One hundred aud seventeen excursion
tickets, for the New Orleans Martii Gras
festivities, were sold at the Morgan de-
pot ut this place. Such was the rush for
tickets on Saturday morning, that the
Agent was unable to supply the demand
before the train arrived, and in conse-
quence, q number went on board minus
tickets. Quite number went on COM

that fully one hundred and fifty persons

all Of whom are asknowl edged celebri-

day in town. All the public offices on
the Courthouse square were closed, and
public business was suspended. There

LOOKING FOR POINTERS.

Yesterday about noon a delegation ar
rived from Fl Scott to look over the cleo
trio Lighting plants in the city and get
some pointers about lighting their town
as the city council there. it is said. have
that very important matter now under
consideration. The delegation was COM
posed OF j. l. Stewart, mayor; and men,
bers Of the light committee of the city
council; W. Z. King, w. c. McCune, j.
y. Kennedy. Jas. Hart, c. f. Drake.
They were accompanied by L. c. Thomp-
son, who Is manager for the new company
being formed to give arc light service to
the city. The system to be used is the
Thompson-Houston and they will be ready
to commence giving service in few days.
Last night the party was met at the DC
cidental by some members of the light
committee of the Wichita city council and
taken to the Citizens plant where they
looked over the largest electric
plant in the city giving arc and
incandescent service and furnishing power
for the Suburban railway. They visited
the Thompson-Housuon plant, and after
taking in the pointers there examined the
gas plant and then took carriages and a
lantern to find blinkers, reaching the ho-
tel near midnight. They seemed quite
pleased with the light they saw, and took
in Wichita not only by gas light, but cleo
trio and blinker thrown n for good meas
ure. They leave today on the Missouri
Pacific, and will no doubt have some
pointers for the TT. Scott city council on
the light question. which has for some
time caused much trouble with the Wich
tia city council

NOT HEARD FROM.

The missing cashier of the Pacific ex-
press company was not heard from yester-
day III any alarming manner. The inves-
tigation of the books at the COMPANY S
Office as far as made, is reported showing
everything correct and exact. They have
no solution of the matter further than was
given yesterday.
j. l.. Cooper, the liyeryman, said yester-
day Paul was at his barn between s and
8 O'Clock in the morning Sunday and was
not Intoxicated and dressed up for Sunday.
Ed. Vail was there at the time and also
talked with him, and corroborates Cooper s
statement. A party who has been interest
ed inthe matter to some extent says Paul
was!ast seen in the city about 1870 Sunday
morning He says Paul is out of the city,
and has no bodily injuries unless inflicted
bs himself 1t is thought there are two or
three in the city who know more of the
affair than they have given out for publ
cation.
1t was stated yesterday by one who was
we'll acquainted with Paul that he had
called often on lady who left tor Guthrie
some weeks ago, and suggested that he
might have gone down there but also
thought he would have made his location
known before this time in the face of the
current reports about him.

HENLEY. THE BICYCLIsr, CRAZY.

A. JOS Henley, champion, rode across
the Missouri Pacific railroad trestle on the
ties on Columbia Sc pound, light road
ster. The trestle is about one thousand
feet long and he accomplished the feat
without breaking the machine. This is
something very seldom done by a bicyclist
anywhere. He says he would not accomp-
lish the feat again for brick house and
lot on Main street. He will go into active
training next week for St Louis bicycle
tournament in September, where he ex-
poets to do up Percy Stone, of st. Louis,
Missourl's champion, for the champion
ship of the west. He will come pretty
near bringing the championship back from
there or they will know they done some
hard work 10 down Wichita.

RETURNED FROM THE STRIP

B. II. Campbell has just returned from
his cattle ranch in the Cherokee strip, and
while he does not deny altogether the re-
port that range cattle were dying with
Spanish fever, he greatly modified the re-
ports which have gone out He says a
herd of Southern Texas cattle have been
shipped up to the north side of the strip
and put on the quarantine ground, which
is narrow strip of country lying along
the Kansas line aud kept for quarantine
purposes, and that these cattle have given
the fever in mildi form to a few cattle
which have accidentally run into this
through herd" Mr.. Campbell says the
area thus affected is very limited, and that
with the system OF enclosures now in use
it will he impossible for the disease to
spread even though it wss the malignant
type, which it was not.

it cannot bestow enough praise on those
who took part. Special praise may be
given to Frank Brooks, as Hamilton,
which part he acted to perfection. Charles
Hooker, as Speculation. was quite favor
lite. Ida Rauk and Bella Largent, as ser
wants, kept the audience continually
laughing. Their acting and singing was
well received, and they surprised all by
the cleverness in which they acted their
parts. The instrumental duet by May
Cox and Ella Burrows was we'll rendered
and loudly applauded. The singing by
Mrs Lewis was excellent. The vocal duet
by the Howard children was also very
good
