PUSHING THE WORK.

The work on poles and wiring for the
extension of the Wichita & Suburban 10
the Dold packing house has been COM
pleted and with some work on switches
the line will be ready to operate. AT pres
ent only two cars are supplied with motors
and are employed in the service from
First street to Paramount Two more cars
are being fitted up for the Doid packing
house extension and additional service 10
the center of the city. The line will be
extended from the packing houses 10 the
Burton car works, which viii call for an
other car and the motors for which have
been ordered. The motors for the two
cars TO put on the packing house branch
were ordered some time ago and are ex-
pected to arrive in few days, which will
soon be followed with service on that
branch.
The wire for the Burton extension is on
hand and ready for use, but the poles have
not arrived. They were ordered some
time ago. but they have been side
tracked at some jerk water station.
As soon as they arrive the Burton extern
sion will commence TO develope rapidity.
The recent visit of lightning, according
to the electrician, established the fact that
the arresters TO protect cars and dyna-
mos, are able for the work intended. One
pole was split up into fine pieces, and four
on either side badly damaged, but nc
damage to machinery. The feed wire was
let down to the ground which interfered
with the service until il could be tied up,
which took about an hour. From the ex-
perience, the electrician thinks the cars
and the station are thoroughly protected
from any attack by lightning.

THE SECOND GAME

The Clippers played the second game Of
series with Hutchinson yesterday on the
latter's grounds, and were defeated by the
score of to Z. 1t was conceded by every
one present that the boys played excellent
ball and would have made it more inter-
esting for the Hutchinson team if they had
gotten any kind of a show FROM the UNI
pire. Quite number of decisions were
made in favor of the home team which
were so rank" that the audience were
profuse in Misses and groans, and finally
got so BAD that the spectators in the grand
stand at one time came out so strong against
him that he was forced to change his de-
cision.
The Clippers, however. can be proud Of
their showing, and though they have been
defeated twice they must remember that
they have been playing with probably the
strongest nine in the state as seven out OF
the nine players are professionals. Ben
nett, who caught for Wichita when she
was in the western league,
officiated behind the bat for
Hutchinson and did splendid service
Cachard pitched the ball of his life yes
terday striking out eleven of Hutch's
hitters. Perrin did excellent service be-
hind the bat The remainder of the play
ers, Conklin, Johnson, Andrews, Owens,
McAdams, Pope and Hartle also did
yeoman service. The especial features OF
the game was Andrews drive to center
with two men on bases, bringing in both
runs and going to third himself.
If grounds can be secured and fenced in
by the Fourth of July Hutchinson will play
here on that day and it is safe TO prophecy
that the boys will take this game from the
visitors.
A number of other clubs have written
for dates and will have the pleasure of
seeing some good ball before the season
closes
D. J. Dean, of the Metropole, has accept
ed the management of the club and he
says he will have one or more visiting
clubs here each week.

FIGURING ON MAKING STREET CARS.

Mr.. Edmonde Verstraite, the electrician
for the Riverside. is figuring with the
Burton Car company to manufacture his
patent of palace street car, some of which
are now in use on the Riverside line. The
car is a beauty and quite useful, as IS
known by those who have had any &C
quaintapce with it, and the striking feat
ures are the work Of Virstraite who has
patents for them. He says he has large
correspondence asking information con-
corning the cars and the ST. Louis factories
have made those in USE

the early political history of Kansas, spent
yesterday afternoon in Wichita. Colonel

he informed us that arrangements were
undoubtedly being made for the early ex-
tension of the Union Pacific from McPher-

ALMOsTDROwNED.

Yesterday afternoon three little boys
were playing along the river bank south
of the Maple street when one of them fell
in and being unable to swim was carried
swiftly down stream by the current. The
larger of the two remaining upon the
bank leaped bravely in and reached the
little fellow just as he was going down for
the last time. A gentleman who had been
attracted to the spot by the cries of the
boys rescued the two while they were max
ing a desperate effort to reach the shore.

Then Hon. VIM. Ross, whose home is at
Clearwater, and who is conversant with
the details of the late Newcome tragedy,
writes the EAGLE letter which wipes out
all the supposed mystery of the case. The
editor Of the EAGLE was absent from home
when some of the publications were made.
We never heard it charged, however, nor
seen it charged in print, that anyone con
nected with the bank had done the shoot
;ng. We are glad that Mr.. Ross has taken
the pains to set this matter out in its true
light; glad for our readers, for the public
in general and for those more directly in
terested and connected with it. Mr.. Ross
is one of the Oldest settlers and best known
men in Sedgwick county, who has held
several honorable and responsible posi-
tions, and his word is as good as his bond,
and there is hardly chance for his ever
being mistaken wherein plain questions of
fact are involved. We know nothing of
Mr.. Newcome, but so far as Mr.. Tilling-
hast is concerned, and who was formerly a
resident of this city. we have never heard
his name or character questioned,

A MORD FROM PRATT

Gen. Eggleston is quite happy over
prospects for crops in Pratt county. He
has a ranch there of eight hundred acres
and has been hard at work on it for five
months and was very anxious for good
results. While taking rest he delights
to talk about the fields Of wheat, oats and
corn. He is considerably amused at the
talk of some anti-kansas fellows who had
seized on to the assertion that Kansas
would never again raise such crops as in
early days long about IS. He says be
knows something of early day crops and
he is willing to go on record as saying that
the wheat and oats crop of this year are
better than any other year in the state OF
Kansas. He says the farmers OF Pratt
are smiling as they have never smiled be
fore and they are counting out the money
to pay off mortgages. They amt satisfied
to pay interest and renew but they want
to pay the whole thing and be out OF debt
and try for an experiment how 1t goes TO
be square and even with the world
