OKLAHOMA TRADE ALL MIGHT.

Mr. W. T. Bishop, of the wholesale cigar
firm of NJ. T. Bishop & Sons, returned yes
terday morning from the Oklahoma coun-
try, where he went Monday to see the
trade. He is quite enthusiastic over that
country Aside from what he saw he has
reason for it. He sold 81 900 cigars. Aside
from the untireing influence of fine
country the business itself should have a
smiling effect. Not being in the habit of
seeing great towns of thousands popula-
ton spring up in a few days. he was
strongly impressed with the information
furnished by the trip. He says the Okla
homa country is haYng plenty of rain; the
people are working hard. and report IA
vorable results. They want to trade with
Wichita as their natural and logical busi-
ness center He also found many dealers
there who are acquainted with the old
Bishop firm, of Cincinnati, OF thirty years
record, and they like to talk of former
days and an introduction came easy and

Monster Spiders.

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
and India there is a spider that spins a
web like bright yellowish silk, the CEN
tral net of which is five feet in diameter,
while the supporting Lines, or guys as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet long; and riding quickly
in the early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining round
your face like a lace veil, while as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the nose, and
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will, and, though not venonous, his
jaws are as powerful as a birds beak,
and you are not likely to forget the en-
counter
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright gold
or scarlet underneath, while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slate colored fur. So strong are the webs
that birds the size of larlls are frequently
caught therein, and even the small but
powerful scaly lizard falls victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow and scarlet monster,
measuring. when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully six
inches, striding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in which
he winds his stout threads around the
unfortunate captive. He usually throws
the coils about the head till the wretched
victim is first blinded and then choked
In many unfrequented dark hooks of the
jungle you come across most perfect
skeletons of small birds caught in these
terrible snares, the strong folds of which
prevent the delicate bones from falling
to the ground after the wind and weather
have dispersed the flesh and feathers

A Little Child's Presence of Mind.

Ralph Ball, little fellow years of
age, is the hero Of the day in Carbon
dale, Pa. Several children were playing
around an unprotected well, when Eddie
Widner decided to take drink from it,
As the water rises within foot of the
surface the little fellow thought he could
reach it by lying on his stomach and
putting his head down to the water, but
in trying this feat he lost his balance
and plunged head first into the spring,
which is over six feet deep. In his fall
he turned complete somersault, coming
up head first, but as he went down be
uttered cry that attracted the attention
of playmate, Ralph Ball, who is only 5
years of age. The latter fastened to the
place, and, with precocious presence Of
mind that would have deserted many an
adult, he took in the situation at a glance,
and, seizing the already half drowned
boy, he held his head above the surface
Of the water until the united voices OF
the children drew a man who was work
ing near by to the rescue. Eddie was
restored to his parents rather the worse
for his dangerous bath, but was soon
completely resuscitated Chicago Times.

An Emperor's Student Days

An AAHPcIOIS Stu0cuI lays
During bis school career the German
emperor was model of the studious Ger
man youth. He took his place as COM
mon pupil in the public school at Cassel,
and played and studied with the other
scholars. At the final examination he
was, indeed, only tenth in the list; but
then he was two years younger than his
mates, and was rightly considered to have
done SO well that his tutor was immedi-
ately knighted. There is no examining
system in Germany; he passed without
aid or favor
At the University of Bonn have sat
on the same benches with him, and seen
him, with his little note book, writing
down, like a hard worked reporter,
nearly all the professor uttered in his
lectures on the great German authors OK
on the genius of our own Shakespeare.
The prince was anxious also to study
subjects not just then in the curriculum,
and for these the professors attended at
his rooms
By the professors the prince was
treated with an almost servile adulation,
and he won their esteem and love. He
had them all in turn to dinner at his
rooms in a villa which overhung the
Rhine, with the honeysuckle, clematis
and Virginia creepers reaching over and
down the garden walls almost to the
waters edge.
The queen sent him out from England
a splendid boat, costing nearly e200, but
he used it very little, and it generally
lay moored by the bank beneath his gar
den, idly rocking in the ripple of the
Rhine.
But he took part heartily in all the
amusements common among German
students, namely, beer drinking, duel
ing, torchlight professions, carriage
driving, bathing and, in winter, sledg-
ing. / do not think he ever fought a
real duel, but he mingled freely with the
duelers, and in knelpen drinking bouts
and torchlight serenades, slipping and
sitting with the Slippers of light German
beer till late into the night.-Au the
Year Round.

THE PRESENT TROUBLE.

The school board will hold another ses-
sion this afternoon, convening at their
elegant quarters in the Sedgwick block at
4 p. N. The question now before the
board is how to spend the 100000 that
was provided. At the meeting today the
architects of the city are expected to be on
hand with their fancy work. The paper
houses of the city will be on hand for in
spection. OF course no member Of the
board will have preference resulting
from former acquaintance or figuring
with any one. The whole affair will be
on a high moral and business basis and
nothing mercenary or anything of that
sort. 1t is thought by some that the meet
ing will result in a committee being ap-
pointed TO go east possibly TO Paris TO make
a speciality of architecture as it appears in
school buildings. Then it is added that
some of the janitors don't fit their places.
The committee will also figure around
tenement houses in some large city to get
an efficient corps of janitors-
1t is said the committee on building sites
will be loaded for a report, the result OF
much labor around the real estate ex-
change.

IN a HURLY-BuRLY.

Main street north of the Occidental is
decorated with some mud holes that
causes the street car company to fear that
they are in danger of losing their mules
At last accounts six express wagons and
ten job outfits had come up missing. The
odor arising reminds one of the elegant
sea breezes enjoyed by Wichita's outing
parties two years ago. Some places on
Douglas have about as much oblivion ca
pacity, while some of the suburb districts
are being heard from. The street
commissioner in the hurly-burly of
drowning and perishing is said
not to lie in the wreck, but
but out of town. 1t is reported that he
writes to friend occasionally that he is
trying to effect compromise on the rain
business. The government weather officers
are kicking on the scheme, ever the Wich-
ita Office working up prejudice 1t is

RAINS. BKIDGEs AND WHEAT

The Seventeenth street bridge across the
Little river is being damaged considera-
bly, by the high water. The recent heavy
rains have caused the river to rise, and il
is cutting into the east bank and damag-
ing the piling and approach. The city
railway ordered cars to stop at the east
end of the bridge until some repairs can
be made.
The rains have made a showing in all
the rivers and creeks. Some of the far
mers were reporting the creeks higher
than they have seen for some time. They
were afraid some one would wake uD
drowned in drouthy Kansas one of these
cloudy mornings.
While the heavy rains have DELAYED for
some days wheat stacking, it is not
thought probable that great amount of
wheat will be badly or seriously damaged.
The farmers are watching their chances
quite close and the moment wheat is dry
enough they will commence work. Some
passengers on last evenings trains report
ed having seen the good work going on as
they passed through the country last
evening.
