MAGISTRATES COURT.

Justice Walker is now in the court room
formerly occupied by Justice Hobbs, de-
ceased, and on yesterday was trying civil
case there.
Justice Thomas issued warrant yester-
day against Samuel johnson, who stands
charged with dieturbing the peace and quiet
of Susanna Davis. Susanna has once before
complained that Samuel had been thorn
in her existence and the court had been
| called on to make him do better, but he still
worries Susanna to such an extent as TO re-
quire another admonltion from the court.
The case most engaging the attention OF
the court yesterday was that of Daniel Ward
VS.. Father Kelly for services performed
about his household and on the new
church amounting TO Sl37. Father Kelly
was on the stand and testified to the rela-
tons existing between master and man and
| rigidly cross examined by Attorney Harris
as to his standing as pastor of the congrega-
ton over which he ministered. His ques-
tions were very pointed and embarrassing to
the young priest, but did not elicit any dam
aging admissions from him. The jury re-
turned n verdict of Sl.25 for plaintiff, the
amount rendered by the defendant. The YER
dict throws the costs on the plaintiff, Dam
lei Ward, as that amount was the amount
which Father Kelly admitted and rendered
before trial.

1t is not surprising that the Fifth ward is
growing, since they have large extent Of
fine lands on which to build residences and
to establish various enterprises. The sum-
mer has witnessed great improvements there
and still the enterprisng people are not al
together happy. They want street railroads
very badly and are now discussing the most
feasible plans to establish them.
In an interview with number Of leading
citizens the reporter gathered that plan
was being agitated whereby the interests of
the city and that of the Fifth ward might
be subserved and street railroad track laid
across the river. The plan is to remodel the
bridge by taking off the two spans of the
ends of the bridge and grading approaches
instead and using them for the ends of the
second bridge. Ii is commended that such a
remodelling would be an essential aid to
travel and prevent the many jams that &C.
| cur at times OF heavy travel. The estimated
cost of the completion of a second bridge
would be very small IN comparison with the
good resulting therefrom. Such a remod-
| cling would make the bridge even and of
full width of Douglas avenue and Chicago
avenue, and help materially the looks of
both those thoroughfares.
A large amount Of funds necessary TO the
work has already been pledged, and it only
awaits the opportunity to shape the prelim-
inaries to have i. in shape to be acted on by
the proper authorities. Messrs. RoSt. Law
renee and o. Martinson are very anxious to
have the matter put before the public and
regard it as very essential improvement to
Douglas and Chicago avenues.

COLORED MEETING.

A meeting of the colored voters ofthis
city was held last night at the court house.
for the purpose of the colored men who
have registered, and for taking into consid-
Grafton the proper course for them to pur-
sue in the coming county election, also for
instruc,ing them in such a course as will
| best subserye their interest as well as the
best interests of the county. Mr.. Thomas
Glover was elected chairman and Mr.. S. c.
Hern6on was chosen secretary.
When the chairman had announced the
object of the meeting and said they were
ready for business, Mr.. +. T. Preston arose
and in very sensible speech. presented
reasons TO show the proper course for the
colored citizens to pursue in the election.
Mr.. Preston was of the opinion that
the interests OF his people would be best
subserved by supporting the republican
ticket, and his colleagues concurred in that
view.
Others present made remarks in the same
vein, and the meeting was unanimous in this
view. There were thirty-two present at
the meeting and the utmost harmony and
good fe ling prevailed
Mr.. Glover made very sound and sensi-
bic speech which was warmly received by
those present. After = general exchange of
views, it was found that seven of those pres
ent had not registered. After receiving in
struc,ions as 10 REGISTRATION the meeting ad-
journed to meet sgsin on next Thursday
night.

THE PRIZE RING.

The rink was well filed last night to wit
ness the wrestling and pugilistic perform
ances, and there was lots of fun. The spec
tators probably enjoyed it as well as a cir
Gus.
Prof Will Willie wrestied with an un-
known, and the unknown was unknown in
the wrestle as well as in name for Willie
downed him twice in succession with ease.
The young colored chap named Garfield
and white boy named Lawson put on the
gloves and occasioned more sport than all
the rest. The way they went for each other
was really amusing. Young Garfield doub-
led himself like an eel and got in some good
ticks on bis opponent. Occasionally they
became desperate and went for each other
like wild Arabs, when they had to be parted.
The white boy was much the largest
but Garfield made up in activity what he
lacked in weight. When Doc Worrall and
Burk came upon the stage to give the main
performance, Marshal Cairns stepped up to
the front and notified the pugilists that
fighting with hard gloves and knock outs
were against the laws of the state and would
not be permitted. At this great many in
the audience demurred, but the marshal was
firm. Burk then inquired il he would allow
them to have a friendly set-to with soft
gloves. The marshal said he would have
no objection to sparring match, but he
would stay there to see that there was no
punishment. He had taken the precaution
to have sufficient number of policemen
present to enforce his orders, if necessary.
When time was called the two men
began the contest, and although Doc
Worrall is no SLOUGH, it was plain from the
start that he was no match for his oppo-
nent. Burk is an easy boxer, and made just
enough show to prove that he was really
boxer. 1t has always been a question
whether he is the genuine Burk. Be that as
it may, he is cool scientific boxer. He is
well built, and moves with ease of profess
sional. The first round he broke Docs false
teeth, and the little constable had to finish
the round with the busted teeth in his mouth.
Doc worked hard, and when he got
through he was very much warmed up,
while his opponent was cool. Two young
men next put on the gloves to contest for
cup. 1t was harmless encounter, and the
young men showed no skill. This ended the
evenings performance 1t all amounted to
nothing more than bit of amusement.
Whenever Burk had an open show TO put in
lick on Doc he refrained from doing so,
and made an attempt TO disguise his oppor-
tunity. Harry Hill was the referee, and when
the marshall shut down on the knock down
business, he said he wished somebody would
take him out in the country. 1t was not
rowdy crowd by any means; large number
of respectable business. rnen of all classes be
ing present.

The News man visited Wichita a week ago
last Monday for the first time in three years.
We were prepared to see great changes in
the city, but must confess that we could
hardly believe the evidence of our optics.
On the ground where formerly stood small
wooden structures now rest huge three and
four story blocks of brick and stone, while
thousands of beautiful dwellings have been
erected on ground that three years ago was
growing crops of wheat and corn and was
considered quite distance from the city.
Large wholesale houses are being estsb-
lished, new railroads being built, factories
erected, and the rush and hustle of business
reminds one of city of 10000 inhabitants.
Wichita is a wonderful city, and We are
more than ever convinced that she will be
tie metropolis of Kansas. if not of the west,
in few years. We called upon Marsh
Murdoch, of the EAGLE, and found him
grinding out editorials for the old bird at a
rate that caused the country scribe's eyes to
opeu wide with wonder. The EAGLE is
booming. We don't believe there is an
other case on record of nine-colnmn daily
| in town the size of Wichita whose pro-
prietors can boast of filing their entire
space with home advertising, and then be
compelled to leave out two or three columns
for want of room. But such is the case with
the EAGLE folks. Wichita has bonanza
in the EAGLE, and the EAGLE has bonanza
in Wichita.-Sharon News.

COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

A meeting of the Sedgwick County
Teachers institute, will be held in the high
school building to-day beginning st IL
o'clock g. m.
This is a new departure in this county
and will be found OF infinite value to the
teachers. These meetings wherever held
have resulted most bene6cially. Every
teacher learns great deal by such inter.
course, that can be put into practice when
be or she goes back to the school room.

is 1T POSSIBLE?

1t now appears that the reason John Fish
er cut Hancock's tn -oat and threw his pow
erful influence for Garfield, was that the
Fishers claim some sort of hole-and-cor-
ner relationship TO the Garfelds, because
Johns father and Garfeld's father traded
dogs in the early days in Ohio, and Johns
grandmother and old Mrs. Garfield had been
together at "9ulltins." In this connection it
is reported that, had Mr.. Garfield lived. John
expected an Indian agency. That would be
SO funny; to see John down in the territory,
arm in arm with the big cattle thieves and
monopolists, and doing his level best against
the boomers.
An explanation of these knotty points IN
u card by Mr.. Fisher would no doubt be in
teresting.

woMEN's BENEVOLENT HOME.

The Women's Benevolent Home is an
institution whose benifcent effects are be-
ginning to be felt in this community, al
though in its infancy. Our people should
take deep interest in this institution and
acquaint themselves fully with its workings,
also to learn something of the class of peo-
pie taken care Of there.
No paupers who are not sick are taken
there. but that large class, who are not long
enough in the county to be entitled to cit
izenship, and who are sick, are taken in and
cared for until they are able to work for
themselves. 1t Is thus quite different from
from the county poor house, because it takes
care of those outside the door of the county,
not being here long enough, but who
are sick and helpless among
us, and who we would have to care for some
way.
The managers of the home would like
every body to call and see what they are do
ing and examine how it is dones 1t is, as its
name implies, purely benevolent. 1t is not
q city, county or state concern, but it par
takes of the nature of all three, to q great
extent. 1t is not kept up by the city or
county and everything given is done vol
UNFAIRLY. The city pays the rent of the
building and the county gave small dona-
ton, but the institution is supported mainly
by voluntary contributions. Every one in
town has second hand clothes, they can Just
as well give as not, and all such will come
in play. The cold weather is now coming
on and what is most needed by
the inmates is bed cloths, and they are bad
ly needed now. There are plenty of good
benevolent people in the city who would be
willing to donate q blanket or quilt ifthey
only knew they were needed. They are
needed badly.
Every city of any size has its benevolent
home, and in large cities there are great
many. In Pueblo, Colorado. all the poor
are taken care of b. an institution of this
kind, the county and city paying their
share.
The institution hsre is well conducted, and
the manager will publish statements of its
doings once month, SO that every one can
see how it is progressing.
1t is hoped somebody will come to their
relief soon with donations of bedcloths.

AROUND THE CITY.

Yesterday was almost ETHEREAL in its balmy
beauty, but it was sheol for ness. Nothing
at all of newsy character occurred, and no
one was heard TO boast of business. It was
rather day for pleasure than business, and
people waddled along the streets in tropical
laziness. Clerks in the stores had to prop
up their eye lids to keep awake. Real es-
tate did not go of like hot cakes. Toier
gathered up good crowd who went out to
his sale, and he sold several thousand dol
lars worth of lots. This man Toler is al
ways raising the wind, and it looks like as if
he was going to sell of all the additions in
the city. It is reported also that there were
5000 men in town who did not buy
over coats yesterday, although there
were lots of clerks who wonld be quite will
ling to devote portion Of their valuable
time 10 accommodate them.
The only perceptable rush in the market
was the rush of hay, but no rush of pur-
chasers was noticed.
There was slight smattering of politics.
The principle dealer in that sort Of thing
was very snug built and apparently well
fed colored man, who wore quite an ar
tistic moustache. He strolled around the
streets and would meander up to fellow
and ask; "Who do you think will be our
next sheriff." He would then answer the
question himself, saying John Fisher was
the man. He would make it a point to
drop into a joint occasionally, and treat.
Campaign money of course. He met Mr..
Thomas Glover near the postffioce, took
him by the arm ard walked off with him in
real ward-pclitician style, but it amt very
likely that he made much impression on
Tom; nor is it likely he will on anybody
else. II he has vote himself probably he
can control that vote and cast it for his
friend Mr. Fisher

The only reason the writer of the pcliti-
cal articles in the EAGLE has opened his
batteries on John Fisher, is because he is
the only Democrat who is pulling the wires
for Republican votes. Ii is stated that he
intends TO throw of his Democratic col
leagues solely in the interest Of John Fisher.
If that is true i. might be well for the re-
msinder of the Democratic nominees TO in
9uire into that little cut-throst dodge. Per-
haps Mr. Howard Soule and his friends
could throw some light on Johns DISPOSE
ton tor doing that sort Of thing.
