Moore Bro hers WI Erect la ge Stove MAX
Ing Indus ry.

Moore Brothers. the stove foundry
men who came to this city some two
months ago and located in the old
Stewart Bros, plant, have already
found their quarters too limited for
them. Their business has increased be
yond ali expectations and the promise
for the future is so great that they are
compelled to abandon their present 10
cation and build a new plant. They
closed a five years lease yesterday on
a tract of ground at the corner of First
street and Fifth avenue, which gives
them $50 feet front on the Santa Fe
track and 90 feet deep. They will at
once commence the erection of building
of suitable size 10 accommodate their
business.
The Moore brothers are thoroughly
practical men and make a line of stoves
that they guarantee to be equal 10 any
made in the country. They will put
nothing but first class goods on the
market, and at prices to compete with
any eastern manufactured goods. This
is a southern Kansas institution and
southern Kansas will stand by her own
people. This is a valuable plant for
Wichita and our people viii stand By
them.

MACK WAS CLEARED
WICHITA MAN FARES WELL BE-
FORE YELLING TON JURY.
He Confessed to the Murder of Tom
Patton at Conway Springs Last
Night but Escaped on the Theory
That He was Hypnotized by An
derson Gray, His Employer.

Last night a telegram was received
here stating that the jury in the case Of
Tom Mcdonald on trial for murder at
Wellington had acquitted the de-
PENDANT and sent him home to his
young wife rejoicing. The verdict was
predicted in these columns three days
ago when an outline OF the case was
given.
There was no question as TO the fact
that Mcdonald killed Tom Patton at
Conway Springs last May, nor was
there any question but what it was
genuine murder. The killing of Tom
Patton was not only admitted by Nc
Donald, but he gave the details in
his own confession. The theory upon
which the defense was made and the
verdict of acquittal arrived at was that
Mcdonald was under a species of hyp-
motto influence when he killed Patton
and that the influence was that pro-
duced by the constant operation of the
stronger mind of Anderson Gray, the EN-
ployer OF Mcdonald, on the slayer OF
Patton.
Mcdonald lived in Wichita previous
to the murder and people who knew
him are not astonished at the theory
of the jury. While he was in all res
pets sound minded man, yet he was of
disposition that the influence of a SUI
perior mind would sway him. He had
no motive for killing Patton and so
expressed himself at the time. but he
says that Gray kept at him until he
had him completely worked up TO the
idea that Patton would surely kill him
Under this delusion he obeyed all the
advice of Gray until he had his man
dying on the road from the effect OF his
gun shot fired from ambush. Even
then, it is said, he considered that he
had committed no crime for which he
could be held responsible under the law.
The story of the case is full of strange
interest OH account of the hypnotic
thory, but as it was outlined i'll
Thursdays Eagle it is unnecessary TO
repdt il now.

TAYLOR NOMINATED.
Popnlists Nominate for Hopeless
,ause.

Yesterday a handful of Populists met
in this city and nominated a farmer
named Taylor, living a few miles east
of the city, for representative TO I'LL the
vacancy caused by the death of Major
Lawrence. Pat Healy had too much
sense TO accept the nomination, al
though he was the strongest man that
could be put up. The Populists have
no show for an election il the Republic
cans do their duty, but their scheme is
TO take advantage of the confidence in
the election of Mr.. Eckstein. They
hold that assured Republican success
will keep Republican voters at home
and by this means slip in their man. 1t
is hoped that Republicans viii see
their little game and thwart il. The
Democrats viii make no nomination;
Otto Eckstein is good enough for them
10 vote for on account of his broad
views. generous nature and non-hostile
disposition.
