1T IS NOT SO,

It is reported on excellent authority that
the Santa Fe company have got control of
the Burton car works now being erected
at Wichita and are going to remove the
whole outfit TO Wellington. The Wichita
people are feeling very uneasy about the
affair, and are trying to bluff it Off There
is good reason for believing that there is a
good deal more than mere rumor in this
report-Wellingto Quid-Nunc
There is not one word of truth in the
above, nor any sense. The Santa Fe rail
road couldn't buy the Burton car works
without buying the entire patents and
franchises, which would cost millions.
The Burton car company now have so
many orders for their cars that they have
employed other car works to construct
until the Wichita works can be got ready.
To sell these works would put them
months behind in their orders. until they
could construct other works, here or some
place else. As the buildings here, alone,
represent about two hundred thousand
dollars, which amount would have TO be
practically thrown away if the buildings
were abandoned, the removal proposition
and rUmor becomes very foolish If the
Santa Fe have or are going TO purchase
the Burton works, it's very evident they
do not intend to move them, for new ma
cninery was being placed no later than
Saturday

ALMosT!AN ACCIDENT.

Street car No, Q came near being run
into by train late Tuesday evening at
Fifth and Douglas In the car were a
number Of passengers, and gentleman
who saw the affair says there lacked not
over foot of being a collision The rail
road cars were being handled by the switch
engine and gates at crossings were not let
down, and it is also related that the street
car driver failed TO stop 10 look for welfare
of passengers before crossing the track.
Concerning the railroad company not
using the gates al crossings councilman
said yesterday: Il have noticed that the
gates now I'D are used only when regular
trains come along. The switch engine.
which goes much faster, shoves cars back
and forth withonr the gate man paving
any attention TO il. The switch engine is
much more dangerous than any other,
and hence, in my opinion, should be given
more attention or the attempt on the part

WHO Is ELECTED.

1t is claimed by some that owing to a
supposed defect in printing tickets Mr.
Banks will be declared elected in the Sec
ond ward for councilman instead of Nj
Wingard. Some of the tickets were
marked short term" opposite Mr.. Win
CARDS name, and some left blank. This,
it is claimed, divides his vote, and such
division will make Mr.. Banks second
member Of the school board from the Sec
ond ward.
The objection has not the strength OF an
objection, with some claiming that the
one receiving the most votes from the
Second ward will be given the long term
and the one receiving the next highest will
be given the short term. Some claim the
matter will be up for settlement by the
council and city attorney Friday night.

VETERINARY PREPARATION.

DR.. L. Scott & Co. have opened an
office at No. 3l3 North Main for the sale OF
their medicines the principal of which are
the Challenge liniment, condition powder
and carbolic salve. These medicines are
prepared by DR.. Scott, a veterinary surgeon
Of twelve years standing. So great has
been the success that has attended their
application ard so great the demand that
it was found necessary to manufacture
them upon a more extensive scale, and TO
this fact is due the formation for this
purpose of the present company of DR.. L..
Scott * Co. The medicines are in no re-
spect a venture or an experiment, but their
excellence is attested by their eight years
steadily increasing demand. Already
travelling statesmen have been put upon
the road for the development and working
OF the entire state of Kansas. Fifty drug
gists in this section have in the short time
since the formation of the company COM
lnenced handling the preparations; besides
this the retail trade at the Office on North
Main street is quite large.
The linimenU is the preparation to which
the most attention is paid. 1t is composed
of ingredients cooling, eoothing, strength
ening, can be used either internal or ex-
ternal with perfect safety and
is highly recommended and endors-
ed by all who have used ii.
The condition powders, purely vegetable,
are for horses, cattle, hogs, sheep; they
purify the blood and regulate the system.
The carbolic salve is the best healing salve
ever offered TO the public.
1t is the intention of the company to
push these preparations into the market
and trusting in their excellence as well
the reputation they have acquired expect
soon to see them the leading preparations
of the kind in the west.

THAT MARRIAGE.

The EAGLES marital intimation of yes
terday morning came TO pass. The Jerome
Zimmerley marriage was all the talk of
the city yesterday. Mr.. Lee Jerome and
Mrs. Nettie Zimmerly were united in mar
riage at the First Baptist church by the
Rev. W. f. Harper. there being present
her daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. w. Levy,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Dyer Mrs. ALBERT and
two or three other intimate friends. The
after interest was due partly to sur
prise, we suppose, but principally to the
fact that great many people felt an IN
usual interest in Mrs. H., who is not only
an acknowledged beauty-a handsome
woman, but rich. The newly married
took the morning train for Kansas City.
