Minneapolis. can boast. of about as
many characters" among. her. street
"fakirs" as any city in the United
States. In fact, nearly every one of the
whole tribe is a character i'll bis or her
way, but the number who have become
prominent i'll one way: or another. is
truly remarkable. 10 begin with,
there is, John, the Red Hat Man,
Rain or shine, cold or warm, he. can a l.
ways be found at his post on Washing
ten avenue, standing close beside his
can of saUsageS and loaf of bread, ready
to serve hungry persons at 5 cents per
serve. He is as familiar character
here as many-a more wealthy man, and
the people who would miss him were he
to disappear for "a day or SO, are too nu-
merouS to mention.
Pop Corn Smith is another man more
or less known to the people of Mime
apolis. He is familiar figure, with his
Old black felt hat and big basket of
pop corn in paper bags Slung around his
neck. There never. was a more good
natured man. nor more accommodating
one, and should man who has ever
bought a package OF the Succulent pop
corn from him, find himself broke or in
need of corn, he can rest assured that
he will not be passed by with cold,
stony stare. His hours are from any
time during the afternoon until about
Or 2 in the morning, when he disapE
pears, no one knows where.
Then there Is old Hannah Elder
sticken. the witeh-like being, who APP
proaches you, leaning upon cane and
bent nearly double, and thrusts beg
giilg letter into your face. She has been
here ever since the oldest inhabitant
can remember. and of late the suspicion
has gained ground that she is the s'She''
of Haggard's novel bythat name. Those
who claim to know something OF the
woman state that she has laid up vast
amount of money, the profit of her beg
ging trips during the last few years.
No one ever refuses to answer her APP
peal, and the poor beings harvest is
generally rich one.
The blind German and his hand organ
puts in an appearance in Minneapolis
about May Is every year and remains
here until the weather begins to get
decidedly chilly. Then the musician
suddenly disappears, leaving it mys-
terry as to where he has gone. During
the past season it was noticed that his
baud organ was sadly out of repair,
and that when he began to play Mol
lie Darling" it sounded like the chant-
ing of a requiem for some lost soni.
Bnt the people of this berg are used
to such things, and it is fair to presume
that the mand and the hand organ will
show up here again next year and do
business at the old stand. .
The dirty, cross-eyed young man, who.
peddles suspenders OH Mnotlet avenue,
is something of a novelty, he never
having. been in Minneapolis before until
last summer. His appearance is not at
all prepossessing, and a person cannot
fully understand how he ever manages
to sell any of mis- wares. Yet, sell them
he does. No one knows where he
sleeps. OF where he eats, and, if his per-
sonal appearance goes for anything, 10
one wants to.

and arms is another object well calcn-
lated to excite the sympathieS of all
passers-by. His favorite stand is on the
suspension bridge. in the shadows of
one Of the piers. There he sits for
hours at time, bareing his arms
to the elbows, so that pedestrians may
see how he is wasted away, and gazing
into every ones face with a mute APP
peal for aid. He has not been around
his usual haunts for some days, but
there is no danger of his staying away
long. for Minneapolis is too good town
to let go of.
This is but sample of the characters.
One might go on and enumerate them
all night, but what's the use. It's the
same old story of misery and deformity.

ss.There is magic in the sound
TO shiverings humanity. "The
first breeze that comes sweep
ing from the North will bring
to our ears the clash" --of
ehattering teeth and a forci-
BILE reminder that life is not
worth living without a plen-
tiful supply Of bedclothing.
One of these mornings some
body is going to wake up to
find the thermometer on the
shady side Of zero, and not
enough covering ON the bed to
keep warm. Is it you? Don't
blame us. We put in that
Windowful to rem nd you Of
what you need.
We have q right to brag
about our Comforts and
Blankets and Flannels. We
ought to have the best things
for the money to be found,
and we believe we have. Our
orders are placed with the
other houses OF the Syndicate
Trading Company, whose
combined purchase is proba-
bly, ten to twenty times as
large as the purchase Of all
the Dry Goods houses OF this
city together, and, as the size
OF a purchase is what deter
mines price, we defy compe-
tition. The only thing we
have to say about our low
priced Comforts and Blankets
is that they are the best val
ue procurable for the money.
They are here because they
supply a demand. Let us
skip. everything in Comforts
below $3.50. Here. we have
an extra heavy, very hand

larry good value. Then comes

super-excelIent quality of
fine Twill Figured Turkey
Red at So, very soft and
every way desirable. Per-
feet beauties in Saline at
$3.50, and SO on up to 1915.
Our Cheese Cloth Comforts
inleream and colors, and tuft-
eds.in eoIops, have elected no
little praise. Our Elder Down
Comforts from $3.50 up are
marvels Of beauty and value.
Very handsome Satine-Cov-
ered Pillows from $1.35 to So
each. The best quality Of

We have also at $2.15 a pair
the greatest bargain in Pill
lows we ever saw. Blankets,

desirable eolors, all prices up
to $40 a pair, and not a dear
one in the lot, unless it is the
cheapest, and cheap Blankets
are always dear to our way of
thinking. You can rely on
getting the most for your
money here, whatever you
buy.

augmented by at least twenty more as soon
as it becomes known that place Of wor-

Us. The building viii be formally opened
for public services next Sunday, April Is.

our pastor, DR.. D. W. Phillips, who is so
well known 10 the people OF Wichita we
expect to grow and in the near future to
erect an editice that will represent the

JOINT RAID,

The joint raid was kept up Yesterday
with vengeance and almost every place
which had not yet been visited was given
a call by the police force. Officer Dennis
found a resort on North Main and marched
proprietor and clerk down to the police
station.
In the evening East Douglas appeared to
be the favored community. Jim Creigh-
tons place was pulled and the clerk taken
into custody. Another place at No. COS
but recently opened, was raided, and in it
was found Bob True. He denied being
the owner and upon finding the proprietors
was discharged. These two men gave the
names of Weaver and Jentry; they were
both locked up in the city prison and their
stock in trade con1iscated.
Last night about Il o'clock Officers Vic
Haynes and George Dennis visited the
cigar parlors on North Main When they
left the place they were accompanied by
the two proprietors and all looked dark
and gloomy behind them.

UNITY CLUB.

At the meeting of the Unity club last
evening there was some difficulty in find
ing sufficient chairs TO accommodate the
! people who were present. The exercises
were of delightful interest throughout.
Miss Louise Gray gave the opening
number, a piano solo, which was excel
lently executed and was well appreciated.
Mr.. w. i. Gritty followed with a didac
tic prose poem on Dinah Morris and early
Methodism. Then Miss Alice Oyerstreet
recited Cartons THE Settlers Story, -
with charming ease and touching pathos
Miss Clara Dunbar sang an exquisite
solo to her own accompaniment, which
succeeded by a chorus of applause.
Then there was an intermssion of some
ten minutes for sociability and acquaint-
anceship sake. The Unity Club has
demonstrated the fact that people can
be sociable and spend delightful evening
over a thoughtful book as successfully as
over pack of thoughtless cards Or a
thoughtless shaking of the feet.
When the program was resumed Miss
Marie Mathis read thoughtful pene-
trating analysis of the character adam
Bede" BY request Miss Dunbar favored
the club with another solo, after which
some minutes were allowed for general
discussion of the book, the author, her
style, her object and her influence.
Mrs. Sandifor, a recent conner to Wichita.
made a pleasing tribute 10 George Eliot as
an author, which was greeted with round
of applause. The discussion was quite
general and showed that the papers on the
previous reading of the book had provoked
thought and differences of opinion.
Anna karenina Tolstoi's masterpiece
was chosen for the subject of the papers
and for discussion at the next meeting but
one. AT the next meeting, which occurs
in two weeks, the subjects OF study are

A vETERN REAL ESTATE MAN.

Mr.. E. Burdick, of Madison. Wisconsin,
uncle of Fred Bently, Esq, is in the city.
He has been in the real estate business at
Madison forty-five years, and says that
prior to his visit to Wichita he supposed he
knew something OF the business, but now
he is reasonably sure that he was badly
mistaken. He thinks an average western
dealer knows more of the business than the
best OF fasteners.
Being real estate man he has the eye
for city at least to size up a town readily
Referring TO Wichita of course, he did not
expect TO see such a city, nor was he pre-
pared to see Kansas the great common
wealth it is.
Mr. Burdick will leave in few days for
the City Of Mexico

ABBREVIATED TRIP.

Mr.. Wiley Bleakmore has returned from
his visit to Denver and Salt Lake City, go
ing no farther west than Pueblo lie
would have taken in the Mormon burg,
but saw too many people coming away and
got his information much cheaper than by
going farther. The Salt Lake effort, he
seems to be of the opinion, has lost its
breath and the pumping process will not
revive it.
Returning. he editorializes to the effect
that Kansas and Wichita are good enough
for him. Going through the western part
OF the state he found the country in excel
lent condition. The large acreage of wheat
shows promise never equalled outside the
state The farmers are busy planting and
as would be expected are quite happy over
the fine prospects.
