FRAUDULENT CLAIMS.
Enforcement Of Law at wichita Complete

Enforcement Of Law at Wichita Complete
Farce.
In recent interview printed In the
Topeka Capital, Police Commissioner
Lieursnce, of Wichita, states that the
law is being satisfactorily enforced in
that city and that the number Of places
which are violating the law has been
reduced to thirteen. It would not
seem that the presence Of thirteen
drinking places would have q tendency
to satisfy the people that an honest
effort was being made to enforce the
prohibitory law. One would naturally
be led to inquire why these thirteen
places were not wiped out. But now
comes the Wichita Beacon with state
ment that there are thirteen such
places and fourteen more, making a
total of twenty-seVen in all. The
Beacon states that this does not in
clude all such places, but that these
are the number the location Of which
is known generally by the public.
The following is the BeGcon'S
statement of the location of
liquor selling establishments: "On
Douglas avenue east of the Santa Fe
railroad there are four saloons; on the
same street, between Fifth and
Fourth, are two; between Emporis and
Fourth are two; between Topeka and
Emporis are two; between Lawrence
and Topeka are two and between Law
renee and Market are two. There are
four saloons on West Douglas, two on
North Water. There are two on North
Main between First and Second streets
and one between Second and Third,
and what is called the stock yards ter
ritory has four, making in all twenty.
seven"
Now the righteous redeemer admin
istration tells the public that the law
Is being enforced in Wichita and that
the sale of intoxicants is being stamped
out. The ordinary reader will wonder
what would constitute violation of law
in a city like Wichita, If under strict
enforcement there remain twenty
seven open joints, which are practically
saloons. 1t would seem that it would
be advisable for the State Temperance
Union to inquire into this matter.

Since the day Grover found il nee

to secure q majority on the repeal bill
against his own party, he (Grover) has
had one object in view, viz: the de-
struction Of the Democratic party In
the interest Of the single gold stand
ard, and he has done more TO destroy
the Democratic party than all the Re-
publicans have done In ten years. Wall
street is not expecting anything more
from the Democrats at present or
course, Grover is there yet and ready
to assist them in anything they may
want in the shape Of bonds. Wall
street dictates the platform for both
the old parties, and usually names the
candidate. Wall street wants but one
single gold standard candidate, and IL
is written on the wall that he is TO be

tics for them to nominate two honest
money candidates, 90 it would tend to
divide their vote.
The free coinage Democrats will be
allowed to control the Democratic con-
ventlon. To force a gold standard
platform and candidate on the free
coinage Democrats would drive many
of them to the Peoples party, or
it would tend to unite the silver element
of all the parties, which is the t0iSe
thing for as to do. Wall street expects
the Republican party to finish the work
so nearly done, viz: the destruction Of
silver and Of the greenbacks, the rivet
ing Of the chains on all born laborers
and the bonding Of the unborn. Eigh.

of the laboring millions. WillW unite

government, or will we cast our votes

o. p. the soldiers had a friend in whom
they could rely, that any affront or dis,

speedily resented, and that the statute

By comparing this with the Lew

that they have but one old soldier In

had five, and that even in the most

regardless of qualifications and placing
political fsvorites in their places. Let

FOUGHT 70 ROUNDS.
Zeigler Whips Abbott in Hot
Mill.
The Englishman Had Been Over
Trained.
JAKE KILRAIN THERE.
The Winner Will Have a Go
With Critic.

BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. 2O.-The inter-
national bout between Stanton Abbott,
champion lightweight of England,
and Owen Zeigler of Philadelphia, who
fought Jack McAu1iffe to a draw, oc-
CURED last night at the Eureka Athletic
club in the presence of 500 specta-
tors. Preliminary to the main event
Mike Roden, the "Canuck," of Ph11a-
delphia, and Abe Uhlman of Balti-
more, engaged in a ten-round battle.
The fighting was in Uhlman's favor
from the first. In the third round
Boden clinched and delivered several
savage blows after the call to ''break, )"
The referee therefore awarded the
preliminary contest to Uhlman.
Abbott and Zeigler entered the ring
at 10 o'clock. The Englishman was
accorded a generous reception as he
stepped inside the ropes. He weighed
1872, while Zeigler weighed 1875.
Abbott looked tri1e thin and over
trained, while Zeigler's muscles stood
out in punches and he looked to be in
the best of condition. Jake Kilrain
and Frank Farley were in the Eng
Gshman's corner and Turkey Smith
and D. L. Bailey assisted Zeigler.
George Mats of Baltimore acted as
referee.
First round-Zeigler landed on the
face and then on the breast. The Eng
ishman got in a face blow. He was
very cool, while Zeig1er danced around
the ring and 2unged viciously. No
heavy work this round.
Second round--Zeigler got in two
light face blows and rib rooster. The
Englishman fell to his knees and as he
rose Zeigler gave him terrible right
handler on the left eye, nearly closing
it. Abbott looked distressed as the
round closed.
From the third to the sixteenth
round Zeigler had quite bit the best
of it.
The sixteenth was a hot round, and
all in Zeigler's favor, closing with the
Englishman against the ropes, amid
showers of blows.
Abbott aimed some savage blows in
the eighteenth, but fell short. Zeig-
Ter delivered another sumner on the
neck, and the next moment gave the
Briton a terrific facer. The American
also had the best of the nineteenth.
The twentieth and last round was a
savage one, give and take, the Amer
lean getting it on the nose, and the
Englishman being stormed with neck,
face and body blows until he was
against the ropes. AS the gong sounded
the referee declared Zeig1er the win
ner. He will be matched against

Women at billiards.

A quarter of a century ago few ladies
INDUCED in billiard playing. The
billiard room was reserved for the men
of the house and for the male guests
for whom hunting was wearisome and
the drawing-room unattractive. But
to-day there are many country houses
both in this country and abroad, where
the ladies themselves have asserted
their rights to billiards and a billiard
room for themselves. In France, where
billiards is almost universally played
the game has become extremely popu-
lar in higher feminine circles. The
princesses of the English royal family
have contributed much to popularizing
the game throughout related courts in
Germany. Among the crowned heads,
who play billiards may be mentioned
the Dowager Czarevna, who is very
skillful at the game. Queen Mar
gherita of Italy is very fond of retiring
with her court ladies to her billiard
room, believing the exercise of the
game has a beneficial effect in retard-
ing her tendency to stoutness. Prin-
cess Leopold of Bavaria, the daughter
Of the Austrian imperial pair, is re-
ported to be a very graceful player, and
in her Munich palace she and her chill
dren have many interesting Journeys
in the afternoon hours. The queen
Regent of Spain was, in her girIish
days, a splendid handler of the cue.

Silver Democrats.

Gives Some Pointers for the Guidance Of
Silver Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Ex-Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, called yes
terday on Senators Jones and Harris,
members of the executive committee
appointed by the recent Democratic
silver conference, and suggested the
following proposition to be advocated
by the silver Democrats:
First-Repeal the tax on state bank
circulation.
Second-Admit silver to coinage at
an equality with gold at ratio of 10
to l.
Third-Retire all greenbacks and
coin certificates.
Fourth-Require national banks to
surrender their charters, and permit
them to take out state charters under
national supervision.
Fifth-Take the government en-
tirely out of the banking business.
Sixth-Stop the issuance of long
time bonds by the government. The
revenues should be enough to support
the government. But if it is necessary
to issue bonds they should be of small
denomination, in order that our own
people can invest their savings in them.
