JUDGE srRANG WANTS 4 PoruLrsr.

Judge Strang of harmed, one of the
brainest men in the Seventh district, was
in the city yesterday, having come down
with his daughter who is II student at All
Hallows academy. Mr. Strang took an
active part on the Republican side of the
recent compaigu and like all the good
hearted vauquished he is in favor or the
victors having the spoils. He heartily en-
dorses the position taken by the EAGLE in
saying that the Populist are entitled TO
the senatorial plum and he hopes they
will get it provided, ofcourse, that 1t does
not go to the Republicans. He thinks
George Douglass of this city Will be the
next speaker of the house. While coming
down on the train he met a gentleman
friend of his who stated TO him that Mr.
Campbell of Stafford told him that
be, too, was in favor OF
George Douglass, that he knew
that the house would be organized by the
Republicans for they certainly had ma
jority in it and would be sustained in that
majority by the honest Populists who do
not believe in trickery.
Judge Strang pays high tribute to All
Hallows academy and thinks that the next
term will bring on increased membership
from Pawpee county. AT present there
are six Pawnee county young ladies in the
school, all of them bright young girls,
who are so pleased with the school that
during their vacations at home they do
good deal of missionary work for II among
their young lady friends.

on THE ANXIOUS SEAT.

The average member of the Wichita
police force inst about this time is very
nervous man. The future for him is a
great big interrogation point. He don't
know if he will continue on the force or
not and until that point is settled he is
not at liberty to make arrangents
for engaging in business, and with
the many stories afoat about what
has been done and is going to be
done he can just about be ready to hand
in his club and quit, when along comes
another story that the commission will he
continued as it is and that Governor Lew
cling will have nothing TO do with it.
Then comes the story that a new commits
sion and chief have been agreed upon and
that a clean sweep will be made. The next
conner has story to the effect
that while new commission will be ap-
pointed the governor does not favor put
ting new men on the force and farther,
that the new men will be selected on
merit and not politics. One of them sal
yesterday, Il don't care what they do, but
whatever it is | want to know it, for if l
am TO go l want to make arrange
ments to get into business before
spring opens" They all seem to feel
that ii change will be made, but they are
not all OF the opinion that clean sweep
will. be the rule. why, l will tell you,"
said one Of them yesterday. You just
take all of these men off at once and put
on lot of fellows that don't even know
the names of the principal streets, much
less the people and particularly the crooks,
and this town would be stolen blind the
first week" Some of them will be glad to
leave the force after several years of hard
and, in most cases. thaukless work. Others
have become accustomed to the work and
like it and would prefer to remain on the
force

hospital suffering from partial paralysis.
She came here Monday night from Wei
lingtOn aud was driven to a disreputable
house on East Douglas avenue and in at
tempting to 90 up the stairway fell and
hurt herself, and on being helped TO the
top fell down again nearly to the bottom
of the steps. and when she finally reached
the room Tell against the stove and bruised
her face. She was a stranger here and the
chief of police was sent for, when it was
learned she came to Wichita to have a
criminal operation performed. She final
ly admitted that she had been
taking strong medicines and it was
this that caused the paralysis. She has
no use of her lower limbs or hands. Dr.
ST. John, the city physician, was called
and ordered her sent to the hospital where
she was resting easier yesterday and will
recover. She said she was 20 years old and
tine daughter of a farmer residing in
northwest Missouri. She stated she had
been living in Des Moiues, Ia, and later
in Kansas City and Wellington, and that
a man named Ed Fisher was the aut hor of
her trouble; that he left her at yelling

Wichita and that she don't know where
he is

VAN NESS RESIGNS.
But the Alien Institution VIII BE Sustained
BY the Democrats.

c. A. Van Ness, secretary of the board of
police commissioners. has resigned, and
the Democratic member is now practi-
cally in full control.
Mr.. Van Ness sent in his resignation
yesterday morning to take effect at once
and the expectation is that Governor
Humphrey will promptly accept it.
This leaves ouly one member on the
board. Mr.. Churchward, the other mem:
Der, Frank Shearman. having been de-
capt. tied about a week ago.
II Mr.. Churchward had resigned with
Mr.. Van Ness, in accordance with the
Democratic teaching with reference to
the abuse Of maintaining an alien institu-
ton, it is probable that Governor Hum
phrey would nail up the empty coffin and
bury it forever, and thus satisfy
the Democrats who have been bowling so
long for the abolition of the police commis-
sion board.
1t is said that Mr.. Churchward desired
to tender his resignation to the governor.
but that he was prevailed upon by the
Democratic ring from doing so, as it is
their desire to maintain the board of COM
missioners, now that they can practically

Populists will control this institution,
which they regard as very excellent
political machine in a field that they have
not yet covered, but which they look upon
as good fighting ground in future cam
paigns. In this event, of course, the Dem
ocrats will be soon bowling again for the
abolition of the commission, for they are
deadly enemies against any institution
they cannot control and turn TO their own
use.
Mr.. Van Ness has given out no state
ment of the Causes which prompted him
to tender his resignation.
