NARROWLY ESCAPED AFFIRMATION
Man ut the Manhattan Blew Out the Gas
Ipon Retiring.

Mr.. Ed McKerney of Kingman came
into this city Friday right in order TO
put in the full day yesterday. He was
registered at the Manhattan and was
assigned room. 1t is not known just
what time Of The night he went to bed,
but it was quite Gate in the evening when
some one passing through the hail dis
covered the odor Of gas. The night
clerk was Informed OF the discovery
and the porter made strong attempt
TO awaken the occupant of the room.
Failing in this the porter climbed
through the transom and shut off the
gas. Mr.. McKerney was quite well an-
vanced into the state OF aspn ySla, but
he was finally resucitated, and when told
OF his narrow escape from death sure
and certain, he exclaimed "Bumph If
you'd let me be I'd just come ID in
the morning and voted for Jerry Simp-
son first thing" He had a a very mar
row escape and If some one had not hap
pened along that han about the time
they did. he would never have had the
opportunity of making the awakening
remark which he did.

STAY BY THEIR PARTY
Leavenworth Soldiers Home has One
Bryan Man Only,

Mr. ]. B. Palmer Of North Market
street returned from LeaVenworth last
Friday. where he had been attending
the Grand Lodge I. o. o. F., which was
in session in that city last week. Dur
ing his stay there he spent some time
at the National Soldiers Home among
old comrades, whom knew during the
war While there he made diligent IN
curry among the inmates Of the home
to ascertain the exact status Of affairs
among them politically. He found that
among the 800 inmates or nearly that
number, only one poor lonesome sup
porter of Bryan could be found The
Inmates had made diHgent search for
any Others, should any be within the
institution, but they fail TO find them
Mr. Palmer also stated that among
the members Of the Grand Lodge all
who had been prevailed upon to express
themselves, had stated that their diff
ferent neighborhoodS in their opinion,
were irrevocabiy in favor OF William
Mckinley Only a few of the members
hesitated to express their views, and
where they displayed and reticence in
expressing themselves the question was

SERVED ON THE STAGE
Rev. Mr. Botkin Gets Inspiration to Talk
Free Silver.

Rev. Jerry d. BetkIn, the clericalfinan
cier who is bowling free silver all over
the prairies of Kansas and giving poin-
tiers TO John Sherman, Carlisle, Ricardo
and others on the none question, met
with little experience yesterday that
brought him jam UP against the fnan-
oial problems in a forcible manner ID.

sued him for debt Of about s.. 600 and
while Mr.. Botkin was on the stage at
The Populist meeting doing the amen
and that's right" act to Senator Lee
cy, a good Pepulist deputy sheriff
mounted the stage and served the pa
pers on the reverend gentlemen. If IL
had been a Republican sheriff who did
that Mr., Botkin and his cohorts would
howl themselves blind about it, The
debt was originally 500, and now 1t is
1900. The reporter for the Eagle did
not learn the merits of the case, but
Mr. Dunbar informed him that it was
originally the result of real estate
deal. 1t would be outlawed in a few
days and ii was for the purpose of keep
ing il alive that Mr.. Dunbar brought
the suit He wants to know whether
Mr.. Botkin, if he goes 10 congress and
gets free silver viii make times good
enough TO pay the note.

SETTLED AT LAST
HARMONY AGAIN PEROnES ON Re-
PUBLICAN BANNER.
Way was Paved Yesterday for a Glorious
Local Victory-C. NJ. Jones and e. n
Bridgeman Both Withdrew From the
Race and G. W. Simmons was Appointed
in Their Stead-Cyrus Leland Fixed the
Matter Up-Both Republican Commit
tees Agreed to the Proposition-Mr.
Simmons an Old Timer.

Yesterday Mr.. S. N. Bridgeman and
Mr.. Charles NJ. Jones, rival Republi-
can candidates for clerk of the district
court, rendered their withdrawal 10
County Clerk Denny, thus causing a va
cancy in the ticket for that office.
Immediately afterwards the county
commissioners held a meeting and by
vote substituted Mr.. Charles w. Sim
mons for that office.
The committee, of which Mr.. Cofbett
Is chairman, being notified of the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. Simmons, agreed to
and confirmed it and thus the differences
that disunited the Republican party Of
Sedgwick county Were healed and all
are now prepared to work together in
rolling UP the largest Republican ma
FORTY that Sedgwick county has had in
several years.
The reconciliation between the divid
ed Republicans was brought about by
Mr.. Cyrus Leland Of the national COM
mittee. He came here a few days ago
and talked with each committee. Then
he talked with subcommittee at night
in which meeting 1T was then agreed to
spring the name of Mr.. Simmons as
gentleman who would be acceptable 10
both sides.
Mr.. Simmons is a business man of this
city and one of the best men in this
county. He has always beer a loyaland
true Republican. a hard and earnest
party worker, one whom every man in
this county has the utmost confidence
in. an old settler and man who ought
TO lead his ticket in this county if there
is anything in popularity and an ire
proachable character.
The selection OF Mr.. Simmons met
with the most hearty APPROVAL by every
Republican who heard of 1T and all are
glad and confident because of the settle

day OF success in Rice county. His meet

accompanied him say that the en1hu-

most gratifying. There were three
big meetings at Lyons this year. It was
there ex-senator Ingalls, opened his cam

ed in yellow as a feature was not bad,
but it did not evoke the enthusiasm that
was expected.
the main part OF the parade formed
west of the bridge, marched east to
Fourth avenue, thence TO First, thence
TO ETlporia, thence 10 Douglas and
counter marched west to Main and
thence north 10 the court house where
1t dispersed. 1t was led by Doc KEGS
ler's drum corps.
There was a touch Of sadness in the
parade. Every Populist in the process
sion knew that in the front carriage sat
Governor Leweiling side by side with
Leedy. Every Populist, moreover.
knew that Lewelling's first adminL5tra-
ton had been repudiated by Leedy and
his crowd and knew that IL the Brieden-
thai gang in Kansas had not been black
with base ingratitude IL would have been
Lewelllng running for governor today in
stead of his enemy, at his side, who eg-
cry Popuhst In Sedgwick county believes
is an inferior man 10 Lewelling. Then I.
P. Campbell presented another sad
sight. He wasn't yelling as he used 10
do. Campbell made brilliant fight
for the state senate last year and lost.
But a defeat with the PopuiisIs ~ a VET
diet Of guilty and Campbell felt yester-
day. as ne moseyed along in the process
sion. that me was back number. Next
came Arthur Helm apparently enjoy
ing himself, but wondering all the time
why Sam Anlidon, who even tried 10 dis
guise himself in the parade, should be
preferred TO him. Irwin Stratton was
also there with the lorn, lean, lank
Rosinante which he keeps for sole use
in Populist parades. The states that are
made up no longer contain the fine name
of Stratton, out Irwin IS still true. Still
he was sad and so was Rufe Cone. al
though he tried TO shake il off. Rufe
yelled Historically, but in the glitter OF
many an eye as he passed he saw some
Popuhst'S joy over the fact that Rufe
Cone ran behind Dale and the rest in the
last fall. Jesse Haymaker
didn't trail in with the procession. Tom
Fitch hid out all day. Colonel Huffman
had nothing 10 do with it and wouldn't
even say il was a good parade. Harry
Stewart kept away from it. not even
wearing a badge. In fact all the Dam
ocrats except RUFF Cone fought Shy of
that procession. The fact is that the
Democrats know that the farmers are
in their political beliefs
and it sort Of makes the local Democrats
feel snsaking 10 think the way they have
been bambcozling them Jesse Hay
maker and Sam Amidon, Harry Stewart |
and the rest, have no more sympathy |
FOR a Popu,ist than Grover Cleveland |
has for Tom Watson, and they know /

OF their claims. Biggest crowd ever

RELIGION ~ NEW-IORK.

The religious and sociological canvass OF this
city, which has Just been finished by the Fed
GRAFTON OF Churches and Christian Workers, has
br Fought out some suggestive facts. 1t Is shown
that New-York r. in advance Of all other Amer
can cities in densty Of population. and. in
fact some districts in il have greater popula
ton per acre than any Of the great cities OF the
world South Of the Harlem River the density
per acre last year was 123.2 per cent. against
1872 In Paris. 1886 In Berlin 61 s in Toxic and
591 in London. This seems to Indicate the
difficult character Of religious work I'm New
York. Not only have the churches an cnor
mously large number Of people 10 take care Of
assuming that the population Of the city Is ni
least nominally Christian but large percent
age Of the population are foreigners, who must
be reached. II al all, in their own tongue. and In
many cases by methods very different from
those employed in reaching Englsh-speakng
people
In order to get at some concrete facts the
Federation made detailed canvass of that
portion of the city lying west Of Eightl-ave
and between Forty-third and Fifty-third sis
This district has n total population Of 39,929. Of
whom 1881 were canvasscd and 1t has twelve
churches. OF the number caLvassed there were
q naticnalitcs, SIT families with 81, 100 men-
bcrs. including 1876 boys and 7,li3 girls. In
addition to these there were 1.51S male and S7S
female bOarders OF this total Of 81 SOL 10
were wale-carncrs and 2.Ol7 Sunday workers
OF the 1928 children 1i,1I4 were baptized
S,65i were Of Sunday-school age from five
to twenty years., aid 5,2lS were in the
Sunday school and 1896 ont. or the GO3G
children Of public-school age dive 10 four
teen, 1917 were in the schools and $50
out. The non-church members numbered 1j-
Gl2; the church members. 1920 The church
attendants were 15,4l5: the nOn-church attend
ants. 1916. The total number of baths for the
entire district was 1037, or one for every eight
families.
The erection Of a church building in any To-
cality is not undertaken, as rule, until there
is n demand for 1t. But apparently that is not
always the true policy in city; for the can
vass shows that when churches are remote
from the people, the people are absent from the
churches. Although the population In this dis
trict is very Dense the district Is weak In
churches, and what is true OF II is, in measure
tue Of other districts OF the city.
An interesting feature OF the Federaton's re-
port is its treatment Of the question, How shall
the Church reach the non churchgoers? 1t pro-
poses that In the district already referred to
the different Christian denominations shall take
