There was a brisk wind but it was as

Vegetation whithered, stock as well as
human beings suffered throughout the
day, and Saturday, Aug. s, VIII long
be remembered as one of the hottest. If
not the hottest, days ever seen or felt by
the citizens of Wichita
Many persons were overcome by the
heat but there was nothing like sun

concluded, but the real contest re-
manned. And indeed most of the work
of the convention ran along the line
of the feud between Breidenthal and
the friends Of Lewelling. Breidenthal
has openly announced his intention to
demand a reelection at the hands of
the convention. In published state
nent. Lewelling had declared that the
chairman chould be elected by the state
central committee. and not by the con-
vention itself. Thus the lines we-c
drawn. and when all other business
was finished. It was O'Clock in the
morning A large number OF the dei5-
gates were advised of this contest, and
remained in the hall. Senator Denn:-
son was in the chair when the resOiU-
ton was introduced providing for the
election Of the chairman In an instant
it was opposed by a counter proposition
that the committee should elect There
was great determination on all sides.
and the convention waited with brea tn
less expectancy. 1t was perilous sit
uation for the party. as both sides were
determined not to yield.
The chairman retired from the stand
and made an earnest appeal for har-
mony. Mr.. Costigan, whose editorials
to Mr.. Breidenthal. took the stand and
warned the convention that the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. PRESIDENTIAL would be bu,

cord
But It was not simply a contest a.
TO who should be chairman 1t is true
that the action Of the convention was
either 10 be a victory for this gentle
man, or it was to be his complete over
throw, but much more was at stake
besides this
The streaks Of dawn were appearing:
the dampness of the morning hour had
settled upon the convention; the chick
ems were Growing without: the women
on the platform were weeping; the
nerves Of every man was reused to the
highest tension and as Mr.. Costigan,
with death like pallor. and low meas

delegate, with half shrek and CUR
gle, fell to the floor in spasm. In
an instant all was confusion, but when
quiet was restored. Costigan, who had
led on one side, and McClain, who had
led on the other, stood side by side, and
peace reigned. The chairman announc-
ed that the friends of Mr.. BreidenthaI
had yielded.
But II was not Strlle between indi-
viduals. it was not a contest between
opposing forces in the interest OF can
didates, it was a battle for supremacy
between the elements of socialism and
conservatism. At that nomination, the
power of great political party had
been transferred. Its representatives
were of a different type and class. In
stead of the secret cabals which orig
mated with the early history of the
party, It had chosen for its representa-
tives men of height and breadth. Its
representatives were were now states
men, rather than factionists. They
were Leedy, lands and Dennison.

SHERIFF SKINNER ENUMERATED
County Commissioners Say the Charges are
Not sufficient

Sheriff John Skinner of Cowley coun-
ty was in the city yesterday taking a
patient to the asylum. Mr.. Skinner
was the gentleman who was charged
with County Attorney Fink of accept
ing fees from the county by false rep
resentation. The case cam cup be-
fore the county commissioners few
days ago and Mr.. Skinner says he was
completely exonerated. He says he Will
bring a damage suit against Colonel
Fink.
Mr.. Skinner also brought information
Of the election of Judge Buchanan as
chairman of the county Republican
committee of Cowley county and thinks
it was the best selection that could
have been made. Judge Buchanan -
very able man. has great ability for
organiZatio and has the confidence Of
the entire people regardless of politics.
He will make clean and effective cam
pdign.

Santa Fe Charges are Too High.
The first circular Of Receiver A l.
woifT OF the Kansas Midland mas ar
rived here and is as follows:
by virture of an order issued by the
Hon. Henry C. Caldwell. judge OF the
United States circuit court, Eighth
judicial circuit district of Kansas. and
dated July %. 1896. 1 hereby notified al
concerned that 1 have this day as
sumed charge and control of the Kansas
Midland railway, and all property OF
whatsoever kind or character belonging
Until further notice the ST. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad company will
continue 10 operate the Kansas Mid
land railway and have charge OF trans
Io,tation and traffic matters connected
with said railway"
Circular No. says: Mr.. ". p Hor-
nan is hereby appointed general mana
ger for the receiver. with headquarters
at Wichita. Kansas. He will have
charge OF all business pertaining TO the
receivership.
Mr.. Norman is an experienced and
popular railroad manager. having been
the former manager of the Little Rock
and Memphis road. All the railroad
men here speak very highly OF him as
a gentleman and as manager. As he
has not yet arrived his policy is not
known, but there is every reason 20 be-
iieve that Il viii be very friendly TO
Wichita. As stated in the circular the
road will still be operated in connection
with the Frisco. The latter road is con-
templating some changes also. 1t will
either build a depot of it's own or rent
terminal facilities of the Rock Island.
For years il has had terminal facilities
with the Santa Fe. The lease is up
some time this month and unless the
Santa Fe gives better terms the Frisco
trains will run into the Rock Island
depot. Very few people know II per-
hsps, but it is fact nevertheless that
the Santa Fe charges the Frisco a
monthly rental of 81. 600 for depot privi-
leSes. This figures up 10 $4,000 a year
ana the Frisco thinks IL is entirely too
much. The annual rental would go
a long ways towards building a fine
depot of its own and that will probably
be what viii happen before long. TO
matter what arrangements can be made
with other roads.

UNPRECEDENTED MAJORITY.

Republicans Carry Maine by q MajoFify
That May Exceed $4,000.
AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. 15--Maine has
followed the example of Vermont, and
declared for the repu blican ticket by
the largest majority in its history
According to the latest returns, the,
plurality for Powers, republican, for
governor, will be over As. 900. Hon. T.
b. Reed is reelected to the house by
over 10000 plurality. The returns
show q majority of about Il, 600 for Mr.
Dingley, for congressman from the
Second district; over 1000 for Mr.
Millixen in the Third district, and
practically the same for Mr.. Boutelle
in the Fourth district In the state
legislature the democrats will appar-
emily have less than half a dozen OF
the representatives in the house and
not one in the senate.
As anticipated, the repu blicans polled
a tremendous vote and secured many
democratic ballots. On the other
hand, many disaffected democrats re-
NAMED at home and only few voted
for the nominee of the golden standard
wing. The populist and the prohibi-
zionist votes have been received from
only a few towns, but it is evident
that neither party polled as large q
vote as two years ago.

A Widespread Conspiracy Thought to Have
Been Frustrated in London.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-It is generally be-
Geved here that the police. by the ar
rest of Edward Bell at Glasgow on Sat
urday; J. Wallace and John F. Kearney
at Rotterdam. and P. j. P. lyman Ono.
~ at Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France, have
nipped a widespread dynamite plot in
the bud. At Rotterdam, in addition to
arresting Wallace and Kearney, the
police captured a number of internal
machines and quantity of correspond
ence, which is said to incriminate a
number of people, and which may re-
suit in further arrests in the near fu-
ture
The Globe, which has close relations
with the government, in a long lead
ing editorial article yesterday after
noon intimates that the arrests were
made on information received from one
of the recently released Irish prison
ers- It is added that this man has also
furnished the authorities with valua BILE
evidence in relation to the Gamma
Gael, and it is further stated that the
government recently released several
prisoners so as not to furnish an exact
clew to the source of its information.
A later dispatch to the Associated
press says that from information in
possession of the police of the city
there is a strong suspicion that con-
spirators were planning an outbreak,
to occur while the car and czarina
visited the queen at Balmoral. 1t is
added that all the suspects are known
to have purchased materials for the
manufacture of bombs

ATHEIST VS.. CHRISTIAN.

Bitter War Among the Patrons of the
School at Canton, Kan.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 15-The little
town of Can ton, Mcpherson county, is
wrought up over a school row, in which
all the people are taking sides, and
violence is threatened. The newly
elected treasurer of the school board is
an atheist, and, to the surprise of all.
presented petition to the board, signed
by 20 patrons, requesting that the
teachers be ordered to discontinue the
reading of the Bible in the schools. A
counter petition was circulated, receiv-
ing more than 100 signatures This so
enraged the treasurer that he went to
the schoolhouse Friday night and tore
down every motto abiding to God or
Christ. and scattered the pieces over
the floor. Not only the people in the
town, but the farmers in the neighbor-
hood have taken a hand in the fight,
until neighbor is arrayed against
neighbor in a bitter warfare.

paddy sLAvIN. ever since S1avin
defeated Kilrain at Hoboken, in 1891,
and some hard punching was thought
to be certain. When Kilrain stripped
he looked to weigh not less than $50
pounds. and the flesh hung from him
in rolls Slavin, on the contrary, was
in the pink of condition. Jake led
with his left, but it was a
mere feather tap Then Slavin
sent out his left, landing lightly,
and then clinched and began to
play on the wind. Slavin hit hard, but
Kilrain was not effective. Three times
the pugilists repeated this performance,
and then Slavin caught Jake in the
ribs; they clinched; Slavin hit his man
a terrific short-arm blow under the
heart; threw his arm around Kilrain' S
neck, hooked with his right on the jaw
and the one-time champion fell like a
log. His head struck the floor. He
tried to rise as the referee began to
count; staggered to his feet as the ia
tai ten was spoken, but could not raise
his hands and was pronounced ''out."
