APPOINTMENT OF MIR. Lands
Wordenshfp of the Peni .entiary Goes to a
Barber County Man

Governor Leedy yesterday appointed
Harry S. Lands of Medicine Lodge war
den of the Kansas penitentiary.
judging from the announcement of
this appointment Warden Lynch's expec-
tation that he will have to relinquish
the position very early in the game will
be fully realized.
The appointment of Mr.. Lands is not
surprise 1t has been generally con.
ceded that he would get the place which
pays $500 a year.
Mr.. Lands has served his district as a
member of the state senate and is one Of
Governor Leedy's closest personal and
political friends. He nominated Mr.. Lee
dy at the Abilene convention
Mr. Lands is a well educated man and
has had considerable experience in the
line of work which will come under his
supervision at the penitentiary. For
several years in Pennsylvania he had
charge of large force of men engaged
N mining. His appointment, il is be-
lleVed, will give general satisfaction to
the Populist.
Mr.. Lands expected the place and was
quite sure of it few nights ago, when
ne talked with a reporter while enroute
10 Topeka in response to an invitation TO
meet Governor Leedy there
Mr.. Lands needed the place very bad
ly as he is heavily in debt and owes
considerable money to his friends. Ii
must be said, however. that there was
nothing dishonorabie in his obligations
to his friends. He and his father were.
at one time, very well fixed. but luck
turned against them and in trying 10 mas
ter their i'll fortune Harry had to call on
his friends. 1t is said that Judge Nc
Kay is one of his heavy creditors.
Mr.. lands has had bad luck for sew
eral years back, and this appointment
VIII be splendid thing for him.

MCSIC AND DRAMA
CAPT. JACK THE POET.

The ininitable Captain Jack Crawford
very pleasantly entertained a fair-sizad
Wichita audience for two hours at the
Auditorium last night.
County Attorney John d. Davis intro
duced him as boyhocd friend, whom Re
would De proud to introduce to any au-
dience, and spoke OF their early ac-
quaintance as boys in western Pennsyl-
vania. He paid very warm tribute TO
the indomitable energy that has made
Captain Crawford what he is notwith-
rtanding his early disadvantages.
Captain Crawford prefaced his re-
marks by emphasizing the fact that he
wished his auditors 10 consider his enter
tainment rather as a collection of per-
sonal "reminiscences than as a lecture
The form of his entertainment, as per-
haps it may best be called, certainly has
the advantage of being absolutely IN
ique and he keeps his audience in rapt
attention from the time he steps upon the
stage until he closes with a very dra-
matte recital of the famous encounter
between wild Bill'' Cody and two SOL
diers while at card game in western
Kansas. He frequently intersperces his
remarks with recital of many of his
best poems, which draw his hearers 10
laughter and to tears by their spontane-
Gus humor and touching pathos. Among
them are his Sunshine" Veteran ard
Child" DOT Little Cripple Boy Vot
Died." and others. There was hardly a
person in last nights audience who was
not convulsed with laughter while he
told the story OF PONY Bills Sermon"
and there Were tears in many eyes dur
ing recitation of many of his pathetic
poems.
Captain Crawford, while IN the city, Is
the guest of Charles W. Biting at his
North Lawrence avenue home. 1t would
have been hard to find one of last nights
audience who will not from this time be
p staunch admirer of Captain Crawford
and it is safe to say that a large crowd
will greet him at any future appearance
he might make in Wichita.
