A SCUEVY LIE.

police circles in very sensational
case at the time His name is kept for the
reason that the Republican policy of a
clean aud honorable campaign will be
pursued to the end. Johu Martin has
lived in Wichita twenty-five or twenty
three years, and no one mas ever intimated
that John Martin has ever been drunk in
Wichita. The fact of the matter is. John
Martin is an absolutely temperate man
and any one who makes statement to the
contrary is uttering deep-dyed false
hood. 1t is pretty tough when man of
John Martins standing in the community
must have his character assailed by a
heeler who IS probably working for the
Demo-Pop committee for dollar day

to such methods as this TO defeat man
who has the general reputation of being as
good a councilman as Wichita ever had.

The fire department was called to the

he did SO on hearing woman screaming

1t appears that a woman known AS

at the beginning Of the present term Of
the United States court, rushed out on the
street screaming at the top of her voice,
and, as she says called for the police; that
she wanted protection and was going to
have it. The policeman said she yelled
fire and he turned in the alarm.
She says she did not yell

been to her room annoying her and she
wanted the police. She yelled to such
effect that Bob Neff who was trying to
get into Hoffman's drug store, says he
heard her so plainly that he thought some.

When 1t came to alarming the city the
woman was bowling SUCCESS, for an i'm

curious seekers for the man in the case.

many people are out late. Where they all
came from it would be hard, no doubt. for
some of them to explain without giving
themselves away at home. The lodges
were all out, every place OF business was

to be at home asleep, but had there been a

A GOOD MEETING.

Tho Republican campaign committee

the result was valuable exchange OF
opinions with reference to the management
of the campaign Everybody congratulate
ed one another on the fact that no Repub-
lican has shown any disposition so far to
throw mud, preferring to leave that to the
irrepressible other side. Tho candl-
dates are in splendid trim to make
a Nancy Hanks race and next
Tuesday night the jaded runners on the
other side will have an opportunity to see
the kind of mettle they had to fight.
The committee were informed OF the
persistant attempts of the other side to
buy votes and workers, but SO far no Re
publican has sold out and the indications
are that mono will. AT least no Republican
in good standing will. Where they have
got all the money from. outside of the
$4,000 or 5000 they have got from the
Populist central committee. is mystery;
but every heller who is seen in the dark
alleys trying to persuade Republicans to
desert their party has a wad of greenbacks
which everybody knows is not his own.
Yesterday one of their candidates was
seen in an alley trying to buy up a
local colored leader. Figuratiyely
speaking. he had him on top
of high mountain. showing
him the Kingdoms of the earth,
