Mr.. Harper 5. Cunningham of Guth-
RE was in the city yesterday, having just
returned from Kansas City and north
west Missouri on a business trip. He
expressed himself as well satisfied that
the itts Dennis OF Oklahoma would
again give the lie 10 his name Or, in
other words, he would simply allow Mr..
Callahan TO have the name of Dennis,
but never that of Flynn. Dennis has

Considerable interest was manifested
in the county election and bets were

Make Anything by Sending Jerry tc
Republican Congress-Ths Winning Man
Must be in Harmony With the A dminis-
tration 1t Washington.

Bryan is hopelessiy defeated. Every
body admits that What, then, is the
use in electing Jerry Simpson TO a
house where he viii have no influence?
What is the use in accrediting him TO
an administration where he viii be a
stranger? AT this time the duty of every
man is plain. Elect a man who will be
in harmony with congress and IN har-
mony with the president.
There is not man in the state who
will not admit that Mr.. Long IS better
Representative than Mr.. Simpson; there
is not a man in the district who VIII not
admit that he is ADLER in every respect.
Why, then, is it not the right thing 10
elect him?
The people do not fully realize what a
powerful man Mr.. Long IL. Another
term will put him forward as one OF the
biggest and ablest men in national life.
Great men have come Wichita TO speak
this year. Men of national fame have
spoken here. Yet, it is fact, that from
a standpoint of convincing logic, his
toricai inforTna ton, simple and forciole
presentation. his speech on the national
issues stands without peer. Warner
Miller of New York with the prestige OF
Jos+ph 3. Foraker, the acknowledged
leader of the Union soldier element. has
had his say and Tom Reed, the great
parliamentarian, has spoken, but the
speech of Chester l. Long went near 10
the hearts and intelligence of the people
than any of them. Kansas should be as
proud Of a great man as Ohio, New
York or Maine. Kansas should be as
willing to honor one. Wichita and
Sedgwick county will do il. Other coun-
ties have said that Long was safe every
where but in Wichita Sedgwick county
will send back the message tonight that
If Long is safe everywhere but IN Wich-
ita ne will be elected by pronounced
majority that will show 10 al TIE world
that Wichita is not a calamity town and
that Sedgwick is not calamity county.
The people Of Wichita, as a rule, are
young and ambitious. They are the
men who would naturally stand by a
man such as Chester l. Long. 1t is al
most certain that they can be depended

RUNAWAY on DOUGLAS AVENUE
Futile Attempt to BULLY a High Strung
Animal


Last evening about $50 o'clock two
unknown men were driving west on
East Douglas avenue wnea their horse
became frightened at an electric car.
The man who was driving endeavored
to compel the horse 10 travel along be-
side the car, but the animal was higa-
spirited one, and only became more ter
rified and when Lawrence avenue
was reached was so frantic 10 GET away
that she became perfectly uncon trollable
and dashed down Douglas avenue at a
terrific pace. Luckily. there was moth
ing in the way OF the flying rig and the
outfit dashed on down Douglas and
passed main street like a shot. When
they were within about hundred yards
OF the bridge the horse, either from ez-
bauStion or some other cause. fell upon
the paving while under full speed Both
shafts were broken and the harness was
damaged somewhat and this beside a
few cuts which the horse received was
all the harm done. The owner OF the
horse who did the driving refused 20 dis
close his identity. The motorneer who
ran the car which the horse became
frightened al, stated that he ran slowly
so as 10 let the men go on ahead. but
the driver continued 20 hold the horse
near the car for some distance. endeav-
oring TO compel her 70 travel along be-
side it in spite OF her fear. until she

above described
Some men who had been standing up
on the corner Of Douglas and Main for
some time. stated thar the same outfit
went east a short time before, and when
they came UP 20 the corner, the horse
showed great fear OF al empty car
which stood upon the track The driver
thrashed the horse numerically for her
tinidity but could not in tHis manner
aliay her fear. They then were seen 70
so east on Douglas avenue. and when

MONEY FOR THE TAx-PAYEK
How Judge Mystt Actually Dug mp Some
for edgwick County


a subscriber asks the Eagle in regard
TO Judge Myatt's work on an insane
record, mention of which was recently
made in this paper.
Judge Myatt's record in this matter Is
highly cOmmendatory. For years the
only record kept of Sedgwick countys
insane was in loose files which were
Carelessly handled and kept The state
asylums are overcrowded and admission
practically impossible at times In such
cases patients are cared for by a local
asylum at so cents a day. This 80 cents
a day for each patient is paid out OF the
state treasury. Judge Wyatt, when ne
went into the office gathered up all the
loose files. had q book called the Insane
Record made. into this he had copied
all the files discoverable and into this
hereafter a record OF all insanse cases
viii be put.
But Myatts most important work was
this; He discovered many cases where
Sedgwick county had not been paid by
the state Wyatt swooped down on the
state and got s.. 900 in arrears. This he
turned into the county treasury for the
taxpayers. That is just one feature OF
Myatts splendid administration For
this one thing the county commissioners
recently unanimously commended him

WON'T DO A THING To HIM
Man Who Thinks He'll Better Than Wichita
isVp Today.

Many a man today when he goes into
the booth will remember with a fond
warm sigh, a gentleman on the PopuIist
ticket by the name Of Jerry Botkin
Botkin hates Wichita. It may also be
remarked that Wichita is not bow-legged
from carrying an affection around for
Jerry Botkin- When the average Wich-
ita man today sees Botkins name on the
ballot, it will occur TO him that Botkin's
favorite expression in regard TO this
town is that he would rather live in
hades than have his name in our city di-
rectory. Botkin has been given every
opportunity 70 deny this. but has not
done IL Wichita win not do thing TO
him today.
