he had come there opposed to paving, but
am now convinced that it is necessary" and
moved that when the meeting should ad-
jonrn, that it should be subject.to the call
of the chairman and secretary. Carried.
Mr.. W. II. Sternberg was called upon
for an expression Of his views, and an
nounced without any hesitancy, that he
was strongly III favor of paving.
On motion, it was resolved that the
present organization be made permanent,
in order that when a meeting is desired,
they may be able to call one.
Mr.. Richey suggested that the chair call
another meeting, as soon as the committee
appointed to investigate kinds and costs
of paving is ready to report.
AS DR.. A. NJ. Wassam will soon go east
he was requested to investigate the sub
ject in the east, and any other person in
terested in the matter was requested to do
the same.
The matter Of circulating petition
among the property owners to ascertain
their sentiments in regard to paving was
understood to be deferred until after the
law, cost, payments, ETC., have been
looked into. On motion the meeting adj
journed subject to the call Of the chair.

WOUND UP.

A gentleman yesterday on North Main
street alighted from his carriage and left
his horse hitched to the hind wheels of &
freight. Soon after the driver of the
freight wagon appeared and started off
with his team. Soon after he heard a
general yelling and whooping around him
and apparently some disturbance about
his wagon. Looking around he saw wind
ing some fellows entire rig, horse harness
and cBrriage The work of unwinding
was much more difficult than that of
winding. The owner Of the wound up
team arrived in time to wonder how it

AN INTERESTING CASE,

A rather interesting and important case
has been filed in the district court by Hal
lowell & Hume. 1t seems that in II
Benjamin Ebey and wife and John Hoss
moved to this city from Indiana. Three
years later Ebey and family moved back
to Indiana. In 'S5 Hass loaned ]. j. Lane
s, 500, taking note in favor of Ebey with
mortgage on quarter section of land.
Some time ago Hoss died with the note
unpaid and now the question is who is
entitled TO the money. Ebey has COM
menced suit to foreclose on the mortgage
to collect it. Hoss' administrator seems
to think that he should receive the money.

IMPAIRED PIERS.

The low water in the river exposes the
wood work under the stone piers of the
Douglas avenue iron bridge. 1t is seen
that some of the outside wood has given
way, causing some of the mason work to
be impaired. The safety Of the bridge will
be impaired in time, according to the opin-
ion of City Engineer Mulvey, and the work
of making repairs should not be deferred
as it can be done with comparatively little
cost while the water is low

CURLING AND GUTTERISG.

Assistant City Attorney Campbell gives
it as his opinion that there IS too much
red tape in getting ready TO curb and
gutter. The Ordinance racket" and
publishing racket" and time for objec-
tons racket are all set aside, and instead
a resolution was passed by TIE council
favoring it and advertising for bids. This
opinion is conceded TO have the merit OF
cheapness and briefness and viii be triei
on recommendation OF Attorney Camp

The city engineer is preparing data for
the guttering on the west side of Douglas

BUGS: BUGS:

As is usual after a heavy rain which
thoroughly soaks the ground (such as we
had Monday night, with 20l inches OF
rainfaln, there will for few nights Imme-
diately thereafter be perfect armies Of lit
tie bugs which do no more injury than TO
prove themselves an intolerable nuisance
by swarming about the electric and other
lights to such an extent as to I'll the ears,
eyes and nostrils Of passers by. Last
night these evidences Of a soaking rain
almost filed the globes of some OF the
street electric lights, and when they
reached as high as the points or the car
bon, became ienited and burned in blaze.
Wire screens did not prevent them from
getting indoors.

THE FAIR.
Improvea Prospects Since the Rain.

The working force of the Wichita ex-
position and agricultural fair association
are busily employed every moment OF the
short time that intervenes between this
date and that of the fair, August q to
September l inclusive, at which time
everything will be in readiness to receive
the grand display OF exhibits that are
promised
The gentlemen who viii have charge OF
the various departments, are at work
among their classes and each one is de-
monstrating his desire and Willingness by
personal effort, and is determined to
have the exhibits in his particular depart
ment the most elaborate.
General Superintendent Derby is grant
ing privileges for refreshment booths and
experimenting the work on the grounds.
The army of carpenters will soon have
accommodations in the way of stalls, pens,
etc. that will enable the association to
give reception to stock men that will re-
fleet credit upon Wichita and Sedgwick
county.
J, W. Hastzell, secretary, is attending
to the entries and classification of the diff
ferent exhibits and pushing the advertis-
ing with the thoroughness and vigor, that
is characteristic of everything he does.
Every newspaper within a radius of 200
miles is enlisted in the cause. There is
no doubt that the agricultural fair this
fallwill be the grandest demonstration of
the kind ever before made in this county and
the largest concourse Of people that were
ever before congregated IN this city on a
similar occasion.
In regard to the speed ring it will only
be necessary to say that the liberal purses
offered by the association will attract to
our city some of the best horses in the
world many Of which are already entered,
and people who enjoy good racing will be
well repaid for their visit. 1t is an indis-
putable fact, and one well known to horse
men and others OF experience, that to
build a good mile-track costs an enor-
nous amount OF money, and to keep it in
repair requires constant attention and
labor. This association has already ex-
pended st, 600 on their track and have had
man constantly at work, keeping it in
good condition, since their spring race
meeting in June.
