Anniversary of wOman's Home Mis-
siGnary Held.

A special to the Eagle from FL Dorado
says:
In the afternoon yesterday the anniver-
sary Of the Womans Home Missionary
society was held, the address being given
by Miss Winifred Spalding, a general rep
resentative of the society. Following this
DR.. Hoss, president of the Western School
of Oratory at Wichita, gave very prac-
teal lecture to the younger ministers on
"Oratory in the Pulpit
In the evening Dr. Martindale, repre-
senting the general committee of the
board of church extension, made a very
effective address in behalf of that work.
The session today was largely taken up
with the reception of reports from the
standing committees. The committee on
temperance referred very appreciatingly
to the attitude Of Governor Stanley to-
ward the prohibitory law.
The conference laid on the table a mo-
ton favoring the admission Of "provis-

Gus GOERS KNOWS
He Calls the Wichita Political
Mud hroWers Down.
HE WORKED TWELVE YEARS
For Ross and Knows Some
thing About 1t.

Most of the people in the city will re-
member Gus Goers, who used to live in
Wichita, but who is now employed in En-
poria Gus was Wichita boy familiar TO
many people because he played tht bass
viol in Shaws orchestra, and familiar to
the people in surrounding towns because
the orchestra, and he with it, visited those
places for dances and entertainments fire.
quently.
The dema gogic howl started In Wichita
that Mayor Ross was not the friend of the
workingman, has caught Gus eye and he,
as others have done before him, hastens
to nail the Justification.
He was in the employ OF Mayor Ross
for twelve years and his evidence in the
matter will perhaps be admitted as evil
dence even by those who are using the
cry for demagogic purposes.
'Emporia, Kan, March 2s, 1899
ITO the Editor Of the Eagle.
Dear Sir-Can you suggest to me any
thing / can do for Mr.. Ross?
Il have lived in Wichita nearly all my
life and was in Mr.. Ross employ as sales
man for nearly twelve years, and as an
employer of laboring men l can truthfully
say he is one of the most liberal and kind
hearted. When I was in his employ l had
occasions to be out of the store several
days at time, and never did Mr.. Ross de-
duct one penny off my salary for such alb
sence. I am a Democrat and have always
voted the ticket, and I wish 1 was in
Wichita so that 1 could vote for Mr.. Ross,
the best mayor Wichita ever had and
true friend to the laboring man. 1 am
yours respectfully, G.. GOERS."

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 23.-The last Of
the official returns have now been GER
titled by the County Boards of Cam
vassers, and probably within o week
the State Election Commissioners at
Frankfort will begin their task Of de-
termining, which ticket was elected
November z.
The Jefferson county canvassers to-
day heard argument of counsel on a
motion to throw out the vote Of the city
of Louisville on the ground of alleged
intimidation by soldiers who were call
ed out by Governor Bradley on cleo
ton day. The Republicans took the
ground that the board has no jurisdic-
tlon, being empowered simply to count
and tabulate the votes.
This view was sustained and the
matter now goes to the State Election
Board, where no doubt the motion of
the Democrats will be renewed.
A number of additional indictments
were returned to-day by the Federal
grand jury against alleged violators of
election laws.

Washington. D. D., Nov Ex-senator
James *. Jones. of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
returned to Washington to-day from
his trip to Chicago where he went to
attend conference of the Executive
Committee.
There was some effort on the part
of outsiders" said he, Ito make 1t ap-
pear that very significant business was
being transacted by the committee. AS
plain matter of fact, there was little
or nothing Of popular interest in the
meeting. 1t was simply to arrange

What will be the policy of the Dem
ocratic Senators towards .legislat ton

Democratic, speaking generally"
was the Senator's reply. az don't pre-
tend to speak for anybody but myself
when talk about any particular meas
ures. I believe in resisting to the ut
most the proposed gold standard legis-
ia tieifTthe abolition or grcenbacks and
the extension of privileges to nationa,
banks. The Hawaiian Islands are now
part of our domain by annexation
and the people there should be ad-
mitted to all privileges OF government
that are accorded to residenS Of the
United States.
IF we are to regard ourselves as
Christian gentlemen, standing by the
declaration of independence, do not
see how we are to force upon the Gu
bans nor the Filipinos any form of gov
eminent without the full consent Of the
governed 1t seems TO me out of the
question to ever make State out of
the Philippine islands,
Senator Jones asked with considera-
BILE concern about the developments in
the case of Senator Quay, of Pennsyl-
vania. Apart from personal considera-
lions. he said he should regard It as a
very grave error for the Senate to al
low Mr.. Quay to retain his seat. 1.-THE
precedents are so strong against this"
said Senator Jones, that a reverse vote
now would give the country at large
the idea that the Senate was playing

Automatic Telegraph Inysn,,on..


Chicago, Nov. Demonstrations
that were accepted as meeting every
expectation were made to-day with the
Pollak-Virag rapid automatic telegraph
invention. Messages were sent over a
circuit that extended from the Tribune
Office to st. Paul, and over other cir
cults that reached to Cleveland and
Buffalo and back to the Tribune office
The speed attained over the loop to
Buffalo and back reached ut one time
the rate of $4,000 words an hour, the
message travelling 1850 miles.
The test made over the Buffalo loop
decided the inventors to proceed with

The constant arrival of transports and

among the military.
Although the authorities exercise n

now are prepared to act against the
Boer aggression in the North.
Although it Is absurd to under rate
the Free Staters, yet 1t is the opinion
of many competent to judge that they
will not resist the British advance with
