREsBYTERIAN CHCKCHES.

A very satisfactory congregation greeted
DR.. Winters at the First Presbyterian
church last night, despite the unpleasant
condition of the streets on account of the
snow aud ice.
The pastor chose for his theme the story
of Jacobs ladder. Christ" he said, lis
symbolzed by the ladder. Sin made a
great chasm between earth aud heaven,
but Jesus has reunited them, and wher-
ever man is, that ladder is raised by God
that he may climb 10 heaven;
sure way. for God is its maker.
AS God talked with that wanderer in the
desert, He follows and calls now those
that stray from Him. But Jesus is the
only true Ladder. though there are many
that are false. Journalism is false lad
der, as is also mere morality. They are
weak and will not bear you. Your only
safety IS in taking firm hold on the true
Ladder. freeing your hands of everything
else, turning your eyes upward and climb
ing on without a stop"
The services closed with the singing by
Mr.. Shaver of Throw Out the Life Line.
Tonight the services will be shorter, and
those that desire will be received as mem
bers after the close of the meeting,

consequence the stop here WAS brief, much
shorter than was Intended. a number of
our citizens, headed by Hon. c. W. Glenn
ent, were at the depot TO greet the eXcur-
sionists, and advantage was taken OF the
few minutes stop to present the points of
vantage of Wichita for grain elevators and
as the locality for concentration of the
grain Of Southern Kansas for export via
the gulf. aud with good effect, as WAS evil
danced by expressions from members of
the party.
The excursion party is composed of fifty
capitalists who are back Of the new gulf

push the work of securing ample depth of

BUNCoED ON THE TRAIN.
A Wichita Man Ran Up Against Il Big Hand
on Frisco TRAN.

Night before last well known Wichita
artist was greatly excited on East Douglas
avenue, and running wildly from place to
place, locking for policeman. He at last
found Officer sutton and complained to
him that he had been robbed on a Frisco
train and that the thieves were still at the
depot. Officer Sutton made haste 10 the
depot and there found the men whom the
artist complained of, and N his conversa-
ton with them ascerte!ned that the rob-
bory was no more nor less than plain
game of poker, in which The Wichita
artist lost the sum of So. This was
acknowledged to be the.case by the artist
but ne said he had wife aud family TO
support aud could not afford to lose the
money. Out OF compassion for him one of
the alleged thieves gave him back SIS aud
the matter was squared. The artist coming
in over the Frisco train mixed in with
some strangers in a game, OF euchre and.
of course, during the game the parties
would comment on their hands from
poker standpoint, and finally the artist
said he had a hand that he would like 10
play poker with. Another said he had a
poker hand that he would risk s25 on.
Quicker than lightning the artist had
all his pockets turned inside
out, and s25 in bills, silver and
nickles piled on the board in front Of him.
It was promptly covered. Help the other
fellow said the artist. when the dealer
asked how many" 81 have enough |
believe" said the other fellow, pulling out
another ten and laying it on the board.
The artist said he had no more and called
for show down at the same time laying
down four queens and raking the money
in with giggle. SIS that all you have?"
said the other fellow cody, laying down
four kings and an ace TO niger with aud
raklug in the Doodle with II remark that
queens dou't beat kings even though 1t is
leap year.
1t would seem that everybody in Wichi-
ia ought to know enough not TO bet money
in a strange crowd under such cIrcum-
stances. 1t is an older game than the
shell game or three card monte and yet
suckers will bite AT it.
