Wichita is on the edge of the liveliest fall and
winter in its history. Already there is quickenlng
of values, and an added degree of industrial en-
deavor and commercial activity in evidence. With
in ninety days both packing houses viii be running
and increasing in prosperity they cannot escape
because. as the packing interests the world over
are now conceding the economic thing is to cut the
hog up nearest the place of his production. With
in ninety days the farmers Of this section will be
gathering one of the greatest corn yields IN the
states history Market indications promise that
whatever of surplus there is, will bring, together
with our enormous output Of hay and oats, high
prices in the near markets Of Texas, and Colorado

Here then is some reason for the fact that at

&c okLAHoMA poLlTIcAL SITUATION.

The major part of political activity in Oklahoma
is undeniably eyinced by the Republicans. So far
the Democrats have shown only formal degree of
opposition to the election of Republican Territorial
delegate.
Practically all the citizens Of Oklahoma want
statehood Immediately. There are people
who would be willing to wait for statehood in order
that the Indian Territory might be included in the
state. some because they prefer large state more
because by including the Indian Territory, there
would be greater chance for Democratic state.
OF these two elements opposing immediate state
hood ninety-nne per cent are Democratic
But seventy-fve per cent of the Democrats of
the territory favor immediate statehood. They do
not want 10 wait They can see no reason for wait
ing on the Indian Territory and the expiration
of its various treaty endorsements, when they
know that later the Indian Territory will be added,
piece at time. to Oklahoma state.
Consequently Mr.. Cross the Democratic candi-
date for Congress is unfortunate in not having a
candidacy, the success of which would appeal to
most of his own partisans. The bin giving Okla
bona statehood has passed the house and is
special order in December in the Senate. The Demo

that bill and delaying statehood. for the par
tisan satisfaction of voting for the at the head
of their ticket.
Mr. Cross. the Democratic candidate is quite pop
ular among the Democrats Of Oklahoma, and no
doubt personal triumph in other conditions and
at another time, might be gratifying to the great
body Of Oklahoma Democrats. but now the desire
for immediate statehood is everything and the vic
tory of a single individual in a partisan campaign
nothing
For this reason and because the Populist party
in the territory has disintegrated and greater
portion CT it come back into the Republican fold,
and because OF the activity and popularity of the
Republican candidate Mr.. Mcclure the Republican
majority in Oklahoma in November viii be one of the
notable features of the fall elections.

F.sm appearances Kansas is undergoing some

But that evolution appears to be upon us. The
only candidates for senator are the governor. now

The idea of promotion may be popular in some

THE GROWING OF THE KING.

The crowning of Edward and Alexandra at Lon
don yesterday was shorn OF much ceremony by the
knife of the surgeon but nevertheless it happy
and notable event. That the original program of
magnifcence had to be abandoned cause for
no small measure of sorrow, hut who knows whether
the collapse of the King in June, the of
arranged festival having no precedent in history,
was not blessing in disguise Edward is much
of a King today as he would have been had the
original program been carried out; and it is not
difficult to conceive that he is more popular. His
narrow escape from death. and the pathetic cir
cumstances of his Sickness had influence upon
the human heart which has enabled all to see
the fine qualities OF Edward. Those qualities have
shone brighter from the sick room than they could
possibly have shown under the glare of ten
thousand bonfres. Sir Frederick Reeves, with his
surgeons knife, made Edward a nobler character
in the estimation of the world, than could the Arch
bishop of Canterbury with all the sacred oil from
the North Sea to the uttermost frontier of India.
No herald could by proclamation, bind the hearts
of his subjects closer to him than the bulletin
writer Of the sick room The eoquence of all the
returning special ambassadors of Kings Emperors,
and republics could have given their nations and
people more enlightened knowledge of the brighter
side of his character than did the reporter anda
respondents at the palace when gloom hung heaviest
over it. England thought it wanted pomp and cere-
mony in introducing its newly crowned King to the
family of nations the history of fortytwo days
proves that pity has greater influence than pomp
in arousing the sentiment of knsbp and friendship
among the human family.
The Eagle in common with a great many other
journals and people, has better and higher esti-
mate of Edward today than it was possible to have
had he remained in health pass through the gaudy
show embraced in the first coronation program.
Heretofore only the wild oats that he had
scattered but since happily, we have learned more
of the man-we have seen through the tears of his
subjects who closer to him the better side of
crown worn by his mother and the throne exalted
by her sixty-four years of royal virtue and benef-
cence
What will be the future of the King? It is not
expected that he will be the greatest sovereign Of
his house-for he cannot surpass the standard set
up by his motherbut if he lives long enough under
the burden of it is very likely that he will
go down in history the greatest of the who
bore his namenot in every detail but in the aggre
gate achievements of his reign. He gives promise
of ruling his subjects would have him rule and
that is than history say for many English
Kings-especially of his England will not
become a greater nation under his rule-for England
tige during the years that remain for him; and,
the whole it will prosper-as much nation
prosper with canker creeping towards its vtals-
under his mild, nonaggressive and unambitious
reign.

DEED OF AN INSANE MAN.
Kills or Wounds Several Persons and
Suicides.

Kills or Wounds Several Persons and
Suicides.
Lapeer, Mich, Dec. 17.-John Best,
aged twenty-eight, single, a man of
.d%isordered mind, rose from his bed
shortly after i a. M. and cut Jasper
Clegg's head nearly off with a razor,
dangerously wounded his own mother,
wounded his sister and finished by
shooting himself to death. Clegg, who
was sixty years of age, boarded at the
Best home. Best was committed to
the insane asylum about a year ago,
but six months later was discharged
as cured.
It is thought Best first attacked
Clegg with a azo before the old man
awoke. The razor was broken by
striking a bone in Clegg's neck. The
murderer then evidently returned to
his own room and to bed. The bed
ding in his room is covered with blood,
At a later hour he again arose and
went to the room of his mother, strik
ing her q blow with the damaged ra
zor. The blow fell short, though hel
chin was nearly cut of. She sprans
out of bed, grappled with the crazy
man and made her way to the door
She then broke away from him ant
ran to a neighbours. where she tele
phoned for the sheriff. When hi
mother fled from the house Best in
vaded his sisters sleeping room. Tn
girl lay quietly in bed and, after b,
had slashed her across the cheek witt
the razor, Best desisted; probably BIZ
lieving that he had killed her.
WhensBest heard Sheriff Meyers er
tering the house he appeared with q X
