IN COURT.

Squire Thomas had field day yesterday.
Harry Sullivan was up for indecent assault
on little girl named Matte Godfrey. The
parties belong in the Fifth ward. Sullivan
paid $50 and costs
The chief amusement of the day, however,
was in the case of Susan johnson against
Tom Whitney. The contestants are both
colored and of lawful age Aunt Susan
deposed that Tom had been pasturing on the
southeast quarter of section Z, range north,
of her corn cake until he was in arrears s24
for grub, but Tom declared just as positively
that the amount due was only S14. Neither
had kept any account and couldn't if they
had tried, and neither employed a lawyer
Susan said, ''Now Tom remember yes a
guine ter die Now 10 God don't you know
it is S24" Uncle Tom intimated that he felt
sure of dying but was just as sure that he
didn't owe but &l4. They had no witnesses
and just argued the case with each other be
fore the judge. They paid but little attention
to the court however, but talked at each
other and expected the court to decide the
argument The court knew no more about
the case when they got through than he did
when they began and he continued the case
until the old woman could get some evidence
They continued to argue the case as they
walked out of the court

THE REMEDY.

IN conversation with reporter yesterday,
the county attorney unfolded his plan for
Kidding the city of those dangerous crooks.
burglars. skins and all that element. His
plan is to run them out of the houses of pros
titution, gambling houses and skin shops and
joints. Whenever a new man comes here to
open joint, fire him out and keep after
them until they are driven out of the city,
then the police can keep watch of all the
new men Said he: II would be in favor of
employing a good detective, a stranger, from
some reliable agency and pay him good
wages. In that way we could get evidence
against crooks" He says the police are a
very competent body but they are too well
known, and in a city of this size there ought
to be at least one detective. He intends to
close out all the most diSreputable joints and
in this way the thing will be kept pretty
quiet at least, and wherever any tough char
acters are allowed to congregate that place
must go.

the idea of putting the fire out of E. Cahert

end of the second hose. They went to work
accordingly and about that time the latter
gentleman thought most of the fire was in
the direction of the former SO they went to
work also They finally put the fire out but
it was the general verdict of the crowd that
they did not get wet and it was lucky it was
that way.
A large and enthusiastic crowd soon gath

THE ANGELIC VISITATION,

THE ANGELIC VISITATION.
As sat at my door looking out at the night
A bright angle saw, with pinions of light;
It stopped in mid air and stretched out bless
hands
Over the spot where fair Wichita stands
Crying 80, place blessed by God and natural
resources,
May naught ever stay thy bright onward
course:
May the fame Of thy greatness continue to
rise.
Like a pean of joy to thine own smiling
Skies
May the fame of thy glory forever resound,
As the place where Gods poor have happy
homes found:
Where earth yields her treasure to all who
come:
And they need not sigh more for their lost
Eden home.n
This night l have come from the region
above:
Winging my way ON a mission of love
That your hearts dearest wish to me be told
Which. returning, Ill bear to the city of
Godn
Then she waved bright wand over valley
and city.
That all conld not see it 7 think was PITY
And the wish the wish of each heart in one
wild refrain.
Rose loud on the air, ''Give us rain; give us
ranr'
''Give us rain give us rain to ripen our grain
That our labors and hopes be not spent in
vain
Give rs rain to rid the air of this heat;
Give us rain TO lay the dust of the treet"
Then the angel waved its pinions so bright
And returned with joy to the City of Light.
Crying, THE glory of Wichita never shall
wane'
On the just and the unjust God will send
rain"
