their efforts TO make Wichita a financial
center a. well as commercial The num-

THE PEAK FAMILY

Gave one of their very pleasant enter
tainments at the Garfield opera house last
evening to very good and appreciative
audience. They are truly musical fam
lily. On account of the warm weather,
and preferring Wichita to some of their
dates, they have decided to stop over till
Monday and give entertainments Fri
and Saturday evenings and reduce prices
to &c and 80 cents. We predict for them
two full houses, as they surely deserve.
The Garfield had good ventilation and
was about as cool "a place as was to be
found last night.

NOT INFALLIBLE.
ACase of Mistaken Judgment.
Epitor San Antonio LIGHT:

Epitor San Antonio LIGHT:
The verbose and gar"uous scrlbhler. who
aligned himself american" to column OF
vain boosting of his pet candidate, in the
Express, is evidently person VINO en-
ttrtains as exalted an estimate or MS own
keenness shrewdness, and humor. as he does
of his pets qualifications for office, and II Is
with some pangs of regret that we feel called
upon to request him TO step down from the
pedestal of his self arrogated omiscience ana
ponder over the following evidence OF the raj
libility Of his Judgment and perceptiVe pow
ers.
In phrases savoring strongly of the odor OF
the pen that scrawled the billingsgate against
the Goth legislature. he attempts to demon
stratehis own superior intelligence, by declar-
ing that two articles, which seem TO nave
awakened some responsive chords In MS nehrt
were not written by the same person; IN tnls
he errs. He also, by a system OF logic, teem
ing with vicarious rhapsOdies on his own per
sonal sagacity, asser ts that the writer Is an
ex.ofiice holder a present Office seeker; in this
he also errs; the writer never held an once
does not seek an office, never did seek one,
and does not aspire to hold one.
We regret the necessity OF thus nlpplng IN
the bud the prophetic aspirations OF TINS
youthful aspirant to literary fame, ana we
he follow the suggestion of David Garrick,
and be sure he's right before he goes ahead
If in his capacity as hired mourner, he sees NJ
to indulge in platitudeS. and in laudatlons OF
his candidate, all we have 10 say is Jet MN
rim" Wewi!l not attempt to fathom the mo-
den meaning of such verbal monstrosltles as
''momentarily veracious," or the stainless
ness of a BOSOM" but we will say to this youth
for his edification, although II is painful to
undeceiye him, that with all his confidence,
he. like other mortals can be mistaken.

time long past in the history of the Christian
world this night has been coTmemorated by
the aging of all sorts OF practical jokes by

the suspicious occasion to try their fortunes
and peep into the future to see what sly Cupid
has in store for :hem.
Tomorrow All Saints Day will be duly OBJ
served by the churches. especially the Episco-
pal and Catholic churches, and all the saints
are honored, especially those who have no fix
