an enthusiastic affair. The meeting
was presided over by Thornton Sar-
gent and John knoblauch acted as sec
rotary. Many strong speeches were
made with what the speakers were
pleased TO allege were irregularities at
the primaries held Monday A strong
series of resolutions were passed, which
were anything but flattering to the
primaries and a program marked out
the convention to be held today, at
which time il was said that contests
Will be filed against the election of sew
eral delegates. The meeting was well
attended.

HE VISITS WICHITA
NEW RECEIVER OF THE MIDLAND
Is IN THE CITY.
{ il Generally Believed That the Visit OF
MI. WeIn Will Lead to the Frisco TAX

the Division

Yesterday Mr. Wolf OF st. Louis, the
newly appointed receiver OF the Midland
railroad was in the city, together with
his attorney, and called TO pay his re-
spects 10 the Eagle office.
Mr.. Wolff could not say what dispo-
sition would be made OF the Midland
rodd until after he had fully looked
over the property and made his report
to the court, further than that the road
was now leased by the Frisco road, at
least a portion Of the line. and without
doubt arrangements would be made
whereby the Frisco line would gain con-
troll of the entire line.
While Mr. Wolff, true to the general
habits OF railroad men, was rather re-
ticent about giving out Information in
advance, ii was generally conceded by
all railroad men that the result OF Ny.
WoIff's visit over the line would be that
the Frisco would take charge OF the
line from Wichita to Ellsworth at an
early date and would make their west
ern terminus at that point in connection
with the Union Pacific, and that Wicn-
ita would be made division ELS
worth is 10i miles northwest of Wichita
and by this arrangement another great
trunk line VIII be added 70 Wichita
The visit OF Mr.. Wolff 10 the city and
the thorough manner in which he look
ed over the city and inquired as to the
business done here, and the connection
of the Midland to the city, caused those
who met him 20 believe that the deal
would be perfected in a few days where
by this western connection would be
made
