Small Farms Pay.

If the owner of a small farm
brings to his work the business
capacity and good Judgment which
the large land owner does,i is very
evident that, proportioned to the
acres cultivated, he will have the
most money at the end Of the year.
Hired help is not only expensive
but at times very uncertain and
unreliable, but a mans own bands,
with his heart in his work, which
seldom accompanies hired help,are
always available Tor every little
detail on which success depends.
Many men will do more with
Ten acres and gc5 more out OF and
iiaOIn Sham than othars will with o
hundred. It requires as much la
por. however, for the ten as the
hundred. IL is intelligent LABOR
and good management that counts
on a farm, hence it is that small
farms pay the best and that large
farmers continually complain that
there is no moneySir farming.
To our way OF thinking, and we
are familiar with every department.
Of farm business, there is no enter
prise one can engage in which Of
Iers better opportunities for a
healthful, independent and success
tul life than as1noderate size farm
under good management.-Agrl

STABBED IN THE SIDE.

Last night, shortly after 10 O'Clock, Allen
Buck, seventeen-year-old boy, and an
S1her lad of about the same age were
standing on the corner of Fourth avenue
and Williams street when q coIored man
came along who seemed to be somewhat
intoxicated. He accosted the lads. Hello.
Dutchies,n when Buck said no, no, you
are mistaken this time, as II is Irish. 5"
With this it seems that war OF words
followed, and in a short time the colored
fellow stabbed Buck with knife and ran.
Buck fell to the ground and was carried to
Dr. J. NJ Hoskin's Office, on the corner of
Fourth and Douglas. The doctor found
that the knife had penetrated the left side
between the fifth and sixth ribs. reaching
the lung. The patient soon became weak
and showed signs of hemorrhage and the
doctor said il was difficult TO tell for few
hours how serious the wound would prove.
The boy was, about one hour later. moved
10 the home Of his step-father. Mr. Adev.
on the corner Of Douglas and Ida avenues.
Two boys We're last night. shortly before

pleading, managed TO have her son released
and kept in the station under charge of
Officer John Knight. The Baker boy

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

The committee on buildings and grounds
of the city school board are waiting pa
tiently for propositions to locate school
buildings at a number of points formerly
mentioned. The parties living in some OF
the quarters needing buildings seem to
think they have paid taxes 20 put up other
school buildings and il is the duty of the
city as city TO erect school buildings and
buy sites for the same Some, however.
have been working on bids for location.
and are meeting with some degree of sue
cess. The board at its next meeting is
anxious TO be able TO examine all bids so
the buildings can be located and work
commenced very soon, so there will be no
doubt about having the buildings ready
for the beginning Of the next school vear.
1t is desired TO have one building completed
for the north part of the city. one for
Fairmount and one for the southeast.
Other localities will also be provided with
increased school facilities.

Mr.. and Mrs. Willis HiskOx was run over
near the Richey house on East Douglas and
quite badly hurt. The little girl, Maud,
lived with her parents, employees of res
taurant just east of Fourth; and when her
parents Were not watching she wandered
off and commenced playing IN the yard
just in the rear Of the Richey house. Mr.
l.. W. Morten had horse hitched in this
yard and going for it, he was about to
drive away when the little one in some
way getting in front of the horse, was
knocked down and stepped npon by the
animal She was picked up, carried into
the room occupied by her parents and a

4 CRIME OF THE NIGHT.

Yesterday morning woman, rather
weak and sickly in appearance, came to
Officer Vic Haynes and told quite story
of a criminal assault made upon her at her
own home on North Mosley by colored
man. She said' that her name is Mrs
Stanley and that she is living alone with
her child at No. 232 North Mosley; her hus-
band having died sometime ago. About
o'clock she awoke to find the colored
man in her room, before she could make
any out cry he had choked and beaten her
into Inconsistencies. Upon recovering
she went to the house of a colored family
living next to her and told them of the in
dignity which she had, suffered. From
there she came to the police station; the
marks where the brute had choked her were
still to be seen upon her throat. An exam
ination Of the premises showed that the
wretch had gained entrance to the room
through the window, one of the panes of
glass where the catch is, being broken out.
The description she gave of her assailant
was that of a man. very dark. tall. and
dressed in dark blue suit of clothes.
Several resorts were colored men congre-
gate were visited by her IN company with
Officer Hartzell but in none of them could
she recognize man who so brutaliv as
saulted her. The search viii kept up by
officers and the guilty man may yet be
called upon TO answer to the law for his
fiendish crime.

LOW AWNINGS.

Concerning low awnings Mr.. 4. Fellows
yesterday said
"The authorities that compelled parties
to take down the unsightly sheds in front
of their places of business should also COM
pei the parties putting up canvass awnings
to put them high enough that man with
q hat ON, or lady with parasol or UNI
brella could walk along the pavements of
our beautiful city without having to go
around these awnings or drag under
them. There should be regular heighth
below which they should not be placed.
Wichita, the pride of the prairies, can't
afford to have her pavements obstructed
in the least. In addition 10 the incon-
venience 1t don't look we'll"

SURPRISED AND CHAIRED.


Last night there was pleasant and en-
joyable time at the home of the boys of
hose company No. l. Their lady friends to
the number of about dozen came upon
them unexpectedly and completely took
possession of their cosy quarters. Although
they came unheralded and unasked yet the
boys had for them a warm welcome and so
the time was most pleasantly spent in
dancing and conversation until near mid
night. Then there was 4 short stop in the
festivities and Officer Jake Harmon
stepped to the front and in a neat little
speech presented genial Al. tBrownell
with a fine easy chair, present to him
from the unexpected guests of the evening.
Now had Al. been called upon to 90 to a
fire or do any of the work that falls to the
lot of fireman he would have nobly done
his part; but to make reply to a speech
upon such an occasion was more than he
could or would do. He, however, man
aged to show by words and action the high
appreciation in which he held the most de-
sirable gift The dancing was then re-
sumed and kept up till a late hour much
to the pleasure and enjoyment of all pres
ent.

CONTINUISG THE WORK.

Prof Woodhave, geologist for the
Wichita Mining and Investment company,

The company has leased over fifty thous-
and acres and have in their findings, coal,
mineral paint, valuable clays etc, and feel
