ALLHAND'S WILD RIDE
Stood Up in Road Wagon and Guided
Runaway Team.


The delivery team of Geo. lines & Co.
ran away yesterday afternoon about 3
O'Clock. They were going east past the
Missouri Pacific depot, at the corner of
Second and Water streets, when they be-
came frightened at the engines and ran
away in spite Of the efforts of the driver,
Frank Allhands. Some time ago Allhands
was a member of the fire department,
and the training he received there Ger
tainly showed itself yesterday afternoon.
He stayed with his team and kept per-
fectly cool and collected.
In front Of the second street entrance
Of the Fletcher building was a carriage
in which were two women and two chill
dren. The runaways were headed straight
for them, but Allhands pulled his horses
to one side and thus saved at least some
of them from what seemed certain death.
He also kept from running into another
team that was going along Main street
and then guided his horses straight down
Second. AT st. Francis avenue the horses
got over their scare and Allhands got
them stopped He turned around and
came back to Main, where he picked up
two scoop shovels and negro boy that
had been spilled out there.
The spring wagon was badly racked,
but nothing seemed to be broken The
most remarkable thing about the whole
affair was that there was no seat on the
wagon and Al1hands took this wild drive
standing up in the slippery bed, with
nothing to brace him. He also showed
that he had plenty of the right kind Of
nerve, for when he got back he was not
even excited

JOE MUSSELMAN ROBBED
Sneak Thief Entered Bed Room and
stole SEE in Cash.

The room of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Mus
selman, 1856 North Main street, was en-
tenered by a sneak thief night before
last and now Mr. Musselman is minus
his purse and $50 in cash, besides othen
valuables that are very important to him
but utterly worthless to the thief Mr.
Musselman, on retiring for the night,
emptied his pockets and placed the con-
tents thereof on the dresser, intending
TO wear another suit yesterday Some
time during the night the sneak thief
entered through a lower hall door which
was not locked. went directly to Mr.
Musselnan's dresser and took the purse.
Not another thing was disturbed The
purse was presentation from Mr. Clar-
ence Fulton. and had Mr.. Fulton's com
pliments printed on the lapel. Among
other things in the purse were some
checks payable to Mr. Musselman and a
slip Of paper on which were written the
seven changes in the combination safe
belonging to the Odd Fellows lodge, of
which Mr.. Musselman has charge The
latter seems to give Joe more trouble
than anything else, for he cannot open
the safe, and the lodge funds and papers
are locked up in it. He says if the thief
will kindly send him the combination to
the safe he viii be very much obliged.
There is not the least suspicion of who
the thief might be

WIFE THREATENED HIM
Oscar Eastman's Matrimonial Expert
ence Told in Divorce Petit on.

Oscar Eastmans matrimonial expert
ence seems to have been short and full
of woe. On last August he was married,
happily, as the guests Of the wedding
would have said, and yesterday his attor-
neys filed petition for divorce for him
in the district court The petition is
short and to the point, but the allega-
tons are nevertheless forceful. The pc
titioner states that his wife, Leila, on
several occasions threatened him with
bodily harm, and that she had also
threatened to poison him. Notwith-
standingthe last allegation, Oscar con-
tinued to eat her victuals with the ut
most fearlessness and after the threats
of his wife failed to scare him away from
the household, he alleges that she her
self went away and he does not now
know where she Is. In consideration Of
all these allegations and the further de-
sertion by his wife, Mr.. Eastman asks
the court to grant him a divorce. His
attorneys are Sullivan & Seton.

WANT STATE CONVENTION
MOre Talk Of Securing It--Ben Eaton
AGREES 10 Raise the Cash.

Since the first mention Of the effort to
secure the Republican state convention
for Wichita was made through the Eagle
there seems to be a great agitation going
on. and everybody seems to be in favor
Of going after the convention. 1t is con-
sidered that Wichita never had better
chance to secure the convention than it
viii have this year. Mr.. Ben Eaton said
yesterday that If the city would send a
committee to secure the convention he
would take it upon himself to raise every
dollar that the city viii need to properly
entertain and pay the expenses Of the
convention when it gets here. II is
known that Wichita viii be able to put
up better entertainment for the guests
on this occasion than any other city IN
Kansas. and the help Of every patriotic
Wichitan viii doubtless soon be enlisted
in the work of securing the convention

MISSED HIS OPPORTUNITY.

Congressman Wilson missed his
opportunity in the session OF Con-
gress which has just adjourned
that is, his opportunity to serve the
State in the way of securing leglsla-
ton for her benefit, but, probably
all unconsciousIy and unintent1on-
ally, he has after all served Idaho
better in his contribution to the ut
ter and total annihilation of the Sill
yer Republican party in the. State.
Mr.. Wilson was elected to Congress
upon a platform which was ultra
Republican in its every plank ex,
cepting only the one that declared
in favor of free silver. 1t declared
in favor of protection, of reciprocity
of expansion. That platform MI
Wilson has, by his record in Con
gress, repudiated in every detail
Instead of being Republican in al
but silver, he has been strictly
Democratic. He has voted will

Mr.. Wilson has made clear tina
the object of the Silver Republican
leaders is not to engraft silver into
the Republican party principles
but to utterly destroy the Republl

been insisted that no improvement

that there was no other way except
for men to tear their lungs out in

says that "glass-blowing by ma

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

One characteristic of western
Democrats is that they will not
tolerate political boss. They feel
that the Governor during hissecond
term has overlooked or forgotten
his proper relation to his party and
to the State. That his office, a
public trust, has been used as a
private snap to promote his ambi-
ton to become a United States Sen
ator. Officers of the state and ben
efciaries of his appointing power
as governor have travelled over the
state almost constantly during the
last year and a half manipulating
the party machinery andpromoting
in a scandalous manner his sena-
torial boom. They realize that his
first nomination was more a politi-
cal accident than the Culm1nat1O1
Of favorable public sentiment, that
the second nomination was due in
great part to the political advan-
tages he possessed as governor,
which were unstintedly used.
They feel that he is using unfair
means to crafty his political am
bitions; that his methods are TN
democratic and calculated to destroy
the harmony and impair the
strength Of the Democratic party in
the state threatening to bring down
upon it defeat this fall. It is the
old, old story of overweening ambi'
ton and it's twin brother rule OF
ruin. The best friends of Governor
Steunenberg hoped for wiser judg
ment on his part and it is not ye'
too late to retrace his steps and show
the party that he has the mora
courage to do what is right though
his ambition be not gratifed.--lda
