NAILS THE ISLANDER
Man Who Knows Stamps Out
a Campaign Lie,
PREJUDICEO SHOULD READ
Those Bound to Keep on
FaIsifying Should Not.

In face Of the fact that Mayor Ross has
saved and acquired for the city by shrewd
and careful management thousands and
thousands Of dollars which he has spent in
giving men work to improve the city, and
in face of the fact that his record cannot
be equalled by that of any other mayor
in any other western city. the agitators
are trying to mislead a great many people
by the assertion that Finlay Ross is not a
friend to the laboring man
The assertion is false. The men who
make it claiming authority know it is
false. The men who make it without au-
thority are misIed and should know the
facts.
Now, who is competent to say whether
Finlay Ross is a man who treats those he
employs fairly?
The man who has had relations with
Finlay Ross is he who is competent 10
testify, is the only man a court Of justice
would admit as a competent witness.
The following communication has been
not by the men who are professionally agi-
tating, for they viii go on with the false
hood, but it should be read by the men
who have been misled.
No mayor has improved the city as
Mayor Ross has improved It. No man has
gained by business management and bust
ness tact the amount of money, making it
possible to employ men to improve the
city, rs he has done.
Read this letter:
''To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Permit me through the columns Of your
paper to speak to the laboring men OF
Wichita, a body of men who are now be-
ing Influenced and persuaded by false and
malicious rumors detrimental to Mr.. Ross.
81 feel that am in a position to speak.
as am now and have been ever since 1
have been able TO work, a laboring man
and worked for Mr. Ross as a salesman
for five years, up TO the time he went out
Of business.
During the time worked for him, at
various times 1 was so sick that 1 could
not go TO my work for several days at a
time; nevertheless Mr.. Ross, in the good
ness of his heart, never once deducted that
time from my salary, but paid me for
every month in full. If at any time We
were compelled TO work overtime we al
ways received pay for it accordingly.
Mr.. Gus Curse, who IS now working at
Emporia, Kan, at a lucrative position, Sc
cured for him by Mr.. Ross, worked with
me in Mr. Ross store for several years,
during which time Mr.. Curse was mem
Der Of Thos. Shaw's band, and on numer-
Gus occasions was compelled on that &C
count to be away from the store for sew
eraI days at a time, yet never was dol
lar deducted from his salary for his abb
sence.
Il am now working for the Innes Dry
Goods company. on North Main street,
and am willing and ready TO give informa-
ton that will conclusively show that Mr..
Ross is a staunch and true friend Of the
laboring man.
Permit me to say that I have been
prompted to write this because I have
heard. during the last two weeks, political
barnacles and parasites andeavoring TO
influence laboring men with false rumors
mahciously created and circulated by
themselves. HARVEY REYNOLDS,

EX-UNION SOLDIERS IN OFFICE
Mayor Ross Has stood by the Vet
Grams of the CitY

An effort is being made by some OF the
very men who have for years been fight
ing the eX-Union soldiers because Of their
pensions, to get the ex-Union soldiers TO
vote against Mayor Ross on the false
charge that he has given the veterans no
recognition in appointments.
But, ike the other efforts TO snow Ross
under an avalanche Of abuse. Justification
and ridicuIe, this will soon be settled for
ever by the almighty truth. which no
amount of chicanery and falsihcadon can
overcome.

Ross appointed? Take the list and COM
pare it with other mayors. These men ali

The sober second thought Of the Ameri-

The sober second thought Of the people Of
Wichita in the contest for the Office of the
rnayoralty this spring will finally resolve
Itself into the proposition Of fair play.
Passion and prejudice and the idle talk Of
the street corner will not govern the i'm
pulses of the man when he comes TO vote.
He VIII then conclude that ne is acting TO
some extent as Juror would in arriving
at verdict ard he will be governed by
his judgment, by the evidence, by the
honest impulses Of his manhood. The rec
ord which Mr.. Ross has made as mayor
OF this city for the past two years is made
Up. It is a fact which can be got at.
Neither he nor his friends can hide it nor
so away with It and the passion and
prejudice Of personal ambition can neither
hide nor confuse it so as TO deceive and
mis,ead the man who chooses to fnvesi-
gate. TWO years ago. on the night Of the
electi@a Finlay Ross said 10 a gentleman,
that the city Of Wichita must have a
purely business administration. C0ndi-
lions are more critical now than ever be-
fore in her history. The same economy
The same integrity, the same business tact
that the successful business man uses in
the management Of his affairs must be
brought 70 bear upon the management Of
the municipal affairs Of this city. I shall
endeavor 10 give as much employment 10
the laboring man o. the city of Wichita
IS IS consistent with the conditions, and if
can save any money by reducing the cost
Of those utilities which are owned by cor
porations I am perfectly willing that what
ever is saved IN this respect should 20 into

HOGS REMAIN STEADY
Fair Supply For Monday and
Quality Fair
TOPS STICK TO S3.45
Cattle Steady With Light
Supply.

All the western live stock markets and
the provision pit ruled steady yesterday
On fair Monday receipts and demand good.
The local market was at all times steady
with very fair run 1t was a very fair
Gay for the opening day of the week.
There were seven cars weighed up and
soil and at favorable figures for shipper
and seller. For greater part Of the
day the trading was light and feeding
sluggish, the sole reason, however, beng
the light run. The wagon trade was a.
most nothing, there being only a few
scattering punches in from this division
and these being of only fair stock The
car hogs for the most part came in n
spurts and mostly at the close OF the day
The best of them, however, were prompt
~ bid upon and transferred, and the 5u,k
Of the trading was toward the close.
4 here was very fair demand from the
several trading interests when there we're
sufficient hogs in to make 1t interesting
and the quality approaching the grade Of
butcher hogs. There We're some beIated
arrivals which were penned and fed ard
will cross the scales early this morning.
The quality Of the hogs was fair and
while nothing fancy appeared, there were
some lots which were Of good solid flesh
and blocl1y, well-fOrmed, fat hogs. These
had no trouble IN selling when arriving
early enough. The average weight was
very much better than Saturday md 81
just the same point as on Friday. II
was p pounds heavier yesterday than Sat
urday. The tops were the same as Tor the
past three trading days namely 3D. AMI
yesterday three cars sold at this figure
AL the car sales came within the bulk
of sales, and all sales save three indif-
ferent wagon lots came inside the bulk
range. There were no extra light LOADS
and some registered heavy. The receipts
were heavier than Saturday and about
the same as Friday. The approach Of
the legal holiday had no little 10 30 with
the volume Of receipts yesterday, although
It was quite satisfactory in the man.
The best hogs sold easily when in before
the late close, and prices were to the ad-
vantage of sellers

for choice droves The estimate for today
is 10000. Kansas City received 6,27O hogs,
against 400 Saturday and the market
was active at steady prices. St. Louis
was steady, with 1850 received, against
the same number Saturday.
The United States embassy at Brussels
has reported TO the state department at
Washington that the Belgian government
has, by decree issued on the 18th instant,
rescinded the Introduction upon the impor
tatOn of American cattle. The decree
takes effect May 81. The state depart
ment is very proud of its achievement in
securing the re-opening of the Belgian
markets to American cattle, they having
been closed since 1894. Upon the organ
izatiOn of the reciprocity office under
President McKinley's administration, the
chief of that office took up the Belgian
question, and negotiations have been go
