GREAT BEND ooMMERo1AL CLUB.
A Permanent Organization With Commo-
; dious and Comfortable Quarters.

a 4oIWouout OIShluzdC1Ou W1tu VOAAuV
> dious and Comfortable Quarters.
An organization such as this
city has long needed has now
been effected and in a week or
ten days will have it's rooms
opened and be ready for the va
rious duties it can successfully
look after.
The club membership is at
present 65 and the officers are:
President, E. r. Moses; Vice
President, VIM. Osmond; Secre-
tary, F. Vernon Russell; Treas
urer, Louis Zutavern. There is
a board of directors, of seven
members who are elected annual
ly, who hold a general super
vision over the club affairs.
New members are elected by vote
of the club. Three or more mega
tive votes are required to reject
an application.
The constitution provides that
no intoxicating liquors shall be
taken into the club rooms at
any time or under any circum-
stances, and that no gambling
shall be permitted.
A suit of four rooms, on the
ground floor Of the Morrison
house, has been leased for a
term of five years. Connection
between these rooms and the
rest of the building has been
bricked up, and the club rooms
are entirely seperate from the
hotel proper. In addition to
this, the owners of the building
have bound themselves to per-
NIT no immoral or unlawful
characters in. the rest of the
building.
The rooms will be pleasant
and comfortable. The front or
south room, will be fitted up as
a reading room with tables,
chairs, couches etc. and will be
kept supplied with all the best
periodicals and daily papers.
The next room to the north will
be the dressing, or cloak room;
the third room a card room, and
the fourth or north room bill
lard room.
Most Of the furniture and fix
lures is already here, and the
rooms will be opened to the
members in about a week.
Frank Patterson will have charge
as ,janitor and general superin-
tendent, at 500 month with
the privilege OF keeping a cigar
stand in the billiard room.
Aside from the social features
Of the club, it's work in the mat
ter of promoting public enter
prise, of conserving public
thought and action for the good
of Great Bend and Barton cOun-
ty will be of great value We
earnestly hope that there will
be strict observance of all the
rules, and that the young men
of the city will find there a well
come place to spend their leisure
hours.

The people will now see wheth-
er or not trusts and combina-
tions will thrive under four more
years of Mckinley. We earnest
ly hope that a sense OF right and
justice, that a feeling OF true
Americanism and loyalty to the
constitution will prompt the
president and his party to throt-
tie avarice and corruption and
curtail the power Of organized
wealth to rob disorganized labor
and industry. But when we
realize that only by assistance
Of the trusts, in money and in
fuence, was the present admins
tration kept in power it is more
than likely that such influences
will dominate legislation for the
next four years.

The city was full OF people last Sat-
urday, to get the latest returns And
we venture the assertion that demo.
Gratis and populists expressed more
enthusiasm over the success in Barton
county than the republicans did over
their success in state aud nation. The
latter fear they have made serious
mistakes in turning the state and na~
tion over to the trusts and money fn>
terests; the latter KNOW they made no
mistakes chen they turned the county
and legislative offices over to the people,
We therefore cannot blame republi>
cans who THINK for their lack of en-.
thusiasm.

The recent election has de-
monstrated beyond question
that the anti-republican vote in
this county is near 400 more
than the republican vote. If
party lines are closely drawn no
republican can be elected in Bar
ton county. This is not saying
that party lines should always
be closely drawn. Sometimes
unfit men are placed in nomi-
nation; and such should be de-
feated, no matter on what ticket
they are named. But this year,
all the county candidates on the
democratic ticket were superior
in qualifications to their oppo-
nents.

A BREACH Of FAITH
ENCOUNTER BETWEEN
TESLA AND AYRES
An Advertiser Writer Charged by In
dependents Proprietor with VIC
lating Confidence Retorts
with Threats Of Violence.

"F. J. Tesla, proprietor of the Inde-
pendent, states that he has been select
ed by the Home Rule Party to run for
the Senate. Tesla will certainly be a
big man in his party and can make a
showing. The announcement that he
is the Independents choice for the up
per house came from Testas own lips.
and was backed with the assertion that
he was q sure winner"
The foregoing Is one of the political
notes in this mornings Advertiser. Mr.
Tesla was met at the post Office by a
Bulletin reporter, who asked him II
the statement was authentic. He re-
piled that he had heard of it but had
not read the item. The statement at
tributed to him, however, was not
made for publication. He had joshed
with the Advertiser reporter as to his
possible candidacy, just as the present
interviewer had known him to do when
visiting the Bulletin editorial room.
H. W. Asies, u spdCt WIittE OH the
Advertiser. came along while Mr.. Tesla
was examining his lock box. He &C.
costed Mr.. Tesla, who repulsed him
with the remark:
you have broken faith with me and
will have nothing more to do with
you"
Mr.. Ayres retorted: "If you say /
broke faith with you, I'll smash your
face"
Mr.. Tesla stepped quickly up to his
fiery accoster and not only dared him
to smash his face. but told him he
would reduce him to mess of English
mincemeat II he ventured to carry out
his threat. You start in" was Mr..
Testa's defiance.
Mr.. Ayres moved away few steps
and said, you are too old and too
fat"
Mr.. Tesla again denounced his an
tagoHst for breach OF confidence and,
as they walked off in opposite ways,
warned him not to cross his path again.

OPPOSED TO INrIPaND.! cE.

Havana, Sept. 7. - Senior Lanuza,
former secretary of justice, who was
recently asked to represent the repub-
lican party OF Cienfuegos In the forth
coming constitutional convention, pub
lished today private letter written
last April, in which he gives his reason
for not joining the republicans. He
takes this step in order to explain his
exact position:
Il do not join the republican party
because | do not agree with the two
principal ideas Of that party, namely:
The immediate cessation OF interven-
ton and the immediate Access
sion OF absolute independence. II
intervention were to cease before Cuba
had become well established upon a
sound economic basis, then dark days
would be in store for us. After the re-
public is established the United States
should maintain for some time inter,
national relations with Cuba, especially
with reference to Cuba's dealings with
other countries, and should also have
the right of approving or disapprovinl
Cuban loans above certain amount.
Moreover, the American government
should uphold Cuba before the world
Indeed, If the United States were moi
to do these things the prospects would
be gloomy. What Is needed is franz
ayowal from Washington that the Unit
ed States will guarantee sound and eff
fcient government in Cuba. This II
