IRWIN BEYOND A DOUBT
No Ex- Republicaus are Wanted In the Big
City District.

Several woody claims are being made
by the Populists about carrying the Old
city legislative district, containing the
Third, Second and Fourth wards. The
PopuhstS have never made an effort be-
fore to capture this district 1t is true
that they did run Farmer DoOlittle two
years ago on the assurance from Farm
er that he could get his friends regard
less OF politics to vote for him How
ever, the Democrats refused to endorse
Farmer, because ne had once been a Re
publican. The great American people
thereupon arose and fell upon Farmer
Doolittle, crushing forever an ambition
10 estCund Topeka, which had known
no bounds.
Now, this year UP bObs the Populists
with another candidate whose waist
measure is hardly greater than Doolit-
Ties. This is Charley Hatton. Already
several Democrats are circulating the
rumor around the ward that Hatton too,
like Farmer Doolittle. was once a Re
publican. The Democrats are not say
ing much. but there is a concerted
movement among them TO also rise up
and fall on the form OF Charles Hatton.
1t is thought, among the Democrats,
that by such risings UP and falHngs
down upon, they may ct last induce the
Populists in some dimly distant day to
violate a great precedent in nominating
some one for the Legislature who has
not in the course of his career de-
nounced every Democratic candidate
from the mutton-headed Buchanan up
to the pigheaded Tnden and down to
the bufl-headed Grover Cleveland. IN
til such a time the Democrats viii vote
for the Republican nominee. They are
already assuring Charlie Irwin of their

HOW ABOUT JNO DAVIS?
Test VIII be Made of the Gratitude of
the Wichita People.

The result of the candidacy of John
Davis will do more to test the spirit of
the people of Wichita and SedgWick
county than anything that will happen
this year. 1t viii demonstrate whether
or not there is any such thing as real
gratitude in the public at the polls.
Some claim politics knows no gratitude
that it is too cold to know it-while
others claim that the mere presence of a
ballot box does not change Of peoples
nature. If the latter are correct Mr.
Davis viii get a majority of 1900 in this
county. But what he ought 10 get and
what he will get are two different things
He and his friends should not depend
on what he ought to get. Every man
who believes that John Davis as an hon
est man. a friend of the taxpayer and a
friend OF every man VINO is fair-1ninded
and reasonable. should appoint himself
a committee of one to see that no clique
or combine can defeat him Or cut down
the majority he ought TO receive as a.
recognition of his sterling qualities as
man and a public officer. The fact is,
and there is no reason in denying it. no.
body is for John Davis but TIE people.
There has never been an officer in Sedg-
wick county freer from strings of every
kind and character than John Davis.
He allows nobody to run his Office but
himself. He does not allow it to be run
in anybody's interest but the people.
There is no smell of Doodle about 1T.
There are no scandals. There is no hush
money or no Matchmaking. He fiatters
no man nor can he be fiattered- In ev-
erything he is governed by reason and
honesty. He will not allow his Office to
be run by any one man to drive anoth-
err man to the wall. He gives everybody
a square deal. In all the history OF
Sedgwick county no squarer man has
ever 11erd an office. He could not be
otherwise. II is his nature.

fastened to the wall. The Eureka room
upon the other side of the building was
also badly smoked, as the door was
left standing open. The room furnished
by the Newton lodge was also smoked,
and the closet between it and the East
ern Star room was smoked, and the
paint had melted and run down the
walls.
The firemen did everything in their
power to avoid destroying any more OF
the woodwork than was absolutely nee
essary. Upstairs only one panel of the
elegant and costly wainscoating was
cut out to get at the fire. Many un-
thoughted persons would have torn the
entire side OF the hall out. Down stairs
the entire corner of the Winfield room
was torn out. The large door leading
into the hall had been removed, and
the fire had crept along the Intel TIL 1t
had reached the opposite side. The
studding are badly burned, and will
have to be replaced by new. No great
amount of damage has been done to the
floors save the blackening by smoke.
But the heavy and elegant doors in the
immediate vicinity OF the fire are badly
damaged
Mr.. Mccall estimated the damage TO
be between four and five thousand dol
lars. The fine woodwork and glass can
not be obtained short of Chicago. Con-
siderable plastering. painting, frescOe-
ing and plain cleaning VIII have TO be
done aside from the woodwor
Fire Chief Walden stated that a de-
fective fiue from a CRATE caused the
trouble, the fire working through the
back into the woodwork He desired
thanks be rendered Officers Bedford
Wood and Charles Burroughs for the
assistance they rendered in many
ways.
The committee on admission and dis
charge held their first meeting in To-
pelda last Tuesday and passed upon
number of applications for admission to

Mr. Benedict, an old man so yeors OF
age, from Sterling, being one, and three
little girls from OssawTatOmie the
others. All others were notified TO re-
main where they were until the build
ing is placed in suitable condition to re-
ceive them.
The following notice was requested to
be published by the Eagle and expresses
very forcibly what every one says who
knew of the work done, and the man.

SOMETHING ABOUT MYATT
Can Auy Living Man Offer a Reason VIII
lie Should be Defeated:

Mr.. A ]. Wyatt, the present probate
judge, is a candidate for reelection.
1t is the custom OF all parties when a
man is deserving TO give him two
terms Has Mr. Myatt under this Gus
tom earned another term? II not, why
not? Has Sedgwick county ever had
a better probate judge of any political
faith? If it has, who was he? Has Mr..
Wyatt, as probate judge. ever done a
thing in office contrary 10 the spirit of
an honest officer and a courteous gem
tleman? If he has, can any man point
it out? Can any man, either privately
on the stump or in the school house, say
that he has betrayed any trust imposed
upon him by the law? IL there is any,
he should be produced as a curiosity.
Has any man, great or small. poor or
rich, gone into his office and received
anything but the most courteous treat
ment? Can any man say that Republi-
cans have been treated with more con-
sideratiOn than Democrats, Populists or
PrOhibitionist by him? Has any person
appealed 10 him in vain for a dollar 10
relieve distress or 10 serve the cause
of charity? Can any one think OF a
Legitimate reason why Mr.. Wyatt should
not be reelected?

THEIR OLD TRICKS
LOOK OUT FOB FALSE REPORTS BY
THE P0P0ORATS.
Their Latest Lie Is That Reed Will Not be
Here Next Saturday-They are Circuiat-
ing IL Broadcast to Keep Their
People Away-They are Afraid That the
People Whom They are Deceiving VIII
Hear the Truth-Mr. Reed Will Posi-
lively be Here ana Maybe Colonel Ia
gersoll-Bryan Not Coming.

Some local Democrats are trying to
create the impression that Hon. Thomas
B. Reed of Maine will not be here next
Saturday. They are afraid OF the great
statesman. They do not want their peo-
pie to hear him because they are afraid
OF the truth.
Mr.. Reed will be here. A telegram
II is 50 positive and sure that already
arrangements have been made 10 take
him to Hutchinson that evening, where
ne viii take the Chicago flyer for Cali
fornia.
The local committee have ordered $500
worth of fireworks TO give in the evening
the greatest display ever heard Of in
Kansas.
The big tent with capacity Of $4,000
people has been ordered and WEI be here
tomorrow. Every arrangement will be
carried out without hitch 1t is likely
that Colonel Robert c.. Igersoll will be
here at night, but this is not so sure as
the arrived Of Mr.. Reed in the afternoon.
If Colonel Ingersoll is not here at night
his place will bit filed by Mr.. Cubbison
Of Kansas City. one of the greatest or
ators in the west
Wichita will nave the largest crowd in
the history of Kansas. One thousand
people are coming from Sumner county.
four hundred are coming from Harper,
and Mr.. Ed Moore of the Hutchinson
News. who was here yesterday, said that
all Of Reno county is coming.
The Democrats know that Bryan is not
coming to Wichita and because they are
disappointed themselves il hurts them to
see the Republicans get such a distin-
guiShed man as Speaker Reed.
Mr.. jerry Simpson. who was in the
city Sunday, received a telegram from
Chairman Jones saying that Mr.. Bryan
was not coming.

HE WANTS NO OFFICE
Mr.. Charles NJ. Jones Denies Political
Lie.

It has been stated for political pur-
poses that the object of Mr.. Jones
withdrawal from the race for clerk of
the district court was the promise Of a
deputyship under Mr.. Simmons. Mr..
Jones has already nailed the lie in a
most effective manner, but to be sure
that no one win be deceived he asked a
reporter for the Eagle last night to say
for him that he has asked nothing, that
he has been promised nothing, that he
would not take the place of deputy
clerk if it was rendered to him, that he
is not in politics in any sense and that
he does not intend TO he

Yesterday morning the safe IN the
gambling house at 20 North Market
street was blown open but It's contents
were not stolen.
The place is alleged 10 belong to Mr..
Isaac Varney of South Main street. and
the safe belonged to firm OF lowyers
who hoaned il 10 Mr.. Varney 10 avoid
storage.
1t was about o'c,ock when the people
IN the City hotel about twenty-five feet
away heard muffled sound which
awakened them, but they paid no atten-
ton 10 it, thinking that some article Of
furniture had fallen over.
The attempted robbery was Lot discov.
cred until late il the morning.
The safe blowers, who were amateurs,
evidently. drilled hole between the lock
and the knob OF the safe and inserted
dynamite. In addition they drilled two
holes on the top OF the safe and put dy-
Mantle in these also. The explosion tore
away the heavy iron door but did not dis
place the interior safe where about $1,000
in money and about $500 in diamonds
and jewelry We're kept.
Finding that the explosion did not
loosen the interior money box they fed.
knowing that it would take some time
to make second blast and afraid. in the
meantime. that the explosion would at
tract the police.
The officers have no clue to the thieves
but they are satisfied that the work was
done by locad amateurs who knew some
thing about the place and the amount OF
money and property confined in the safe.

BROKE HIS ARM
Man Pulled . Pile of Lumber Over UpoI
Himself

Late Saturday evening a man by the
name of Massey, who had been par
taking Of the jolifcation and also some
thing else, became very much alarmed
for fear the police would get hold OF
him. He found a loose board upon the
west side of the Pond Lumber compa-
ny's building, on West Douglas ave
hue. This he pulled off and crawled
into the building. He worked his way
along the west side of the building be-
hind the lumber, and finally struck sew
eral tiers of by s tinbers which were
piled pretty high. He crawled down
between the piles, and in some unac-
countable manner pulled the largest
tier Of timber over upon himself He
was still able 10 yell. however, which
he did Justify. II is a wonder. for the
timbers are very heavy and they had
him pressed firmly down u the ground
Some of the men from the stable near
by went to his assistance. He told the
men now to get into the building and
they crawled in by the same route he
had taken. They lifted the timbers from
off the man, and found that an arm
had been broken. The patrol wagon
was called and he was soon removed
TO the City hospital. where his arm
was set and is doing nicely.
