TIE CHISHOLM MYSTERY.
Or the Dark Deed Done Down on the Drear
River Bank.

Another of those frightful tragedies that
stain the annals of civilization was made
public yesterday. 1t is not yet known
whether it is the solution TO the Oak street
mystery or the sequel to the Brown disap-
pearance.
Two boys had seen floating down the
peaceful Chisholm. that has been the loca-
ton OF so many bloody tragedies and the
Lewis dam. the dead body of murdered
man. And now at the still hour of mid
night when the city is wrapped
in slumbers and the pail of darkness has
fallen over ALL Officer Charley Burrows
and party of lynx eyed newspaper men
are searching for that body. At last an
old stone bridge is reached, where the will
lows droop down into the quiet murmur-
ing current and the whippoorwill doth
nightly pipe forth her mournful lay. Here
in this lone sequestered spot, fit for such a
dark and bloody deed, they discover the
floating body. BY the dim light of the
lantern and the pale rays of the moon
1t floats upon the bosom of the stream
They think already they sea there cold and
clamy the corpse Of Roderigo; bis pale
face and black locks washed by the limpid
waters; his hands are tied together: upon
one of the fingers sparkle diamond ring.
The CORY deed was evidently not done for
money.
Roderigo had just left the window Of
Anastatia when aionterigo slipping up
behind had buried in his heart silver
dagger 10 which was attached ribbon
with the words, "Ha. ha
ever thus TO me enemies, no.
no." They could see this. oh SO plain, by
that dim pale light. The officer took a
long pole and towed over to the waters
edge the body and then landed it upon the
bank. There it lay-a hogs paunch-the
Of the man was not found.
The officer dropped the pole and stink
ing quietly and cautiously through back
alleys and across lots. reached his home
and climbed in the back window; while the
others held a post mortem examination
and wrote out the head lines.

THE WICHITA UNIVERSITY.

From the University and Church.
Wichita University was founded in 1886.
and has now been in successful operation
for one year. In point of location it is I'M
surpassed. There isnot within the limits
of the city, or FOR many miles around it, n
site more beautiful and healthfuf than
College Hill, where stands the Wichita
University, and none that so well com bnes
the advantages of salubrity and beautiful
view of the city with quietness and adapt
ability for study.
The building Is situated in the center of
plot of ground containing about twenty
acres, which is high, well drained. and
has recently been beautified by the plant
ing of trees in great number and variety.
To the east are great stretches of rolling
prairie; TO the west the city in full view.

Last evening delightful reception was
rendered Rev. and Mrs. r. T. Savin, the
new minister of the First NJ Z. church, by

Rev. and Mrs. Sayin and the in
PRODUCTION committee, Mr.. r. p. Muir
dock and Mr.. and Mrs ". Z. Stanley.
As the attendants arrived they passed
down the center aisle and were presented
and most cordially and kindly received by
the honored guests of the evening.
Afterwards Miss Lulu Granger played
most beautifully q march and then all re-
paired to the class room in the rear Of the
church where exquisite refreshments con-
sisting of creams, ices, cakes and other
delicacies were served. The tables were
ladened with silver and cut glass ware
with profuson OF natural flowers and
vines and presented most inviting

warm-hearted generous people among
whom they have cast their lot, and upon

STREET GRADING.

IL we are uOU 10 nave any paving III
Wichita, we do hope the new street COM
missioner will quickly learn the art of
so grading our streets that they will shed
water and not become troughs of despond.
We do not much blame the people of Waco
avenue for wanting that street paved. In
riding over it the other day we were struck
with the fact that for most of the way the
middle of the street is decidedly the lowest
part. Were it not for the sandy nature of
the soil in that locality, Waco street at the
north end would be a great lake ia wet
weather. If that street was properly
crowned up in the center, land don't be
afraid of getting it too rounding, Mr..
Commissioner, and some clay carted on, to
mix with and harden the sand, we venture
the assertion that part OF the cry from
Waco for paving would be ST
fenced. We notice that the city
is at work now on East Douglas
avenue, but the man in charge of. the
work is making great mistake in grad
ing the street too level. If our suburban
streets Were graded not over thirty feet
wide, snd twenty-five would he better in
many places, then cut bitches fifteen 20
eighteen inches deep, and crown up the
center Oh regular curve G1dt much Higil-
er, we would have roads which would
stand any practicable amount of wet
weather without getting muddy. When
graded in that way the wagon track is
bound to be in the center, as it is
uncomfortable TO ride on the slop-
ing sides, but the way most of
our streets are now graded. the travel
twists around from one ditch 10 the other
aud our streets look like cow paths through
the weeds. Three grading machines
could be kept running in our city 10 good
advantage most Of the time and would
produce far better results at less expense
than the small army Of hand shovels now
employed. These grading machines do
especially good work in smoothing our
roads when the ruts commence to harden
after a storm.
