The cab driver who was on duty at tho
Sheridan residence during the generals i'll
ness stood on the curb one morning and dis
coursed learnedly to the reporter about cab
horses ''To make first class cab horse" !"
said he, ''the best way is to take broken
down street car horse, the Older and tougher
he is the better. Take of his shoes and turn
him out to pasture for q season; then bring
him in and put him in harness. He will
stand twice the work and rough handling
that would ruin plump young horse from
the country. The hardest work on horses is
not street car work by any means. A horse
will be broken down much sooner in herdic.
The concrete pavements dry out and crack a
horses hoof much sooner than the cobble-
stones of car track. .n-Washington Post.

The ONLY FOE.

Wild. threatening sky, white, raging sea,
Fierce wind that rends the rifted cloud,
Sets the new moons sharp glitter free,
And thuuders eastward, roaring loudi
A fury rides the autumn blast,
The hoary brine is torn and tossed;
Great nature through her spaces vast
Casts her keen javelins of the frost.
Her hand that In the summer days
Soothed us with tender touch OF joy,
Deals death upon her wintry ways;
Whom she caressed she would destroy.
Life shrinks and hides; all creatures COVER
While her tremendous bolts are hurled
That strike with blind, insensate power
The mighty shoulder of the world.
Be still, my soul, thou hast no part
In her black moods of hate and fear;
Lifted above her wrath thou art,
On thy still heights, serene and clear.
Remember this-not all the Wild,
Huge, untamed elements have force
To reach thee though the seas were piled
In weltering mountains on thy course.
Only thyself thyself can harm.
Forget it not And full of peace,
As if the south wind whispered warm.
Wait thou till storm and tumult cease.
Celia ThaXter in The Century

A Patent for Which is Claimed Great Merit
Capital stock $50, 900.

Some gentlemen In the city are being
agitated over new patent in the ice max
ing line which it is thought threatens TO
cheaper that commodity to an alarming
extent-so far as dealers are concerned
The patent is owned by a gentleman from
Pennsylvania who will be in the city in
few days to talk business TO some gentle
men who have been corresponding with
him for some time. They have been after
terms for selling the state territory TO
them and put up a factory here for making
the apparatus necessary for plant"
The process is said 10 be very simple and
costing but a few dollars.to get ready for
use and very cheap to operate and what Is
known as refrigerator, composed of all
the apparatus, and can be easily operated
by one person, making ice FOR u family at
small expense.
1t is proposed TO organize company
with capital stock of S50.090. One gen
tleman in the city who has seen the pro
cess work originated the agitation here
and puts his name down for one-fifth of
the stock, or $4,000 Some of the ice men
of the city are on to the scheme and are
giving the matter special attention, think
ing that if the patent is as good as it
seems it will disturb their business TO an
alarming extent. As a sort of hedging
process they are giving the affair marked
attention.
The pateDtee VIII be in the city in a few
days and the matter will be brought to
the clinching point.

NEW TIME CARD.

1t is stated by good authority that the
Santa Fe management is making a new
time card which will go into effect in the
early part of next month which will give
Wichita two trains from the east in the
morning, the first to arrive about a. III.
and the second about a. N, the latter
making western connections at Newton;
also train in the evening from the east.
\ flyer will leave in the morning making
connections at Kansas City for Chicago
with the fast trains as at present, also two
trains in the evening for the east and west,
the first leaving about p. m, the second
about three or four hours later The Gal
weston train will then run through WITCH
tia solid as formerly The Pullman cars
are to be placed in the service each way
and through coaches will also be run on
these trains. The management have
placed large order for chair cars to be
put in the service as soon as they can be
turned out.
On May 14th the Chicago California &
Santa Fe line of this company will he

BE REASONS FROM CAUSE TO EFFECT.

Mr.. Ira ID. Sturgis, of Augusta, Maine
whose return from California was an
nounced in yesterdays paper, is quite in
teresting, in speaking of the comparative
merits of the different sections of the coun-
try. No one is better prepared TO handle
the subject than himself, he having
travelled in every state and given the ques-
ton of merit of the various sections close
study.
He has been to California a number of
times and his recent visit seems to have
given him less faith in that country than
he had formerly enjoyed The boom pro-
cess, the deceiving process resorted to by
every section, town, city, and almost by
each individual, has, in his opinion, given
the whole affair a black eve for years
Only a moderate attention TO statements
from those living there would soon show
that they had no regard for truth but only
desirious to catch sucker whenever they
could. The sand climate and coast, with
hoard of petty schemers, about sized up
the whole matter.
Mr.. Sturgis has given this side of the
Rockies as close a study as the western
coast. He has traversed Kansas, taking in
all cities and towns, and figured on rail
roads as they are and as the tendency is to
construct them. He gives it as his I'M
qualified assertion that of all the rapidly
growing cities he has seen Wichita has
more territory and the best territory from
which to draw from. and the Wichita of
today is the result. He quite readily dis
covered that the streets were crowded with
busy throng, the wholesale, retail and
manufacturing establishments all crowded
with customers and orders The facts to
be seen were not at variance with his idea
of what to expect after looking at the
country being supplied by the city.

4 good deal of fun was had this morn
ing at the expense of two of the newly
elected city officers. At the corner of first

conversation was in progress. The Ian
guage and gestures became so loud and
expressive that good sized crowd of idle
curious people was soon at the scene.
When the objects of attraction became
aware of their magnetism they started
down Main street, but curiosity followed.
One asked where they were going in that
heated passion, and was answered they
were going down to the island to fight it
out. Before they reached Douglas avenue
10 less than fifty men were following close
