Sailn Haslet ggtntufoffi gipril 18, 1 9 GO ON 3BD BULOT I. P. Campbell Selected by Pops at Great Bend. GREAT SCRAMBLE ON Both Democrats and Pops Wa'nt Congressman. I.

P. Campbell of this city was nominated by the Populist convention at Great Bend yesterday for congress on the twenty-third ballot. But the Democrats "want consressman. and they wouldn't nominate Mr. Campbell.

Claude Duvall of Hutchinson was nominated on the first ballot by the Democrats, but the Pops want congressional nominee again and they wouldn't nominate Duvall. Duali was nominated on the first ballot and at midnight last night appeared in a fair way to get the conference committees to agree on him, if it could be decided at all to allow a Democrat to have the rlace. But the Democrats were firm in their demands to be allo ed tht piece and the Pops were just as eager and firm, and it is hard to tell just what the result will be. W. Brown of Kingman withdrew In the sixteenth ballot, the leading man In the race at the Populist convention.

Just why he withdrew while he was in the lead is hard to divine at this distance, unless there is a scheme to nominate a dark horse, which a good many people beJeve is true. It is thought, too, that Sam Amldon la one of the mcst available dark horses in the race, and the deadlock may break at any time canisihfrvoni may break at any time in his favor. W. G. Muir of Harser withdrew before he got to Great Bend and there was only ne other man, a Rush county candidate, in the race besides Brown and Campbell on the PoouMst side.

A two-ring circus is mighty hard to pull off unless the ring-masters are on gopd terms, and there is no telling what th, Great Bend convention will do. it may be a repetition of the Sixth district attempt to fuse at Colby a deadlock to the last and two candidates or np candidates at all. 'The following dispatch from Great jSend to the Eagle was received near "midnight: "Great Bend, April 17. The Dem- ocrats and Populists unable to fuse. I.

P. Campbell nominated by Pops on twenty-third ballot. Brown withdrew, the leading man, In the sixteenth ballot. Duvall nominated on first ballot by Democrats. Conference committee in session tate tonight trying to bring absolute fusion, with poor prospects." The Democratic convention made Ed ward Hackney of Wellington chairman and H.

V. Stewart of "Wichita secretary. Three candidates were named: Duvall of Reno, Rose of Harvey, Campbell of Sedgwick. Duval was nominated on the first ballot. Claude Duval was declared the Democratic nom'nee for congress.

A. Ayers of Sedgwick was chairman of the Populist convention and T. Gibbons of Scott secretary. In the morning session a resolution was intro-djced that the fusion candidate be a pullst, but tho resolution was -tabled. After dinner the same resolution was brought up and carried.

The vote on this resolution showed that of the Populist delegates vera in favor of a Democrat arid la majority opposed to a Democrat. The names of Brown of Kingman, Brown of Pratt. Rose, Duval, Campbell and Andrews were placed before the Populist convention. First ballot Populist convention resulted: Duval 39; Brown, 8S; Campbell. 26; Andrews, IS; Rose, F.

Brown. 5. FIRST ADD OX 23RD BALLET Later A dispatch at 2 o'clock this nornintf from Great Bend says: "The hope of the fusionists in the Big Seventh congressional district hnve been shattered by the action of the Democratic and Populist congressional conventions. Both conventions adjourned at 12 ao this "Wednesday) morning, after rival candidates had been named. The Democratic convention nominated Claude Duvall of Hutchinson, a well known commercial traveling man.

The Populists nominated I. P. Campbell of Wichita. Tht was taken after both conventions had appointed conference committees on these committees had failed to igree upon the terme of fusion. Ex-GoriCTessman Jerry Simpson was not a cardidate for the nomination.

His po-litii al associates were active workers in of Duval a a fusion candidate, with an understanding that Duvall should ha.f the Populist support and that in return the Democratic "ote in the next giMature should fce cast for Simpson for r-ited States senator. The Populist contention empowered its executive eommit-ee to efTect a fusion later with the cons' nt of the invention's candidate, and uon this action some hope of fusion is nil based.

There was a case on trial in the city court yesterday which is pretty much jumbled and altogether tangled up. The case Is a suit brought by F. G. Smyth Sons against tho Columbia Machine a corporation doing business In the state of Ohio. In their bill of particulars, the plaintiffs say that the defendants shipped them two gasolene engines on consignment.

These engines were warranted to be-first class in construction, to generate five-horse power, to be suitable to run machinery In the place of ordinary engines and to be reo from defects. Relying on these representations, Smyth Sons sold one of the engines to the Western Lithograph company of this city and warranted it tho same as it had been warranted to them. Xow this engine turned out to be wholly unfit to do the work which it was supposed to do and caused the lithograph people an endless lot of bother and delay. Of course they looked to Smyth Sons to make good their part of the contract that 13, to make the engine run. This seemed very hard to do, for Smyth Son are alleged to have spent a considerable amount of money in trying to coax the engine to run in a proper manner.

At length the Western Lithograph company became disgusted with this kind of motive force and sent the engine back to the dealers. Then the engine, together with Its mate, which had never been sold, was transported to the McCormick Harvester company's warehouse and placed in charge of Mr. D. S. Porter, their general agent at, this jwint Smyth Sons had paid the Columbia Machine company for the engine, and, after It had proved a failure, they wanted the firm to refund their money.

The machine company could not see it that way and refused to remit. Smyth Sons then brought suit for the amount of $525 and ran an attachment on the two engines in the possession of Mr. Porter. The defendants have fought the case from the start and are still fighting it. To begin with, they dug up every little flaw they could find in the papers and moved the court that the case be dismissed on account of these discrepancies.

The plaintiffs filed counter-motions and the case was kept in court. The machine company had never made any fight on the second engine, but were devoting their attention to the new one. Finding that the motion scheme would not work, they brought a new circumstance into the case. A man named Louis A. Addison filed an lnterploa claiming that the Columbia Machine company had on the 19th day of March assigned the engine in tho possession of Mr.

Porter to him and that he should be declared owner of the same. One of the strange things about this lnterplea Is that the suit was filed, on the 14 th of February, and yet Mr. Addison says the engine was assigned to him on the 19th of March. The arguments on the case will be heard at o'clock this morning, and it will then be settled. OPERA BY BATTERY A To be Put on nt Crawford Theatre Apr 1 2G.

The artillery battalion of the Kansas National Guard, consisting of Battery located at Wichita, and Battery located at Topeka, are need of some schooling in field work, and as there were no available funds for this purpose, the commanding officers decided to raise the necessary money for a practice march this summer by personal efforts, and to that end have arranged for. the production of the opera "La Flosta San Xavier." The maxim "In time of peace prepare for war" should be appreciated by every citizen of the United States after the experience of two years ago. when It was necessary to raise a large army on short notice, and every one should be willing to encourage and assist the National Guard in its endeavor to educate itself. Tho opera will be given Thursday, April 26, at Crawford's opera house. toTaTsTmoney Jb'all Festival Committee Laid Plans Last Xight.

The ways and means committee of the Carnival and Fall Festival association held a meeting in the city building last evening The topic up for discussion was the manner in which to raise money by subscriptions for the fair this fall. The principal subscriptions anions the business men will probably be raised in the manner pursued last fall. In addition to this, subscription papers will be circulated among those who do not attend Commercial dub meetings, and it is possible that the committee will attempt to raise funds by popular subscription. The plans for the festival this fail are so extensive that it is imperative that sufficient money be raised to guarantee the greater part of the expenses. FUNERATOF MRS.

DRAPER Will Occur This Afternoon at Three o'clock. The funeral of Mrs. F. B. Draper, daughter of Dr.

and Mrs. J. H. Terrill. who died Sunday morning, will be held at the Terrill home, 15S North Main street, this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Of this. is of Kansas Midland division first mortgage bonds, and 5363,000 common stock trust certificates of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad. The new Frisco bonds arl authorized for 51,300,000, of which 5200,000 will be reserved for future improvements on the Midland division. Interest will accrue from April 1.

The new securities will be distributed pro rata to the 51.60S,-000 outstanding Midland bonds less the amount required to pay expensed and some 550,000 receiver's certificates. This deduction will be in the neighborhod of 5200,000. Two hundred thousand dollars for Improving the Midland means nearly 52,000 a mile, the road being from Wichita to Ellsworth 105 miles long. The sum of 52,000 per mile would almost build the track new. It is fair to assume that even after new steel has been put down and the property repaired all along the line there will be probably or more left and that most of the remainder will be spent in improving the Wichita terminal, building a passenger station, freight depot and the like.

The Frisco ia the only big road reaching Wicnita without Its ows terminal facilities. Its passenger business through and local in and out of Wichita is important and the freight business Is immense. The Frisco has on several occasions shown a frank friendliness for Wichita and the town has every reason to believe that the road will put in a new passenger station commensurate in capacity and elegance with the road's importance and its relation to the town. By the new arrangement Wichita will be on a great through run from St. Louis and thu east to Denver and western points.

The expending of 5200,000 on the Midland means not only important and heavy improe-ments for Wichita, but it must nrean also a greater and more substantial equipment of the division, not only In the way of tracks, switches, depots, but In the rolling stock. This will create necessity for more repair work, shops, and It is only fair to assume that some of this will come to Wichita, and in coming acid probably twenty or thirty or a hundred men to the town's laboring population. The purchase of the Midland shuts off the probability of its extension to the southeast, a matter Wichita regrets to see and which must be put forward by local effort if it is ever done. Wichita needs a southeast road. CONCERT AT ST, JOHN'S large Attendance Xijrht at Itoiiey'cs The Blatchford Kavanagh and "Honey's Boys" concert at the St.
