ALMOST OUT OF THE WOODS
c. w. Billings Says the Funds to Finish the
Auditorium are Nearly Raised.


Auditoriun are Nearly Raised.
Everybody in Wichita will be rejoic-
ed to learn that the management of the
Auditorium have almost secured suffic-
lent funds to complete the structure in
such style as is not equalled by any
other city in the state. it seemed like
an impossible undertaking when the
proposition was submitted for 81 dona-
tons, but not a person in the city but
what knew that if the necessary 1000
was not raised that their donation would
be returned. The move was started
and day after day Mr.. Biting became
the recipient of the 81 mite and the
bright dollars Of the dads grew with
each setting lsun.

mark of many, but 1 am willing 10
give the move a little help Thus the
sum grew daily, and last evening when
a reporter for the Eagle met Mr.. Biting

porter knew he had something good 10
tell. and he was not mistaken.

The fact is the doctor was inclined to
favor the motion as he did last year but
the article was such mad and frantic

that he preferred to vote against the
motion than TO encourage sucn maIic-

 Concerning the Arizona delegation Clarkson says: "There is pretense of a contest in Arizona, but majority of the legally called convention elected three Allison and three Quay dele gates Twenty four hours after lit had adjourned sine die the Mckinley con vention was without author lty-and six so-eaFled Mckinley dele gates elected
 And now the cat is out of the bag. The Mckinley Republicans of Arizona know that if the C.lar rkson- -Sooddard- Christy delegation is seated they have been sold out for a mess of pot6age- for the pOlildilcaal patronage of the ter ritory
 Luckily Clarkson is honest enough to tell the truth. There is not a Me Kinley man in the delegation, just as The Republican has suspected from the start; amid now lthat Clarkson. who engineered the bolt in Arizona, has torn the mask from the face of the bolters, Republicans can see them in their true Tight. Should they be seated nine4tenths of the Republicans 1 of the territory would be disfran- ch:sed.
 But they will not be seated and Nc Kin,ey W.ll be the nominee mo matter how Arizona goes. However, it is well to make history as we proceed. Clark son says they are against Mckinley | three for Allison and three for Quay and Charkson knows The record is worth preserving.

RETIRE THE BOSSES.

It would Gndeed be an inspiriting sight if tthe delegates to the party con- Nantions would go ito St. Louis and Chi +cago with a firm determination ito first smash the slaites of the bosses and then nominate men whof views con- cerping public questions are in accord with their own.
 The absu,dity of great political or ganizations permitting thar candi- dates to be diobaIted by limited num- Der of self-elected leaders of the Platt, Quay, Tammmny and iHtll variety, ought to be apparent at a glance.
 The people are told that the great Ansnoial interests of the country de auarid the selection of tlhd.r candidates as, party standard bearers, butt nobody saGrns to think or care how these men stand with reference to problems in ARalpse right solution the people, who Gear all the burdens, have a living in baast.
 So far ss the question of the currency dsrelated ito the presidential campaign u!Vw on is concerned it may be said sfiajt the leaders Of both parties stand eu the same platform and are fighting the same bai3Ie Party fearty "cuts no tca" with them. They all take orders, and obey taam. too, from the kings of finance A Republican who believes tu gold monenlezalEism would receive the support of Democratic bosses who entertain the same views in preference to one of their own panty nominees, no matter how clean 0nis record, provided Gle was not in accord with them on the currency question, and vice versa.
 If the people would only realize this and act with the understanding thai Kadey are fighting but one power, even though it masquerades under two or a dozen names, and govern themselves accordingly, many grievous wrongs would be Tfghted.
 The delegates chosen by them would not go to Chicago or to St. Louis fo1 &he sole purpose of ratfyins nomina- sfons previously made for them by 'ttlle bosses" of both parties. They MQuld meet, deliberate, and then select candidates whose character and att tainmenIts would be a sufficient guar antee that no favors would be showI amy particular Interest to the exclusion of any other.

An Apology Rather Worse Than the
 OffenSe.

Tucson Star: A Graham county att torney narrowly escaped disbarmeuk CaEst Saturday alt Solomonvi.le. Alt torney McGoWlam of Stafford was mak- ing a plea in a case. In the course of his plea he aaid q hope your honor will weigh this case honesuly and fairiy and find for my client. I thrust that on the other haind that you will not de eide the issue in such "a manner as ito call down upon Ehe court the clamor and indignation of the community"
 The case was finished and the court said it would be taken under advise ment. "But," continued Judge Rouse, 'ithere lis tanother matter which will be settled here and now" He recalled the unpriviteged and contemptuous manner of Attorney McGowans ad- dress, after which he fined him $25 with an alternative of twenty-five days fn jail. This was mot all. The alJtor- ney was directed at sbalted time ito show cause why he should not be dis barred and pending proceeding sus- pended him from flr4ther practice in his court.
 Judge Barnes and District Attorney Lowell wihlo were present, arose and pied in behalf of the young lawyer and so paved the way for an apology by him. He proceeded to mlake one, butt in doing so accused the court of having be,ittled him and held him up to ridi- cule anId of having shown bitterness towah'd him. The court reprimanded him severely, and having remihted the fine he told lhim that a repetition of his conduct would meet with summary treatment.

Extensive Cattle hipmenhs-Prepar-

GLENDALE, Ariz., May 6.---(Regu- lar Correspondence of The Republi- can. )-This week Glendale presents the appearance of an extensive cattle camp during a rodeo. Several large droves, principally from the Alkire ranch on New River, are being herded on the old grain, fields outside of town, in readiness for shipment to points in Kansas. Jerry Sullivan, the buyer and shipper of the cattle, and the AL kire brothers, are all here superin- tending affairs. Yesterday two train- loads were shipped Ito Nicholson and Eldorado, Kansas, and Friday one or two more trainLoads will go out.
 The activity in cattle shipments has created something of a car famine here. Five or six cars of hay would be loaded at once if "empties" were ob- taIinable. Two cars oi hay and one of rolled barley will go out, tomorrow morning. The demand for hay in the northerin markets remains steady with no immediate prospect of its decreas- ing.
 w. K. James shipped "a car of rolled barley from here Monday.
 The livestock association he'd its monthly meeting Monday. Professor w. Stowe Devol and Dr. Richmond, the terr.torial veterinarian, were pres ent and ways and means were dis cussed for combating the disease that is playing such havoc among the hogs here.
