LEASE WANTED WHISKY. Two Men Drink the Wrorg Stuff With Fatal Results. From Monday's Daily. We, the Union Labor party of county in convention assembled re-affirm the principles of reform 88 set forth in the last national and state platforms, and unhesitatingly affirm that the money question is the real iseue before the people. The efforts of the old parties to make resubmission the key note to the coming campaign is for the purpose of diverting the attention of the people from the dangers which threaten' them.

1-We advocate the free coinage of silver and the issuing of money direct to the people without the intervention of banks, and at the same rate of interest at which it is given to bankers. 2-We advocate the purification of the ballot of by adopting the Australian aye tem voting. 3-We advocate the state printing a uniform series of echool bouks and furnishing them to the schools at cost. 4-We advocate that the sale of property under the mortgage foreclosure shall satisfy such mortgage and no judgement for residue be found against the debter.and we demand further that at least two years' time be given mortgager to redeem property. 5-We demand that the government make good to the old soldiers the difference between depreciated greenbacks and gold and we commend the action of Cordoral Tanner for his generosity and fair dealing to the old soldiers and depounce his removal by our chief executive in the interest of the money power.

W. C. WEBSTER, Chairman. Does prohibition -ADS wered in a fatal manner at Belle Plaine, Sumner county, just across the Sedgwick county line last Friday evening.

The case about to be cited actually 00- curred and shows that the people are bound to have drink whether they get it openly or are compelled to steal it. On last Friday Mr. Otto Weiss, of this city, was at Belle Plaine and vouches for the following: It was fair week and there were many strangere in the town. Among these strangers was man named Watson and a friend hailing from Wellington. They were good citizens but often felt the need of a good drink of whisky to keep their spirits up.

This being the case what should be more natural than that they should" go to drug store for something to drink: On Friday night they entered one of these places and as there was crowd present, they shipped behind the perscription case, and finding bottle sap. posed to be whisky, they each poured out a glass full and drank it. The result was fearful. One of the ran out into the room and fell to the floor, while the other spitting his out began to moan and ran down the street. They had made 8 mistake and of drinking whisky, had poured down barbolic acid.

Watson has since died And the other man may recover: as be did not swallow the poison. Hie month and were eaten raw by the powertal acid, but from the effects of this he may recover. The other man swallowed his and it ate his stomach into holes. The affair bas created a great deal of stir in" Sumner county and it is needless to say that for sometime hereafter when a man gone to take a nip on the quiet he will be sure that he is drinking whisky and not an acid of some kind.

The officers of the association needed more hands, eyes and tongues than the allotment to answer all the requirements placed upon them. The exhibitors are fast. placing in position various kinds for show.

All of the leading firms of the city are busy with numerous arranging their exhibits. All the appurtances of the grounds are arranged for acceptability, view and comfort as regarde floral, mechanical and stock exhibits, while the creature coniforts in the way of booths and eatit houses, seate and pleasant lounging places has not been overlooked. 'The exhibition ball eclipses in style, magnitude any like ball ever built in Sedgwick county grounds. It is in the exact form of a cross baving thus four departmenta, separating thus the classes for exhibit in a manner unique and attractive. We note to to the right of the main entrance the elegant dieplay of the Bos ton store consisting of dry goods, notions, fancy goods, shoes, cloaks and millinery, arranged in so artistically as to hold the sightseer until a jam is threatened which is only broken by the hart attraction going--that of the Eno display, the arrangement and selection of which is almost bewitching.

From Saturday's Daily. Another one of Wichita's old citizens who left their home to better their worldly condition, has gone the way of all flesh. A majority of our citizens know Joseph Fenuell, better koown 88 "Colorado Joe." He was a gambler by profession, and for several years ran the gambling rooms over the West End drug store. Joe was a universal favorite with all who knew him and was a man with a startling hietory. He was considered honest and honorable in 8 business dealing, and it will be with sincere regret that our citizens learn of his death in the hospital at New York City.

Last fall Joe married a very estimable young lady of this city and they lived bappily together. However, the husband was not satisfied with his business here, and becoming involved in debt he determined to sell out and go to a country where money was reported to be plenty. He had beard that South America offered better facilities for making money than any other country, and therefore started for Buenos Ayres, taking with him all his earthly possessions and leaving his wife to follow after him or await his return. He left last March and was on on his way bome when death overtook him. Only a couple of weeks ago his wife gave birth to 8 boy baby and she has been very anxious for her husband's return.

Dr. 'Tilden attended her during her illness. and last evening when she received the following letters which fully explain themselves, she carried them to her physician and requested him to answer them for ber: HEALTH OFFICER'S DEPARTMENT, STATE OF NEW YORK. QUARANTINE, S. Sept.

Sailed the latter part of that month from New York for Liverpool, thence to Dublin, thence to Bordeaux, thence to some place in Spain and from thence to Buenos Ayres in South America. 'The same diary states that be sailed from Central America about the first of this month. I write these fully so that you can determine if this mad is your husband, and if you desire to communicate with him (if living).

At the receipt of any communication I shall be pleased to dictate it to him. Very Respectfully, Wu. M. SMITH, Health Officer. On the 26th of this same month this same letter contained a death notice: QUARANTINE, S.

Sept. 20, 1889. Mrs. Ada Venuell: MADam--Your hueband was taken from the S. S.

Hondo on the 16th in a sinking condition and never rallied, bat died the next day I informed you the date of the removal of his serious illness. His personal effects are in the hands of the superintendent of the island. So far as I know and I have not examined his trunk, he had a gold watch and chain and between $35 and $40 in money on his person. Very Respectfally Yonre, WM. M.

SMITH, Health Officer. Mrs. Fennell resides at the Burton car works addition, as does also a brother of the deceased. Mr. Fennell's father lives on a farm a few miles north of the citv.

The deceased was on Lis way to Wichita when death overtook him. Hie wife and family have the sympathy of all our citizene in their sad breavement. A CLOSE CALL. A Lady Whose Escape from Death Was Marvellous. Last Friday afternoon the wife of Capt.

C. I. Meyer escaped death in a way so marvelous that it can only be accounted for in the manner that so many escape from instant death amid the rain of bullets upon the field of battle. Her escape should be a warning likewise to the almost criminal use of firearms by those who go out into the suburbe to practice at target or to shoot birds at random. Mrs.

C. T. Meyer with her husband and five small children live upon the banks of the Big Arkansas, just north of the Thirteenth street bridge, between the rivers and joining Oak Davidson's addition. There 18 a deep undergrowth and some heavy timber between the house and river bank. Last Friday afternoon while Mrs.

Meyer Wa8 attending her bousehold duties in the vicinity of the cook stove with several of her children around her 8 bullet from 8 Winchester came crashing through the house followed in quick succession by another that move passed 80 close to her head 88 to her hair and stun her for a few seconds. The latter ball passed entirely through the door jam, falling upon the floor, where Captain Meyer found it. He hastened to the river bank in time to see two men in shirt sleeves walking cityward, but at such a distance 88 to be beyond recall. Frequent complaints are made by those residing along the streams, of reckless shooting endangering the lives of those who live in the vicinity. The indigoation following the killing of some innocent person, man, woman or child, the ultimate result of this reckless foolhardiness, would be sure to provoke lynch law and is getting to be a matter that challenges eerious thought and some speedy remedy.

THE DAILY JOURNAL, beneath the splendid portrait of O. H. Bentley, advocates that gentleman for governor in 1890. Senator Bentley is the Republican Arnold Winkleried who had the courage to dash into the foes of Kansas prosperity with a about for liberty! The result of this bold onset will bring Kansag ont from Puritanical bondage, and at the same time secure for Senator Bentley a broader field for official service. His letter favoring resubmission is bringing forth expressions of endorsement from all parts of the state, from men of influence who have hitherto smothered their sentiments.

A prominent state officer, among others, says: "You are eminently right, Senator, resubmission must come. Even our capital pity is afloat in beer and liquor," Arrow.

One of two things is Either the law can be so executed suppress the infamous traffic, 88 carried on, or it cannot.

If the be true, then the failure to thus it lies right at the door of those with that important duty, and should be held to a rigid account such failure. If the latter be true that the law cannot be thus executed, then let it be speedily replaced by thing that will both regulate the craftic and give u8 a revenue The present prohibitory law and present slip-shod manner in which executed, constitute the most disgusting farce and expensive delusion ever ated by any people.

The Old Time Postmasters and Their Internal Wars. Several days ago THE JOURNAL contained an account of the moving of the Wichita postoflice during an early day and this article has been commented on considerably. Last evening one of the founders of Wichita in speaking this atter said: "Sometimes the 'old timers' get alightly mixed in their dates in matters perainicg to ancient history.

L. West WAS appointed and confirmed postmaster. The office was located on East Douglas avenue in what is now the east room of the Boston store. It was then that the North Main street boys showed their fine Italian band. One Sunday morning 10 1874 when we went to the office after our mail a large card was found in the window announcing the fact that the postoftice had been moved to the Occidental botel.

At that time Wichita bad only one paseenger train each day, the time of arrival being 11:45 p. and its departure was 3:25 0. m. Monday morning at 3:25, Marsh Murdock took the train for the north and on the foilowing Thursday the weekly paper announced that he had gone to Emporia on a visit to his parents. Tuesday Hon.

He was not satisfied with the services rendered and subsequently brought suit against the ettorney for damage, alleging that when he went to consult he was told to "Go to hell."

115. THE GAY GAMBLER. What Has Become of the Old Wichita Sports. The death of "Colorado Joe," brings up the fact that very few of the old-time gamblers that used to do business in Wichita are now here. have left for newer fields action or are dead.

They did not tind business to their liking after the "boom" died out and every one on the streets was not flush with ready cash. It was then that the most of the houses closed their deore. "Doc" Ross, who owned and operated A large gambling house on North Main street and likewise another on East Douglas avenue, has quit the town and gone to Ft. Worth, Texas, where he is balf owner in the "White Elephant" gambling bouse. While here he enjoyed the reputation of having run the squarest game in the city and was the man who operated the keno room at which fine midnight lunches were served every night.

Many of the bums and cheap John clerks of the city used to go up into Ross' place and play in 8 tencent piece 80 a8 to get a chance at this lunch, which was really elegant and cost so much that the business would not sustain it and the house had to close. Then there was Colorado Joe, of West Douglas avenue. Poor fellow, his trip to South America and his ineffectuall attempt to wrest a fortune from the wilds of Central America, and also bis death from yellow fever at the quarantine hospital in New York, are too fresh in the memory of the reader to need repeating. But there is one other old timer that must not te forgotten nor overlooked. This other one was J.

H. Thompson, better known 88 Jack Thompson." He was a cousin of the notorious Ben Thompson, of Austin, Texas, aud who was killed by some Mexican des-, perado some years ago at San Antouio, Texas. Jack was a chip off the old block, handsome, agreeable and a "killer" if necessary. He ran the finest place in the city in the building located at the southwest corner of Topeka and Douglas avenues. He also put up a equare game but failed to make bis pile.

"Texas Jack" Was known but very little in his own house. He was fiuely educated and a gentleman. Consequently he was a favorite with the ladies and we in the very best society. He never drank, seldom swore and never quarrelled but all who knew hum kuew also that he would kill an enemy with as little compuuction as a tiger. He Lever ran a "bluff" nor indulged in any lengthy talks about his "past record" but he usually "got there" just the same when it came to a show down.

Swiling Jack Thompson had a etartliox history, very little of which could ever be learned. He had been first and foremost in the cattle king tight, in which "Billy the Kid" took au active part. In this War he 18 known to have killed a number of men When this war ended he drifted about 'TeXas aud tinally getting hard up for cash it is said he single handed he up a stage and made it "pay toll." For this he was outlawed but afterwards obtained a pardon from the state for gallant conduct while assisting some officers in breaking up a of Mexican horse thieves that used gang to dash across the Rio Grande and commi; depredations on this side after which they would flee to their own country for safety. After receiving his pardon Jack went quietly away for a time and it is said spent a fortune that he had somehow amassed in living 8 life of ease in New York city. He then returned to Texas, got mixed up in some sort of trouble and killed his man.

A warrant was ie. sued for him and two constables went to effect his arrest. The officers found him, got the drop and ordered him to take off Dis pistols and hand them over. Jack did as be was told and started to band the guns to the officers with the muzzle toward himself. As they went to take bold of them be whirled the weapons quick as lightning and shot them both.

Then he fled to a dugout on a socalled cattle ranch that he owned and was there pursued by a large posse of officers: who he successfully stood off with Win-; chester and two forty-fives. He once more escaped and rich and powerful friends again succeeded in squaring the matter. It is said that Jack was a lawyer by: profession and the writer thinks that i Very probable fact. At any rate he was. a splendidly educated man and a thorough gentleman who would to: take a mean advantage of any one When Thompson arrived in this city several years ago he bad about $15,000 in money, but he left broke, and is now located somewhere in Washington Torritory.

"Texas Jack" was the finest pistol juggler the western country ever He would take a revolver in either and while whirling them like lightning send load after load to its mark. One night in a building on Water street Jack was whirling pistols and as they revolved he raised and lowered the hammers. with fearful rapidity. The guns were loaded with shells and the writer could bear the hammer as it fell on these shells, yet did not explode them. This man knew to a nicety just what amount of concussion was neceseary to send those loads off and he nicked every cartridge in his revolvers and did not explode one.

As a shot he had no equal The night after the killing of "Black Jack" Gregg, the writer met Jack Thompson in the parlors of the notorious Iron Clad fancy house. Gregg lay dead in the front room and this parlor was filied up with tin horn gamblers and black legs who posed 88 gamblers and "bad men." Thompson was seated in an easy chair before the fire and liatfor some time to the talk and bluster of the crowd and then smiling suavely, remarked: will tell you what goes to make a gambler in Wichita." "What is it, Jack?" remarked one of the sports. "In the first place," said the Texas man, "a would-be smart man comes to the city. He catches a woman, mean a sporting woman, and he roba her: Then he is a "solid man." Next he gets drunk and beats her and maybe licks poor drunken man or two. Then he is a "bad man." Next be takes $2 from this solid girl and gambles it away, goes out and gets drunk, runs up against the wroDg man, makes a bluff and gets killed and then he is a dead The Texas sport quietly looked over the crowd when he had finished and that hie story was not believed.

A majority of his listeners were just such men AS be had described. Seeing many scowling faces around him Jack resumed "I or any other good man could take corn cob with a fire bug the end and any dark night run a regiment of such curs into the Arkansas river and drown them. "The crowd gradually disappeared and left Jack alone. It was for such speeches as this that be made onemies of the tough element of gamblers, but they feared to even walk on the same side of the street with him and he cared nothing for their friendship or their hatred. Jack Thompson used to wear in winter a fine overcoat thrown over his shoulder in the Spanish style would attract attention anywhere.

Ho was of splendid build and carried a keen, gray eye in his head. He feared neither man nor the devil and while friendly to a friend, was a deadly enemy when aroused. He left Wichita broke, but it rumor is true, has once more recruited his fortunes in the northwest country and is doing a large business. He was capital fellow even it he was 8 gambler..
