Therefore be ii

O stricken hearts what spell shall move

What charm shall lift that grief away,
Which like leaden mist before thee
shuts out the shining OF the day?
But the battle strife is ended:
He has scaled the hindering wall,
And has taken of the armor
OF the soldier. that is all!
Would you hide him from his pleasure!
Would YOU hold him from his rest,
! From his serving and his waiting
! He is called 10 be a guest!
| or its heavy hurtful burdens
Now his spirit is released:
He is done with fasts and scourges.
And is hidden 20 the feast.
| Then lift IN your dropping eyelids
| And take heart OF better cheer;
! IT'S the cloud of coming spirits
! Makes the shadows that ye fear.
o -hey come 10 bear him upward
To the mansion OF the shS.
| And TO change as he Is changing
Is 10 live and not 10 die.
| Is TO leave the pain and sickness,
! And the shifting OF the rod.
| And 10 dwell among the angels,
| In the City OF our God

RIVER is BOOMING
IT Is NOW NEARLY AS HIGH AS THE
BIG FLOOD OF SEVENrY.sEVEN.

No Train in Last Night.

The river is still raging and rising.
At 10 o'clock last night he water was
higher than il has been at any time
since 1877.
Reports have reached the Eagle Of
fee from Hutchinson that the water
had been rising rapidly there since
o'clock. This tide will strike here
sometime this morning, probaly At 5
o'clock.
The express Office had a report that
the county bridge a Mt. Hope had been
washed away and was coming rolling
and tumbling down the current 1t
was expected to reach here at about
Q o'clock last night but as ii did not
come the report must have been false
or the wreck must have caught on an
island or the brush. 1t was also re-
ported that the Missouri Pacific bridge
at Hutchinson was swept away but
this report was denied at headquarters.
The food is particularly frisky south
of Maple street bridge. 1t broke over
the banks at the west end of Morris
street and covered the entire valley
west of Water street as far south as
the Wichita and Western railroad
bridge This occurred about O'Clock
Yesterday morning. The roar or the
water awakened VIII Francis who lives
next TO the river and when he went out
TO see what was up he looked upon an
ocean of water where nice green park
was when he went to bed.
Pat Twomy smelt water quite early
and went out to find himself surround
ed with the fluid. Pat was mad and
he proceeded at once to find another
house and by noon he had moved
Mr.. Wolf was next surrounded and
in half an hour afterwards Ed Schuster
popularity known as Shorty, was navi-
eating in about two feet of water. The
water gradually kept moving up until
IL reached within 100 feet of Water
street thus registering about twelve
inches higher than the flood OF last
year.
The home Of Mrs. Marsh was sur
rounded so that it was impossible for
her to move out or for any wagons 10
reach the house.
The people, however, enjoyed them
selves swimming. All the boys for
| ten blocks around basked in the waves
and not a few of the young ladies were
piloted about in their first efforts to
swim and enjoyed it as well as their
more fortunate sisters at Coney Is
land.

that so far as recent performances are
concerned trotting history has never
heen made so rapidly at such an early
period of the year. Up to two or three

and the three year old Directly has gone

made the best performance OF this IL
lustrious circle by taking race record
of 2:0514. No previous month OF any
previous year can equal this grand Sc

against John r. Gentry 2:034 at the
Freeport track, Illinois. 1t was expec-
ted to prove one Of the greatest events
in the history of harness racing and
horsemen all over America awaited the
result with much interest. The social
ed race was no race at all, Patchen
throwing a shoe in two heats compelled
his driver, Curry. to pull him up. 1t is
expected that another match race viii
be made between these same horses
and that Curry will find some way TO
have 10 Patchen's shoes fastened on
to stay.
so evenly matched are these horses
and so great has been the racing career

H. Calvin, the Paramount ice man,who
robbed on East Twenty-frst street at
$50 O'CLOCK yesterday morning and
thrown from his wagon and seriously
injured.
The pertrators of the bold robbery
was a colored man with brown duck
Ing shirt and a white man with gray
coat.
Mr.. Colvin has an ice route on Fair
mount and he gets his ice of the pack
ing houses and had just loaded his
wagon and was going to make his de-
liveres when he was held up.
When near Chisholm creek he met
white and a colored man in the street
tittel dreaming that they were nigh
waymen.
Mr.. Colvin had scarcely passed the
two men when an arm was passed
around his neck and while one of the
men bent his body backward over the
seat the other searched his pockets.
When the robbers had secured their
helpless victims money, between SO and
flo. they threw him from the wagon,
fracturing his ribs and rendering him
unconscious.
J. W Skinner who lives near by the
place where the robbery occurred, came
10 MS door ana seeing the team Sldilu-
ing in the road and q man lying on the
ground ran to his assistance.
The horses in fighting the flies had
ran the wagon over Mr.. Colvip which
may have been the cause of his frac-
tured ribs.
When the daZed man recovered con-
seriousness he related the incident and
search was instituted for the robbers.
The men could be seen nowhere in the
streets and It was surmiSed that they
had gone into the timber on the creek.
Mr.. Skinner went into the tibber and
saw tracks where the men had crossed
q small branch but he could see moth
ing of the men.
Mr.. Colvin, feeling the worse for his
experience, drove his team on home and
MIR. Skinner came down to the city to
notify the authorities of the robbery.
The police were out searching along
the creek all the afternoon and officers
In the city kept a sharp lookout ex-
pecting that the robbers would make
their way into the city but nothing
could be I'd of them.
officers Wood and Sutton, who are
acquainted with all the crooks in q
hundred miles OF Wichita, are of the
opinion that the men do not belong
here

His letter Not Yet Received Here Int e ID
How the Place In the Ticket VA be
Fiiied-The Australian Lev - PiAin on
the Subject and . Convensioa viii
Doubtless be Caled-1here ere Many
Aspirsnt for the Place Already ~ the
Field.


Republicans who take an interest in
county politics were as busy as bees
yesterday and last night, their agita-
ton being based on the report that
Judge Reed Is about TO decline the nom
iration.
Five candidates for his place are al
ready in the field and their friends have
their coats pulled of for them
II was reported that Judge Reeds
letter declining the nomination was al
ready in the possession OF a friend OF
his, but that is mistake.
The judge will probably write let
ter 10 that effect but if he does il viii
not appear before August /. That, at
least, is indicated in a letter received
from him by Mr.. Naftzger. president
of the Fourth National bank.
The reason OF Judge Reeds desire TO
decline the nomina ton is the fact that
he has an offer Of partnership in one
Of the leading law firms OF Chicago.
Judge Reed has not definitely accept
ed the offer, but his friends say that II
is too good to refuse and that he Will
undoubtedly accept It.
The offer was really made. him before
he was nominated for the judgship for
the third term, but he did not then give
il as much consideration as he after
wards did when he visited Chicago and
ascertained the professional standing
of the firm in question.
All indications now point to the prob
ability that the judge will decline; in
fact it almost entirey safe to say that
he will. At present he is in Chicago.
The issue now is how Will his success
sor be chosen?
A great many think that the place
will be filed by the county central COM
mittee, but IL is not likely that the Re-
publicans at large will consent 10 that.
Besides the Australian law tells what
shall be done. Section 3. Mr.. Wilson
says. governs the matter. II contem-
plates that If there is not a reasonable
time to call a convention then the COM
mittee may fill the vacancy. but II
there is a reasonable time which In this
case would he three months. then the
law contemplates a convention.
Frank w. oliver, one of the closest
personal and political friends OF Judge
Reed, was seen last night and he said
you can say from me that Judge
Reed has not declined, and l do not
think he will decline. l am positive
that he will make the race and will win

the story started, but 1 am sure there

CANNOT PLEDGE THEM.
Justice Walker Holds that . Man Cannos
Pawn His Wife's wxrdrohe.

There was a case in Judge Walkers
court yesterday that attracted con-
siderable attention because OF the Pc
culiarity of the case
Z. l.. Barrick and his wife were board
ers at the Topeka avenue hoted and Mr.
langley, the proprietor of the motel,
attached two trunks one belonging 10
Burrick and the other TO his wife.
The hoted proprietor claimed that
Burrick had pledged the trunks and
contents for the bill and Mr.. Burrick
admitted il was his understanding that
the baggage would be held for the bill.
Mrs. Burrick. however, entered
mild protest and said that she did not
propose to have her good clothes taken
for any board bills.
Judge Walker decided that Burrich
was under obligation to provide MS
wife with clothes and that he had nc
right to take them from her or pawn
them.
He also held that Mrs. Burrick could
not be held for the hoard because hei
husband had made the contract for hel
board and that il was her husband
duty to provide his wife with food
Mr.. Barrick was held for the bill and
the attachment was good so far as nj:
goods and luggage was concerned.
