EATHTOATION MEETING- AT 0EAWP0ED GBAITD. THE A Large Crowd, Enthusiastic Meeting With. Many Speeches and a Sort of an Intellectual "Toot." The Republican ratification meeting last night at the Crawford over the action of the Dodge City congressional convention was a success complete. The attendance was large and the speeches short and many. The enthusiasm was such as would naturally be expected over the nomination of CoL Hallowell. The Cayote club of Lamed, with its original campaign music, was a drawing and retaining card, being a happy feature of the occasion. The Board of Trade band gave the first music of the fall campaign on the streets about 8 o'clock. The people commenced to go in the direction of the opera house. The crowd was a large and composed of the leading people of the city. When Col. Hallowell arrived they made the fact known by cheers. Mr. Joe Henley, chair man of the Republican connty central com mittee appeared on ?he stage accompanied by Col. Hallowell, the Hon. W. C. Ed wards, of Larned; James Kelly, of Pratt; Geo. Findley, of Topeka; James H. Reed er, of Hays City; Judge Frank Price, of Ashland; Theo. Botkin, Col. 31. 31. Mur dock, Judge H. C. Sluss, Judge T. B. Wall, the Hon. E. B. Allen. They were greeted with applause, and 3Ir. Henley an nounced the meeting was to ratify the nomination of their fellow citizen, Col. Hal lowell. It afforded great pleasure to state the fact of the nomination of Col. Hallo well as the standard bearer of the Repu lican party in the Seventh congressional district. He introduced Col. 31. 31. 3Iur dock as chairman of the meeting, who was received with enthusiastic cheers. In accepting the position and assuming the duties he said: These are hard times. It seems almost impossible for the people by individual ef fort to keep their heads above the waves, consequently the times are perplexing for political parties and politicians. But ev ery time we think of that Dodge City platform we have to smile. It is like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. It covers and protects everything, with au addenda or proviso or repeating section, which bears about the same relation to the paltform that the declaration of independ ence does to the constitution of the United States, covering all future contingencies. If the Democrats plume themselves on any particular policy or principle vou will find it in that platform. If the Greenbacker wants fiat money you will find it in that platform. If the Alliance desires one tiling more than another yon will find it iu that platform. If the Prohibitionists need bracing up the brace is here, and if the resubmissionists demand a chance on on tho sly behold the chance is here, and the best thing about it is that Wichita has a candidate on that platform and we are here tonight to endose the candidate and to ratify the satisfactory work of the men who compiled such a wonderful declara tion of principle." The Coyote club, of Larned, was an nounced and received with cheers. They had lines that had something about "Hal lelujah, Glory in My Soul." Tho crowd wanted more of it and called enthusias firvtllv. Thev returned, favoriiur tho audience with something moiv in the same line. The Hon. W. C. Edwards was announced the first speaker of the evening. He said it would seem unfair to beat him in the convention, mako him one of the choir and preach his own funeral. However, he was glad to be present ana see such a largo crowd. It showed that the work of tho Sedgwick delegation and others from the county had met the approval of the peo ple. He believed that the result would meet the approval of tho district. There was no candidate that could so well represent the district as Jim Hal lowell. When Colonel Hallowell U in con gress it would not take two years for him to be a leader. His name alone would al most take him through the campaign. The present opponent had gono on record against service pensions, and Hallowell had been for service pensions for twelve years. The soldiers would vote for him and work for him. 3Ir. Edwards said each one of the candi dates wanted the nomination and had worked for it, but tho twenty-second bal lot brought a destructive storm. The re sult fixed Colonel Hallowell for ten or fif teen years and now he was out of the way. The coming election would show many thousand majority for him. He had been a leading public man in Kansas for over twenty years and well known by all. The speakerexpressed the hope that Sedgwick county would show a big vote for the can didate. He pledged tho western part of the district for a big vote. Judge Theodore Botkin was introduced and said he had come to sing in bass. Ho was very hoarse as a result of attending thoconvention.He told the head light story, the lantern having struck seven or eight of the candidates who had disappeared. The speaker had intended to sing, but t'Billy Edwards" had decided to sing, and that dismissed him. He would, however, say that western Kansas would show a big vote for Jim Hallowell. His name was magnetic throughout the district. Tho speaker had known him for twenty years, and ho was positive he would make a good congressman. The song, "Who Am the Man, Colonel Hallowell," created prolonged applause and tho crowd insisted on some more mu sic, which was furnished. The Hon. James II. Reeder was intro duced, who said he was a citizen of an other district but no one had rejoiced more than himselt over tho nomination. The people had rejoiced when they read the papers during the day. While the Seventh "district" was a empire, but not large enough to contain all the friouds of Colo nel Hallowell. He had them all over Kansas and far beyond tho state line. The speaker had heard Colonel Hallowell speak over twenty years ago. The times were calling for many changes and many new questions coming up. The nominee was able to take hold of the situ ation and the new conditions. Judge Frank Price, of Ashland, being presented .id that ever since ho had lived in Kansas he had watched Wichita and he had always observed that when Wichita reached out for anything it carne. Rail raids came, packinghouses and car works. About three months ago Wichita reached out for a congressman. About three days ago the speaker had decided that Wichita would get tho congressman. While some had characterized the meet ing as a funeral, but he could not see any mourners. It was a time for rejoicing. A loyal friend, gallant gentleman and charity as broad as the prairie of Kansas. In the classic language of Judge Reed, his very name was a synonym, of good cheer and success. His personal friends over tho district many and all could re joice in the nomination. His nomination meant success to the party. The victory uotwou until the battle over and the white flag appeared. The Coyote club appeared with the new song. "Mary's Lamb." The Hon. Thomas Haun being presented said his wife's last words were that he should never come home until Billy Ed wards was nominated. He could not go home as Billy Edwards had not been nominated and he would have to say away f or two yearns. He would, however, try and influence his wife to let him return. The speaker had known W. C. Edwards for twelve yeara and his personal relations were such that he had done all he could for him in the convention. The speaker had something to say of the various candidates recalling something of personal instances and his tory. Coming down to the congressional convention he recalled Ed Sample's way of announcing Barber county's four votes for Hallowell. It was a sort of a "sample" an nouncement that brought Hallowell out victor. 31. Geo. Finlay was presented and said he did not know he was a speaker until he found out he was on the program. He had been a delegate at large at the Dodge City convention. He had long known CoL Hal lowell and he was such a man as would lead the Republican party to victory in the coming contest. The- people of the district would thoroughly know him be fore election day. After another song by the club Judge Sluss was received with cheers and said it was no time to reason but time for a sort of a "toot." He had not known him as long as some of the "busted" fellows. He had heard of him before he reached the state but did not meet him for some years. The speaker said it was one of proudest acts of his life to have supported Jim Hallowell at the Dodge City convention. He recalled some of Colonel Hallowell's record in the army. It was no wonder that the old fellows, the fellows who wear the blue loved Colonel HallowelL His characteristics in early life and through life called for the Dodge City victory. The speaker thought there was no doubt about his election. Judge Wall recalled that a few weeks ago he had presided over a county conven tion which selected a strong delegation for Hallowell. The work assigned the delega tion was accomplished and every citizen in Sedgwick county was glad of it. He had earned it by over forty battles, and earned it by over twenty years in Kansas, and he would be supported with enthusi asm. He would faithfully discharge all duties entrusted to him. He would soon be recognized as one of the strongest men in the Kansas delegation. The speaker warmly congratulated the Republicans on the work of the convention. Senator O. H. Bentleysaid, "you can bet your life I am for Jim Hallowell." This was received wifti cheers. The colonel had worked hard for Wichita in 'S3 when Sen ator Bentley was a candidate. Now it was time to return favors and he proposed to do it. Col. Hallowell was received with great applause; waiving of handkerchiefs, hats and looked a little like the Dodge City con vention on the home stretch. He said it was his time to bear testimony for for favors, received by the Sedgwick people. He had started in to win. The twenty delegates and twenty alternates had worked for him earnestly andthe "contingent" had also been valuable. The Sedgwick delegation, alternates and "con tingent" had supported him as loyally as did the Napoleon guards their leaders. The nominating speech of Judge Reed had oeen most thoroughly complimented and very soon the convention concluded that Sedgwick had come after the con gressman. He had been supported by many outside the county warm friends to whom he desires to return sincere thanks. The convention bad provided a platform that was the shrill bugle notes of western Republicans and the result would be that the party would win in thecoming contest. He extended thanks for the earnest work in his support by his many friends in Sedgwick and elsewhere. HUMANE SOCIETY, The directory of the Humane society met yesterday afternoon in Dr. Stevenson's of fice in regular monthly session. Tho min utes of tho last meeting being disposed of the regular order of business was at once taken up. Under the head of communica tions 3Irs. Foster read a letter from the Beloit home stating, in effect, that that institution would not be in a position to assist the Humane society beforo September, at soonest. The letter was couched in kind and gener ous language with a sincere regret that the delay was unavoidable. Several other communications were also read of more or less interest to the work. The agents' re port was then read, showing that the cases that had actually been handled of the society were a good months' work, to say nothing of tho hundred cases in vestigated in which no action was necessary. Tho report of the com mitter on the industrial home was then in order and was awaited with much anxiety but 3rr. Douglas tho chairman was unablo to report and this very important part of the meeting had to layover. The matter was discussed how ever in an informal way as follows: The Humane society has made rapid strides in its work and has reached that point where an industrial school is an absolute neces sity to the prosecution of the most impor tant part of its duties. Before tho society was fully organized and the members were in ignorance , of the boys and girls that were daily bending their steps to destruction, they were cer tainly less responsible than now. Now, however, they know of cases every day that call for an industrial home and at present are compelled to sit with folded hands and eyes wide open, powerless to rescue these waifs of humanity from a river of vice. Something mut bo done but tho problem is too hard to answer in a breath. The hospitals had better be closed and the sick and afflicted allowed to pass without assistance into tho presence of an all merciful 3Iaker rather than a large proportion of the youth, beau ty, brain and young womanly nature of the coming generation should pass out un protected and untaught into a cold, merci less world. An important financial con- eidorntion was referred to the proper com mittee and every uiemter agreed to take the subject uuder earnest advisement be fore it was dropped. The discussion then reverted to the Chil dren' home, which is an important auxil iary to the Humane society. It was re ported in the most nourishing condition and crowded to its utmost capacity. No further business coming up the meeting adjourned, with the expectation of being called again during the coming week to discuss the subject of an indus trial school. At the conclusion the matter of the con solidation of the different hospitals was discussed and Mayor Clement, happening in, joined in the debate. The impression seemed to prevail that the hospitals would take the initiatory step in this movement themselves. MEO. Minnie 3ray. wife of J. B. Keister, at 5 o'clock a. m., July 31, at her residence W0 Soath Lawrence avenue, aged 21 years. She was an active, earnest christian worker, showing, her love for the Savior in her example. She has bei a member of the Lincoln Street Presbyterian church nearly three years and has been called up higher to enter into the rest that remains to the people of God. In her death the church has lost an influential member, the parents, a dutiful daughter and the hus band a devoted helpmeet.

THE COUNTY NOKNAU Yesterday's session of the normal insti tute opened with a calm, clear and bright atmosphere. The teachers were all appar ently as fresh as the proverbial daisy, and no time was wasted in commencing the good work of the day. A large number were on hand to avail themselves of Prof. Lawrence's drill in calisthenicat 7:40 a. m. This class is mastering the most difficult movements, and the development of the muscles, especially of the young ladies, betides great, immeasurable woe to the un lucky urchin, who is so unfortunate as to allow himself to be caught at his favorite pranks. At 8:40 all the attendants of the normal assembled in the chapel, and indulged in singing, after which the scriptures were read and the Divine blessing wa3 invoked upon the work of the teachers. Prof. Naylor's classes are full of life and interest. His history class dwelt upon the relation of biography to history and elic ited the point that a good way to interest children in the study of history is to get them to study the men whose actions ruled the world, and to have them write biographical sketch es of these men and in doing so, they would easily and almost unconsciusly ab sorb the greatest of historical events and older pupils should discard the dry bones of history and be led into the philosophy of the subject, Prof. Charles gives his classes no time for idle thoughts, but has them busy delv ing into the merits of transitive and in transitive verbs. Quite an exciting time was had over the passive voice, and the time passed by before the question was definitely settled. In his reading class the time was devoted to drill and discussion of upon articulation and form of voice. Some in the class have learned to read quite creditably. The bookkeeping class is keeping pace with the times and is now journalizing and studying the princiules involved in the same The "B" class in constitution held a brief discussion of the changes which should be made in the franchise of the American people. The ladies were modest, the gentlemen gallant, and woman suf frage seemed to carry the day. The class discovered that Kansas was one of the states which permits aliens to vote after having declared their intention of becom ing citizens of the United States. The re strictions to universal franchise which should bo made were passed over until next recitation. Paof. South s "south room" is the scene of some very interesting recitations in physiology. The profesfor is a very en thusiastic worker, and as a natural conse quence his recitations are interesting and well supplied with lively discussions. Iu talking about the voluntary motion of the heart, one of our prominent teachers went far enough to talk about the e-motiou of that organ. The class in geography discovered in all the states the principal meridians and base lines from which the government surveys of those states are made and told what states and parts of states are surveyed from each. Also the position of the vari ous correction lines and guide meridians of the several states. The plan of desig nating townships, ane the subject of fractional townships were made clear. Causes of irregularity of surveys received attention. Miss Bryson is giving the members of her classes some very valuable instruction in the way of primary reading and ortho graphy. Her method of teaching reading is similar to the phonic method, but possesses many superior points. It gives the child the benefits of the phonic" method without the helplessness which that method superinduces when it comes to learning new words and combinations. Mis Bryson thoroughly understands her subject, and is very explicit and clear in her presentations to her classes, and her auditors cannot fail to obtain helps which will make them more efficient in that most difficult part of the teacher's work primary teaching. The normal work as a whole this year is more on a professional order than over be fore. Tho Kansas normals are up with the times. Sedgwick county can well feel proud of her normal, of her schools and of her wide awake, progressive county super intendent. NOTES. It is rumored that two of tho normal young ladies want to indulge in an inno cent little prize fight. The only trouble is that both can not have Prof. Lawrence to teach them the proper calisthenics. One young man should take the prize for gum chewing. Ho looks quite intel lectual, and it is lielieved if he would stop chewing long euough he could make a fine speech upon some esoteric psychological subject. The teacher who wanted to know last year who wrote "Gray's Elegy," is no longer seen among the fnmiliar faces of the Sedgwick county teachers. Ho (or she) has departed to some more congenial clime probabiy Oklahoma. SOUTH EKN KANSAS FAIR. The directors of the Southern Kansas fair met yesterday afternoon in tho Sedge wick with almost a full board represented. On account of the season very few of tho farmers could como but were represented by other members. The result was that about a dozen members represented nearly the entire board. This made a nice work ing board and the pressing business and the routine work were disposed of in short order. Then some verv important and interesting matters were broached and those present scarcely liked to take the responsibility of passing upon them. Thus tho most important part of the business was laid over pending a full attendance. The secretary rnd treasurer, according to a previous resolution of the board, each filed a bond for the faithful performance of their duties. and the same were approved by the board. The matter of getting a thorough distribution of the premium lists among the farmers of the section was next discussed and in this con nection a communication was read from President Clover in which he paid he would request the various secretaries of the farmers' alliances to attend to this matter. The idea seemed to be so good that a resolution was passed instructing the secretarv to forward to each alliance a certain number of premium lists i of premium lists A anons other channels for distribution. were also taken advantages of and it is safe to say that premium lists will reach every farmer in the dtstrict in ample time. Big results are confidently expected from the faithful distribution of these premium lists for the reason that they contain great ' inducements for farmers to compete and show both their stock ana produce, ane list of special premiums is also an import-1 p, v ConrreEauooal caareh Serv ant item and shows what the local interes i yf$JSFStritou of is. tbe psr, tb pnlpit will be supplied by THE BLvCH.-KD Ol'.v.

METEOROLOGICAL. SU3IMAKV. The following facts and fignres relative to the atmospheric conditions of the month which has just closed have been gleaned from the signal service report of the Wichita station. A difference of 5 de grees in the mean temperature of the mouth will be noticed, and 3 inches variation in the rainfall compared with Julvone year ago. For July 1S00, the mean barometer was 29.914; highest 30.096 on the 4th; lowest 29.742 on the 6th. The mean temperature of the month was S2.4 ; the highest 102 on the 20th; the lowest 5S on the 25.

Everyone will attend 31iss Flavin's lec ture on Sunday night at the Garfield on Father Damien, the Hawaiians and Lep rosy. The St. Paul Press has the follow ing: "The lecture throughout was full of in terest and its beautiful diction was such as to place it above the lectures one usual ly hears. We trust 3Iiss Flavin will soon give us another treat of a like nature. In undertaking a tour of the world to glorify the memory of Father Damien, she is prob ably doing as much in the cause of charity as a many membered organization for it is impossible to listen to her charac ter sketch of this self forgetting man with out having the noblest instincts of one's nature aroused. In graceful glowing language she says a tribute to her dead friend which not even the most bigoted can grudge him, for nothing in modern times can compare with Father Damien's heroism." Mis Flavin lectures at Gar fied hall Sunday evening next. TIDE COURTS. COMMON" PLEAS COURT.

The potato is one of the moat important of cultivated plants, and iu universal cul tivation in tcinperato parts of the globo. It is a nativtj of mountain districts of tropi cal and sub-tropical America, probably from Chili to 3Ioxico, but thiroi3 some question as to whoro it is really indige nous. Humboldt doubted if it had ever been found truly wild, but subsequent travelers of high scientific reputation ex press themselves thoroughly satisfied. Maizo and potatoes are the two greatest gifta which America has given to tho rest of the world. The potato has been cultivated in Amer ica and it tubers used for food for a time long anterior to the discovery of America by Europeans. It seems to havo been brought first to Europs by tho Spaniards from tho neighborhood of Quito in tho Sixth century. No more important event of this kind has over taken placo than the introduction of potato culture into Great Britain and other European countries. It was long called "batatas" or sweet potato, which lithe tuber or plant meant by English writers down to the mid dle of the Seventeenth century. It appears to havo been brought to "Ireland from Vir ginia by Hawkins in 1565," "and to Eng land by Sir Francis Drake in 1623." Hall's Journal of Health. Tho Nose. The mouth is not more distinctly the gateway to tho alimentary system than tho nose is to tho respiratory, nor is it more carefully designed for preparing food to enter the stomach thai is the noao for pre paring air to enter tho lungs. It is important for all persons to be in structed that tho nose has three highly necessary functions related to breathing, and for which it iu delicately adapted, be sides those of an opening for air and a de tective of bad air, viz. to warm, to moiitcu, and to filter tho air which it admits, and that neither of these f nnctions can be per formed by the mouth. However warm or cold tho atmospheric temperature tho air 1b brought almost, if not quite, to thu tem perature of the blood in passing through the nose alone, and even beforo reaching tho pharynx, or cavity back of the nose; that however dry tho external air may be it is completely saturated with moisture by passing through the nose. Hall's Jour nal of Health. Ail Jilatorlo Tree. Tho form most commonly taken by the tree myth is that some legtolatlv act took place under the branches. Tbo Parliament Oak is so called because King John In 1213 is said to hova assembled his barons beneath it and there debated with them the revolt of tho Welsh. To moke the myth still more impressive Edward I held a council in 1200 under tho uuxne. tree for tho same purpose. Tho Major Oak, be lieved to bo one of the oldest in England, is another about which traditions cling. And indeed the old tree baa sen eomo hiMory. King John, it is said, rested un der it, Robin Hood nlept Loncatb it aliel ter and the Crusaders from England camp ed under it. It is 82 feet in clrcumfrataico just above the roots. The brancbes spread out 240 feet across. Tho trunk has bren hollow for an immemorial time, having a cavity of 7 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. Hut the old tree is kI1 healthy and green.

Eat fewer omelettea and enjoy them tenfold by ordering once in a while a four, six or eight egg omelette. Such an omel-tte is a dish for the gods, but a small omelette is a poor thing.
