CAUGHT AGAIN.

The same party of juvenile "crap-shoot-
ers," who were short time ago rounded
up in the vacant Ohio house, were yester-
day indulging in a game in an alley be-
tween Emporia and Topeka, near Will
liams street, when Officers Burrows and
knight put in an appearance and caused
them to do some lively sprinting towards
different cardinal points. The boys had
appropriated unto themselves some boards
of barn belonging to o. c. Daisy and
were having famous game, induiging
meanwhile in some choice phrases and
ingenious blasphemy, each trying TO lead
in speaking the vilest. Truly a choice
gang to be roaming around neighbor-

Hon. G. w. Clement got home from Gin
cinnati yesterday morning. His response
in behalf of Wichita appears in full else
where He says Wichita has not only a
host of wealthy champions in that city but
that a number of them are coming here
this spring in three of our great interests
not necessary to mention here at this
time, except, probably. the grain elevator
and store houses enterprise. The chamber
of commerce of Cincinnati appreciated the
action Of our board of trade in sending
delegates to their dedicatory celebration.

pealed to, for information in this matter

the lookout constantly for just such iso-
lated rules in every school. The matter
