WILL RUN FOR CONGRESS.

The EAGLE few days ago referred to
soma political talk which made j. f.
Greerlee of Hutchinson a candidate fol
lieutenant governor. The News, in Its
Monday edition, announces that the Re-
publicans of that city had held meet
ing and adopted strong resolutions unan-
imously endorsing Mr.. Greenlee as a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for congress from the Big Seventh.
He is the author of the Greenlee rail-
road bill in the last legislature and has
been a principal factor in the prosecu-
ton of the late cases before the state
board of railway commissioners. He is
53 years old and was a member of the
Iowa state senate before removing to
Kansas. The News, which heartily en-
dorses his candidacy declaring him to be
a vote-getter and a law-maker of ex-
perience, says:
He is a business man rather than poll
tician, and the people think none the
less of him for that. He is n man of fine
education and rare attainments, an ora
tor and e man well rounded in the expert
ence of life He is in the prime of life,
fifiv-three years of age. and in the vigor Of
his intellectual manhood. He was SOL
dier of the Union army, who. like thous-
ands of veterans, has adooted Kansas AS
his hope and home.
As legislator he has experience and the
house of debate is his natural political
arena. He IS alert at all times and
quick to discern. As mem
Der of the Iowa state senate he won the
plaudits of his people; as a member of
the Kansas Legislature he popularIzed
himself throughout the state, and as
member of congress the Seventh Kansas
district would be herself again. He has
never been defeated-and he will win
next November.
He is strong at home, and will be
strong throughout the district. He is
practical in all things and a valuable
friend to friends. He lives III a county
that will back HIM with thousand ma
jority next November.

TT WAS NO SNAPPER GAME.

The Lawrence journal in a scatking
criticism of half a column reviews the
Douglass Hallowell contest. The Jour
nal seems to imagine that possibly Sedg-
wick county or Wichita might have
other men who would have been entitled
10 consideration but for such forestall-
ing of public sentiment, deplorIng the
assumed fact that we down here had set
the pace for the snapper" business IN
Kansas.
We will not quote the ungracious
things wherein the Journal says that
the Republicans of Sedgwick have tied
themselves up before even knowing how
many delegates they would be entitied't to
etc.. ETC., but will say to 1T that the ar
rapgement received the Endorsement OF
the Republican central committee and
seemed satisfactory to the great MAJOR
ity who take the most interest In run
ming party politics. There was
no intention of shutting OIL
any other gentleman's chances
for preferment to a state office, no
thought of taking advantage OF any
other candidate in any part Of the state
for congressman-at-large. The contest
was held to be purely local matter.
Neither Hallowell nor Douglass, nor
their friends, would have it understood
that these are the only nen in Sedgwick
county entitled to recognition. They
were not afraid that the people of Wich-
ita might want another man for diff
ferent position. Nothing Of the kind.
They simply wanted to get their own
case settled before the regular campaign
opened, in which desire they were Sec
onded by the county central committee,
and this without the least intention of
establishing snapper" precedent, or of
disregarding the wishes of the Republi-
can party of the state.

But for spirit of petty prejudice the
Democrats would follow the precedent
set by the speaker Reed and count mem.
bers as present, who are in their seats
but refuse to vote, in order to make a
quorum for the transaction of business.
1t was hoped that partisan prejudice
would be lost sight of after Mr.. Reed
had adopted that sensible and emf
nently Just policy to facilitate the pub
nc business, but it seems hard, next TO
impossible, for the Democrats to tear
themselves away from the traditions OF
their political fathers.

INSULIED TIE FLAG,

Past Commander Tim Mccarthy who
is central figure at the state encamp-
ment, G. A. r., at Newton this week,
is never so felicitous as when telling
some personal experience or other rem
iniscense of the army of the Army of
the Potomac. in which he served during
the war of the rebellion. Here is little
incident that he relates with especial
gusto as having come under his personal
observation, and which is always met by
an encore from listening comrades:
Before the Army of the Potomac
moved up the York peninsula on Rich.
Inond, in the early part of '61, General
Butterfeld issued an order TO his COM
mand prohibiting foraging. The army
had been on the march but a few hours
when the general saw sergeant with
goose along with the colors.
The general, surprised, stopped the
sergeant and said:
''What regiment do you belong to-"
"To the 9th New York, general" re-
piled the soldier.
"And to what brigade?o
''To your brigade, general"
'.And did you hear, before we began
this march, an order read forbidding
foraging:"
81 did, general"
"Then why, sir, do I find you with
this goose, which you have evidently
killed.
''fll tell you, general" said the SOL
dier, ''just how it was. AS l was march
ing along minding my own business,
this goose came and hissed at the flag;
and would have killed it if it had had
ten lives.
The sergeant kept the goose.

But Paws No Taxes

The churches of the United States have
membership of 81, 1,000.000 and church
property valued at $475, 0c0.0 .000. The
methods of the primitive church re-
quired little fixed property but in these
modern times the church must have its
capital invested in income yielding
property to insure its success against the
manifold forms of capitalized vice that
curse the country.

EVE SEEKING HER ADAM.
SHE FINDS HIS HANDWRITING ON
THE LINDELL REGISTER.
A Case of Mixed Man and Uncer-
tain Woman the Outcome of
Which is not Made
Clear.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Last
night, while porting over the regis
ter of the Lindell hotel, a dashing
and beautiful blonde woman of
about 80 years suddenly exclaimed
excitedIy "that Is his hand writing,
he could not disguise it," The name
that attracted her attention was
that of"H. Bauer and wife Omaha,
Neb., which appeared upon the
register under the date OF Septem-
Der 80. She said the man regis
tered there was her runaway hus-
band. and told her story thus !:
"My husband left me in the early
part of September, as l supposed
to go on the road for some business
house. He soon neglected to write
to me however, and L learned after
diligent inquiry that he was at
Kansas City, Mo-, with some
woman, who [ have every reason
to believe, is the same person who
was with him here.

could find nothing Of him, 1 next
heard he was at Jefferson, City,
Mo-, and went there in search of
him. 1 had my friends everywh ere

tated about giving her name; swell,

anything made public about this"
After Mrs. simpsons departure 1t
was learned that Mr.. Bauer, the al.
legged 80 called Mrs. Simpson, his
alleged wife, had remained at the
hotel two days and had left theI e
for Chicago. The mysterious visit.
or at the Lindell hotel is supposed
to be no ether than Mrs. Ida b,
Natzen, a teacher in the Windsor
school, Omaha, who disappeared
from that city last Saturday TAX
ing with her her two children. The
story from Omaha is to the effect
that Mr.. Natzen had left her sever
al years ago and that recently she
had received information as to his
whereabouts and gone in search OF
him. The description OF Mrs. Nat
