ARLINGTON. Oct 2i-tSpeciai 1.-The best and
largest meeting of the campaign was held in
Halter hall saturday night, and although but
short notice had been given, every seat in the
room Was occupied. Chairman l. II. Coon, OF
the Republican central committee, Il. r. Dole
and Herman ". Craven, OF Seattle. were the
speakers. Mr. Dole Is by far the most clog uent
and impressive talker that has yet made his APP
pearauce in Snohomish county. and during his
speech of over all hour the closest attention was
paid. Mr Crayeu paid his respects to the third
party aud instead 81 abusing and holding them
up 20 ridicule, showed tie complete folly of
their platform by using arguments anu bona
fide statistics. Many Peoples party men who
have been angercd by the attacks of other
Speakers during the campaign were forced to
admit the truth Of Whist Was said. Tho drift of
sent ment which has been IN favor Of the new
parry Is now turning. and from this time on the
good common sense Of the farmers aad lumber
men here IS coming 10 the rescue. Very few
ropuli>ts can now be found anywhere IN this

WHO Is THE FATHER

Sunday afternoon the remains of Den
ME Enloe were laid to rest in the city
cemetery at the expense of Sedgwick
county. The previous Sunday she gave
birth to child and despite the most ear
nest solicitations she would not, even when
death was ct hand. reveal the identity of
the father of it. There is mystery there
somewhere that will be closely investi-
gated if for nothing else but the curiosity
OF a few who have taken an interest in the
matter. She came here two weeks ago
from Oklahoma but could not be pur-
suaded to say what part of Oklahoma she
came from. Neither would she give any
account of her home, her OBJ
ject being, doubtless, to hide
the circumstances of her confinement at
the Wichita hospital The authorities at
the hospital absolutely know nothing
about her, but the EAGLE reporter after
some work in a quiet way is almost will
ing to say that the girl was known at
Caldwell, Sumner county, It is not out
of place to hint here that if those who have
taken an interest in the girl will make in
quiries among the young people who have
grown up in that town they will find out
all about her. Her fathers name is NJ. A
Enlow, and he and her mother separated
some five or six years ago. Her death is
quite sad one and affords a fine subject
for the moralist to ponder over.

A LETTER FROM RUSSIA.

| The efficiency OF honest John Wanne-
makers postal service was splendidly illus
trated in this city yesterday and the first
one that noticed it with the most ncute
establishment was Hon. Pat Healy, who
| by the way, is sympathizer of that un-
trained political party that wants 10 take
the reins of the government, including the
post office department, out of the hands of
the party that has given us system OF
mail handling under which it is
possible for the incident referred to to
| happen. Miss Annie Rather, Russian
young lady living near Mr.. Healy's re-
ceived a letter from her friends in the
! Cars land and which was mailed there
| about three weeks ago. The only address
on that letter was North America, sos
5. Emporia, Anna Rather" No separate
and distinct country in North America
was named, the name of no state was
given. neither did it have any suggestion
of the name of the county or city in which
she lived. If letter with such meagre
address arrived in any country in
the world except the United States
it would be fired into the dead
letter office and thence into the waste
basket. The average American, and es-
| pecially those who go with great progress
sive Republican party. take pride in do
ing something difficult and Instead of the
clerks in the New York postoffice firing
this epistle, which was bearing to Miss
Amia news from those she loved in the
cars realms, into the dead letter Office
they sought to find her and place the docu-
ment in her hands. Just imagine great
plutocratic administration, as the
Peoples party call it, undertaking
to use all the resources of its most
important department.. to pick a poor
Russian exile out of 65 100000 of people
and placing in her hands little package
of news from ones she loved. The under
taking was successful aud it required
only three days for the department to
search from Florida to Alaska, and from
Maine to California for the one to whom
it was addressed. With that common
sense which is characteristic of Repub-
lcans, the clerk in New York marked
with a blue pencil on the envelope
TRY Emporia, Kansas" When the let
ter came to Emporia the same common
sense prompted the Republican postmas-
ter there to take up his pencil and write
on the envelope, "Try Emporia avenue,
Wichita" When the letter was received
here the third day after it was stamped in
New York the Republican postmaster
here turned it over to a clerk and in ten
minutes the letter was in the hands of
Miss Rather. Did anybody see such a
thing as this occurring in the "good old
Democratic days before the war:' Did
anybody hear of such thing occurring
during that Democratic period betw cen
1885 and 1899 when, in many instanc +, It
took letter ten days Co come from b. IL
sas City to Wichita with even the most
perfect directions. Will anybody ever see
see such a record if the Peoples party gets
hold of the government

A GOOD MEETING,

Despite the threatening weather and
considerable rain falling in Minneha town
ship on last Saturday evening fair sized
audience turned out TO hear speeches
made at Centre school house on that occa-
sion. The first speaker was John Davis,
the popular and accomplished uominee
for county attorney. Mr.. Davis is pleas
ant speaker, perfectly at home on the floor.
and speaks in a manner that carries con-
viction 10 his andierce. His speech was
well received. Colonel Hallowell was
then introduced aud held the close
attention of his audience for
nearly two hours. His address
was most exhaustive. covering all OF the
great questions of the hour. The tariff,
the railway rate question. aud the money
question were fully. carefully and elo-
quently discussed. His closing sentences
were met with calls TO continue. Senator
Bentley closed the meeting with a short,
earnest speech. His theme was the
maximum freight bill, which he disected
carefully. If any one thinks that Bentley
is not up on this question, they are mis-
taken. All in all, the meeting was most
interesting one and lasted from $50 to
midnight

Yesterday was labor day in the city and
inconsistent as it may seem the capitalists
were the only people who celebrated it.
In other words every other institution in
the city was open for business except the
banks and they observed the day by keep
ing closed doors aud putting up the usual
sign This IS a Legal Holiday" Even
THAT great labor organization" the
peoples Party KEEP: open doors and did
business at the old stand as usual, the
candidate for governor being exceptionally
busy. The Commoaer of Mr. Kills, the
labor champion for District Clerk, did not
even pay honor to the day by giving his
laoorius men holiday.
