TWO CoLoRED MEN FIGHT
Both of Them Appear Before Judge Enoc
Wanting Warrants


Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock,
c. K. Stewart and ". H. a. Clark, two
colored men, came to blows in front Of
Shaw's barber shop on East Douglas
avenue. The scrap did not last long.
but when il was finished both OF the
men looked as II they had taken a bath
in a river of crimson. Stewart is the
porter in the Daroer shop and was
cleaning up on the outside when Clark
came by. They got into a converse ton,
when Clark hit Stewart over the right
ear d terrific blow, knocking MIN down.
Stewart was on his feet in a second and
delivered some short arm blows that
only stopped on Clark's face. Both OF
them mixed things up pretty lively for
a few minutes, when they were separ-
ated. Stewart went into the shop, where
he was washed up. While IN there
Clark came to the door with an open
knife in his hand. and was going to go
in and do a good JOB on Stewart. Grant
Knepple, one Of the BARRIERS, was shaw
ing a customer, and had a razor in his
hand. He told Clark that if ne attempt
ed 10 enter the shop he would cut him
into mince meat. Clark saw the razor
and thought that Mr.. Knepple meant
what he said, SO ne did not go in.
Stewart, after the fracus, went to the
Carey hotel, where his son works, and
they went out TO find Clark. Stewart
said that ne would kill him on sight.
Fortunately, Mr.. Clark was not to be
found In the afternoon Clark appeared
before justice Enoch and swore out
warrant for Stewart. Before Constable
Voss could find Stewart he went up to
the Justices office and wanted TO swear
out warrant for Clark. The trial is
set for the 25th. 1t is said that the
trouble occurred over Stewards -fe,

Perhaps the most important single Of
fee TO be filed at the election next Tues
day week is the office OF county commits
sioner. This is true for the reason that
the office OF commissioner is a determin-
alive office and has largely to do with
the financial and administrative policy
Of all the other Offices AT any rate, a
county commissioner should be consider
ate, honest, sturdy, fair and man OF
eminent judgment and good business
sense
George Harris came TO Wichita in the
early history Of the city and began bust
ness here. His public spirit, enterprise.
honesty and good judgment commended
him to the favor Of the voters OF the city
and he was made mayor, which office he
filed with credit TO himself and profit to
the business and private interests OF the
city. He was for years member Of the
city council, and as councilman he was
especially satisfactory TO his constituents
who recognized his worth 10y keeping
him in office for number Of years. Dur
ing all his public service as mayor OF the
CRY, as councilman, as a member of the
board Of educa lion, George Harris was
never accused for a moment of unfaith-
fulnesS or negligence. And no friend nor
enemy vas ever heard to question for
minute his integrity and eminent loyalty
TO the best interests Of the city as taught
him by good business judgment and The
prayers OF his clients. Not the slightest
suspicion ever attached 10 his actions
either as councilman, or mayor or school
board member.
In matters Of public Improvement ne
has been identified with the building Of
the town. As an officer ne was always
ready to listen to the claims ohhis consti;
uents. He kept an open ear to the de-
mands Of the people.
Your ballot for county commissioner
will represent a principle and a policy
above tne mere individuality of the man
who shall hold the place. Now as last
fall, the Republican party stands pledged
20 economy, fair and impartial admin
istration Of public interests. Every prom
ise made by the Republican party in last
years campaign has been kept. Not one
state. The Demo-Fusion aggregation is
no more individually than collectively.
In this county it stands acknowledged 10
the bossism OF Jocelyn and Spencer.
These men are working 10 get control of
the entire political machinery of the coun
ty this year in order that taey may run
1t the better next year. They must get
the control, must indorse Leedy, must
send delegates next year 10 renomnaie
him and indorse the legislative fizzle of
last winter. Their jobs are at stake and
their regulations politically are at stake.
They do not hesitate to shut out the
most worthy Populist in the county for a
Democrat, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Populist party casts twice the votes.
A vote for George Harris and for Denny
and Lloyd and Weaver and Thatcher and
all the other Republican nominees will
insure you what the party promises, and
not the most blinded can fail to see the
satisfaction of all America at the present
results Of Republican SUPREMACY

VALUE OF HOME INDUSTRIES

Almost every day may be seen on our
streets peddlers, traders, agents Of all

all such people our citizens ought to turn
a deaf ear. The women of our homes
ought to forbid them to enter their
houses: business men, mechanics or what
not ought to refuse TO give them an or
der Of any kind. They are frauds. You
have no guarantee from them that is
worth anything. They never come the
second time. They carry shoddy goods.
After selling by sample and then sending
the article made up from another piece,
