SEALOCK DONE FOR
Clumsy Manipulation Of His
BaCkerS
PUTS HIM OUT OF RACE
For Consideration as Candi-
date for Reelection.

The Democratic party in Sedgwick
county Is not big enough to call a con-
vention. The county central committee
met some weeks ago and voted a call and
ordered it issued, but it was never made.
1t was neither sent out by letter to the
committeeman nor published. Chairman
Burton has not been able to get the call
made even when assisted by the local
Democratic leaders. They say that the
convention will meet on July % whether
there is any call or not. Secretary
Shields and 3. E. Kies, who want to
force the nomination OF Sealock, the Pop
candidate for commissioner, have stran-
gled the call because the Democrats have
demanded the place. The scheme Is to
let the Democratic convention go by de-
fault and hold the Pop convention first,
on July 90 as per agreement OF the two
committees some time ago. Sealock help
ed Howard gobble the county printing a
year ago for the two men who are now
backing him. Shields and Kies mean to
get him nominated first in the Pop con-
vention and later force the Democrats
INTO al endorsement OF MS nomination
and thereby secure a continuance Of the
''divyX' county printing contract. The
Pop Saders are demanding Sealock's re-
moval despite the fact that Mr.. Sealock
asked 10 be renominated. The Democrats
demanded the place and this accounts for
the non-appearance Of the call for the
Democratic convention which was voted
by the central committee to the date OF
July 20, when the Pop convention Is TO be
held. The Democratic convention will be
held July % notwithstanding the fact that
there has been no call, and sealock will
not be nominated even though Shields and
Kies have done a lot Of desperate and
clumsy manipulation TO keep him in.
Even IL there had been any show for Sea-
lock from the start, there Is too much in
dignatiOn now among Democratic and
Pop leaders over the squelching OF the call
TO even allow him any consideration. The
better politicians OF the fusion ranks re-
gard this proceeding as a very coarse,
malicious and unjust political manipula-
ton policy and the rank and file are hot
that bossIsm OF this kind should be at
tempted. Sealock will go.

ANOTHER ONE CAUGHT
Fred Perkins, Alleged Horse
thief, in Jail at Wellington.
Is WELL KNOWN HERE
Herne, Alias Jenkins, Rear
rested at Clearwater.

Fred Perkins who formerly attended
business college in this city and is quite
well known here. was arrested in Okla
homa, charged with stealing a horse from
old man Beam. of near Zyba, and is said
to be n the Wellington jail. He had his
preliminary hearing yesterday, and 1t is
understood that he was bound over to the
district court in the sum of 1900.
Although Perkins has never been con-
victed of horse stealing. he is strongly sus-
pected If having stolen several horses in
this county. and there Is almost conclu-
sive evidence that he stole horse, buggy,
harness and saddle from a woman with
whom he boarded when he went 20 school
here. She lived on North Emporfa ave-
nue.. Perkins is the son Of a we.l-to-do
business man at town in Oklahoma, but
II is said he Is very wild and reckless
young man. After some Of his raids here
the persons with whom he boarded no.
ticed that he had suddenly left the city,
but were surprised to notice his return
one day. he coming in wearing a soldiers
uniform. He had Joined Colonel Fitch's
regiment and served in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. Since then he has been under
suspicion OF having stolen two or three
horses.
This makes the third alleged horsethief
arrested in this and Sumner counties with
in the last week, and It looks like breaking
into the business pretty lively. Herne, the
fellow who was kept in the city Jail for
several days and released for lack Of evil
dence, was rearrested at Clearwater yes
terday morning by Sheriff Simmons. He
is said to have tried to steal a horse there,
but was very unwittingiy interrupted by
being nabbed before he took the horse.
The men who were watching him made q
mistake the detectives say, in not allow
ing him to take the horse and then arrest
him with the animal In his possession. In
this way they would have had a clear case
against him. When Sheriff Simmons
found out that he had not stolen the horse
he was going to turn him loose. when he
received a message from Arkansas City
telling him to hold Herne, as the officers
thought they could rake up a case against
him there. Herne sometimes goes by the
name Of Jenkins.
A. l. Lemley, who Is charged with steal
ing Surgeons mare, will have his prelim-
mary today. He Is said to be getting very
melancholy and has intimated that he
would like to commit suicide. It Is not
known what defense he intends to make.

DYNAMITE T0RPEDOES EXPLODE
severely InJurinK Charles Edwards
Drayman.


Charles Edwards, driver for the Rogers
Transfer company, was seriously injured
yesterday by an explosion OF dynamite
torpedoes. He was loading his wagon at
the Rock Island freight house and was or
dered to take q lot OF fireworks which
were consigned to ". {. Palmer. There
were two piles OF freight which he was
loading and he did not know which of the
boxes contained the fireworks, as they
were not labeled. Picking up two small
boxes which he judged belonged to Pal
mer, he. attempted TO lay them down in
the front end OF his wagon. Just before
Edwards went 10 lay them down the two
boxes OF torpedoes exploded almost in
simultaneously and shot into the air.
Some OF them struck Edwards in the face,
at the same time knocking him to the
rear end OF the wagon. Mr.. Herbig was
the first one to reach Edwards. He found
him lying with his face buried in his
hands and groaning with pain. He was
Immediately made as comfortable as pos
Eible and taken to his room over the
Singer Sewing machine companys store
on North Main street. where doctors at
tended him Immediately. His jaw was
fearfully lacerated, and his entire face
presented a mass Of bruises and cuts. His
upper set Of teeth were knocked out, his
nose was almost broken and one eye Is
thought to be destroyed. although DR..
Hamilton thinks he can probably save the
eye
Mr.. Edwards was not rendered uncon-
scious by the terrible force OF the dyna-
mite and he suffered a great deal OF pain.
Mr.. Herbig and the employees about the
freight house thought Mr.. Edwards was
surely killed. The sound Of the explosion
was fearful, they said, and was heard
uptown. Parts OF the torpedoes were
thrown as far as the passenger depot and
lodged on thu roof. Mr.. Edwards said
he could not account for the explosion.
He said he had not laid the boxes down,
mr. had he stumbled. but he thinks he
brought the two boxes gently together
while he was carrying them against his
breast.

WILL ASSIST COMMISSION.

&. A Fuller Returns From Chicago Where
He Gave Testimony on Freight Rates.
From Wednesdays Daily.
Chester A. Fuller, returned from
Chicago yesterday, where he went to
give testimony before a subcommittee
of the industrial commission concern
ing freight rates.
The impression seems to prevail that
Mr.. Fuller was appearing before the
Interstate commerce commission on the
case started by g. H. Johnson. This is
not the fact, and Mr.. Fuller's testimony
has no connection with hat case.
The committee before which he gave
his testimony is composed of Senator
Mallory of Florida, Representative
Lorimer of Illinois, Chas. j. Harris of
North Carolina, Allen j. Kennedy of
Washington, D. O., and Eugene H.
Conger of Grand Rapids, Mich.
The industrial commission, of which
these gentlemen form a part, was ap-
pointed by the president to eximine into
SuuJcCGS IoAdUiuS w ChO eOClal COhuiuioA
of the country and is gathering testi-
mony in reference to the relations exist
ing between capital and labor, the
financial conditions of the people and
concerning transportation with a view
to preparing statistics and making rec
concentrations to congress in regard
to suitable legislation to regulate all
such matters with justice to all.
MIR. Fuller heard the evidence OF
several witnesses and was with the com
mittee while they were taking testimony
for more than half a day. The testi'
mony is taken in detail with the aid OF
short hand reporters and the figures will
undoubtedly be valuble statistical in
formation.
He was before the committee giving
his testimony for about an hour, and
was treated very courteously. At the
close of the testimony of each witness
Mr.. Lorimer very cordially thanked
them for appearing.
Mr.. Fuller states that there were
many complaints of a similar nature tt
those made by him and he believes that
the report of the commissi on will un'
doubleday result in strengthening the
power of the Interstate commerce
commission to deal wit h such cases.
