the work in that time. He said that
prior to that time nothing had been said
in regard to the number of days in which
the work was to be finished.
Judge Wilson in his decision said that
when Pirtle filed the bids with the board
he should have stated the fewest number
of days in which he could have finished
the work, as mentioned in the boards
published notice, but this he neglected to
do. He also found that the board could
have turned down the bids and refused
to accept them for that reason, but they
did not do so. Instead, they accepted
the bids and the forfeit and then made
their demands for the time. Therefore.
he deemed that the contractor had the
right to give UP the contract and was
entitled to recover the forfeit money.

GRAIN COMPANY
INVESTS $4,000
Van Dusen-Harrington Firm
Buys 10 Elevators
OFFICES WILL BE HERE
General Manager Expected to
Arrive Today.
OFFICES WILL BE HERE

As further evidence that Wichita is
rapidly gaining a reputation as a grain
| center. the Van Dusen-H Harrington Grain
company, of Minneapolis, Mimi, will
open general Offices here within few
days and a big business will be trans
acted through Wichita by the concern.
Ill. a. Wernli. who is connected with
the compa ~, has been in this city for
the past several weeks buying up ele-
vators. in which the grain handled by
the company will be housed until sold.
Yesterday he purchased two elevators
making total of sixteen that he has
bought, in all, covering an outlay of
$4,000. That the company intends doing
d big business is evinced by the amount
of capital already invested.
The elevators purchased by Mr.. Werni
are all situated in southern Kansas and
Oklahoma along the Rock Island Some
were owned by Wichita people, while
others were purchased from men who
have been personally conducting such.
At each of the elevators bought by
this company force of men will be en-
ployed. The business done at all will be
regulated by the officers in charge of the
general offices at Wichita. Including the
sixteen recently purchased, this company
now owns elevators in all parts of the
United States TO the number OF 450.
c. W. Lonsda1e, who will be general
manager of the offices and business here,
is expected to arrive in the city with his
family this morning. He comes from
Minneapolis.
According 10 Mr.. Wernli, the opening
of offices here and buying of elevators
in southern Kansas and Oklahoma means
that competition in this line of business
will be greater and, like any other line
of business where competition is good
prices will be better.

The great democratic con-

The great democratic con-
vention is over. For months,
the conservative leaders of
the party have exerted
every effort to create harmo-
ny and bring about a reunited
party, on a safe and sound
platform, and their work has
been we'll done. In order to
accomplish this end, conces-
sions were necessary. Many
of the delegates held conflict
ing views upon public ques-
tions and manfully contend
ed for them in committee,
claiming that the insertion of
certain planks would win or
lose certain states. For six
teen hours the committee on
resolutions, composed of the
party's ablest men, delibera-
ted over these important mat
tiers, and when the platform
was finally presented to the
convention it was unanimous
ly adopted. Its provisions
should be satisfactory to
every democrat who desires
party success. There is
nothing to be gained by
claiming that the gold ele-
ment or the silver element
dictated the platform. Let
that pass; bury all unpleas-
ant recollections of former
differences; stand shoulder to
shoulder and bend every eff
fort to put Roosevelt out of
the White House and his
party out of power. |

LITTLETON'S SPEECH.

In nominating Judge Parker,

we'll worth reading. The BULLETIN

"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Conventions:
owe do not expect here that
stupid peace which smells of chloro-
form. We do not wish that unc-
tuous unanimity which springs
from the unconficting emotions of
a solitary man. We would not have
our harmony in a single harness.
We, too, love the stir of strenuous
life; but We believe in equal siren
uousness for all and special siren
uousness for none. We do not
derive our power from the seats
from the mighty, but from the souls
of the humble. We do not ask for
lnane agreement springing from
faithless fire, but rather outbursts
of dispersion issuing from robust
freedom. We are not In executive
session, but rather in the committee
of the whole. We were sent

nations of the earth, building their
kingdom in the hearts of men and
gathering the harvest of genius and
toll; in which reason struck from
the hand of force the sword of
hate and plucked from the heart of
war the germ of greed; in which
conscience smote the thoughts of
wrong and filed the mind with mer-
cy's sweet restraint; in which power
grew in the human brain, but re-
fused the shelter of a glittering
crown; in which the people of all
lands and tongues, awakened TO
hope by the inspiration OF our ex-
ample, followed with the march of
years the luminous pathway leading
to destiny beyond the reach of
vision and within the providence of
God. In this spirit New York
