RETURN OF OKLAHOMA WILD WEST.

Last evening the train carrying Oklaho-
ma Harry Hills wild west show arrived in
the city over the Missouri Pacific road after
600 mile jump from Springfield. Ill The
company was larger and more complete
than when it left this city the 5th day OF
May last. All were in good spirits and
cheered Justify as the train came to halt
near the passenger depot. The top of the
box cars were ornamented with twenty
five Indians in full red blanket dress
parade, while the sides Of the cars were
filled up with Mexicans, cowboys and
roustabauts. The stages and other show
paraphanslia ornamented the fat cars
and the scene was a familiar and happy
one
Hundreds of people had been drawn to
the depot by the word that the Wichita
show was to arrive and they cheered heart
lily as the train moved in. As soon rs the
familiar face and form of Harry Hill ap-
peared in the door of the sleeper he was
given an ovation, and in a second at most
was surrounded by old friends, who acted
as if they never expected to let him go
home to get much needed rest.
The Indians and other people with the
show were taken to restaurants and fed
and will today go into camp at the fair
grounds, and on Saturday the show will
give it's first entertainment. During its
eastern trip it has been enlarged and
strengthened until the press and public
everywhere unite in praising the enter
tainment. The riding is better and so is
the roping and shooting. Captain b.
gardus met many Of his old friends and
received hearty welcome from all. He
says that he is glad to get to Wichita, as
this busy little city seems almost like
home to him.
During the trip east Harry Hill has played
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois. Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The
shows last stand was made at Springfield,
H., and the big jump from there to this
city was for the purpose OF reorganizing
and going back upon the road. The show
will play large number of fairs
on guarantee this fall and may
split up into two parts. During the first
five weeks out it rained continuously and
the show had hard luck, but the last few
weeks have been very successful ones. 1t
met with twenty-one standard shows on
the road; showing conclusively that this
has been a bad show season. No doubt
the boys will be greeted with the banner
crowd of the season at this, their old home

it might not make much difference with
corner lots, but would hurt inside prop
erty, as cars would be allowed to stand on
the track, blocking the alley. While he
would like to do anything in his power to
benefit the wholesale grocery company, he
hoped the council would consider the ques-
ton thoroughly before granting the fran
chise.
Mr.. Corbett said it could be so arranged
that no cars would be allowed to stand On
the switch and would only remain stand
ing in rear of the building used by them,
which would injure no one.
Mercer inquired if the alley did not be-
long to the city, and if it was open to the
Wichita & Western, when Healy observed
that the alley fails to reach Orme street by
few lots and the property is owned by
Mrs. Jerome. In his opinion, consent
could not be gained to go through that
property without damages being allowed.
Mr.. Corbett said the remonstrance of
last April was not fair test of the prop
erty owners now on the question when Car
son called for the reading Of the remon-
STRANGE and after it was read Mr.. Glaze
said it was his opinion that when the re-
monstrance was presented the property
owners thought the switch was wanted by
the Wichita & Western and thought they
might consent to switch for the grocery
companyfor a term of years from two to
five. He moved the matter be referred to
the franchise committee until this evening
when the committee should report to the
council
Carson offered an amendment to ask
property owners to be requested to be on
hand with petitions for and against and
ready to consider the question
with the council. The vote Ton
the amendment showed affirmative:
Carson, Herrig, Schnitzler and Wight.
Negative: Coffin, Downing, Glaze, John
son and Mercer
The motion passed unanimously which
means that the franchise committee will
consider the question today and report to
the council in special session this evening.
After the council adjourned the crowd
was slow TO leave. There seemed a desire
10 talk the question over. Some of the
property owners wanted the switch and
were enthusiastic and those Directing
were equally enthusiastic against it.

Women Who Use Tobacco,

A popular vice among the ladies of
this part of the state is the use of to-
bacco. Some will chew it like vcter-
ans, while others are content to smoke.
But by far the most common way of
deriving enjoyment from its use is to
take it in the form of snuff. When a
number of women get together the
snutf-box is nearly ALWAYS produced,
with the instruction to take dip" as
it goes around the circle. Then they
will sit and gossip, interrupting the
flow of conversation with frequent ex-
pectorations into a big spittoon or the
fireplace. A snutf-dipper's outfit con-
sistS of small tin canister, about an
inch thick by two inches long, and a
wooden brush. The latter is about
three inches in length, and in. size re-
sembles a slate pencil. 1t is usually
cut from black gum or some other
tough wood. One end is chewed and
splintered by the teeth till it looks like
a small paint-brush. The splintered
end is dipped into the snuff and work
ed around till little ball has been
collected. The snuff thus secured is
rubbed over the teeth and gums. Usu-
ally the stick is held between the teeth
till the snuff has all been absorbed,
whan another dip is taken. For ladies
who object to using canister and
brush a small snuff wafer has been in
vented which can be concealed between
the lips and teeth. A grocer's clerk
asserted emphatically that fully 80 per
cent of the women used either tobacco
or snuff, or both. By thinking men

Things a Baby Can Do.

A baby can beat any alarm clock
ever invented for waking family up
IN the morning.
Give 1T a chance and it can smash
more dishes than the most industrious
servant girl in the country.
1t can fall down oftener and with less
provocation than the most expert tum.
bier in the circus ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss over
simple brass pin than its mother
would over broken tack.
1t can choke itself black in the face
with greater ease than the most ac-
complished wretch that was ever exc
cuted
1t can keep a family in a constant
turmoil from morning till night and
night till morning without once vary
ing its tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep peace
full y all day when its father is away at
business. and cry persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
1t may be the naughtiest. dirtlest,
ugllest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believe it, and you had better
not try.
1t can be charming aud model in
FAINT when no one is around, but when
visitors are present it can exhibit more
bad temper than both of its parents
together.
1t can brighten up a house better
than all the furniture ever made, make
sweeter music than any orchestra ever
organized. fill a larger place in the
parents breast than they knew they
had, and when it goes away it can
cause a greater vacancy and leave a
greater blank than all the rest of the
world put topether.

came II Chaseburg by the stage aud
walked the balance of the way.
Next morning he tremped ali over the
land accompanied by the farmer who
afterwards got up his team and took the
stranger to Chasehurg. They were too
late to catch the stage; so the farmer was
induced by promises Of the liberal pay,
to come on to La Crosse. On the way
mp the stranger mentioned some horse
blankets and buffalo robes he had but
would bo glad to sell cheap; as they near

the town, he said perhaps they had bet

go on up to the Wisconsin house and put
the team out. This they did. The
stranger jumped out and told the farmer
to drive the team around tosthe barn,
then meet him in the bar rom. When
the latter came in the house he asked for
his friend but was told that he went right
out and nobody around there knew him
anyway. Up to this writing the too con-
