Butler for some time, is now at home with
his parents, and part of the time with his
gun, as he likes to hunt pretty well
The way the boys make the husks fly,
helping Lewis Bolton husk corn is amaz-
ing and by the way they throw out some
of the finest corn we have seen this year.
Jack Frost is now putting in an appear
ance and the boys are talking of rigging up
''go-deyil to go to a dance in Peters
vile.
Charley Burris never goes hunting but
he brings something home with him if it is
an empty gun.

The Brazilian Revolution.

ALL the coffee roasters Of Pittsburg ad-
vsnced roasted coliecs one-half cent a
pound. last Saturday, on account of the
reported revolution in Brazil and the light
stock in this country. 1t was said that
there were but 4G5, 600 bags of green coffee
in the country, not enough tn supply the
sverage demand for two months. The
New York and Hayrc dealers also put up
price.
The revolution seems 10 have been a
very quiet and peacelhle affair. yet at the
same time a very determined one. Some
Of the leading men took charge OF affairs,
announced a republic, formed ministry
and sent word TO Dom Pedro to leave the
country within twenty-four hours, which
he did by taking steamer for Lisbon.
The government of Brazil since 1922 bas
been a constitutional empire, and the roy
al family was a branch of that of Portuga
who went To Brazil during Napoleon''
wars. Dom Pedro has been Emperor since

steamer leaving Jacmel, one Of Legitimp'S

the town. Captain Holt, in telling the
story Of the trouble in Jacmel. said
"Jacmel has all along been conceded to
be for Legitime, and il was thought that
anybody friendly to HippoIyte would
never have dared to speak his sentiments in
public. Such, however, seems not to have
been the case, for early on The morning OF
the goth a crowd was seen proceeding
down the principal thoroughfare yelling
the war cry Of Hippolyte. The followers
of the insurgrnt Chief were not allowed to
continue, for barely had the mob passed
the door of one of the prominent merchants
of the town when they were fired npon by
a band of LegitimiStS, who had been lying
in ambush for the rebels. The two bands
numbered 200 each, and at the first sally q

"The PrinS MauritS," continued Captain
Holt, clay at the dock in Jacmel while this
trouble was going on, a few of the officers
and crew being ashore, interested Sppcta-
tors of the scene from a distance. They
might have stayed on land much longer
had not the fighting of the mob become
~tiercer, and when some one Of the rioters
set fire to a frame house those of the crew
who were ashore thought it about time to
get back to the ship. Hardly had the
steamer got out of the harb0r when the
firing began anew. Both sides seemingly
had been reinforced, and were fighting
when the vessel slipped her cables and left
for Port au Prince
Capt. Sluitel, commander of the Prins
Maurits, was besieged for Haytian news
all day yesterday as he watched the dis
charge of his cargo at Prentice's stores,
Brooklyn.
"When we reached Port au Prince, after
leaving Jacmel," said he ~ found every.
thing quiet. | noticed that the anchorage
of the seized steamer, the Haytlan Repub.
lie, had been changed since l last visited
the place, and that she lay at the entrance
of the inner harbor, not close to the shore,
but made fast to a large buoy. She was
not then flying any colOrs from her peak,
but her decks were in possession of a
crowd of Yankee sailors, who seemed
to be quite at home on the vessel. I pre-
sumed at the time the blue jackets were in
some way connected with either the Galena
or Yantic.

COURT HOUSE SITUATION.

4 dispatch was received yesterday morn
ing stating that the last shipment Of iron
for the new court house had been made,
which calls for ten cars. Ii is thought 1t
will take about two weeks for the same to
reach Wichita. and on its arrival the roof
ing work will commence in earnest. 1t Is
said that the time Of completing the court
house is scarcely in sight yet. 1t Is said
it may take year or six months yet to
complete the building, but II Will be COM
pleted all the same, some time.
In the meantime the county commits
sioners are being besieged on all sides by
agents who want to furnish something
for the building. As a marked instance
of suggestive enterprise man was on
deck yesterday who wanted 10 sell the
commissioners fine barometer to know
when to adjourn court and get home be-
fore a storm, should it likely be on hand at
usual adjournment time, and also wanted
to furnish each room with i've thermome-
ters- The last part Of the proposition
seemed suggested by the weather itself,
and that part OF the agents topic for dis
cusslon was quite interesting. IL IS said
the extreme pressure Of the agents has
caused Commissioner Duncan 70 desert the
battle for retreats unknown, and hoping
the spirited commercial fends will not

THE BOARD CRITICISED.


Fegtley and Tucker were busy yesterday
at the school board rooms looking over the
books of the clerk and city treasurer
They have been working for some days at
the same job, comparing the books from
'S5. So far everything has been found
essentially correct. Some times there ap-
pears slight differences but as a rule every
thing seems to be coming out about as
correct as could be expected.
The action of the board at its Friday
night meeting concerning the architects Of
the city was the subject of considerable
comment on the streets yesterday,
especially among the architects and their
friends. Some of the leading architects
were heard remark that they had not
| made airy preparations for the work; did
not know what was intended; cost of
buildings and SITES They had expected to
receive such information from the board
at the proper time and was waiting with
the intention of entering for the contest as
soon as the board should make such infor-
nation known. The time allowed being
until next Friday afternoon was not
enough to prepare plans to submit, and in
addition the board had not as yet given
any definite idea of what was wanted. All
who were heard speak of the matter
claimed they were at sea in the matter,
taken by complete surprise, and thought
the board had not acted in the best man
ner for the city. Necessarily they thought
many Of the firms would not be repre-
scented, and that would cut down the list
of plans to select from, and hence to
certain extent limit the chances for getting
the best plans that could be made.
1t was suggested by some that the mem
bers of the board who knew so much about
the architect business had one or two pets
in Wichita who had been posted privately,
and nothing given out publicly, who had
revised some ''incognito" plans and
were ready with clever showing
of borrowed or purchased pencil work
who wanted little time and no instructions
or suggestions so their chances for secur-
ing the job would be greatly increased.
Whether there is any foundation for the
belief or not the idea was expressed by a
number, and in a few instances the arch
fleets in the deal and the why OF it given
in broad tones.
1t is thought an effort will be made to
induce the board to defer the matter on
Friday next and give more time to the
plan makers. 1t is said that petition to
that effect is likely to be presented to the
board and signed by number OF the lead
ing architects. 1t is argued this Will show
the strength Of the ''incognito" following
in No hoard
