HE L A DAISY.
Wichita is Visited by Dude Who Chaps tn.
Climax in Great Shape.

Probably but few strangers have ever
come to Wichita who have been the Oh
served of all observers as has been the
case of NJ. c. Jones.
''Who is NJ. G. JOnes?" might be ask
ed by many, yet he is a man who the
Questioner has not only seen, but has
stopped to take a second look. He can
DE seen almost every day with his
eGnaculte suit of white. his straw hat
and big eye glass. If the person on the
sidewalk does not watch his steps close
he viii come in contact with Mr.. Jones'
shoes, which are a bright silver color
and measures three feet and six inches
in length, brought TO a sharp point.
The first thought that comes TO the
person who meets this strange figure is
What sights a man sees when he has
no gun Notwithstanding the man
plays the dude act TO perfection, he
never leaves house until he has con-
WINGED the occupants that he is up TO
his biz in great shape. Ministers. law
yeTs. judges. doctors, merchants, have
all stopped to look and nave found
themselves welded by the mans polite
ness and bowling their gratitude and
thanks as they receive an envelope con-
tanning a sample of the medicine he is
advertising.
Mr.. Jones is a great traveller and a
good list. and is repre-
senting one of the largest firms in the
United States. He is not selling, but
simply distributing free samples for his
house. The Cascarets or Candy Ca
thartic are manufactured by the Sterl-
ing Medicine company of Chicago.
The agent must be seen 70 be aDpre-
cited and when once seen will not be
forgotten very soon. The man who at
first is taken for fool soon convinceS
the spectator that he is a man who is
able TO command a good salary.
Wichita. the healthiest city in the
United States. appears to have been be-
seiged by all the new advertising
lodges known to the world

to be Emperor of Germany but ruler

more the article hints strongly that

10 the British throne and confidently
expects 10 do It.
The article starts out by saying that

FIVE CITIES WANT II,
Advance Guard of the Convention Boomers
Reaches Washington.


Washington, Dec. 7-Compara lively
few of the members Of the Republican
National committee which meets here
next Tuesday have yet reached the city
but il is expected that by tomorrow
evening a large majority of them will
have arrived. General j. 5. Clarkson
has been in the city for two or three
days and Secretary Manley is expect
ed tomorrow. Several OF the cities in
the field for the national cOnvent ton
have already sent forward one or two
repreSen t8tVeS. San Francisco has a
full delegation here. with the eXcep-
ton of Mr.. De Young, of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, who is expected soon.
Mayor Frank RAIDER of Los Angeles,
Mr.. Osborne, editor of the Los Angeles
Express: General Friedrich. General
Champan and George a. knight. have
headquarters at the Arlington and are
making the best of their opportunities.
They announced tonight that they had
obtained pledges from the railroad
companies TO make $50 or less round
trip rate from the east, which would in
clude everyone who desired TO make
the trip.
General ClarksOn and Mr.. Manley are
known to strongly favor San Francisco
would have at least twenty or twenty
five votes on the first ballot. 1t was sta
ted that a sum sufficient TO liquidate
the Indebtedness of the national COM
nTittee, whatever il might be. had al
ready been pledged, but the delegation
was willing TO accede to every reason
able wish of the committee.
San Francisco already has hall suf-
ficient 10 seat $4,000 people. and if this
was not thought to be large enough
another and larger one would be erect
ed. The hotel accommodations il was
maintained. were first-class and ample.
Mr.. De Young had given special at
tention to the subject of wire facilities
and ii was not doubted that when he
arrived tomorrow il would be shown
that they were greater than any de-
mand that would be made upon them.
California, it was said, had no presiden-
tial candidate in San Francisco. All
candidates would be free from local in
fluences. and for that reason the city
was most desirable.
The fun delegation will meet tomor-
row night, when 1t is expected that
some formal announcement OF San
Francisco proposition will be made.
Mr. Chauncey /. Fflley of st. Louis
and Mr.. Powell Clayton Of Arkansas.
are here in advance OF the regular del
egation which will present the claims
of st. Louis. In speaking Of the mat
ter tonight. Mr.. Filley said that St.
Louis offers all OF the money necessary
to meet any obligation OF the committee
whether it be $4,000 or 100000.
The Chicago and Pibtsburg delega-
tons have not yet arrived, but are ex-
pected tomorrow, when they will open
headquarters. Il is understood that a
delegation from New York will reach
here tomorrow 10 advocate the selection
of Saratoga Springs as the convention
city.

Port Townsend, Wash. Dec. THE
British ship Strathnevis, which was
supposed to have foundered in the re-
cent November gales in the North Pa
cific ocean, was spoken a few days ago
by the British bark John CANDLES
which arrived at Van Couver today
from Japan. The Strathnevis was in q
disabled condition $40 miles northwest
Of Cape F'lattery. being in longitude IA;
west, latitude 1910 north, and is on the
sailing track between Puget Sound and
Yokohama.
No particulars are given as to the
steamships disability, except to advise
the immediate dispatching of tug tc
render the vessel assistance. The
Strathnevis was entirely disabled and
in great danger. She is laden with pas
sengers and has a valuable cargo OF
merchandise bound to Yokohama from
Tacoma. 1t is probable that two OF
three tugs will be sent out in search OF
the steamer tomorrow.
When spoken the Strathnevis had
drifted 1900 miles, and as she does moi
carry sufficient sail to make steering
possible she is probably being carried

GORZDD COMES IN SAFE.
San Francisco, Dec. 7-Reinsuranceon
the overdue steamship Gorzdd was
quoted at so per cent this morning and
L. -
quotation dispatch was received from
Port Townsend. Wash, stating that
the Gorzdd had arrived all right. The
arrival created great excitement for, OF
all the ships Of the overdue fleet, the
Gorzdd was least looked for She was
forty-nine days from Singapore for Ia
coma, or about twenty days overdue.
Reinsurance on the Evandale jumped
to 40 per cent today. The British ship
Lord Brassey and the steamer Eskdale
of the northern fleet are causing the
gravest anxiety by their long delay.
Port Townsend. Wash, Dec T.
About 500 miles east of the Asiatic coast
the Gorzdd ran into the latter end of
the storm, which was moving eastward,
and for three days the effects of the
gale were felt. The GorZdd was in bal
last, high out of the water and the
mountain seas swept over her decks.
The Gorzdd was tossed about on the
seas like chip and the blowing out of
the boiler tubes necessitated much re-
pairing and navigating to prevent the
shin from being disabled
Had the steamship not been of the
staunchest character and carefully
managed, she would undoubtedly have

MAY BE a VACANCY
1t is Probable that Ransom Brown will De-
cline Surveyors ONCE.


The county commissioners win prob
ably cut down the office of county sur
veyor until there will be nothing in it.
II is said that the commissioners will
reduce the place until the office will be
kept open only one day in the week If
this is the case there will be only SIS per
month in the situation. AT present Mr..
Brown gets about $50 or $65 per month
and a life position in the postoffice as he
is under the civil service rules. If he
left the pOstOficc now even though for
a day, by resignation, he would have TO
stand a civil service examination again
and wait his turn before he could get
his position back. II is hardly expected
that he would give up his place and
take chances even in the courts to get
what he expected out of the office when
he was elected.
During the past two years Mr.. Kessler
has been drawing 81 per day for every
day he kept his Office open and he kept
it open six days in the week. When the
commissioners attention was called to
this fact they said that their attention
had never been called to a decision of
the supreme court made about three or
four years ago, until within the past
fHw days. The decision was in the
Simmons case in Sumner county. About
four years ago the question came up as
to whether surveyors We're supposed to
get 81 per day for every day in the week
or whether they were supposed to keep
their office open only one day in the
week and get 81 for that day. The
county commissioners contended that
Surveyors Simmons was required to
keep his office open only one day in the
week while he contended that he was
allowed to draw pay for every day in
the week. In the courts the county was
sustained in its position.
If Mr.. Brown does not qualify as sur
veyor Mr.. Kessler will continue in Of
fee; If he does qualify and then resign

St Louis, Mo-, Dec. Last month
H f. Curly Brown, the wei known
California horseman, and Glen Crevel-
ing, equally well known in turf circles,
had several encounters in this city in
which the shedding OF blood was mar
rowly averted.
At that time Creveling, who was one
Of the judges at the race meeting in
Kansas City last fall, made serious
charges against Brown, who acted as
starter on the same track.
Tomorrow the Republic viii contain
the statement that II. L. Brown has
forwarded to Secretary Z. c. Hopper
Of the board of appeals Of the American
Turf congress a sworn affidavit contain
ing serious charges against Creveling
In his capacity Of judge.
In his statement, Curly Brown re-
'ers to the charges given to the press in
this city by Creveiing, in which the lat
ter reflected on Browns honesty as
starter. Mr. Creveling, Brown said,
charged him with demanding money
and pool tickets from horse owners on
the threat that if he and his brother,
who was assistant starter, were re-
fused, they would leave their horses
at the post Of give them poor start.
In the affidavit Brown denies the
charges on behalf of himself, and says
that he discharged his brother when,
On investigation, it was proven that he
was guilty. Brown recites that he then
demanded that his brother and Al
Shores, who had made the false charges
against him, be ruled off, but the Off
Gals, Of whom Creveling was one. re-
fused. Brown said CreveHng pleaded
with him to keep his brother, saying
In the course of his affidavit, Brown
that the matter could be hushed up.
went on to say. ct might throw some
light on this incident to know that Mr..
Creveling admitted to me that he was
racing horses owned by him over the
track in the name Of Al Shores"
The affidavit closes with the follow
Ing statement: "a matter which should
come under your jurisdiction is the fol-
lowing proposition made to me by Mr.
CreveHng personally. He called me TO
him one day on the track and stated
that he wished TO speak to me on a mat
ter Of interest 10 me.
His proposition was this, that he was
Interested with a bookmaker who had
several books at the track and that
they desired me to enter into a combi-
nation with them. the object being to
have judge, starter and bookmaker in
one federation, by which, he said, We
can get every dollar which comes into
the track. As an earnest of his good
faith, he offered to give me 81 900 to
bind the bargain. l refused his pro-
position and stated that l would ex-
pose him and thereby cause his being
ruled off. He begged and pleaded with
me to spare him this disgrace and said
that if he had not relied on my word
Of honor given in advance he would
have said nothing to me. Called upon
iwth such plea, / finally told him 1
would say nothing about it and kept
my word until he accused me in the
public prints Of being a blackmailer. I
now demand as my right that the Amer
lean Turf congress, the governing body
Of the western turf. make a thorough
investigation Of these charges and when
Il finding has been reached, to punish
the guilty person or persons, whoever
he or they may be"
