INvEsrIGATEDITs ORIGIN.

Something less than quart of black
liquid, seemingly fresh from the region Of
fine cut, was tossed out of a second-story
window on Douglas near Market yester-
day and in its downward course part of
it landed on bright summer suit which
was occupied by high spirited young
man. The aforesaid young man was soon
bounding up stairway which he con-
cluded was the way 30 the room of the
man he wanted to see. The door went
open without ceremony and a big fat man,
apparently much interested in a book that
formed a part Of his or some other library,
was the only occupant. The longer the
visitor talked the more the fat man
showed the curvature of his eye balls, and
ut the first suspicion Of an opportunity he
tried to deny that he was the fellow the
visitor wanted to see, but this was no good
and he was forced into the ring without
any Muldoon for a training period. The
two tossed around there for a time in
positive way. making many toggle joint
movements. when the racket attracted the
attention of some fellows in an adjoining
Office and before draw or finish the ex-
ercises ended. After few words not ex-
actly suggestive of typical benedictIon
the two separated

GONE AGAIN.

Mr.. Joseph X. Cash who lived six miles
west of Sedgwick City was reported a few
days ago as having disappeared and found
in the city at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Nuttemeyer on Hydraulic avenue. 1t
seems on the evening of the day he was
found he left the residence of his daughter
and has not been heard from since. One
of his sons reached the city early yesterday
morning looking for him.
No one seems to be able to get any in
formation concerning him. He left on
Saturday evening about sun down "for a
walk" as he claimed. He is sIxty-five
years old and has lived in the county for
twelve years and has never given any evil
dences of mental trouble. His relatives
and friends are very much interested in
locating him.

LOAN EXHIBITION.

4 loan exhibition of curiosities and an
cient things will be given in the near flu
ture by the young ladies of the St Paul NJ.
E. church of this city. A large room in
the business portion of the city has been
secured and in it will be collected hosts of
articles curious and rare from sll parts OF
the world, ana many relics of old colonial
days. The grandfather's clock will be
there, and the settee in which, perhaps,
some fiery young revolutionary soldier
whispered words Of love into the ears of
the prim Puritan maiden. Among the
marvels will be seen books and parch-
ments from the old monasteries of Europe
which saw the light of existence in those
trouoloUs times known as the dark ages;
curious shells from the shores of India:
queer carvings from the land of China;
ancient pottery which attests the existence
of that curious people, the Mound Build
ers; in fact, SO many interesting aud
strange things that we could not begin 20
mention them. 1t viii beyond doubt be
an artistic success, and we feel confident
our Wichita people will aid the young la
dies in making il a financial one

OFF FOR BUSINESS ONLY.

Some of the fellows who expect to be
absent today were making ample arrange
ments yesterday. Some had business in
Newton, some Emporia, some at Sedgwick
and the train was to start early and they
might not get back until tomorrow morn
iIg Most of them, however, will leave
word that they will. in all probability, get
back tonight late you know. 1t is thought
most of those to be absent on business will
90 south on the 7:20 train. and will stay
with it until it reaches some point down
in the territory, in and about the scene Of
the Shea and Abbott contest. OF course
no one will ''be there, be there, be there"

A WORD ABOUT SNAKES,

Whey, the sign man, found a customer
at his shop door waiting for him yesterday
morning. The interview was short and
animated and had many striking features
about it. The caller was a medium size,
but apparently hale and hearty rattle
snake. The visitor for a few moments did
not seem to want the door opened, but in
due time withdrew all objections and was
put out in the common grave yard minus
the seven rattles. When John Fisher
heard Whey telling the news with con-
siderable interest he was astonished how a
little thing like that could amount to any
thing. He said not long ago he had sew
eral hundred of the same kind of snakes in
over ir

OVER THE ROAD.

A merry party, consisting Of Mrs. Cos
tello, her daughter, Miss Genevieve, and
Miss Aleph Russell, accompanied the eff
cient engineer of No. over the Wichita &,
Western yesterday. They report having
had splendid time. Many granger felt
the smile on his face, which good crops
had kept pretty broad, grow broader as
the engine rushed by and he beheld on
the cow-catcher the three ladies. They
say no wonder the farmers grin aud try to
initiate ballet dancers in their joy-any-
one who views the abundant crops can see
sufficient reasons for such antics

AN IMPROVEMENT,

Some of those circulating around and
about the union depot seem to think the
Santa Fe will get good scald" on the
famous and infamous Santa Fe union de-
pot mud hole. After several layers of
dirt, sand and other filIing-up material,
the upper coat is now being put on, and
consists of stone, which makes it a credit
able maccadam. The mud has disappeared,
and it is hoped by many will never be seen
again. The space between the street car
and railroad has been filled up to the
grade, and this will make the driveway
proper, and is quite wide enough to answer
the purpOses

registers nowadays from Anthony. says
the decision of the court in the murder
case now on trial in his town in the opin-

prisoner escape he says the general opinion
is he would be called upon by a number of
citizens in a crowd, who would hold an
earnest consultation with him.

SCHOOL BUILDING LOVER THE TRACKS,

SCHOOL BUILDING COVER THE TRACKS,"
| Petitions seem to be the rule and not the
| exception nowadays in the part Of the
| city east of the Santa Fe and north of the
/ Frisco. The citizens seemed to be worked
up in that vicinity oyer the proposed loca-
ton of school buildings as reported by the
committee on buildings of the school
/ board. 4 system OF work has been out
lined and it is intended to carry it out no
matter what it may cost in glittering dol
lars or how much sole leather it may wear
| out. 1t has been decided to have the enum-
Grafton of the school population taken, and
also to have petitions for school building
in that vicinity presented to every resident
and property owner, and also aim to get
the people there to agree on some location
for a school building to accommodate that
quarter. This is part Of the work. The
result of the labor will be turned over to
the kindness OF the board praying for care
tul consideration in the line of fair ap-
portionment of the funds to be expended
in the erection of school buildings.
Concerning the matter Mr.. I. j. Shep
herd said yesterday that in his opinion the
enumeration would show for that vicinity
over $50 pupils, and they thought
when this fact was clearly demonstrated
to the board it would clearly appear that
building should be located on the east side
of the tracks and north of the Frisco. He
observed that the most of the vote for the
bonds come from the parts of the city
needing better buildings and the part of
the being most comfortable in the line or
school buildings come up with the mega
tive vote. He thought this would be OBJ
served by the board and relief furnished
those needing it most. He referred 10 the
fact that people of that vicinity had for
some time thought they We're not getting
fair deal in certain departments of
municipal affairs and they hoped the
school board would act is such a way as to
dispel all such suspicion.
Some of those most concerned in the
matter hope that the board will indulge in
the luxury of a special session to consider
the question just as soon as they have their
papers and petitions ready for an examina-
ton. They seem to think the snow will
be flying sure before any building material
puts in an appearance in that vicinity
provided it should be so ordered by the
school board.
