the tool of some OF these people to beat
the taxpayers"
Webb ard Harmon know that the
taxpayers have been imposed on in GER
tain cases and they also know that the
goodness of heart of these Humane So
cfety women very greatly exceeds their
ability to detect deception in appli-
cants for charity but il just breaks
their tender hearts 20 see the good wo-
men stand on the outside and refuse
to come into their Office. Harmon
said as much yesterday.
Major Burr and Ben Downing seem 10
be the real cause OF the misunderStand-
ing between the Humane society ladies
and the county commissioners as their
reports have in several instances differ
ed very widely from that of the ladies
committee in regard 20 the merits OF
certain applicants for charity
Some Of the boys IN the county treas
urers Office talked the matter over yes
terday and the general opinion seemed
to prevail that Major Burr and CAPTAIN
Downing were altogether responsible
for the misunderstanding and that If
the Humane society ladies would roast
them to a done brown finish that the
situation would assume a more ami
cable appearance.

WHAT OF TUESDAY NEXT7
Is There Possible Surprise and Defeat or
sweeping Victory.


With all the figuring on combinations
groups and factions into which the op-
position is split, with all their protes-
tations and promises of what ought to
be done and what they would do were
they but given the opportunity, at no
time or place have they had the
temerity to attack the Republican
nominees as a ticket or individually.
While it is true that the Republican
party is large iy in the majority in the
city 1t id not take advantage OF its
power to reward favorites. bur recog-
nizing the demand for substantial men
named only those whom everybody
could conscientiously support without
regard Of party. heading the ticket
with man who had been tried for TWO
years to the satisfaction of everybody
So in spite Of all the attempted deals
and swaps and sly efforts at combina-
ton under the catchy name of "Citi-
zens ticket" every Republican named
Will be elected next Tuesday. Mayor
Cox will be elected because he ha not
only a mind OF his own but because he
has demonstrated to the satisfaction
of everybody that his first aim and de-
sire is for an honest and economical
administration, while the balance OF
the ticket will be elected because every
body is convinced that the men COM
posing it are in full accord with Mayor
Cox and the wishes OF the people in
their wish for retrenchment.
All over the state, so far as we have
noticed, in every town and city with
out an exception. the opposition. con-
sisting of Populists, Democrats and
what not, have resorted to the same
tactics essayed IN Wichita. and we be-
lieve in every instance they have head
ed their mongrel ticket with The the
name of Citizens ticket, the while de-
precating party politics n local NUM-
cipal affairs. While the cry is neither
honest, or the effort commemorate one
1t is yet very evidently concelted one.
So far as the business men and the
tax payers of the city of Wichita are
concerned there is just one thing 10
do next Tuesday and that js II vote
the straight Republican ticket from top
to bottom. BY doing this. and IN the
election of which ticket everybody Will
know just what may be expected for
the next wo years, there viii he no ap-
prehension OF results, no question of a
straight forward business adminiStra-
ton of the affairs Of the city.

What is detective Sutton driving Sc
fast for?" said a man on Market street
yesterday.
Harry was coming up Market street
at a lively gait with Il tramp in the
buggy with him. 1t was Chief Mas
sey'S buggy and gray mare and the
people on Market street az once ar
rived at he conclusion that Harry had
captured d dangerous man.
1t was further supposed that the des-
perate man belonged TO a gang and
that the gang were after the detective
to rescue their conrad.
The Cray mare stopped short In from,
of the prison door at he city building.
The door was unlocked and the prisoner
thrust into the hall and Sutton ran up
to headquarters.
where is Bedford Wood, chief?''
said Sutton, greatly excited. There
is a great riot over on Fourth avenue
and l could not stop for fear my pris-
oner would get away"
The two detectives ran down the
steps jumped into the buggy and the
gray mare went up Williams street
just ouching the high places in that
unpaved thoroughfare. When they
turned down Fourth avenue only three
wheels were on the ground and the
third was in the air.

Sutton stopped the horse in front of
an old building in which there was an
unearthlv noise Wood jumped out
and ran against the door with such
force that it was nearly torn from its
hinges and 1T flew wide open.
Then the officers beheld three colored
women on the floor yelling and scream
ing and moaning and one of them
seemed to be pounding the floor with
her head.
What is the matter here?" yelled
Wood in a sort OF Indian war whoop
tone of voice that was distinctly heard
clear over to the Rock Island depot.
Then the women crawied up and one
old colored mother said: Dress Lo'd,
Mister Sutton. we is having a prayer
meeting and IL you don't look out your

Bedford Wood refused 70 ride back
and when Sutton drove the old gray
mare up To the station he said: Say
chief, don't say anything about this"
And Massey said he wouldn't.

WITH THE SPIRITS.
WEST SIDE YOUNG LADY HAS an
EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Unseen Hands Rub Her Face and Pat Her
the Same Unseen Hands Je-ked the
Clothes Away--Spirit Medium Consulted
and i'm a Searcc Found Out the Secret
of the Case--LOng Talk With Dead
Brother and Sister--It Was a Strange
Visit.

Quite remarkable ghost story comes
from the West Side
Miss Marshall lives with her parents
on the West Side. She is quite a
bright girl and has too much sense
to be mistaken in the experience she
has had with the spirit world A few
nights ago after going to bed she was
alarmed to feel hand passing over
her. face and patting her on the cheek.
She knew that there was on one in the
room and, of course, concluded that 1t
must have been the spirits. She very
naturally whipped the bed clothes over
her head and her feeling can be better
imagined than described. While she
lay there trembling an unseen hand
whipped the clothing off the bed and
Miss Marshall ran screaming from the
ROOM Search was MADE but nothing
in the shape of living being could be
found She would not return to the
room any more but her father, who
was more daring, did. and slept there
all night without being disturbed The
matter caused a good deal of worry 10
the family and they sent for neigh
Dor who is a spirituaiiSt. He came the
next night and with the family and
Two ladies who We're visiting there
formed a circle about he table. The
gentleman referred to is an excellent
medium, but it required twenty min
utes hard work OF him before he could
hold communication with the spirit
world. All at once the table tipped
towards Miss Marshall, thus indicat-
ing that she was their favorite in the
circle. Conversation by raps was then
opened between the medium and the
Spirits and, according TO the gentle
mans statements, the spirits who did
the talking were the brother and sis
ter of Miss Marshall who have been
dead for some years. They also ac-
knowledged that they were the spirits
that visited Miss Marshall in her room
the previous night. 4 long converse
ton was held with them and they
brought more news with them from
the spirit land than would fill a page
of the Eagle. It is alleged that they
identified themselves beyond a doubt
by statements concerning family
events that the medium could not pos
sibly have known. Before the medi-
UNI left that night it is related that
Miss Marshall, alone and uninstructed,
held conversation with her dead broth
er and sister, through the medium Of
table tapping.

! ing resolutions were in order, offered
| two more which were as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
| meeting that a careful conservative
estimate of the city's colectable reve-
| nue. for the next fiscal year ought to bS
made, and that the council upon its
f! organization ought to make appropria-
tions to the several departments, and
purposes for which expenditures are
necessary, on such basis as viii insure
| the total expenditures being kept
! within the collectable revenue, and the
| committee OF fifty are instructed to
| work to accomplish this end.
| Resolved. That the committee of fifty
be instructed to confer with the board
| of educa ton, upon its organization in
May next, and ende2vor to agree upon
such reductions in expenses as will in
sure the expenses for the coming school
year being kept within the collectable
revenue.
W. ]. Wilson TIM came forward and
said he had something to submit to the
meeting. He spoke at some length and
gave a long array of figures TO prove
that Wichita is Disseminated against
in the mater of freight rates.
Mr. Wilson seemd TO understand his
subject and he was listened to with
close interest. He said he had prepar-
ed two resolutions and he would sub
nit them. They were as follows:
Cognizant of the fact that the mayor,
city council and school board are elect
ed by the people and not being disposed
TO be efffcious or interfering with
them in the discharge of their duties,
but knowing the difficulties of the pub
lie officer in the discharge of his duty
owing TO the special claims and de-
mands OF conflicting interests, there
fore be ii
Resolbed by this mass meeting that
the city council and school board be
requested to submit a draft of all con-
tracts and franchises about to be let
and that the committee of fifty return
the same with their advice and recon-
incubation.
Realizing the necessity of just and
reasonable freight rates together with
the good Will and friendship of the
several railroad companies IN develop
ing the growth Of the city OF Wichita,
therefore, be it
Resolved. That after years of patient
endurance and with an almost strangl-
ed business staring us in the face,
brought about largely by unjust and I'm
reasonable charges for hauling our
freight into Wichita as well as hauling
our products outThat it is the sense
of this mass meeting that the commit
tee of fifty use every legitimate means
at their command to secure an ADJUST
ment of these determinations fair
rate to all and discrimination against
none.
Mr. Wilson's preambles and resolu-
tons were adopted and while the rate
question was up suggestion was
made to invite Mr.. Rohrbaugh to give
them light on that subject.
The suggestion seemed to please the
meeting and a motion to that effect
was promptly adopted and the secTe-
tary was instructed to invite Mr..
Rohrhaugh to address the citizens meet
ing on the matter of railroad rates
next Friday night.
