We regret very much the uncall-
ed for contest for judgeship in the
third circuit, and sincerely hope that
as the convention thought it right,
the contestants may thus take the
decision. Both Judge Hoke and
Brother Fortney are too good men
TO get into squabble, that will lead
on to destruction of their friends.
Get your friends together. From
what we see in the papers the con-
vention acted properly, and Judge
Hoke is the nominee.

the admiration of all men everywhere. Every walk
OF life requires braverf of some sort to make it
success. There is ether calling or business per-
haps that requires the amount of pluck, ener.

of Great Value.

The American Breeder reports that
Ashland Wilkes, a Wichita trotting
stallion has recently been sold for
$4,000 to Mr.. James F. Scott, Graham,
y. c.
Mr.. Scott was one of the owners of
John r. Gentry, sold in February for
1920. at KellOgg's sale in New York
city. This makes eight Sedgwick
county horses that have been sold at
high prices during the present year.
Three or four of these have been
bought by European investors, and
sent abroad, and several of them have
changed hands at an advance from %
to 100 per cent on the prices paid for
them at the sales. Mr.. Stokes has been
offered s1S,50O for Patchen Wilkes.
The breedrs of Sedgwick county
should not let so many finely bred
horses go out of the state. They ought
TO be kept here as future stock horses
There are now but few left in the
county.
Breeders should remember that Ala

DEATH OF Harry TULLEK
Few Remarks on the Death of a Well
Known and Honorable Young Man.

Harry a fuller, who departed this
life Thursday night last, was born in
Columbus. Ohio, April Z. 1872. He came
TO Wichita about nine years ago with
his parents when they moved TO this
city. During the years Of his boyhood
and young manhood, he enjoyed almost
perfect health and was active and earn
est in all he did, after leaving High
school. he was until his death associa-
ted with his father in business and by
his kind and courteous manner made
for himself many strong friendships.
He was on the Sth day OF November,
1894, united in marriage with Miss Cora
Coleman, a most estimable young wo-
man, who has proved to him a constant
kind and loving companion, and who
with his infant son Ray, survive him
TO mourn his loss.
Only a few weeks since he purchased
for himself and family and fitted UP a
beautiful home at $40 Hewitt avenue
on the West Side in this city, where less
than a week ago this little family full
of happiness, enjoyed the prospect Of a
long life of sweet association and con-
tentment, as they were just stepping
upon the threshold of promise.
For a number or years ne was men,
Der of the First NJ. E. Sabbath school,
where he was one Of the most active
and jealous OF workers. About four
years ago he united with the st. Paul
church of this city Of which he was
member at the time of his death, and
here as everywhere else he endeared
himself to all with whom he came in con
tact by his arrest active Christian zeal
and urbane manner. He was prac-
teal Christian.
During his illness he talked freely
with his friends about approaching
death and the home OF the soul He
manifested perfect resignation and
said he was going Home.
Harry TulIer's death was sad, but
his life was bright and full of good
deeds, and is a splendid heritage TO his
family and friends, and the crown is
his reward

FORCED TO LABOR
THIS Is THE SITUATION WHICH
Exists AT THE WELL

There is Danger That If the Well should
FIJI With Water That the Uncssed Por-
ton Would Cave In and All Would be
Lost-There Is Too Much at Stake and
Scripture is Found Which Overcomes
All conscientious scrupies-WeIl VIII
be Visited Today, But Admission to the
Drill House VIII Have to be Denied.
Work will be kept up all day today a;
the prospect we'll.
This is an unusual occurrence. but
City Engineer Jackson discovered pas
sage Of scripture which authorized this
kind OF business on certain occa sions,
and drew the account given by the Sa-
vior OF mules father in a pit, and
the consciencous scrpules Of the men
were overcome and as a consequence
the walking beam will make regular
trips up and down and the crane-like
sand bucket will bring 10 the surface the
curious findings below.
This is an interesting period in the
history OF the well and cannot afford 10
stop. To stop would be dangerous and
might result in all being lost. The drill
had reached a depth of 1.460 feet last
night and at that time was pounding
thunder out OF a large sandstone. There
IS some oil, coal and little gas found
and by keeping UP the work today the
water viii be kept down and thus the
danger Of caving will be avoided. AS
is well known there are now about 500
feet that has not been cased, and IL
work was stopped until Monday morn
ing the well would fill with about 1.4O0
feet of strong salt water, and the nature
of the stratas passed through would
not stand the contact with salt water.
Everything is promising at the well,
and the boys Will have 10 be excused for
not being present at the several church
services. II is a case of necessity and
they should not be condemned.
Hundreds of citizens will visit the well
today. but they cannot be admitted. as
they would be liable TO get their clothes
dirty and the boys are very bashful on
Sunday unless dreSSed-up.

Notwithstanding Abuse DE-. Minick VIII be
IriumphantIy Elected

The alias crowd have made some Bit
ter attacks on DR.. Minick the Republic
can candidate for council in the Fourth
ward. 1t appears to be the tactics of
this crowd to make the hardest fight
on the men who have served the peo-
pie well.
DR.. Minick is known by almost every
one in the Fourth ward. They have
known him for years and the man is yet
to be born who can say one thing
against the genial doctor and substanti-
ate It. His knowledge of the duties
of municipal management are exceeded
by that of no man in the city of Wichita
He was mayor twice of the city Of Car
mi, Illinois, and both times was placed
there by the people unanimously, never
being candidate. He was also presi-
dent of the city council there two years
and president Of the school board. Dur
ing his residence in this city he has been
elected to the council where he has
served the people well. He has
sharp eye for economy and has never
missed an opportunity to knock out ex-
penses. While on the Fire and Water
committee last year he saved the peo-
pie fifteen hundred dollars in one con-
tract; and this year he saved the peo-
pie s., 900.
DR.. Minick was soldier in the Union
army. He was a soldier for four years
Five months of this he spent in Con-
federate prison. That is the kind of
a Republican he is and Of course ne is
for Mckinley and prosperity. He is
the kind of Republican who wants the
factories open, and the men with the
empty tin buckets given something to
do. He is for full national funds, full
factories full Opr-buckefS and is
full Of the genuine old Republican prin-
ciples which have done so much for this
country. He is universally admired
and the people of the Fourth ward will,
as they should, give him handsome
majority next TUESDAY,

PRESENTED With A CANE
Judge Dale Gets a stick With a single Gold
standard Head.

Yesterday Mr.. George NJ. Dixon with
a beautiful gold headed cane in his
hand stepped up 10 Judge Dale in the
district court and said:
Judge Dale-Your jury of the Janu-
airy term Of 1896 after a long and ardu-
Gus term Of court, are now about 10 dis
perse, and may perhaps, never all be
assembled together again until we meet
al the bar of that great tribunal where
there are no findings OF demurrs, eN-
ceptions TO rulings or appealing 10 a
higher court. We thought before our
final separat alton We would ask you TO
Join us for few minutes, that we may
express TO you in q manner our great
appreciation Of your uniform kindness
and forbearance with US during the
DAYS and weeks We have been so closely
connected together, and il is our hope
and wish that while you occupy the Ju-
dicial bench. that you may always find
as enthusiastic co-laborers in your fu-
ture jurors as you have IN this. IN
considerati ton, my dear sir; allow me, on
behalf OF your juror friends 70 present
you this slight token Of our respect and
esteem, and hope a. times in the future
i may remind you Of your first jury
In response Judge Dale made a few
very pleasing and appropriate remarks.
after which Mr.. James Boylan. the poet
Of the Jury. recited the following origin
al verse.
Were James Boylan Homer, Moore
or a Byron
Judge Dale's pedigree he would pen
down;
or Robert Burns who enjoyed his term
That later noble OF high renown.
I roYed through this nation and held
converse ton
With men whose rulings are high up
in law.
But TO my candid lay give up the sway
To you. Judge Dale, OF Wichita
The cane IS appropriately engraved
and Judge Dale is very proud OF j.
