ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL
First Ward Bryan Club Met Last
Night

1t was nearly o'clock when the First
ward Bryan and Stevenson club was call
ed to order last night in the A O. u w
lhaI. They waited for a crowd but wait
led in vain. No crowd appeared, so they
began without it. There We're nineteen in
the room when the meeting began. Be
fore the close four more came in, so the
entire attendance was twehty-three
Two or three candidates for county Of
fee were in the room before the meeting
began and were expected to speak, but
when the chairman called for them they
hay disappeared It was thought that
they did not care to speak to such small
turn out.
4 few Of the members expressed their
thoughts upon the issues ana then the
main speaker for the evening, Mr. Silas
Corning of Topeka, was introduced.
When he took his stand at the center of
the hall he said in part:
Club organizations are a very impor-
tant element of strength in a campaign.
They are a necessity. Now when 1 came
down here I really expected there would
be a larger attendance at your club. You
surely have more members. The ques-
ton is why are they not out? Your
chirman says he has faith we will win
and so our people are saying everywhere.
But there is not enough interest being
manifested. There IS too much apathy.
If this room were full tonight it would
have more effect upon the people than
any speech could possibly make"
The speaker then went on to give reas-
ons why the allied forces should get up
some enthusiasm. He said if Mckinley
was elected it meant goodbye to liberties.
Then he tried to picture how the middle
and common classes would be enslaved
to the Dlutocrats.
Mr.. Corning suggested TO the allied
forces that in order to have a crowd one
clubs meeting should be attended by an
the other clubs. He said If they would
do this they might have a rousing meet
ing and have the Republicans scared.

Buy ON FIRST STREET
Moore Brothers Secure Vaiu-
able Lots Yesterday.
CONSIDERATION is $500
Owned by the Nashua Saving
Bank of New Hampshire.

Yesterday afternoon deal was con-
summated whereby Moore Bros, Of the
Wichita Stove Works became the own
ers of the property on First street be-
tween the Santa Fe tracks and Mead
avenue. This property has been occupied
for some time by the Moore firm and the
consideration is said to have been So 700.
The property will eventually be very
valuable as the city advances in size.
and will be used for business purposes.
The Moore Brothers have enlarged their
plant a number OF times and are working
on the matter of building over more
ground as their business increases.
The property was owned by the
Nashua Savings Bank, of Nashua, New
Hampshire. and was secured during the
boom. Since that time Mr.. E. D. Kim
bah has had charge Of their property
in this city and county.
The property, while It extends from
the Santa Fe tracks to Meade avenue Is
in reality 225 feet by 23O feet and consists
Of several lots. The greater portion Of
the property. however, has been occupied
by the foundries Of the Moore Brothers.
It has not been such a great while
since the Moore brothers came to this
city and started UP a modest stove works
concern. They pulled ahead with their
line of goods and the result has been
that they have been continually forced to
put in new machinery, secure more men
to keep the trade supplied over their ter
ritory. The building formerly used BY
them was not large enough for their
needs and another was secured. Again
it is necessary for them to secure more
room and this they do by purchasing
the property formerly used by them At /
some future time new building will be
built there and it VIII be used by the !
Moore Brothers

OF NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
Mr, =. A. McClung. Pioneer Shoe Man.
Dies YnSfer.dar. ---..


1 Mr.. S. A. McClung, the founder Of the
/ Gette-McClung Boot and Shoe company
/ OF this city, died at his home, JOY North
Emporia avenue, yesterday morning Of
! nervous dyspepsia contracted in 1870 Mr..
/ McClung was enc Of the most highly re-
/ spected business men in the city. He was
/ IS years of age and since 1883 has been
( in business here. At that time he and
/ Mr.. Getto started the Getto-McClung
wholesale boot and shoe house in this
/ city and continued under the firm name
until 1893. Then the firm name of the
I house was changed to that of the S. A.
McClung Wholesale Boot and Shoe COM
pany. 1t was the first wholesale shoe
house started in the city, and from the
/ beginning of the business it has con-
trolled a large trade over Wichfta's adj
jacent territory.
Mr. McClung was reared in New AL
bany, Ind, and at that place the Nc
Chung family in this city were reared.
For number Of years Mr.. McCIung was
IN the wholesale business in Louisville.
KY. In fact, he was probably the Oldest
she merchant doing business in the east
ern market, having been for forty-five
years actively engaged in that work
SIX children and Mrs. McClung are left
to mourn the loss of father and husband
The sons are j E. McCIung, c. L. Nc
Chung and Harry c. McClung. Three
daughters, of whom Misses Jennie and
Hattie are in the city and the third
Mrs. Andrew Baird of Topeka, who ar
rived in the city last night.
Mr.. McClung as a man was one of the
most reliable and courteous that Wfch-
tia possessed He had an air about him
that gave One perfect assurance. and bv
this Characteristic readily drew people to
like him.
'Those&swho were nearest his inner life
admired him more. His was an unselffsh
nature, always ready to do an act of
Kindness or to help some one out Of
serious difficulty In the home he was
an ideal father and husband. His life at
all times was above reproach and no one
ever had an unkind word to say Of the
deceased.
aSsgs9time ago Mr.. Meeting retired
fro1a tie active management of the
WhPl sale business on account of his
health, and this was turned over to Mr.. !
Harry c. McClung. who is well known 4
Of Wichita's trade territory. Since that /
time Mr.. McClung seldom came to the |
office. usually staying in his room or |
around the home. Sometimes in the af- |
ternoon he was driven over the city in |
his carriage.
No man had more faith in the future of /
the city than did Mr. McCIung. 1t is said !
that at one time people tried to persuade
him to leave the city owing to trade diff I
fculties. This he refused to do, SAYING I
that he would stay with the city because
it was to he a metropolis Mr. McCIung
had great many. Interesting things to /
tell of the early boot and shoe trade.
Some were amusing and others were
touching.
Many people in the city viii mourn the
1eath of Mr.. McClung His life was a
splendid one, and even in the last days
ne was happy and cheerful, even though
ne knew that HIS time was near.
