Here is a pretty verse from
James Whitcomb Riley.
The world is full of roses,
The roses full of dew.
And the dew is full of heavenly love,
That drips for me and you.
But as we do not like the idea of
"dripping" love we would suggest
the following:
The world is full of roses,
The roses full of dew.
And the dew is full of honey,
For the bees and me and you.
You do not accept our amend
ment? then we move the previous
question in the following form:
The world is full of thistles,
And the thistles full of thorn,
And they spring up indigenous,
But we must pillow and hoe for corn.

RATTLE TIE BUM.

Halloween was observed by the boys
last night in the usual manner. if any diff
ference not so much observance" as usual
The villainous night was set up as an
excuse for the apparent lack Of racket and
results, but there were many evidences of
the occasion all the same. At an early
hour this morning the business signs of
Main street and Douglas avenue, by the
dim lights here and there, seemed to be
slightly disheveled. Some of the tin af-
fairs had been torn loose from the fasten-
ings; the board signs were as rule tossed
out in the street but not broke to pieces,
as there was nothing solid to strike.
Many of the store boxes that have
to capacity of one at a time were dumped
in the streets without much care as to
position. 1t was not estimated, however,
that goods amounting to very many thous-
and dollars could be found on the inside
and hence little damage would be ex-
pected. 1t is supposed the boxes will be
elevated to their usual positions early to-
day.
1t was reported at l o'clock this morn
ing that couple shots had been fired a
half hour before near the corner of Law
renee and Lincoln Streets and that some
fellow with bad stomach and worse
temper had been aroused by some trouble
at his gate and turned loose a rattle trap
of a gun. No one injured reported and
whether Halloween visitors caused the
confusion OR some visitors of another
kind.

A NEW STREET CAR MOTOR.

The Topeka Capital gives an account of
new street car motor, the invention OF
P. Hockett of Colorado Springs. That
paper don't say that it has been tested
practically but the inventor wants to put
1t in operation on the Topeka horse car
line. The Capital says that this motor
employs the storage battery system, the
patent being the lever and wedge motions;
it is the only motor made that uses the
steel wheels on the rear axle instead Of
coSwheels; this gives the motor lever
power of about eight feet, which does
away with about half the amount of bat
terry. The storage cells are placed under
the seat in the car SO that small motor
will propel it, a five horse power accom-
plishing with this motor what requires
twenty horse power on ordinary motors.
1t is perfectly noiseless and makes only
400 revolutions a minute, while the com
mon motor makes from l 1000 to 1000. 1t
is not necessary to have power house for
this motor, as electricity from any electric
plant in the city can be used. Mr..
Hockett thinks his motor is undoubtedly
the best thing that has yet been produced
In the line of street railway motors. If he
can secure sufficient encouragement he

A BIG TRADE.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Last Week b.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars Last Week by
Two Interests.
The money of southwest Kansas is not
all coming into Wichita and none going
out. Of course the greatest wholesale
mercantile concerns in the state OF Kansas
are located in Wichita and the most extern
sive and magnificent retail establishments
in many lines to be found west OF Kansas
City, are here, the aggregate daily receipts
OF all of which figure up no small sum;
but, Wichita upon the other hand. is pay
ing out stream of money daily into the
hands of the farmers and producers of
southwest Kansas The clearing house
shows hundred thousand dollars
day of business transactions but the paper
that goes through clearing house is but
per cent of the business, such per cent
only as is not done directly between the
business man and his bank. Day before
yesterday there was paid out by one bank
for one milling firm in this city seventeen
thousand dollars for wheat, and the day
before that nineteen thousand, and they
are buying every day, as is the other two
mills. This statement led us to the in
quiry of what was being paid out to the
farmers OF southwest Kansas by Wichita
for products. The amount could not be
properly estimated or ascertained, but we
find out to certainty that last week, for
live stock and grain alone, the two most
important items, upwards of ore hundred
thousand dollars were paid out through
the Wichita banks. Such a volume of
money from these two sources alone must
soon be felt in all the local channels of
trade Of which Wichita is the center.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

Mr. Valentine Jobst, of Peoria, Ill. gov
eminent building contractor, arrived yes
terday morning and will be in the city
some days. He makes the smiling sug-
gestion and prediction that the building
will be completed in three or four months
from the present date. AS yet nothing
has been heard of the plans for heating
1t is not likely the contract for that work
will be awarded and the work completed
before plans are made and received AS a
result that part of the work may cause
some delay, and the time for the finishing
touches deferred.
1t is reported that the clock will be on
hand in due time, and that it will be q
credit to the building and surroundings.
The information about the elevator so far,
is not reported as encouraging.
Mr.. Jobst yesterday awarded the con-
tract for an iron circular stairway from
the upper floor to the tower, to Stewart
Bros. There are some small contracts TO
be let yet which will probably be attended
to in a few days.

COITRT. =,

OCCASIONAL SCENES IN The PROBATE
COURT.
There are frequently scenes in the pro-
bate court that. aside from the sympathy
one feels for others in trouble, are anus
ing.
Judge Buckner and his staff keep their
own counsel and doubtless many of the
strangest experiences are never known,
Occasionally, however, an outsider is pres
ent when something comes up which is
worth telling. 1t was only the other that
lady called with the intention of getting
her husbands estate. matter of $40, and
supposing that merely telling her wants
was having them satisfied. AS soon as she
leatned that there were certain formalities
to be gone through with she became in
dignant and told the judge what she
thought of him.
On another occasion rather elderly
gentleman called with his intended
bride for the purpose Of secur-
ing marriage license. The clerk
soon learned that the applicant had been
divorced from a former wife only three
months back. This barrier to so much
happiness was something entirely new to
the verdant couple, who left to have the
law changed.
One day an aged colored individual
called to secure license to marry the OBJ
ject of his affections, stating he had been
married twice before in rather a loose
fashion, and that he wanted the job done
this time in proper shape. He further
stated that the second wife was dead but
the first was yet living, This peculiar
state of affairs placed the case beyond even
the advice of the clerk. and the colored
gentleman was compelled to give up his
proper notions. As he stepped into the
street he remarked to friend in waiting
that there was no encouragement for
man to do right in this country.
