CUPID CAUSES TROUBLE.

4 man who has been employed at the
Garfield university as a Waterman got
into trouble yesterday by allowing the
tender passion TO set too much of sway
over his mind.
The object of the wstchman's affections
was a good looking damsel living at the
corner OF Second and Market He was
several times given TO understand that his
passion was not reclprocated, but he was
still as persistent as ever in his attentions.
AT last he was told TO go, without any
ceremony. This so infamed him that it
is stated he made quite play with his
gun" The girl, as well as her mother and
sister were so frightened by this demon
stration that they sent for policeman.
Officer Dennis came and arrested the man
and put him in the city prison. Here he
was kept for short time; but in the after
noon was released, his gun having been
taken from him for fear that he might
injure himself or someone else.

UNITY CLUE ENTERTAINMENT.

The Unity club, which is gaining much
popularity as literary organization of
the city, held one of their regular literary
entertainments at the Sons of Herman hall
last night The good that is being done
by these literary organizations cannot be
estimated, as the enthusiasm shown by
the members of the Unity club proves.
They take up an author and after familiar
ling themselves with him, discuss two or
three of his works, thus getting a clearer
conception of the subject matter. This
club is also noted for its talented member
ship, many of whom recite and read in Il
manner hard to excel.
Quite number of visitors were present
last evening, who expressed themselves as
having received a rare treat. The follow
ing program was rendered:
Miss Lulu Dewey.
Solo and Quartette 800 Hear Dem Bells
Mr. and Mrs. II. Child and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Phillips.
Miss Belle Slavin.
Critical Review. "Ivanhoe"
Mrs VI. +. Lease.

Mr.. BERTHE Slosser.
RECESS.
Instrumental Solo.......-...........
Old Black Joe Variations
Miss Lettie McNaughten.
Walter Scott as a Poet.
Mrs. ID. j. Chase.
After the program some business mat
tiers were attended to-
Then discussions on the following sub
jects were in order: What are novels?
Who should read novels? Should novels
do more than amuse? These subjects were
very ably handled by Messrs. Keenan, and
Howe and two or three of the ladies. Some
of the conclusions on the first proposition
are these: A novel is human thought; a
novel is something true but not natural or
historical. In answer to the second ques-
ton: any person who has the ability to
read understandingly, but he who would
read novel an hour now and then for the
sole purpose of killing that time, had bet
ter not read; novels should instruct as
well as amuse After these suggestions
and comments, a vote was taken on the
book for discussion at the next meeting;
the one selected is Woman Halter"
The audience was then favored with
quartette by Mr.. and Mrs. Child and Mr.
and Mrs Phillips-'True Heart FAREWELL
after which the meeting adjourned.

DRs. KETCHUM AND ROSS.

Drs Ketchum and Ross have removed
their office from the Morris building to
over Conly's drug store, No 22S North

ranged elegantly, and in manner especi-
ally adapted to the successful carrying on
of their rapidly increasing practice. They
have three consultation rooms, all of which
are completely fitted up with the require
ment for a successful medical examination
and treatment. Dr. ketchum and DR.
Ross are both men of experience as special

years in the practice of his profession. the
latter fer ten years besides having received
much valuable assistance from his father,
a noted specialist of Peoria, III. They are
specialists in the treatment of cancers,
tumors and all chronic diseases. All that
they ask for is fair trial and an oppor-
tunity to present their mode of treatment
to the suffering in order to convince all OF
its wonderful efficacy and success.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Open jail Bids and Consider Comparative
Merit-MIxed Bids But Low Figures.

.. The awarding Of contract to construct
the Jail was the leading ques-
ton around the county building yesterday.
The county commissioners spent the work
ing hours in their private room on the
second floor. The bids presented were
twelve in number but very few it is
alleged seem to have been made out with
any reference TO the advertisement. Some
seem to have been calculated on imaginary
plans, quite different from those received
by the board and on which it was supposed
bids were being prepared.
Two Jail building companies from Gin
cinnati are represented, one from st. Louis
and the others from the city. Most of the
bids call only for a part of the work;
taking a certain branch and placing
figure on it. According to
one of the commissioners, it
seems likely that if Jail is to be
built from the bids it viii be the result OF
the work of two or three firms.
The board spent the day figuring on the
bids. Each bid will be examined and ex-
planned by the one putting it in or repre-
sentative. The hallway next to the room
yesterday was usually occupied by some
contractors, with bright color in the face
and a sort of nervous movement, lndlcat-
ing more than usual interest at stake.
They seemed to be figuring more than
talking to each other One fellow would
take position on one side and figure with
the earnestness of an astronomer, and in
time come back to his partner or friend
and remark something about running
good chance for getting the contract, as he
was down low.
a member of the board was questioned
on the character of the bids and said that
they were much lower than he had ex-
pected to find. He thought they had been
figured very close and the county accord
ing to bids would get good Jail at low
figure. He said they wanted a Jail that
would be the finest thing of the kind in
the state, if not west of st. Louis. AS is
known the bid question not only deter
mines who Will erect the jail and the cost,
but also determines whose plans will be
accepted as between Dumont & Hayward
and St Louis firm. As learned some of
the bids called for much more money
than others; also giving much
better jail. If one of the bids
on the most costly plan is accepted it is
said that the jail will be without doubt
the finest in the state, and much better
than the one at Kansas City.
There seems to be little hopes of the
board coming to decision on the question
for some days While all concerned seem
anxious to have the question settled, it is
of such magnitude that the board seem in
clined to take their time and report after
due deliberation.

COMPARATIVE IMPORTATION.

Mr. L. B. Wells, of Pontiac, Michigan,
is in the city en- route home from CalifOr-
MA where he has been some months 1t
will be remembered that he was in the city
near a year ago and remained some weeks
with Pontiac friends and looking over the
southwest His talk about the Pacific
coast is quite interesting, especially when
comparison between that country and
Kansas is quite hattering to the latter.
He thinks city with a good country
around it, calling for business interests
that will make great city has much
better show TO become a truly great city
than where there is nothing of real value
to bring about business. He has spent
nearly two years travelling and collecting
data and drawing conclusions on the cities
prominently before the public as growing
and above the average in increase. Going
down the list alphabetically he says he
finds none with as bright past, none with
so prosperous present and none with so
bright future as the one down in the
''W" column known all over the world as
Wichita He makes the statement unre-
servedly and without any fears of meet
ing odmirers of the other states and cities.
Mr.. Wells will be in the city some time.

THE COCRTS.
POLICE COURT.

There was an unusually large amount OF
business up before his honor of the police
court yesterday but there was the same
lankness about the pocket book that has
been observable for some time in the I'M
fortunates who came before this tribunal.
Norman Burns the first drunk to be
brought up, paid his fine of s. and costs
and went away promising TO sin no more.
H. Gowen, Lee Thomas, L. F. Sellers,
Chauncey Church and Frank Washington
were all charged with the same offense;
of the lot but one, Church, could pay his
fine and keep himself from the stone pile.
a party of fraii and dusky damsels from
the Row were brought up in the afternoon
These were Mollie Hooker, Jessie Virgins,
Jennie Blackburn. Minnie Johnson, Mar
tina McEtfeo, Matte Hendricks. One of
them was sick and had execution of her
sentence suspended. One of them paid the
fine, s. and costs; tie others were all COM
mitted.
II. s Engle was again up for vagrancy
and paid the usual fine assessed, SIS and
costs.
James Martin, the man arrested when
about to send off package of supposed
stolen goods, yesterday answered 10 selling
without license He had no money and
now rests in the city prison.
Lee Thomas was also called upon 10
answer to Mother charge besides drunken
ness-indecent exposure. He was found
guilty of this offense and will WORK out
his fine on the stone pile.
JUSTICE COURT.
Besides the usual amount of civil busi-
ness Justice Walker heard and disposed of
two criminal cases.
The four boys who are alleged to have
broken into the store of George Borstner
on South Lawrence were given hearing
From the statement of one of the youths
it seems that the stealing has been going
on for some time. The value of the goods
taken amount to about SIS. The bond of
each was fixed at 500, and in default
thereof they were all sent TO the county
jail.
w. f. Jewell the man arrested for the
theft of the masonic regalia from Mr.
Coulson of the Central house, appeared in
court but waived preliminary hearing
The bond OF the accused was fixed at 500.
1t was stated that the necessary security
will soon be furnished. Attorney McMea-
chan says the father OF the accused passed
through Newton on his way west ana he
said that in few days the necessary bond
would be secured for his son.
Justice Barrett spent the day in the trial
of civil cases.

HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.

4 gentleman who reached the city last
night reports that horse thief known as
Capt. links escaped from jail Thursday
night and took tangent for the Neutral
Strip. 1t seems that some members Of his
gang assisted him in getting away by Civ
ing him tools with which to saw out. He
was put in there some days ago and was
one. it is claimed, who would probably
have been put to death with the others of
his gang if the rope had held out. The
fortunate incident putting him in Jail he
was guarded few days but guard service
finally thought unnecessary IL was dis
pensed with.
When the news OF his escape became
known yesterday morning officers with
posse started out on the recapture expedi-
ton.

WHO? AND WHAT?

Officer Coin few nights since was at
tracted by man who was driving around
on North Market in a rather suspicious
manner He stationed Officer DObson at
the end of the block and he himself went
to the other, neglecting to give the former
a good description of the wanted party,
and the man was allowed to drive past
without being searched or questioned.
Last night another party or rather an out
fit answering the description of that seen
on the former occasion, was noticed on the
same street. The question was naturally
asked, whas did he want and what was he
doing on the street in such a manner and
at such 4 time?

against him the charge of petit larceny,
