Colonel Thomas g. Fitch has gone to
Washin gton
While he was going to the depot very
comfortable game of poker could have
been played upon his coat tails and people
who saw him said that it would be a
glorious thing to match him for a mile
with Merton Burt, the champion bicyclist.
He was In hurry, evidently, for he had
not time TO change his shoes and still
wore his tan chicken skins A small
travelling satchel was strung over his
shoulder and there was not much In it, for
pair of well starched cuffs kept drum
ming on the outside of 1t like pea in
pepper box.
Thomas was not as calm as be usually
is. and he evidently had heard of some
discouraging news from the mecca of his
tribe.
The fact is a terrible fight is being made
on Mr.. Fitch by his rivals IN the post
Office race and his friends do
not deny that ''slanders' have been sent
to Washington against him. His mission,
therefore, TO Washington is evidently to
nail some lie that has been circulated
against him. One of his closest political
friends was seen last night and be said:
Yes, Tom has gone to Washington and
L VIII psNc you UP Juab H0eu lie COuueS
nome he Will bring his commission as
postmaster of Wichita in his pocket. The
opposition have combined against him,
and, being unable to beat him fairly. 1t is
my understanding that they are trying to
do him dirt. / have heard that petition
is being circulated against him by few
sore-beads who are not able to cope with
him in legitimate polite i tactics, but
when he gets TO Washington il is my pre-
diction that he will make them hide out.
Protests have been circulated in all the
wards and while they are not num-
erOusly signed, yet it was deemed
best for him to go to Washington
and be present to refute them. / don't
know who are circulating these protests,
but | understand it is combine OF men
who want al the offices for themselves
and others who wanted offices but couldn't
get them"
IL was stated that Bob Carson was circu-
lating one of the protests, but that gentle
man denied TO reporter that he was
aware of any protests and stated en-
phatically that he had nothing 10 do with
them.
Another story is told that J. NJ Ross is
at Washington and that he is giving it TO
Mr.. Fitch in the region of Adams apple.
Before leaving be circulai ed some peculiar
statements abont Mr.. Fitch and it is
thought that he is repeating them at
washington SOme Jalnk ChhC lhr- r tcn
went TO Washington to meet Mr.. Ross face
TO face and settle it with him. This seems
to be the most general opinion. At any
rate the indications are that there is red
hot fight among the brethren.
The appointment will probably be made
in few days. Postmaster Jewett was
appointed four years ago on the 231 of this
month, and it is thought that his success
sor will be appointed on the same date.
Mr.. Fitch has practically all the
dorsements desired, besides being the
favorite of Senator Martin. He succeeded
to the prestige of The late Fraak b. Smith
and has the advantage of being one of the
delegates who nominated Cleveland at
Chicago.

HAIL AND FRUIT.
1t Damaged Some Orchards South and East
Of Town. Dan Jones Frat Farm

The hail of Monday caused some
damage TO the fruit. Henry Schweiter
said il hurt his grapes aud that IL also did
some damage TO Steve Baich and Ea
Horner. Dan Jones, one of the best
horticulturists west of the river. was not
visited with the hail and consequently IL
did him no damage. Speaking about
horticulture very few people have proper
conception of the scale In which fruit rails
ing is carried on In this county. W hlle Mr..
Jones is by no means the largest hoetlcul-
turist in the county, he ranks among the
best, as a visit TO his farm three miles
MORT Invest of Wichita. will amply testify.
He has now about 3 500 bearing trees, In
Guiding all varieties of fruit, and the
system and general taste OF his 1o-acre
orchard Is very noticeable aud much ad-
mired by those who visit it. for it Is really
worth visiting. He has over 2GO BEARING
cherry trees that are beauties aud that
will net him a whole lot of money
this year, for they are so fuii
of the tempting fruit that some
OF the branches can hardly hold them. He
has about four acres of grapes that are
very fine and about the same amount OF
black berries. He says he never before had
such a crop of apples and plums, aud the
appearance of the trees Certainly Justi-
fies his statement. He has nice paar
tree in his orchard that was grated from
an S0-yesr-old tree that stands in the yard
of his old home in Illinois. He will put
out twenty acres more of orchard next
spring. Mr.. Jones is not only fruit
raiser, but he also INDUCES in the culture
