Judge Dale gave him six months in jail. The A.

Lemley case is on for tomorrow and Messrs. Bentley Hatfield say they will make a hard fight. This will be the first case In which there is a contest. Large delegations are expected from Garden Plain and Cheney. Lemley is charged with attempting to steal hogs.

TURNED HIM LOOSE. Police CouimL.loncrs Make a Bad Precedent bv Releasing Rnl Maroock. The release of Roland Murdock by order of tbe board of police commissioners has caused considerable unfavorable comment. Young Murdock was arrested Saturday morning by officer Gamble for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk on Douglas avenue, near the corner of Lawrence. He was caught in the act of riding there and then admitted that he knew there was an ordinance against it.

Tbe boy seemed to go on the theory that the "pull" of his dad, R. P. Murdock, and the Eagle would get him out of any trouble and it appears he was right. The release ot Young Roe Murdook will place the police department in an embarrassing situation in case some one else infringes on the ordinance. It would not look good for a son of a son of a rich roan to be turned loose when there were no palliating circumstances, and a poor man fined for doing the same thing.

Giles Smith and Col. Taylor Mix Up. SOW OVER CITY EEFUG BOPS Taylor Claims a Commission and Mr. Smith Denies the Claim. MUSIC BY ENTIRE BAND SOON.

Topeka Papers 8trt the Chub, and Wich ita Correspondent. Stir Up the Animal. Ther cities of Topeka and Wichita are ust at present very much worked up over tbe stories sent out by the enterprising Topeka correspondents of Kan sas City papers. ihe Immediate cause of all this vit riolic distemper Is tbe bond transaction between the city of Wichita and the school fund commission of the state It was decided some time ago that the city should issue $25,000 refunding bonds to meet some necessary expenditures. It was necessary to have this money by July 1st, and the mayor ot the city, and J.

Giles Smith of itbe fi nance committee went to Topeka to negotiate these bonds. It was at once discovered that it would be dlflcult to transact this business, since at that time there was pending in the supreme court a case which Involved the valid' ity of some Wichita bonds. Pressure was brought to bear upon the commis sioners and Treasurer Hefflebower to show that no matter the outcome of this case, tbe bonds now desired would in no manner affect the case, since they were good beyond question. Sev eral trios were made to Topeka by the finance chairman of the council, and fi nally Mr. Hefflebower agreed to accept the bonds, providing tbe commission ers would approve and sign them.

Supposing this to be final, Mr. Smith bad the bonds made in due form anc" again went up thore ready to do ness. To his surprise he found the treasurer still dilatory and unwilling to accept them, after once agreeing to. Governor Lewelling was called upon to facilitate tbe expediting of this busi- and G. C.Clemens was called upon to render an opinion to bis client Hefflebower to the effect that the bonds ell right.

This he did. and Mr. Smith was finally successful in selling these bonds to the commission, and all was and in time to meet the necessary expenditures. Right here comes the trouble between Col. Taylor and J.

Giles Smith. Col. Taylor claims he agreed to float these bonds with the commission for a consideration, this consideration to be far less than what It would cost the city should they sell them to the regu lar brokers In tbe east. One was to be at six per cent while Taylor agreed to sell them at five and to take $500' for his services simply as a eommissloa. Mr.

Smith claims that his offer of $500 waa at once, refused, and from then on as far as he knew Col. Taylor had no hand In it. In the minds of a great many, no censure is laid on either, as it is thought that It was a general misunderstanding between the council, or at lease tbe finance committee and Col. Taylor. In any event, nothing irregular appears, since if Taylor did have anything to do with it, he certainly is deserving of a fee, and if he did not he bas no claim, and there It stands.

Col. Taylor's mission to Topeka was to get the endorsement of the commission to the effeot that they Jhad done business with They were all absent from the olty however, but noth ing could be done until their return, since Stryker's mouth seems to be the only means by which he can attempt to do anything. It is an unfortunate affair to say the least, and it is to be hoped will eventually be settled to the satisfaction of tbe city, the council and tbe hitherto friendly contestants Baldwin Studio.

Thurman, a Well Known Trav eling Man Dies On a Train Sunday He Wni Going To Hit Borne In Liberty Mission To Kelt, Hat Death Overtook Him While Earonte.

His Death Surprise. Last Saturday evening Mr. Q. D-Tburmanof Liberty, Mo. whose headquarters are In this city boarded the north bound Santa Fe to go to his home for medical treatment, lie had been for some timo very bad off and his attending physicians bad advised him to go home at once as he had along Beige of sickness before him.

He left the city on 408 and seemed In good spirits though far from a well man. At two o'clock Conduotor Miller of the Pullman Co. conversed with him and asked if there was anything he could do for him At quarter before four tbe next morning the oolored porter of the car talked with him, and be was not any worse than he had been. At 6 o'clock as the train pulled Into Holllday about thirteen miles out of Kansas City the occupant of the berth opposite Mr. Thurman called the porter and advised him to look after the occupant of "No.

6," as be appeared very strange. Conduotor Miller and the porter at once responded and found Mr. Thurman dead. He had died very quietly, and evidently very easily, between the hours of four and six. When the train arrived In Kansas City the body was taken to an undertaker for embalming, and there to await tbe advices of tbe family.

Mr. Thurman was well and favorable known in this city having for several years traveled out of here for tbe St Louis Paper Co. His untimely death bas cast a shadow over the local council of the U. C. T.

as he had many friends In the order. So far as now known no arrangements have been made for the funeral or the disposition of the remaings. There are no stoves these. The SMOKE will guarantee to con fuel and keep fire 48 210 North Main Street fry. Mr.

He also served In the U. 8. Engineering corps In Colorado for six years, i The object of this sketch has been a resident of this city for nine years apd has made a goed reputation.

Mr.Tha oher is well equipped for the office of surveyor and will make a capable official. There is Utile doubt of his eleo tlon. JOHN R. MOORE was born and reared on a farm In Southeast Missouri, near St. Louis.

He received a common sohool educa tion and afterward learned the print ers trade. When the war broke out in 1861 be at once responded to tbe cause of the union and began active prepara tions to enter the army, which he did in August, 1861, becoming a member of six months regiment, called out by Governor Gamble for the protection of the state. He re-enllsted' early in 1862 In the 12th regiment M. S. M.

Cav. Vol. for three years' or during tbe war, and waa mustered. out March 25, 1865, as first lieutenant of his company. On returning home be was appointed reg istering officer, and authorized to raise a company of Missouri State Militia for the 84th.

regiment and was commissioned captain of company but tbe command was never oalled into active service. For 1866 he was appointed by the county court to fill an unexpired term as county assessor. On November 6th, of that year, he was elected on the Republican ticket to tbe office of county assessor, which he filled with edit for two years. Ia 1869 be es tablished the only Republican paper in his native county and afterwards managed a number of papers as editor and publisher. In 1878 he removed with his family to Kansas, settling in Cowley county.

In 1882 be received an appointment as postal clerk of the rail way mall service, which position he filled until 188-5, resigning in ftvor of his son. Mr. Moore came to Wichita in 1886, and bas been almost ever slnoe actively engaged la tbe newspaper business. He held the position of deputy city as sessor for two years. Through all those years Mr.

Moore has been a consistent Republican, never having at a county, state or national election, voted any but the Republican ticket. Mr. Moore is well fitted for the office for whloh he Is a candidate and should be GEORGE HARRIS. The candidate for county commis sioner Geo. E.

Harris Is perhaps the best known and oldest resident of them all. 'He was bora ia Woking, Kent, England, and Is 65' years of age. He and bis wife came to this country about war times. He went to Aurora, 111., and enlisted in the 72nd Illinois. He was mustered out at Springfield and then went to Pana, to reside.

He came to Chetopa, Kansas during the trying frontier days, and In 1871 came to Wichita. In V2 he began the natural ice businesss and it is said that during the grasshopper period many a man would come to him for work and agree to work for 50 cents a day, but Mr. Harris would never hire a man under $1.75 a day whether he needed him or not. In 1874 he was e'ected mayor of the city snd served two terms as such. For twelve years he was councilman and three years member of the board of education.

He resigned from the council to accept the appoint ment under Mayor Cox aa park commissioner, whioh be still holds. He sorved in the Queen's Guard in Eng land. Such a splendid record ot pro, longed and honorable service certainly entitles him to the esteem and the votes of the electors at the coming election and to the responsible position of county commissioner.

EVERY ONE SHOULD BE ELECTED There Is Not a Weak Man on the Ticket and Every Republican Should Support The following is a brief biographical sketch of each of our candidates: CHARLES W. SIMMONS. Charles W. Simmons was bora in Green Wisconsin, in 1847 and was reared in that county.

His educa tlon waa received in the common schools of that county. Mr. Simmons lived there until he came to Wichita in October. 1870, and located on a farm where he lived several years As deputy sheriff under Sheriff Royse, Mr. Simmons proved himself competent to fill that office and during that time made a number ot arrests of desperate characters, and was in every way a good officer.

Last fall he was nominated for clerk of the district court by the Republicans as a com pro. mlse candidate, and was next to the top man on tbe ticket. He has been nominated by tbe Republicans as a can didate for sheriff and the voters of this county will make do mistake If they elect him to that office by a large majority. A. M.

DENNY. A. M. Denny the popular and able candidate for county clerk hardly needs an Introduction to Wichita citizens. For fourteen years he has been well and favorably known to about every voter in the county too.for that matter, Mr.

Danny was born In Woodford couuty, 111., but was reared' in Logan county same state. He was a farmer until 21 years of age and lived closely at home, acquiring a good education all this time. He came to Wichita in 1884 and has lived here ever since. Probably not a man In Sedgwick county is belter Imformed In farm values and real estate generally. He has always been closely Identified in his business with financial and realty affairs, and has become intimately acquainted with the farmers and agricultural conditions.

His splendid record this last term in this very important office is well known, and his experience has fitted him for still further and better service to the taxpayers of this county. He saved $5,000 to the county last year alone, and to continue him there will mean the further reduction In tax assessments of the county. MORRIS i. LOYD. Morris J.

Loyd, the candidate for re election to the office of county treas urer, is an Illinois man, he having been born in Marshall county in' 1851. He was reared In that county and there remained until he was 25 years old. He worked on bis father's farm until he was thirteen and In a store also belonging to his father untlll twenty-five. Mr. Loyd came to Sedgwick count) in 1876 and has lived here ever since.

He farmed here for seven years, and afterwards engaged in the lumber business at Garden Plain, remaining for eight years In that business. He says with great pride that bis first vote was cast for Grant in 1872 and be has voted the straight Republican ticket ever since. Mr. Loyd has undoubtedly made, the best treasurer Sedgwick county ever had. All the business of the office Is done on business principles.

The methods of keeping the accounts are very similar to those uced In bonks, and there is no chance for doubt as to the condition of his books. Be has a very efficient official and deserves re-election. A. J. WEAVER.

Pennsylvania furnishes theoaadldate for Register of Deeds. A. J. Weaver first saw the light in that state and It was there he spent the earlier yeas of his life. He enlisted and served three years in the army, receiving wounds whloh still trouble him.

Mr. Weaver came to Kansas In '70 and homesteaded in Payne township. He is now a successful farmer in Fayne township. He was the Republican candidate for representative from the 66th dletrlct in '04 but was defeated. He is not a politician but he Is a man of ability and good charaoter.

He will make a good register of deeds. C. B. THACHER. C.

Swab, 145 North Main. At this Time be recognized as a christian who does not reflect the Christianity of Jesus. The spirit of the world is against the teaohlngs ot the sermon on the mount. While It Is necessary to make declaration that we are christians it is more important that we live the teachings of tbe New Testament. To do this we must pray for grace and divine help, at the same time we must school our selves by rigid discipline.

The Greek from which "temperance" comes bad better be translated "self-control" since it evidently refers to self-mastery. By this process it la alone possible to make the intelligent, good citizen. At tbe close of the sermon the fol lowing six rules were given which had been helpful In living a good life: 1. Particularly guard against the habit ot complaining. 2.

Begin every day with appreciative thoughts of God. Read the scriptures daily. 4. Wben conscious of sin of any kind, re pent and pray for pardon. 5.

you wrong anyone, purposely or uninten tionally, be brave and strong enough to confess it and apologize. 8. Be a soul winner. At the close of the ser mon ten persons were received in the church. The address was embellished with numerous lnoidents of a practical nature.
