THEY ARE FEEDING THE MULTITUDE
Wichita Firm Gives an Exhibition of Kaffir
Corn Prepared for the Table.

For three days Kaffir corn has the
right of way at the Thomson grocery
store.
For the purpose Of showing the sever
al uses TO which the meal made from
the Kaffir could be applied, the firm
has installed for three days, beginning
with yesterday, two professional pas
try cooks TO whom they have given ac-
cess TO egg chests, sugar barrels, lard
cans, as we'll as spices, and have told
them to don their white caps and sail
in and feed the multitude. To aid them
in their efforts they have supplied the
cooks with two large gasoline stoves,
knowing an advertisement in the Eagle
would bring the crowd.
The cooks went TO work and in half a
day had lined the shelves with all kinds
Of cakes. muffles, brown bread, crackers
cookies, dodgers, pones, biscuits, dough-
nuts, muSh, and the doors were thrown
open and the crowd bid TO come in and
try what they had prepared, and then
go forth and tell what was their opin-
ion of the uses 10 which the new flour
could be put.
There were men Of learning who de-
cleared that the bread was equal TO any
while the women at once lost all their
prejudice 70 the new tangled -four and
declared that hereafter X should be
found upon their tables. School child
rem flOcked in by the hundreds and
wanted a few cakes 10 take home 10

Abolition.
Governor Morrill, may abolish the po-
lice commission boards OF the state,
including the Wichita board, within the
next forty-eight hours. That was the
prediction of some we'll posted pOliti-
clans last night and it bore the stamp
of probability OF course it is a hard
| matter TO predict with accuracy what
Governor Morrill, will do. as everybody
in Wichita knows, and ii may turn out
that the governor is treating his Wich-
tia friends to another snipe hunt. This
is pastime for which he is noted and
at which he excels.
The fact is the governor has been
considering the proposition Of abolish
ing metropolitan police boards ever
snice the mayors Of first class cities
passed resolution 10 that effect in
! Wichita at their last convention. but
! ii is understood that George /. Doug
lass and other politicians of his cali
bre in the cities Of the state are against
il, and they may influence him 10
change his mind and give up the idea.
/ or course the people Of Wichita viii
laugh at the idea of George Douglass
changing the mind of anybody, espec-
tally the governor of state, but they
should not laugh after knowing as
much about the governor as they do.
The time is getting ripe now for the
governor to do something and hence
the proba bility of the abolition of the
police commission board. When
President Cleveland got so unpopular
that the henchmen of his own party
would not treat him with respect he
sent his Venezuelan message TO con-
gress knowing that he should do some
popular act 10 restore him 10 favor.
Governor Morrill, has ever since admir-
ed Cleveland's skill as a politician as
exhibited in this manner and ii has
been the prediction of his friends that
he too, would seek TO restore himself
to favor by some popular official ac-
ton on his part. 1t is the suppoSition
that the time is now ripe in his estima-
ton for a master stroke of policy and
hence the hope and the expectation
that he will abolish the police boards.
This, at least, is the way the local pol
iticianS look at the matter.
That there is some move of this char
acter contemplated there is no doubt.
There was some strange agitation in
the police board yesterday morning
anu NIL l1ltu4 CuCC w dS eullC4tHlAy cA-
cited to warrant one in believing that
he was afraid of losing his job as sec
rotary Of the board. Besides that As
sistant Attorney General Campbell was
called TO Topeka for consultation Of
some character. 1t Is said that Camp
bell is inclined to favor the abolition
of the board, but whether from a patri-
otto or selfish motive ii is hard to say.
Some Of the people say that Bill feels
so good over being eXonorated in the
district court that he is inclined to be
little better respector of his neigh
bors and fellow citizens while others
say that he favors the abolition Of the
police board because such a proceed
ing would make him and Dawes ex-
elusive masters of the situation down
here. If Morrill, abolishes the COM
mission the control of the police de-
partment will then revert to the city
and Mayor Cox will have the appoint
ment of the police officers.
