Writes a Letter in Which He Gives
Good Advice.
If Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease does not
want the nomination for mayor on the
citizens ticket Major Powell can get it.
If neither Mrs. Lease nor Major Powell
wants it John +. Carey can get it.
That is the present situation among the
citizens of Wichita i. e. the PopuIists
and Democrats
Late Saturday night while the
Demo-Pops were racking their brains
to find mayorality timber Third ward

one man expressed it, suggested the
name of Mrs. Lease. The crowd laugh

name of the new candidate was in the
lips of every politician that is pulling
the wires for the citizens ticket. The
rank and file did not take TO the idea
at first but the politicians soon con-
verted them by explaining to them the
advantages of putting up Mrs. Lease.

Mrs. Lease was not in town but it
was ascertained that she will he here
this morning and upon her arrival her
boomers will wait upon her.
y reporter for the Eagle called at
the residence of Mrs. Lease yesterday
at home. Charlie, her good natured
husband, was spading the grounds
about the house getting ready to make
a garden, and when he was told that
he may possibly have the honor of be
ing the spouse of the next mayor he
leaned on his spade and had good old
fashioned laugh-one that made the
branches of the budding trees around
him culver. He was not bit surprised.
In fact Mr.. Lease is not surprised at
the revolutions of the wheel of fortune
any more. 1t is doubtful whether he
would be surprised if he rubbed his
eyes some morning after a good nights
sleep and found that he was the sue
ceSSor Of Mrs. CNleveland in the family
and nursery department of the White
House.
When Mr.. Lease was asked whether
his distinguished wife would accept
the nomination he studied awhile look
ed far away. his eyes fell on the tall
spire of the city building. his ambition
was stirred and he said he did not
know whether she would or not. but
intimated that if she received the nom
nation she would make it pretty warm
for the opposition. Mr.. Lease took an
other look at he tower of the city build
ing saw the flag floating proudly from
it's summit kissing the sweet Zephyrs
of an Italian sky, turned over another
spade full of clay in which there was
a dozen fine fat angle worms. a sure
sign that spring is here, and bid good
day to the reporter.

KREUZBERGER WINS.
A Decision Interesting to All Con-
tractors and Material Men.

A Decision Interesting to All Con-
tractors and Material Men.
The case of Kreuzberger against
Clunie and McGillivray was tried be-
fore Judge Johnson yesterday, and in
lien law which is of interest to all con-
tractors and material men.
Ex-Congressman T. ]. Clunie last
April entered into a contract with John
McGillivray whereby the latter was to
erect certain walls in Mr.. Clunie's ware
house. During the performance OF the
work B. KreuZberger furnished ma
terial to McGillivray to the amount OF
SOL for the construction of those walls.
McGillivray did not pay for the ma
terials, and Kreuzberger subsequently
filed a lien against the premises on
which the warehouse is situated, and
began action to foreclose that lien.
On the 10Th of June, McGillivray, the
contractor discharged his men, and LETT
the warehouse of Clunie, claiming that
the contract was completed. The agent
of Clunie refused to accept the work,
claiming that it was not done in accord
ance with the>contract, and on the 10th
or Doth of June McGillivray returned
and made certain repairs and changes,
as demanded by the agent, and con-
Guided them on the 26th.
The lien law requires the material
man to file his lien with the Recorder
within thirty days after the completion
of the work, and Kreuzberger, the
plaintiff in the action, filed his lien on
the Goth day of July. The main ques-
ton in dispute was, when was the
work completed-on the 18th, when all
the work had been done by McGilltv-
ray, or on the Goth, when he had COM
piled with the demands of the agent of
the owner? If it were completed on
the 10Th, Kreuzberger's lien was not
filed within the time required by law,
but if it We're completed on the 10Th, it
came just within the statute.
Judge Johnson held that when Nc
Gillivray left the work on the 10Th he
left it in an incomplete state, and had
not at that time fully performed the
contract, and that the subsequent work
was essential to the full performance
of the contract on his part. Therefore,
neither the contract nor the work was
completed until the 26th Of June.
Accordingly judgment was rendered
in Kreuzberger's favor. Hiram w.
Johnson was attorney for Kreuzberger,
D. z. Alexander for Clunie, and Albert

YOUNG FRED VIOKERO CONVICTED.
A Seventeen-Year-0Id Youth Who is
lncorrigible.
Has Been Going From Bad to Worse:
Until the Penitentiary Gates
Open to Him.

Fred. Viskers, a seventeen-year-o
boy who has been very troublesome TO
the police for years, and been arrested
a score of times for petty offenses'
is about to reach what appears to have
been the goal of his ambition-the gates
of the penitentiary.
In Judge Hinkson's court yesterday
a jury returned a verdict of guilty
against him on the charge of grand
larceny under which he was tried. His
counsel r. NJ. Clarken, made strong
effort to save the youth from the State
Prison, but the evidence against Wis
kers was so conclusive and his record
so bad, that Mr.. Clarken could not stem
the tide. The jury, however, in view
of the prisoners youth, recommended
him to the mercy of the court.
The crime of which young Viskers
was convicted was the snatching of a
purse of money from the hands of a
man named John Burns on the evening
of October Both last. He led the officers
a merry race, but was finally captured.
In his charge to the jury Judge Hink-
son took occasion to warn them not
to return a verdict for petit larceny,
as they might feel tempted to do be-
y
him guilty of the act charged-for he
was either guilty of grand larceny or
nothing. The court commended the
jurors, however, for their recommended
ton for mercy, because of the prison
er's youth, and said he would give it
Que consideration.
Mr.. Clarken asked that the passing
of sentence be postponed until next
Saturday, and the request was granted.
The verdict did not in the least dis
concert the lad. His boyish counten-
ance never blanched, and he took his
medicine" as stoically as any hardened
third-termer would accept another
dose of justice. Young Viskers is, des-
pite his innocent appearance, an incor-
rigible youth, and has caused his par
ents many a heartache. He has spent
besides various terms in the local jails
one at a reform school, but has not
profited by his experience.

Ellis the Bill.

Eds. Record-Union: Some two months
ago the Presbyterians at this place pro-
cured the services of the Rev. D. F..
Kuffel as their pastor. He began his Ia
bors under difficulties existing both in
and outside the church, because of
conditions not necessary to mention.
With a small audience in the morning
and empty seats in the evening to start
with, the reverend gentleman now
breaches to large congregations in the
morning and houses packed to suffoca-
ton in the evening. He is a man among
the people, and knows how to get the
confidence of all classes. Men attend
church who never did before. His lines
of thought are entirely new, his logic
invincible and his fervor boundless. His
discourses embrace eloquence, tender
ness, poetry and persuasive power that
moves the audience to laughter and
then to tears. Such a man must be sub
stantially rewarded or the church can
not hope to retain him. A hint to the
wise is sufficient. AN OUTSIDER.

of never having previously appeared in

has not yet reached his turn for pos
thumous anecdotes, and must conse-

bareheaded, mistook him for a shop

NATURALIZATION LAWS
Approval of Congressman Johnson's
Amendment.
CFrom the Alameda Argus.)

(From the Alameda Argus.)
We agree entirely with the Sacramento
Record Union that the bill introduced
in Congress by Representative Johnson
OF the Sacramento District is a good
bill to pass. 1t provides for amendment
OF the naturalization laws so that no
person can be accepted as an Ameri-
can citizen who cannot read write and
speak the English language. 1t has the
proper ring, and the bill should become
law. He who is not sufficiently attached
to the country to acquire such knowl-
edge of the English tongue as will ena-
BILE him to read the laws of the land, to
testify in court, and understand with
out the aid of an interpreter, and who
will not apply himself so as to fit him to
write some sentences in the legal tongue
of the country the privileges and pro-
lection of which he seeks, should be
inhibited from becoming a sovereign
Of the Republic and one of its lawmak-
ers We have arrived at a point in our
history when intelligence and some de-
gree of educational requirement are to
be taken into account in the making of
citizens out of raw foreign material.
