They accepted the situation very quietly
and bore the intrusion with their usual
hospitality, making every one feel that
though unlimited they were none the less
welcome. Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps came
from their home in the Adirondacks II
home. Ever ready to help in times of
need; kind, genial and hospitable strong
advocates of right and ready to put down
the wrong, they have won for themselves
warm place in the hearts of their neigh
bors and friends, who came from near
and far to take them by the hand, offer
congratulations and spend with them a
few social hours, believing tina. such
gatherings strengthen kindly feeling and
bind us more closely to each other.
Bountiful refreshments were served by
the ladies and the hours flew by upon
eagles wings, warning us that this, like
all things else, must end; all too soon
came the time to say goodbye. The
guests left with Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps a
nice easy-chair as slight token of their
esteem.
The executive committee of the Addi-
son County Temperance society held a
meeting for consultation at the Y. NJ. c..
A. rooms on Monday. There were pres
ent Rev. NJ. G.. Stebbins of Cornwall,
Rev. w. NJ. Mayhem of Whiting, Mrs.
Clinton Smith and j. f. Crane of Middle
bury, F. Z. Stewart and Ira j. Twitchell
of Weybridge and NJ. A. Thomas of Sal
isbury. Rev. Mr.. Stebbns presided and
Mr.. Thomas was made secretary. Mr..
Stebbins brought up the question of the
utility of liquor agencies, in which he
had little faith. Mr.. Stewart believed in
them, but Mr.. Crane thought the sales
should be restricted. Other aspects of
the matter were talked over, particularly
the practicability of enforcing the laws
for the suppression of illegal sales.
Mr.. Stebbins thought agitation was
needed. Mr.. Stewart introduced this
resolution, which was adopted, "That
the w. c. T. U. of this county be request
ed to take steps for the regular examina-
ton of the books of the various liquor
agencies in the county and report to the
commissioner such matters as in theil
Judgment require. his attention" On mo-
ton of Mr.. Stewart the president, vice.
president, secretary and chairman of the
executive committee of the society were
made a committee to arrange for temper
ance meetings in various parts of the
county,

AN INTERESTING AND PROFITABLE MEET
ING.
The first winter meeting of the Addi-
son County Colt-Trotting association was
held on the ice of Otter Creek at this
place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of this week. The races were at
first set for the last week in February,
but had to be postponed two weeks on
account of thaw that softened the ice.
This week, however, the ice was in first
class condition and the weather was per-
feet. The interest in the events was
shown by the attendance, which was
large. Among those here were not only
the prominent horsemen of the county
and vicinity, but also numbers from
across the lake, from Rutland, Brandon,
Burlington and few from New York
city.
But one race was trotted on Tuesday
that for horses that had never started in
any race. There were three starters

WATER RACKET.

The water W orks company reports having
supplied the city on an average last week
with over five million gallons of water per
day. This the superintendent, Mr.. Ans
bury, seems to think a rather large pro-
proportion for the patrons of the company
and must necessarily call for consldera-
bic amount of waste. The station has a
capacity of sixty millions which insures
that they are quite able to supply the de-
mand, but the average amount to each
customer is much greater than that shown
by any other city operated in the Ameri-
can water works company. There seems
20 be no reason offered why Wichita
should not exceed all others of her size in
the consumption OF the aqua pura, but the
amount is so much larger than the register
of other cities that they are investigating
the matter. Open hose all night seems to
be a topic for a kick. So long as it's being
watched it is pronounced perfectly legitl-
mate. 1t is sometimes attempted to cool
the brick blocks by iEdulging in open fau-
Gets but this system of invoking rest
and sleep is said to be in violation OF the
Interests, of the water company.
1t is understood that the water company
is induging in the luxury of few cold
water detectives to look after the retail
waste of its commodity. The reports are
being made, lectures aud rules being dlshed
out to the transgressors, and a repetition
finds something turned down on him Gre
atng a stoppage in the water flow. 1t is
also intimated that the neighbors. if they
insist on being neighbors. will be cared for
in a way yet 20 be made known.

AN UNFoRTUNATE OCCURRENCE.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Burrows
went up TO the car works and brought
down TO headquarters a little l3-year-old
girl, charged with having stolen gold
watch from the pocket Of a vest left hang
ing by guest at the hotel in which the
child had been employed She brought the
watch down town and pawned it for %
with Mr. Charles Mossbacker. the jeweler,
who, believing it to have been stolen. got
possession of it in that way and
Immediately notified the police.
But before the girl could he found she had
spent every cent for clothes. etc, at the
Boston store When the matter was ec
planned the proprietor readily agreed 70
give back the money when the goods were
returned. The officer went u the parents
of the girl, who are in poor circumstances,
and told the child's mother he wanted the
goods. The woman took the bundle OF
goods into an adjoining room 70 tie them
up again, but when it was checked up at
the store the bundle was found TO be
about 81 short.
The watch belonged TO the Methodist
minister and was returned 70 him The
child viii not be prosecuted and says she
found the watch. Her name IS withheld
in the hope that this may prove valuable

POLITICS BEGINNING TO BOIL.

The political pot is beginning TO simme
| little Since the Democratic fiasco wnen
they made such poor stagger at ratify-
ing the St Louis nominations, they have
done nothing in the way of ''ratifying, y
but haye confined themselves strictly TO
the business of arranging for doing mis-
sionary work" among their wavering
brethren and the Republican ranks, and
preparing for distributing nothing but
the right sort of simon pure, unauthorized
free trade literature. In connection with
this they have discussed the matter OF
''waysand means for conducting the cam
paign.
For while seriously discussed plan
for Mr.. c. 5. Ebey to conduct his cam
pagn against the fates. in the person Of
Congressman Sam Peters, was that Mr..
Ebey, follow the example of the tradi-
tional Democratic candidate for congress,
who some years ago, made the canvass OF
his district on a ''buckb0ard,' upon the
sides of which he had his name and can
diIacy displayel in flashing letters. Some
of Mr. Els effervescent political pilots
actually tried TO steer him onto the
reefs. by attempting such plan
for the campaign, but he did not
take very well to the plan
and did little bucking himself. Mr..
Ebey might attract great attention by such
a campaign over thirty-seTen counties +,
but he would be making too late start TO
commence now. He should have begun
that sort OF a canvass for this falls cleo
ton about the time he arrived IN the state
in order 10 have finished Then serious
objection TO the scheme was found ID the
fact that Mr.. Ebey's physique IS such that
he could not stand so much rid
ing, and would before the end OF
the campaign find himself in the
condition OF the tramp who tried to steal a
ride from san Francisco TO Omaha but
was kicked off at every station until he
got as far as Cheyenne, when, from
being worn out-in part-he had TO aban-
don the nest of the trip. However, that
will be his fix, no matter how he travels
through the campaign

answer was received y eh gave
complete account OF the distribution of an
English estate of SOS 000,00 of which
Mrs Johnston is entitled to one fifty
.ourth 1t gave the full line Of descent
and the amount received by each relative.
While Mrs. Johnston is an English lady
by descent and quite anxious to fall heir te
UGH a handsome amount, she was quite
sure she was not the one interested. The
letters also sta ed that she was last heard
from in Wichita. and it was feared that it
would be no little trouble to find her
This statement created the suspicion that
the Mrs Johnston desired might live in
the city and the letter failed to reach the
proper one. Accordingly letter was
written to Mrs. Emma E. Johnston and
lett in tie postoffice, asking her
TO call on the lady having
received the letter On Monday last a
Mrs Johnston appeared, and on inquiry
named a number OF her relatives coincid-
ing with the information in the letter. In
answer to questions she showed herself as
knowing all of the Johnston family made
known by the New York agent. She is a
lady who has lived about nine miles south
of the city for a number of years. Her
husband engaged in farming with very
Moderate success. They had moved there
soon after coming from England and were
expecting at some time TO receive some
thing, but scarcely expected that it would
have the magnificent proportions Of over
four million dollars.
The lacy was very much elated over the
news and could not thank the one OF the
same name enough for the Interest she had
shown in getting the information.
The second letter stated that the
necessary arrangements for payment of
her share of the estate would be COM
pleted between the fifteenth Of July and
the first of August. The lady desired ad-
vised the agent of her whereabouts and she

SEDGWICK COUNTY PRICES.

One of the best prize obtained for farm
ing lands for some time was that reported
to Judge Thomas of the probate court
yesterday, being the sale by an admins
traitor of portion an estate near COlwich
this county. The land is described as 100
acres, being the northwest quarter section
of section twenty. township twenty-six,
range two west The price paid was $500,
all cash Considering the fact, that there
were no Improvements, worth mentioning
and also the slack condition of the market
the price is a remarkably good one, but on
that basis yields an excellent interest on
the investment. Only few years, that
land was Gespise government land at a
dollar and quarter an acre. Such is
