BALL IN HIS BRAIN

Clark HALEY Carried Bullet in His

Clarke Haley, a 1s-year-old boy, was
Brought here from Enid yesterday to have
a bullet removed from his skull which
had been there three years. He was play

had a revolver in the crowd. In some
way the gun was accidentally discharged.
The ball passed through a thin wall parti-

left eye. 1t completely destroyed the

which showed the exact location of the
bullet as plainly as if the skull were
transparent. The ball had been f1attened

lay over and on the brain. Cutting into
it, the physician found was as difficult as
though the ball had never passed through
the frontal bone. The skull was opened
and the pressure removed from the brain,

operation to be finished, and he will be

MONEY Is THE CITY'S
That $1,000 Is in the General Fund
Of Wichita

Mayor Ross was asked by a reporter
yesterday about the $1,000 forfeit matter,
and said: Propositions had been made TO
take up $4,000 of railroad bonds and take
in lieu thereof new bonds at rate of in
terest lower to that extent that it would
save the city $4,000 dnstead of 5000, as
stated in the Eagle.). The proposition
submitted by Eads & CO. was accepted.
The negotiation in relation to this transac-
ton was carried on through the Fourth
National bank and Eads' representative.
I toldthe bankers that before l would en-
ter into any contract that Eads & Co.
must put up a forfeiture of $1,000 for faith
full performance on their part. They Of
fered a certified check. 1 asked the bank
ers If a certified check was as good as
cash, and they informed me that it was
and that ii was a criminal offense TO GER
tify a check unless the depositor had
funds on deposit to meet the same. AZ
forwards when Eads & Co. failed to per-
form the contract I went to the Fourth
National bank in company with the city
treasurer and the chairman Of the finance
committee. Giles Smith, and demanded the
money, and Mr.. Naftzger then and there
gave the city treasurer, Mr.. Herman.
credit for 5000. The same was then placed
to the credit Of the city Of Wichita in the
general fund. Then the check was sent
to Chicago by the Fourth National bank,
and the Chicago bank originally certify
ing refused payment. I afterwards under
stood that the bank had charged the city
treasurer's account with this amount and
the city treasurer had given himself credit
FOR that sum, This money having been
converted into the general fund OF the
city in the way in which I have stated.
it can not be got out OF that fund except
by an ordinance passed by the city coun-
eli. which has never been done. Mr.
Nsftzger stiu insists TO me that the certi-
fed check is good. The bonds were after

THAT EARLY VOTE.

Voters should not under-rate
the Importance of voting early.
They should vote the first thing
in the morning. There is the
best reason on earth why this
should be done. The more people
vote in the morning, the less
people will vote in the afternoon.
When men and women vote their
names are checked off. In the
afternoon those who have not
voted have to be found and
brought to the polls. This is DIFF
fiCuIt work. You can help out by
going to the polls III the morning
and voting. Don't think the
other voter is going to vote in
the morning and you are not
needed. Go and vote yourself,
and do it before noon.

CAMPAIGN OF DEFAMATION
Ross Administration Leaves Pops NJ
Material But ISLANDER

Ross Administration Leaves Pops No
Material But SANDER.
Not a disrespectful remark has been
made on the side headed by Mayor Ross
against the Populist ticket headed by Mr..
Tapp. In return the Republican ticket
headed by Mayor Ross has been de,uged
with a torrent of il1-natured falsiications,
abuse and slime never before equaled in
the history of Wichita.
Three-fourths of the men who today are
maligning him and abusing everyone who
is with him were a month ago sounding
Mayor Ross praises as the best mayor
Wichita ever had"
Paid heelers for the opposition ticket
headed by Mr.. Tapp have been sent forth
into the wards to accuse the Republican
candidates of everything from grand lar
ceny to chicken thievery. They are telling
from house to house stories which the
opposition papers are ashamed to repeat.
Every day some vicious rumor is started
TO prejudice someone, to blind someone. to
blacken someone's character.
More underhanded, contemplate lying
rumors have been started in this campaign
by the opposition to the Republican ticket
than was ever sprung in a campaign in
Wichita before.
The ticket headed by Mayor Ross is
made up Of as honorable men as Mr.. Tapp
or Mr. Helm or Mr.. Seth Tucker or Mr..
Dorsey, or the rest of the candidates.
The Republican ticket is made UP OF
men not only honorable but capable. They
have proven themselves capable. The
city records show it The streets show it.
The park attests it, and in fact every
move Of the administration shows it.
What is there necessary to the progress
and prosperity Of the city that the Ross
administration has not given? It could
not be any financial consideration, for the
city owes a great deal less and owns a
great deal more. With this, too, all sorts
of improvements have been made. When
a city's credit is enhanced and its debt
maintained and property values sent I'D
to almost double. what more can a COM
munity ask? What could any citizen. a
business man, a taxpayer, ask more OF
any administration? Any single item of
the general Improvement of Wichita in
the last two years would have made the
Ross administration credtable, but as it
is. IN all, il has hardly been surpassed in
any city in the west in a dozen years. And
yet there are people who howl for a
change-an experiment.
II you are voter, stop a minute and
see if there Is anything necessary to the
growth and Improvement and prosperity
Of the city that a mayor can do that Ross
hasn't done and started to accomplish?
You know that Ross has been successful.
You know him. You have tried him and
round him safe. You feel 50. Do you want
a change. for no other reason in the world
than to simply have a change? VIII You
experiment with the interests OF the city
for the sake of political prejudice?

He KNOWS HIM
Mr.. Cunningham Confirms
Reynolds Statement,
OF ROSS CHARACTER
Ability, Generosity and lnteg-
rity in Business

The following communication has been
received by the Eagle: To the Editor of
the Eagle-I would like TO say my little
piece along with Mr. Harvey Reynolds, a
gentleman do not know. do know Fin
lay Ross, and nave known him for over
twenty-one years, and he has been the
same Finlay, whenever and wherever
have met him. I worked for him in 1888,
and viii substantiate everything Dir. Rey-
nolds said in the Sunday Eagle of Mr..
Ross, always prompt and just in all trans
actions of private business, as he has been
in public affairs since he has been mayor.
The city has taken a new lease on life
since his election. I well remember when
the police officers had to discount their
vouchers for several months because there
were no funds in the treasury 10 meet
running expenses. 1t Is unfair for the
voters 70 count only the 81, 930.55 paid to
laboring men by the city, as the only bene-
fit derived from a business administration,
for the improvements commenced and
those completed have given an impetus to
the citizens all over the city 10 repair, re-
paint and otherwise improve homes and
rental property. All this has helped skilled
labor and dealers of construction ma
terials, Every one can sse a great change
in the last TWO years, and the good work
still goes on All loyal citizens hope TO see
a continuance. 1 do firmly believe Mr..
Tapp is a good man, but 1 know Finlay
Ross is, and j also know that he is the
right man in the right place. Why change
while all the best interests of the city are
looking up7' Mr.. Ross does not need the
salary, but the city needs his services.

AFTERNOON BURGLARY.
Jewelry and Money Abstracted From a

house on Beretania near Punchbowl
street was entered Sunday afternoon.
Entrance was gained through the rear
door. Some jewelry and a small sum
of money in silver was taken. Hang
