the guests arrived they were conducted
up stairs by their hostess and d-aped in
sheets like pnsntoms. They were then
taken down stairs 10 partly d2rkened
room and requested not % talk aloud or
otherwise betray their identity. This was
a somewhat trying ordeal for the young
men, but was easily accomplished by the
young ladies' Much merriment was oc-
casioned by the ghosts endeavoring to
recognize each other. When all the
guess had been converted INFO phan-
toms the party went oat and called up
on a few Of their friends. After their re-
turn TIE evening vas delightfully."- spent
in playing games. The ghosts al declar-

s. L. Newell Thinks Well of Wichita's


T. L. Newell OF Kingston, Pa, is in tne
city, accompanied by his daughter and
sister, Mrs. Dr. Jones. Mr.. Newell is
frequent visitor here, having considera-
BILE properly. He is one OF the gentlemen
from the east who have faith in the fu-
ture Of fnis city. When approached with
an offer 10 buy, Mr.. Newell said ne had
nothing to sell at present prices. Wal
ues will go up, he said. 81 prefer to wall.
Mr.. Newell is connected with the an
thracite coal interests Of the Wyoming
fields of Pennsylvania, and has realty
interests IN several places. He says that
Wichita is "aIl right" Eastern capital
lists should be more patient, he says;
there are fewer vacant houses in this
city than in his own eastern home town,
one of the very centers Of important in
duStrieS.

! For mayor OF Greater New York, Cen
eral Tracy is the regular Republican
nominee; Seth Low, Citizens Union;
Henry George, Jr.. free silver reform or
Jeffersonian Democracy: Van Wyck is
the machine Democratic nominee or Tam
many's man.
The interest in the OAio campaign Is
the fight between Hanna Rep) and Nc
Lean {Defn.), who are both fighting to
secure the state legislature and thereup-
on the office Of United States senator.
Notwithstanding the fact that millions
| Of votes are to be counted in New York
the returns will be in and wired to the
world before the result complete Of the
Wichita vote is known. Hence the IL
o'clock signal will be for New York.
Within three minutes Of IL o'clock the
signal waIl be flashed as noted above.

| indicate the result the rockets will follow
each other at the space Of ten seconds
or sooner At 1870 O'Clock the result in
Ohio viii be SHOWN and what is known
OF the local election will follow a mid
night. The fight in New York is the
ipal campaign this country has ever seen
The success of Van Wyck and Tammany

Of trickeTy, jo5bery and blackmail in
wider and richer area and in a holiness

white. The population OF Greater New
York is 100000. The number of salaried
city officers will reach rs 900, or more
than the population of Wichita. Their
salary per year wall be upwards OF $685.
900. 1t is the richest prize the Tam
many tiger has ever had in sight. L; is
the immense spoils or stake in New
York. That is the issue with Tammany,
and Tammany makes the fight. The
most interesting Of the contests to be de-
cided, next TO that in Greater New
York, is the fight in Ohio. National
issues are at the front in that state. The
Popocrats are trying hard to carry the
state in order 70 rebuke President Nc
kinley by showing him that mis- own
commonwealth has gone back on him.
They are also striving desperately to de-
feat the election of Senator Hanna by
the next legislature and TO punish him
for his splendid leadership last year.
A Democratic victory in Ohio this year
will be heralded far and wide as a con-
demnation Of the present national ad-
ministration by the people who are sup
posed 10 be its closest friends The de-
feat OF Senator Hanna would afford the
keenest delight TO those who received
such hard drubbing a his hands last
year. The reelection Of Governor Bush
nell is practically conceded. The opposi-
ton is paying little attention to him,
but is concentrating its powers on the
struggle for control of the legislature and
the retiring Of Hanna. Mclean is the
Democratic candidate for senator. Bry-
am has been hired TO help in the fight.

Is A GOOO INVESTMENT
DIR. Mathews Shows How the Park Will
Pay

Pay
Wichita, Nov. 1.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
I want TO add one final word in regard
to the park proposition. The city council
has passed an ordinance, to be approved
or rejected by the people at tomorrow's
election, appropTiating money to buy
a bout 100 acres of the timber land along
the Little river, in town, for the purpose
OF making a public park. This ought ID
DE approved by the people and we could
then soon have one Of the finest parks in
the country.
Such a place is needed by every COM
munity. and think no one will question
this statement. The only objection l can
think any one could urge would be be-
cause il runs us in debt. | will try 10
show that this is justfiab bic and not only
justifiable but probably good financial
specula ton. The price at which the land
can now be bought will not exceed 800
per acre, and does any one believe that
fine land right in the corporation Of the
largest city in this section, the metropo-
lis Of southern Kansas, with 10000 people,
will long remain at that price? That's
half the price Of 25-foot lots further out
a short time ago.
Having bought the land, there are lots
of ways of improving it with little or no
cost. Let the mayor appoint two days
each year as Park Days, one in the
spring and one in the fall Make them
local holidays and invite the people to-
come and give one day to the improve
ment of the park. Bring their garden
and field tools, teams, plows, scraDers,
etc, and spare trees, shrubs and flowers,
and in one day the whole landscape will
change. In place of a green briar put a
climbing rose; where there is a wild
grape put a trumpet flower. In short,
for the native plain vegetation plant the
finest ornamental things we have. Roses
are as handy as buckb brush and a good
deal more ornamental. IN addition to
this. send all proper applicants for pub
lie charity over to the park to work and
pay them for their work and let they buy
their own victuals. They will then be
men and not beggars, and men are the
best citizens. And then the community
gains by their industry and spends no
more than to donate to them, for we can
not let people starve or freeze
Plant shellbark hickory nuts, both the
large and small varieties; walnu;s. hazel
nuts, butternuts, chestnuts. They all
grow both north and south Of US and no
doubt vii thrive here. Most families
have a surplus Of ornamental shrubs
and flowers, and the whole woods would
soon be beautiful Build a dam, give US
a lake. with boating, swimming, skating,
fish and aquatic flowers.
The rental Of privileges will bring a
large income. The money that would
come from outside excursionfsts would
soon return the whole cost 10 the city.

rooms 10 get them. He found the door

distributed them where they were need

Fabulous Wealth Securely Hidden In the
Peruvian Mountains
Adventures who seek mere gold.
without reference to art, should turn

where In the mountains between Cax-
omarca and Cuzco. We may confident
ly assume that IL has not been discov-
cred. for II put into circulation at home
the money market would have been con

for the evidence of deposit, there is
Pizarro's official report that his com
radcs would not wait until the celebrn-
ted room was full. They were too inn

they knew that the bullion levied upon
the temple at Cuzco was on its wny,
transported by 100000 llamas. each car

figure Is not incredible, seeing how
much remained when the conquista-
dores sacked Cuzco. News Of the muir
der reached that precious caravan in
tne mounlaluhs IOFtnNltn tne priests
buried their gold and returned. Every
one concerned with the expedition who
could be identified was tortured 20
death, but none would speak. Such Is
the contemporary account. But we OBJ
serve that Sir Clements Markham, pres
ident Of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, obtained some information dur
ing his memorable expedition 10 Peru.
He states. as " II were well known In
the neighborhood. that the caravan left
the highway at spot now called Azan-

the Indian "Asuan coran," meaning
"more distant" "Away from the roadi"
cried the priests. Further awayl"
One always feels the strongest reluc-

not impossible nor improbable that IN

few days since under peculiar circum-

compromise Ben Crowell, John Ray,
John Wilson and Mike Harrison
would plead guilty and throw them
selves upon the mercy OF the court.
The arrangement was satisfactory TO

he never done a thing TO the prisoners
but give them five, two, seven and

.AnEN TOLnERT IS In possessIor

baden TOLDERT is In possession
Is OF the horse ridden by Dick
Adams on the night OF the famous
raid on Adams and his gang OF COW
thieves near Tom Bufflngton's place,
a couple Of months ago, In which one
OF the outlaws was killed aud Adams
himself wounded. The animal Is q
black, OF medium size, and a splendid
saddler In the nose he carries an
ugly scar, the result OF a shot received
when-the thieves were nred upon In
the Burlington lane, as they were
driving a bunch OF Il. Il. Fraxier's cat
tie In the night. The poor beast must
have suffered an awful experience, as
he was found teL days afteFward tied
10 a black haw tree In the Grand river
hills, almost fam,shed for food and
drink, and had eaten the branches all
on the little tree, and had gnawed tho
bark from the trunk, in his hunger.
IL Is said Adams was shot In the wrist
and arm by the same charge that
wounded his horse. Az the first Ore
from the officers the horse was seen 10
