THE ILLUSTRATED REVIEW

The proposed work Of the Enterprise
Publishing Company, which is being gotten
up in the interes: of Wichits, will prove
very valuable to our interests as q city and
as q people. 1t differs so widely from all
ordinary advertising schemes and catch
penny jobs and is altogether in such an
attractive form, that it will not only catch
the attention but hold the interest Of every
one into whose hands it may happen to fall.
OF course no ordinary sized town could war
rant so great work and expenditure OF
money because nothing is charged for the
matter or for the illustrations. Cities OF
twenty-five thousand are few in which il
will pay to publish such review. Kansas
City and Memphis secured the advantage,
and they were the only two towns in this
section of the west The business houses
and interests of Topeka and the other larger
towns in the state were enumerated, but
found insufficient in number and magnitude,
and the company did not even under the
circumstances propose the scheme. But
there is o;,ly one Wichita

A HAPPY OCCASION.

June 2Stb, being the 9th birthday of j.
E. Coulter, few of his friends thought to
celebrate the occasion by giving him sur
prise, which they proceeded to do by gather
ing at bis residence. 240 West Topeka Ave
nue., at about o'clock in the evening. At
ter q few moments spent in social chat, Mr..
Hatfield, the speaker of the OCCASION. invited
Mr.. Coulter to occupy the seat OF honor,
and in q neat speech presented him with
some of the essentials of life. That We will
not name here Also fine plush covered
rocking chair, in which TO rest himself in
his declining years. Mra. Coulter, the wife
of the host, proved herself equal to the
occasion by providing refreshments The
following is list of the company present
Hon. r. Hatfield and wife, c. S. Caldwell
and wife. A. w. Sickner and wife, Rev. A.
E. Garrison and wife, Z. b. Phillio and

After spending a very pleasant evening
the guests all wished the host and hostess
many happy occasions of this kind and de-
parted. Mr.. Coulter and wife will cherish

years to come, not so much for the presents
as for the friendship. loye and esteem of

Our Great Carpet Sale Continues
at the New York
Store.
The SO.Called Honest Man Hurt.

The honest man states that he cannot tell
q lie. Yet he says there is no new carpets
fresh from the loom outside of New York
City.
Simply because he is not large enough to
attend the Big Manufactures Auction sales
that take place annually in the great CONNER
cial center, but has to content himself by
purchasing from jobbers.
Marshall, Field & Co. and other large
dealers were there and bought. Mr.. M.
Kohn bought for his three stores at the same
sale.
AS all know, even if the so-called honest
man does not, all Carpets for Fall and Winter
Trade are on the looms in the Spring and
Summer months. 81 i the honest man has
not new Carpets he must have old ones.
One word more to the Honest Man: -
We were never Home Brigadier General
in the late npleasantness-o only high priv
|ate-but in this Carpet War, we are in the
front rank. We have the largest and best
stock in the city--ALl FRESH FROM THE LOOMS.
Our great sale consists of 5000 YARDS OF
TAPESTRY BRUSSELS. and every Carpet pur-
chased will be made and laid free of extra
charge. We, are not egotistical; we do not
say we are the only honest man: we do not
brag on our honesty neither do we permit
our clerks to state that the Carpets of other
houses are moth-eaten, when they know it
to be bare-faced LIE.
we only ask purchasers to attend our
Carpet Sales and we will prove these facts.

KILLED BY A1RA1n.

Last Sunday the body of . stranger was
found on the Frisco line . short distance
west Of Butler county. It vas lying on the
track horribly mangled, both legs cut of
and bead terribly crushed.
He was about FIVE feet and seven inches
high, weighed one hundred and forty
pounds and was between % and 30 years
old. He had sandy hair and wore light
mustache. He wore dark jeans pants, blue
shirt, scar sucker coat, vest and straw
hat. His clothes were in good order
and his appearance suggested that he was .
man Of good family. Only two cents, how
ever, were found on his person. When the
body WAS found coroner J. w. Wingard
was notified and responded as soon as DOS
sible. He examined everything in connec-
ton with the case as closely as possible but
could gain no knowledge of him, as no pa
pers could be found of any sort. 1t is sup
posed that he was killed by the east bound
passenger train about 9 o'clock at night.
He had evidently been dead several hours
when found.
A lady in Andover relates story that
may throw some light on the subject. She
was on the train by which it was supposed
the man was killed. She says the train
slowed up when about the place the man
YVES killed, and something of an exciting
nature occurred in the smoking car. which
in front of the Pullman which she was in.
Some one came in shortly after this and
stated that the conductor had put some one
off the train. She thought no more of il
however, until she heard of body being
found in that vicinity.
She also states that the conductor
appeared nervous and excited after thAt. II
is not the custom for the train to stop At
Andover unless there is some one to get of
or get on. As there was no one to get on
he let the tain 60 past the station before he
recalled the fact that the lady wss to stop at
that station. When he thought of it he
asked the lady in an excited manner il her
ticket called for Andover. His name is
Parsons.
The coroner, after taking in all the cir
cumstances, seems to suspect that the man
was forced to abandon the car. He has dats
from which is basel his suspicious that can
not be given at present 1t is hoped, how
ever, that what hiss been said will result in
bringing to light more evidence concerning
how the unfortunate came to his death.
He was buried Monday at Andover.

ANOTHER CHURCH.

The EAGLE sometime ago noticed propo-
sition to build q Congregational church in
the south part of town. A meeting in that
interest was held last night, when the plans
were submitted and committee appointed
to raise means for that purpose. The church
is to be located on South Topeka avenue,
one half block south of the Wichita Il
Western, and the cost is not to exceed $1,000.
Mr.. W. l.. McBee showed the reporter
the plans last evening, and if the church is
built after these, it will certainly be a very
neat edifice, with a seating capacity of
about 500.
n. A. English, w. L. McBee and Thos
A. Bayley were appointed q committee TO
solicit means, who will be assisted by Rev.
T. z. Saunders, who has been appointed
pastor of the church.
Another meeting in this connection will
be held next Tuesday evening.

CITY PARLIAMENT.

Not satisAed with their short session
night before last, the council held IN i'd
journed meeting yesterday. afternoon for the
purpose Of locating the electric lights over
the city, and they will meet for other bust
ness tonight. Thus it will be seen that our
representatives intend to earn their 81 per
year.
They called the meeting yesterday only q
meeting of the committee on lights. but
nearly all the council were there as well as
all the electric light men.
After great deal of dickering they got
things fixed in a way that will make THU
the best lighted city this side Of Constsnti'
nople. Each of the two electric light com.
panies are to have eighteen lights located al
follows:
Schuyler: Two lights on the West Side
at the corner of Chicago avenue and Wes'
streets, corner of Chicago avenue and Gal
streets.
On this side of the river, at the corner o
Orme and Wate, streets, intersection o
Orme and Main streets, Orme and Marke
streets, Orme and Lawrence, Topeka. En-
poria and Fourth avenues. At the inter
section of Douglas avenue and Lulu, Ida
Mosley, Fifth, Fourth, Emporia, Topeka ant
Lawrence avenues, and at the intersection o
Douglas avenue and Market street. Total
eighteen.
The Thompson & Houston lights are dis
tributed as follows: One in the alley be
tween their plant and Douglas avenue
one at the intersection OF Dougla
avenue and Water street, one on Dougla
and Main, and at the intersection OF the fol
lowing streets: Main and First. Main ant
Second, Main and Third, Fourth and Cen
trail avenue, Central avenue and Wichita
Central avenue and Main, Central avenue
and Emporis, Central avenue and Fifth
Elm and Lawrence avenue, Pine and Tcpe
ka avenue, Oak and Waco avenue. Oak ant
Main and Oak and Fifth avenue and Secont
and Wichita street. This seems to be pretty
judicious distribution, although there seem
to be an awful lot of kicking, especially on tn
part OF the electric light fellows. All tn
gas lamps and posts will be removed from
Douglas avenue ard Main street, then thing
will look little better.

There is very hard story among the boys
on the Santa Fe road to the effect that .
dead man vas found in the ash pan Of one
Of the engines running between Topeka and
Newton. No ore seems to know how he
got there and no one has been reported miss
ing. 1t may be that some tramp got in there
to take ride, but how he got into the ash
pan Is the MYSTERY, and it will probably re-
