cipient Of handsome relic Of the times
yesterday, IN the shape OF an elegant
watch charm, made from fragment Of
the Inflated Maine
The souvenir is a present from his
brother John Lebherz. of the Geiser Man
ufacturfng company, Waynes borough. Pa.
At this time 1t is a souvenir indeed be-
cause OF the fact that the wreck OF the
Maine still lays at the bottom of Havana
harbor, q spot at this time untenable to
any American BIanco may have remov-
ed some few Of the guns to assist in the
Notifications about Havana, but Spanish
vigilance forbade the removal OF but little
of the wreck. However. one OF the ship
surgeons obtained permission to cut off
a small piece Of gun-carriage. which he
sent to President Mckinley. The presi-
dent sent II to the navy yard with in
structionS to convert it into souvenirs.
Chief of the tool department at the navy
yard secured "a piece of the metal, which
he sent to Mr.. John Lebherz, who made
1t into a half dozen watch charms, send
ing his brother here one.
1t IS in the shape of a maltese cross,
and the workmanship is fine. Mr..
Lebherz has the distinction Of having
been selected to construct some very fine
pieces of mechanism which were sent 10
go into some of the vessels of Simpsons
squadron while lying off Santiago. Mr..
Lebherz is very proud of 1t and values It
highly, as It no doubt is the only piece
of the lamented vessel which has ever
left the hands Of the government

DIAMOND DICK"
The Wonderful Boy Doctor, Well
Known Throughout the United
states, Visits Wichita.

Wichita was visited the past week by
Dr. Geo. B. Mcclellan, we'll known
throughout the United States as Diamond
Dick" and a prominent character IN
! Kansas, who in 80 will be remembered by
the oidtimers of Wichita, with his long,
flowing locks, leading parades in Wichita
and as being particularly distinguished
for his literally and miraculous cures.
Diamond Dick" attended college in
Boston and during his leisure hours visit
ed all the principal cities in the east,
whore he became known as the wonderful
Boy Doctor" Leaving the east, he came
west in 1881 and located at Lacrosse,
Wis, for one year; was al Des Moines
two years, at Omaha one year, and later
established IN infirmary al Leavenworth,
Kan, where he remained for five years.
He has since been in the Indian country
with the exception of the time he was
engaged at the Worlds Fair. where he
had charge of the Indian village and led
the Chicago parade. He also had charge
Of the Indians at the Midwinter Fair in
San Francisco and again at the exposition
at Atlanta, Ga He was the owner of the
Railway Medical Labora tory, and his spe-
cial car visited most of the principal cities
in the western states
When the war with Spain was declared
he organized band of Indians to go to
Cuba, and recently disbanded, owing to
the ruling not allowing them TO go as
United States soldiers.
Diamond Dick" probably has the
greatest influence among the Indians of
any white man living. He recently visited
the camps of the Apaches Comanches
and kiowas, accompanied by an artist.
who took pictures of the camps. which
Dick says he believes to be the last
Indian village Of huts on the plains in the
United States. since their country is now
soon to be settled by the paIeface. He
was on his way to Omaha. where he ex-
poets TO soon take a band of Indians

POP CONVENTION AUGUST %,
Democrats Are to Have the Same
Nominees

One by one the weary but steadfast
Pops dragged themselves. into the office
of Mr.. Frank INighswpnger yesterday af-
ternoon for the purpose of deciding on the
date of their county convention The
number was small, woefully small, and
as for enthusiasm, there was none. How
ever, most Of them put on bold front
and lamented that the party was shot to
ruin. They were also sore and weary of
spirit over the promises that had been
broken. Sick, too, from the fact that the
Republicans had nominated a state ticket
that will put them to rest by 10000.
Those who were there had not forgotten
the Populits' prerogative-talk Talk
flowed in copious quantities before au
flowed incopious quantities without a
single idea. The majority were in favor
Of discarding the Democratic end of the
party altogether. but by persuasion and
much wrangling It was decided that the
Democrats be given the offices they now
hold If they can get them, which most
Of them thought, and so expressed it,
was very doubtful. The date of the con-
vention was set for August "a, and the
primaries will be held on the preceding
Saturday.
By the terms OF the contract Il Will be
found that the Democrats are to be given
the Offices Of county attorney and pro-
bate judge, in consideration for which
they are to support the Pop nominees
for the other offices. After some three
hours of conversation the meeting ad-
journed, feeling we'll satisfied with what
they had accomplished, even naming
date for convention.

SALIVA VS.. WICHITA
VIII Play Ball Today at Athletic
Park

Today, rain or shine, the Sslfna and
I Wichita base ball teams will cross bats
at Athletic park in what promises to be
the hottest game OF the season. The Salina
team is made up of Western Association
players and rhe citizens here have seen
the material of which the home team is
composed OF. They took two games out
of three from Topeka and the Salina team
has also won from the Capitol city boys.
Both of the scores were close and today's
game ought to be battle royal.
The battery for the home team will be
Menefee, catcher. and Bevis, pitcher. For
the Salinas, Cooper viii twtrI and Lob
man Will do the receiving.
The management has gone TO consider
able expense in order that there might
be a Sunday attraction here OF a high
grade and it ought TO be encouraged
Mayer, Hulburt and Rose will play in the
out field and McClosky, Cusick. Dunn and
Montgomery Will on the diamond for the
Wichitas II will be worth the price OF
admission TO see the way Cusick and
Montgomery hold a base runner on sec
ond, alone. Mayer, the iard hitting left
fielder, will be IN II. The Salina boys are
after getting Wichita's scalp and will do
anything honorable to win The umpir-
ing of Patsey Cahill will be one of the
features He makes the players play ball
and Will not tolerate any kicking, which
is a most pleasant relief from the ordi-
nary base ball exhibition. The game Will
be rushed through and each batter will
be up and coming. There will be snap,
ginger and lively ball for those who like
innocent sport. Anybody can with propri-
ETY. bring their lady friends without the
least fear of being confronted with lam
guage unbecoming gentlemen. Today's
game will be a dandy. The game will be
played if 1t don't rain after two o'clock
this afternoon. Should rain interfere rain
checks will be issued which will entitle |
the holder TO admission 60 the next game |

ed Bryan. The omission to repeat that

and every dollar taken from industry,
without an equivalent, is robbery" sent
vast multitude into the social labor
party: or back into the Republican
ranks. As s. M. Owen said, before 60
ing to st. Louis, III the Omaha plat
form Is too strong for the Democrats,
we will white it down till 1t does suit
them"
And to accomplish this work we were
driven of the committee on platform.
and Owen took our place; and he
whitfield the bowels out Of the Omaha
declarations
And now he wants us to make the
battle this year local question:"
"The small end of a stick, whitfield
down to point, and the point cut Off"
In 1894 he declared that FREE Sill
YER WAS NOT AN ISSUE: but we
must make our contest ON the declara-
ton that 'the political power of corpo-
rate monopoly must be suppressed"
He Is progressing in his grand descent
to the pathos OF SKINNED milk and d.
luted water. Now we are to ignore the
Omaha platform and the St. Louis plat
form and every other national declara-
ton OF our people. and go into the bat

friendship of the British government In the

AN OLD HUMBuG.

In our last issue we printed a letter
from that eminent patriot and Populist,
John R. Campbell, of Clyde, Mimi, in
which he dragged Mr.. s. M. Owen over
the red-hot Goals in lively style, for an
utterance in Farm, Stock and Home, "
of April l, in which he, Owen, said: CAS-
Quoted)
"a few years ago Populists, almost to
a man, contended that THE MONEY
QUESTION WAS THE ONLY ONE
WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION BY
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,"
We had the honor to write large
part of the Omaha platform of 1892, and
we were on the committee which con-
structed the remainder; and we know
that the silver question was regarded
at that time as side issue and not as
fundamental
Even Mr.. Owen himself made a speech,
in 1894, in Minneapolis, in which he told
the Populists that THEY MUST NOT
Make THEIR BATTLE ON THE
QUESTION OF FREE SILVER; be-
cause said that wise and patriotic states
man, WE ARE NOT AGREED UPON
THAT QUESTION! ! y
And he urged that we drop free sill
yer and everything else and go into the
fight on the profound platform:
THE POLITICAL POWER OF COR
PORATE MONOPOLY MUST BE SUP
PREssED!"
But he did not suggest how it was to
be suppressed. He blew a fraudulent
suggestion into the circumambient air.
Now he Is one Of the regents of q
state university, and he is not suppress
ing corporate monopoly as much as he
was
The cat must have bell around its
neck-says S. M.-so that the mice will
know when 1t approaches. but as Ga
vain Douglas said: "Who will bell the
cat?"
Aye, that's the rub.
And now this shallow-pated fraud says
that the only question few years ago
was the money question, to wit: FREE
SILVER! Which we ARE not agreed
uponI"
We pray Father Abraham to take this
shuffler to his bosom; or let the dis
tinctions between right and wrong and
truth and falsehood be forever and at
once abolished. I. D.
