The Park improvements.

1t is very gratifying to note the im-
provements recently made in Mr..
Wright's park. A fine drive around
the park has been completed and an
artificial pool fifty-five feet i'm diameter
and five feet two and half inches i'm
depth with plentiful supply of water
(the stand pipe three and half feet in
height forms beautiful basin of clear,
sparkling water, adding very much to
the attractiyeness of this really pleas
ant resort. Fish Commissioner Bissell
will contribute several varieties of fish
TO be placed in the pool
The new band stand, circular in form,
the lower part forming nice store room
while uponthe second floor the band
will be furnished large, conven-
lent and nicely arranged room from
which they will dispense that which
''soothes the savage breast" the
whole surmounted by "A canopy Of
artistic design in the form of an
umbrella, presenting very pretty
appearance, creditabe alike to him who
ordered it and TO George Young, the
architect who executed the design.
In the northeast corner of park there
are convenieniences for the game of
croquet, while here and there are swings
and easy seats contributing much to
the comfort and enjoyment of the many
visitors who avail themselves of the
beniiicence of Mr.. a. w. Wright who
while thus perhaps gratifying his own
personal preferences, contributes incl
dentally 50 much to the enjoyments of
his many friends who are not slow to
appreciate his liberality in the many
ways in which he has added so much
TO the attractyeness of our beautiful
village.

Some Free Advice"

Under the above caption the Gratiot
County Herald pays its respects to a
gentleman Of this village as follows:
1T is said that Almon Yerrington is
making herculean efforts to secure the
nomination for judge Of probate on the
Republican ticket this fall. y
This is unqualiliedly false. Mr.. Y.
has been spoken Of in that connection,
but, while he might accept the nomina
tion if rendered by the conventions he
has not been ontside of Alma on that
behalf, neither have his friends for him.
lie was postmaster at Alma and was
removed for nefiiciency in Office"
This is wiful and malicious lie,
having no foundation in fact and is
manufactured out of whole cloth.
The fact that Mr.. Y. was postmaster
III years at this place does not argue
favorably for the assertion.
Also candidate for justice of the
peace for three terms, until last spring
over 20 republicans in Arcadia preferred
some one else and voted for the demo-
cratic nominee
The differences to he drawn from the
above is that Mr.. Y. was defeated, but
the fact is that he was elected over his
opponent by 80 majority.
There are some other statements
made in the article referred To, but they
are of too frivolous nature To deserve
notice, and only remind one of the OBJ
jections of "A pettifogging attorney when
he sees IA hopeless case before him.

: CHILD'S AWFUL ACCIDENT.

The sixteen montns-old child of Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Helm, living on EnDoria
avenue, just north of Douglas, is lying i'll
a crit cll condition from the effects of
swallowing large safety pin last Satur-
day evenin.. The child was playing on
the floor with several of these pins when
the mothers notice was attracted by its
severe coughing and choking. Mrs. Helm
picked up her child and saw that the little
one had swallowed the pin. The pin was
open and could not be extracted, and Is
the mother tried to get it out drove it into
the esophagus, where it is now supposed
to be lodged.
Although the accident occurred Satur-
day night the child is still alive. DR.. Nc
Adams was called, and although not
satisfied as to the eXact location
of the pin, still thinks it is in the throat
and that the esopha2us will have to be
cut open to get the pin out. The parents
of the child have not yet consented to the
operation as it will be attended with ex-
IRENE danger, but the physician says the
child will surely die unless given relief
soon. 1t IS not in any great amount OF
pain, and only at times does the little one
complain of the pin. The child is nour-
ished with milk which it drinks without
much trouble, and it is owing to the APP
parent harmless condition that it is in
which causes the parents to not allow the
surgical operation.

ENTERTAINMENT AT ST. PAUL'S.

A very pleasant program was given last
evening at st. Pauls NJ. E. chapel, North
Lawrence avenue. 1t was the presenta
ton of ''The Rainbow Prince" a bright
little piece, especially prepared for the
children. A fine recitation was also de-
livered by Miss Mary Mccullough. The
Dewdrop club rendered several selections
in specially entertaining manner. They
will surely have to add to their list of ad-
mirers the attendants at St. PauPs. Very
much credit for the success of the enter
tainment is due to Misses Minnie Viele
and Gussie Hoyt, whose skill and patience
were equal to the task of training the
children in their several parts. Quite
a nice little sum was realized, which will
almost pay the balance due on the fitting
up of the house.
It is expected to have a lecture from
Bishop Vincent when he comes to hold the
conference next spring.

ACCUSED OF SrEALING A RING.


At Justice Barrett'S yesterday Mrs
Clever, living on North Main street, had a
warrant issued for the arrest of Al Stick
Ter, a barber, formerly of this city, but at
present at Argonia. He is charged with
taking a diamond ring that belonged to
her. According TO the statement made
last night by her son, Stickler found the
ring while he was rooming at Mrs. Clover's.
She asked him the morn n that she dis
covered her loss if he had her diamond,
but he denied it. He in few days after
wards offered it to young lady, but she
refused to have it, saving that it belonged
to Mrs. Clever. Three days afterwards he
left the city and went to Argonia. The
ring has been demanded but Stickler re-
fused to give it up. and as a last resort the
warrant was issued. The sheriff will serve
it this morning.

FROM THE LAND OF ORANGES.

Hon. S. A. Jones, of Tampa, Florida. has
been in the city several days visiting and
sight seeing. 1t is Mr.. Jones first visit to
Wichita and he is completely captivated
with the place. Mr.. Jones IS prominent
business man of Tampa and South Flor
ida, and has good word for the future
of the west and especially Wichita. He is
connected very extensively with number
of railroad enterprises in the south, and is
also editor of the Tampa Courier. He
thinks that in few years Wichita and
the west will receive most Of its fruit via
the Tampa harbor which is one OF the
best on the entire Gulf coast. In speaking
of the prospects for such state of affairs
Mr.. Jones said yesterday that congress
had already appropriated a large sum OF
money to improve Tampa bay and in
short time goods that are now brought
through New York can be landed at
Tampa and then shipped west. ''As it is
now" he said ''all the fruits and goods
brought from Cuba and northern sea
coasts Of South America pass close to the
southern end of Florida, in sight OF her
shores, and by a long and dangerous sea
voyage 10 New York and other eastern
cities, there to find railroads to transmit
them to the west The distance from
Tampa to Wichita is about the same as
from New York to Tampa, and goods
could be lad down here before they could
be landed in New York. Before the war
the imports of tropical goods and fruit
amounted to S15000,OOO The imports
now amount to 500 O0O, 90, and the entire
south gets about sl0,000, 900 of the trade.
The south and west consume about %
per cent of all these goods" Mr.. Jones
said he had heard much about Wichita,
but was not prepared to find such mag1
nifcent city. Mr.. Jones is not Senator
Jones, as has been reported. In April a
deep water convention will be held III

FORGED CHECKS.

Although the matter has been kept very
Guiet it has been learned that the sheriff
is on the track of forger who has been
operating around Wichita of late to an
alarming extent. No less than fifteen
checks on various merchants and business
men have already been found, and it is
thought as many more will be unearthed.
Messrs. Locke g. Findeiss and 7. v
Healy are among the principal losers, but
TO Just what amount could not be learned,
The officers were very reticent about the
affair last night and could not be induced
to say who the supposed forger was, but it
is believed he can be arrested today. The
young man would go into store and buy
a small amount of goods and offer check
with forged name TO it as pay. lnvaria-
bly, he would get his goods and SO to SIS
in money besides. When the checks were
sent out of the clearing house last night
the gentlemen whose names were signed
to them at once pronounced them forger-
les and the authorities were notified.

TO DENVER.

Dr. Hobbs will leave on Friday morn
ing for his new home in Denver. His hope
is that his health, which has been quite
precarious recently, will be improved by
the change. Last Sunday night he hoped
to see his friends who congregated in
large numbers, but the morning service
proved too much tor his strength and he
was compelled to remain at home. The
meeting, however was conducted by
Chancellor Everest, assisted by Rev. j. II.
Jones of Ohio, and Prof. Laughlin and
others, the University church and the
South Lawrence avenue church having dis
missed their services TO participate in the

FLUID SOAP FACTORY.

for the manufacture of the Lincoln Light

Bluiug, by DR.. q. w Conner, of Nenia,
O., who has already number of manu-
factories in the eastern states, all doing a
fine business He has associated with him
a number of Wichita men. These goods
have a large sale in the east and the doctor
thinks tia their merit will recommend
them in the west and that their msnufac.
ture will become an industry of no little
importance in Wichita. He is having the
G. F. Campbell building, corner OF Fifth
avenue and Third street fitted up as a
mandatory, and expects TO leave today
for the east TO secure machinery and TO be
ready for work in few weeks.

takes great interest in his fruit. A car
load came through this week consigned to
