over the boiler for the engineer, and the
other in the usual place for the firemen.
The driving wheels are of paper, with
steel tires. Economy in fuel Is accom-
plished by pump which utilizes the
exhaust steam to heat water, and by q
large combustion chamber, which burns
all the gas. It is expected the engine
will make eighty miles an hour, with
ten coaches, on an ordinary road.

CONTRARY.

She's contrary, Maynard young maid,
Yet as witehing as maiden can be,
And love her so much, I'm afraid
From her wiles shall never be free.
She never will do what ask,
And my patience she almost wears out;
But then If take her to task,
She asks what I'm talking about.
And smiles in the charmingest way,
Till my anger is wholly forgot,
So I'm blessed if I'm certain to-day
As to whether she loves me or not.
But sometime--I don't know just whom
I'll propose to her-see if don't;
And I'm sure that she'll marry me then,
Because she says now that she won't.

STATE W. C.T.U. CONVENTION.

4 meeting OF the members and friends
of the local w C. L. Z. was held Tuesday
afternoon at the headquarters of the
Central Union for the purpose of making
arrangements for the annual convention
of the State w. c. 4. L. to be held in the
First N. f., church of city, on the Goth,
9th and 2Sth of this month. A good
degree of interest was manifested and u
determination that these repr sentative
ladies from all parts of the state coming
to consider the varied interests Of the ever
widening sphere of the home should be
cordially received into the homes of the
city and treated as lone of the family"
1t was decided to serve dinners, and per-
haps suppers, in the basement OF the
church.
Committees were appointed to make
arrangements for tables and dishes for
these meals, also to canvas the city for
such eatables as can be served cold with
hot tea and coffee, and to solicit places of
entertainment for the delegates. Any who
prefer taking the ladies TO their homes and
entertaining them entirely will confer a
favor by doing so. Many will think it
more convenient to assist in furnishing
the general table than to give full enter
tainment at home. Some may think it
more convenient TO furnish food without
lodging: some lodging without food. All
will be given an opportunity to contribute
to the general success in Whatever manner
most convenient to them.
We bespeak for our committees Sener
Gus reception by our citizens.
By order of Central Union.

ODD FELLOWS RECEPTION.

The citizens are responding quite well to
the call for carriages with which to enter
tain the 800 visiting Odd Fellows on the
18th, but 100 or more need to report i'm
mediately to George j. Gray. at the drug
store of Gray & Hoffman, No. 13S North
Main street, or there will not be enough.
This matter should not require another
mention, as there are plenty of carriages in
the city, but unless they are furnished that
day our guests can not be shown the city
and will go away with a wrong impression
it. You people who are interest
ed, pay little heed to this matter.
The following committeeman appointed
bv the board of trade and Odd Fellows are
urgently requested to meet this morning
Thursday at o'clock sharp IN the board
of trade room to transact business that can
not be delayed.

Almost every day we hear Of some child

There are hundreds of boys in the CITY
that have them with their pockets well
filed with gravel or shot. One OF our
merchants said he had 10 remove mis- shot

stole the shot.
These boys do not lose an opportunity 10
shoot horses as they pass along the streets,
especially if they are driven by ladies or
children. The birds also come in for a
share of their attention. Under decisions

HE DON'T HIVE 10.

Some time ago Assistant Chief of Police
Charles Burrows swore out a warrant
charging Henry Billman, secretary of the
Citizens club, charging him with violat-
ing the prohibition law. The trial took
place before jury in Justice Barrett's
court and resulted in verdict of not
guilty. The jury also said in their verdict
that they believed the prosecution to have
been malicious. and recommended that
the costs, amounting to S47.2o, be assessed
against Mr.. Burrows
The court in its judgment so assessed
the costs, but as the officers did not con-
slider that he could be compelled to pay
the same, he paid no attention to the mat
ter. Yesterday about II a. ~, Constable
Billy Wiess arrested Burrows under a
warrant under a criminal action before
Justice Barrett to compel him to pay the
costs or go to jail He was turned over to
Sheriff Hays, but it was not many hours
until he was released under a writ of
habeas corpus sworn out before Judge
Reed by assistant attorney general of
the state, J. X. Hallowell. He was later
discharged altogether and let out of the
whole business.

APPEARANCES ARE OFTEN DEcEirFUL

That appearances are often deceitful and
things are not what they seem is fire.
quently demonstrated, even In Wichita.
One of the most recent as well as the most
striking illustrations of this fact was pre-
sented Yesterday shortly after dinner, at
the sheriff's Office.
AS is well known to the reading public,
Sheriff Hays frequently raids joint and,
under the search and seizure clause,
takes the stock. Included in the stock
are various and sundry articles, such as
beer, empty as well as filled. AS the
storage capacity of the back room of the
sheriff's Office is taxed TO its utmost to &C
commodate the kegs, ETC., that are filled
with liquor, the empty kegs are stacked
up in the alley outside of the offices, giving
to the same the appearance Of genuine
saloon of the familiar type seen where
prohibition is not attempted.
Yesterday long, lean, lank, slab-sided,
raw-boned and angular party, about six
feet high and one foot wide, who
wore an old white sombrero
with a leather shoe string laced
around it for band, a hickory bark
shirt, blue jeans overalls that had been

same material fastened to them with
wooden pins, a pair Of ''whang leather"
shoes, between which and the ends OF his
overalls his ankles showed like red poke
berry stalks, stepped up to the hall door OF
the sheriff's office and looked IN.
Looking across the room he saw Sheriff
Hays and asked of him, ''Air you the boss
here:' AS Douglas Donnelly was UP
stairs attending the United States court,
the sheriff admitted he was "boss there. y
Then" said the stranger, holding up q
patent lard bucket, Il wan tee get this
hear kit full O. beer"
GO back and help yourself If you can, u
said the sheriff.
Il don't want it fur nothin'. l want to
buy it,
We'll, you can't This is no joint" was
! the answer the stranger received.
| His eyes bulged out and as soon as he
could recover his surprise he calculated
1.-THE - it haint What's all them beef
! kegs a-settin' outside fur?"
When it was explained to him that he
was in the sheriff's office and addressing
that party, he made quick exit, and with
a long drawn out 'eXkeeuse me" diSap-
peared in the crowd on the sidewalk.

CITYIMPROVEMENTS.

City Engineer Mulvey was quite busy
yesterday assisted Icy his corps of engin-
GERS, at work on the profile for the sewer
system. He said that the work would be
completed by Modday night and ready for
the councils consideration and action.
The Douglas avenue curb and guttering
from Fifth avenue TO Main street Will cost
something near IS. 400. The contract will
be let soon after the 18th inst, and it is
thought that special meeting will be
held for that purpose.
Work is progressing nicely on the curb
and gathering on West Douglas from
Wichita to the river, Oh the south side of
the avenue

AFTER THE BIRD.

The transportation question for the Gar
field Post to Columbus is growing quite
interesting. The Santa Ee $14 slash
seemed surprise to the other companies
and some of them claim that the Santa Fe
is working to get out of that proposition.
This, however, is confidently denied by
some of the Santa Fe men.
Considerable interest is manifested in
the propositions to come from the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Frisco, as it is thought
those two roads have most reason to make
a struggle for the business.
In the interest of their health the fol-
lowing travelling passenger agents arrived
yesterday to join some others of the same
calling: J. B. Reese. Union Pacific; Tom
Brown, Louisville, Evansville & st. Louis:
Pat Humphrey, Erie railway; r. J. Fitz-
gerald, L. & n; j. H. Kidson, Wabash;
Charles Sloat, Rock Island; Charles

COMPARISON OF BIZ SINESS.

A clothing man was heard to say yester-
daythat the sales of the firm for the month
of August had almost doubled those of
August one year ago. Gone year ago" he
continued, 1--WE found our trade concen-
trated into one day business, coming on
Saturday But last month trade was good
all week and all the weeks. The trade at
the beginning and middle of the week
filled out still better"
Going down the avenue a little further
in answer to a question after investigation
one Of the proprietors made the
ratio of business last month to
that of one year ago nearly
double in both sales and more than double
cash payments. This he thought good
showing, and while he was feeling quite
well over the business. he did not know it
looked so favorable when compared with
one year ago. The result of the investiga-
tion was quite beneficial to his general
appearance. and after but a moments,
hesitation he invited the crowd to the
cigars
