that when the train pulled up here
the robbers got on the front end Of
the express car. When the coal

taken on, they climbed over the ten

start, after coaling, two of the men
confronted Engineer Ben Young
and Fireman Ed McDouough and
commanded them to stop.

one of the robbers, but the engineer

TO SETTLE 1T BY A VOTE.

AS it now looks as if the Populists had
two United States senators from Kansas.
aud the Democrats none. with the stand
ing of the stalwart COMMITTEES somewhat
questionable, a number of Wichita Demo
Gratis are proposing an election for post
master when Ed Jewett's time is out.
There is more than one good Democrat in
Wichita who think that they would stand
no show of home Demo Pop endorsement,
in the first place. and believing. in the Sec
oud place, that such an endorsement would
amount to nothing, are anxious to try
their strength before the people. That Is
the way they prapose to settle the question
at Winfield. Cleveland wants only Demo
Gratis of unquestionable inciinations and
antecedents for postmasters. therefore
he will not listen to the recommendations
of Jerry Simpson. whom the Democrats
Of Wichita really elected. nor does he
seem inclined to count John Martin as
being a much better Democrat than Jerry.
President Cleveland has his weather eye
on the leading commercial city of Kansas.
We have that fat, and being satisfied
that the Republicans of the city would
support any straight out Democrat in
preference to any ally OF fusion which
gave Weaver the electoral vote OF the
state, be is very much inclined to favor
the Democrat whom majority or large
plurality of the patrons of the Wichita
postofice might indorse by vote. This
would seem very wise and very full OF fun
for everybody except for the crowd who
failing to make joe Allen their candidate
found the Demo- Pop druggist willing, nay
anxious

TALK ABOUT PATRIOTISM.

When q woman is loyal to any cause she
is dreadfully loyal. A we'll known young
lady was engaged to be married April l,
but the ceremony has been postponed a
week. The cause of the postponement is
as follows: About week ago the young
lady's betrothsd, who is an enthusiastic
young Republican, prevailed upon her to
90 to the city clerks Office and register.
She at first refused, but be showed
her. the necessity OF voting so
rs TO be sure to elect
Republican mayor. She got interested IL
the matter for she is the daughter OF
stauuch Republican and next morn
ing she registered. The more she thought
about the matter the more earnest She be-
came and her young lover was tickied all
over at her obedience to his wishes aud de.
sires. He wasn't so dreadfulIy tickled,
however, yesterday when she told him that
their marriage would have to be
postponed for the reason. as she
alleged. that she would have
changed her name before election day If
she married and would rather die an old
maid than fail to vote for Cox. He in
sisted that it was better to lose vote
not see it that way and, in turn. insisted
on the postponement. After a lively low
ers' quarrel they agreed to see d lawyer
and ascertain whether or not she could get
married and vote. too, but the lawyer
couldn't enlighten them as be had never
heard tell of similar case. He thought.
however, that if she would take her
marriage certificate to the polls and throw
herself on the mercy of the judges OF cleo
tion that they would let her vote. She
does not care to take any chances, and so
informed her future husband. He sowed
the seeds of woman suffrage in her heart
and now he regrets it. 1t is safe to say
that among her wedding presents she will
find nice box of the sweetest candy ever
made, with card attached bearing the
legend Compliments of L. II. Cox, mayor
of Wichita"

POLITICAL POINT,

The Demo-Pops having given up all
hopes of electing their mayor are concen-
trating all their efforts in the Sixth ward
to beat John Martin SO as to elect M.
Jackson. There is something uuexplain-
able in the Demo Pops insatiate desire to
always defeat good man. John Martin
is one of the best councilmen Wichita ever
had, as can be proven By the back files of
the mo-Pop organ which gave him that
well deserved title Honest John Martin"
The stalwart or middle of the road"
Democrats received some encouraging
news from Washington yesterday concern
ing the dispensation Of patronage. The
first Office that will be given to a Wichita
man, by the federal administration. will
be given to 'stalwart." There is another
illustration of the truth of the old saying
"Honesty is the best politics" There is
surprise in store for the fusionists.
J. N Haymaker has been selected for
Ben Aldrich's attorney general, if Ben is
not elected. N. will be comforting himself
one week from today with those few popu-
lar lines
OF all sad words of tongue or pen
The saddest of these are lit might have Ben"
OeudboE ILo " bty al ooco hOe ocOui W NC
bothering his head with local Demo-Pop
politics very much. 1t is limited that the
criticisms on the supreme court of Kansas,
by the street corner statesmen have sour
ed, Ed on the whole outfit. The senator is
a lawyer.
In six more days Chairman Tom Cart
wright will be ready to reiterata his
cherished old statement IF God will for
give me for voting the Demo-Pop ticket
this time will promise never to do it
again."
johnson of the Sixth ward is on the pro-
gram for street commissioner under Ben
Aldrichs administration provided John
Farrell gets to be Indian agent. That
would mean two more years OF John
Farrell if Ben is elected, but Ben will not
be elected and the people can breathe
easier

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE.

Coroner McCollister had lost baby on
his hands for couple of hours yesterday.
He held an inquest over her and finally
found where she belonged.
Willard Boone, the county attorney. is
the busiest man at the court house, as
about fifty women come in each day with
grievance, which they wish him to set
tie. The Demo-Pops are awful hot be-
cause Willard will not neglect the public
business to turn out and "slum" for them.
There has not been a marriage license
issued during the past two days, nor a
divorce applied for.
County Clerk Carvin went down to
Clearwater yesterday to spend the day
visiting friends.
Sheriff Ault returned home last night
with Wright, the man whom he arrested
at Red Cloud, Neb., charged with obtain
ing money unner false pretenses.
John Gaia, one Of the prisoners in the
county Jail has secured consignment of
fine cigars from his wife in Oklahoma.
They were made by her own hands from
tobacco grown in Oklahoma. 1t is a
genuine pleasure to get to smoke one of
these cigars while the campaign is 60
ing on.
Judge Reeds health is much improved
and he is now steadily grinding out eight
or ten law Cases each day. The amount
of work the judge accomplishes in day
is simply marvellous.
Judge Balderston was moving his library
cases and other effects from the common
