KEENEY DEFEATS DOLAN.
A Onesided Match in the Inter-Cfty
Tournam ent.

AL Kenney, of Harrison, treated the
attendants at Murray's inter city tourn-
ament, in Newark, to a surprise last
night by defeating Mike Dolan. of this
city, a two to one favorite in the betting.
by a very one-sided score. It was prac-
tically the worst defeat of the tournament
and sent many of Dolan's admirers Jack
to this city with barely car fare in their
clothes. Several hundred dollars changed
hands, and so confident was Dolan that
- would win, he wagered a bet with
Kenney that the latter would fail to
pocke1 70 patis in the match, which was
readily accepted. Kenney gave a wonder
fully skillful exhibition and PLAYED Dolan
to a s~tandstill, beating him 3 to l.. He
made short work of the game and run
125 points while Dolan was making AZ. In
the other game McClaren defeated Curry

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

The Lyceum association have secured
a great victory in getting Ellen Beacf,
Yaw in their course. The Musical Cou-
rier has the following to say:
Ellen Beach Yaw, whose generous out
ing abroad during the summer has grea
ly widened public interest in her, is an
romced to return to America in Janu-
airy. When she departed In June, after
a very hard and brilliant tour of seven
months Of severe public work, 1t was
with no intention of returning for at
least year. But hardly had the echo
Of her wonderful voice lodged In South
ern mounts and wales, where she sang
last winter. than her return was eager
ly sought by keen-sensed managers.
For some time the prima donna avoid
ed a just appreciation of having her in
tended years stay abroad interrupted
in any way, but latterly she has been
induced TO understand its meaning
Moreover. Randegger, with whom she
has taken up the study OF O number OF
operas. has become greatly attached to
her. He has read her fate IN the tenn
permanent and unusual quality OF talent
she reveals to him He says her musical
entity is entirely aloof OF anything he
has ever before observed. To garner
ell that this kindly master has said and
written Of her is fair foundation for the
belief that Yaw is in truth 'tan abstract
wonder
She has been besought 70 sing in

London, but her refusal has been rigid.
The wisdom of this ATTITUDE is hardly
ettested by the English people, who
have thereby cast some unique inqui-
ries into their gossip Of the independent
OpheIIa from California. But the truth
is Miss Yaw went abroad to rest and
study after nightly appearances here
for term of seven arduous months, and
when she insisted upon a regime of rec
reationin England and on the Continent
the wisdom OF her pubic silence becomes
manifest
"A number OF American contract.
have already been made, she is scheduI-
ed TO return in January for a brief tour
OF eastern cities during the first three
months of the year. Cleveland, the
scene OF her triumph before 1000 people
last spring, recalls her, and Milwaukee
has booked her first appearance there,
while Minneapolis has engaged to give
her an ovation at the end of her tour"

JUDGE GRAVES TALKS
1t was Elegan. and was Preceded by a Fine
Demonstration.

Whoever says that there are no Re
publicanS in Wichita is, in the Ian.
guage Of Warner Miller, perverse by
nature. He should have seen the pa
rade of last night with ats 900 torches
and every one of them carried. by a
voter. 1t was by far the biggest pa
rade of the campaign in Wichita and
the Popocrats, who boasted a great deal
of their hast parade, looked blue and sad
and crest fallen.
The parade was we'll managed and
well supplied with Roman candles and
rockets which made q nice display.
The bright particular feature of the
parade however, was the fiambeau club.
1t was weld directed, its movements,
were well regulated and it presented a
fine appearance IN every respect The
parade was the preliminary TO the
speech OF Judge Graves of Emporia, at
the Auditorium
Judge Graves was introduced by J.
H. Mccall and when he arose to speak
he faced an audience of over 1000 peo-
pie including many ladies' Judge
Gravs gave two hours to the financial
question and discussed it ably, bring
ing out some new and unique ideas tina {
were very simple and forcible in their
nature. 1t was one of the best speeches
made this year and IL is a pity that IL
could not be given in full as a synop-
sis. unless extended, would not do his
able effort justice.

Mr.. J. NJ. Kirkpatrick of Bonner Fer
~. Mo-, who Is now visiting his son
Frank D. Kirkpatrick ct this place,
says he Is an oid-time Democrat, hav-
ing voted with that party for more
than forty years. but that when the
national Democratic convention went
on after strange gods and with a holy
horror OF gosden calves set up a great
silver COW as an object for Denocratfc
worship. being unable TO trace the ped
ig-ee or the 1e TO silver bovine through

He reviewed the history of theestablish-
ment Of the nations monetary SYSTEM.
and said that for himself he preferred
to observe the teachings of Jefferson,
the dictates of common sense. and to
profit by the experience of other ma
lions that had departed from the gold
standard. He reviewed the experience
of Mexico and other free coinage coun-
tries in which he had travelled, and
drew comparisons between their power
ty and the prosperity that had until re-
cent years been the part of the United
States.
Gen. Clapp told his hearers that he
did not come to solicit their votes, but
as one man might approach another
with advice and warning, so he felt
constrained to warn all workingmerl
against the false teachings of free coin
age advocates. ,'Since / came here te-
day" he said, II have been told that
coercion has been attempted to inf1u-
ence your votes. If you are honest men
you VIII resent all such attempts. Don't
De coerced against the dictates of your
consclence. Stand up for your rights,
ana the law will protect you. If YOU
believe you will be benefited and thp
country benefited by voting for free sill
yer, then Mr.. Bryan should be vour
candidate. But be warned that as
surely as free coinage becomes a Law,
Just SO surely will your earning capac-
ity be reduced, just so surely will the
hard times of today become ten times
worse; just so surely will you regret
that you were led away from the sound
money doctrines that have kept the
united states and the workingman of
ILLS natlon IN advance of the nations
ana Workmen under free coinage"
At the close Of the meeting the ofT1-
GERS OF the club asked that additional
speakers be sent to the shops at fire.
