An Ovation,

The Wellington band met with
quite an ovation at Eldorado Monday
night. Eldorado is the capital Of
Butler county and is a beautiful little
city of between 1900 and 1000 inhab-
itantS. 1t boasts two OF the best
dailieS in the state.
The first person the writer met was
Prof. l.. Tomlin, formerly superin-
tendent Of Wellington's schools. He
has held the position of superiLtend-
ent Of schools at EldOrado for five
years and was reelected this year by
reclamation. His son Will, who has
many friends here, looks well and
hearty.
EldOrado complains greatly about
hard times. There is nothing peculiar
about the place except the young
bloodS, who are in state of chronic
bankruptcy, and the girls, who are
simply indescribable, but, as Long.

The corn train arrived at about s
O'Clock, and the band marched uI
town and, after supper, gave a street
concert. The thorOughfares were lit.
orally jammed with people, and it
eened as though every man, woman
and child were out. Loud applause
followed each selection, and the crowd
went nearly wild with cheering and
shouting and waving of hats to the
champion band of Kansas. The mu-
steal people Of EldOradO-and it is
quite music-lOving tOwn-say with
one accord that the Wellington band
is the best in the state.
A goOdly number Of citizens were
down to view the train. We heard
a prominent man remark that, with.
out the band, the Mckinley corn
train would amount 10 nothing at all.
The painting on the cars is well done
and the artists certainly did their
part, although the weather is already
showing its effects and by the time
the train reaches st. Louis it will
doubtless need repainting. Where
the train lacks is in the style Of deco.

A Good Time at Wichita.

The majority of the Wellington
people who were in Wichita Mon
day to witness the Mckinley corn
train and hear the political speeches,
returned on last nights Rock Island.
They speak in praise of the train that
is to 60 to New York on an advertis-
ing trip for Kansas, and all agree
that the state owes great deal to
Syl Dixon for his enterprise.
Ex-senator John ]. Ingalls, and ].
R. Burton were the principal speakers
Of the day. C.E. Elliott, of this city,
and Others made short addresses at
the depot.
The Sumner county display was I'M
hesitatingly declared to equal any
thing on the train. 1t might be
mentioned here that Sumner county
did not contribute a dollar to the
display, and the Wellington band was
chosen to accompany the train at the
expense Of the promoters of the en-
terprise. An effort was made to
secure subscription here some time
ago, but it was fruitless.
The city knows that it can we'll be
proud Of its band, but those who saw
the boys in uniform that day and
heard the splendid music that was
rendered, cannot say enough in praise
of the band. 1t was the center of
attraction for an admiring crowd
throughout the cay.
The train moved off in two sections,
and cannon and musketry joined in
firing salute. About forty counties
were represented in the train. The
cars destroyed by lightning at Dat.
vile Sunday morning were replaced,
minus the decorations.
The Sumner county car moved of
with the first section, amid the cheers
OF Wellington people. 1t was artisti-
cally decorated with corn, and car

The train will proceed by day travel
to st. Louis, and in the event Of Nc
Kinley's nomination, will 90 on to

A False Campaign Cry.

Silver Knight.
The campaign Cry Of the Republi-
can party for the gold standard and
more taxation is sickening. The
immediate necessity Of more taxation
does not exist. The cash balance In
the Treasury on April 80, 1896, was
sl70,O00O0. The silver bullion,
known as seiniOrage, over and above
the amount Of the outstanding Treas
ury notes issued in its purchase, is
s55,OOO,0OO. 1t is the duty Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury under the
law to coin this bullion. Iicoined and
added to cash balance 10 the Treasury
it would swell the amount to s225, 0OO-
900. OF the s225, 900, 900, sll4, OOO,O 900 is
gold, s24, 100000 IS standard silver dol
and sll 100000 silver certificates, con-
yertible into silver coin, making s35-
900, 900 of silver coin available for re.
demption. This, together with the
50, OO0, 900 which 1t is the duty Of the
Secretary TO coin, gives $4,000, 900 Of
silver coin and bullion now In the
Treasury available for redemption of
greenbacks and treasury notes and
the payment Of the interest on the
national debt. Besides, a large part
Of the revenue OF the government is
paid in silver certificates which are
the same as silver coin, because the
government or any other holder Las
the right to exchange them for coin.
If the administl alton would use sill
yer as money for redemption money
as provided Dy law, and coin the silver
in the Treasury, there would be an
abundance of silver to redeem all the
obligations Of the government. But
if the government will not comply
with the law, and insists upon paying
gold on obligations which by law may
be discharged in silver, how will more
taxation relieve the situation? There
is already tied up in the Treasury
SD, 100000 Of the peoples mOney, and
the contraction Of the volume Of
money aud the depression Of BUSINESS
is fast destroying the capacity of the
people to pay and is reducing the rev.
euue. More taxation, il it Is possible
for the people to pay more taxes, will
put more money into the Treasury

The beast started again for his intend

attracted his attention from another
direction. The elephant paused,
flashed his trunk around furiously and
trumpeted with rage, and finally re-
treated to the other side of the tent.

Panic at a Show.

Terror relgned in the circus tents
of Sells & Forepaugh at Kansas City
Monday afternoon just after the
afternoon performance was over. The
Kansas City Star gives an extended
minute description of a fierce battle
with rogue" elephant belonging
to the show.
Dick, the most vicious Of the
nerd OF elephants belonging to the
aggregation, had an ugly mood and
came within an ace of killing his
keeper. In the midst of the excite
ment and shouts and the scramble of
the spectators to get away, the other
elephants realized that something
%as wrong, and trumpeted forth oml-
enous blasts and tugged at the chains.
Then the lions and the tigers roared,
the bears grOwled, the Important
splashed the water in their cages with
lmpatience and snOrted, and the
monkeys Squeaked, the whole Great
ing bedlam that completely drowned
the noise Of the rain storm without.
Dick had the trainer prostrate and
rwGs trying furiously to gouge him
with his immense tuskS, In the
melee the centerpOle Of the menagerie
tentwas struck by the elephant and
broken in two. Then policeman,
who had been attracted by the excite
3 ment, rushed into the tent with a
drawn revolver and was in the act of
firing at the ugly beast, when the
g circus employees interfered. They
knew that the shot would be as harm
less to the elephants hide as a paper
wad.and would only further infuriate
Ssle beast, while the report would be
likely to create stampede among the
other animals. 1t was half an hour
before quiet was restored.
The keeper, Joe Beatty, has been a
trainer of elephants for eight years.
Beatty was standing in front Of the
elephant, with his hand on his trunk,
when the elephant attacked him.
The big beast struck him blow with
his trunk that took him off his feet
and landed him thirty feet away
Beatty Immediately shouted; Bring
me the biggest hook" and when it
was handed to him he undertook to
chastlse the brute with blow square
ly between the eyes. "DicK" resented
this and knocked the keeper down.
Before Beatty could regain his feet
the elephant was upon him aud with
lowered head was attempting to gouge
him with his tusks. With adroitne SIS
