WICHITA CINCINNATI.
G.. /. ROUSE. SR.. SAYS EXPOSITION
VISITORS ARE DELIGHTED
With Wichita's Display--M0re Pro-
duce Needed to Fill
the Space.

MIR and Mrs: Geo. l. Rouse Sr, returned
last evening over the Frisco after an ex-
tended trip to Cincinnati and thence to the
watering places of the east. They will
leave Wednesday evening for Manitou,
Colorado, for stay of several weeks.
In speaking of the Wichita exhibit at the
Cincinnati exposition, Mr.. Rouse said in
substance, that the people Of Wichita can
not appreciate too thoroughly the great
advantages to be derived from and the
necessity of making as thorough and com
plete display as it is possible TO make at
such place, where can be obtained the
best advertising TO be had anywhere. Now
that the principal expense has been in
Cured, the people of this vicinity, partic-
ularly the farmers, should see TO
it that the space SO generously allotted
TO Wichita be completely filled. The ex-
hibit is spoken of by all as the finest made
by any section or state and thousands are
having their eyes opened in regard to
Wichita's real merits. All Cincinnati is
strongly impressed with Wichita
Mr.. Allison, the chairman of the expo
sition commission, and all of the commits
sioners, intact, display great interest in
Wichita, and do all in their power 10 facil-
itate her opportunities for making a good
showing. Mr.. Rouse thinks very prop
erly, that a thorough appreciation Of these
courtesies should be shown.

OBITUARY.

Died. August 8, 1855, at her home, OIL
South Washington avenue, Mrs. George
A Clegg, wife OF Thomas Z. Clegg, aged
% years, months and II days.
George y. Simmons was born January
Il. 1866, on Prince Edwards Island,
Canada. In 1865 she moved with her
parents to Arcola, Douglas county, Ill.
In 1850, again to Springfield, H., where on
June 3, 1886, she was married to Thomas
f. Clegg, and on the 9th of June, came to
Wichita, which has since been her home.
Her disposition was one OF marked
amiability and her life that of pure
Christian in all the term implies. Always
cheerful, kind and obliging, she endeared
to her all with whom she mingled. At an
early date in her life she united with the
". f. church, and to the end was consist
ent and exemplary in all her domestic and
Christian duties.
Her loss 10 her husband and parents can
only be appreciated by those who may
have been similarly bereaved. She left a
little girl only six months old, who though
in the care Of loving father and friends,
will miss in the years to come the kindly
influence a mother alone can exert. To
the bereaved ones all extend the most
heartfelt sympathy in this their hour OF
sore affection.

BE NOT OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
THE DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN TO
AFFORD ASSISTANCE
To the City officials in Getting the
Sewer System Established
Do Not Delay This Work.

For several months past, as is known to
all of the EAGLES readers, the city officials
have been diligently engaged IN trying TO
get to work on the sewerage system for
the city. First one apparently insur-
mountable objection would present itself
and then another, but finally. after untir-
ing work, the matter has been brought to
such focus that work will now be begun
at as early day asa few preliminaries can
be arranged Chief among them is the
question or right Of way. The special
committee on right of way have the names
OF all parties who own property through
which it will be necessary to run the sew
erS.
The committee will soon wait upon these
property owners and ask that the right OF
way be granted. AS the sewers in all in
stances viii run through the rear of the
few lots touched, no one should ask any
more than the actual damage to his i'm
provements Any such damage or ex-
pense in removing, replacing or otherwise
compensating for buildings OR other i'm
provements, the city viii OF course pay.
No ones property viii, however, be in
jured in the least, but on the contrary the
value of his property viii be greatly and
permanently enhanced. His premises will
not be disfured, because the sewers Will
go in the rear OF the premises
and the surface will be put back in the
condition as before. 4 lot with sewerage
will sell better than one without, and any
imaginary damage will be nothing COM
| pared with the benefits derived from sewer
connections.
h1r nT n how a.
sons why property owners should not
bubble with the city. One is. every per-
| son in the severed portion of the city
should show spirit of fairness and Gber-
atty, because whatever spirit of asking
| damages may be generated will have to be
paid by the property benefited by the
system. Another is, that the principal
outlay for the system will be for
| labor The expenditure of somewhere
near 500, 900 in labor alone, means nearly a
years work to a very large number of de-
serving men, at a time. too, when they
viii need it.
To be unreasonable with the city means
to throw the question OF procuring right
OF way into the courts and engaging IN an
endless litigation which in the end not
only results il substantial benefits to no
one, but delays the much desired and i'm
portant metropolitan step and prevents
the prompt expenditure of a vast sum OF
money.
Now let everyone who has his own best
interests and the best interests of the city
at heart appeal to his better nature and
business sagacity and act, in this matter,
for the most good to the greatest number.
II he viii do that then Wichita will soon
have the best sewerage of any city of her
size, and besides this there will be brought
into the city volume of money which
will tend to allay any danger from slack
ness Of work during the coming winter.

MAYBE HYDROPHOBIA.

Vest erday morning boy about II years
old was seen on the street nursing g badly
swollen arm. He seemed TO be suffering
greatly from il and doctor who CHANGED
to meet him made inquiry and learned
that the boy had on the previous evening
been bitten by a dog, and taking
the little fellow into his Office
after careful examination gave
1t as his opinion that the case may develop
into hydrophobia The arm was already
twice its natural size and every indication
as far as could be developed SO early. was
that it would be case Of tha, terrible type.
The little fellow was sent 10 his home IN
the south part Of the city and the doctor
has an eye out for DEVELOPMENTS
The present situation IS such
that the boys parents request
the matter referred 10 in an indefinite way
as they are not anxious 70 appear IN print
under such circumstances, and hope FOX
the hest.
Referring 70 the case the doctor stated
tina, there was no doubt IN his mind that
there are many Internal barking, bowling
dogs in the city capable OF biting anyone,
and that a wholesale killing. without re-
gard to blood or owners would be an
everlasting blessing.

WICHITA AHEAD.
Kansas Bicycle Record for Five Niles Broken
Yesterday.

Yesterday evening A. JOS. Henley. OF the
Wichita Wheelmen, made five miles on
his Columbia racer in the excellent time OF
IS minutes and IS seconds. This time is %
seconds faster than the hest state record,
which is 70 minutes and 20 seconds. and
was made by Mr.. Phelps, of Leavenworth.
1t was, however, not fair trial of Hen
ley's speed, for he had a heavy track, IN
addition to which on the last lap Of the
second mile one of the club IN handing
MIN a saturated sponge, came to close to
the wheel and caused Joe TO take header
which bent the handle lar and twisted
the backbone. He was compelled to jump
on the nearest machine which belonged
to Harry Dunbar, and was handicapped
with a good sized cycler's lantern. The next
lap he left Dunbar's wheel and took his
fifty-five inch Columbia light roadster. BY
the next time around the boys had his
racer in shape, which he mounted and
rode TO the finish.
Fully one and one half minutes were
lost in changing wheels and the plucky
rider, after taking the header. labored I'M
der the disadvantages OF three very ugly
bruises and cuts.
The lantern parade Of the wheelmen,
which was announced for tonight, will be
postponed until further notice.
