observer whom the Journal favors
for county and state Offices. The
local correspondents have caught
the spirit of the master and are
booming the Journal candidates

National Convention convenes in

be necessary, since the present adj

ration of independence under foot,
while trying to foster and establish
imperialism on our own country in

The Journal tries to make out
that r. S. Hollis calls THE ARGUS
down on declaring that his with
drawal from the Sheriffalty race was
In the interest of ]. A. Lenhart, but
it is true nevertheless and we stick
to what we said. We are willing to
take Col. Hollis word for it that he
was in no deal to that affect, but all
the same his being out of the race
will help Lenhart more than any
other candidate. We can give Mr..
Hollis the names of a number of
Republicans who openly declared it
the result of deal of some kind,
and so he need not think that the
matter originated with The ARGUS,
but it came to us entirely from his
own side of the house.

The English are at last getting a
move on them in South Africa and
gaining some victories. General
Cronje was captured after a des-
perate struggle, lasting ten days,
in which he held at bay so, 900
troops, under the ablest British
generals, composing the flower OF
the army. Cronje only had be-
tween three and four thousand men
and they were intrenched in river
basin and were finally compelled to
give up, owing to the dead and de-
caying soldiers and animals of his
command, as the British generals
refused to allow him to bury them.

Ladysmith has at last been re-
lieved by the British troops and
the Beers driven off. The relief
did not come day too soon, as the
garrison was entirely exhausted and
broken down, by sickness, starva-
ton and ceaseless vigilance. Kim
berly has also been relieved, but
these victories of the British have
been secured at a price that staggers
humanity, as Uncle Paul Kruger
said in the beginning. There has
been great rejoicing and jollifcation
in England over these victories, but
the people were very hard up for a
victory.

1t is painful to observe how the
Journal has dashed itself into a
fierce lion and set up a roar against
The ARGUS for offering it neighbor-
ly advise. 1t was easy to say with
FEASIBILITY which appeared ire
sistible that THE ARGUS was en-
deayoring to foment strife within
the ranks of the Republican party,
while the facts warrant the belief
among the unprejudiced that it was
acting in the capacity of peacemaker
and using its best efforts to create
harmony among the brethren of the
Republican faith.

LEON LEWIS COMING.
Famous Author to "Make Hero" of
Wichita Man.

Wichita, June 16.-Leon Lewis, the
well known novelist, who has been the
active writer of stories for the last 40
years, which have been read by every
boy and girl for years past, has written
to his friends in this city that he will
soon arrive in Wichita for a month s
visit. He will come primarily to talk
with and visit with William Mathew
son, of this city.
A year or two ago, Mr. Lewis. who
was in the early days a captain in the
regular army and major in the vol
unteer service of the war of the rebel
lion. told his Wichita friend that he
had been reading a description of the
killing of large buffalo at the stock
yards of this city by William Mathew
son, and that he read the article from
one of the Wichita daily papers. He
also stated that he had known William
Mathewson on the plains. and that Will
liam Mathewson was sthe greatest buff
falo hunter on the Drairies.
Major Lewis designs to make a serial
story and in this story he will make
William MathewsOn the hero, as the
original Buffalo Bill.
Mr.. Lewis relates that right after the
war Ned Buntline, the well known nov
elist and himself and Harriet Lewis.
his wife, since deceased, wrote a great
number of stories for the New York
Ledger and New York Weekly, making
William F. Cody the hero of same. This
made the fame and name of William
F. Cody as Buffalo Bill.
About that time Leon Lewis and his
wife, Harriet Lewis, signed a contract
to write go stories each for the New
Y ork Ledger, receiving as pay therefor
the sum of $4,000 per story; this CON
| tract they killed.
Since that time Harriet Lewis has
died Ned Buntline is dead, and the
stories which they wrote have been re-
| produced and reprinted in dime novels.
/ and Mr.. Lewis says that he will now
write the greatest story Of his life, maxi
/ ing William Mathewson the hero and
! laying the plot in western Kansas.
Leon Lewis is now a serial story
writer on the New York Journal.

WRECKED IN A GALE.
British Steamer Lost With Many
Lives-other Australian Events.

British Steamer Lost With Many
Lives-other Australian Events.
Vancouver, B. c., June 16.-The
steamer WarrimOo from Sydney, n. s.
W., today brings news of the wreck on
the Victorian coast of British ship
Sierra Nevada, 400 tons. Thirty-three
lives were lost, including the skipper,
Captain Scott OF the crew of %, only
five reached shore, and one of the quin-
tet afterward died from exposure and
Injuries. The disaster occurred on a
very dark night, June 10, during roar
ing gale. The ship dashed herself to
pieces on a rock near Port Phillips
Head. The suddenness and devastat-
ing character of the disaster was shown
in the fact that barely piece of the
vessel was to be found In the raging sea
a few hours after striking the rock. The
vessel was crushed and smashed like
an eggshell.
A parliamentary commission sent to
investigate the conditions in the drought
stricken west of Australia has found a
deplorable condition of affairs. AS a
result of long dry season, there has
been a tremendous destruction of sheep,
twenty thousand perishing in a single
season. Ruin is staring the unfortunate
settlers in the face. An opposite con-
t1ition has prevailed in Gipsland, where
the Buchan river is flooded, the water
being higher than at any time for II
years The water has caused great
damage. The Tambe Flats have been
flooded crops washed away, cattle
drowned and roads and bridges destroy
ed The people living on the flats were
all rescued, but two men were up a tree
for seventeen hours waiting for boat.
Passengers on the Warrimoo state
that the plague is abating throughout
Australia, but the Sydney papers chron-
icle an average of five new cases daily,
with no diminution of the percentages
of deaths.
Genuine bubonic plague is reported
/ 70 have broken out in Melbourne despite
/ vehement denials from that city. The
! board of health discovered four IN
