POLICE COURT

Ed. Greenwood was up before the police
judge yesterday, charged with being drunk.
He told the same old story, he didn't intend
to get drunk, but he might have been fuller,
just feeling good. He didn't have any
money, he was dead broke, all gone for
beer, not having enough to purchase
enough to whet his whistle, he was busted
community, defunct member of a defunct
firm. on whose estate no councilman could
appropriate any part for ways and means.
Impeeuniosity hung over him like pail
no stray quarter could find companionable
nickel in his pocket with which it could
jingle. The court taking into consideration
the depressed spirits and dilapidsted pocket
of Edward touched him lightly for very
plain drunk SS and costs and discharged
him on credit.
An old citizen sailed in with John Doe
expression on his face. He, too. had tasted
of the nectar beloved of the gods until his
rosey-hued countenance shown like the red
tint of sunset, with a turkey red fronts piece
like the ancient Bardolph. Uncle John Doe
took his medicine in small dose of So and
costs and sailed out into the wide, wide
world lighting his way by phosphorescent
light from his expensive spark of never
dying fire. Old John Doe and young John
Doe. one coming on the police stage and the
other going off, one with pant taken on and
the other taken off-ah. What fools these
mortsls be.

SHOOTING OF A SOLDIER AT NEW
KIOWA.

Musician Smith, Company "k," 18th Inf.
was shot about o'clock on the morning of
the 9th, by a citizen employed by cattle
firm of unsavory reputation, and perhaps
fatally wounded, the ball taking effect in
the abdomen and perhaps lodging in the
spinal column. Smith was known as an old
soldier, and considered a kind hearted man,
well liked by officers and men. The affair
was very much deplored by
citizens and soldiers alike. The
offender was arrested and jailed
yesterday by the civil authority. The
prompt arrest is highly creditable TO the eff
iciency of the city marshal of that place.
The troops ale satisfied TO see the law take
its course and are highly complfmented on
their good order.
The affair was an unfortunate one and
arose from the imbibing of too much slim
ulants and misunderstanding induced by
the impetuosity of citizen of bad reputa-
ton. The patient is under the care Of Aci-
ing Assistant Surgeon McNary, L. S. a.
As the wound is considered fatal it is doubt
ful If he recovers

OBSTRUCTION.

For some time trouble has been brewing
among an organization knows as "The
kickers." The innocent cause of the fer
ment in this we'll known organization ap-
pears to a dread of railroads. At special
meeting Of the "Kickers" held in their hall
last night Capt. Highkioker. was elected
president, and Hon. Mr.. Softwood acted as
secretary.
Chairman Highkicker in calling the meet
ing TO order brought his cane down on the
floor with bang that alarmed the younger
"Kicllers" and said:
Gentlemen this thing has gone far enough.
If we kickers don's kick high We are left
and the other fellows will build those railroads
dead sure. | know the railroads are
good thing and just what this town needs,
but we must kick unless we have some hand
in the work. 1t is possible and even likely
they may get in their work and leave US out
in the cold, but We must make bluff any
way, and try and make the people believe
the whole thing is fraud. OF course these
roads would benefit us all, but it is our bus
insss to make the people think not. would
ike to hear from some of the intellectual
gentlemen present Oh the subject. When
Hghkicker concluded there was IA round of
applause, and it was evident he had hit
responsive chord in the gizzlrds Of all the
kickers present.
Charlie Obstruction then came forward
with "A grim smile and said: G.uls-it
don't strike me as if these railroad. were the
proper thing myself. Now if the fellows
who are going on with these roads will take
US in a. directors and do the business them
selves, for one will support the propo-
sition.
Mr.. Joseph Phool was the next speaker
am well aware said Mr.. Phool that if We
kickers don't kick together and obstruct
these railroad projects we never can hope
for any recognition in any project that may
be set on foot in this city
and if we can't be something
ourselves, why l am willing to be one of the
dogs in the manger, neither do anything my
self nor let any one else do it.
Several other speeches TO the same effect
were made BY different gentlemen Of recog-
nized kicking qualities, and on mott on a
committee consisting of Poker Joe, Billy
Blatherskite and Tom Damphool were APP
pointed to go around among the people and
talk against votingbonds for the railroads.
The meeting then adjourned after passing
vote of thanks to the chairman.

BELLE PLANE TO KINGMAN


A gentleman who came in from Conway
Springs yesterday morning, said that town
was jubilant in consequence of four gangs of
graders having just arrived there consisting
of large force of men and teams, all ready
TO go 10 work on the ID. NJ. Il a. This
gentleman said that no railroad project ever
puzzled him as much as this one. He talked
with the vice-prcsident and with the con-
tractors and they all said the contract Was
let from Belle Plaine TO kingman, but not a
word is said about any other part of the
road. He couldn't see the object of road
from Belle Plaine to Kingman and he thinks
there must be a nigger in the fence some
where. He asked where they were to re-
ceive their supplies and if the Santa Fe was
to furnish them, but could get no satisfac
tion on that point. There does seem to be
little mystery about that road.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

\ railroad accident in which happily no
one was hurt occurred at the Y Wednes-
day evening. The section foreman at An
dover was in town with his gang and Were
going home with lot of provender on the
hand-car. As they reached the south part
of the Y the work train on the Frisco came
suddenly down on them and before they
could get the car off the track or turn the
switch the engine was upon them. They
jumped of the car and were just able to get
out of the way when the engine struck the
hand-c car, knocking it galley west and max
ing bacon and water welons fly in all direc-
tons The hand-car was, of course, smash
ed up completely but no other damage WAS

A prominent Sedgwick county farmer
thus sums up the crop Weld: Wheat, largely
a failure; oats. big crop; esriy corn, ;hir-
ty-iive 10 forty bushels per acre; late corn.
badly cut. yield about twenty-five bushels
per acre. If this estimate is correct the
prospect is worse than anyone has sntic-
ipa,ed, as most of the corn was planted late
in this county. We are not inclined to &C
cept this estimate because unless the lss; ten
days have produced a big chsnge in the sp-
psarsncs Of corn the yield win ST leass be
double that OF his estimate, both in early
and late corn.

There is more work going on in this
town than any place have seen since left
Michigan" said mechanic who had trav-
eied all the way from Bay City looking for
work, surely fellow ought to get a job
here" He was seen afterwards in CONVEX
sation with contractor who told him there
was lots of work to do here but there were
lots of men to do it. Probably no other
city of its size in the United States has as
many working men as Wichita. During the
summer there is plenty of work for all of
them, but in winter when building is sus-
pended good many of those who have
families to support will experience consider
able trouble to make ends meet.

SUBURBAN GROWTH.

The building growth of Wichita has been
for the post two years so great in all direc-
tions from the commercial area, that one
might suppose no further additions would
be found profitable for years, nevertheless
hardly week passes that some new plat is
not laid out and filed in the clerks office.
Less than two years ago the writer landed
in Wichita and next day took general
stroll about the city. At that time the resi-
dence area was included between Oak street
on the north, English street on the south,
the Santa Fe track on the east and the Ar
kansas river on the west The buildings be-
yond these boundaries were few indeed and
in many places within these bounds build
ings were somewhat scattering. In Hyde
& FerrelPs addition in the north,
in Garrison's addition in the
northwest, and Greiffenstein's two
additions in the northwest there was not
building. Now there is dense population
in al these localities extending over mile
in any direction beyond the then suburbs.
hla scStioh noouiOs III uIt HUNTS, well
graded streets and boulevards. There were
but few houses east of the Santa Fe,
then. Now East Wichita is thickly settled
and the street cars rnn nearly mile east of
the Santa Fe depot, end thickly settled
district-then a common, reaching away
down mile south of the avenue, is also
thickly settled. AT the time spoken of there
were but two houses south of the Wichita
and Western railway, and English's,
Zimmerley's and Fitzgerald's ad
ditions were wild lands Now the
street cars run about two miles south Of
Douglas avenue on Main street among fine
residences and beautiful homes, and on one
street two or three stores. The transforma-
ton in the two years named have seldom
been equaled in any other city and still
there is no let up. More additions are being
laid off and a greater number of fine busi-
ness houses being built at the present time
than at any other period of her existance,
and this boom will from all indications con-
tinue until this is city of 10000 people
In this connection We forgot to say what
has been done on the west side of the river
where small town by itself has been built.
