WICHITA HORSES WE'RE IN 1T.
They Make Record at Red Oak, Winnin e
First. Second and Fourth Money.

There are doubtless many readers of
yesterdays Eagle even in Wichita
who read the account of the races at
Red Oak, Iowa, the previous day who
did not notice that Wichita horses
We're among the winners.
That is, however. true and Wichita IS
not a coming horse center. Il is that
now and in nearly all the big races in
the west this year Wichita flyers viii
compete for the prizes.
In the Red Oak races the 2:2S trot
was won by Corporal in three straight
heats time 2:161a, 217H and 2:17H. Cor
poral belongs 70 Chambers string of
horses and he was trained on the Wich-
tia track last winter and spring. In
the s minute trot Chambers horse,
Charley Boggs, won second money.
Time 2:21%
Mr.. Chandler also has in his string
this year W. r. Dulaney's 2-year-old
colt Dock Dulaney. This colt has only
had partial training and while he is
a very pretty colt few Of the horsemen
thought he would ever be very fast.
But Doctor Dulaney surprised every
body except Mr.. Chandler and won
fourth money in the 2-year-old pace at
Red Oak in which the best time was
2:1615.
Chandler. Kittsmiller and Cash Hen
derson all have horses at the Red Oak
races this week and next week the
Wichita horses will divide, part going
to st. Joseph and the others to Mime
apolis. where they will go against fly
ers but if the Wichita boys do not take
some of the money their horses will
make the winners do some fast going.

against c. H. Miller, charged with as
sault with intent to kill.
On the 9th day of last December c.
III. Miller and j. H. Bunker engaged in
q quarrel at Maize and Miller drew a
knife and slashed Bunker across the
neck, inf1icting a serious wound Miller
lit out and after time was located in
Ohio and was brought back here on a
requisition and admitted to bail
Bunker claimed that County At
torney Davis refused to have him
subpoenaed because he was the prose
cutting witness and that he has made
three trips from Oklahoma at his own
expense in order to prosecute Miller
but that the county attorney refused
to bring the case 10 trial and he says
he was dumfounded yesterday when
the county attorney dismissed the case
The Oklahoma man showed a letter to
Hays and a reporter for
the Eagle purporting to be from d. p.
Edgingt0n to Bunker in which it was
stated that he. Edgington, owed Miller
some money and would sue if il was
not paid at once. This the writer said
would cause him to force collection on
q note for S3S which he held against
Bunker
4 straight proposition was made in
the letter TO return this note of Bun
ker's to him cancelled providing he
would have this prosecution against
Milled dismissed. Bunker says he
positively refused TO do this and
brought the letter to confront Edging-
ton with il when he Edgington)
should take the witness stand in Mil
ler'S behalf

Democrats there are making stir and
they are increasing in numbers, but
do not think that even they are OPP
posed to the present form of govern
ment. They have their orators and
papers but the common people in Ger
many do not read as many papers as
they do in this country. i do not be-
live the social Democrats Will be able
TO carry the day Notwithstanding they
are increasing in numbers Their
strength comes principally from the
larger cities and manufacturing CEN
ters."
What do the social Democrats ex-
pect to accomplish in Germany"
We'll. / suppose you would call them
socialists in thi: country. They are
in favor of land for the people. They
believe that land ought to belong TO
the whole people. Their object is to
prevent monopoly in land and money.
Social Democracy in Germany is not a
movement to change the form of gov
eminent but rather 10 aid the people to
obtain equal rights under the govern
ment. AS / said before 10 prevent
monopoly"
you say the social Democrats want
to prevent a monopoly in money; you
have single gold standard there have
you nO.? And how about wages under
that Standard"
Yes, and most of the money in cir
culation among the people is gold. We
have some silver. Mostly small coins.
Labor / suppose is cheaper there than
here. To give you an idea gardner
there gets 4 cents an hour and COM
mon laborer in the field gets what
would he equal TO % cents of your
money for days work. But the pur-
chasing power Of money is greater
there. I should think wooden goods
are one-third cheaper there than here"
How about bread and meat?"
az suppose bread and meat are not
cheaper. The common people do not
eat very much white bread. they eat
rye bread. but, they seem to get along
pretty well. Beer is the chief beverage
and people who drink beer constantly
tell me that il is a great deal better
than the beer in this country Ger
mans have told me that when they
came to this country that they could
not drink your beer. They get large
glass of beer for about and cents and
people use IL a their meals"

George Weiss took the stand and
swore as hard as if the boy of eight
was Bill Dalton or some other despe-
rado.
The offense was that the boy had
been swimming naked in Chisholm
creek, and If there was a boy on earth
that seemed to be in need of q swim il
was that same Lon Moore. and in
addition he could not be very much
more naked than when he was in court
without single relative or friend near
him.
City Attorney Adams made a strong
case against Lon. There was strong
evidence against him and the eneire
crowd were anxious 10 know what
Judge Hatton would do. He looked at

MADE A BIG DEAL
ILLINOIS FARMER BUYS a LARGE
SLICE OF FERTILE KANSAS.
He Went Down into His Pocket and Paid
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars for IT.
Other Illinois Farmers Take a Farm or
Two Each as Starter--They Came
Here Prejudiced Against Kansas but
Found it SO Much Better than the Sucker
State that They Wanted Some of it in
Minneha.

Deeds were filed yesterday and the
previous day in the Office of the county
register on lands aggregating So, 900
by Jacob Boslough typical Illinois
farmer. He came here with party of
other gentlemen nearly all of whom
bought more or less property. The
lands are located in Minneha township
and constitute an area of something
like 1900 acres. 1t is regrded as very
fine body of land and sold at ridicu-
lous low figure owing to the money
stringency.
1t is not quite certain that Mr.. Bos-
Tough has quit buying Sedgwick coun-
~ land yet.
The gentlemen were easily dealt with
and there was less dickering than there
would be in a six dollar horse among
ordinary traders. The fact is Kansas
lands sell themselves now; the only
trouble being lack Of buyers. Even
in Illinois the people believe that Kan
sas is burned up, but when they come
out here there is a surprise in store
for them. They find in the Arkansas
valley the finest crop of corn they have
ever seen in their lives, the finest clim-
ate beneath the sun, and as pretty
landscape as there is in America at this
season of the year. They find the cat
tie rolling fat in rich pastures, the trees
teeming with fruits and the gardens
crowded with vegetables. In fact they
see farm scenes here that they do not
dream about in Illinois and land for
twenty dollars an acre that could not
be bought in Illinois for eighty-five
dollars. The fact is, as they have seen
and notices. there is plenty of every
thing in Kansas but money and hence
plenty Of everything, including rich
land, can be got for money.
They are all fine men and ones that
will fairly represent Kansas when they
return home. The gentlemen came out
here in one of the Trice excursions.

Dave Dale replied yesterday 10 the
invitation OF the Populists 10 accept at
their hands the nomina ton for judge
or the district court. He said he would
accept the nomination and make the
race.
When Mr.. Dale was first rendered

approaching the Democrats. The DEM
ocratic party immediate called caucus
which was held in the outside stairs
leading 10 the second floor OF the old

meeting OF Democrats. Its object will
be 10 bring the mind of the average
