POINTERS FROM JUDGE BuoKNER.

Probate Judge Buckner is on his muscle
on account of the way some of the minis
tiers return marriage certificates. The law
on the question says that parties making
returns of q marriage shall designate by
what authority they perform the cere-
mony, whether as justice of the peace or as
minister of the gospel. The judge says
that no fault is to be found with the
justices, their returns being in proper
shape, but some of the clergy simply affix
their name thus leaving person to sur
mise what their Office is. An instance of
this character was brought to light yester-
day which is liable to cause serious COM
plications The marriage in question &C.
Cured in this city during the year 1871,
and was performed by clergyman since
deceased, and return was made In the
manner indicated above. The couple have
lived in this city and county since, the
husband dying short time ago leaving a
wife and one child, boy, TO mourn him.
Shortly after the death OF the husband
word was received from England to the eff
feet that an estate had been left 10 two
heirs, of which the deceased was one, and
later the widow received letter wherein
the other heir TO the estate wished TO pur-
chase the interest now held by her. Yes
terday she called at the probate judges Of
flee for copy of her marriage certificate
with the result that it was found to be in
complete on account of the aforesaid fail
ure to afiix authority TO the return.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The street force yesterday completed
what is known in street improvement par
lance as the Pattie avenue ditch, which
gives surface drainage to large part of
the city from Douglas to Harry and Mead
to Chisholm creek. 1t is thought that
with the completion of the improvement
will end few of the complaints made to
the board of health coming from that sec
ton.
The street commissioner reports that
most of the brush cut from trees north of
the avenue has been removed. The trees
have been trimmed up with reasonable
rapidity and the work in that line pro-
crossing. The street force will commence
removing brush from the south part of the
city today and make the rounds in due

BILE truth and create literary taste. The

sELLSBARRErr.

Cardinel Richelieu said '.in the lexicon
of youth there is no such word as fail, !"
but had he lived when enterprises of the
greatest moment are dwarfed into oblivi-
Gus insignifcance compared with the
achievements of the nineteenth century.
Had the wise old Cardinal lived in these
days, he undoubtedly would have qualified
his language and put it in this way: In
the lexicon of youth there Is no such word
as fail except in the show business" Out
of over two hundred shows that have ap-
peared on the stage OF life since Sells
Brothers became Unidentified as showmen,
there is but one other firm in existence
now, the others having all failed. Not
outstanding the discouraging statistics
which are calculated to brighten people
from embarking in SO hazardous BUSH
ness Sells Brothers are not deferred from
undertaking the most stupendous enter
prises known. This show last season ex-
ceeded in size and daily expenses any other
circus organization by long odds, yet they
piloted it successfully across the continent
This year they have undertaken what
would seem to other managers certain
bankruptcy-the addition of another show
nearly as large as their own, the S. H.
Barrett Worlds Fair, and both big shows
will travelin Union, exhibiting as one. Both
these shows were perfectly equipped and
organized to travel separately, as they
have done for many past seasons, but when
Sells Brothers learned that the Barrett
show contemplated making tour of the
Pacific coast this season. negotiations
were opened which resulted IN the consol-
idation of both shows in one, and the tour
Will be made in union. While this will
increase the daily expenses nearly double,
the price of admission will not be increas-
ed The two shows combined will exhibit
at Wichita on Tuesday. August Is.

TALK ABOUT LIGHT.
Those In After Midnight Darkness Want AL
Night Sci vice.

Since the acceptance of the Cities cleo
trio light proposition by the council
Thursday night for all night service at 81
per month per light that company has
responded with all night service on its
street lines. This as will be observed
gives the city an appearance not unlike
that of big man with one black eye and
the other all right. One side of the city
dark after night and the other light. The
Citizens company have Douglas avenue
east from Market and the street
lights south of the avenue
while the Thompson-H
has Main street and the territory north OF
Douglas between the river and Fifth ave-
nue.. As would be expected those in dark
ness are commencing to howl about help
ing to pay for all night service in one part
of the city and they being allowed to re-
main in darkness from midnight until re-
lieved by the sun. Some of of the council
men were heard speak of the matter yes
terday and said they would aim to remedy
the evenness of things as soon as possible
which would probably not be later than
the next meeting on Monday night next.
The Thompson-Houston,a as will be re-
membered, some time ago submitted
proposition to light the en-
tire city for s. per month for
light but since a part has already been
contracted for it is thought that the COM
pany will revise its proposition to give all
night service in the territory allotted it, so
as to give the all night service for the
same price rs that allowed the Citizens
company.
Quite a number of citizens were heard
to speak of the all night service scheme
yesterday, and most of them seemed to
think that the action of the council in
favor of it was good step; thinking that
all night service should be given. 1t dis
poses of the probable litigation between
the city and electric companies over
meaning of contract for arc light
service, the companies claiming
1888 per light per month and
the city, thinking the contract means Sc "a
per month. According to the interpreta-
ton of the companies they gave all-nlght
service for an additional 67 cents, and ac-
cording to the city's construction of the
contract it places an ADDITIONAL cost of 81 06
per light per month.
While some claim all honest men are at
home before midnight and those caught
out in darkness do not deserve any atten-
lion in the line of protection, and hence
all-night service is not desirable, there are
others who think the tough element would
have more difficulty in getting in their
work and the expenditure in the line of
safety is a proper one.

DIED.

Died, August 1, in Kansas City, Mo,
Trueford b.. the son of William and Reba
Cole, of this city, aged 3years, 2 months
and IS days.
Now, sweet angel faces, keep this win
some boy forever. and forever in their
view"
He was boy of surprising wisdom an d
acuteness. In his bright, wondrous
eyes was prophecy of more than average
youth or manhood The wise. sweet wis
dow of his prattle. the observant conjur-
ings of his fancies, the mysterious ques-
tons stamped him with wisdom beyond
childhood wears. Often speaking to fond
father of profound things; asking mother
questions strange and weird as to God and
angels and death. The oyershadowing
spirit of wisdom breathed on him his life.
The boys deep soul thrilled with thoughts
too great his utterance. And now, father
and mother stand in the dark valley with
wailing hearts and cropping hands.
But upon your fair face no grefs are
dwelling,
Neither sorrow nor disquiet thy peaceful
features know;
Nor the look of wistful wisdom which
seems our hearts
Daylight breaketh, let me go, to be telling.
Daylight breaketh, little Trueford; in its
beams your soul awaketh-
What though night should close around
us, dim and dreary to the view
Though our souls should walk in darkness,
far away that morning breaketh
Into endless day for you.
The funeral will take place this morn
ing, Saturday, August 3, at $50 a. m, from
the residence of T. A. Bailey, corner Pali-
SADIE avenue and Harry street. The friends
of the family are INVITED.

REV. FATHER HARTMAN SURPRISED

It was learned late last evening that
Rev. Father Hartman, late pastor of St.
Joseph's church, had been moved to be
pastor of the Russian settlement, conse-
Quently about o'clock distinguished
party of ladies and gentlemen waited on
him at the residence Of William Dugan
and presented him with gold-headed
umbrella, with an appropriate address.
With emotions Of gratitude did the good
priest thank those faithful friends for
their kind remembrance of him and said:
- hope we'll meet again in that celestial
paradise where removals and separations
will be no more. But peace, harmony and
good viii will reignawith all worthy in the
glory of God. AS for myself have en-
deavored to do my duty. have been in
strumental in building many churches
and pastors residences. but go again
where there is no home for me that could
call my own. But such is the will of he
who sent ME, and l am obedient 10 his
commands"
The Russian Catholic settlement is IA
vored much by the right reverend bishop

THE MINsTRELS,

Goodyear, Cook IS Dillon opened at the
Crawford Grand last night to packed
house, and TO judge from the applause not
one lett the house dissatisfied. The show
is without doubt one of the best that has
visited Wichita in years. and the young
managers are deserving of success. There
is not one Objectionable feature in the
whole program. The singing is elegant;
no better solos were ever heard here with q
minstrel show. Ben Monatt, the club
swinSer. is a marvel and can well be called
the king of clubs. Schilling, the musical
artist, and the Nichol Brothers, acrobats,
are first class. The show closed with q
burlesoue on Buffalo Bills Wild West,
which introduced George West and Char
ley GOODYEAR as the principal comedians.

FAILED TO NATERIA1IZr

Ii was expected that the committee to
select directory for the new fair asso-
citation would hold a meeting yesterday
at the Office of the secretary, Mr.. John
Kelly, but a quorum failed to put in an
appearance and the meeting was a failure
as far as yesterday was concerned. As is
known there viii be general meeting
this afternoon at the board of trade rooms
TO further consider the question of hold
ing a fair and it is thought the committee
NAV be able TO mold meeting this morn
ing and have its report ready for consider

STREET CAR SERVICE TO THE NORTH.

The management of the Riverside &
Suburban contemplate making arrange
ments to give special service to the Dold.
Whitaker and Burton on public" days.
Whitaker is open to the public on Tues
days, bold on Thursdays and Burton car
works on Saturdays. 1t is suggested that
all be open to the public on one or two
days each week, but it is not known
whether such an arrangement can be
made or not The travel in that direction
has greatly increased in the last few
weeks. The lines in that direction at first
operated on the Irish dividend plan have
improved until they have reached the
point of being about as profitable as any
of the branches.
