SHE TOOK TWO DRESSES
The Texas Cattle Queen Accused of Rob
berry on south Fourth.

Two more unfortunates are mourning
their acquaintance with Mrs. Wagner.
the Cattle Queen of Texas" whose ex-
PLOTS were recorded in yesterdays Ea-
gle. Her latest victims are two wo-
men on South Fourth avenue who, by
dark and mysterious ways, came into
the possession Of two silk evening dres-
SeS
While Mrs. Wagner was painting the
town, she had Of course TO see Fourth
avenue, for 10 see Wichita by gaslight
without seeing Fourth avenue is like
seeing New York without the Bowery
or the Worlds Fair without the midway
These two women did not meet Mrs
Wagner in evening dress which they
should have done in order 10 properly
receive the Lone Star Queen. In
stead they entertained her in their mo-
Their Hubbards while their silk dresses
hung peacefully on a pair of nails be
hind the door. They tasted literally
of the Texas Queens Hberality and
when the royal party departed the
girls hardly knew they were alive.
Shortly afterwards they knew more
than they desired 10 know. They knew
that their silk dresses were gone and
now they are in mourning and in hard
times costumes. They have appealed
TO the police but Mrs. Wagner is be-
yond the Jurisdiction of Judge fuckers
court.
This same Texas Cattle Queen tried
10 run a sandy on the people down at
Winfield before she came here, but her
work was too coarse and the sturdy
marshal Of that city who does not wear
such respondent brass buttons as the
boys up here do, gave her two hours
TO leave the town. That he was liber-
al with her was proven by the fact that
she shook the dust of Winfield from her
feet in just twenty minutes.
She then tried Wellington but there
she found a savage city government
and she did not tarry long. OF course
Winfield and Wellington are jay towns
in the estimation of the up-to-date
sports of Wichita, but Mrs. Wagner's
fiat money did not have that respect
in those places that il commanded here.

MONTANA DEMOCRATS IN SESSION
indOrse the Action of the BoIting
silver Men,

Butte. Mont, June 20.-The democratic
state convention met here this morning
M. =. Parker of jefferson county was
chosen temporary chairman and Sydney
Fox of Sweet Grass temporary secretary.
The chairman said one of the great issues
before the people was free and unlimited
coinage of silver al a ratio of l6 to RI
ferring 20 the bolt of the silver delegates
at the ST. Louis convention he said:
The action OF the men who resented
the attempt to saddle a gold standard on
them will meet with the appreciation of
the people,
After the appointment of committees a
recess was taken to p. m. to give them
time to work and to await the arrival of
some delegates delayed by washouts on
the railroad.
The principal part of the platform was
follows:
AS question overshaGowing all 9th
ers which today engages the thoughts
ana aHects the welfare of the people of
the United States we are in favor of the
restoration of silver money as 1t ex-
listed prior to its covert demone tization
IN 1913 For this purpose we demand
that the mints of the United States he
opened to the free. coinage of silver as
well as gold at the ratio of Ii to t. with
out waiting the action of any other ma
ton. We declare 1t as our belief that
the decentralization Of silver is the prime
cause of its depreciation and also of the
general stagnation that exists in all
branches OF industry and trade through
out the United States. and that perma-
nent prosperity can be restored ONLY nv
the restoration of silver to it's former
place of money equally with gold
One delegate wanted to instruct the
delegation to vote for Bland, but no in
structions were given.
The following delegates to Chicago
were elected by reclamation: w. A. Clark
of Butte. Samuel T. Hauser of Helena.
Eugene ID. Motifs of Anaconda There was
contest over the other three places. and
w. G. Downing of Great Falls. j. NJ. Fox
of Red Lodge and Paul A. Fusz of Gran
lite were elected.

ARE GIVING M'KINLEY A REST
scenes Mt Canton, Ohio, Are Becom-
ing Less Stirring.

Canton, o.. June 2l.-Sunday has
brought temporary peace and quiet to
the citizens of Canton. Aside from the
profuse decorations that greet the eye
on every hand, there has been no sign
of the stirring scenes of the past week.
This morning Governor Mckinley and
Mrs. General Russell Hastings accom-
panied by Captain Heisland. drove to
the First NJ. f. church. The church was
crowded and Governor McKinleys fellow
church members gave him IA warm greel
ing. Fifty newspaper reporters were pres
ent. The pastor. T. p. Edmunds. chose
for his text. Make your calling and cleo
ton sure. for If We dc these things we
shall never fall
Dr. Edmunds made his sermon person
ally applicable and re ferred in happy
manner to the result of the St. Louis con-
yention last week
Among the letters received by Major
Mckinley today were the following:
Mansfield, June 20.-To Hon william
McKinley-My Dear Sir: | have not hur
ried in sending you my congratulations
on your nomination as the next president
of the United States, but it is none the
less hearty and sincere. will gladly do
all can to secure your triumphant ele"-
ton. Very truly yours.
JOHN SHERMAN"
Senator Davis of Minnesota wrote from
St. Paul. saying: Permit me to add my
congratulations to the many you are re-
ceiving. Your nomination is a fulfillment
and realization of republican principles
decreed by the people themselves. I feel
sure that history will date from that
nomination the greatest epoch of pros
perity for the American people they have
ever enjoyed. Sincerely. c. X. DAVIS"

TEXAS DEMOCRATIC SILVER MEN
Are Not AverNe to TeIler'a IndOrse-
ment by the Party.

Austin, Texas, June 21.-Some of the
silver delegates to the state democratic
convention which meets next Tuesday
arrived in this city today. They state
that individually they are not at all
averse to the Endorsement of Teller by
the democrats; that as the issue of the
campaign was 10 be silver and gold. they
believed all factions, irrespective of party
lines, would affiliate to win the battle;
that Teller would poll strong republi-
can following. and that If the democrats
and populists Endorsed his canvass and
supported him he would undoubtedly be
the next president.
Many of the silver democrats who ar
rived today say they will work in the
state convention Tuesday for an indorse-
ment Of Teller. and they believe they can
secure the Chicago delegation for HIM
The sound money convention, which also
meets here Tuesday, will. of course
send a gold man to Chicago and will
indorse Cleveland and Carlisle.

given by Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Turner
and Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Turner in honor
of DIR. and Mrs. Albert Butler, of Coop

social event, and will be long remem-
bered by the many guests assembled.
The house was trimmed in dogwood,
smilax, lilies-of-the-valley and lilacs;
and it presented a beautiful sight.
The Messrs Turner and their good
wives received their guests with usual
gracious hospitality, and presented
them to their visitors in whose honor
the affair was given. We hope Mari
ettibns made as good an impression on
the visitors as they made on us.
Doing the honors in various capac-
tiles were Miss Sleigh, Miss Lund,
Miss Dawes, Miss Tinker, Miss
Knowles, Misses Hope and Mary
Turner. Miss Dora Turner and Miss
Bertha Warner, who added much to
the ease of the entertainment.

has powerfully reacted upon us, quick
ening our pace and helping us to throw
over our latent conservatism. War be-
tween us would stop our progress for a
century. Its one result would be to
throw the balance of power into the
hands of nations whose methods of
government are just what the Anglo
Saxon race justly detests. There is
no real freedom in the world even now,
except where our race holds sway.
I'm your war e. it was the general
hostility of our upper classes which
caused resentment on your side, and
Americans never to this day have un-
derstood that the mass of our people
were for the Union. Had it not been
so had we still been in the dark ages
of George I'LL, war would certainly
have occurred. 1t was the, psoplst9f

lowed the events of this year; but l
sincerely hope they, will not recur in
my lifetime. What ! feel most is a
sort of helplessness to overcome your
dislike-which must mainly reside
among part of your population which
does not and never will honor English
men or their history. How can we
break down this dislike?"
