Politics is warming up. The thing
which created the most talk among the
politicians yesterday was the announce
ment that Henry Schweiter was being
grOomed for the nomination of representa-
tive in the Sixty-sevenuh district. The
politicians all agree that Henry would
make a tip-top candidate.
On this score, the following communica-
ton was received yesterday:
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-07-15

A gentleman who does not believe in
the common cry of c!iques and rings
writes TO the EAGLE as follows concerning
certain methods adopted:
WICHITA, HANS, July "a, 1894.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
l want to congratulate you on your ed
itorial in this mornings issue Of your pa
per entitled THE Trading Politician. s"
| heartily endorse all your editorial con-
tains, aud think you should have referred
more particularly To the conduct of GER
tain so-called Republican candidates who
are now going over the county telling the
people that certain OF their competitors
belong to certain corrupt rings and
cliques whose objects are to put certain
men in Office in order that they may steal
| the public money
There is certain candidate for the
most important office for which nominal
tiOns are made, this year going over the
county making his campaign principally
slandering otEer candidates and Republi-
cans in that way
think any man who will stoop to such
methods, who will viiify his opponent and
bemean other Republicans, as it is said
this candidate is doing, should not be
countenanced by Republicans. \ candi-
date who is so mercenary and selfish TO
want to further his own personal interests
ahead of the interests of his party is not
the kind of a Republican to hold any
Office
A man who will make his campaign for
the nomination to any office by stating
that his opponent belongs to certain cor
rupt rings or cliques, wnich he knows il
not So aud Is only made by him to further
his own interest rs he believes, should be
relegsted to political Oblivion unless he let's
up. There are vast nu mber of patriotic
energetic Republicans who care more for
the welfare of the Republican party than
than they do for the greed of politician.
This talk of rings and ciiques in the city
tends to array the country against, aud is
made by candidates for that purpose aud
by that means to further his chances for
nomination. Ii Injuries the party and il
carried to its fullest extent would temper
arily disrupt It,
The people OF this country want relief
from the present conditions OF things and
they expect it through the Republican
party, that party whoss loyalty never was
appealed to in vain.
The Republican party can win the fighs
this fall in this state and in this county
if we will make determined and united
fight.
so let the candidates for Office make
fair, upright and honorable campaign for
the nominations And when the convention
is over the party will be in a condition in
both the city and country 10 make a cam
paign TO certain victory.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The Republican party this year cannot
afford To make mistakes in selecting can
dtates for the various offices. especially
our legislative ticket should be com posed of
men in whom the people have the utmost
confidence.
Many voters Of the SiXty-seveuth district
have expressed desire to be represented
bya farmer and a business man who
would represent the people ably aud hon.
eslly. The name most frequently mem
toned in this connection is Henry Schwei
ter. If the Republicans of the Sixty. sew
enth district nominate him victory is as
sured at the polls and the people will be
honestly and faithfully represented IN the
legislature.

From the rumors afloat there is likely
TO be another candidate in the field for the
Office of county attorney. An effort is be-
ing MADE by the friends OF {. II. Brooks
to induce him to allow his name to be
used in connection with that office. His
friends believe he would make a formid-
able candidate. Mr.. Brooks was seen by
a reporter for the EAGLE and when asked
about the rumor that he would he can
didate. smiled and said: mo one has any
authority from me to make that announce
ment. The report doubtless originated, -
he continued from the fact that, for sew
eral weeks many OF my friends have been
persisteatiy urging me to shy my castor
into the ring with the rest of the boys.
The Office is one of the best in the
county and ! would not mind having it,
but cannot spare from my business the
time necessary to make thorough can
vass for the nomination"

The Handwritinp of the Lord.

What has been called the handwriting of the Lord" has recently appeared upon the growing corn in field on the farm of T. B. Turpin, near Somerset in Pulaski county, Ky. The ignorant and supersti- tious believe that it is the forewarning of some great event that Is to affect all Christendom, and numerous prophets are abroad in the land The so called Lord s handwriting" appears upon the broad green blades of the corn and consists of rude outlines of an anchor, the letter N and the figure They are distinctly traced and are visible on both sides of the leaf
 The colored people of Pulaski county are fearfully wrought up over the "sign," as they call it The anchors the letter N and the figure 8 are construed by some of the most superstitious to mean the com ing of another great deluge. The theory Is we'll worked out by the declaration that N stands for Noah, the anchor for the ark and the figure for the period of weeks, months or years as variously construed, in which the calamity is to como. Gospel songs in which anchors are mentioned are great .favorites among the excited folk, and deep religious sentiment is begin ming to pervade the dusky community.

Acid and Air Motors.

The latest experiments with carbonic acid and compressed air as motors show that if compound engine is employed, and the gas or air heated so that the tenn perature at the beginning of expansion is 8S3.5 degrees F., the carbonic acid engine requires 2l 610 pounds of carbonio acid per hour per horsepower, and the air en- zine 14 8-10 pounds of air. on this basis
 as stated, it being practicable to determine the price at which it would have to be sold to be an economical power. It is urged in this respect that if the carbonic acid be exhausted into the atmosphere the cost is much too great for ordinary power purposes. If the exhaust Is condensed, the engine will, it is said, have the same theoretical efficiency as an engine using any other vapor through the same range of temperature, and the working pressures will be very high, so that practical diff
 culties are met with New York Sun.

AN IMPRoMPTu EXCURSION.
How Callahan Stole Locomotive and Too
 Ride.

It was mad ride Michael Callahan had on an Illinois Central switch engine he stole near the Terminal station, in Chi cago, at 1 o'clock in the morning. The engine was old No. l and is used for switching cars in Jackson park. It stood south of the Terminal station, with steam up, but without the lamps lighted. The day crew had gone home, and the engine was in the care of "hostler," James Glessford Glessford was keeping up the fire and at o'clock went to the shanty near by to fill his oil can. He had com panion, Charley Ericson, with him, and the two were carrying on lively conver- .ation.
 Michael Callahan, who came down the track just as the two men were leaving the engine, was struck with desire to lake ride. He did not know where, nor care, but he had seen engines used good deal and knew how to handle the lever. So he climbed in the cab stealthily and opened the throttle Cid No. gave a sudden lurch and was of on the switch for the main track, hardly quarter of a mile away. While Glassford was busy with tho oil can in the shanty Ericson saw the engine move of. He called to the "hos- tler,' who rushed out In pursuit. But the locomotive distanced Glessford at the start and kept gaining rapidly. The man thought of the derailing switch, and, frightened at the aspect of either wrecking the engine there or passing it out upon the main tracks, ran like the wind in pur- suit.
 William Kelley, who sits up in the switch tower at Seventy first street, heard tho ''crazy'' engine rumbling down the track and for moment considered giving it the open tracks. Then he foresaw the greater consequences of collision beyond and let the wild engineer take his own course On Callahan brought the swiftly moving

A Scheme That Failed.

Farmer Crowder had finished planting his corn, but his heart was heavy. He knew the crows were whetting their bills to pull up the corn as soon as it appeared above the surface.
 II tell you how to get away with the crows" said Neighbor Stokes
 "How2"
 Get you gallon of mean whisky and soak some corn in it until it gets full of tho stuff and then scatter 1t broadcast in the field The black rascals will eat it and get drunk, and then you can catch lem and pull their heads off That beats pizen or shootin.'
 In few days Farmer Crowder met his friend Stokes
 Well. hows crops1' queried Stokes.
 My corn is bodaciously ruint, re- piled Crowder dolefully. 1T tried that 'ere scheme O yourn, and it's humbug. I soaked the corn and scattered it one day, and the next mornin l went down to the new groun to see how it worked"
 Found 'em drunk, ehS''
 Found nothin. I hearn devil of fuss down nigh the branch and went to sec what it was. Thar was a dad blasted old crow what had gathered up all tho whisky corn and had it on stump, and he was retailin it out to the others, given 'em one grain of that sort for three grains of my planted corn, and dinged if they hadn't been and clawed up that huh field by sections.

A Turtle With a Queer Back.

A curious specimen of monstrosity in a turtle (Chelone imbricata) picked up in the Atlantic off Bordeaux has been sent to the reptile house of the Museum of Nat ural History, Paris. The carapace, instead of sloping downward like roof in the ordinary way, curves upward at the edges and forms a kind of inverted clam shell or saucer on the back of the animal, whose body is strangely compressed and length ened by the aeformity, which, however, is not unique, as it has occurred among the Cistudo orbicularis of Europe.

The Gentle Art of Osculation.

Kissing is not crime that it should be indulged in only in the dark, says Eugene Field, who is recognized as an authority in such matters. Cows, cowbells, street cars and car gongs have nothing to do with the casc neither have electric lights nor gas iluminations One does not kiss with his eyes or ears-let him shut his eyes if there be too much light and stop his ears if there be too much noise. The kiss is the principal thing, and from its pursuit and comprehension no true man will suffer himself to be diverted by mere environ ment. So let the heart filling, soul in- spring mouth watering industry be pur sued, but always reverently and magnani- mously.

In another instant tho de- railing switch was reached, and the loco motive, still on its wheels, was cutting and pumping over the tics of the Seventy first street crossing The window glass of the cabin was smashed the headlight was cracked, and flying oil bespattered the mad engineer and the root of the cabin Then the wheels cut deep into the sand, and the engine stopped, Immediately Callahan reversed the lever and then pulled it again He was determined to go farther
 Before Switohman Kelley reached the spot where the locomotive was imprisoned in the sand Glessforl arrived He climbed into the cab and dealt the man at the lever q savage blow with his fist. Callahan was knocked off the engine and immediately startol away on run. He succeeded in eluding the railroadcrs in the dark and went home Glessford picked up the fu2i- tiyc's hat near the engine and sent police out to look for him Officer W. J. Sim morals arrested him on the street in the afternoon.
 Callahan said he only wanted little ride and had no particular destination when he started. He says he had been drinking and was not altogether responsible.
