DANCE WAS SUCCESS.
Country Club May Be Represented in
Transmississippi Tournament.

Secretary Hull of the Wichita Country
club said yesterday, The dance that
was given at the club house last even
ing was one of the most successful ever
given by the country club. l believe that
there were fully 300 people present and
they were mainly members and their
families. Every one seemed to be having
a great time"
The evening was the most favora Bile
for dancing of any, so far this summer
1t was cool enough for dancing and
there was not much wind
The Country club is planning to send
team of five to the Third Annual
Championship Tournament of the Trans
Mississippi Golf associa ton to be held
at Des Moines, Iowa, on the links of the
University and Waveland Golf club. Sep
TENDER 8, 9, 10, II and r. The team OF
five from this city will compete in the
contest for the Inter-Club championship,
and the individual players will most like
ly enter some of the other events. AS
this will be their first time it is not ex-
pected that the team will bring home
all the prizes with them but it is certain
that they will make a good showing and
that the club will be benefited by send
ing the players 10 this tournament. All
of the best clubs in the west Will be re-
presented and those who attend will
have an opportunity to witness the game
as it is played by members of other
clubs and this will tend to develop a
broader and more resourceful style of
play.
When the new club house is completed
this city will have one of the incest
country clubs in the west and Secretary
Hull says that one object in sending the
team TO this tournament is that in the
course of few years they expect to
try and bring this annual meeting here
With the new club house and the green's
that the club now has he is confident
that the annual tournament could be
handled in a creditable manner by the
golfers of this city.

MEDICINE CONTAINED POISON
Old Coiored Woman Narrowly Es
caped Death.

Tennessee wilkins, an old colored
woman. who lives in the first house
south of the Carey hotel, and who does
laundry work. had a narrow escape from
death by poisoning night before last. She
took some medicine that she had received
from coIored herb doctor. which proved
to have a poisonous effect Soon after
she took the medicine she became deathiy
sick and when the two doctors that
were summoned arrived. she was almost
lifeless.
At first there seemed to be no hope for
the old colored lady, as the poison had
acted very quickly, and its victim was
almost unconscious and lay like dead
person For several hours the doctors
worked with her with antidotes and with
a stomach pump before the acton Of the
poison was stopped. Had they arrived
only a few moments later, the doctors
say that it would have been impossible
TO have saved Mrs. wilkins life They
regard her escape as very narrow.
The aged woman has suffered at times
from rheumatism and. although at the
time she was not troubled with it, she
was easily persuaded by the herb doctor
to take his remedy, which he explained
was his own discovery and which was
a sure and quick cure for rheumatism
The medicine has not been analyzed yet,
but il is certain that il was this that
came near resulting in the colored wo-
mans death. The two doctors who at
tended her say they are confident that
there is some poisonous herb in the rheu-
matisnl cure. The colored man who sold
Mrs. Wilkins the medicine is not legal
lied doctor, and Mrs wilkins does not
know his name, although he lives some
where in the north part of town, she
says. The family searched for him a
little yesterday, but were unable to locate
him. An effort will he made to find him
today. and he will have TO explain
Members of Mrs. Wilkins family said
last night that they did not believe that
the herb doctor sold the medicine to
Mrs. Wilkins with intentions of poison
ing her. They are of the opinion that
he made mistake when gathering his
herbs, and that he was ignorant of the
presence of the poison. AS he had no
state certificate. however, unless he can
explain matters satisfactorily, it may go
rather hard with him.
Mrs. Wilkins is out of danger now, but
is still very sick woman. Her throat
and mouth are sore and she is very
weak She is confined to her bed and will
not completely recover for several days.

TOOK A LONG WALK.
Man 1903 Years Old Walked From Poor
Farm to City.

Hans Saunders, the old colored man
who was taken to the poor farm two
weeks ago, disappeared from the farm
some time Tuesday evening and was
found eating his dinner in a restaurant.
yesterday afternoon. He is 100 years old
and when taken to the poor farm was
unable to walk and the county paid g
to get him to the farm in the ambu-
lance. but the old fellow has recovered
so that he could walk five miles to this
city and felt none the worse for the trip.
There was a whole lot of excitement at
the farm yesterday when it was found
that the Oldest man had walked away.
and the superintendent Immediately
started on a search for him. They could
not locate the old man until a policeman
saw him eating in the restaurant. The
poor commissioner was notified and he
will take Hans back to the farm this
morning in his buggy instead of in an
ambulance.
Hans Saunders said that he was very
well satisfied with the surroundings at
the farm and had no reason for run
ming away except that he wanted TO come
10 town. He started early in the even
ing and walked the greater part of the
distance that night.

HAD A GOOD TIME.
w. r. c. Gave Picnic in Riverside
Park Yesterday.

Park Yesterday.
The Womans Relief Corps gave a pic
mic yesterday evening from to o'clock
at North Riverside park. 1t had better
be termed a banquet, for the chief factor
OF the entertainment was to eat The
ladies utilized the band stand and rows
of double seats for tables. and such a
spread is rarely excelled. There seemed
TO be all the variety Of good things that
could be found il tie markets and the
housewives lsrder. They fed approxi-
mstely $50 in sumptuous style.
There was no regular order to govern
the occasion but a real old fashioned
good time. Social chat and intercourse
was the feature. One innovation in this
order was singing several patriotic songs
by several gentlemen. led by Rev. Har-
mon. The several ex-soldiers' organiza-
tons OF the city were invited and all
were represented and treated as honored
guests. II was one Of the most enjoyable
affairs Of the season and the tempera-
ture was most delightful. All present
enjoyed and appreciated the courtesy OF
the ladies Of the Corps who more than
sustained their reputation as enter
tainers.
These functions given by the auxiliary
orders OF ex-soldiers have good effect
in bringing together those who have
stood long isolated from social interviews
one with another, and Il is treat 70 re-
count incidents and "reminiscences Of the
DAYS of the great war. And on almost
all these occasions there are comrades
and their wives who find delight IN trac-
ing the lives Of former friends and com
rades who long since had almost passed
from memory. These are like family re-
unions and the work 81 the Uoman's Re

There Is an old sdage that "God
hates a Coward; he neves was q true
Democratl" The fact that Judge
Critz permitted a mau to slap his face
first on one side and then on the other
in the legislative hall in the presence
of many members of that body with
out resisting the insult, and sneaked
away duckiDg his head in the fear
that he was probably in further dan
ger, is not such q recommendation as
would commend him to the people Of
this or any other state for Governor.
OF all the places that are filled by the
popular votes Of the people there is
none where brave, patriotic gentle
man is as essential as in the executive
mansion. If q man is too coward
ly to resent such an insult as that of
being slapped in the face, he il not
made Of the proper material to with
stand the assaults that must be made
upon him from time to time in the
Office OF governor. Imagine Edgar
Wilson marching into the presence of

that he do this or that here and nowI

HERE We ARE AoAIMI

For the beneftO of the readers Of the
MEssENGER, We clip the following, and
lie according to the Baltimore Sun that
tie present radical editor OF the old
and conservative New York Evening
Post-the paper that Horace White
edited-nwas secretary CT commit
tee orgaLizsd for the purpose Of aid
ing the John Brown movement, ana
that be testified before a committee Of
the United States senate that 8 large
part of the mOHey raised by bis COM
mittee was expended in the purchase
OF arms to be placed in the hands OF
the negro slaves in the South and to
be used against the whites. This man
who raves 90 loudly about mob murder
and the enforcement Of the law was
rampant advocate Of murder and an
archy and a violatoE OF the laws Of the
country. His connection with the
John Brown movement, which termi-
mated With the hanging Of the fanatic
at Harper's Ferry, explains bis ardent
championship Of negro criminals"
II true, says the Mobile Register,
there is q point to be insisted upon
This man would have the Law enforced
with utmost severity, and would ap-
prove the sight Of the mob ''shot down
like the wild beasts they are" These
are his own words. The law is the
whole thing with him, now. In 1882
however, II he was a supporter Of old
John Brown, as the sun says be was,
he was an active member OF the mob,
bent upon q lynching expedition, in
full and knowing violation Of the Law.
Has he repented Of that, and hes he
become 3 jealous proselyte Of the new
dispensation OF law7
A man is entitled to his opinion; but
it Is indeed q misfortune that the erst.
while wise and healthful Evening Post
should have fallen into bad hands
not bed for the South, especially, for
the South can stand criticism, but bed
I for concord and brothsrly feeling that
Is the cement OF the republic; and bad
indeed, for journalism, which has 90
long pointed to the Post as lie ohiofsst
ornament.
