A PLEASANT PARTY

Miss Clara Hummelke gave pleasant
party at her home on Central avenue
Thursday eve. Quite a number wore pres
ent and a good time is reported. 1t of
course could not have been otherwise, as
there was such jolly crowd present. An
elegant supper was served at 10 o'clock, of
which they all enjoyed very much. TWAS
feared there would be a sick crowd the
next day. Miss Clara did all in her power
to make the guests happy, which she did
very successfully. At II they all dispersed
for their homes, wishing Miss Clara many
more such happy evenings. Among those
present were Misses Sadie Wesselhoft,
Emma Loudermilk, Ollie Bright, Ada
Barrack, Lima Galway, Belle Chamber
lain, Mary Marrow, Melia Bizanta; Messrs.
Will Diddle, Fred Sparkling. James BriDd-
stein, Lou Short George Burnes. Charles

YESTERDAY MORNING,s.FIRE.

There seems to be no doubt but that the
fire yesterday morning on Coolidge ave-
nue. was the work of an incendiary. A
man on horseback was seen coming into
the city one hour and two men in car
riage half an hour before the fire was dis
covered, and it is probable that those
parties had something to do with it. Mr..
Edwin J. Davis, 1887 Coolidge avenue, was
among the first to enter one of the build
ings and he says that he kicked over a
coal oil can. The can was new and the
carpenters who were working inside che
house all day Friday say that the can was
not there when they quit work. This is
the second time the houses were set on fire
the time previous a bundle Of shavings
was found on fire in the cellar OF one of
the houses.
The loss will be over s., 600 with build
ers insurance on the houses of s, 600.

EIGIRING IN EST

DR.. F. w. Whitlock is having plans re-

story brick, with front of seventy-seven
feet and 40 feet deep. The Knights of
Pythias have been considering the matter
of renting the fourth floor and having it
fitted up expressly for their use.
1t is expected that everything will be
ready for awarding contracts in few
days, and that the building will be COM
pleted this fall. DR.. Whitlock is one of
the old residents of the city, having been
here over ten years. He has decided to put

lie spent but a few days in this country
aud was fully persuaded he had found one
of the finest agricultural regions he ever
saw despite the fact he is acquainted with
Illinois, and as a result of his opinion
backed it with substantial investment.
This year he has been advised that the
farm was doing well, fine wheat, oats and
corn never more promising. After the
home stretch of the wheat and oats he
thought he would make visit and ar
rived yesterday. Sure enough he found
wheat averaging more per acre than he
had ever seen in Illinois aud oats a fine
crop, while in his part of the country the
crop had been so poor that he found il
cheaper to ship oats from his farm than TO
buy in his town, so he ordered a car load
sent from here TO his Illinois home.
He seems to think Kansas is all right,
and when any one asks him when he gets
home he will so state in positive terms.

SIDEWALKS.

The city engineer is spending the hot
Office hours over the plain, ordinary. heat
ed sidewalks to be built. It's not the side
walk already in use, but that demanded
and ordered-a large amount OF it-at the
last meeting Of The council.
And, By the way, the sidewalk business
has become quite burdensome, not only to
the engineer but the city clerk. He has
assistants working on the baskets of side
walk literature which have been accumu-
lating for years. trying to get it down to a
system, so that when horny handed tax
payer from Omega avenue in Omega addi-
ton wants to know about the first papers
on the sidewalk question in front Of his
lot and wants to see said papers with his
own lamps, he can with speed and precl-
sion be extended such privilege and cour-
tesy in moment. To see the piles of
stuff about sidewalks, petitions for, kicks
at the petitions and more petitions plus
more kicks with referring public improve
ment committee and reported; then to the
councilmen from Omega ward with power
to report or allow it to go in the soup; then
called up at next council, year later, go
through the same see-saw and dilatory &C
tion with possibly a moment of backbone;
ordered: not put in; and few months
later when forgotten a property owner
who has all the time been wading the

council and inquiries what has become of
it and it is again recalled; advertise for
bids; contract let; bill produced and paid;
and later found not built and readvertised
and repaid and possibly constructed at
last. and kicks on expense take up the last
few lines of the documents on the bit of
sidewalk on Omega avenue in
Omega addition; dating back to a
time when the memory of the contractor
who got the first money knows nothing to
the contrary. This is but fair analysis
of the knotty class of sidewalk work that
finds lodging with the city clerk sand to
have it so arranged and analysed as to be
able to find any and everything on the
slightest provocation. is a task now being
worked on. and which alone would make
a weak man seek rest and repose in the
cold cold ground. The city clerk has
plan adopted for all other classes of bust
ness and indexing and filings being made
to enable all hunting up work to be done
with ease and dispatch. and when COM
pleted the city records will be something
like dictionary and about as easy to
handle.

STOCK YARD NOTES.

j. T. Lii, Leon, had car OF grunters at
the stock yards yesterday.
William Gawthrop, of Garden Plain,
had a car of hogs on the market yesterday.
The stock yards company will commence
building the new yards the early part OF
the week.
L. II. Corbin, an extensive feeder at
Clearwater, was visitor at the yards yes
terday, looking for feeding steers.
Thomas Lindsey. Leon, brought up car
of good hogs yesterday, and was well
pleased with the proceeds of his sale.
The Clearwater Creamery company, of
Clearwater, had fine car Of porkers on
the market yesterday which found ready
sale.
Mr.. Little, of Woodson & Co., was look
ing over the market yesterday. He is sat
isfied that this will be the great live stock
market of the southwest.
The genial A. c. Runyon, secretary of
the stock yards company, always has a
smile and good word for everybody, and
is well liked among the commission men
and patrons of the yards.
Commission merchants Bean, Bleakmore
e. Co. are refurnishing their offices, and
say they have favorable reports from the
southwest on condition of hogs and cattle,
and expect lively business at the yards
this fall.
The live stock shippers of southern Kan
sas are realizing to great extent the ben
eft derived from the Wichita market, AS
the short run, time saved and much small
er per cent of dead hogs makes it an OBJ
ject for them to ship here, and the profit
realized is often larger than could haye
been realized on any other market.
Deacon Smith, of Wichita, was visitor
at the yards Yesterday. He has just re-
turned from his ranch in the Indian terri
tory, where he has been looking after his
large herd of fine cattle. The gentleman
says such business tires him more than it
did twenty years ago. He expects to make
a large shipment to this market in the
near future.
The total receipts at the yards for the
past week were $50 cattle and 2,540 hogs,
all of which found ready sale and satisfac-
tory prices. The demand for hogs was
greatly in advance of the supply. Many
more hogs would find ready market here
at prices which will net the shipper more
profit than he would realize in any other
market. There is also good demand for
butchers cattle, which will bring satisfac
tory prices

METROPOLE ENLARGED.
Some Contracts Awarded on the Work-W0rk
to Commence Tomorrow.

Contract for part of the work OF en-
larging the Metropole hotel was awarded
yesterday. The business of the hotel has
been such that the management have de-
cided that it would be the proper thing to
enlarge the hotel, adding nearly thirty
rooms. The twenty-five foot front on
Main viii be carried up four stories, the
same as the other part of the
hotel. 1t will also be carried
back to the alley, one hundred and
forty feet. Work on removing the resi-
dence just east of the hotel to give room
for the enlargement commence tomorrow.
The new rooms will be large and pleas
ant, some of them supplied with bath
room and fitted up in a first class style.
When completed the hotel will have sixty
five rooms for guests and be one OF the
est furnished, neat hotels in the west.
Originally it had not been intended to
make the additional improvements so
soon, but the demand for more rooms
made it business to do SO much earlier
than at first expected

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.


The audience that assembled in CHECKER
ing Hall last night listened to as rare a
treat as it has been the fortune of Leaven-
worth audiences to enjoy. Blind Boone is a
prodigy in every sense OF the word. His
wonderful skill was a revelation to the
audience, keeping them at times breath
less. not so much in admiration for the
magnificent technique of the rendering but
in wonder at the genius which supple
mented it with a subtlety of appreciation
which showed that Boone had something
in HIM akin to the genius which thrilled
through the exquisite music he inter-
preted. To specify any individual effort
would be needless, but perhaps his rendi-
ton of the Carnival of Venice" with his
own variations. was most cordially re-
ceived. He is master of the instrument
which he loves, and from simple negro
melody that carries US back to plantations
and its many colored scenes to the grand
music of the great composers Boone is at
home. 1t seems as if Providence has gifted
him with his marvellous skill as compen-
sation for the loss of sight, in order that
through the quickened power Of one sense
he may gnd something of that he loses

question of paying for the grounds would

There was no money in the treasury to
use for that purpose. and no way of getting
money except by voting bonds. Some of
the councilmen seem to think bonds for
the location would not be voted. 1t is also
