WICHITA. Oct 3-Yesterday was
Harvey day" -eminently at Wichita
The usual attractions of the fair were
lost sight of before the fact that William
Hope Harvey Of Chicago, the author of
Coins Financial School," would speak
under the auspices of the State Fair as
socistion.
Mr.. Harvey was suffering from a slight
arrangement of his throat and repaired
to a drug store opposite the Carey for
some medicine. Returning to his hotel
he was the center of an admiring crowd,
all anxious to gaze on the recognized
champion of free silver.
Looking closely at Mr. Harvey one dis
covers at a glance ne is slightly built,
medium height and bears close resem
blance to his published photos. His
features are reguler and deeply cut,
the eyes of gray, deeply set; clear, de-
termined look. and he looks you regu-
larly in the face while he listens or talks.
His hair is thin, closely cut and is just
sprinkled with gray. a moustache of
brown adOrns his face and but partially
conceals the firm lines of his mouth.
One thing impresses itself upon one
and that is the deXiDilitv OF his long,
taperng fingers, and when he points
remark with his index finger, one watches
his gesture as much us his face.
When he talks he speaks right on.
There is no hesitation or faltering. no
matter the subject or the listener, and he
listens in the same way.
When asked about his Coins Financial
School," he said: u was not writer to
any great extent before that work, and
should not have become, but l felt l
had to. l had to write it, at least l
felt So Because l saw a change was
coming to this nation, and the masses
needed to be educated. And at the last
moment l hesitated to sign nv name
to ii. Thought of sending it out anony
mously, but at the last moment, as you
may say, took counsel of my friends
and it looked too much like stab in the
dark; like making a cowsrdly assault,
and [ sent it out over my own name"
In speaking of the percentage of the
masses who have read Coins Financial
School. Mr.. Harvey said he did not pos
itively know, as his data was insufficient,
but, from the best obtainable figures, he
thought 10 per cent not far from the
mark. 'First of all comes Michigan;
next, 1 presume, is Iowa; Missouri and
Kansas in the order named. This is not
authoritative, however, except as to

Mr.. Harvey spoke last night to large
audience. IN closing his speech he said:

isle and her many dependent colonies,
but as for America, let her set the pace
for the world. No Lombard street legis-
lation should go in these United States
If England doesn't like our system, so

but it was succeeded by others. Liver

MISS WIZARDS ROMANCE.
The ". C. t. U. President Was Once
Courted by 81 Young Minister

The ". C. t. Z. President Was Once
Courted by a Young Minister
The recent runor regarding the en-
gagement of Miss Frances E. Willard,
president of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, to an
elderly English gentleman of means,
who uses large part of his annual in
come in the furthering OF reform move
ments, has recalled to the minds Of
many of Miss Wizards friends in this
country the romance of her early wom-
enhood. Miss Wizards devotion to the
temperance cause is by 10 means coeval
with the great crusade OF the early 70's,
whose outcome was the organization
of hundreds of Woman's Christian
Temperance Unions. Miss Wizards
parents. were among the pioneers of the
great northwest, and brought up their
daughter with very strict, not to say
narrow. views as to the use OF liquor
and tobacco. Miss Willard prepared
herself for teaching, and while pursu-
Ing her studies met a young man who
was studying for the ministry and who
gave promise of attaining great promi-
hence in his chosen calling. Their
common love of study attracted them
to each other, and the young man felt
that in Miss Willard he had found the
one woman who, as his wife, would
help him upward and would gracefully
share the honors of the lofty position
at which he was aiming. Nor was Miss
Wizards heart untouched, and the
young mans matrimonial hopes might
have been realized but for her dis
covery that he was addicted to the use
Of tobacco. She very promptly told
him he could choose between tobacco
and herself, and to all his pleadings
opposed the one cry:
IF you love tobacco more than you
DO me find some other woman who will
tolerate such a habit"
At length he ceased to urge her, and
hey went their separate ways, she to
remain single and become president Of
| he National Womans Temperance
Union, and one of the best parliament
arians in the United States, and he to
marry some one else and become ono
IF the most prominent bishops of tho
Methodist Episcopal church.

CAN'T JUDGE. =
Supreme Court Decides the Law
Constitutional
Doing Away With Four Judi
cial Districts.
DISTRICTS MUST GO.
The Unseemly Scramble of
WOuldbe Judges
DISTRICTS MUST GO.
For Office Will Come to an End
at Once.

The supreme court today decided that
the district judges who are trying to
hold onto their offices on the ground that
the bill abolishing their districts was I'M
constitutional, will have to find other
jobs, or in other words the bill
aboIishing four legislative districts was
decided to be constitutional.
G. P. Aikmen of EIdorado, Republi-
can candidate for judge in the old TWEEN
ty-sixth district, brought mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel Secretary of State
Edwards to file his nomination papers.
He took the position that the present
judges were legislated out of office by
the law passed last winter, and therefore
it was unconstitutional.
The law takes effect October 16, al
which time the counties in the abolished
districts become attached to other exist
ing districts, but the bill contained q
clause that gives the present judges
their salaries in full for the time for
which they were elected.
The court this morning announced its
decision that the law was constitutional,
but the formal opinion has not been
given out
The judges whose districts were abol-
ished by this law are Judge A. ]. Alb
bott, Garden City, Judge c. W. Shinn,
Eldorado, Judge Lucien Earle. of Nc

COOLEY AIR SHIP A SUCCESS
Maintains It's Position AIoft and Would
Sail If Not Held Back.

Maintains It's Position AIoft and Would
Sail If Not Held Back.
Rochester, N. Y, Special:-Two tests
of the Cooley air ship were made yes
terday in this city, the second one be
ing successful. After drawing all the
ropes tight Mr.. Cooley gave the signal
and the ship shot up with surprising
rapidity. A strong west wind was
blowing at the time and the pet and
pride of the inventor sailed in mo-
ment across the meadow to a tree and
entangled one of the ropes in it. This
caused the ship to shift its position SO
that it no longer faced the wind, and
it made a dive to the earth amid the
laments of a thousand spectators. When
Mr.. Cooley reached the ship he found
it, to all appearances, a complete
wreck, but he set to work with will
and soon found that he would be able
to use but single set of sails on the
next trial, for the cross spars were
broken in several parts. The useless
set of sails were accordingly removed,
and with the help of several men the
ship was again placed in an erect po-
sition, the ropes frightened and fastened,
and several extra braces added to as
sure stability of the two parts. About
5 o'clock all was in readiness for the
second trial and the ship was carried
far out in the meadow away from any
dangerous trees, and ten men held the
ropes preparatory to the signal from
the inventor. When finally the signal
came the ship arose slowly in the air
to the height of 200 feet, and instead
of darting downward it stayed right
where it was. 1t was evident too, that
it wished to go higher, for it tugged at
its ropes, and then finding that it
could not go farther began its course
downward with great ease. 1t alighted
about 500 feet from the spot of its flight
upward and settled slowly to the earth
without damage.

NO DUCK SHOOTING FOR KANsANs
a Popularity of the Missouri Law Affect
ing LeavenWorth.

a Popularity of the Missouri Law Affect
ing Leavenworth.
Leavenworth sportsmen who have been
waiting patiently for October l, that they
might 90 duck shooting at Duck lake,
which is situated in Platte county, Mis-
souri,, have been sorely disappointed. A
section of the Missouri game law that
provides against non-residents of the
state hunting therein has been practi-
cally obsolete for years, but this season
number of Missouri market hunters have
com bined for the purpose of enforcing
the obnoxious law. DOC" Hancock is at
the head of the movement, and having
been appointed deputy sheriff, he now
patrols the lake and declares that he will
prosecute every nonresident he catches
shooting inside the Missouri line
The Leavenworth hunters are very
much exercised over the matter, and will
make an effort to patch things up with
the Missouri pot hunters.
They protest that migratory game is as
much the property of one state as an
other, and that Missouri has no right to
prohibit non-residents from shooting it in
the proper season.
1t is understood that the owners Of
Duck lake are in sympathy with the
Kansas sportsmen, and will do all in their
power to assist them in their efforts to
have the law annulled.
