About the first Of every year, when the

Weeks Of Yaphank, N. Y, who Is now
past "A years of age, sends out sweeping
and world inclusive challenge to skaters.
Mr. Weeks is something Of poet, and
last year submitted to tho skating world

This year, however, his challenge Is In
prose and Is to the effect that he will meet
any person. 20 years offage or upward In o
skating contest, from 80 to 900 miles, al
lowing his competitor ono mile In every
ten. In tho matter Of speed and distance
no has to draw tho limo ht the age of 20,
but in fancy skating and dolineating on
the leo he is ready to meet oil corners re-
gardless Of ago or any Other condition.
He Is dosirous of meeting some ono who
wishes to skate any words or sentences in
the English language, colerity Of execu-
tion and symmetry of form to DO requisite

THE BAND READY
Young Americans Making Preparations for
Their

The concert to be given by the Young
American band at Garfield hall on We'd
nesday evening bids fair to be one of
the finest musical treats given 70
Wichita. Notwithstanding that the
musicians. many of them, are the
youngest in years that have ever ap-
peared before the public, they have been
trained TO that perfection which is
amazing and are able TO unravel the
most difficult pieces of music and
handle the several instruments with
that precision which is simply marvel

The leading violinist Is Miss Pearl
Thomas; soprano saXiphone. Miss Beat
rice Sanford; pianist, Miss Ester Roch;
first clariOnet, Audery Sanford; cOrnet,
Clarence Powell; Hazel Worral, the
baby violinist, only 61a years of age;
Fred Worrall, the mascot of the Sec
ond Regiment band; Price Limbaugh,
the youngest baritone solOist, and OH
ers. Their music must be heard 10 be
realized. The object of the concert is
to finish paying for uniforms. Come

CHANGE IN THE POLICE BOARD
Smith is President; McConless, Secretary,
and New Member Appoint Tomorrow.

There was change in the police com
mission yesterday and now Oscar Smith
is president of the board and Judge Nc
Candless conducts the quill, and it is
stated on positive authority that Gov
ernor Morrill, will appoint the third
member before the sun goes down to-
morrow. It is also positively stated
that the third member of the board will
be either r. r. Vermillion or Charles
Irwin.
Mr.. Irwin was met last evening by a
reporter for the Eagle and asked con-
corning the probability of his appoint
ment 10 which he said: Il have just
mailed a letter to the governor which
will take my name out of the race. l
don't want it, havn't time TO attend TO
it, and by gum l won't have ii. L have
all l can attend TO with my stock and
won't be mixed up in the matter"
Mr.. Smith had a long talk with the
governor and he seemed TO be well
pleased with the way business was at
tended to here at the present time and
the new board have determined that he
shall not be kept in the dark about any
thing in Wichita. There will be no
blind tigers, but everything will be
stated in black and white.

HE LICKED A SCRIBE
ME-. Bridgeman slaps One of the Beacon
Reporters.

Reporters.
There was war and rumors of war last
night Newt Bridgeman got the first
blood of the campaign and was very
anxious to get second blood, too. He
met Z. E. NJ Cochran, a reporter for
the Beacon. on North Main stree
and after asking him whether he wrote
a certain article and being answered in
the affirmative he went for Mr.. Coch-
ran and in his own language knocked
him ten feet into the street The fol-
lowing is the article written by Mr..
Cochran and which offended Mr..
Bridgeman:
Frank Burt in his endeavor to save
at least a part of his clique ticket is
around this afternoon telling the sa-
loon keepers what they must do.
He and Newt Bridgeman are in a
buggy, driving from one place TO an
other. and giving the saloon men who
live in the First ward TO understand
that they must support Swab or suffer
the consequences.
They are being instructed by Burt
and Bridgeman TO trade off Witbeck II
II is necessary to save Swab.
They are not asking that the saloon
men do this; they are simply telling
them they must support the SO-Cdllttl
Republican clique tomorrow"
When Mr.. Cochran gathered himself
up with a badly disfigured face he went
to the Beacon office. Hide out, Bridge
man is looking for youi" shouted the
alarmed and excited devil who had
heard that Mr.. Bridgeman was on the
war path, He has seen me-" said Mr..
Cochran and the devil noticed that he
had also Mr. Bridgeman. after dispOS-
ing of Mr.. Cochran, began searching for
Mr.. Hagney. the editor. but was unable
to run across him. They will probably
meet sometime today and if they do
somebody will get licked. Both are
pretty active men and, TO an outsider
who has never witnessed the mettle OF
either, the result is in doubt. If they
would only be cool about il and send
for Dick Plunkett to referee the bout il
would. no doubt, be quite interesting.
Newt is mighty hot and the boys say
that Mr.. Hagney is no coward. As the
Eagle reporters sleep in the forenoon ii
is hoped that the boys viii not run
across one another until late in the af-
ternoon. This is the only time that an
impartial writ-up of the meeting can be
secured. If Mr.. Hagney is licked then
the only man that Will stand in the way
10 make Nevis triumph complete IS
Farmer Doolittle. The Farmer Is not a
HEAVYWEIGHT. but he understands the
science of boxing pretty well and he is
a dangerouS man 10 mix with. He Is
not as heavy as Newt but he certainly
has the advantage OF him in the reach
OF the arm. Seriously speaking, Il Is
hoped that there will be no more
! trouble

SHOULD NOT BE DECEIVED
Republicans are Again Warned Against
That Citizens Ticket.

That Citizens Ticket
In exactly two hours after the Eagle
reaches its readers this morning the
polls will be open and ready TO do bust
ness.
able to learn few wholesome facts in
that time.
The first thing a voter should learn
and impress his mind with is, which
ticket if elected Will best serve the in
terests of the people. There can be no
doubt on this question TO the men VINO
think, study and reflect.
The main point about ticket asking
public support is its responsibility TO do
the work which the people want it TO do
Responsibility in politics does not rest
with individuals any more. In private
life man may DE trusted until death
but in public life it is different. The
reason parties are sustained is to guar
antee to the people responsibility for the
men that they offer for public support
The two great parties are the Republic
can and Democratic organizations.
Both have been regarded for forty
years as being responsible. True the
Democratic party has been public
disappointment. but yet it is, to some
extent, responsible. IF ii said here is
ticket and we pledge party honor that
it is all right" a few people no doubt
would consider themselves safe in vot-
ing for it, but here is ticket before the
people today that has not a party
pledge behind it The people at large
have some reason to be wary Of q DEM
ccratic ticket under the most auspici-
Gus circumstances; what, then, do they
think of ticket that that party, poor
as its record is, withholds its indorse-
ment from. The ticket that the Demo-
cratic party is not willing TO own pub
licly. although it is its mother, is not
worthy of the consideration Of the pub
he, no matter what the personal and
business character Of the men who COM
pose it is. The Citizens ticket is the
child of Democracy but Democracy does
rot claim it. 1t wants the public to
support 1t and then claim the spoils
that would result from its success.
The other ticket is a Republican tick
ct 1t was duly nominated by the Re
publican organization in this city. The
ward conven tons were duly and legiti-
mately called by the regularly elected
and authorized chairman and secretary.
Republicans of all classes attended
them and had a voice in the selection
of the candidates put before the public.
Every man was selected by fair means,
every man is a taxpayer and a reputa-
HE citizen. The entire ticket stands Is
a representative of the party and IS
backed by the name and responsibility
of the party.
The people know what the Republi-
can party is. They know that the Re-
publican party keeps its promises and
pledges. They know that the party
stands for efficiency and economy in
the public service. The party does not
represent a clique or gang; it represents
the citizens generally and especially the
business man, taxpayer and wage earn
er. In times like these the public serv-
ice demand a council that must stand
responsible TO the people and hence the
Republican ticket should be elected

and for the general interest OF the
schools as a system.
A feeling that each grade must cover
a specific amount of work often is de-
structive TO the best results. Quality
Of work should always be subordinate

thoroughness Will permit.
Every pupil should realize that his
