A popular belief, current among men at
least, is that women enjoy dressmaking.
Undoubtedly it is pleasant to see shabby
old gown metamorphosed into compare
lively fresh new one by the aid of judicious
turning, sponging and retrimming The end
crowns the means. But it is not invariably
a delight to a woman to go through the tire
some ni1mtiR that precede the agreeable ter
mination. There are numbers Of women
who anticipate the spring and fall dressmak-
ings with deep groanings of spirit. Left to
themselves, they might fuss along with their
old clothes. But every true woman desires to
look her best, not only in her husbands eyes,
but also, for his sake, in those of his friends

what skill she may, to save his purse and his

Presentations appear at present to be the
order of the day. Wednesday it was
Sheriff Hays who received very hand
some badge from the citizens of Wichita in
appreciation of his efficiency as an officer.
and yesterday the same good luck fell to
the lot of City Marshal Haines The
presentation was made by City Attorney
Dyer in the following address:
Marshal Haines-I take great pleasure
on behalf of the city officials, the press
and the citizens of Wichita in presenting to
you this badge IL is given to you as a
mark of esteem and is one which has been
well earned by you. When YOU entered
your office you Were beset by difficulties
in the shape of opposition from those who
should have supported you, but you have
gone straight ahead and overcome all
wrong in the conscious strength of being
in the right in spite OF all 10 the contrary
Your official record has been one of I'M
exampled impartialality and Justice You
are the foe of all that is criminal and
base AID the friend of the man who does
right. You have not an enemy in town
except some tin horn gamblers, iointists or
pick-pockets, while you have for Your
TREND every man VINO loves justice ana I'M
partiality. As a capturer of thieves and
marauders you have no equal. while your
natural shrewdness enables you to spy out
thief or a law-breaker if he is in the CITY
1t is for these qualities, as we'll as your
true worth as a man and gentleman
that the citizens of Wichita take this
means of showing their appreciation of
you. Take this medal, wear it always,
and remember that YOU will always have a
warm spot in the hearts OF all the true
men and women Of Wichita

HIS FATHER SAVED HIM.

Yesterday afternoon was the end of a
rather interesting little larceny case. The
defendant was Robert Harvell and was
charged with grand larceny. He appeared
in court in charge of Ed Darnell and was
met by his father, very nice looking old
gentleman.
When called upon 10 plead he said
he was guilty but added that he had taken
the goods through a misunderstanding
His father asked TO address the court III
his sons behalf and was given perInis-
sion. The old gentleman arose and in
plain, straightforward manner. told him
mis- son had left the farm TO come To the
city in search OF work. His money was
all spent in the search, and at last starting
for home, picked up the wrong valise:
was arrested, placed in the jail, and has
since been sick He said that he needed
his boy for work on the farm now that
spring WAS coming ON. Judge Reed looked
favorably upon the case. assessed a small
fine, which was paid by the father, and the
son permitted TO go free. Judge Reed.
however, reminded him of the reason he
mad gotten off so easily, and advised him
never again to come mp before him on such
charge, or he might fare much worse.

FROM THE EAST.

Last night J. L. Mcintosh stopped over
in the city on his way from his home in
New York to The western part of the
state, where he has landed possessions. He
said that he was greatly surprised TO see
Wichita city of its size and business
activity.
This city has been greatly advertised
and many things both good and bad have
been said of it; but / hardly expected to
see everything so much in accordance with
the statements of Wichita's warmest
friends and admirers. There is no boubt
bat that here is to be the great city of the
southwest l found too, that wealthy
men and men who invest i'll western lands
are coming either themselves or sending
some safe reliable man to look at the pros
poets. | have myself heard of many who
have thus been given great faith in Kan
Sas in spite OF the Misrepresentation of
the sheets in jealous eastern towns Ny
opinion is that money viii become much
easier in short time; as eastern CORPORA
tons will have made their usual first OF
the Year settlements, dividends been de
clared, and capital be looking for some
new and safe investments. There are few
such better than Kansas LAM s and here
then will come the money.

GETTING READY FOR THE HOT SEASON.

The ice companies report one of the best
harvests they have eyer enjoyed. The ice
in the river is about thick enough 10 be
handled nicely being from ten to twenty
inches. Nearly all the companies handling
natural ice are putting in 4 double supply
as they remember that the demand last
summer was much greater than the sup
ply.
While the companies handling natural
ice are at work the capital ice company is
not in a state of inoceubous disuitude.
They have decided to increase the capacity
Of their plant almost double what il was
last summer They first put in machinery
for making thirty tons daily but that
amount iii the ice using season would not
supply city trade while over thirty tons
could have been sold to neighboring towns
The demand was almost double the capac-
ity and the company is anxious 10 increase
the capacity.
The company making the machines viii
not allow any other company to buy their
machines. if the first company viii increase
their output equal 10 the demand II they
refuse TO increase near the demand they
would allow another company 70 be formed
using their machinery This fact places
the company here in position where II is
compelled to do what il desires 10 accom-
piish. They have not decided fully ON
the extent of the Improvements, but the
majority OF the company seem to favor
DOUBLING the capacity. 1t seems quite
probable that this much viii be added If
not more.

THE COUNTS.
DISTRICT ceugr.


X. N. Harvell was yesterday brought
into court and called upon to plead to an
Indictment charging him with grand lar
ceny. The offense of which he WAS accus-
ed was taking from boarding house a va
lise belonging to Sidney Norwood and con-
tanning articles valued at 81. The charge
of grand larceny was withdrawn and that
of petit larceny substituted. To this he
pleaded guilty and was fined IS and costs.
His honor imposed this light sentence with
the remark that if he is ever brought be
fore him in future it will go much harder
with him.
State VS.. Tim Lane was also brought up,
on a motion by Judge H. C. Sluss the
defendants attorney to Quash the lndsct-
ment. Judge Sluss took the position that
the law creating an assistant attorney
general was unconstitutional. The title
of the act under which he is supposed to
have derived his authority is an act to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors.
There is nothing therein stated as to the
office of assistant attorney general, which
would be done had it been the intention
of the trainers of the act to make any such
an Office. The bill. Judge Sluss further
maintained ought to be the more explicit
giving the functions and duties of the
Office. The informations then should have
been brought in the name OF the attorney
general; and if not so brought could not
be sustained and the prisoner now indicted
upon such information and confined in the
county Jail should be released.
The assistant attorney general in his
Il u
neither obscure nor unconstitutional. The
appointment of an assistant attorney gen
eral was evidently embodied in the act in
order to give to the attorney general an
assistant for the better enforcement of the
prohibition stated in the title of the act.
Judge Reed did not attempt to render a
decision but took the motion under advise
ment.
State VS. George Harris was continued
until March term of court.
Judge Reed says that in the morning the
civil docket will be called
POLICE COURT.
NJ. Shultz was called upon to pay into
the city treasury the sum of So for keep
ing gambling house.

SHARP ESCAPED.

Last evening a jointist named Sharp
managed to make his escape from the

He was not found last night, but is evil

likely be found. 1t is considered by many
TO be quite happy radiance if he would
leave this country never 10 return, as he
has i'll the past been frequently invited to
do by the city police: but Sheriff Hays
says ne will find him. which means that

Who ever thought ten years ago
That fair Kansas would have such snow
That on our streets sleigh-hells would ring
As are the snow the runners sing.
The south and north in union meet,
The north secures the southern heat
While south the cold in winter goes
And wraps the land in crystal SHOWS.
Welcome, welcome, beautiful snow,
And stay until the waters flow
From the mountain gorges deep
Where all nature in winter sleeps.
1t means for Kansas the gold sheaf,
The yellow corn with deep green leaf,
The red checked fruit from off the trees,
The flower that feeds the honey bees.
1t means to Kansas wealth and power,
A bright day, happier hour,
With peace and plenty ON every hand
Throughout this broad and pleasant land.
