WICHITA IS COSMOPOLITAN.

The most delightful characteristic of
Wichita is its entire lack Of stuck-up
people. There is no society in Wichita
and there never has been where a gen.
teel man or woman could not enter after
three months residence in the city.
Much of the love that thousands OF ah-
sent Wichitans feel for the city is on
account of this open-handed generous
hospitality With which Wichita men and
women have always received strangers.

HIS LAST STAKE.
Gold Bugs Lost Race May End His
Owners Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, April II. 1881
James Hunter, who has followed the turf
many years, is supposed to have staked
his life on Gold Bug, his favorite racer
Gold Bug, who started in race at the
Oakland track ON Thursday, made a gall
liant struggle, but there were faster
horses in the field. The defeat meant
much to Hunter, who is now missing
His friends are firmly convinced that he
has forfeited his life because his horse
lost the race.
Hunter began his turf career at the
Kehoe stock farm in Idaho, where he
bought the colt Gold Bug and trained
him for racer. Hunter made the cir
cult in Idaho and Montana and went as
far East as Chicago. Two years ago he
came to the coast with Jacob Krause
and started Gold Bug in this circuit
For nearly eight years Gold Bug made
handsome living for those two men.
OF late, however, the horse had become
stale from overwork and purses have been
few and far between. Hunter became a
heavy drinker and owing to lack of money
has been compelled to seek shelter in the
stable of his pet
On Thursday last, Henry Shields got
the mount on Cold bug, who was third
at the start. second at the quarter, sew
NTH at the finish. James Hunter anx-
iously watched the race, on which he
had staked everything. When the
race was over, he pulled his hat

OUR TUPPBNNY LEADER
Bailey the Cheap Crates on
Himself in the House of
Representatives.

WASHINGTON, April II, 1Ss7.-The
House met today for the second time this
week. The Presidents message urging
Congress to take action for representa-
ton of the United States in the forthcom-
ing international exposition at Paris,
which had ben sent to the Senate We'd
nesday, was read
Then Mr. Bailey, of Texas, rose to a
question of personal privilege and had
read an editorial in a Washington paper
headed From Maker to Wearer."
The article declared that ..the leader
ship of young Mr.. Bailey was 1the
leadership of old, old Mr.. Reed" said
that Mr.. Bailey was wearing Mr.. Reed s
collar and that the Democrats would have
done as well to elect Mr. Reed as their
leader as to choose middle man.
a Mr.. Bailey denounced the article as .ssn
infamous and malicious lie,' and added,
Il denounce every man who has helped
to circulate it as an Infamous and ma
licious liar"
Mr.. Bailey, continuing, said he thought
it necessary to state his position again.
He was, he said, convinced that the Dem
ocratic party did not expect nor desire its
representatives to resort to useless and
captlous opposition to Republican politics
in Congress-
In support of this he read an article
from the Atalanta Constitution and
quoted from an interview with Senator
Jones, the Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. 1t was well un-
derstood. he added, that the Democrats
could not force the Republicans to gem
eral legislation. Some of the Democrats
were SO oppose to the Republicans that
they would force them to make
bad laws for Democratic advan-
tage, but he held that no legislation
by the Republicans was best for the
country. He would vote for a motion by
Mr.. Dingley to adjourn because he looked
not to the maker of motion but to it's
substance, but if Mr. Simpson moved to
adjourn for longer time, he would vote
with Mr.. Simpson.
The Republicans of the House had at
tempted to carry out their contract to
restore. prosperity to the country by
giving it a protective tariff and maintain
ing the gold standard He believed that
the Democrats should give them every
chance to carry out their programme un-
less the Democrats were less confident
that the Republicans would fail than Re-
publicans were that they would succeed.
Il am partisan he said, "but l had
rather have Republican prosperity than
Democratic depression. Republican APP

ciated Press.]
HEADQUARTERS OF THE GREEK
ARMY IN THESSALY, I.ARISSA, April
II, 1S97.-I)etails of the fighting between
the Greeks and Turks at Nezeros, just
within the Greek frontier lines in Thes-
sally, and due south of Mount Olympus,
have been received here. The fighting
originated, according to the Greek re-
ports, in an attempt upon the part of
the Turkish forces to occupy an abandon
ed post of the Greeks. The movement
was opposed by the Greek forces, where
upon the Turks opened fire and a sharp
engagement, lasting four hours, ensued
The Greeks eventually receded Their
losses are not known. This enga cement
occurred yesterday.
At five o'clock this morning firing be-
tween the Turks and the Greeks near
Nezeros was resumed The Greeks, in
the meanwhile, had been reinforced with
artillery, which they brought into play
against she Turkish posts at Kotroni
The latter was eventually destroyed by
dynamite.
1t is reported as this despatch is sent
that the Greeks have occupied three
Turkish stations and that the Turks are
retreating.
The Crown Prince Constantine the
Greek ommander-in-Chief, and General
Macris were up all night despatching or
ders to the front.
AS this despatch is being sent over the
wire the correspondent Of the Associated
Press hears that the engagement has ex-
10 ha to Lee
of Nezeros But, according to the official
statements made to the correspondent,
the firing has ceased.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, yesterday, was enabled to ride up
to Malouna Pass and inspected the Cup
Valley, northeast of which is Elassona,
where the Turkish Headquarters is sit
uated. To all appearance the Valley is
almost denuded of troops The CORE
spondent saw only three squadrons of
|27avalry, three batteries of field artillery
nd few battalions OF infantry There
Jas no semblance of a big camp where
as three weeks ago, according to OBJ
servations on the frortier and the re-
ports of correspondents with the Turk
ish Army, there were some 35, 900 troops
in position at Elassona. The indications
are that either the Turkish troops have
been withdrawn behind the ridges sur
rounding Elassona, for concealment, or
they have been moved westward to some
other point on the frontier in imitation
of similar movements upon the part of
the Greek army.
While diplomacy is slow, there is great
military activity on both sides of the
frontier, which may have important bear
ings should war be declared.
No further news has been received from
Macedonia regarding the movements of
the Greek irregulars.
The weather is still bitterly cold in the
mountains.
