ANOTHER WAGON REPOSITORY.

Senator Caldwell, the president of the
Caldwell company, spent the day in Wich-
tia yesterday That far-seeing and sue
cesstul business man, who called for
talk over old times, comedies a glorious
future for the Peerless Princess. Quoting
his own expression, beyond any doubt
Wichita is the next great western COM
merciaI center" We don't know that he
made any arrangements for a repository
for his popular wagons at Wichita, but
his general agent, Mr.. Townsend, was
with him and the two were taking in the
city quite industriously all day. They ex-
pected to have left last evening, Mr.. c.
going to San Antonio, Tevas, but we be-
lieve they didn't get through. Every day
finds the representatives of great business
corporations in our city, but there are few
men in the state who stand higher than
Caldwell and Townsend.

WICHITA SLIGHTLY PLEASED.

Wichita is greatly pleased over the re,
cent decision of the state board OF railroad
commissioners. The decision gives Mis-
souri, river rates. of charges Oh all Fights
pertaining to it's jobbing trade, both IN
shipments to and from the city, on live
stock and packing house products co-eA-
tensive with the state, aud on all other
lines of business to a similar limit, except
on shipments east, where the limit is fixed
at seventy-five miles. With the exception
of the last point mentioned, the decision
is substantially what the city asked for,
and that point-the eastern limit of sew
enty-five miles on outgoing rates-will
probably not long stand in their way. The
other concessions granted puts Wichita on
an equal footing with its principal COM
peting points in the matter of freights.
She will now be able to compete with
Kansas City, st. Joe and similar cites.

CHILD IN a WELL.
James Cofey's Two Year Old Child Falls at the
Uld Water Works Stat on and Saved from
Drowning Through Chance.


Last evening about o'clock 2-year old
child of James Coffey. who lives in the
vicinity of the old water works station on
Riverside and Elm, fell in one of the wells
formerly used by the water works COM
pany. The child had been absent few
minutes when the grandmother inquired
OF Mr.. Coffey whe re it was. He replied he
did not know, when she went to the door
and CHANGED To see it fall in the well. 1t
is about twelve feet to water and the
water about eight feet deep. Mr.. Coffey
FASTENED to the well, jumped down
into it and held the child out
of the water, holding until as
sisted by some neighbors when it was
lifted out The child, from straugulation
and fright, was unconscious for nearly
three hours.
Mr.. Coffey was mnch excited over the
accident, especially after given an oppor-
tunity to reflect and discover the chances
for the death of his child. He said be had
often asked members of the council TO
have the we'll filled up. 1t is now in the
street or in the ground vacated by the
water company for a street. Many chill
dren play in the vicinity every day and the
danger is We great, as he estimates, for
accidents similar TO the one last night

TIL BARBER ASPHALT.


Harrisburg tPean.l Telegraph.
If any doubt remained in the minds O.
residents of Harrisburg as to the duraf
bility of the asphalt covering OF the Mar
ket street pavement, and the solidity of
the stone AMI concrete foundation-or
pavement proper-that doubt was dis
PEELED as far as these were concerned who
passed Fourth and Market street yester-
day, or watched the workmen as they cut
a passage through the pavement for the
track of the Harrisburg city passenger
railway, which has been laid mp Fourth
street from Chestnut, TO connect with the
other tracks at Market. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the covering or
cushion was penetrated with sharp axes
welded by stout arms, and the con crete
bed was almost as solid rs stone itself
Inc Barber company contracted TO lay 3
hrst-class pavement, and they did so; and
II we are 10 judge of its durability from
Its nrmness and toughness, the pavement;
with reasonable care, is almost indestruct-
ible under the ordinary wear TO which il
Is subjected from even the heaviest traffic.

GUN CLUB NOTES.

The boys shot so badly yesterday that
they stole the score book from the score
tary. Its hard TO account for sach poor
shooting as there was a new pump put IN,
in view of the coming drouth, and every
body seemed to be satisfied with the re-
suit of the election.
The secretary would not object to hav-
ing the score book stolen if 1t wasn't for
the fact that he made the first good score
of his life
1t is to be hoped the boys will have re-
pairs on their nerves all made before the
next shot-not so much holding over on
the wrong side of the birds, and then say
their shells had no shot in.
If the gentleman who misappropriated
the score book will return it to the secre-
tary he will set them up and ask no ques-
tons

THE WICHITA UNIyERsIrY.

The Or ofessors and scholars Of Wichita
university have decided on Friday as their
''Arbor day." The location of the witch
tia" is commanding one. 1t is slightly
and beautiful, only needing trees and
shrubbery to render it one of the most de-
lightfully attractive spots in all tho state.
Its friends are in hopes that their Arbor
day will not be forgotten by the good peo-
pie of the city. ANY tree contributed will
be carefully set out and cared for. Send
word where the trees can be called for or
have the same delivered on the grounds.
Evergreens, especially the red and yellow
cedars, will flourish on that high ground.
But every character of tree will be ac-
ceptable Don't forget the Wichita uni
versitY tomorrow.

A $40. 600 BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

The West Side Literati at their club
meeting Tuesday night had great time.
The S. g. B. club of College Hill have en-
joyed no more unique and original enter
tainment than that of the Literati to
which we allude. The room was crowded,
and the feature of the evening was a
breach of promise case for $4,000. A
young lady school teacher was the plain
tiff and a society young man the defend
ant. The attorneys were young law stud
ents of the Garfield, and the witnesses on
both sides were numerous, as was the cor
respondence or love letters of the princi-
pals volumiuous. One of the principal
witnesses for the plaintiff was young
lady who played the part of the
infant terrible and who testified
to have heard the proposal of marriage
from behind the organ. The lawyers on
both side put forth their best efforts to
break down the respective witness on cross
examination. The complaining witness
was pow dered up to look very pale and
heart-broken and the author of all her
woe painted the hardest of Williams. The
point at which the actual printed cards of
invitation to the wedding were introduced
excited the spectators to the last degree of
assumed sympathy, but the elimination
came with the judges charge TO the jury
OF twenty-four. The judge, a regular
practici.g attorney, in depicting the
wrongs of the plaintiff upon the one
hand and those of the defendant upon the
other drew tears (of laughter) from all
sides The unanimos verdict of the jury
was for the plaintiff, but whether the de-
PENDANT has concluded to pay the $4,000 or
marry the girl has not transpired.
