WILL LEAD THE GRAND REPUBLICAN PARTY ON TO OROUS VICTORY

A scene of wild enthusiasm followed
the m ention of Mckinley's name at the
close OF Foraker's speech. Delegates
an instant. A roar of approval filled
the building, and the great crowd
waved their fans and danced with de-
light. In two mioutes the demostra-

renewed again.
The yells were ear-splltting. Sud-
denly there appeared from hundreds of
places red, white, and blue plumes that
were 8 feature of the nomination scenes
at st. Louis. Banners designating the
state deleg cations were torn from their
fsstenings and waved in the air.
Kansas with iss Roosevelt banner
started towards the stage. All the
convention fell In line. Hawaii's ma
room colored banner was the most con-
spicuous in the line. The standard
bearers marched about the aisle and
then msssed on the stage.
When the Hawaii delegation
reached the elevation American flags
we're draped by enthusiastic delegates
about the standard of the islands.
Some one handed one of the long
plumes to Hanna. He waved it in
harmony. A chorus of cheers followed
and Hanna was the center of the de-
mostratIon.
Two bands played with might and
main, but nothing could be heacd of
them but the rum BILE of the bass
drums. Some of the delegates struck
up "Glory, Glory, Hsllelujah," ard
the cheers subsided for q minute
while g chorus of hundred voices
sang the familiar strains. 1t was q

For II minutes the demon strat tion con-

-Four years ago the American peo-
pie confided to him their highest and
most sacred trust. What has been the
result? When he entered office he
found business psralyzed and he has
brought prosperity unprecedented to
this country. He found labor idle, he
gave it employ ment: he found despair
and gave the paople prosperity and
buoyant hopes. he found mills. shops,

AFTER CENSUS JOBS
Between 40 and 30 Applicants are at
Work on Examinations

There are said to be between 40 and 50
candidates for government positions in
Wichita, and already a large number have
received their examination blanks which
they are to fill out satisfactorily before
their applications VII be considered fur
Their. The examination is said to be quite
a severe one, and some of them are afraid
they will not finish in the designated time
Of five days. One who was studiously
working on his blanks yesterday said he
had understood that there are to be emu
merators enough to do the work in fifteen
days from the time they begin on the
first of June. He said one enumerator
would be appointed for each precinct in
the city. In view of this arrangement
some Of the boys are not so particular
whether they pass a good examination
or not as the job would not last long
enough to pay them for the work and
worry. The enumerators will all begin
the first day of June ana be ready 10

years. He started in as a mule driver
and was soon promoted to be foreman
Of the stables. When the electric cars
were put on he at first ran a car but was
soon put on as a transfer man. Several
years ago he was promoted to what is
called the Office job-that is, he has

morning, when he is relieved by the

BURGLARS BREAK INTO FRANK

Stole Lot of Small Change and some
Goods.

Frankinfeld's grocery store, at the cor

larized yesterday morning about o'clock.
The thieves broke in the front door and
robbed the till. They got about s. in
change and it is supposed that they took
along some merchandise, although it is
not known how much. The robbery was
not discovered until after the thieves had
escaped and no trace of them has been
found.
Mr.. Frankinfeld's store was burglarized
a few months ago, when the thieves made
better haul than that of yesterday
morning. 1t is thought the burglars who
did the work yesterday morning are the
same fellows who tapped the store be-
fore, and while the officers have no clue
they have their suspicious are resting on
