REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS
AND THE GOLD STANDARD.
The Roberts Case Has Stirred Up
the Mckinley MenagerIe
Correspondence Tor the Argus.

- w hohiNhlON, " ", DcG. Il. -
Democrats have every reason to be
pleased with the outcome Of the
first week OF Congress. Mr.. Nc.
Kinley and the majority in both
House and Senate have committed
the Republican party irrevocaoly
to the perpetuation Of the single
gold standard, Mr.. Mckinley in
his message TO Congress, the Re
publican Senators by the gold stan
dard bill introduced by the Char
man Of the Finance Committee,
and the Republican Representatives
by the action Of their caucus in en-.
dorslng the gold standard bill,
prepared last summer under Mr..
McKinley's orders by committee,
of which Speaker Henderson was
Chairman, and ordering it rail-
roaded through the House. In adj
dltion, the Republican Rcpresen Ia
tves have gone back on all their
professions Of reform and unani-
mously adopted the old Reed gag
rules, and the Repu 5lcan Senators
have decided upon the grab policy
of increasing their own and reduc-
ing the Democratic representation
on all the Senate Committees.
These things Will all be understood
by the people, and they will all
make Democratic votes. That's
why the Democrats in Congress are
pleased with them; they enjoy see =
ing the Republicans helping along
their own defeat.
Representative Richardson, of
Tennessee, the new leader of the
House Democrats, and Representa-
tive Bailey, of Texas, the old lead q.
cr. were both among the thirty one
mem bers who voted against the
resolution denying Roberts, of
Utah, the right of being sworn in,
In advance OF the investigation of
the charges against him. These
votes were not cast in favor of
Roberts, but AS a protest against
the method in which the Republi
cans proposed TO get rid of him.
Mr.. Richardson explicitly stated
that if Roberts were shown to be
guilty, he would vote for his ex-
pulsion from the House, adding ::
IF there is one thing the Amerl-
can people are "a unit upon, it is
that the American home shall be
preserved i'll all it's loveliness,
sweetness and purity"

STORIES OF COL. BLACKWELL
Career Of a Remarkable and Accen.
trio Nan

Colonel Blackwell, whose death Is re-
ported, was frequent Wichita visitor.
The stories he told of his own life in the
Eagle office during his visits would fill a
volume. He was a familiar figure in the
mining towns o fSouthwest Missouri and
! Southeast Kansas in the early days He
! had been a prominent figure in some of
the notable events OF that section of the
| country. He was a resident of joplin,
MO-, for many years and it was from this
city that he was sent to the penitentiary
/ for ten years on a charge Of counterfeit
| ing. He had a peculiar sort of a lottery
/ arrangement which he used In all of the
county fairs, and by means of which he
succeeded in disposing of many thous-
and dollars worth of counterfeit money
| This he made himself, from plates which
he had made by experts, and the authori-
ties said that the bills he used were of
the very finest and most difficult of detec-
ton He was finally caught up with
| however, and his trial was a most sensa-
uonal one. While it was in progress he
was building the opera house of this CITY.
which burned down but short time ago.
He was sentenced to the penitentiary for
ten years, and was taken to the federal
PRISON. in Detroit.
After about a years incarceration, he
wrote letter TO the United States mar
shal Of this place. disclosing 10 him the
/ hiding place Of the plates which had been
used in making the counterfeit bills. They
were found buried in the corner of the
fence at the fair grounds. Shortly after
this he was released from Imprisonment
on pardon from the president. He re-
turned 10 Joplin, and. being a man OF
great foresight, he recognized the oppor-
tunities that the Indian Territory offered
TO a shrewd business man. He went 70

Successfully Treats All Chronic
Diseases by His New Method,

! The nineteenth century has given TO
the world many new inventions, ideas and
scientific discoveries, which mark this
( as the era OF progress. One of the greatest
and possibly most beneficial TO mankind
IS Professor Samuers new method of
treating all nervous troubles and chronic
diseases by absorption through the eyes
Professor Samuel has been practicing
oDtician in Kansas and throughout the
west for the past q years and for the past
four years located at Topeka, where he
has been accredited by the Topeka press of
effecting many wonderful cures Of ner-
vous troubles. removing cataracts and
even curing chronic diseases OF many
years standing. Professor Samuels has
gained wide renOwn and has many pa
TENTS who come hundreds of miles TO be
treated by his new method. He has de-
-cided to locate in Wichita. An Eagle re-

comments regarding the successful treat
ment of various chronic cases by his new
method.
He informed the reporter that none
of his Wichita property is for sale,
as he always has had great faith in the
Peerless Princess and which is without
question the commercial center of the
great and prosperous southwest, and that
approaching this fact. also that a large
percentage of his patients are in South
ern Kansas and Oklahoma, he had decided
to locate in Wichita. which is more CEN
trally located and places him nearer his
patients, and for the present will be To-
Gated at the Carey hotel.
He comes highly recommended by the
press and private letters from many of
Topeka's most prominent citizens, some
of whom are personally acquainted with
the really wonderful cures effected by his
new method. He is also an expert Opt

WILL START Up SOON
Hooking Wholesale Hardware
Company Getting Ready.
To OPEN UP FOR BUSINESS
Have Received Thirty-Six Car
loads of Goods.

The Hockaday Wholesale Hardware
| company was finally organized yesterday
| by the election of Ed Hockaday, president
E. F. Battin, vice president; c. F. Ben
nett, secretary, and I. w. Hockaday, trea-
surer and general manager.
This company was largely induced to To-
cate their plant in this city by the untir-
ing efforts of some of the members of the
Commercial cub of this city. The gen
tlemen having come from Oklahoma 10
find a location for a wholesale jobbing
house, never got away from the persuasive
members of the club, who spen-
several days in showing the members of
the new firm the many advantages that
this city held out TO those who were look
ing for a loca ton for the jobbing business.
The Hockaday company was very well
satisfied with the outlook and location and
settled the matter of location at once.
They leased the big four-story building
corner of Third street and Fifth avenue
and commenced work at once on the re-
modelling of the property to more conve-
nient.y suit the purposes of their business.
The concern has in the meantime received
thirty-six carloads of goods besides local
shipments Of stock received. The company
has an independent track running into the
building they occupy, making big saving
in the handling of goods both in receiv-
ing and shipping -Four experienced trav-
cling men will start out soon after the
opening date of the company's starting out
upon their career as a Wichita wholesale
jobbing house. They expect to open their
doors on February T.
1t is reported that the firm is one of the
strongest wholesale hardware houses in
the southwest Those who go to make up
the company are: Mr.. Ed Hockaday
president, and resident of Kingfisher. o.
T., who is conducting a retail store at that
point which is one of the adjuncts of the
wholesale house here. Another member
is Mr.. E. T. Battin. the vice president,
who conducts a retail store at Caldwell
which is also connected with the firms
interests here. Mr. C. F. Bennett. the sec
rotary, was formerly of Ell Reno. 0. T.
but has removed to this city, where he
VIII reside in the future; as will Mr.. I. n.
Hockaday, the treasurer and general man.
aser of the new wholesale house. Mr.. 1
n. Hockaday has been one of the prime
movers in the bringing about of the or
ganzation Of the new firm and the final
seIectlon of this city as the place where
the new company would cast its lot.
1t may be mentioned in the closing of
this article that the company mas a retail
store a. Enid, o. T, and several others
located elsewhere.

NEED A NEW JUDGE
Fred C. Trigg Talks of the
Federal Court.
DOCKET Is WAY Benin D
Judge Fosters Successor Will
Have Plenty to Do.

Judge Foster has resigned as judge Of
material to the interests of Southern Kan
sas lawyers and litigants that the appoint
ment Of his successor be made in time
for the March term of court to be held
in this city. The business of the court has
been accommodating during the illness Of
Judge Foster, and the docket needs clear
ing for once, at least, in many years.
Wichita ought to have federal court
In fact, as wei as in name" said a busy
Official yesterday.
Whatever the results of the scramble
for Judge Fosters place, it is a matter
of much Importance to Wichita, as well
as to the lawyers and business men of
Southeastern Kansas, that the business of
this court have the proper attention and
that the cases docHeted for trial will be
disposed Of expeditiously, instead Of be-
ing continued from time to time, as has
been the case for the past six or seven
years, owing to the inability of Judge Fos-
ter to handle the business of the court.
His health having failed him, Judge Foster
has sent his resignation to Washington
It will be acted upon and the appointment
OF his successor is anXiously looked for
The first term Of court under the new
federal judge viii be held in Wichita next
March, and it will necessarily be a lengthy
one, for there are hundreds of old cases
that have been continued from time to
time TO be disposed Of al the March term
by the new judge. For the last six
years, said prominent out-of-town at
torney, 'the federal court at Wichita has
been practically a farce Litigants have
taken their cases to other courts in order
TO have them disposed of promptly. and
the terms of court in this city have re-
Gently become practically Of no use to
Southern Kansas. Only the most inpor-
tant criminal cases would be heard
while most of the others would be con-
Tinued, and court would not ho,d more
than six or eight days, when there is
enough business to keep it grinding for
three weeks. The Old-time business will re-
turn when the new judge gets at work"
When Judge Foster was unable to at
tend 70 his duties, another judge was as
signed 10 this court, and naturally he
would not feel disposed to work off any Of
the old docket. and in his hurry would
neglect action on the new cases. conse-
qrently the docket is very much behind
and litigants have had their money tied
up FOR years. Much money has been
heedlessly wasted by bringing a, gang Of
witnesses into court, keeping them here
for two or three days and then not try
The case on which they came to testify.
Speaking Of this matter at the Manbat-
tan last night, Fred c. Trigg, deputy
United States marshal, said
