The every day business life of Wichita is so great that it takes quite a crowd indeed to make much of a showing. J. F.

Mr. C. says that the farmers of Hodgeman have bettor crops this year and are more pros perous than they have been since the set tlement of this county. An immense acre age of wheat is being sown this falL CONGBESSIONAI GTO. THE CAMPAIGN OPENED AT GAE nELDHALL. Colonel James K, Hallowell Faces Large Audience and an Enthusi astic One-Clever Licks at the Opposition. The first gun of the congressional cam paign in. Wichita was fired last night at Garfield hall. A large crowd was present despite tho many political attractions else where. When Colonel Hallowell entered the hall, accompanied by the chairman of the Republican county central committee, Mr. E. T. Allen, the crowd gave ample evi dence of an enthusiastic feeling for the candidate. Chairman Allen presented Judge Wall as chairman of the meet ing who responded by saving that in a government like this the discus sion of political questions ought to be en couraged. Tho meeting was for the pur pose of considering questions of material importance. He presented Colonel Hallo well, who ought to be and would be the next member of congress from this dis trict. Colonel Hallowell was received with in tense enthusiasm. He said the enemy were claiming already a victory; claiming de feat for the Republican party even before the first shot had been fired. To the point ho recalled that the fight had not com menced yet. The battle of ideas was about to commence, and he had no fears of the result in the Seventh congressional district of the great,, state of Kansas. This was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, giving somo idea of the feeling in Wichita. The speaker recalled tho pledges made by tho Republicans in the national con vention of '88 and maintained that the party had filled its pledge on the silver question, complying with language of the platform. The question was considered at length and recalled that the people must especially want free coinage, and the Re publican party is complying with the de mand. Should he be elected he would certainly work early and late in the lino of free coinage. Silver was the poor man's money and when the poor man was pro vided for the country was in good condi tion. Tho speaker recalled that his opponent claimed that the Republican party had not been treating the old soldiers fair on the pension question. His opponent had charged tho commissioner of pen sions of not allowing a cer tain old soldier a pension until ho joined the Republican party. Tho speaker was anxious to see the alleged letters bo fore believing the statement. The total pensions paid in Kansas amounted to over six millions per year. His opponent had claimed that ho was an old soldier but the record showed that he was in the service three months in '61, was not in a battle and not outside the state of Illinois. After staying with tho boys three months he went to Canadian waters where lie remained until after the war. The Farmers' Alliance originated in the south where there was a feeling against pensions. He read a sgeech of W. H. Brawley, of South Carolina, an Alli ance candidate for congress, saying he was in favor of tho Alliance working as an organization against pensions. It would scarcely be safe to entrust the pension leg islation to Mr. Simpson. Tho people of the west were criticising somo tho McKinley tariff bill. There were some features about it that might not suit the great west, but. the Republi can party could enstrusted with tho work of the nature. The speaker was in favor of a tariff just so high as would protect the laborers of this country. Never a tariff so high that would stimulate tho formation of a trust or combine. As a result of tho tariff a. self-binder would cost ?U0 nnd $115, while iu 'S3 the cost was 315. The reduction in farm machinery all along the lino almost as great as shown from a price list read. Mr Simpson had said that tho Dodge City platform was all right, but the con vention djd not mean it. The speaker could not understand that his op ponent was good authority to impugn the motives of the men who composed the Dodge City convention who were business men, men of integrity, men who had somo other way to settle the national debt than with their jaw. They did not mean decep tion to themselves or to the peoplo about so important business matters. Referring to the national debt the speak er said it was the lightest debt tho people had to bear and although a scare crow to some was not as great a burden as the per sonal debts. He favored an increase in tho circulating medium, now $1,400,000,000, nnd should be increased at least $100,000, 000. It was necessary to carry on the busi ness of tho country. An important step had been taken in that direction. The interstate railroad commission should bo empowered to force the railroads to do business for a fair income on actual cost of road. Mr. Simpson's plan to buy tho railroads would call for more money than is now on hand and would greatley in crease tho employes of the government. The increase would bo 700,000 employes aud one party getting into power could not bo put out except at tho point of tho bayonet. No one could certainly on inves tigation take seriously to the proposition. There was no doubt about the people be ing hard up. Many in debt but the facts showed that moro farm mortgages have been paid this year than at any other year. This was encouraging and would result at last in get ting out from tinder mortgages most of them the result of speculation nnd very few of them given to get bread for the family. To talk of bankruptcy was foolish, but to say the people were hard up was correct. This even baing true the Republican party was not to blaioo for speculation or hot winds. The speaker said he was a Republican 355 days in the year. If the Topeka con vention had resolved against prohibition he would have favored it: if for prohibi tion he would favor it; also favor the county ticket with resolutions instructing representatives to work for resubmission. He could do this like every other Repub lican nnd be consistent. This would de feat designing little politicians. This ref erence was enthusiastically received and the speaker, continuing, he hoped that the Republicans in tho county would see to it that he be given a big vote. At this point again there was an abundance of evidence of enthusiasm. Tho meeting adjourned with hurrahs for Hallowoll and many took the occasion to congratulate him on his speech. They were quite certain that it was the kind to knock out the theories of the opposition. ENTERTAINED. Miss Hazei Nerdlinger entertained a party of her friends on last Thursday af ternoon in honor of her sister's birthday. Among those present were Misses Lena Fechheimer, Lena McNice, McNaraara Birdie Zimmerly.Swcrnie Zimmerly.Pearl Zimmerly.Minnie Zimmerly, Teru Husey, Edna Goldstandt and Marion Herman. The inclement weather prevented many others from attending. The refreshments included all the delicacies of the season and the children did ample justice to them. Eaoh little Miss was presented with a souvnier and all having had a most enjoyable time departed, wishing Miss Hazel many happy returns. NOTICE. Strangers and delegates attending the state Democratic and Resubmission con ventions are cordially invited to visit the board of trade rooms in the Sedgwick block, corner of Market and First streets, and see the display of products of South ern Kansas and the manufactures of Wichita. H. L. PlEHCE, Secretary. HOAKD OF TKADE. The addition to the display of fruits and and farm products in the board of trade rooms is constantly increasing. Yesterday George McClure and E. S. Aldrich brought in some mammoth peaches of the Morris White and late Crawford varieties which attracted considerable attention. Joseph Fager of Hayesville placed on exhibition some fine specimens of seedling plums. Every person should take an interest and send in their best samples of grain, fruit and vegetables. It is a good place to show what Sedg wick county produces, and just the place where our citizens should take their friends when in the city. THE SCHOOL- OF LANGUAGES. Under the direction of Professor J. S. Griffin, as advertised in another column, will open in the Sedgwick tomorrow. With the improved facilities for travel and and the consequently increasing inter course with Europeans, apractical knowl edge of at least one of the leadiug conti nental languages has become almost indis pensable, while the rich treasures thus made accessible in the literatures of those languages afford a most elegant and profitable enjoyment that will make any life better worth living. Professor Griffin will be found today in room 42S, where he will be pleased to meet not only prospective students, but friends, and all interested. MAGNIFICENT PEACHES. However much of fame Delaware aud the east shore of Maryland may claim for their fine peaches we do not believe that some of the orchards of southern Kansas can be beaten this year by any country for fine peaches. The other day we mentioned a twelve-ounce peach from George Bennett and a bag of beauties measuring from ten to twelve inches in circumference each from the orchard of S. H. Hoover. Yes terday morning E. S. Aldrich brought to our office a basket of Late Crawfords which equalled anything in tho peach line that we have seen this year. The product of a few trees brought him ninety dollars. Tho secretary of the board of trade will preserve some of them for the fair this fall. Y. P. S. C. K. ORGANIZED. The chapel of the Wright Presbyterian Mission on Eighteenth street was hand somely decorated last Sabbath. It was rally day for the Sunday school.

The double-header convention booked for today made quite a showing yesterday. In fact on Sunday evening quite a number of characteristic strikers from Fort Scott, Leavenworth, Atchison and other points arrived. They were out with war paint on for ex-Governor Glick to head the nomina tion or no combination ticket. They in tended to be on hand in time and had made no mistake. A few more arrived from the eastern part of the state yester day morning. The trains from tho east made quite a showing in the afternoon. The unterrified were circulating in great numbers. The 4 o'clock Santa Fe from the east brought in the Leavenworth fellows with a fair rake-off along the line. The 7 o'clock Rock Island brought in the Topeka Democrat delegates and the Republican resubmission delega tion. The latter brought with them the Marshall band, fifty pieces, and were met at the depot by a large crowd, and marched to Hotel Carey. They furnished some fine music, which was highly appreciated. The Kingman Democrats came in at 7 o'clock with a band marched to the Manhattan. They with the Pratt fellows immediately organized for business. They had some war paint to spread around. The last evening trains caused the Dem ocratic visitors to reach as estimated six hundred, and the Resubmissionists as esti mated by Chairman A. L. Allen, five hun dred. More for each convention are ex pected this morning. Yesterday was spent mostly in skirmish ing around about the governor question. The Resubmissionists were pressing with all possible strength the claims of ex Governor Charles Robinson, of Lawrence, and the majority of tho prominent Democratic politicians seemed to be on the Glick side. The Glick fellows became moro enthusiastic as the day passed and the color on their faces increased. And as the color increased they would emphasize the fact that tho vote was to come from the Democrats and it was that party to be pleased in order to stand any show for election. They would talk about Simon pure Democracy and claim that the Democrats wanted tickets straight as well as everything else. They would refer to the Robinson fellows with a sneer nnd scowl and give ample evidences of a bitter feeling on the question. They would even venture that the Resubmission ists would not have enough votes to entitle them to the first place on the ticket and surely in the total absence of tho Re submission fellows no Democrat would think of voting for Robinson. Tho Robinson friends, despite all, made the best show. They had the most badges. They did the most talking out loud and appeared to show less feeling against Glick than the' themselves were met with from the Glick fellows. From the general confusion the prevailing opinion was that Robinson would bo nominated, but the Glick friends would grit their teeth and declare that the Robinson following would bo represented more on the outside than on the inside of the convention The leading supporters of Glick are W. C. Jones, Col. A. A. Harris, J. C. Sheri dan, F. L. Vandegrift, R. B. Morris. The Robinson leaders ase General C. W. Blair, W. C. Perry. S. F. Neely, Judge jo,,-'.'-, D.ivid Overmeyer. Thc Democratic central committee met last evening at the parlors of the Carey and after a scrimmage between the Glick nnd Robinson forces the farmer was suc cessful in capturing the temporary organi zation. For chairman, John C. Sheridan. ofPaola; secretaries, W. A. Eaton, of Kingman; F. L. Vandegrift, of Atchison, and Henry Schindler, bf Leavenworth. Tho Robinson fellows voted for General Blair until it was discovered he would be defeated. The Democratic convention will meet at the Crawford at II o'clock today. The resubmission convention will have for its temporary chairman Mr. D. A. Banta, of Great Bend, and the convention will be called at 11 o'clock at the Garfield. Mr. A. L. Allen, chairman of the state central committee, stated last night that the party was in excellent shape. All but a few western counties would be repre sented with complete delegations. In all probability each convention will appoint a conference committee, and the object of the meeting will be to decide on tho terms of a f usiou ticket. Jt is believed that if the Democrats will concede thc gov ernor that will be all the Resubmissionists will ask and in case that is refused they would accept chief justice and name Lucien Baker, but he claims that he will not accept tho place. TROBABLE CANDIDATES. For governor Ex-Governor Robinson, ex-Governor Glick. Lieutenant governor U. D. Tolur of Sa lina, George W. Clement of Wichita. Auditor A. P. Martin of Greenwood, M. W. Lantrey of Ellsworth, W. A. Eaton of Kingman, Rev. B. F. Foster of Topeka, the alliance candidate. Treasurer Thomas Kirby of Abliene, C. W. Goodlander of Fort Scott. Attorney general F. W. Bentley of Wichita, L. C. Crawford of Pratt. J. N. Ives of Rice county with the alliance candidate, W. P. Dillard, of Fort Scott. Secretary of state S. G. Isett, of Cha nute. There is some talk of nominating a col ored man for auditor in order to try to capture tho feeling for J. L. Waller on the Republican side. J. H. C. Taylor, of Wy andotte, is mentioned. The Alliance fel lows in this line are pressing the claims of Rev. Foster. No one is mentioned so far for public in struction, there being little sympathy in that direction. The following representatives of the press are on hand to take in the conven tion: Alexander Butts. Kansas City Star; Arthur Capper, Topeka Capital; R, II. Lindsay, Kansas City Times: A. G. Stacey; Kansas City Journal; F. L. Vandegrift, Atchison Globe; W. A. Eaton Kingman Democrat; Henry Schindler, Kansas City Times representative at Leavenworth; Frank T. Lynch, Leavenworth Standard; Luke Herron, of Wellington Standard; T. E. Leftwich. of Lamed Optic; R. Retillon, of Dodge City Times; J. B. Grourch, Flor ence Bulletin. PERSONAL MENTION. C. H. J. Taylor, of Kansas City, Kan., the pompous exponent of ungratefulness, who has been after an office ever since he came to Kansas, wants the nomination for auditor and he wants it very bad. He was Cleveland's minister to Liberia. He claims to carry the colored rote of Wyandotte county in his vest pocket. Colonel Tom Moonlight,of Leavenworth, is among the late arrivals. It is probable that he will be the Democratic nominee for congress in the First District. Colonel W. P. Tomlinson, the gallant leader of the Kansas Democracy, is one of Robinson's most earnest supporters. Colonel Tomlinson was one of the first to suggest the name of ex-Governor Robin son, and it was immediately taken up all over the state. He says that while Glick is one of his closest friends politically, he believes that the nomination of Robinon would be far better. Judge T. A. Hurd of Leavenworth, the only Democrat who has ever been on the supreme bench of Kansas is one of the coapicuons characters in the convention. Hon. R. L. Cofr&n, who is the only Dem ocrat ever elected mayor of the beastly Republican city of Topeka, is at the head of the Shawnee county delegation. Mayor Cofran is he most modest man iu the convention but a very smooth politician. Sam Riggs, of Lawrence, who made the race once against Farmer Funston in the Second district and got busted so badly that he has staid at home ever since, came down with the Douglas county delegation yesterday. John A. Eaton, of Winfield, who made the race aeainst Perkirm two vpats no in the Third district and who is one of the best fixers in the Democratic ranks, is getting in some good work am ng the del egates. Judge John Martin, Councilman Earn est, City Attorney Isenhart, City Clerk Tauber, ex-Postmaster Mileham, Michael Heery, Eugene Hagan, Hon. David Over myer and J. J. Hitt are among the protni" nent Topeka Democrats attending the convention. Dr. S. F. Neeley, who wa3 for several years mayor of Leavenworth, is here at tending the convention. He has recently been speculating in St. Louis real estate, and it is said he making a fortune. Rev. B. F. Foster, a colored gentleman from Topeka, who has been nominated by the Alliance for state auditor, is here seek in a Democratic endorsement, but the Democrats look with very little favor upon his candidacy. J. B. Crouch, editor of the Florence Bul letin, is among the delegates. Frank T. Lynch, editor of the Leaven worth Standard, and postmaster at Leav enworth until he was fired by the Repub lican administration, is with the boys. John C. Sheridan, of Paola, who will be temporary chairman of the Democratic convention, is one of the bright younglaw yers of Miami county. He makes a good speech. There will be a number of the Kansas Democracy's ablest orators in the conven tion today, amODg them General Charles W. Blair, of Leavenworth; David Over myer, of Topeka; Edward Carroll, of Leav enworth, and David Dale, of Wichita. Ex-United States Marshal W. C. Jones, is ono of the principal Glick strikers. Hon. Dick Morris, of Atchison, who was the first insurance commissioner of Kan sas, appointed by Governor Glick, is on the ground. He is the best dressed Democrat in Kansas. Hon. W. C. Perry, of Fort Scott, who was United States district attorney under the Clevelaud administration, is in the city. Hon. Edward Carroll, of Leavenworth; the only Democratic senator in the present legislature, was among the first arrivals. He is chairman of tho Democratic state central committee, and Democracy comes pretty near being his religion. Fred Vandegrift, the Dhilosophcr of tho Atchison Globe, is on deck. Ho will bo one of the secretaries of the convention nnd there is some talk of putting him on the the ticket for secretary of state. About 3 o'clock this morning the Glick men claimed a majority of the delegates. THE KICIIKY OBSEQUIES. Captain William A. Richey was buried yesterday afternoon with military honors. The remains were moved from his late residence, No. 730 South ltttie nvenuc, to the Garfield hall where they lay in state until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The casket was beautifully decorated with floral emblems and the remains wero viewed by hundreds of his friends. At3 o'clock the Grand Army service was read by Rev. N. E. Harmon, chaplain of the Garfield post. The long funeral train was headed by a detachment of the mounted police followed by the Canton Wichita in full uniform and battery "A" under command of Captain Willis Metcalf mounted and uniformed. The Garfield post, represented by every member, ac companied the remains and upwards of fifty private carriages and hundred- of people on foot lengthened out tho solemn procession. A great many Masons wero in the march. As the funeral train wound slowly over the brow of the hill and came in sight of the la3t resting place battery A fired minute guns. The smoke no sooner cleared away than the solemn boom of the cannon reverberated on the air in mourn ing for the departed comrade. Captain Richej leaves a wife and son and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. A KUNAWAV. A horse and buggy belonging to Mr. Ed W. Smyth, of C05 South Topeka, ran away last night with his wife and child and if it had not been for the boys of No. 2 hose a serious accident would probably have re sulted. The horse in some way got tho end of the shaft caught in the rein and be gan to plunge, whereupon Mr. Smythe jumped out and went to his head. The horse sprung against Mr. Smythe, knock ing him down and hurting his hand quite badly, then started to run north on To peka. Several ineffectual efforts were made to stop him which only increased his speed nnd the danger to the lady and child. No. 2 was out exercising with the truck and were just in front of the opera house when they saw the runaway. Taking in the situation at a glance they immediately put their truck across the street completely blockading it. This obstruction made the horse slacken his speed and Mr. Baldwin who was at the tiler sprung down and caught tho fright ened animal by the bead. Mrs. Smythe was very badly frightened but neither she nor the child were hurt in the lea-stand the only damage to the team was a broken shaft. It was afterwards learned that Mr. Smythe was not seriously hurt either. GOU1EV KOD PAKTY. The golden rod fociety tendered a fare well party to Miss Ellen Harris, at her home on the corner of Third and Fourth streets, as her family move to St. Paul. Minn., shortly. Music and dancing con sumed the early honrs of the evening after which dainty refreshments were served. Dr. and Mrs. Harris, the grandparents of the hostess, occupied the head of the table and were just as merry as the younger ones. The recollection of a real good time will always lesen thesadness of a farewell.
