COMMITTEE SUSTAINED.

The ingalls, Marching club and Young
Mems Republican club held meeting last
evening at the court house to hear the re
port of the joint committee appointed to
look after rates and accommodations to
the Chicago convention. The meeting
was largely attended and considerable in
terest manifested in the work 10 be done
The report was made to the effect that the
committees had considered the PROPOSE
tions OF the various roads and had selected
the Rock Island.
Tie report was adopted and the meeting
adjourned.
The attitude Of the railroads towards
each other is such that it is requested not
to publish the rate made to all parties
leaving the city for Chicago. What it Is,
however, is an open secret. at least all seem
to know it, and it is further predicted
that the rate viii be much lower. 1t is
also an open secret that limit of over
believed that the increased limit will also
be extended as well as fare reduced.
There are large number talking quite
favorably of going to Chicago under such
favorable terms The rate and limit made
at present is enough to make it quite prob
able that two hundred people viii be in
Chicago from Wichita during convention
week If terms are made more favorable
it would seem many more would go.
When the meeting adjourned last even
ing the Lotus Quartette club favored the
crowd with number of selections OF cam
paign songs which were pronounced by all
to be quite acceptable and would
serve quite well to enliven the
boys to Chicago and please
the crowds there. The boys are practicing
and getting a collection of songs arranged
and will be we'll prepared for the occasion.
The various roads il the city are giving
praiseworthy attention TO the people going
to Chicago. Special trains on all lines,
appropriately decorated will leave next
Sunday forenoon and reach Chicago in
less than twenty-four hours. OF course
there is a lively fight for business on each
line and the public don't seem to object to
that. They argue that the fight had some
thing to do in producing such liberal
terms, and in view of this fact no one
thinking Of going to Chicago is inclined to
call halt on the increasing OF facilities.

TRUNK FOUND.


Charley Bailey and Jesse Sassen, two
boys, yesterday morning found a trunk in
he Chisholm just east of the Midland
water tank. Officer Charley Burroughs
was notified of the find, wentto the place
and examined the trunk. He, found
within, number of letters, SOME Clothing,
and shaving utensils; Judging from these
he is of the opinion that it is the property
of A. W. Van Loon who has been at the
Riverside hotel. He has no clew to the
manner in which the trunk came where it
was found, further than statement by
some persons living in that locality.
From them it was learned that Sunday
night about IL o'clock hack was seen ON
the creek bank at this place. The officer
thought that the trunk might have been
taken from Mr.. Van Looms room, rifed
of all its valuables, taken to the creek and
thrown into the stream

CITY ORDINANCES.
The Work ofRevision Greater Than Expected
Long Sessions Promised.

| The meeting of the city council tonight
| promises to be one of no little interest as
| well as one calling out vigorous work from
that body. While it is an adjourn meet
ing the leading feature promises to be the
revising of city ordinances. As is known
for some time Douglass and Moore have
been engaged in revising the ordinances,
preparatory to having the same printed in
| book form. The term revising" accord
ing to the gentlemen doing the work, is
little indefinite and just what is meant to
convey by it is one of the first questions
that will be decided this evening. In the
wtrk SO far many ordinances have been
found which are adjudged illegal, being in
violation Of state law. 1t is thought that
such ordinances should not have space in
the new book and this will come before
the council for decision. If it is determin-
ed to throw out that class of the city's
legislation the question will then present it
self what is city law and what not Already
there seems to be dispute concerning some
of t he ordinances, one claiming it is not
n opposition to the state law while others
hold the opposite opinion. To determine
ordinances from rot promises to be a task
of considerable Importance.
Another feature of the work seems
scarcely of less Importance. One ques-
ton, for instance. there are a number of
ordinances, sections amended and re-
amended and the wording defective call
ing for resubmission so the crucible for an
entirely new ordinance, combining the
merits of all and admitting the defects of
none. When all the work at revision is
done the council is compelled to pass on
all, which means the reading of every Or
dinance by sections and passed upon by a
calling roll vote. In view of the immen-
sity of the job some of the members sug-
gest that long and weary sessions are in
order.
As soon as the matter is passed upon
it is ready for the printer.
As the ordinances are being revised some
of the members favor passing or rejecting
every measure in sight. This would give
the new ordinances passed chance for
admittance in the book. AS result the
few meetings before the last copy is pre-
pared promises more ordinances than
formerly. ''The referred" basket of
measures was tilted over at the last meet
ing and the ordinance for the new gas
company fell out and it is thought num-
Der of others will soon be resurrected
owing to the circumstances

A FIRE

Yesterday afternoon what came near
proving a most disastrous fire occurred in
the restaurant of Guyer & Msqulken on
West Douglas avenue. The reservoir of a
gasoline stove had been filed with coal oil
instead OF gasoline, the grocer having
made mistake in sending the former for
the latter. The pipe soon commenced to
leak and then took fire, the burning fluid
blazing up almost TO the ceiling. Mr..
Guyer and one of his employees 5ravely
fought the flames and at last succeeded in
extinguishing them. The great danger
was from an explosion of the reservoir.
and it seemed almost a miracle that it did
not explode as it was for some time en-.
veloped in the flames.
